"Is this really your goal? To corrupt Barry more?" I ask her, as I already knew I was going to be the one who would take it and Joe wouldn't like it at all.

She shrugs, "I've always wanted to kill my doppelganger anyway."

I glare at her, "Why does it have to be this way? Why can't you just get it over with?"

"Because this is more fun." She spoke, "I mean- who knows. You could be selfish- and make Joe drink it. Both Joe's of both Earth's dead. Now that would be a major plot twist. A good story for an article." She shrugged.

"You know- damn well- I'd never let Joe take that." I spat at her, my fist hitting the glass hard, causing me to gasp and jump back, shaking my hand lightly to try and shake away the growing pain in my knuckles.

"Do I hear an answer?" She questions.

"Give it to me." I spoke up, standing up straight, my palms pressed against the glass, "I'll take it."

A smirk forms on Reign's lips as Joe is quick to speak, "No- no you're not."

"Joe- this is not your decision to make." I told him.

"You sound just like Barry." Joe exclaimed, as I slowly nod in agreement.

"I know- but I can't afford to watch Barry- lose another parent figure. Iris- I can't let her lose you- Wally can't lose you. He lost his mother- he can't lose you too." I sigh, taking a deep breath.

"Barry can't lose the love of his life-" Joe tried to argue, "You have so much more life to live."

I shake my head, as Reign calls Jay over, having him phase into the cage and hand me the vial, before phasing out, standing next to his sister.

"Barry knows you're here too." Jay told me, "He's going to be in for a shock when he realizes you won't be with him for long."

I stay silent, before popping open the vial, staring at the dark liquid that rested in it.

"Zee!" Joe shouts my name as I looked at him, slowly raising the top to my lips, tipping it upward, letting the bitter liquid slip down my throat, my eyes squeezing shut at the venomous taste.

"No!" Joe shouts, as I set the vial down, on the floor, seating myself down, coughing lightly.

I tune Joe's shouts out, as I stare at the forming bruise on my hand, a sour look on my face due to the venomous taste remaining on my tongue, as we both awaited til the race.

"Brought the whole crew with you, huh?" Jay calls Barry out when he rushes Joe and I to where the race would happen, my eyes falling upon the huge machine they were about to race on, "Can't say I blame ya."

"Dad!" Wally called, trying to get to Joe but Iris is quick to hold him back.

"It's going to be one hell of a show." Jay grabs my arm, as I forcefully pull my arm from him, his gaze falling on me, my handcuffs hitting together, making sound.

"Don't touch me." I seethed through gritted teeth, as his eyes grow darker as he grabs my forearm, holding onto my arm, his grip tightening, as I felt myself on my tippy toes due to him slightly lifting me up, whimpering in pain.

"Don't you dare hurt her." Barry threatened, stepping closer, "Let them go."

"After we race." Jay stated.

"Cut the crap, we know you plan to power up the Magnetar so you can destroy the multiverse." Harry spoke, his gun aimed right at Jay.

"Bravo, you figured it out. Almost. I don't want to destroy all of it. This Earth is at the center of the multiverse. It's the access point to every other Earth in existence. One trans-dimensional shock wave and poof." Jay explained.
