The Flash x OC - Season 2

Episode 16 - King Shark

Everyone was still in front of the speed cannon for a few minutes after Zoom had killed Jay and pulled him into the breach. "He's not dead. He's not dead." Caitlin begged in denial.

"Caitlin..." Atchaco said softly.

"He's not dead. He's not." Caitlin repeated.

"Caitlin..." Iris tried.

"This isn't happening. This isn't happening again." Caitlin cried as Cisco walked up to her.

"Hey, I got you. Come on." Cisco reassured her as they walk out of the basement.

"Open it up." Barry ordered.

"Allen..." Harry tries to say.

"I need to go back." Barry tells him.

"I can't do that." Harry replies.

"Open it up!" Barry yelled.

"Allen! The breaches are closed. All the breaches are closed." Harry reminds him.

"Why can't we just open one of 'em?" Joe asked.

"The quark matter energy that we used to seal the breaches, it prevents them from being opened, ever again. There's no going back to our world." Harry answered.

"Wait. We're trapped here for good?" Jesse questioned.

"Yes." Harry replied.

"No, we can't just let Zoom get away with this. He just murdered Jay right in front of us." Atchaco reminds them.

"There's got to be something we can do." Barry said.

"There's not. Not this time. It's over." Harry told them.

"No." Barry storms off.

Later at night in the Cortex, Cisco was looking at Reverb's goggle as he watches over Caitlin who was sleeping when Barry walked in. "How's she doing?" Barry asked.

"Not good. We tried to get her to go home, but she refused to leave, so, you know, I just sat with her until she fell asleep." Cisco answered.

"First Ronnie, now Jay." Barry said.

"Yeah." Cisco scoffs. "I'm afraid what this double dose of grief is gonna do to her. I mean, she's pretty shell-shocked."

"She'll be fine." Harry reassures them as he walks in. "Snow's strong. She'll get past this. But in the meantime, I would not say anything to her about her counterpart from my Earth. That goes for Atchaco, Joe and Iris too."

"Why?" Barry questioned.

"Because you don't want to influence their reality in ways that should not be influenced." Harry said.

"Like in the same way as when Barry time-travels?" Cisco asked.

"Exactly, but also, what's the point? Those people are not your people. Their lives are not your lives. Never were, never will be. Bury it. Move on. Yes?"

"Yeah. That I can do." Cisco said, looking over at Caitlin.

"Allen?" Harry wonders.

"I gave Atchaco something I was told to give her by her doppelganger and I told her that, is that okay?" Barry wonders.

"I don't know." Harry sighs. "Knowing her as goddess of the multiverse, it will be, but you won't tell her anything about the other Atchaco. Got that?" Barry nods.

Later, Barry was running around the city as Harry and Jesse get settled at STAR Labs. "So that's what we did." Barry said to himself as he ran. "We didn't talk about Earth-2. We kept what happened there between the three of us and got on with our lives knowing there was nothing we could do now to stop Zoom. Instead, we tried to just adjust to our new circumstances and cope with our losses."
