**Nora Alura Allen** (born 2023) nicknamed **XS** by her mother, is a Meta-Nephilim Kryptonian hybrid speedster and a time traveler. She is the daughter of Barry Allen (commonly known as **the Flash**) and Kara Allen (commonly known as **Supergirl**), the niece of Alex Danvers (commonly known as **Sentinel**) and Oliver Queen (commonly known as the **Green Arrow**), the future daughter-in-law of Iris West and Eobard Thawne (commonly known as the **Reverse-Flash**), the future wife/girlfriend of Eric Thawne (commonly known as **the Bolt**), the girlfriend of Hope Kline, and the future sister of Bart Allen (commonly known as **Impulse**).

According to a version of Eobard Thawne from 2015, Barry's daughter was supposed to be named **Dawn**, presumably referring to Nora in the original timeline. In a previous timeline, among her early pseudonyms suggested by Lia Nelson were **Lady Flash**, **Flash Woman**, and **Femme Flash**, Thawne had nicknamed her **Little Runner**, and her cover identity during her brief time as a villainous speedster was **Jenni Ognats**.

In a previous timeline, Nora went back to the past to finally meet her father and became a part of Team Flash, along with Thawne's son, Eric Thawne, working alongside her parents and their friends. However, unbeknownst to the team at the time, and Eric, Nora was working with Thawne, who was imprisoned in 2049, on an agenda to destroy Cicada's dagger and save Barry from vanishing in a future crisis. After Team Flash defeated Cicada by administering the meta-human cure to her younger self and destroying her uncle's dagger, Nora was erased from existence once a new timeline began to set, and Eric stayed when he entered the Negative Speed Force.

## Biography

### Original multiverse

#### Previous timeline

According to Eobard Thawne, the daughter of Barry Allen and Kara Allen was supposed to be named "Dawn". Upon meeting Nora in 2015, Eobard realized that she was Barry's daughter and asked if her name was Dawn. When Nora corrected him, Thawne realized that his actions in the year 2000 had changed the timeline and inspired the Allen couple to name their daughter after Barry's late mother.

##### Early life

Nora was born to Barry Allen and Kara Allen sometime between 2019 and 2024 in Central City. She was named after her late paternal grandmother, Nora Allen.

In 2024, Barry disappeared after a battle with Reverse-Flash and never returned, leaving Nora to be raised solely by her mother. Sometime after this incident, Kara secretly had a power-dampening chip implanted in Nora to keep her inherited speedster powers hidden, also asking family and close friends to stay silent about them. As a result, Nora remained unaware of her meta-human powers.

As she grew up, Nora was given the nickname "XS" by Kara due to the former's tendency to do things in excess.

While Nora didn't remember her father, she nonetheless idolized Barry. Following his disappearance, Nora's relationship with her mother became tense as Kara struggled in the aftermath of losing Barry and refused to talk with Nora about him or their past. Nora also took much of her anger over her father not being around out on her mother. As a result, Nora spent a lot of her time in the Flash Museum, where she studied Barry's adventures.

In 2032, when she was a child, Nora visited the Hall of Villains in the Flash Museum for the first time. One of the villains mentioned was Cicada, a meta-human serial killer who both Team Flash and their allies failed to capture. Upon learning this, Nora grew very terrified of Cicada, even more so than any other villain in the museum.

One day in the 2030s, Nora ran away from her home to the Central City Police Department then to the Flash Museum. There, Nora bought a comic and an action figure of her father as the Flash. Interested, she read the comic while holding the action figure. Nora then visited the Hall of Villains section of the museum again. There, she watched a video that explained that Cicada had killed many more citizens than Zoom and the Red Death. Nora grew even more scared of Cicada. Nora's mother, Kara eventually found Nora and told her to not run away from home again, and Nora got angry at her mother, saying that she wanted to visit the Flash Museum because of her dad. Nora then dropped her action figure and then her mother picked up the toy and gave Nora a hug, saying that she loved Nora.

Nora graduated from Central City University with a 5.6 GPA and became a forensic scientist. Following in Barry's footsteps, Nora joined the CCPD, working alongside Lia Nelson.

In one case of chemical theft, the crime scene left Nora to deduce that the incident could only be caused by a speedster, when talking to Lia about her theory, Lia dismissed it as an obsession from Nora and remembered Nora's obsession with "Cicada", after Lia argued that no speedster has appeared since a devastating crisis, Nora saw Speed Force trails in her software, she went to the Flash Museum to research about the variants of the Speed Force until the curator announced that the museum was closing for the day, when Nora and Lia were investigating the case, Godspeed hit her with electricity, after being sent to a hospital, the doctors extracted the power-dampening chip her mother implanted in her, Nora discovered that she had powers and used them to try to be a superhero, but accidentally ruined the arrest of two criminals; Bug and Byte.

After searching for a way to stop a speedster, Nora decided that she needed the help of another speedster so she went to Iron Heights Prison to interrogate Eobard Thawne. Eobard was able to tell that Nora was a speedster, due to clues all over her body, but before she could ask for his help, she got interrupted by a guard. Nora and Lia resumed their investigation by breaking in Stagg Industries to find the last chemical that Godspeed needed to make V9 but he shows up shortly after they arrive and after a brief fight with Nora, he kills Lia.

A grieving Nora awaited her mother at her loft. Though Kara sympathized with her over Lia's death, Nora angrily confronted her mother over dampening her powers, briefly speeding towards her, and was further shocked to learn that all of their close friends and family were aware and sworn to secrecy at Kara's request. She then demanded to know why her own mother hated speedsters so much but Kara only said that she had lost too much and didn't want to add her daughter to that list. Nora then ran off.

Back at CCPD, Detective Frankie Curtis told her that they found Godspeed's DNA inside Stagg Industries which lead them to discover that his real name is August Heart, whom Nora recognized from the Flash Museum earlier. Returning to the museum, Nora realized Godspeed's lightning turned blue like Zoom's, before watching a video of Trajectory's death from overdosing on V9, leading her to deduce that Heart was seeking to create a permanent V9. Nora was then able to convince Eobard Thawne to use his transmitter to help her stop Godspeed, who sent her to the Tracy Brand Building to get the converter that would stabilize Godspeed's Velocity 9 serum. Godspeed shows up and Nora is able to stop him until he uses a dose of his V9 serum to remove his Power-dampening cuffs. Godspeed chases Nora through the city so Eobard tries to teach Nora how to phase but she fails and hides instead.

Eobard then came up with a plan to neutralize Godspeed's V9 by getting him to run in front of Central City Citizen Media's satellite wave. After August was arrested, Nora asks Eobard to train her but Eobard tells her that he is already on a death row. However, Eobard instructs her to search in the Time Vault in S.T.A.R. Labs to learn about her father. She finds Gideon there, who already knew her and Gideon reveals to her that her father was the Flash and showed her Barry's final message.

As a result, Nora became estranged from her mother, feeling that Kara took away her choice to be a hero like her father, Eobard began passing on his wisdom to Nora, in which she honed her powers like Barry. She became known as the "Fastest Woman Alive", a homage to her missing father.

#### Visit to the past

Thawne taught Nora how to travel through time using the Speed Force. Before her travel to the past, Thawne also taught Nora a language that he discovered so she could use it to write events of the early 21st century in her journal and to inform him about some of these events. After this, she traveled 32 years into the past to late 2017. She awkwardly greeted her father at his wedding to her mother. Nora informed him that she felt the wedding would be "one for the ages". Barry asked if they knew each other, to which Nora quickly replied that they didn't and that she was no one special. Before walking away, Nora told Barry to make sure to say "I do".

Nora reappeared sometime later in CC Jitters after the defeat of the Trickster and Prank. She excitedly paid for Ralph Dibny and Cisco Ramon's drinks while babbling intellectually about helping others, much to their confusion. Afterwards, Nora wrote in a journal, using the language that Thawne taught her.

Nora later returned to Jitters to meet Harrison Wells and Caitlin Snow, unbeknownst to them. She knocked over her Killer Frost drink at their table on purpose and immediately apologized, claiming to be nervous about an upcoming meeting with some new people. After Nora babbled about Jitters, Caitlin reassured her that it was fine and hoped her meeting goes well. As she and Harry left, Nora became serious and muttered that it did.

Nora later appeared as a delivery girl at Barry and Kara's apartment, where her Papa Joe West and Mama Cecile Horton were having their baby shower. Nora told Cecile that the baby was due in 21 days and gave her and Joe a diaper bag, claiming it was a gift from "someone who cares". After giving them the gift, Nora spotted her mother and disappeared. She then ran away at super-speed.

Afterwards, Eobard urged Nora to assist her father in destroying the S.T.A.R. Labs satellite on the day of the Enlightenment. She traveled to 2018 and altered the timeline, making sure the satellite was properly destroyed. After helping her father, Nora saved Spencer Young from falling debris. Spencer then tried to ask her for a selfie, but Nora sped off. The next day, Nora went to the West house, where Team Flash was celebrating the birth of Jenna West. Nora introduced herself to Team Flash, revealed she was Barry and Kara's daughter from the future and claimed she "made a big, big mistake".

#### Helping Team Flash

Nora mentioned that she knew everyone on Team Flash before stating that her mistake was helping to destroy the satellite, which somehow kept her from going fast enough to open a time portal and that they were the only ones who could help her. Then Eric came and joined the team. She and Eric were brought to S.T.A.R. Labs where she ran in the speed lab before awkwardly starting to talk about the future to her parents—right before they stop her. Caitlin then took a sample of Nora's and Eric's blood while Cisco put a device on her to test her connection to the Speed Force, and she continued to run in the speed lab.

A short time later, Nora ran to the Central City Police Department to see what her father was up to. Noticing how behind he was on his CSI work, she offered to help him look at the cases. Although he was doubtful, she began to work on a case, much to his annoyance. The case she had then caused Barry to bring up ice cream, which caused Nora to start describing the ice cream made at the Mason Family Ice Cream Shop in Happy Harbor, Rhode Island. They both noted that it's their favorite dessert. Right after Barry told her to not mess with the timeline, a radio then alerted them of a meta-human attack, and Nora went to Cisco's apartment and grabbed the original Flash suit for Barry to wear. She tried to tag along but was told to stay. Nora ran after him anyway with the intention to watch and excitedly sees Gridlock. Though she just decided to watch, she ended up distracting Barry, and he is sent flying into the air. Nora ran after him where he landed in the water and she expressed her apologies.

They returned to S.T.A.R. Labs and Nora believed her parents to be mad at her and begged Kara to not say disappointed. When Caitlin asked how she knew who Gridlock was, Nora talked about the Flash Museum which listed all the fights the Flash had and that she studied all of it. Nora then went with Kara to Jitters with the former commenting on how much cooler Barry's lightning bolt is than Lightning Lad's and wondering when he'll be back. Kara told her not to worry and that in the meantime, she's gonna try to get to know her daughter. Kara began asking questions about Nora and their family, with Nora revealing she's a CSI and that they don't spend a lot of family time.

Nora then asked if Cisco and Caitlin needed help and they both returned to S.T.A.R. Labs, where she was excitedly commenting on wearing the tachyon prototype Barry used to when he first met Supergirl. Barry and Nora attempted to return the latter to the future but was rejected by the wormhole, as Nora had equipped a device that harnesses negative tachyons on demand. She revealed to Barry the real reason why she returned to the past and confessed her plot, to stay in the past for a while, to be with him.

Nora later helped Barry and Wally phase an airplane that was about to crash because of Gridlock. Nora bonded with her father as days past and both became close. She somehow also became Barry's trainee for she wanted to become a great speedster like her father.

##### Meeting Cicada

She often helped Barry stop meta-humans to impress him. They both apprehended Block, a meta-human stealing high-tech weapons. When Team Flash first encountered Cicada, Barry, Ralph, and Cisco tried to stop him but he overpowered the trio. Barry was almost killed but thanks to Nora, who shouted "Dad!", seemingly affected Cicada's emotions, which stopped him from killing Barry and later disappeared.

Back at S.T.A.R. Labs, Nora explained that Cicada was never caught, not even by Green Arrow, Supergirl, the Legends, or the League. She also realized the future was altered when she helped her father destroy the satellite. Cicada's hunt for the meta-humans raged on, as he became more dangerous for Team Flash to handle for he wanted to kill Vibe. His hunt for Vibe became very threatening when he tortured Joe for the information about Vibe. At last, Vibe stood against Cicada and were both transported into a snowy forest. Barry immediately ran to aid a wounded Cisco, whose powers were dampened by Cicada's dagger.

But when Barry came close to Cicada his powers were also negated. Barry fought Cicada in hand-to-hand combat but lost again. In S.T.A.R. Labs, Nora used the speed force to figure out how to protect Cisco from Cicada. She headed to the battlefield and threw a reactor to Cisco to throw at Cicada but it reflected back to Cisco, which made a huge explosion. Fulfilled, Cicada instantly flew away, while Barry, who thought that Cisco was dead, mourned his friend's death but a minute later a breach appeared. Cisco came out of the breach, exhausted while Barry hugged him. Cisco thanked Nora for saving him from Cicada.

##### Reconciliation with Kara

Team Flash battled Spencer Young, a blogger who aspired to become famous by hypnotizing people and creating "news" for her to report. Barry and Kara assigned Nora to spy on investigate whether or not Spencer was a meta-human, but after Spencer complimented her, Nora started to flirt with her instead. Kara interrupted and subtly urged Nora to check her meta-human awareness app, which came out negative and caused Spencer to leave. Nora grew irritated when her mother still insisted she stay away from Spencer and revealed they're estranged in the future because Kara secretly implanted a power-dampening chip in Nora when she was young to suppress her superspeed, which the former didn't discover until six months ago.

Later, Spencer lured the Flash and XS to a stadium, where she hypnotized XS into trying to kill the Flash. XS tried to phase her hand through the Flash's chest but was knocked out by Kara with a speed-dampening gun. The Flash then captured Spin. Team Flash discovered Spencer's powers came from her phone, which was converted into meta-tech during the Enlightenment. Afterwards, Kara tried to apologize to Nora for what happened between them in the future, suggesting she might have had a good reason for implanting the chip. However, Nora believed that her mother only wanted to control her. Barry sided with Kara, stating that everything she does is for her family's protection. Angered and betrayed, Nora moved out of her parents' apartment and stayed with Joe, Cecile, and Jenna at the West house.

Two weeks later, Nora helped her father stop an art thief but nearly hurt some civilians by causing the thief's motorcycle to crash. When her parents scolded her for skipping out on training and being reckless in the field, Nora lashed out at her mother, claiming all she does is talk down to her from behind a desk. Nora later went home and complained to Cecile about Kara. Cecile firmly stated that Nora should respect her mother and put her to work doing household chores in exchange for stories about her father, including an adventure about Barry encountering Grodans. That night, Cecile told Nora a final story about Barry helping a boy who lost his parents eventually smile again.

Nora was deeply moved but then realized the story was actually about her mother helping her father in the aftermath of his mother's death. Cecile revealed all of the stories were about Kara and pointed out that Nora projecting her anger onto the past version of her mother is preventing her from seeing the person Kara is now. She gave Nora a scrapbook with more information on Kara. Later, Nora got an alert that her father had been kidnapped by Rag Doll and rushed to save him, only to witness Barry being pushed off a building and Kara jumping after him to unlock his power-dampening cuffs, much to her amazement. Afterwards, Nora complimented Kara on her accomplishments as a journalist and apologized for her initial harsh demeanor, making amends with her mother.

In the following week, Nora, Kara, and Sherloque come looking for the piece of the Satellite that injured Cicada and she managed to find it in water. Later that day, she went to fight Icicle with the rest of the team but was unable to fight in the cold temperatures so he got away.

The next week, she and Barry went to a Mercury Labs to retrieve a generator before it was struck by lightning as a lightning strike hitting the generator would have blown up a whole block. When Barry got struck by lightning, Kara told her to make an electrical shock to bring him back from the dead. She and Barry later went to Iron Heights Prison to investigate if Mark Mardon escaped but they were interrupted when his daughter broke in to kill Mardon. However, Barry managed to bring him to the pipeline. The next time Jackam attacked, Nora was able to save Barry from getting hit by another lightning strike. When Jackam appeared at an airport and attempted to kill civilians, Nora brought the Weather Wizard Wand so that Barry could use it to counteract Jackam's lightning. In the aftermath of Jackam's arrest, Sherloque meet up with Team Flash and revealed that the identity of Cicada was Orlin Dwyer.

##### War against Cicada and second thoughts

Later, Nora developed a plan to stop Cicada which involved time-traveling to the past to obtain necessary items to negate Cicada's dagger in the present. Despite initial reluctance to let Nora join, Barry later allowed her to do so after encouragement from Kara. First, the two traveled to Barry's final battle against Savitar in order to obtain a shard from Savitar's armor. Shortly after a Time Wraith appeared, Barry distracted it while Nora retrieved the shard. In order to obtain the Speed Force transmitter next, Nora and Barry traveled back to the day Barry lost his speed to Zoom. As Nora stayed out of sight, Barry was able to obtain the transmitter from Harry, although immediately after, Zoom appeared, having taken notice of both Barry and Nora. As the demonic speedster chased them across the city, Nora and Barry re-entered the Speed Force as Zoom followed, but were knocked aside when a Time Wraith captured Zoom, causing them to appear in an unknown time and damaging the Speed Force transmitter.

Upon realizing that they arrived in 2015, Barry and Nora went to an earlier version of Eobard Thawne to help them in repairing the transmitter, where Nora revealed to Eobard that they required it to stop Cicada in the present. Shortly after Eobard made the necessary reparations, Nora and Barry traveled to the night of the particle accelerator explosion in order to inject dark matter into the armor shard, where Barry revealed to Nora that it was Eobard who murdered his mother, much to Nora's shock as it was never mentioned in the Flash Museum. Shortly after the particle accelerator exploded and the dark matter was added into the shard, Nora and Barry went to Central City Hospital where they hid the shard in one of the structural beams, before returning to the present to face Cicada with their new weapon.

Sometime later, when Sherloque confronted Nora about the symbols in her journal, she claimed that she made them up in order to keep track of events even if the timeline changes. Nora then transmitted her latest journal entries to a mysterious individual through Gideon and traveled to Iron Heights Prison in 2049 to confront said individual: Eobard Thawne. Nora became mad at Thawne for hiding the fact that he killed her grandmother. Thawne tells her that he didn't know that she didn't know since her mother should have told her. But since Barry taught her that Thawne only helps himself, he loses Nora's trust and she runs away.

Nora than goes back to S.T.A.R. Labs and picks up her father's blue suit from the loft for Joslyn Jackam's trial and jokes about Barry wearing a green suit to relax the atmosphere before going heading to weather Jackam's trial. At the trial, she saw that Cecile was acting weird because she accidentally felt Jackam's feeling before she recommended that Jackam should get the maximum sentence. When a car theft was reported, both her and Barry went after the thief who turns out to be a meta that had the ability to disrupt dark matter which made Barry phase constantly. She managed to stable him before bringing him to S.T.A.R. Labs where he was locked in the pipeline until the dark matter effect wore off. Since Barry was unable to testify, Nora was forced to replace him as the CSI.

She managed to answer questions about Jackam until she pleads guilty. Back at the lab, she learns that Jackam never made it to prison and because the thief from earlier broke her out. She later finds Jackam who tries to convince Nora that she wasn't involved in her breakout but Nora still didn't believe her and delivered her to the police. In the speed lab, she discovers that there is no connection between Van Zandt and Jackam and she asks Barry if every criminal stays bad. Barry told her that even the worst criminals like Leonard Snart can become a hero if people see the good in them. Nora than later goes to face Silver Ghost and Weather Witch but failed to convince Joslyn that she was wrong and Raya shot a missile that knocked Nora off her feet. Killer Frost showed up to create an ice wall to stop the criminals but the car phased through the wall. With the help of Cisco, Nora went to the road where the criminals were supposed to be but unbeknownst to her, the car was invisible. Just as the car was about to run Nora over, Jackam froze the road which caused Nora to believe that not all criminals are bad.

The next week, Nora was on the crime scene of Carl Bork's murder and deduced that Cicada was on a killing spree. Later when Cicada attacked another former Meta criminal, Nora tries to save the meta, but Cicada breaks her back. She later woke up and realized that she couldn't feel her legs. After she healed, she witnessed Barry almost killing Cicada but managed to stop him by reminding him that killing wasn't what heroes do. However, during her conversation with Barry, Dwyer was able to escape.

A week later, Nora makes a journal entry and sends it to Thawne about her feeling guilty about the fact that she has lied to her parents. Later, she went to the ice rink with her parents and the rest of Team Flash. Back at S.T.A.R. Labs, Sherloque introduces the team to a Memory Machine that he created. The machine allows people to travel into other people's memories. The plan is to use the machine to travel into Grace's mind to wake her up from her coma. Fearing that a side effect of the machine will cause Barry to see her memories and find out her secret, Nora decided to travel into Grace's mind herself but gets trapped. While stuck in Grace's memories, Nora discovered that Grace knew that her uncle was Cicada and she is proud of what he is doing for her. When Grace realized that Nora was the Flash's daughter, she summoned her "brain defense mechanism" which was Cicada.

Nora was able to successfully defeat him and then tries to convince Grace to come with her but she just replied that she is a liar and summoned another version of Cicada. Her father then appears from a portal and knocked the new Cicada out of the way and saves Nora. Before Barry can talk to Grace, Nora tells him that Grace was not coming so they jump in the portal to leave her mind. Back at S.T.A.R. Labs, the team studied Nora drawing Dwyer's place and they discovered that Grace has a shard of Clifford DeVoe's satellite stuck in her head which was way Barry and Kara ended up in Nora's memories. When the team asked Nora why she went in on her own, Sherloque told the team she was protecting a secret. However, instead of revealing her actual secret, Sherloque made the team believe her secret was her painful memories about her being mad at her mother. Later, Nora went to the newly founded Central City Citizen and revealed to her parents that the future had changed and showed them that her newspaper from the future had the new founding date.

A week later, Nora was spying on Sherloque and discovered that he was closed to finding out who she was working with. Fearing that he would find out, she ran to 2049 and talked to Thawne to figure out what she could do to protect her secret. Thawne told Nora that a way to deviate Sherloque's focus on her was to help him with his love life. Nora contacted Sherloque's ex-wives to help but instead helping him, they threatened him with the debt he owns them. After the communication ended, Sherloque walked away heartbroken and Nora had to follow the next stage of Thawne's plan. Knowing the identity and history of the Earth-1 doppelgänger of his ex-wives, Nora managed to create an event in CC Jitters that caused her to meet Sherloque. After finding out Renee was a meta, Sherloque became more focused on stopping Cicada to protect her and left Nora's file for another time keeping her secret safe.

The next week, Nora was present at a meeting of Team Flash where they talk about the fact that the Meta-human cure still needed one month to finish. Barry didn't think they could wait a month so, Sherloque told him that if he brought it into the Speed Force it would be done in an hour. After her father went to the Speed Force, Nora got an emergency call from her mother who was captured by Cicada. She went with Caitlin to rescue Kara but Caitlin was killed in the rescue. Nora reversed time by an hour in order to save Caitlin. In this new timeline, she managed to convince her mother to stay at S.T.A.R. Labs so she wouldn't get captured. However, in this new timeline, Ralph got captured instead of Kara. Nora again went with Caitlin on a rescue mission and was able to save her from being killed. However, Ralph was killed instead, so Nora reversed time again. In this new timeline, she convinced both Kara and Ralph to stay at S.T.A.R. Labs but Sherloque got suspicious of her behavior. Nora then gets an alert from Sherloque who was captured.

To save Caitlin, Nora convinced Cisco to help her rescue Sherloque but he is killed, so Nora reversed time again. In this new timeline, she managed to keep all of Team Flash at S.T.A.R. Labs. However, Cecile was captured, so Nora went to rescue her alone in order to save the rest of the team. However, in her face-off against Cicada, Cecile was killed. Every time Nora faced Cicada, someone on Team Flash was killed and after reversing time 52 times, she realized she couldn't do it anymore. Nora came clean to the team about the fact that one of them always dies and that she can't prevent it. The team then agreed to help Nora defeat Cicada while preventing all of their deaths. Using Nora's knowledge of time, the team came up with a plan that involved Nora reversing time to use Cicada's dagger against him.

During the fight with Cicada, everything went as planned and Nora was able to push Cicada into his own dagger so that he got injured and then Cicada flew off. When she told Barry about what happened that day, Barry explained to her that a consequence of time travel is that no one knows what changes might occur. Nora then went back to 2049 and told Thawne that she was not sure if he can manipulate time after what her father taught her. Thawne told her that he is the only speedster who knows how to manipulate time and reminded her of the plan to destroy Cicada's dagger and save her father.

The next week Cisco told the team that the cure was finished so they decided to find a subject that would volunteer to test the cure. The team went to A.R.G.U.S. and met Lyla to see if King Shark would take the cure since he is a meta-human that doesn't want his powers. They met Tanya Lamden and they find out that now they can talk to Shay since she developed a Telepathic crown to communicate with him. When King Shark appeared and asked if the cure could help him Nora was surprised by his presence but then King Shark suddenly escaped after throwing the crown away. Nora asked Barry what they would do know and he told her they would find a new way to catch him. Nora then went with her father to S.T.A.R. Labs to see how the upgrade of the crown was going and Cisco said that it's finished and King Shark has been located so, they went after him. After they located King Shark and were unable to re-communicate with him, Barry injected him with the cure. Later, when Shay woke up, Nora asked him if he remembers when he became a shark the first time but he said he only remembers a glimpse of his life before.

Later, after Team Flash discovered Grodd took the crown, Nora informed the team that Grodd's power helped him from being located and learned from Lyla that Grodd escape due to DeVoe's satellite shutting down the power dampening device in his cell. They also learned that he controlled King Shark so that he can get an upgraded version of the crown to amplify his mental abilities and control the whole city. Later when Grodd was located, Nora and Barry went to fight him but during the fight, Grodd managed to stop her and her father from moving. Right before Grodd was about to kill them, King Shark appeared and starting fighting Grodd. Nora and her father witnessed the fight and when they managed to move again they both threw lightning strikes to free King Shark from a trap and to knock Grodd to the ground. Later, during the debrief about how Grodd is going to be contained, Nora asked if Shay is going to stay King Shark forever but doesn't get an answer.

The following week, Nora went to 2049 to tell Thawne about their progress on the cure and he informed Nora Nora that something or someone was coming to change the timeline. Nora returned to 2019 and asked Team Flash if they tried everything to locate Cicada and her parents were impressed by the energy she was using to find Cicada. Nora doubted that her father would be able to convince Dwyer to take the cure but he said he would figure it out. Later at CC Jitters, Nora got excited when she learned that she has her own drink but was interrupted by a meta attack. She and Barry went to confront the meta who but he escaped. However, Nora recognized the acid burn marks from the picture of the final confrontation between the Flash and Cicada and told her father that today is the day he stopped Cicada. At S.T.A.R. Labs, she revealed that Master must have been present during the final confrontation. Nora was then told by Kara that she could go back to her timeline if Cicada was defeated today which made her panic since she wants to stay with her family.

Later, she tried to help Barry with how he was going to convince Cicada to take the cure by citing some examples where he has changed people's hearts. Later, she heard her father talking to Cicada during their confrontation but she was upset about the fact that Cicada doesn't care about his legacy since thought that was their only shot at stopping him. Later, Kara tried to spend a lot of time with Nora since she will have to return to 2049 if they stop Cicada. Nora told Kara that she regrets how much time she has spent focusing on stopping Cicada rather than spending that time with her family. When Barry confronted Dwyer a second time, he was able to convince him to take the cure by revealing to him that Grace was a meta. While Dr. Ambres, Cisco, and Caitlin were administering the cure, Nora was in the lounge with Sherloque and Cecile. Sherloque asked Nora how she knew about the newspaper but the power got shut off and they were attacked by another Cicada. After the attack, Nora wondered how it was possible that another Cicada was there.

#### Secret exposed

Nora went to 2049 to confront Thawne because he was supposed to know what he was doing but he admitted that he was wrong and that he failed to stop Cicada. Since he didn't have enough time left, he told Nora that she should tell Barry everything. Back in 2019 at the Central City Hospital, while investigating the new Cicada, Barry asked her if everything was okay but she said that she doesn't know what to do. Later that day, Team Flash detected that a Time Sphere was in Kolins Woods so, Nora, Barry, Sherloque, and Cisco went to investigate. After they determined it was the same one from the S.T.A.R. Labs archives, they concluded that the new Cicada was from the future.

The next day, while investigating the murder of a police officer that was killed by the new Cicada, Nora told Joe and Cecile about the fact that the new Cicada was from the future and Barry reveals that there is a stolen case file from 2017. Nora and Barry later went to the crime scene of the missing file with Cisco and he vibed that the meta responsible for the crime killed Grace Gibbons mother and father. Nora then revealed that when she was in Grace's mind, Grace saw herself dressed as Cicada which led them to the conclusion that Grace was the new Cicada. Nora, Barry, and Joe then went to a birthday party to meet Vickie Bolen, who was the one responsible for the death of Grace Gibbon's parents. They interrogated Vickie who told them that she didn't know anything about their deaths and that her family didn't know that she was a meta. Nora then had a vision that Grace was just outside the birthday party. Nora and Barry distracted the children and tried to evacuate the Bolen family but Grace attacked them.

She managed to incapacitate Nora and Barry but Vickie managed to use her power to incapacitate Cicada so that they could get out. At the Central City Hospital, Nora and Cecile felt Grace's presence but they were too late as Cicada's dagger broke through the window and took Nora's speed. However, Barry managed to save Vickie. When Nora got her powers back, she took Vickie away while Barry confronted Cicada. Later, after Orlin's death, she was about to tell the team her secret but Sherloque entered and exposed her secret to Team Flash. Sherloque explained everything about Thawne and the fact that she manipulated them which made Barry angry when he realized that it was true. Nora was then locked up by Barry in the pipeline. Nora told him that she was sorry but Barry ignored her and walked away.

After Team Flash read her journal, Kara opened her cell because she understood that the loss of Lia made her vulnerable to Thawne and she told her to not make her regret what she was doing. Nora then went to see Team Flash to explain the full story about how she came in contact with Thawne. When she finished, she told Barry that she just wanted to see him in case he wasn't able to stop Cicada. He told her he understood why she went back in time but didn't understand why she kept getting Thawne's help, especially after she learned what he did, and already had Team Flash to help her. With Nora betraying his trust, Barry sent her back to 2049, warning her that if she attempted to return to 2019, he would know as he would sense disturbances in the Speed Force. Barry then ran back to the present, leaving behind a shocked and tearful Nora.

Later, Nora was sitting next to Thawne's cell wondering how she could see Barry again after what he told her. Then Nora realized that Thawne had time-traveled before without Barry knowing and asked him how that was possible. Thawne didn't want to tell her but Nora insisted so he revealed that he created his own Speed Force called the Negative Speed Force. He warned her about all the negative effects that it had but Nora still wanted to use it. When Nora first tried to use the Negative Speed Force she failed and Thawne just assumed that she didn't have enough hatred to access it.

While Nora was talking to Thawne, Kara arrived and told her to step away from him. Nora was surprised that she as there and she told her that she was there to help. Nora wondered where Barry was and when Kara told her that he wasn't there, Nora got angry. During their argument, Nora began succumbing to her anger, worrying Thawne, and tapped into the Negative Speed Force. As she ran into it, she started to feel its negative effects and remembered the worst moments of her life as she attempted to return to 2019. After exiting the negative Speed Force, reaching 2019, Nora's eyes began to glow red.

#### Return to 2019

After Nora returned to 2019, she infiltrated McCulloch Technologies's server room and scanned the building's blueprints. In a warehouse in Keystone City, she met up with Peter Merkel, Joslyn Jackam, and Brie Larvan and convinced them to help her steal weapons from McCulloch Tech to sell on the Black Market. The first step of their plan was to retrieve Spencer Young's phone from the S.T.A.R. Labs archives and kidnap Cisco. During the operation, Nora managed to retrieve the phone but was confronted by Barry. During their confrontation, Barry expressed deep regret and apologized for abandoning Nora, although Nora declined his apologies and snapped, thinking Barry had stopped loving her, causing her eyes to glow red.

She then used the Negative Speed Force to throw lightning at Barry, which allowed her to escape. Back at the warehouse, she asked Cisco to hack the phone but since Cisco didn't take her request seriously, she threatened him by phasing her hand through his chest which convinced him to do it. Later, Joslyn complained about their weird made up names but Nora insisted that they have to trust her. Joslyn then revealed that she knew Nora's identity from the day of her trial. While they were talking about the baggage they had with their families, Cisco informed them that he had finished hacking the phone and gave it to Nora. She then gave it to Brie and told Joslyn to tie Cisco back up. The Young Rogues then began their heist at McCulloch Tech. They infiltrated the building as visitors and once they located the Forge, they knocked out all the guards.

They entered the Forge but before they stole anything, the Young Rogues betrayed Nora and tied her to chair along with all of the guards. They then sent a message to the city saying the Flash had to come to them and reveal his identity soon or they would kill all of the hostages. The Flash arrived but it was later revealed that is was actually Sherloque using VR technology. Nora was then surprised when some of the hostages were revealed to be Team Flash with facial transmogrification devices. While Kara and Joe secured the actual hostages and fought Peter, Nora was saved from a lightning strike by Barry who jumped in front her. The lightning strike miraculously bounced off him and hit the power dampener in the Forge which allowed him and Nora to stop Brie and Joslyn.

In the aftermath, Nora was confronted by her parents at S.T.A.R. Labs about the fact that creating the Young Rogues wasn't a great idea and she should have come to them for help. However, Nora revealed that she created the Young Rogues in order to steal a Mirror gun that they could use to destroy Cicada's dagger. Barry decided that they should use the gun to stop Cicada and welcomed Nora back to the team. Later, it was revealed that Cicada planned to spread a virus across the city that would kill all Meta-humans.

Later, the team talked about the effects of the Cryo-Atomizer (the device that would serve as a way to infect the city with the virus) and they also talked about why Nora still had Red Lightning. However, she said that she was fine since she didn't feel any negative emotion. Later, the team received a distress call from Sherloque whose girlfriend was attacked by Cicada so Nora ran with Barry to stop her. However, Cicada was able to see what Nora saw so she flew away to avoid the lightning strikes. Sometime later at the crime scene, Nora and Barry figured out that Cicada planned to use her dagger to spread the virus and Nora told her parent that she could see what Cicada saw and conclude that they could use that power to stop her. Back at S.T.A.R. Labs, Nora told the team that she knew where is the last part of Cicada's virus was, Ollins Laboratories.

Before Barry took off, he told her to stay away because her connection to Cicada could compromise the mission. Later, Nora vibrated her body so fast that no one could see her so she could overhear a conversation where Ralph theorized the timeline of Cicada and pointed out the fact that something didn't add up about the dagger. Nora then went to Cisco's workshop to get the Cerebral inhibitor to try to access Cicada's mind but she was stopped by her parents who talked her out of it. However, they eventually agreed to let her try but only if she did it in the trap that the team used to stop Eobard Thawne so everyone would be safe. Nora then confronted Grace in her mind and discovered that she was headed to CCPD where all the metas that were taking the cure were. Nora wanted to go with Barry he still told her to stay behind. So she, Kara, and Sherloque stayed behind at S.T.A.R. Labs and helped Cisco to deactivate the virus.

When Ralph was brought back to S.T.A.R. Labs after interfering with the Mirror Gun blast, Nora asked the team how they could "fix him" so they could ask him why he interfered. At CCPD, Barry and Cisco found a piece of wood that they figured out was from Cicada's Lair. Back at S.T.A.R. Labs, Sherloque solved the mystery of Ralph's interference and concluded that Thawne's plan involved him avoiding his execution by getting Nora to destroy Cicada's dagger. Nora got upset about the fact that Thawne had manipulated her from the beginning so, Barry taught her about the consequences of making mistakes.

Later, the team found Grace's cabin and they found a way to breach and trap her at S.T.A.R. Labs while Nora connected herself to young Grace's mind to try to convince her to take the cure. After a good version of her uncle appeared in her mind, Grace agreed to take the cure. However, the shard in her head helped counter the cure which allowed her future self to escape her containment at S.T.A.R. Labs and defeat every member of the team in the cabin. Cicada was about to kill Nora but Cisco breached the Mirror Gun to Barry and he used it to transport Cicada's dagger to the Mirrorverse. Moments later, Grace was cured and her future self was erased from existence.

#### Ceasing to exist

"*Thank you, for everything.*"
—Nora to Barry and Kara before being erased from existence[src]
After Team Flash destroyed Cicada's dagger, Nora and Barry went to 2049 to try to stop Thawne but he had already escaped. The three began to fight and Thawne had the upper hand until Team Flash arrived and crashed into him with the Time Sphere. Nora was about to kill Thawne but before she could, her hands began to glow. The team realized that since they created a new timeline when they destroyed Cicada's dagger, Nora's timeline no longer existed so she was being erased from existence. Thawne told Barry that Nora could be saved if she ran into the Negative Speed Force. However, Nora chose not to do that since she knew the Negative Speed Force had begun to make her more like Thawne and that wasn't who she wanted to be. She accepted her fate and faded away after embracing her devastated parents for the last time. Unlike her, her boyfriend, Eric Thawne Survived when her dad, Barry told him to go into the Negative Speed Force so they didn't lose him like Nora.
