           The four of them arrived at Joe's house, he stood there unimpressed by their actions.
"For four very smart people, that was really stupid and you!" Joe said pointing at Adaline

"Me?!" She asked

"You know better, you were the one that always walked away from moments like that? What happened?" Joe asked

"I was out numbered, give me a break." Adaline said
"Besides that, what if Wells would have caught you in that..." Joe said pointing to Cisco

"Time Vault." He said
"Thank you." Joe replied

"Okay, I know we've seen a lot this past year, but time travel?" Eddie asked
"I did it." Barry said

The five of them turned to look at him.

"I mean, I will do it, I mean." Barry said

Adaline looked at him, unconvinced by his statement.

"Excuse me?" Eddie asked

"One of the two speedsters in Barry's house the night his mother died was Barry. I mean, The Flash. He was there. Which means one day in the future, Barry will travel back in time to that night." Cisco said

"Actually I wasn't talking about that." barry said

We all turned, looking at him.

"I kind of already time traveled by accident." Barry said
"What?" Joe asked

"I knew it!" Adaline said

They all stared at her.

"Yeah, sorry not the time." she said sitting next to Caitlin

"I was running to try and stop a tsunami from hitting the city--" Barry said
"When was that?" Caitlin asked

"A few weeks ago." Barry announced

The five looked at the tall speedster.

"Right before you two started getting those dreams." Barry said
"Oh you mean the ones where Wells uses his super-speeding hand to shred my heart?" Cisco said sarcastically

"Or the ones where I witness it and it causes some probably unresolved trauma. Those?" Adaline added

"Yes, right. So what if they're not dreams?" Barry said

"What else could they be?" Caitlin asked

"Memories." Barry said
"I'm not following." Joe said
Adaline got up, walking toward Cisco and Eddie, turning back to Barry.

"Alright, what if that day, Cisco and Addie found out Wells was Reverse-Flash, and then Wells killed him and when I ran back a day, I changed the timeline so that event never happened." Barry explained

"Okay, but Dell's powers have evolved since that day, how do you explain that?" Caitlin said
"I think her witnessing that happening to Cisco caused a shift in her, physically. Anything could have happened, she could have gone fully to the darkside, a wall could have broken but we'll never know." Barry said

"Okay but if it never happened, how can both of them remember it?" Joe asked

"I don't know, I don't know. I think the important thing is that they do. Guys, I think I have a really bad idea." Barry said
Adaline's eyes flash as her head shifts giving him a confused face.
"Really?! That's your idea! No!" Adaline said

The others stared at the couple as they slightly communicated silently. The short brunette shook her head, taking a seat by Caitlin, zoning out thinking back to that night.

The hospital lights were dimmed after the sun went down and the night crept in. It was half-past ten when Barry Allen was flatlining once again, several doctors worked on him as Joe West stared through the door.

"They can't save him." Wells said

Joe turned looking at him, slightly confused.

"But I can." Wells said

"I know who you are. You're that scientist that Barry's obsessed with, the one that blew a hole in the city. The one my god-daughter works with." Joe said
"Harrison Wells and interestingly enough, my facility is the very place I want to take him." Wells said
"You're out of your mind." Joe said
"How about some reassurance?" Wells asked
Joe looked at him, more confused until Adaline walked out, staring at him.
"Hey Joe." She smiled

"Beauty..." Joe whispered

"Give us a chance Joe." She said walking closer to him

"It's not you, it's him I don't trust. He hurt a lot of people that night." Joe said

"Yeah, him and I included but I helped make the particle accelerator Joe, I was the lead engineer. I am just as much to blame, so please let me make it right. You think those doctors in there, they're good enough? Look at them Joe, they have no clue what's going on and the reason for that is because what's happening in Barry is a mystery. Let us help, please?" Adaline explained

"Let us make sure that your son does have a future, Detective. Let me save him." Wells said

Joe stared at Wells before his eyes made his way back to Adaline, her eyes glazed over as tears threatened to spill. Joe stared back at the doctors working on Barry before he grabbed her hand, giving it a slight squeeze before turning back to Wells.

"Then save him." Joe said

Adaline stared back at the male lying on the bed, defibrillators against his chest as he jolted waiting for his heart rate to come back.

"Addie?" Caitlin said
Adaline blinked several times, turning toward the scientist.

"Sorry, I zoned out there for a moment, continue." Adaline said

Barry nodded before turning back to focus on the task

"We--we have to access their memories somehow." Barry said
"But who's? Which one?" Eddie said
"Um, my dream is just being whisked away and then when I arrive back in the bunker, Cisco's on the floor... pale." Adaline said

She rubbed her hands together as she felt the power flair up in her palms. Caitlin grabbed her hands, giving a slight squeeze as the green glow died down.

"So Cisco's, they have to be in his subconscious and in there holds the key." Barry said

"The key to what now?" Joe asked

"Getting my dad out of prison." Barry said

"And how are we going to do that?" Caitlin asked

"We're going to get Wells to confess to murdering Adaline's parents and my mom." Barry said
