4.The Enemy Is My Ally? [Part 1]

Shout-out to for coming with this title, appreciate you bro

-Central City, 2049-

A small hum echoed in Erick's apartment as Imra's eyes fluttered open as she found herself laying on a soft comfortable bed with a blanket covering her body, she slowly pulled herself up as she looked around, and questioned..where's Erick?

Her feet touched the wooden floor as she got up and off the bed and made her way into his living room where he found a red rose and a paper folded in half, her curiosity got the better of her as she approached the small table and picked up the beautiful rose with a small sniff she could smell it's mesmerizing aroma

Her eyes turned down to the folded paper as it said her name on it..from Erick himself, she grabbed the paper and opened it as she began to read it to herself a bit out loud

Imra:Dear Imra..if your reading this then it means I had to do something either reckless or something important, I know doing this will have a drastic changes not just to myself but to the people around me. Just know wherever or whenever I may be; I will be thinking of you..you've shown me compassion while others have shown me hatred. You were the first person to ever trust me..

A smile slowly forms on her face as she continues to the letter

Imra:And for that I will forever be grateful to have you in my life..I wish I could be there by your side but I know your strong enough to push through this..the rose represents you, because even though the petals may fall, you can always grow them again and watch them flourish into something beautiful. Just like you Imra..I wish you the best. Yours truly..Erick..

She sets down the letter as she holds the rose in her hand and sniffs it once more, as she takes a deep breath all she can think about Erick's wellbeing..

Imra:Good luck Erick..wherever you may be..

His words were true, she knew it deep down..

-STAR Labs/Pipeline-

Barry walks over to the panel connected to the pipeline as he presses his hand against the small screen as the large metal door slowly opens, as he stands there with a calm expression as we see Red Death in one of the cells with his hands pressed up against the glass as his eyes meet Barry's

"Well..things just got out of hand, isn't that right..Flash?"

Barry:I need answers..it's only fair for me to hear your side of the story..

Red Death's helmet retracts revealing his face towards the Scarlet Speedster

"It's about time.."

Now you must be wondering..how did Erick get here? How was he captured? Well in order for you to know that..we need to go back a few hours to let you know how this all went down

-Flashback, Several Hours Before-

It had been a long day after the defeated of Devoe, or as Cisco called him: The Thinker. A celebration was in order for such a victory, Team Flash had all gathered together and celebrated in Joe West's house but their celebration was cut short was there was a knock at the door as everyone wondered who it could be? Everyone they knew was here..Barry, Iris, Cisco, Ralph, Caitlin, Joe, Cecile, Wally and baby Jenna the daughter of Cecile and Joe

Barry got up from his seat and walked over to the door as he opened it, as Nora stood outside

Nora:Hi, we need to talk

Before Barry could say anything she just walked into the house as she looked around seeing everyone

Nora:Wow..this house is bitchin

She felt a small surge of pain on her shoulder..clearly still recovering from her fight against Red Death even with the elixir her bones were still healing at a steady even with her healing factor

Caitlin:I think ive seen you before..didn't you spill coffee all over Harry and me?

Ralph:Yeah did she pay for yours? Because she paid for ours

Wally:Weren't you the server at their wedding?

Barry turns to face the mystery woman

Barry:Wait..yeah you were *looks down* where did you get this jacket?

He says gesturing towards the purple and white jacket she's currently wearing, she turns towards Iris who is coming back with another glass of champagne in her hand

Nora:Um..from her..

Iris:Um no..mine--mine is one of a kind..

Barry laughs a bit amused as he finally asks the question everyone wants to know
