As I was walking in my dorm room after exhausting myself, I felt the time around me slowing down. It was the same feeling that I feel whenever my mother comes to visit me. However, this one was different... The Speed Force energy around me felt like my own.

"Hello Ray, we meet again... I am sorry to do this but this is an emergency so you might be able to hear my words and process it in your brain, however you won't be able to move your body," Holborn explained, appearing in front of me out of nowhere. "You won't be able to do this right now but don't give up, acquiring the Still Force took me ten years, you are not that far."

He had sped up my eyes, ears and brain to process his words while keeping the rest of my body slowed down.

"I am going on a mission, a dangerous one and when I return... I might not be the same 'me'," Holborn continued. "Don't try to find me. I am about to fight someone who won't kill me. For he is a hero, a true hero... Wellll by his terms. He will make me kill myself, god I hate him so much... Until then however, I still have time. YOU still have time. So, forget whatever I said to you about not being a hero and act like one for a short while. By a short while I mean until Roger's death anniversary arrives."

"I would make a plan to counter him but he got Steve, without him this timeline would collapse. I can't let that happen," Holborn's craked voice brightened up all of a sudden as he continued. "But see it as a chance! You will have so much to learn from him! Maybe even see the world in a different perspective... Don't fall for his trap though. I'd say he is a better manipulator than me, way better. Hell he can make a baby stop crying with a single gesture, always wanted to know how he did that. Not that I am singing praises for him but be careful. He is the man who stopped the Armageddon single handedly. He made the demons turn on themselves, even their king wasn't safe from him."

"Now your question would be, "Is there a way to stop him?" and my answer would be... Well... Try to trap him inside a prison with no atoms."

Is he insane? First he tells me, he is going to get imprisoned possibly by a version of us. Then he goes on and on singing praises about him and tells me to act like a hero. Then he tells me to put a guy who stopped the Armageddon single handedly inside a non atomic prison?! A NON ATOMIC PRISON?! THAT DOESN'T EVEN MAKE ANY SENSE?!

"Blimey, look at how the time has passed. I suppose this is a goodbye..." Holborn walked closer towards me and wispered something in my ear while putting something in my coat.

Okay, I take it back. He has every reason to freak out like that.

"Don't be upset... This goodbye isn't permanent... Well might be... But! I will try to pull through. This is just... Till our next communion," Holborn slowly walked away from me turning the time back to how it was.

At that moment... I seemed to have given up my hate for him... I don't know why but... I can't hate him anymore. He is a cold blooded murderer who destroyed his timeline... SO WHY?! TELL ME WHY I CAN'T HATE HIM ANYMORE?!

"Wally," I called out, trying to stay calm. "Create an electromagnetic barrier, overlap it with a sound barrier."

"It's going to be a painful process... God I am bad at keeping promises... Begin the information transmission."

Forest of Life

------------

In the midst of the Forest of Life, a young woman with long red hair and yellow eyes wearing a white suit with a lab coat on top was confronting Holborn. Behind the girl was a colony of ants carrying a body wrapped up in spider silk.

"I am sorry for being late, can I speak with your boss right about now? Hm? I don't think we should make him wait any longer," Holborn said.

The young lady moved aside revealing a white door that was floating in the air. Nothing on the other side could be seen from this end of the door. It's as if it was a gap that led beyond space itself.

"You know you can just walk away from all of this and I will act like it never happened," Holborn stated while walking towards the white door with a smile on his face. "I won't hold you accountable Risa Allen."

"The Doctor shall see you now," Risa answered with an indifferent face to which Holborn sighed.

'This is why I hate children,' Holborn thought.
