Just warning you that this chapter might be a tad emotional.


3rd Person's P.O.V.

"Nash! Cecile!" Barry yells from his cell as his friends look on from the lab. "Don't listen to them. That's not Iris and Damian."

"You know, you can stop playing this game or rot in there. I don't care. Either way, I'm gonna find the real Barry." Iris turns off the comms silencing Barry.

"Ah, I should've noticed something." Nash mutters. "I should've figured something..."

"No, no. No one's to blame." Iris assures Nash that he is fine. "He or it was pretty convincing."

"I never believed him." Damian states.

"If that's not Barry, then what is he?" Cecile asks. "He's like some mirror version of himself." Neither Iris nor Damian say anything. "Guys, Joseph Carver."

"Wait...you think that...this is related to Black Hole and their reflective chip technology?" Iris asks.

"Yeah."

"I don't know. That seems almost..."

"No, it's possible. I've seen that McCulloch tech up close, and it...reflective chip technology it's..."

"The most advanced refractive technology known to mankind." Damian interrupts. "It's all possible." He agrees with Nash.

"Okay, well, um, then this might be our best lead." Iris states as she looks to the ground. "Why don't you see what you can find, Nash? After that, I will regroup with Kamilla and do some digging of our own." Iris lays out the plan.

"I will reach other to Anna and speak with her about Barry." Damian states but doesn't realize Cecile, who doesn't have control of her powers, is psychically reading him and Iris.

"Are you okay, Cecile?" Iris asks, noticing something is off with her.

"Yeah. No, um..." Cecile tries to come up with a lie. "Something just doesn't feel right."

"Yeah, no, I understand. But we're gonna get to the bottom of this and get the real Barry back."

"And maybe he will be more improved." Damian adds.

"Here they come." Kamilla tells Singh as they wait outside A.R.G.U.S.

"Everything went according to plan?" Singh asks for a progress report.

"Yeah. We're fine."

"Everything went as planned. So Barry will not be a problem." Damian explains.

"Now, let's get what we came for."

"One of the benefits of being chief of police is I can request prisoner interviews even for the press." Singh passes badges over to Iris, Damian, and Kamilla. The four of them easily pass through the security breach with no issue. They enter the condiment area where Blook Work has been held, prisoner.
