Iris blinked as the flash of lightning had burned it's way into her eyeballs. She picked herself up off the ground, as she saw Barry on the ground not moving. Groaning as she pushed herself to her feet [i]"No..."[/i] Raising herself onto her hands and knees she started dragging herself towards him, pushing her way up onto her feet. Her body ached in protest as she pushed herself to her feet, walking towards Barry when she noticed Zoom standing opposite Barry. Anger surged through her as the speed came rushing back into her body, punching him hard in the jaw she grabbed him by the chest. "What did you do?"

Zoom just chuckled, it sent chills to her very core. There was nothing more unsettling than having an opponent laugh in your face under threat. "I made things the way they were supposed to be-" he brought his arms up and pushed out, breaking her hold on him. He pulled away as she turned to go after him. "-All my years of planning-" He ducked below a punch, which Iris over-committed to and almost tumbled. He took that time to move behind her in an attempt to grab her "-and it was almost undone-" his desire to monologue alerted her to his presence behind him, twisting on the ball of her left food she swung round with a jab that connected with him. He spat blood as he twisted with the punch, not fighting the change of direction. "-all the years-" She ducked below a blow, blocking the follow through with both her arms before her face "-all the planning-" he chuckled -"all the suffering caused."

She choked as he managed to grab her by the neck, raising her off the ground. She tried to kick him, grasp his hand but she couldn't loosen the grip he had on her. "You almost undid everything." He jabbed his arm straight through her leg, she screamed in pain as she felt it go limp. Dropping her onto her feet she fell, crumpled into the ground. 

"Why do you hate me so much?"

He laughed at that.

"I don't hate you. I hate him-" He cast his thumb in the direction of Barry. "-I hate the Flash."

"The Flash?"

"Yes, you see where I come from in history. You're just a reporter, the most famous thing you ever did was Marry the Fastest Man alive." The look of shock that crossed her face betrayed her. "Yes, where I come from the history books call you Iris West-Allen. Shame you won't live to see the wedding day, it's something spectacular." He paced as his thoughts unravelled. "I used to be obsessed with the Flash, I wanted to [i]be[/i] the Flash. I spent years on research, when destiny intervened. It gave me the uniform of the Flash, and with that I gained my speed."

She tried to pull herself to her feet as he moved closer to Barry, he merely ran at her again, placing a foot on her back to keep her chest pressed against the ground. She ground as she struggled against him. "Destiny is rarely what you think it will be though. I acted a bit heroic in my time, before discovering this ability to travel in time and you know what I learnt." He pushed down on her, leaning to get his head closer without removing his foot from her back. "It's all useless. The Flash was weak, I tried to make him stronger and he stopped me. Cast me back to my own time, and by then-" He chuckled. "-I discovered my new destiny."
