He received a call from Cisco.

"Hey, man. What's up?" He said. Then his expression fell completely.

"No, that's not possible!"

"What?" I asked. He ignored me.

"Sure, we're going now."

He then looked at me with guilt on his expression.

"Fine. But you'll have to replace the dinner, all right?" He smiled and saluted.

"Yes, ma'am!" I slapped his arm.

"I'm not a ma'am!" I said, a smile covering my face. "So, let me pay and we'll go, okay?"

"No need for that..." He paid, stood up, took my hand and sped to STAR Labs, where we found some confused and mad people.

---------------------------------------

When we got there, Cisco was worried sick.

"He has Linda, and he's on the roof! Go, Barry!"

"Wait!" I shouted, thankfully stopping him. "Please, don't let anything that he tells you stop you from saving Linda, please." I said. He just nodded and went up.

"Please tell me you have surveillance cameras on the roof." I said, turning to Cisco.

"The hell I do!" He said and put the footage of the fight on the computer's screen, showing how Jay was about to throw Linda through the roof.

"Put her down."

"You like to fish with bait? I do too." And then, he let go of Linda, making her fall, but, thankfully, Barry was there to save her.

"I'm going." I said.

"No way. You were already hurt once, not gonna let you get hurt twice." Cisco said.

Recently, I had become aware that if I want to, for some reason, I could do somethings that I shouldn't, considering that I was not from that universe.

"I'm sorry Cisco." I said, and then, with a simple move of my hand, time stopped. I took Cisco's hand and put it away, at least a few centimeters away from mine. Then, time continued, and I went running.

I got there when Barry was throwing the lightning at him.

"Barry, move!" I shouted, and he moved, just when the lightning was going to hit him.

"Did you guys see that?" Barry asked, and just looked at me with a what-are-you-doing-here expression, same with Jay.

"No. I'm gonna see if Wells' speed-dampening serum works." He made a paus before talking.

"What do you want from me?" He shouted.

"Everything." Well, he was not lying. He wanted me, his speed, his world. At least he had a point.

"You want to be me? Is that it? You want to be a hero?" He just chuckled.

"Heroes die."

"Only if you can catch them."

And then, hell broke loose. They both got running, and Barry's "genius" idea resulted in him falling and Zoom breaking his spine. Me? I stood there watching everything, although I tried to do something, they just moved so quickly.

Harry fired his shot, but only resulted in him injecting it to Barry.

"Never forget, I am the fastest man alive." He then turned to both of us. "You two are next.

Then, he looked at me, speeding up to meet me and whispering damned words in my ear.

"And at the end, you'll be lonely, as my slave."

And he left me with my mouth open and with tears threatening to come out.

Harry took me inside, where all of them were searching for him.

Then, Zoom came in. I stood up, wanting all this to be just a dream.

"Harrison Wells, you thought you could defeat me with this?" He took Barry's mask off.

"It was a mistake."

"Yes, a costly one." Zoom entered his finger into Barry's body. "Goodbye, Flash. You too weren't fast enough"

"Stop!" I shouted and time stopped, making me act.

I punched Zoom where the sun doesn't shine, and pushed Barry away, then, made time normal again.

"What the- Amy!"

Unfortunately, making this movement the bullet that was meant to hit Zoom, hit me, which he laughed at, but not before screaming in pain because of the kick I gave him.

It didn't affect too much, because he went away with any inconvenient, leaving Barry and me on the floor.

"Amy, Barry, stay with us, please."

"Please..."

---------------------------------------

"This is all your fault! If any of them dies, you die."

"Joe, I am okay, and Barry's vitals are stabilized. Don't worry." I said with guilt in my voice. It seems that the bullet didn't make much effect on me, I was just dizzy and couldn't walk.

Joe had pinned Harry to the wall because he thought it was his fault, which kinda was, but I was not saying anything.

"Let him go." Cait said.

"No, Caitlin."

"Why? What good does that do for Barry?"

"Stop Cait, you're not gonna do anything."

"It's gonna help me."

"Joe, stop." Cisco said. "Who's Jesse?"

Harry moved, now taking Cisco by the shoulders.

"How do- Jesse's my daughter. Zoom has her. You... You did vibe me."

"Yes."

"What did you see?"

"I saw your daughter. She was with Zoom."

"But she's alive?"

"Yeah."

"Zoom sent you here like the other? You kill The Flash, and you get your daughter back?" Joe said, and by the way he said it, it seemed he was angry.

"The only way I get my daughter back is, I capture Zoom. Do you understand? You love Barry." He punched the wall next to him. "I love my daughter. And none of these children are safe as long as Zoom is here." He turned to Cisco. "I tried on my Earth to capture him. I failed. I thought I could bring him down here with Barry's help. I was wrong."

Then, Joe turned to me.

"Did you know?"

"Maybe..."

"The why didn't you tell us?!"

"Look, I know all this, so stop blaming me for all the things that happen in this freaking universe?! What's next is worse, and I want to le you guys know that I wished I could do something about it, but I just can't. I'm not a meta, I do not belong in this universe, so stop it! You make me feel useless..."

"Guys, he's waking up."

"Amy, I need to talk to you." Harry said.

"Good, because I don't want to se what's next. Can we go to another room, please?"

"Sure."

Harry took me to the other room, were he helped me to sit and then stood up in front of me.

"What is it that you want me to talk about?"

"I know almost anyone didn't notice, but I did. The hell did you do back there}' How could you move so quickly?"

"I guess you could say I'm a meta..."
