6. I Hate When Speedsters Kidnap People

Anna sighed as Barry explained something about levels as multiple beeps came from the tablet he was holding. She looked around the small, rundown medical hospital as they studied. Cisco has agreed to try again to open a portal, so Barry explained to do it where the trans-demential energy was the highest. Anna muttered something about the house being creepy as the boys talked about the portal. Cisco took his position in the center of the room as Anna stood beside him, he held his hands out, then clenched his hands. Anna started to create the ball of energy, heating up herself. Cisco put his hand down and Anna dismissed the energy.

"What?"

"I can't do it." Cisco replied.

"That's right. You can't." Wells walked into the room.

"What are you doing here? You said..." Barry trailed off.

"I know what I said. But you're not gonna stop, are you?" Wells answered.

"No."

"Okay, Barry Allen, then I'm gonna do what I can to make sure you don't get killed. I recalibrated these to the electromagnetic frequency of this Earth. It should help you access enough of the trans-dimensional energy to manipulate it." Wells explained as Cisco said a snarky comment and Harry threw him the goggles, which he put on and raised his clenched fist. Anna created the ball of electricity once again, and it enveloped Cisco's hand, turning to blue mist. The mist started to grow bigger, and humming came from it. It grew bigger and bigger, but Cisco suddenly stopped.

"Hey, what... what happened? You were doing it." Barry asked, confused.

"No, no, no, no. I-I can't do this." Cisco pushed the goggles away and into Barry's hands.

"What?"

"Don't. Please, don't ask me to do this. Please." Cisco ran out of the room.

"It's your tachyon absorption enhancer upgrade. Retrofitted from when it was used to steal your speed, to now give you more of it. Almost done." Wells explained as he worked on a small device. Barry, Caitlin and Anna were crowded around him.

"That's amazing. Thank you." Barry said.

"You're welcome."

"Is Cisco back yet? Have we seen him?" Barry questioned. Cisco still hadn't been seen since he ran out of the room when he was creating the portal.

"I haven't seen him. Check his workshop." Wells didn't look up from his project.

"Ok, I'm gonna go get Big Belly Burger while your at it." Anna said as all three of them moved out of the lab and bumped into Iris and Joe.

"Hey. We just came by to see if you guys needed some help." Iris explained.

"Oh."

"Uh, sure. Yeah. We can always use an extra set of hands. Do you want to help me in the med bay?" Caitlin motioned to the Medbay as they both moved out.

"So this...This whole Wally thing...He won't let me help him." Joe said as the 2 girls walked away.

"It's probably 'cause you're not offering the right kind of help. Wally doesn't want your help paying for a place to live. He wants you to offer him a place to live." Barry explained as Anna looked towards Caitlin, tuning out their conversation and listening into theirs and reading their lips.

"Everything seems to be pointing in that direction."

"Do you believe in destiny, Caitlin?"

"Maybe for you." Caitlin glanced towards Anna and she quickly turned away, turning red and speed walking out the door. She mumbled something about pizza and kept turning the shade of an onion.
