When I reached Stagg industries, Black had an army of three and had a gun pointed to Stagg's head. I put Stagg out of path of the gun.
"Stay here." I told him before running back to deal with Black. I couldn't identify the prime, but I saw 30 clones guarding the office.
"I know Stagg stole your research, but that doesn't give you the right to murder." The clone in front of me fired his gun, but I dodged the bullet. I turned around and took down as many guards as I could find. I turned around and saw another one pointing his gun at me.
"You think this is about my job." I pushed him against the wall and threw his gun on the floor. "This is about Elizabeth." I turned around and another copy fired his gun. I dodged the bullet again. "She was my wife." I took down the copy behind me and went downstairs where the rest of the clones were. "She had a degenerative coronary disease. She'd been on the transplant list for years, but time was running out. So, if I couldn't get her a new heart,"
"You were gonna grow her one." I concluded. The clone I was behind turned around and fired his gun, but I ran away, making him shoot another clone.
"I was so close. Until Stagg stole my research. So he could reap the glory. And I got to bury my best friend. Now, I'm alone." I snuck up behind him and pushed him to the ground. I turned around and saw the original Black regenerate. They all ran at me and I was too slow. Within a matter seconds, my arms were tied behind my back and they were punching me. I was able to get my arms free and I ran past all of them and near the front.
"Remember, Barry and Becca, find the prime."
"Easier said than done. Barry's not here."
"He took his suit and left."
"Dammit. Find Barry. I got this."
"Nothing's impossible Becca. You and Barry taught me that." Joe said over comms. "You can do this."
I turned around and saw a literal stampede of Black's clones coming towards me. I had no clue which one was the prime until I saw one in the back doing nothing. I charged towards him, knocking down all the other clones. I ran him away from his army and slammed against a pole. All of his other clones fell down.
"Becca. Becca, are you alright?" Cisco asked.
"I'm fine. I'm fine. It's done."
I turned around and saw Danton charging at me. I dodged out of the way and his body went out the window. I used my speed to get to him before he fell, but I only had a grab on his hand.
"Hang on!"
"No." He regenerated in my hand and went crashing to the ground 20 stories below.

"Central City reporters are now confirming..."
"I tried to save him." I told Cisco, Caitlin, and Wells. Joe went back to work and Barry was still MIA.
"Doesn't sound like he wanted to be saved." Dr. Wells tried to console me. "Some people, when they break, they can't be put back together again."
I turned to face him. "Some people heal even stronger."
"I hope so."
"Well, at least multiplex won't be able to hurt anyone else." We all gave him surprised faces. "Told you I'd come up with a cool name."
"Yeah, I may be the one in the suit doing all the running, but when I'm out there helping people, making a difference, you're all out there with me." There was a whooshing sound behind me. "Except for him. I had to fight a regenerating bad guy without his help and he's been MIA for 3 hours." I said, not turning around.
"Can we talk?"

"Where were you? The team said that you left with your suit, but I know you didn't show up to help with Black."
"I went to talk to Iris. To help me figure some stuff out. And I realized how stupid I was being. I was just a coward. I was scared of getting hurt. That's not what a hero does. I'm sorry I left you to fight Black alone. I really am. Can I join you next time?"
"Sure. You know, you're good at apologizing. You should do it more often." He hugged me. "Now, if you'll excuse me I'm going to talk to dad."

"Hey dad." I picked up the phone.
"Hey, angel."
"How's it going?"
"You know, same old same old. What about you."
"Barry did something stupid today. And I couldn't watch over him because I had to clear up his stupid mistake. And it almost killed me."
"You know Barry. He's always the reckless one going headfirst into the flames."
"Yeah, I just wish it wasn't always me that had to pick up his pieces."
"Becca, I am so proud of you for being able to do that for Barry. And I love him, but he's been living under your wing for too long. Let him fly free."
"I think I know the person that could help me with that. I love you dad."
"I love you too."
"Me and Barry aren't going to give up. We will find mom's killer and get you out of here."
"I don't want to give you false hope."
"You're not. I can't go into depth, but the lightning changed me and Barry. I promise we're going to get you out of here."
"Just make sure you take care of Barry."
"I promise."

I made my way to the old Queen Consolidated warehouse in Star City. I sped in, resulting in Dig drawing his gun and Oliver drawing his bow.
"Hey, it's just me. It's just Becca."
"Becca doesn't have super speed."
"Those two streaks you've heard in the news are me and Barry. Oliver you already knew that Barry was that way, but the lightning changed me too.
"John, put your gun down." Oliver had already put his bow down, but John still had his gun raised. He slowly put it down. "What are you doing in Star City?"
"I need to talk to Felicity."
"That could've just been done over a phone call. Why did you run 600 miles?" She asked confused.
"Because I could use you in Central City."
