Chapter 14: Rogue Time (and the Prank That Changed Everything)
"Okay, so, this is weird," Adam muttered, watching Barry Allen, who was now acting strangely prescient, knowing things he shouldn't. "It's like he's got my cheat sheet. Except he doesn't know he has it. Or that I have the master copy. This is going to be fun. Or incredibly annoying. Probably both."
Jisoo, who was meticulously organizing the S.T.A.R. Labs snack drawer (a task she took with utmost seriousness), looked up. "He seems… confused. Like a very fast puppy who lost his ball."
"He's dealing with the ethical implications of time travel," Adam explained, waving a dismissive hand. "You know, 'butterfly effect,' 'paradoxes,' 'don't step on a butterfly or your future self will be a potato.' Standard stuff." He grinned. "Time to subtly nudge things. And maybe cause a little chaos."
The return of Captain Cold and Heat Wave, planning to kidnap Iris, provided the perfect opportunity. Adam knew exactly what was going to happen.
"System," Adam thought, a mischievous glint in his eye. "Major Wish: 'Elemental Swap.' Target: Captain Cold's gun and Heat Wave's flamethrower. Make them switch effects. Temporarily. Preferably when they're aiming at each other. Again."
[SYSTEM MESSAGE]: Major Wish 'Elemental Swap' Used. Cost: 50 Days. Current Wish Balance: 261 Days. Rogues' frustration: Extreme. Host's amusement: Peak.
Just as Snart and Rory were about to grab Iris, their weapons, with a familiar whoosh, swapped effects. Snart blasted Rory with fire, and Rory blasted Snart with ice. They shrieked, turning on each other in a chaotic, comical brawl.
"You idiot! You froze me!" Rory yelled, covered in ice.
"You burned me, you moron!" Snart roared, his face singed.
Barry, who had been about to intervene, paused, staring at the scene. "Did… did that just happen again?"
Cisco, who had witnessed the original incident, burst out laughing. "It's a classic! Never gets old!"
Adam simply nodded, a picture of smug satisfaction. "Some things are just too good to only happen once. And that, my friends, is why I'm the Snack King."
Later, Adam saw Eddie Thawne, looking incredibly stressed, rehearsing a marriage proposal to Iris. "Oh, Eddie. Bless your earnest heart. Time for a little cosmic intervention."
"Detective Thawne," Adam said, sidling up to him. "You look like you're about to defuse a bomb. Or propose. Which, let's be honest, is basically the same thing."
Eddie jumped, startled. "Adam! I… I'm just trying to make sure everything's perfect for Iris."
"And it should be," Adam said. "Which is why I'm offering a 'Perfect Proposal' wish. Ensures no awkward stumbles, no dropped rings, no sudden villain attacks. Just pure, unadulterated romance. For, say, two hundred days. A small price for eternal marital bliss."
Eddie, desperate for a flawless proposal, stared at him. "Two hundred days? What even are Wish Days?"
"Think of it as an investment in your future happiness," Adam shrugged. "No refunds. But guaranteed perfection."
Eddie, overwhelmed by nerves, finally nodded. "Fine. Just… make it perfect."
[SYSTEM MESSAGE]: Wish Trade initiated. Customer: Eddie Thawne. Wish: Perfect Proposal. System Estimate: 50 Days. Host Proposed Trade: 200 Days. Profit: 150 Days. Customer agreed. Wish granted. Current Wish Balance: 411 Days.
The next day, Eddie's proposal to Iris went off without a hitch. It was sweet, heartfelt, and utterly perfect. Iris said yes, beaming.
Jisoo, who had been subtly encouraging Iris to follow her heart, smiled. "Love is a good song. Even when it's a bit… complicated."
Adam watched, a satisfied grin on his face. "Four hundred and eleven days. This business is booming. And I just helped a canon character get engaged. My life is officially a rom-com with explosions."
