Barry didn't find it as cool as Cisco did.

In fact, he may have been disgusted by the fact that I was the X. So he decided to pick me up and throw me into one of the little prison cells they had. He said he needed to put me in a place that was safe.

"Look Barry, the past couple of weeks, I'm sure they've scared you, especially because of what I've done." I say as I press my hands up against the glass.

"You killed 6 scientists, all of whom have worked with Doctor Harrison Wells!" He exclaims, obviously pissed.

"Is that all you've collected? I must say, I'm not very impressed." I cross my arms and turn my back with a sly smile.

"You left a X on their chests." I hear Cisco's voice chime in from behind me.

"And, you targeted and tortured the last scientist, but you didn't kill her." Barry says. I nod and turn around.

"Why did I torture her?" I uncross my arms.

"For information on Dr. Wells." Cisco says quietly. Barry and Cisco share a glance.

"You knew Wells?" Barry reveals a concerned look. I laugh sadly to myself. I feel tears well up in my eye but I don't feel like crying, I just feel alone.

"He helped me become the X." I say. I hope they can't see the tears in my eyes.

"Why? You're like a hero. But not after he was gone. I mean why?" Cisco says mostly to himself. Barry shakes his head.

"Whatever he told you, it's a lie, he's-" Before he can answer I cut him off.

"The Reverse Flash." I smile. "I know. But, I don't care. I..I" I search for words. Was I about to say I loved him? I mean did I? No, I didn't...right?

"He was from the future, he was Eobard Thawne, the nemesis to the Flash." Cisco says. "He probably didn't tell you that."

I let his last few words sink in. Why did he say was? How is Harrison, or Eobard or whoever he is, from the future?

"Was?" I ask. My heart thuds as I wait for the horrible answer.

"Wells, well he um-" Before Barry can answer an alarm goes off. "I'll be back." Barry says before running off. Cisco gives me a sad look before closing the rest of the door and leaving.

"Wait!" I yell and bang on the glass but it's no use. I probably won't be able to get out of here on my own. I think about what Cisco and Barry told me. My head spins and makes me become sick.

Then I feel my body start to become weak and filled with sadness. Harrison lied to me, not only that but he can't even redeem himself.

I crawl up into ball on the small little bed seat. I feel my eyes tear up and I start to cry. My chest explodes with pain as I cry.

After some time I bring myself back together and wipe my tears. I sit up and that's when I see it. Scratch marks on the wall of the "cell." I stand up and look at them.

'Johanna' one of them reads. I furrow my eyebrows. Maybe I'm seeing things. I rub my eyes and look at it again. My name is still etched into the steel.

I look at it and see arrows pointing to things and drawings and diagrams. One of the arrows points to the seats and I see that the cushion moves up. I pry it upward and find more diagrams and drawings. I shift through them and find a handwritten note.

I put the other papers back and take the note out. I see my name written on top.

'Dear Johanna,
I know it wasn't fair of me not to tell you but most of what I didn't tell you, you already know. My name is Eobard Thawne and I am from the distant future. I was stuck here 15 years ago, on the night Barry's mother died. I didn't come back to kill her, but to kill Barry. I know it sounds horrible but when you remember what you've seen you will know. Think back to when you worked in Starling City, do you remember the experiments? You may be able to have Cisco help you remember the past that was erased from your mind. Now, the diagrams that I have given you are for a time machine. However, you're going to need to use people and objects that you love. Hopefully everything will work out alright and younger me will come back from the future to find you, but that could be years away. Make the time machine, remember your past and find me if I am lost. There is one other thing you should know. The serum I gave you did not give you powers they just enhanced your brain power by making you think the serum gave you the powers. The particle accelerator did that to you, maybe you don't remember but it did. You have agility and super strength, use it. Let the X become the superhuman you are, as fluffy as that sounds. Go get them, follow the note, and don't forget.
-Harrison Wells to you, Eobard Thawne.'

Find me if I'm lost. I look at the note and back up to the security camera that watches me in my cell.

I fold the note and put it in my pocket. I look at the door. I wonder if it is braced for super strength. I back up to the back of the cell. There isn't much room but I launch myself at the door with all my might. I hit the door and hear something break, however the door doesn't break open. My body aches but I get back to the back of the cell. I bite my lower lip and think of how Barry threw me in this cell. I feel angry bubble up inside me before launching at the door again. It breaks off and an alarm goes off.

I know Barry is probably to busy to get to me, I don't know of any other security. I grab the diagrams and hold them in my arms as I run. Luckily, Cisco was in too much of a hurry to move the cell or shut the outer door. I run down a metal hallway and find myself in the main room. Cisco and a red headed young woman stare at me in fright. They stand away from the door I came through.

"How do I get out of here?" I growl.

"Barry?" The red head says loudly, there must be a microphone. I roll my eyes and smile in a strangely evil way.

"Barry, I will kill them if you don't leave me alone." I yell out.

"You wouldn't." I hear his unsure voice come from a speaker. I quickly grab at the young woman and pull her close to me. She gives out a small yelp. I grab the first weapon I find which happens to be a butter knife, probably from someone's lunch.

"Do not test me Barry Allen." I smirk. Cisco looks at the woman. I frown at him and navigate the girl around.

"Show me how to get out. I promise I won't hurt you. I just need to get out." I whisper in her ear. She nods and points to the computer. I walk her over and watch as she presses a button.

"The lab is no longer on lock down. If you take that hallway." She points. I nod.

"Sorry but I have to do this." I frown and pull her with me. "I just need insurance."

I walk through the lab and out the door. I find a car in the parking lot. I break the window and using my internet reading skills, am able to start it. In all reality, someone left extra keys in the glove box. The girl buckles her seat belt and stares at me. I drive the car out of the parking lot.

"What's your name?" I ask.

"Caitlin." She whispers.

"Hi Caitlin, I don't want to hurt you so I won't. I just want to scare Barry away from me." I explain as I drive through alleyways and back roads.

"I thought you loved him." Caitlin says. I keep silence as I think of the answer.

"I do." I frown at my words. I drive until we come to a warehouse on the outskirts of town. It's not too far from my building but it may through Barry off. I give the keys to Caitlin.

"Au Revoir." I get out and run through the warehouse and out the back. I keep running through the industrial park.

I realize now I'm not a hero. I'm not a hero. I killed people, I've threatened and I've lied.

I'm a villain.
