EARTH-1
Jamie notices Barry walking out of the West home, so she excuses herself and he's to check on him.

"You okay?", Jamie asks.

"Um, yeah. Just came out here to think", Barry says. "You know when you're leaving to go back to Earth-2?".

"Trynna get rid of me already, huh?", Jamie joked.

"Wha- no, I'm".

"Barry I'm kidding", Jamie says. "Im leaving now. But I wanted to check on you, before I leave".

Barry helps Jamie sit on the step.

There was complete silence for a while.

"Im proud of you", Barry says.

"What do you mean?", Jamie asks.

"Proud, for being strong. I know you lost a lot", Barry says.

"So have you", Jamie says. "Im sorry, for loss. I'm sorry for everything".

"You didn't do anything", Barry says.

"I blamed you for my dads death, and although, I was right at the moment, I shouldn't have done what I did".

"It's okay", Barry says.

"We lost both of our parents", Jamie says. "This sucks".

"Yeah".

Jamie looks at Barry.

"What going on in that head of yours?", Jamie asks.

"Can't stop thinking about my dads doppelgänger. Seeing him, knowing that he's out there, that should've made it easier", Barry says. "It doesn't. It just made me miss him even more".

"I understand. Seeing Wally, it brings up a lot", Jamie says.

"We just won. We beat Zoom. Why does it feel like I just lost?", Barry says.

"That's the cost of being hero's, Barry. No matter how much we win, we still lose", Jamie says. "But you lost a lot in your life, Barry. Some can say more than most".

"I wanna be selfish right now. I want to try to have something with you", Barry says.

"I wish I was in a place where I could try something with you", Jamie says. "But I numb. I feel more broken than I ever was in my life".

"Yeah. I understand. I feel so hollowed out inside right now", Barry says. "I need to find some..some peace".

"So do I. I need to get my life, in order, move on, and I can't do that and be in a relationship, because it wouldn't be real", Jamie says. "And I want to have a real relationship".

Barry looks up at the stars, as Jamie looks at him.

"But I will always be here, as your friend,
Barry. Wherever you need to go, whatever you need to do, do it. And when you get back. You know where to find me. And I'll be waiting", Jamie says.

"Okay. I'll be waiting too", Barry says.

Barry and Jamie leans in for their kiss.

Jamie is the first to pull away. She stand up and walks to the door. Jamie looks back and smile.

"Bye, Barry".

"Bye, Jamie".

Jamie asks back into the house, and grabs the rest of her belonging.

"It's time", she tells everyone.

Everyone goes to hug her, and tell her how much their gonna miss her.
