Chapter 22: Back To The Future.... And Ahead

<2050>

A portal opens up as the two speedsters come running out of it as their feet skid against the ground as they come to a screeching hault

Speed Demon's mask dematerializes as Henry looks around seeing that he and his sister were in Star City but something was wrong

It looked different to the one he had visited the last time..though it was understandable given the last time he was here was a few years before 2050 but even so, Star City looked like even more crap than before

He turns to look at Emily as she took her mask off

Henry: Okay, we need to figure out what happens.

He says as he taps his gauntlet as the newspaper article of their mothers death shows up showing that today was the day their mother died but that was what they needed to figure out..exactly how that happened

But still something lingered in Emily's mind

Emily: So, our mother took your dads last name, right?

Henry: Yeah.

That didn't sit well with Emily...considering she'd never heard the last name "Allen." until she discovered Henry

Emily: That doesn't make sense though. I always knew her as Annabelle Thawne. So shouldn't Gideon have been able to find her?

Henry wasn't sure why Gideon wasn't able to track Annabelle in the timeline with her real name, she clearly still existed otherwise he and Emily wouldn't even be alive but seeing as how Gideon wasn't able to find any references to her made him aware that something was wrong

But he couldn't worry about Gideon right now, his main objective was finding out what happened to Annabelle

Henry: Let's not worry about Gideon right now. This newspaper article says she was killed here in Star City but it doesn't give an address. So in order to know what happened, we need to find her and luckily I know someone who can help.

Henry starts walking as Emily follows him and something came to mind

Emily: So if we're here to find out what happened to mom, why didn't we come here before she died. Why'd we come here after?

Henry stops and turns to her as he answers her question

Henry: She never explained to you, the dangers of time travel did she?

Emily shakes her head "no" as Henry groans out clearly annoyed that she was never taught anything about being a speedster

Henry: Okay. Great, now I gotta be the one to explain it. Look short version. Whenever you mess with time, it tends to mess back. So to come here before her death, and get involved would change who knows how much. It could destroy the timeline in ways that can only be described as chaos. Make sense?

Emily nods in understanding as Henry turns and starts walking as he whispers something to himself that she couldn't hear

Henry: (Whispers) I would know.

But now Emily wondered where exactly they were going...Henry said he knows someone so she was curious as to exactly who he knew

Emily walks side by side Henry as the two walk..she wondered why they weren't running, they did have speed but maybe it's because Henry just walked to walk

But still Emily questioned who they were going to see

Emily: Who exactly is gonna be able to help us?

Henry didn't even bother to answer her question cause truth was..he didn't even know if she'd be able to help..it was 2050 and a lot could've happened in the last few years, that was the thing about time travel; just because you time travel doesn't mean time stops..it keeps moving forwards
