[CRAZY― THE MELANIE MARTINEZ COVER]

Barry continues pounding against the mirror― glaring daggers at his mirror duplicate that still had his arms around his wife. He watches as the two start leaving the living room but not without the duplicate looking back into the mirror with a grin.

The brunette punches the mirror and shouts, "Get away from her! Y/N, please― that's not me!"

Suddenly, the mirror rippled and he could no longer see them or his loft. Barry exhales deeply and shakes his head, "Why is this happening?"

"Are you real?"

Barry jumps at the sudden voice behind him, he turns around to see a woman that looked awfully scared, staring at him.

"No, of course you're not. That's it-" She laughs, shaking her head and looking away from him, "That's it― I've finally lost it."

"No, no, um, I'm real." Barry assured her, glancing back at the mirror and walked towards her cautiously.

The woman stares at him for a few seconds before breaking into a smile, then quickly running over to him and pulling him in for a hug. Barry being caught completely off guard by the sudden actions.

"Oh, my― I― oh, I can't believe I'm talking to another person." She pulls away to look at him, "It's been so long."

Barry looks at her and quickly says, "Hold on you're Eva McCulloch, you founded McCulloch Technologies. But― you're supposed to be dead."

"No― not dead." Eva shakes her head, "Just trapped― Now so are you."

"You see, until now, this place was a whole world with one inhabitant." Eva starts to explain, "Me."

Barry looks around the place, "This has to be another Earth― but, that's impossible."

"Same Earth. Another dimension." Eva corrects him, taking hold of a book and he turns around to face her, "You see, a mirror-verse of Central City. Same city, same buildings, just empty. Who are you anyways?"

Barry takes the book from her and says, "I'm Barry Allen. I'm a CSI with the CCPD."

Eva nods at his words and takes the book back, "God, it feels so good to have a conversation that's not one-sided."

Barry walks away from her and notices all the boards with equations written on them. Along with papers and post-it all over the place― but he furrowed his brows to notice everything backwards.

"Eva, you mentioned this being a mirror-verse of our own world― out there." Barry turns to face her, "How is that possible?"

Eva picks up an oragami, "Think of it like this: Our reality is observed by three dimensions― width, depth, and length. The superstring theory posits that there are other realities, fractal dimensions humans can't see."

She begins to unfold it and continues, "So― Two sides. One, our world― the other is just some empty reflection. I'm a quantum engineer. It's― it's my wheelhouse."

Barry only nods and glances at a computer screen, he then gets a sharp pain on the side of his head. He closes his eyes for a moment and exhales deeply, rubbing the side of his head.

"Yeah, that's a side effect of this dimension." Eva tells him, "I barely notice them anymore."

"How did you end up here?" Barry asked, looking away from the computer and crossing his arms.
