"Um I'm going to go get everyone in here." Caitlin says walking away.
"Cisco, Joe?" They were standing outside the room Barry was in.
"Yeah Caitlin?" Joe says.
"You guys need to come into the cortex, with Barry." She demands.
"Barry is sleeping, he made himself sick from crying so hard."
Caitlin grimaced. "Well I think he's gonna want to hear this." She points out.
"Alright then, Cisco, let's wake him."
They go into room and turn the lights on. That's enough for Barry to wake, since he was only half asleep anyway.
"Yes?" He asks sleepily.
"There's something you probably want to hear. Let's go to the cortex." Caitlin remarks.
"Mkay." He says, swinging his legs over the side of the bed and getting up.
He sees Anabelle when they walk in. "Hi Barry." She greets.
"Hey." He says warily.
"Go ahead, tell them." Caitlin pushes.
"Um, I'm kind of from a different Earth or a parallel universe, something like that." She looks down. "When I found myself in Central City, I was a little shocked." She laughs a bit.
"When was that?" Cisco questions. Everyone is in shock right now. Joe, Cisco, Caitlin, and especially Barry.
"A day before the interview."
"That's a little soon, for suddenly being in a new Earth, not knowing anything about it." Cisco says accusingly.
"That was the day I started feeling ill. Not my best week, I guess." Barry jumps in.
"Wait what?" Caitlin turns to Barry. "I thought you got sick the day of the interview."
"No he was throwing up the night before." Joe points out.
"And you didn't make him stay home?" Caitlin asks angrily.
"He said it was something he ate, I was waiting for him to realize it wasn't, I didn't believe him."
"Okay anyway." Anabelle says a little annoyed.
"Yes I agree it might have been a little soon, but there are a lot of similarities." She smiles.
"Barry Allen is The Flash on my Earth. The Flash works at CCPD and STAR labs. He works with you guys. Everything in Central City is the same as it is here."
"What?" Cisco is confused now.
"But the difference is..." She takes a deep breath. "The Flash, it's not real on my Earth. It's a Television show. A very popular one too, my favorite." Everyone's mouthes are hung open in shock.
"W-what?" Barry asks in complete shock.
"So Barry Allen is a fictional character on my Earth. I came here so fast because I knew you guys could help me. I know you."
"This is mad freaky." Cisco states.
"Thomas Grant Gustin, better known as Grant Gustin. Born January 14, 1990. Age 26." She shows them a picture along with an article.
"T-that's me." Barry says his voice wavering. "Star of the hit TV show, The Flash. Also played Sebastian Smythe in seasons 3-5 of Glee?"
"Yep that's you. Wonderful singer and tap dancer. You've won awards for your acting. I've also watched all of The Flash so I know your life."
"That's a little creepy. Wait! You know what him and Joe talk about in that room! One time I heard crying in there." Cisco announces.
Barry glares at him. "There was no crying, you must have miss-heard."
Joe chuckles. "Don't lie." Barry scowls at him.
"So you know a bunch of embarrassing things that has happened to him then!" Cisco exclaims.
"Yes, some nightmares, girlfriends, karaoke, oh and the ghost pepper!" She laughs. Barry is somehow glaring at Joe, Cisco, and Anabelle all at the same time.
"We'll talk about that later." Cisco says. "So tell me more about these actors."

"So do you still want to go on that date, even though I'm practically an alien?" Anabelle asks him.
"Hmmm? Oh sure. Where do you want to go?" He asks, snapping out of his trance. He was blankly staring at the wall.
"We could simply go to Jitters and get to know each other better, even though I know a lot about you." She shrugs.
He laughs. "Sure, still tomorrow night?"
"Yep."
"Alright it's a date." He smiles, his first real smile since the night his Dad died.
But then the ground beneath them begins to violently shake.
Sorry this was a short one, cliffhanger!
