Chapter 41: Saving Harry

Cortex

The team listened to Jesse explain the situation, "It's been two weeks since he disappeared. I mean, no one's seen or heard from him since." she said

"Slow down. Just start from the beginning." Naruto said getting a nod as Jesse took a deep breath, "Okay, why did your dad go to Gorilla City?"

*Wait, can we slow down even further? Please explain what is a Gorilla City?" Felicity asked

"Okay, so there are sentient, highly intelligent evolved gorillas in Earth-2. And they all live in a city deep in the heart of Africa." Jesse explained

"We sent Grodd there when he went after Fay Wray here." Cisco said nodding to Caitlin

"Grodd's there?" Linda asked

"Mm. He wanted companionship and Harry helped us send him there." Caitlin said as Naruto frowned in thought

"Why on Earth, any Earth, would your father want to go there?" Whitney asked

"I mean, we received a mathematical cryptogram at S.T.A.R. Labs. It was highly complex. It took a week to decode it, but my dad and I did." Jesse said

"What did it say?" Naruto asked

"It was an invitation from the gorillas to my dad." Jesse said

"Why Harry?" Linda asked

"They wanted to meet him. So he mounted an expedition with ten other people, and they went into the jungle. But they failed multiple check-ins, and a search party went in after them. But all they found were the bodies all of them beaten to death...But no one's seen my dad. I mean, is he-"

"No. No, he's alive." Naruto said placing a hand on Jesse's arm to calm her down, "Grodd went to a lot of trouble to get him there. He need him for something. We're gonna figure out what that is."

"Oh! There you guys are. I've been looking all over for you." H.R. said walking in, "Are we going for coffee or what?"

"Dad!" Jesse yelled running over and hugging H.R as everyone looked at her sadly as H.R. smiled hugging her back

"Yes, that's how you say good morning, people with hugs." H.R. smiled

"Jesse, that's not who you think it is." Naruto said causing Jesse to look at them

"This is H.R. You met him briefly before you left last time." Caitlin said causing Jesse to back up as she looked at H.R

"At your service, madame." H.R bowed

"He's Harry's substitute." Naruto said

"Some would say improvement." H.R. smirked

"Um, this is Harry's daughter." Cisco said

"Yeah." H.R nodded

"He's been kidnapped." Cisco said

"He I didn't know. I'm so s - I thought - Sorry about that." Jesse and H.R stammared

"I'm sorry, too. I'm sorry I took the smile from your face." H.R. said as Jesse walked back from him, as Linda noticed the thoughtful expression on Naruto's face

"What are you thinking about?" Linda asked

"I don't think Grodd wanted just companionship, I think he wanted soldiers." Naruto said causing everyone to look at him, as he brought up the headline

"This headline from the future: the city's still recovering from a gorilla attack. I think Grodd lured Harry to Gorilla City to get us."

"He wants to come back." Caitlin frowned
