          Later that afternoon and after Cisco and Caitlin returned, we were standing in the cortex watching a feed from the basement where we built the trap.

"The tachyon device is in place." Cisco said

"You think it will work?" Barry asked

"It'll work." Cisco said walking away from the console

I looked to Barry before following Cisco out of the Cortex and down to the basement. Before we got there, we stopped by the pipeline seeing Caitlin sitting there staring at her ring. We walked toward her sitting on either side of her.

"Caitlin. Don't worry. Hey" Cisco said

Caitlin looked up to him.

"Now that we know he's out there, we will find Ronnie again." Cisco explained

"Why? So we can throw him in there with all the other meta-human psychos?" Cailtin asked looking at the pipeline

"I'm not in there." I said

"I used to play this game in my head. What would I give up just for one more minute with him? My house, my career, the rest of my life? Today I finally got that minute and I wish I hadn't. Seeing him like that, what he's become... Dear god, I wish he had just died that day." Caitlin explained before she started to sob

Cisco and I wrapped our arms around her almost cocooning her, I squeezed her so hard trying to rid her of any sadness or grief she felt. We sat there and comforted her until she was ready to get up. We all arrived back up at the Cortex to watch and see the man in yellow get trapped, several minutes later Joe walked in with Eddie and several other men.

"Eddie?" I asked

"Hello Adaline, I forgot you worked here." Eddie said

"Yeah." I replied looking to Joe

He shook his head as we all huddled around the console waiting for the guest of the hour to arrive. I was sitting to the right of Dr. Wells as Cisco was to his left.

"Sending out another pulse." I called out pressing a button

"Are you certain this trap will work?" Eddie asked

"I've set up at least three charges into an open satellite. If anyone is looking for tachyonic particles, they'll know we got them." Cisco replied

We all stared back at the screens waiting till finally a flash of yellow light colored our screens and the force field was tripped, springing to life. He was trapped and fighting to get his way out. I looked at Caitlin and Cisco wide-eyed, almost shocked.
"Let's see what we caught." Wells said

The task force first piled out of the elevator spreading out, gun drawn, Eddie and Joe in the middle. Wells and I followed behind looking at the man in yellow.

"Cisco! Light!" Wells called out

"Sure thing Dr. Wells." Cisco called out

The lights within the trap lit up showing the man clear as day standing staring at us.

"Detective Thawne, would you like to read him his rights?" Wells asked

Joe slowly moved forward, walking toward him.

"Joe, What are you doing?" Eddie called out

"Getting some answers. 14 years ago, you murdered Nora Allen, Vivian and Joseph Garcia. I want to know why?" Joe asked

My neck snapped looking at Joe.

"Did you just say Vivian and Joseph Garcia?" I asked

"Why?" Joe called out

"Dr. Wells, we meet at last." The man said

"What do you want with the tachyonic particles?" Wells asked

"My goals are beyond your understanding." He said

"Oh I don't know, I'm a pretty smart guy. I knew you were pretty fast so any trap we manufactured would have to be invisible. I knew your cells could repair themselves at extraordinary speeds, so you could withstand the damage this is doing to your body right now. The reason I know all of this is because your powers are almost exactly like those of the Flash." Wells answered

"Oh I'm not like the Flash at all, some would say I'm the reverse." The man said

"You killed my parents?" I asked walking forward

"Adaline." Joe called out

"Oh little Addie, how you've grown." the man said

I felt myself growing angry, my arms starting to ache. Within a second, Wells was thrown onto the floor in the force field as the man in yellow began to beat on him.

"Harrison!" I yelled

"Cisco, turn off the barrier!" Joe yelled

"If I turn it off, that thing is going to get out." Cisco yelled

"Cisco!' I yelled running toward the force field

"Cisco, he's going to kill Wells." Joe yelled

I began to hear metal bending and sparks flying, I turned to see Joe smashing the breaker.

"Joe, wait!" I called out running to him

I began putting in numbers and different equations, dropping the force field. The man ran out grabbing particles standing in front of the elevator. The task force including Joe and Eddie were pointing their loaded weapons at him.
"Don't move or we will shoot." Eddie yelled

In the blink of an eye, all of the squad task force was on the floor unconscious, as he stood before Eddie. Eddie stared him in the eye as Joe let off several rounds. The man in yellow threw Eddie away racing toward Joe, who stood a couple feet away from me. He grabbed him by the throat, lifting him into the air.

"Joe!" I yelled walking toward them

"I warned you not to hunt me." He said

I hit him with the large wrench causing him to drop Joe, turning to me. He grabbed me shoving me into the wall across the room staring me in the face, I looked up seeing the red beety eyes, trying to figure out who this was. He grabbed me by the throat, hoisting me into the air.

"Oh the graceful Adaline, this was out of character for you." he said

"Fuck off." I spit

Within seconds, a flash of red came by as I dropped to the floor holding my throat. I coughed several times looking at Joe, Wells and Eddie. I got up, stumbling to get to Wells.

"Dr. Wells." I coughed

He waved me off, pointing to Eddie and Joe. I shook my head, I raced to his wheelchair, helping him back into it so we could go up to the Cortex and check out his injuries. When we got up there Caitlin and Cisco were standing there waiting. Caitlin helped Wells as Cisco came to me.
"Are you insane?" He asked

"Yes." I said with a raspy voice
