Chapter 13 - The Last Temptation Of Barry Allen Part 2...Part 2

**Crisis episodes will begin DECEMBER 1, 2021**

MacKenzie's POV

"Look at this." Cisco says, showing us the evidence on the computer. "Ramsey wasn't lying. Barry hacked the Particle Accelerator."

"He was getting it ready for Bloodwork." Iris says. "That's why he was pretending to be Barry. But why?"

"If Ramsey drops even just a tiny amount of his blood into the core and it explodes, the infectious cells will aerosolize and it would affect all of Central City in seconds." Cisco says. "All you'd have to do is take a breath."

A breach opens and out stumbles Frost and Allegra supporting an injured Joe

"Dad!" Iris exclaims, running over. The group gets Joe to the medical bed. "Do something, Frost." Iris tells her

"I can't... I can't handle this." Frost whispers, backing up. Frost melts and Caitlin appears

"There's a lot of blood loss." Caitlin says. "Looks like a nicked spleen. Frost, I don't have the equipment I need to close up this complicated of a wound, but you can with your ice powers." She says, waiting a moment. "Yes, you can. Frost, come on." Silence for a moment. "Frost, take control. Let yourself feel the fear, count to three, and do it anyway, because that's what heroes do. One, two..."

Frost takes over again. "Three." Frost says. She uses her cold powers on Joe's wound

Cisco is in the workroom where Iris and I walk in

"For the record, both our plans failed." Iris tells him

"Yeah." Cisco whispers. "I just went in one direction while you went in the other, instead of figuring out a plan together."

"Yeah." Iris whispers

"I should've made that happen." Cisco says. "I should've led the team."

"It's not too late." Iris tells him. "Barry chose you for a reason. Don't doubt yourself, Cisco." He chuckles. "What?"

"Something Ramsey said." Cisco says. "He said, 'I knew I picked the right guy.' Barry said those words." He turns his head. "Barry said those exact words to me when he made me team leader. Ramsey could've infected me. He could've killed me. But he didn't Instead he just did a complete 180 for no reason."

"There's something else." Iris says. "Ramsey said, 'I'm coming home.' I begged Barry to come home the last time I saw him, but I didn't think that I was getting through."

"Iris what if that was Barry?" Cisco asks. "What if you were right and he's still alive inside Dark Flash?"

"Then he could be trying to tell us what to do." Iris says

"We gotta take down Bloodwork." Cisco says. The computer beeps. "Someone's at the barrier." He says, pulling up security footage on the computer to see that it was Dark Flash and Ramsey

"Mack." Iris says, turning to look at me. "Go hide--"

"No, mom." I tell her. "No. Caitlin said it best... 'Let yourself feel the fear, count to three, and do it anyway, because that's what heroes do.'" I tell her. "So count to three. I'm helping."

"I have arrived to fulfill my destiny." Ramsey says. "And yes, my army is coming."

"Iris..." Dark Flash says. "Cisco let the light in." He says

Cisco smiles. "I think I just figured out Barry's plan And he just told us the next step." He says

"We need to lower the defenses." Iris says. "Let them in."
