The past, the reward, the new me
Since I don't feel comfortable killing my echo and taking his place, I decided that staying in my hero outfit would be best. From the moment I arrived in the past I started helping people, usually by restraining the villains. Before Barry wakes up from his come, there are several cases of meta humans which go unnoticed, so I'm stopping some. Though only the ones that could be held in normal cells, the others can't be contained yet, and I don't need to go around killing them all.
Now since I can't go home, since my echo is there, or interact with most people, my best option to to find a new hangout. I think I'll create a pocket dimension, that way I can access it anywhere and until the Thinker reveals himself, I should be safe.

Hmm, I wonder what my stats look like.
'System, show me my stats, please'
[Alfonso Allen - 24 years old
Superman physique
Average intellect
Skills:
• Infinite energy
• Space and Time control
• Instant mastery
• Elemental manipulation
• Super speed
• Superhuman durability
• Self-sustenance
Bloodlines: None
Summons: None]
Average intellect? This damn thing is insulting me, even if it is true. The only thing that makes my mind so good is Instant Mastery, without that I am just average.
When was the last time I checked the mirror? I create a mirror from ice and earth manipulation, take off my hat and mask and glance into it. I have dark brown hair, it's short but curly, and my eyebrows make me look pissed off unless I intentionally smile. I'm just kinda average, with my lips being the only thing that would draw attention, since my skin is white with a hint of golden while my lips are a natural red.
I'm shorter than Barry, though not by much, while he is 6'2 I'm 6'1, and we weigh similar about 165 pounds. While he shows of his natural athletic build, I'm skinny with no visible muscle, but no fat either. Though my body shape is hard to determine because of the trenchcoat. While my eyes are brown, almost black.

'Hey system, how do I buy stuff from the shop, and what about the gacha?'
[The shop was originally designed as an exchange, where you give your energy and in return you get items, skills, summons, ect. but because of your Infinite Energy skill, the shop is now pointless. The gacha was supposed to work in a similar way, except it takes only some energy as an investment, with the potential of giving something worth much more]
'Wait really, so this is basically a freebie to get whatever I want?'
[Because of circumstances, yes]
Well that's great, but also it's boring that I could have anything, how about a self-imposed rule. I will only buy something once a month. I guess using the gacha once a week is fine, since it could give me anything, so I kinda expect to get lots of ordinary things.
'System, show me the shop'
A list of things appeared in my mind, endless, but with a thought I could narrow the search. So I think about what I currently need to help me fix any weaknesses I have. Hehehe, I know what I need, I need an incentive to act, to stop laying around passively. I'll worry about that later, for now lets check my reward.
'system, I want my reward now'
[Quest reward chosen, you gained Time Lord bloodline]
'What does the Time Lord bloodline give me?'
[You are exceptionally hard to kill, you have 2 hearts, 3 brain stems, and have access to regeneration, along with natural sensitivity to time]
Huh, well this makes sense, I learned temporal change immunity, and now I can sense if time changes. Well, the only bad thing is, my biology hasn't changed.
'System, when will I gain the bonuses of my bloodline?'
[When you complete your first regeneration, your biology will change to accustom the new bloodline]
Well damn, unless I regenerate I'm the same, but that's also a bonus cause if I regenerate I will look different, so I won't have to hide and no one will know who I am.
'System, how do I regenerate?'
[Since you don't have the instinct yet, the only way is to force your body to the brink of death and it will regenerate itself]
So I need to be almost killed, well I'm not doing suicide and if I let Wells try to kill me, he might do test on me as well. Wait a second, when Barry first started his heroics, he didn't have a prison so the first few metas were killed, by accident. I could wear a different outfit and have a second persona, being an villain.
So I bought a dark jedi robe, and got dressed, putting my other outfit in my inventory. Once again I got time to spare, so lets practice my super speed.

With 9 months of free time, I figured out vibrating, for uses like phasing and hiding my voice/face. I also figured out how to make lightning bolts from my body, which I can then manipulate. I developed something similar to a Speed-Force aura, giving me extra protection and be able to grab people without harming them while I run. Speed mirages, which is moving fast enough that you appear in multiple places. I could do time travel or interdimensional travel, but it's easier to use my space time control to achieve that instead.
Once again today is the day Barry will awake, but this time I'll make it memorable for him. So Barry woke up like last time, and went to Jitters to talk with Iris, and when he accidentally used his speed, I appeared behind the falling server, and I stared at him. Once time resumed, I was gone, and Barry looked confused, again. I guess seeing time in slow motion for him is weird in the beginning, and seeing a man in dark robes staring at you.
While Barry deals with Mardon for the day, I'm running around the city, doing petty theft. Thousands of people lost jewelry that day, along with wallets and phones. I stole just enough to get a me on the police's radar, but not enough that I'm a priority.
Now I gotta find the best time to be almost killed, cause Mardon can't really hurt me, Multiplex even with all his clones can't hurt me much either, but when Barry fights the Mist, he has set up the pipeline as a makeshift prison. So there isn't really a good time, I guess if I don't fight back Captian Cold's gun could seriously harm me.
The only time when I could encounter Captian Cold, without Barry being there, is when he takes the diamond. Well I know where to be then.
Captain Cold breaks into the museum, and the guard runs away, not wanting to he killed.
"Hello, Snart" I say, smiling, though my face is hidden under my hood.
"Get out of the way, unless you want to die" Snart says in his cold demeanor.
"Well then I came to the right place, cause that's exactly what I need" I respond.
"So be it then", then Snart blast me with the cold gun. It isn't pleasant, feeling my lungs and heart freeze solid, before shattering inside me. I fall to the ground, then I feel my energy course through my body, I can feel my cells burn as they are reshaped into something different. Snart leaves with the diamond, to go and face Barry, while I open a portal to my pocket dimension.
I haven't yet decorated it yet, so it's just a plain room with reflective white walls, floor, and ceiling.
My energy continues to burn my cells and reshape them, I feel my blood vessels reorganize to account for my quickly growing second heart, my head throbs as 2 more brain stems are grown. There is something else though, my energy starts to flow out of my body, attempting to destroy the environment, thankfully my pocket dimension is strong and isn't affected.
When the regeneration ends, my energy recedes back into my body and a feel a new sense. I can feel the flow of time, when I focus I can see things that have happened, what are happening, and what could happen, along with things that must always happen and should never happen. All this information is too much for my mind to handle, and I pass out.

When I awaken my mind still hurts, but it has calmed to a dull pain. When I try to sense the past, present, and future again, I'm unable too, there is some kind of mental wall. I assume it's my mind attempting to protect my sanity and prevent damage to my brain.
