Barry could pinpoint the exact moment when Jessie’s heart ripped in half, and the point where it ripped into smaller pieces that got smaller and smaller.
“Wally?” Jessie whispered hoarsely.
Barry looked at the rest of Team Flash for their reactions. Joe and Iris had unshed tears in their eyes, Cisco’s mouth hung open and shock was permanently etched onto his face, and Caitlin looked sad.
Confusion (because Barry refused to call him Wally now) shrugged a shoulder. “Eh. Kinda. Wally here is just my nightly hotel.”
Jessie was now angry. “You’repossessing Wally?”
Confusion smirked, and shrugged. “That’s a little harsh, but I s’pose you can call it that.”
Jessie lunged at Confusion, and sent a flurry of punches at his ribs. Confusion batted her away like an annoying fly. Cisco and Caitlin were next to try, sending waves of ice and vibes (as Cisco called them), which sometimes melded together. Confusion just vibrated, and the ice and vibes just absorbed into him.
Apparently, there were more to Wally’s powers than they had thought.
Cisco now attacked Confusion more one-on-one, but was grabbed by the neck. Confusion choked Cisco for a few moments, then threw him aside, knocking Cisco into Caitlin in the process.
Confusion shot a vibe at Joe, who wasn’t even attempting to reach for his gun, and Barry knocked him out of the way.
Iris stood off to the side, outside of the speed barriers they had set up, with their activator. “Barry!” She yelled, signaling that she was going to turn on the barriers.
Barry sped out of the barriers, and Iris slammed the “ON” button. When Confusion tried to follow, he ran into the barriers, and was flung back.
Groaning, Confusion pushed himself up, smirking. “Well, well, well. Well done, Cisco.”
Iris winced. “Creepy.” She muttered, shivering.
Barry nodded. “Yeah. It’s not truly Wally, though,” then he raised his voice, “C’mon! Let’s get ‘im back to S.T.A.R!”
Iris hit another button that released a strong knockout gas, knocking out Confusion, then hit the “OFF” button so Jessie and Barry could speed him back to S.T.A.R Labs. Iris watched them speed off with a heavy heart. They had planned to lock Confusion up, but now that they knew he was Wally, what were they gonna do?
Iris sighed. Poor Wally.
