Episode 25 - Flash Fanfiction - Wells the World Walker

Chapter 4

As the group took seats around the cortex with their dopplegangers, Jessie left STAR Labs for the day. The World Walker and his clone tried to determine who may have set the trap.

Caitlin and Barry both spoke with Earth 1's Caitlin as Astrid and Cisco spoke with Cisco's doppleganger, exchanging battle stories.

"It's really hard to believe that the two of you are a pair," Earth 1 Caitlin said, as she saw how comfortable Barry and Caitlin were together with their affections. "How did that happen?"

"Well," Caitlin began as she smiled at Barry, "The chemistry has always been there, Barry even initiated my wedding with Ronnie, but then he died and I wanted to push those feelings aside for Barry. They were always there. Especially after a night out with the group and some karaoke and..." Caitlin's voice trailed off.

"That was the best night of my life," Barry said with a smile. He kissed his Caitlin on the lips, making her blush. Barry continued on the conversation, "Caitlin kept trying to push her feelings back and I kept persisting... then I think, Astrid said something about her being allowed to feel what she feels... and that pushed her along a little more... and here we are... She's my perfect match. Sorry, I probably shouldn't have said that!" Barry said realizing that he was talking to the doppleganger of his love.

He wasn't sure of this other Caitlin and her Barry's relationship, especially after hearing that this man was with Iris.

"No, it's fine. I'm just glad to know that I'm happy in another world. It's somewhat comforting." Earth 1 Caitlin said. There was a sadness to her, which Caitlin and Barry had both noticed.

"Hey, what are things like for you, here?" Caitlin asked her.

Her doppleganger looked down at the floor. "I know there's no use lying to either one of you. Especially because you're me... in a way. But I've been struggling with Killer Frost. This is actually the first mission that I've gone on with Cisco for a while now, ever since Barry went into the speedforce. The dynamics of STAR Labs have been changing and I don't want to burden the group... but you know Cisco, he just doesn't know when to stop." Barry and Caitlin grinned, if he was anything like their friend, he could be very persistent.

"This is just so weird." Cisco said as he was speaking to his Earth 1 doppleganger. "I mean you're the most like me clone throughout the multiverse and the mirrorverse!"

"The mirrorverse?" Earth 1 Cisco asked.

"It's the world on the other side of the mirror!" Astrid explained. "You have heard of it right?"

"Like in the movies?" Earth 1 Cisco asked them.

"Exactly like the movies..." Cisco said, "Our clones from there were the complete opposite to us. My clone was well... a dick! But, Astrid's clone was..."

Astrid cut him off "Choose your words wisely, Cisco..."

"She was hot!" Cisco whispered to his doppleganger. Astrid nudged him hard with her elbow.

"So, I don't understand... how did the two of you meet? I'm guessing that you guys helped her after she was exposed to the particle accelerator and you two just hit it off, right?" Earth 1 Cisco asked them.

"Particle accelerator? Dude, we were hit by a meteor shower... But no, it was like the whole perfect relationship you see in the movies." Cisco said, "We met due to a high school dare, became best friends, and we finally got together just recently."

"You met at high school?" he asked them.

"Yeah, she was dared to kiss Dante but she got the dare wrong and kissed me instead. It was fate." Cisco replied.

"Cisco... He's referring to the fact that he has never met another version of me..." Astrid said.

"Oh, that's because she's an anomaly. Barry rescued her... twice in fact." Cisco said.

At that point things began making sense to Astrid. Had Doctor Fate been the real reason that she had survived? Had he ordered her rescue both times? But why? and why only in their world? She knew that Barry didn't have the answers, but maybe that was what Harry was hiding. She needed to ask him. She would the moment they got back home to their own earth.

"But the first time? That would have had to have been a Barry from a future time, right?" Earth 1 Cisco asked them.

"I'm not sure, maybe?" Cisco asked, he really didnt know.

"It was Barry, but I'm not sure, either. It's really confusing," Astrid said. "I still remember seeing him standing behind a tree. He was in his red suit, with the white..."

"White background behind the lightning bolt." Both Cisco's said at the same time.

"Man, I wish you guys would stop doing that. It's so creepy!" Astrid said.

"Okay!" I think we have our answer!" the World Walker Wells said.

"We're listening... Clone of Wells..." Earth 1 Cisco said. "Are you guys sure that he is not actually Eobard Thawne aka the Reverse Flash? Because we have had so much trouble when it has come to Wells' dopplegangers in the past!"

"Eobard Thawne? With an image changer thingy?" Caitlin said. "Yeah we've seen that version too. But it's not this guy..."

"Nope, this guy is a Sky Walker!" Cisco said.

"It's World Walker, Ramon!" DR Wells corrected.

"Yeah, but Sky Walker sounds better!"

"Cisco!" Barry said, "Let them speak... You guys were saying?"

Earth 2's Wells adjusted his glasses as he stared at the tablet in his hands, "Before Earth 2's particle accelerator, I was working on a cloning project... I cloned myself... It was like the whole Savitar thing... He was an evil version of myself. I thought that I had locked him away into another world, but now I'm guessing that he made his way out somehow... and he's set on revenge."

"But, how does that bring our Wells into this?" Astrid asked him.

"I may have met this guy, once." The World Walker said, "I helped him lock said evil clone into said world. It was my technology that we used."

"So, what you're saying here is that we're sitting ducks?" Caitlin asked.

"Heh heh... Sitting ducks... there's that reference again!" Cisco said with a laugh. "But I don't like what it means... Crap! So he could be watching us right now?" his tone went a little high pitched, as he realized what it had meant for them.

"So, is this another doppleganger team up?" Barry asked them.

"If we get hurt, do they get hurt?" Caitlin asked.

"I don't think it's like the mirrorverse, Caitlin," Cisco said.

"Why, what happens in the mirrorverse?" Earth 1 Caitlin asked.

"There's this whole 'I feel what you feel routine'" Astrid said, "If someone blasts your clone, you feel it too... just like if someone kisses your clone..." She added this last bit, as she looked at Cisco.

"Hey... it wasn't cheating! We weren't even together, at the time!" Cisco said.

"You guys! Not the time!" the World Walker cut in, "No... if we team up, your dopplegangers won't feel the effects if you get hurt... My group already said they're willing to help... But it's up to you and your group, Harry." He looked at the other Wells.

"I'm going to help... you and I started this mess. We should see it through." Earth 2 Wells replied.

"Hey, if Wells is helping, I'm not letting him do this alone... even if my doppleganger is helping too... Which technically would be me helping... but a different me!" Earth 1 Cisco said "What about you, Cait? Original team Flash together again? You know without...our Flash?"

Earth 1 Caitlin looked at the group around her, she missed how things used to be. "Sure, Cisco... but when we get back to our earth, you need to leave me be. This is a one time only thing!"

"Sure... You have my word, Caitlin." Earth 1 Cisco said to her, with a smug smile. They all knew that he was lying.
