33| Welcome to Earth 2

"Wait so let me get this straight." Jade said slowly as she tried to gather her thoughts. "I think I know what you said the first time, but its so crazy I'm not sure it's true. Your telling me that you and your friends are going to another Earth? In the what you call the multiverse?"

"Yeah, that's pretty much it." I confirmed as we walked down the familiar hall that led to the Cortex.

"Wow." She muttered as she followed me. "I mean meta-humans is one thing. But a multiverse?"

"Wait till I tell you about time travel."

"What?" She asked but I knew that this was all to complicated to explain now so I decided not to try to continue the topic as we walked into the Cortex.

"Bam. Uhh, that's how it's done." Cisco exclaimed in excitement as Caitlin looked down at the computer screen with a wide smile.

"He did it?" I asked as I walked over to them and Caitlin simply nodded with excitement. At that moment Barry rushed into the room with a wide smile across his face.

"Not bad for a guy who got a C in gym." He said before placing a quick kiss on my lips.

"D plus." Caitlin added as she raised her hand.

"Straight up F right here." Cisco stated before he looked over at me. "And there's no point in asking you."

Ignoring Cisco's comment I looked down at the computer screen that showed a map of the city that no longer showed the scattered breaches all over our city. "Can't believe it. We finally closed all the breaches."

"All except the one. Our last way to Earth-2." Jay announced as he walked into the Cortex. "Ready?"

Barry simply nodded as we all followed Jay down to the basement, where Harry was probably already impatiently waiting for us.

"All right, listen to me. You're about to go through the looking glass." Jay told us as we all gathered in the basement in front of the last breach. Joe and Iris were also waiting nervously by Jay's speed canon as Harry continued package some of his things. "You're gonna see things that look and feel familiar, but they're not. Up is down. Black is white, and do not let yourself get sucked in emotionally, and good luck."

"Look, if we're not back in 48 hours, that means that Zoom has us." Barry told Joe and Iris who still seemed hesitant about our plan. "If that happens, you have to close the breach."

"We're not gonna do that." Joe replied sternly, but the look on his face told us that he would if it was necessary.

Jade walked over to me, but she wouldn't exactly meet my eyes as she struggled for the right words. "You...well you know..."

"We're coming back." I assured her as a small smile played on my lips realizing that maybe she did care.

"Is anybody else feeling panic right now?" Cisco asked us nervously as he adjusted the start of larger backpack that he was bringing with him. "I chickened out of bungee jumping when I was 18, but this is categorically a lot scarier."

"Once I turn the speed cannon on, the four of you will be able to pass through unharmed, but Barry, you need to make sure you keep your speed up." Jay warned as we stood in front of the speed canon, and I unlike Cisco I tried to his the fact that I was nervous about this. "Do not get distracted by anything you see along the way."

"What are we gonna see?" Cisco asked as he looked back at Jay who was standing behind the control panel.

"Everything."
