Episode 33 - Flash Fanfiction - The docs alive

Chapter 4

"Let me get this straight... we're going to get the attention of the guys who tried to recruit us in our own world... Who we fought to avoid joining... just so we can join them?" Cisco asked the group.

"Actually, it's the mirror version doubles of the guys... but yeah, that's pretty much it." Barry replied.

"Remember, we're not actually joining them, Cisco... We need them to get us into their base so we can find Harry... and then we can breach and speed on out of there." Astrid explained.

"No, I don't like it... Couldn't we just go back in time and warn Harry before he sacrificed himself?" Cisco directed his question over at Barry.

"No!" Barry, Caitlin, and Astrid said in unison.

"If you would prefer to stay here, that can be arranged." Cisco's mirror double told him. "We don't need anyone who will prove to be a risk for this mission."

"I'll pass. Besides, if it is our Harry... I guess he'll be happy to see me... Otherwise, he'll be the first to kill us. I'm also pretty keen on finding out what sort of spaceship the Overmaster has..." Cisco replied.

"Spaceship, Cisco?" Caitlin asked.

"Harry said he was some sort of celestial being from another planet... therefore, he must have traveled to earth in something from his own planet... Do you think it's more orb-like from ET or a little more funny looking like on 'The Day the Earth stood Still'? I wonder what the control panel would..."

"Cisco, you need to focus!" his mirror double snapped at him.

"Hey, don't yell at him!" Astrid demanded. "If it weren't for the fact that you guys knew where the Overmaster is located, we would be going without you."

"You guys!" Barry added in, "We're wasting time here. We have the plan and if we don't hurry we could be in trouble. Caitlin are you sure that you're going to be okay with the undercover work?"

Caitlin, who had barely spoken to Barry for a while now decided to take her friends' advice and give him a chance. "I'm not sure, but if I mess up, I can trust that you or Cisco will be able to get me out of there."

Barry nodded, "I have faith that you'll be fine, Caitlin." He gave her a hug.

"We're wasting our time!" the mirror version of Cisco said. "Let's just get this over with. We'll breach over to the Ferris Air Testing Facility and get as much attention as possible. You comin' Astrid?" he asked Astrid's mirror double.

"If you don't mind... I'd rather stay here. I've got a really bad feeling about something. I just can't shake it. I'd love for you to stay too." She replied.

"You know that I can't do that. But, do as you wish... I won't force you to join us." He breached the rest of them over to their location.

They stood on the abandoned runway. It was nighttime. In the distance, they could see the Overmaster's ship. It resembled a light up spinning top.

"Is anyone else hearing the original War of the Worlds soundtrack right now, or is that just me?" Cisco asked the group.

"What are you talking about?" his mirror double asked him.

"You know... War of the worlds? Done by Jeff Wayne in 1978? Seriously? Not even a smile... man, you are a tough one." Cisco said annoyed.

"So what do we do, now?" Caitlin asked.

"We get their attention." Astrid said, "and we pray that our Harry is on that thing... otherwise, everything DR Fate and Harry did for us would be for nothing."

"You mean your father..." Barry said.

"Harry's your father?" the mirror version of Cisco asked them, confused.

"No, Dr Fate is." Cisco replied.

"But, that would mean..."

"Shh, you guys... I have a link with the Overmaster." Astrid told her friends. 'We're willing to work with you... I believe you will be impressed with the skills we have to offer.' She instructed of the alien being who had created the Cadre.
