Now it was just a matter of practicing and waiting. I couldn't eat the first Weather Wizard, but the second one, I should definitely catch it. If I could eat it, I would finally have my first attack ability. I was excited, after all, this power had great potential. From what I remembered, the second brother was able to develop powers even more than the first, or maybe he was just more exposed to black matter, I'm not sure.... Anyway, it's worth taking his power, it would be very useful, especially in battles with a lot of people. And of course I wanted to test his ability to fly, he was able to control the wind, maybe he could do it. I'm not sure though, the ability I'll get will be a bit weakened compared to the original.
Also, there's a Faceless One that's gonna show up, too, so don't forget that. The ability to change your appearance is amazing. If I get my hands on it, I can do a lot of things. I think it's just as useful as teleportation. There's plenty of work to be done, and I'll be even stronger, but for now, I should have waited to get out of town.

Events were moving pretty fast. I was going to Starling for a few days to avoid a nuclear explosion. There was no telling what might happen there, so I decided not to take any chances and live in another city.
In Starling, everything was the same as always, but Oliver was temporarily gone because it turned out that he was killed by Ras Al Ghul. Of course I know he's alive, but the Arrow crew thinks otherwise. Well, that's their business, I don't usually follow them. I'm more interested in the Star Labs guys and the meth people. Let them mind their own business, if they had some meta I might get involved.
Anyway, I lived here for a short time, hunted a little like the good old days, and went back to Central City. Didn't interfere with anyone's business, just rested and practiced. I've already killed a lot of criminals, so maybe my quiet life will be over soon. And my hunger was shortened again after absorbing Pikabu's power, so instead of four days, it was now just over three days. I'm getting more and more stressed, but I can't stop my power from growing. Something has to be done about it, or it's going to get worse. Right now, Flash is quiet and acting like a child, admiring Welsh and settling into his personal life. Soon the rose-colored glasses will have to come off, and maybe then he'll decide to choose not the lesser evil, but the greater, which is me, just a ban in Star Labs. I think it's too late though, his powers may not be enough, but if he teams up with someone else, there could be trouble. Wells doesn't want to put the guy in front of such a moral choice, I don't know why, but that's good enough for me. With Barry Allen's excessive righteousness, there's bound to come a time when they'll want to harass me. I may have information about the identities of all the characters under the masks, but it's not an absolute weapon, it'll work, but probably not for long. I'm not going to rely on others, so I'm going to devour as much as I can.

After a while, I got better at it, and even got used to a quiet life. But of course it wouldn't last long in this world... Even though everything went according to plan, Rani and Stein split up, then reunited and left the city. Flash's team is already suspicious of Wells, not all of them, of course. Only the brightest of them is Cisco. Joe West really has some superpowers, his instincts are amazing. He realized that Wells was involved in the murder of Barry's mother, not only relying on weak evidence, but largely due to his instincts. Of course he later discarded those hunches, but he was so close....
But none of that mattered, what really mattered was the Weather Wizard. He finally appeared, and I was glad to see him, because he had been sitting in his den for a while. I didn't catch him right away, he wasn't an easy character, so I waited for the best moment to attack. Barry was with Iris, and Joe had gone in search of Mardon. It was then that I began to follow the detective and wait. The bait would get to the Weather Wizard, and then I'd grab him. I wanted him alive, but I wasn't sure of the effectiveness of the sleeping pills or the effectiveness of the stun gun. So I took the easy way out, a good whack on the head, which I was strong enough to do.
As soon as Mardon knocked Joe out, he carried him to the embankment nearby, and I followed. The teleportation made life much better, and I arrived quickly at the place where Wayst was being tied up.
I waited, not only to get Mardon, but also to help Joe. If he was conscious and saw who'd saved him, he'd owe me, and that wouldn't be so bad.....
It didn't take long to wait, after an hour Mardon started his grand plan of revenge and began to raise a huge tsunami and then Flash began to stop it using his speed. The Weather Wizard was focused and could not be distracted, this was the best moment to attack....
*♪ Vzhzhzh ♪ ♪ Shoo ♪ ♪ Shoo ♪
After a few short teleportations, I appeared behind Mardon's back, and because of the thunder and wave noise, he didn't even hear me, but Joe was visibly taken aback by my appearance.
I looked at him and put my finger over the mouth of the mask. Then I turned to Mardon and took a good swing....
*♪ Bam! ♪
One blow and the great Weather Wizard lost consciousness. But unfortunately the wave wasn't stopping anymore, now it was Barry's time. I turned to Joe and said:
«Flash will handle it and get your ass out, and Mardon will pay a big price for that cop. Well, cheers... - I waved to West and threw the wizard on my shoulder, then started to teleport quickly back to my base.
After a few dozen teleportations, I arrived home. But when I finally decided to relax, I felt a strange sensation, my whole body began to shake, and my head was splitting. I tried to understand what was going on, I tried many options, and then suddenly I remembered a very important detail.... Flash! Damn it! The future is changing, how could I forget!
I was shaking terribly, it felt like my whole body was tearing up, and then, it stopped.
I was sitting on the couch reading a book just like yesterday, the time was the same, ten o'clock. It was exactly the same as then.... What's this nonsense, why do I remember what happens? Okay Barry, he's the one who set it up after all, his memory should have survived, but mine... What's the reason? Is it my rebirth? Or is it another unique feature of my body? No, it's just crazy, how can I explain it?
