As if last week wasn't already a handful.

"You're telling me-" I began, "Barry's trapped in an false reality- in his mind?"

Caitlin nods, as I stared at her, "Is this something like Music Mister?"

Cisco was the one to speak next, "So far- all I've picked up on what Peter's abilities are- is that he can trap people in their own minds- in a alternate reality."

"So- Barry's stuck?" I ask, looking at him.

"Stuck-" Cisco began, "That would be a very strong word for this situation-"

I ignore the rest, marching down to the pipeline, staring right at Peter through his cell, "What the hell did you do to him?"

"I told you that you were in for one hell of a ride, Sweetheart." Peter smirks, completely relaxed.

"I asked you a question." I raise my voice, staring right at him.

"He's going to die, Zee." Peter stares at me, dead in the eye, his tone and expression changing, "You can't save him."

"You need to start talking now before I-" I began to threaten.

He cuts me off, "Alright, alright. Save the threatening for the husband."

I go completely silent, staring at him, awaiting an answer.

"My powers- I can basically trap someone in their own mind. I create the base of the reality of a perfect life for them- they have to imagine it- well- of course- with a few of my own details." Peter began, just opening up, knowing that this would kill Barry, "The more he falls into that reality- the faster he dies. Eventually- he's gonna die. And if you go in after him- you'll die right with him."

I stare at him, tears welling in my eyes, "Tell me how to save my husband."

"You can't." He shrugs.

"Haven't you had enough?" I ask, "Not even- a few days ago- you tried to kill everyone I cared for. And now you're after my husband. When are you gonna stop?"

"Now." Peter shrugs, "Because- Barry's death is guaranteed."

-

"Cisco-" I walk into the room the other were in, hours later, where Barry laid on a medical bed, wires connected to him, still knocked out, "Vibe me in there."

"You want me to vibe you where?" Cisco questions.

"Into Barry's mind." I told him, "Like- you did with Music Mister."

Cisco simply nods, not asking any further questions, grabbing his goggles and my hand, standing next to Barry, putting on his goggles, pressing his hand against Barry's shoulder.

And within a blink, I was standing in Barry's old home, where he once lived when he was younger, with Nora and Henry Allen.

I was stood by the doorway, as I hesitantly made my way further into the home.

"Barry?" My voice is quiet as I called into the house, my footsteps halting at the sound of someone's voice behind me.

"Who are you?" Henry Allen's voice fills my ears, my heart shattering at the sound, my body spinning as I turn to face him, my eyes landing on his figure.

"Henry?" Nora Allen walks over to him, placing a hand on his shoulder, "Is everything okay?"

My eyes land on Joe West, as he was seated on the couch, holding a cup of coffee, Barry Allen right next to him, a smile on his lips.

Once Joe's eyes land on me, he had gotten up and stood by Henry.

"Dad-" Barry's voice calls out, getting up, standing next to his parents, his voice softening once he lays eyes on me, "What's going on?"
