Enjoy this chapter and the twist I have in store.


Anna's POV

"Are we sure we should do this?" I question everyone.

"Anna this is our shot. We have to take it. With the Sonic Scepter, we can beat DeVoe." Iris reassures me.

"Well, I'm going with you..."

"No." Barry interrupts me. "We need you to stay back just in case something goes wrong. You alone can protect everyone here if something happens to us. We need you to stay here."

"And leave you three stranded in DeVoe's pocket dimension?"

"If it has to come to that." Barry answers.

"That is not okay with me."

"Guys we don't have much time. We have to do this now." Harry says I hug my family one more time.

"You three better come back unharmed." I order them.

"We'll see you in fifteen." Cisco assures me. Harry hands over the Sonic Scepter.

"Open it." Barry instructs Edwin.

"You got it, mega-fast dude."

"If we don't come out with DeVoe in cuffs, close it. Don't open it again." Barry instructs us. Cisco, Caitlin and he walk through the pocket dimension and nothing feels like it's going to be the same. Alarms start to sound and doors begin to lock.

"What's happening?" Joe asks us as I quickly look to find out what's happening.

"Someone's taken over our systems and sealed us in." Harry informs.

"And not just that. A second pocket dimension opened in S.T.A.R. Labs at the exact same time as ours." I explain.

"It's DeVoe." Iris states.

"Damnit!" I yell in frustration.

"He used that first opening to conceal his own entrance. That's why our sensors didn't register." Harry explains.

"This was all a part of his plan. The samuroid attack, us getting Edwin, using him to attack DeVoe's lair." Iris exclaims.

"He wanted us divided." Damian chimes in.

"Where did Edwin go?" Joe asks.

"He's back locked in his cell, and we got DeVoe's pocket dimension energy coming from the cortex." Harry explains.

"That must be where his chair is. I mean if we can get to it, we can use it to get our team back." Iris figures out.

"First, we gotta get ourselves out of here." Joe exclaims. "Harry, can you unhack his code?"

"Trying but it's too complex. If I had my quantum decryption keys, I could do it, but they're stuck in Cisco's workshop."

"I will even admit this is tough for me to hack." Damian adds.

"But we're not stuck in here." I point out to everyone with my eyes glowing purple. Using my powers I pry the doors wide open sending them crashing to the wall outside. We rush out but stop as we see another Samauri robot.

"Get back. Get back." Joe orders us. "Harry, go get your equipment..."

"I'll go and hack the computers." Harry rushes off.

"Joseph and I got this." Damian pulls out his sword.

"Iris, you get to that chair." I order.

"What are you going to do?" She asks me.
