2 days after Barry's departure to coast city

August pov

"Argghh please no more am begging yo…..arghhhhhh" a voice screamed out in a dilapidated ware house as a man stood over him with his hands generating electricity as many bodies could be seen around him on the ground either dead or close to deaths door "am going to ask you one last time if not well you'll end up like them he said referring to the bodies around him "I told you I don't kno-" the man was suddenly cut off and august grabbed him by the neck slamming him against the wall "listen here you have two choices one I torture you slowly or two you get to live" he said menacing with lightning crackled round his body no I'll talk his name is eva-" he was cut off as a knife shaped shard went through he's head killing him "what" august said dropping the body and turned around to see a man standing in the middle of the building wearing an orange and green suit with a green mask to hide he's features "who are you" august demanded "heh isn't it proper to introduce yourself first" "my name is none of concern" he said with narrowed eyes as his body tensed ready for a fight "öh I think your name is my concern you flash knock off after all you have been killing my men" he said gesturing around to the bodies around your their boss huh I see so your leader of black hole" "yes I am and you've been an utter pain in the ass so now I have to kill you" "yeah but if you haven't noticed am the super powered one while your weak and alone" who said am weak and alone" he replied with a menacing smile as the air behind him began to get distorted as multiple black hole soldiers appeared "if you haven't noticed I have taken down all your men before so what's the difference" august said mockingly "oh I think you'll see the difference" he replied ominously as they began shooting at him so easy he said as time slowed down and he moved away from the blast only for it to turn and follow him hitting directly on his chest sending straight to the wall "urgh what the hell they couldn't do that before" he said holding his chest in pain he looked at the soldiers as he noticed that their amour was more darker and bulked up while their guns where emitting some dark energy feeling a little down flash wannabe mirror master mocked as the soldiers began to advance towards him glaring at him "it seems those things can follow me and can disrupt my speed damn it" he thought channeling more of the speed force through his body ignoring the pain he was feeling he smirked looking at them as he ran round the building as they shot at him seeing it following him he smirked as he phased through different objects in the building as it had stopped those projectiles smirking he looked at mirror master seeing his smirk mirror master frowned "well then let's see you avoid this" he said as he gestured at them to fire again rolling his eyes august was about to run when felt intense pain in his leg "what, how" he thought as he felt another shot on his back then his back then they began to spread hitting him all over his body "ahhh" august screamed in pain falling to the ground he looked up to see mirror master smirking at him with his left hands raised glowing slightly grey "*cough* *cough* y-y-you're a meta human" august questioned with forced breaths as blood came out from his mouth meta human oh no am not it's the suit not that you need to know that as you'll soon be dead he said approaching august as his men held him down "let me go" he said struggling but in he's current situation he could barely do anything "am going to fucking kill you he said "and what could I have done to you" you killed my brother hm your brother you'll have to be more specific as I killed a lot of people in my life" he said with a shrug "he's name was J-" he said but held back as he didn't want him to know who he was "hm well it's not like it matters right so just go ahead and kill me" mirror master looked at him thoughtfully "hmm kill you na you need to pay for all the trouble you have caused me so am going to make you suffer for eternity by trapping you in the mirror dimension" he said as he put his hand on august as he's body began to get distorted and vanished "clean up this place and leave no traces he said as a mirror appeared before him as he entered leaving them. Appearing a building full of tech he approached a pod with woman inside "hello my love" he said taking of he's mask to reveal a handsome dark blonde haired man with blue eyes Evan McCulloch "don't look at me that it's not my fault you were greedy with your gifts your lucky I need you unlike your husband" he said as he connected he's belt to her pod as it began draining her powers as she screamed in pains "don't worry soon my dream shall be achieved the destruction of all speedsters" as he face faded away like a hologram to reveal a dark haired man with a scar on his face "i-i-I'll kill you" she screamed as she passed out from the stress "I highly doubt that" he said as he disconnected the belt and kept it in safe as he clicked his watch as the hologram of Evan McCulloch appeared as he walked out of room thinking nothing could disrupt his plans but unknown to him a certain someone was watching him within the room through the mirror dimension with a cunning smirk "well isn't this interesting" august said sitting on the ground while holding his ribs, after watching the entire thing as a he began devise a plan to take craver down and give his body time to heal " hey you wake" a voice called looking up he saw eva looking at him yeah what is it" "who are you she questioned "should I really tell her hmmm" looking at her suspiciously look its ok if you don't want to tell me at least how you got here" she said after noticing he's hesitant and distrustful look "your husband or whoever that was trapped me here" "that bastard isn't my husband" she replied with a hateful look "I see that means that he's using your powers for his own again but I don't understand his goals" he said as he noticed all the cords connected to her pod she then explained that when the particle accelerator exploded she was sent into the mirror dimension and was trapped there for four years and how the mirror dimension can warp reality as the concept of time is nonexistent and that's how she was able to survive without food and water she then said went on to explain how her husband had found out she was trapped and they both began to look for ways to free her that's how they met joseph craver last year a scientist who said he could free her and had done so but then he had knocked her out and captured her while he shot her husband killing him and using her powers to disguise himself as her husband and taking over her company and using it to build an anti-speedster organization "why would he go to such lengths" "apparently he has a grudge against the flash for causing that lightning storm as it had scarred him and given him erectile dysfunction which made his wife leave him" "I see, that seems like a logical reason but it doesn't excuse him for he's done" he said with gritted teeth while clenching his hands "you lost some one didn't you I understand and can feel your pain so help me stop him before he does something worse" "something worse what could be worse than planning to kill all speedsters" "he plans to not only kill the speedsters but their source of power he call it the speed force and he plans to use an antimatter bomb to destroy it" what the hell he can't do that everyone connected to the speedforce would die" he exclaimed in shock " yes its bad but that's not the worst of it he had built a device to find those speedsters affected by the storm and he had drained them of their speed except for two of them but he has dispatched a team to track them down" "hmm how do you know all these" "I may be confined here but am still connected to the mirror dimension so I can see all that he's planning and that's also how I can see and talk to you but back to the topic you need to stop him" "how can I stop him I don't even know how to use my powers properly and the flash has been a no show" "then find the flash he can help you" "he hasn't been seen for a year and I highly doubt he would approve of my methods so I had decided to go to kid flash but he is just an arrogant punk" "then why don't you ask watch YouTube videos and learn from it and get better" "I was already doing that but didn't expect craver to show up and trap me here" he said gesturing around the area "I can get you out only if you come back to save me" "I promise I will save" he says with determined look "thank you but before that you have to be careful of craver because the more he uses the powers of the mirror dimension the more it warps his mind making him more unstable and that would make him more dangerous" she said as she willed the mirror dimension to open a portal for him "his not dangerous I am" august replied as lightning crackled around and he was gone in a gust of wind "soon craver very soon I will have my revenge and I promise to make you suffer for it" Eva thought with a bloodthirsty look in her eyes.

Central city unknown alley

A white streak could be seen coming out of thin air as it moved through the city entering his apartment building "I need to find a way to stop him and I need a better suit" he said looking down at his damaged amour with cuts and blood all over walking over to a wall he phases through it was a secret room full of tech walking over to the bench where he looks at his new suit design as he pulls up information about the flash and begins to keep tabs blackholes movement "seems it's time to up my game" he says with a smirk

1 Month later

A whitish gold streak could be seen moving through the city as a yellow streak chased it "goddammnit cisco who is this guy wally said as he struggled to catch up to him "I don't know but appeared 2 weeks ago and began killing and hunting all blackhole operatives, we need to stop him try cutting him off" he said over comms, increasing his speed wally moved left and used a short cut trying to cut him off but he just phased through Wally's body argh wally growled frustrated "don't worry wally I helps on the way" Caitlin chimed in as wally was joined by an orange streak "hey there west" Jessie greeted stoically Jessie he replied back "I don't need your help" "that's not what" Caitlin said "well she was wrong I don-" "guys sorry to break up your love talk but can you guys focus on the task at hand" cisco cut in breaking their argument whatever wally mutters as both he and Jessie chased godspeed "these guy don't really know when to give up do they'' god speed thought sensing another speedstar time to end this hes said as he ran onto a clear field waiting for them seconds later the were there standing opposite to him "who are you" wally demanded pissed off cause he wasn't able to catch up to him "who am I well I was thinking of calling myself the new and improved flash seeing as he bailed out and you clearly weren't cutting it. But I realized that with these powers I can be better than the original, than you and all other speedsters who am I, I am judge, jury and executioner I am...Godspeed" he announced as lightning crackled around him giving him a menacing look "godspeed huh well sorry to inform you but there can only be room for one speedster so am gonna have to ask you to leave" wally demanded "and if I don't'' he challenged back "I,ll just have to kick your ass and show you your place below me" "I,ll like to see you try" he sneered "wally I don't think that this is a go-" Jessie tried to explain but was cut off as wally ran toward godspeed who just stood there waiting for him "so slow" he thought disgusted at wallys speed he tilted his body to the right as wally fist was about to reach him he grabbed his hand and flipped him over he put his leg on him "how the tides have turned" he mocked "grr'' wally growled as he standing up he began throwing punches at him but he dodged it all damn it stop moving and stay still" wally yelled frustrated "ok" he replied as she stood still as wally punched his face only for his fist to be shattered upon impact argh wally wailed feeling his knuckles break holding his hand as he glared at him "what you told me to stop moving" he stated moving to his right he caught Jessie fist "I was wondering when you were going to join" he questioned looking at jesse as he threw her at wally "oof" they both grunted as they rolled on the ground you both really don't deserved to be called speedsters he said disgusted "you bastard am going to kill u" "kill me really that's very a very unheroic thing to say besides that's my line" he stated "wally we need to plan and find a way to take him down" Jessie said "tch your right we need to co-" wally was cut off as august disappeared from his spot what" wally thought as all what he could focus on was the pain he felt from his jaw as he thrown back due to the punch Jessie turned only to be kicked away from him dashing forward to the both of them he began to rain on punches to each of them breaking their ribs and jaw is that all you have" he asked disappointed as he watched them groaning on the ground only for a portal to open with a gush of ice hitting him point blank as both vibe and frost came out with frost still freezing godspeed "this should stall him" vibe said "is that so" godspeed replied to them as they had a look of shock on their face as he took frost ice head on "how" frost questioned with disbelief he looking at the new comers he shrugged " that's for me to find out and you to never know though am happy you both seemed to made it to my show, I was just about to close up the final act" he greeted kid, quick you ok frost questioned them we'll be fine wally said as vibe helped him stand while frost helped Jessie "you have caused a lot of problems so come quietly with us" vibe informed him you mean killing the guys who have giving you a hard time how about no though am sure the OG flash could have handled them easily" he explained watching their reaction he saw vibe frost and Jessie flinch and have a look of regret but they quickly steeled their expression but he saw it "seems I was right something happened to flash he's not dead that much I know" he thought he had built up this theory that something had happened to flash while he was training "well the flash isn't here and I am so am going to take you down" wally bragged arrogantly and pissed your right four against one isn't fair for you that is he stated as they had a confused look as he suddenly created 16 clones of himself "shit this is bad" both frost and vibe thought as they remembered thawne doing the same thing "now the question is should they use 10% or 20% of their powers" he pondered while looking at their pale face "20% it is" he announced with a vicious smirk not that they could see it

11 minutes later

Four figures could be seen kneeling with their suit ruined as blood dripped from it with cuts all over it "you guys seem to have lasted longer than I thought you would have but I have things to do so let's wrap this up why don't we" godspeed gloated as he absorbed as his clones back while he approached them only to stop to see this legs frozen by frost "now guys" vibe yelled as both speedsters began to run in circles "you guys are really tenacious" he sighed as he knew what they were about to do both wally and jesse had tossed their lightning bolt at him then there was a flash of light as the bolt had made contact with "him yeah we got him" jesse said looking at their area of target with a cloud of smoke blocking their view "don't celebrate yet we don't know if it hit" him vibe informed them "oh it did" august said as they saw him approaching them with the clouds parting a way for him yellow and orange lightning could be seen circling his body "thanks for the boost though it wasn't that much" he noted "y-y-you absorbed it" wally stuttered in fear yes and I have grown tired of this farce so it's time to finish the final act he said and in and instant he was in front of frost knocking her out with a punch to the gut or so it seemed but what he did was use his electrokinesis to shut down all her organs except her heart , he then proceeded to break cisco arm and then he's ribs shattering five of them as he coughed out blood from his lungs being punctured, "cisco Caitlin" wally shouted in shock but before him or jesse could act godspeed shattered his knees cap while stomping on his fibula breaking he then proceeded to break his humerus as blood spilled out with both broken bones being exposed wally screamed falling to the ground "wally" jesse cried out as she was frozen in fear as godspeed looked at her he then appeared behind her and he then punched her spine snapping it in two as she lost all feelings in her legs "I really hate hurting women but you got in my way" he stated as he raised he hand over both wally and jesse and began to drain them of their speed with them screaming it felt as though a thousand hot needles was piercing as they both lost consciousness "moreeee…. More power he said in elation feeling their speedforce energy enter his body he began to increase the out not caring if they lived or die when he was suddenly sent back by a shot to is chest looking up he saw iris and HR holding guns with a blue portal behind them "get away from them" iris screeched "or what you-" he stopped mid- sentence kneeling on the ground "shit not now" he groaned as his body felt like it was about to explode "w-w-we will continue this conversation another time and you won't be so lucky" he said and in crackle of lightning he was gone in an instant he was in his lair which was an old abandoned train station he bought using a fake alias falling to the ground with his lightning crackled around him his suit began to fade away "*cough* *cough* *cough* damn I should have expected this after all I went past my limit in using my clones" he groaned out as he struggled to stand as he made his way to his evidence board which had 3 parts one with blackhole agents and their boss craver or as he liked to call himself mirror master, the other had four pictures of a blur one with purple lightning with a picture under it. It was a teenaged girl of 19 years with American descent she has a fair face with purple and black hair and the other was pure yellow lightning with a picture under it also. It was a black woman of African American descent, who is dark chocolate and looked in her late 20s and the last one had the flash picture on it "it seems I finally know who you barry allen august says looking at Barry's picture he had begun his investigation on the flash during the month to see how he could be hone he's skills. He had found out the flash was linked to star labs so he began to investigate all the members and found out each of them was connected to Barry Allen. The barry who was wrongfully incarcerated, but his friends failed to help him and left him to rot that why he was as brutal as he was to them they deserved that when he had first met barry he had actual felt indifferent towards him despite all the gossip within the precinct though he was curious about him and began to investigate him so imagine his surprise when he found out both barry and the flash were the same person "don't worry barry I'll show those traitors true terror" he muttered with a smirk that promised pain to team flash "if you're done with your monologue I would like to tell to about what I found" a voice rang out turning to a large mirror he saw eva looking at him with an amused smile "what is it" he demanded "hm is that how you talk to person how has vital information for you and who has also been hiding you from a psychotic man" she questioned with a raised eye brow "thanks for the help" he said rolling his eyes you're welcome" she answered amused "so what did you find" "it appears craver has found out the identity and location of the last two speedsters and his preparing a strike team for elimination" "I thought we had time, well it doesn't matter who and where are they" "the American girl is Avery ho she's a student in peking university in china while the other one is meena dhawan, she's a scientist at the star labs branch in new York which was bought by silas stone a few years back but they separated from Harrison wells star labs after the particle accelerator explosion as to no bring bad rep to them" "I can only go after one of them as my clones keep causing me pain" he explained "I suggest you go after the scientist as she has more use to us than the girl besides it seems craver wants to use her as a test subject for the anti-matter bomb" "you want me to leave a child to suffer the flash won't do that" he said appalled by the very thought " as much as it pains we can only save one august besides you said it yourself the flash has been AWOL" she replied "I guess you have a point" he replied reluctantly with a sigh "so what's the game plan"
