(Jin's P.O.V)
2 weeks. That's how long I had been stuck in my mindscape. I still hadn't come up with a way to free Logan from the chains and I didn't see a way to actually do it soon. The chains were unbreakable. The durability also extended to where they combined with the ground on a scale of 3 meters all around. I hadn't met something so difficult to overcome before. This head ache inducing problem took the cake though. Gods above I tried everything.
I shifted to the side and the spears of ice aimed at me passed by my body to land behind. Almost skewering me in the process.
"Stay still!"
I absentmindedly jumped back to avoid the needles of water spearing the ground before me and started cartwheeling and somersaulting back. A highly inefficient move in a real battle but sufficient enough to piss the hell out of Yuki. Yes, she was still mad at me. Honestly though, all her aggression felt like a puppy trying to be intimidating.
I snickered as she lost her cool and wantonly sent a wave of water to me. Yuki was strong. Really strong. Stronger than me when it came to hydrokinesis. However, she lacked experience in the way of applying that strength. She mostly just brute forced everything. I annoy her? Bam! instant tsunami headed my way. I say something bad about her big brother? Like a machine gun, chunks of hail start raining from the sky. I on the other hand was more into the better control end of the spectrum. Case in point, I stretched out a finger and once it made contact with the massive wall of water about to slam into me…it instantly froze. There was a moment of silence before a shrilly voice started shouting, 'no fair'.
I laughed as she continued her antics.
"Whoa! That was close."
"Really? Water tentacles?"
"You do know I can see you forming those spikes through the mist right?"
"Dragons huh? I'm kinda impressed really but I've known about that trick for days now."
I kept on taunting before Yuki decided she had had enough.
"That's. It!"
I stumbled back as the ground started shaking. Geysers of water erupted from the earth and formed into water drills at the top. I widened my eyes slightly in awe as the more than fifty water constructs converged on me. I tried to seize control of them but failed. That was when I saw Yuki was glowing blue and understood she was tapping into her domain expansion. I couldn't stop it. In that form, Yuki was the literal incarnation of water. Every drop within the vicinity was an extension of her and unlike me she had a range of miles.
I blinked away and started floating in the air as I watched her decimate my last position. I winced. No way would I want to be caught up in that attack. A cloud of vapour and dust appeared over the strike zone. The dust cleared and I was left gaping at the destruction. Small craters, the eruption points of the geysers surrounded a huge crater that was filled with puddles of water.
"What a little freak."
I shook my head. It wasn't a lie that I really was impressed this time.
A small pebble of ice formed in my palm and I threw at Yuki who was proudly looking around. Probably hoping she'd see my body parts lying around. For someone who was squeamish about blood control, she was really bloodthirsty. Especially when she got like this. The pebble hit her on the forehead. Not too hard but hard enough that she clutched her head and rubbed it in pain.
"Ow ow ow."
Did I feel guilty about bullying the little Loli? No. I am an advocate for gender equality. But those cute cheeks…I just want to pinch them.
I shuddered in fear of becoming a lover of adorable things. At this point I'll have to start kicking puppies to rid myself of this affliction.
"Hey you, destruction maniac. I'm up here."
Yuki finally spotted me and before she could fall into a litany of insults( she could curse like a sailor. Makes one wonder where she learned that from), a rumble went through my mindscape and I looked over to Yuki in confusion. What was she doing now?
I didn't expect the questioning look she threw back at me. If it's not her…?
I blinked as feeling started to return to my hands. Being in the mindscape, my senses while not muted were kind of different. For example, the kinks one usually got after sleeping or staying in one position for a long time were not present. Basically, while I could feel, it wasn't an actual body. Yuki flew over to me as I landed on the ground.
"What was that?"
She asked me totally forgetting about our spar. Though I couldn't really blame her, it wasn't the time.
I smiled over at her as I opened and closed my fingers.
"I'm waking up."
"You…are?"
I rose an eyebrow. She doesn't seem happy.
"Yeah I am. It's been long overdue if you ask me."
She turned away.
"I guess so."
A knowing look came across my face. Time to Practice my comforting skills,
"You know…I can still come here whenever I want right?"
She nodded but still refused to look at me.
"So that means…there's a chance that you can also come to the real world right?"
She instantly went stiff and rounded up on me to give me a hug.
"Oof!"
"Thank you thank you Jin!"
"All in a days work."
She giggled in happiness.
"I'm gonna go tell big brother."
With her signature move, she disappeared and I was left alone.
I sighed and a ball of water formed around me. I increased it's viscosity and melted on to it. Now that I could safely go back to my body, it was time to come up with plans. I interlocked my fingers together making for a comedic scene. Thawne had finally retaliated and if he had had the full info on my powers I was sure that I would have been in big trouble. So he had to go. I couldn't wait for the flash to defeat him. My presence had surely messed up the timeline and the chances of things going according to plan were close to zero.
I had to be better prepared for any other attacks. Not only that but I also needed allies. I wasn't stupid enough to believe that I could handle any problem coming my way easily without some help. Caitlin must have surely gotten my message. Owing to the fact that I had been gone long enough for all the hidden protocols and safeguards to activate, she must be investigating onto the validity of my words. She wouldn't be Caitlin if she took my words at face value. I was asking her to take my word over her mentor's.
Caitlin would probably come to my side after assessing that everything I had said was actually true. Barry and Cisco on the other hand would need a lot more convincing. I wasn't sure I wanted to dedicate all that effort to pull them to my side. Technically speaking, Barry would definitely be against Thawne if he came to know that he was the one responsible for his mother's death and his father's imprisonment. The question is, was his hate potent enough to work with a known criminal to catch his mother's murderer? Probably yes but it wouldn't be easy. Team Flash was all about trust and shit...I was all about the gains.
Apart from that, I needed even more power now. Someone was messing with me. Someone stupidly powerful. If he or she could prance inside my mindscape and attach a freaking pocket dimension to it, what else could he do. I was the realm master damnit! I was literally a god inside here and I didn't want to admit it but I was sort of scared. I wasn't getting stronger faster like I wanted and that had to change. I still didn't have a clue as to where Alfred was and apparently I had memories that needed unlocking to achieve my full strength. Can't believe my potential had been restricted by someone.
Apart from the fear I also possessed a fiery anger that I just wanted to unleash upon them. Outwardly I had attained the ability to hide my emotions but I was stewing inside. I only had one last slot left in Right By Conquest and I knew just what power I would use it on. Unfortunately it wasn't a power I could find in the arrowverse. So that meant hurrying up some of my plans.
So first things first, kill Thawne through the help of team Flash. secondly, try to access my restrained memories.Third, Free Logan. Fourth, create a way to travel the multiverse. Fifth, hopefully find a way to use the almost unlimited energy inside me to make myself more powerful. Six, Use the only lead I have to find whereabouts on Alfred. Seven, fuck up some crazy powerful beings for making me their play thing and Eight, become all powerful and shit. Eight steps to omnipotence. Should be easy enough.
With an audible pop, Yuki appeared in front of me looking excited.
"I told big brother that you were going to let me come with you outside and he said good luck."
She jumped around and I immediately felt exhausted at her excitement.
"Please just settle down you over-eager brat. I swear I am never introducing coffee to you."
I mumbled that last part but it seems she heard me.
"What's coffee?"
"Nothing you should concern yourself with. You ready?"
I tried to quickly change the subject. She nodded rapidly. This was a new experience for her hence the enthusiasm. So how was I going to do this? Oh that's an idea. I reached out and touched her forehead.
"I need you to fuse with me Yuki."
"Okay."
She disappeared and a rush of energy entered my body. I mentally connected with my brain and opened my eyes.
The divine water encasing me instantly withdrew and I was left staring at the deep dark blue ocean all around me. The pressure would be enough to crush a man but with my demigod physique and hydrokinesis I barely felt a thing. I was surprised to still find myself in the ocean before mentally slapping myself. The one who had been steering had been Yuki and she had zero information about the outside world.
"Yuki can you hear me?"
"Yes! This is so cool! I can feel water all around us and...oh...Jin look... behind you."
Mmh? I turned as instructed and my mouth dropped open. A huge dome of water was in front of me, covering a massive city. A massive city...that was underwater. I closed my eyes and felt the insistent feeling I had been feeling all these months point me towards the architectural marvel. Could this be... Atlantis?
