Caitlin, HR and Mon surrounded Cisco, who was at a computer, looking through the Jitters footage of a woman the night before. "So this is the footage from Jitters that should help us ID our new meta," Cisco said.

"Brunette? That really narrows it down," Caitlin said sarcastically.

"Mm, I'll clean that up," Cisco said as Mon looked over at a nearby screen to see the same woman from the footage, but she was creepily looking into the camera, pointing at it.

"Oh, look how clear the picture is on that screen," Mon said and everyone looked at it.

"That's 'cause that's not from Jitters. That's our security footage," Cisco said.

"H.R. Wells. I know you're in there. Come quietly if you don't want trouble."

"H.R., how does she know you?" Mon asked as HR slowly frowned.

"Talk. Who is this...gorgeous intruder?" Cisco asked and Caitlin gave him a look.

"Her name is Gypsy, and she's what's known on my Earth as a collector," HR said.

"What is she collecting?" Mon asked.

"She's come to collect, you know, me," HR said. Then a breach opened up in the middle of the room, and out came the woman, Gypsy. And once she faced HR, she got a blaster out and shot HR, sending him to the ground. Caitlin and Mon ran over to him as Cisco shot a breach at her. He ran in front of her as she eyed him curiously.

"Where does it hurt?" Caitlin asked HR as he tried to sit up.

"Oh, everywhere," HR said.

"You can vibe? Oh, I like it," Gypsy said.

"Slow down there. Let's just talk about this, like two adults, over coffee, or maybe dinner, if you prefer that," Cisco said and Mon shot him a look from behind. "There's a great Thai place up the road, if you like Thai. I'm Cisco, by the way. You must be Gypsy. It's nice to meet you."

"Are you asking her on a date?" Caitlin asked.

"Seriously?" Mon asked.

"Are you kidding me?" HR asked.

"I am negotiating," Cisco said.

"Well, you showed me yours. Only fair I show you mine," Gypsy said before she opened up a breach, jumped in it.

Another one opened up behind Cisco, she jumped out of it, and then she blasted him from her hands, but her breach was red instead of blue. "Cisco!" Caitlin exclaimed then Kid Flash zoomed in and Gypsy looked at him.

"Ma'am, I'm gonna have to ask you to leave the building," Wally said.

"Speedster. That's fun. I like to have fun too," Gypsy said. Wally started to zoom at her but she held up her hand, the blast from her hand, stopping him from running at her as Cisco stood up slowly.

"I see you've got a lot to learn about your power," Gypsy said.

"Yeah. Like that. How do you do that? That's cool," Cisco said then Gypsy lifted her hand down and Wally fell to the ground, groaning in pain.

"You're harboring a fugitive from justice. Our world has a strict ban on inter-dimensional travel. He knew that when he came here," Gypsy said.

"So you tracked him here?" Cisco asked.

"Honestly, it wasn't that hard. Not when he's beaming H.R. Wells' Adventures in the Multiverse back chapter by chapter," Gypsy said.

"You know what? Whatever H.R. did, you can't just come here and take him by force. Not without going through us," Wally said.
