41.Your Past Is My Future

[So this chapter will mainly be about Future Erick..so yeah spoilers I guess?]

Alot of things were rushing through Erick's mind, it was literally just a couple of seconds ago that he was in tbr speedforce helping out Barry and Nora with a plan to finally take dowe Cicada and now he was here in front of his future self and had been told one of the most craziest things he has ever heard

"What did you just say?"

Erick says while trying to make sure he heard his future self right

Future Erick:We both know that you heard me, your just having a harder time believing it

Erick starts to pace back and forth as his future self stops him by practically dragging him to walk with him

"H-How is that even possible? How does end up becoming the literal speedforce?!"

Future Erick keeps walking as Erick can see he isn't really answering him, he didn't know if it was because he couldn't reveal any future information or his future self being stubborn

The ten thousand year old speedster stops walking as he sighs and turns back to face his past self as he waves his hand as they hear the same screeching as the same Time Wraith appears in front of Erick

The Time Wraith holds down a captured Zoom with odd chains wrapped around him as future Erick walks over to Zoom and pulls off his cowl

Hunter:You think these chains can hold me?! I swear once I take your speed--

Future Erick snaps his fingers as Hunter Zoloman suddenly feels his own speed leave his body as future Erick holds out his hand holding Hunter's speedforce aura

Hunter:M-My speed..it's--it's gone..

Future Erick:Hunter Zoloman..I don't cherish the thought of sending you back to your time but you still have a part to play..

Future Erick kneels down and looks right at Hunter as his pupils dilated

Future Erick:You are going to forget everything and wake up back on Earth 2, you'll talk to Caitlin about wanting to do more than just rule one world..

Hunter repeats everything back to future Erick as he waves his hand again and restores Hunter's speed as future Erick orders the Time Wraith to take Hunter back to his time as a portal opens up behind them as the Time Wraith and Hunter go through it

Erick can only look on in complete shock at what he just witnessed as his future self explains

Future Erick:I can erase people's memories, it comes in handy for situations like these..I know what you are going to ask me, Erick. I am omnipresent and omnipotent..I am time itself..

Future Erick holds out his hands as Stormbreaker and Mjöllnir come flying into both of his hands as he holds out Mjöllnir for Erick to take as the young hybrid reluctantly takes it as they begin to walk straightforward

"The last time we talked is when you killed me and revealed yourself to be my future self---"

Future Erick:It have been only a short time for you but for me, our little interaction was seventy-five years ago..

Erick notices something around his future self right hand..it was a white glowing ring as his future self follows his gaze and looks down at the ring

Future Erick:The one and only White Lantern ring in all of exsistence..I use it whenever I have to, the ring doesn't come off unless I will it to..you'd be surprised how many people have tried to take it yet no one has ever succeeded

They walk up some steps and into a luxurious mansion as they step inside of the mansion where Erick's eyes widen to the point where he could've sworn he was going to pass out

Because all around them were some of the most powerful items to ever exist, some were weapons and others were just ancient artifacts; future Erick holds out his hand as a sliver shining surfboard comes over to them and hovers off the ground

Future Erick:It was a gift given to me by the former herald of Galactus, after I freed him of his servitude..he passed on his power onto me; I control the board and everything that comes with it..

The board lowers itself as Future Erick steps onto it as Erick sees it turns his future self suit to almost sliver like as they keep walking down the mansion

"I--I don't know what to say..how many of these gifts have people given you?"

Future Erick just laughs as he gestures for his past self to stop walking as blue light zips past them and slides onto future Erick's arms as he shows his past self some glowing rings wrapped around him

Future Erick:These were given to me by a friend of mine, Shang-Chi..he was one of the multi-verses best fighters; they are really powerful..but these rings are only the beginning of my gifts

Future Erick moves his hand into a circular motion as a orange sparks form into a portal as they both go through it, as Erick sees a bunch of mystical items hanging on the wall including a red floating cloak inside of a glass casing display
