It's been a few minutes since everybody got back

It's been a few minutes since everybody got back. We made sure to rush straight back to Skylar's room.

I am standing next to her when she starts to have a seizure.

"We've got to get her out of it!" Kara shouts.

Amelia, James, Kara, and Hank are in the room, along with me. Excluding the few nurses and Maxwell Lord in the corner.

"You've have to put me in. It's the only way." I hurry.

"He's right. Put it on, quick!" Alex rushes, tossing the helmet to me.

I put it on, and sit back on the metal bed. Just like Alex did.

"Bring her back to us, Winn." Kara tries to encourage me right before I fall into the dream-like state.

I look around, seeing a horrible sight. 

Dead bodies, flames, and ashes.

Tall buildings crushing down in the distance. The smell of burning wood filling the air.

I finally spot Skylar on her knees, with some man's head on her lap.

"Skylar..." I softly speak, trying not to spook her. 

"Winn." She cries out in disbelief, whipping her head behind her to look at me. She moves the man's head back on to the ground.

"I'm here." I start to walk closer to her.

"N-no.... you died." She stutters. I look at her in confusion.

"It's not real!" She screams, grabbing her hair at the roots and pulling it with fists.

"Hey, hey, calm down. I'm here, okay? I'm real. It's me. I came to bring you back home." I try to convince her that I am real.

"This already happened... you're going to attack me! Don't hurt me... please." She begs, her voice breaking at the last word.

"Skylar, listen to me! I am not here to hurt you! I can't force you to come back. You need to decide that for yourself." I attempt.

"You think I haven't tried?" She quietly mumbles, standing up.

"I've tried, over and over again! And it doesn't work. I always end up falling for a trap!" Skylar grunts angrily at me.

"You think you can fool me again? You've already shown me the worst things I've ever experienced. Why not just kill me?" She yells into the air.

"Sky-" I try and respond but she cuts me off.

"If it really is you, Winn, you need to bring me back. I'm going to die here, aren't I?" She walks over to me and grabs my shoulders. I see the fear in her eyes.
