Night had settled in Central City, the darkness loomed overhead as Y/N and Barry took cautious steps into Zoom's base of operations, they were met by several masked men, more than likely people Zoom hired for protection.

Y/N turned and met Barry's eyes, they were both on edge, and it showed. Barry nodded slightly to Y/N in an attempt to show her that they were going to be okay. They would make it through this just like they always had.

The two speedsters were led down a long hallway before they entered a large warehouse, then their eyes landed on Zoom.

Y/N's heart was pounding nearly out of her chest, little did she know, so was Barry's. Zoom had been a threat to both of them for so long, tonight was no different.

"Masks off," Zoom demanded.

Y/N and Barry complied as they removed their masks as they stood before Zoom. Zoom waved over two of his men, they knocked both speedsters down to their knees before him...making them both completely vulnerable...

Zoom removed his mask to reveal his face, Y/N and Barry knew his real name, Hunter Zoloman, and sadly, he knew their names too...

Barry tried to stand up only to be interrupted by Hunter, "Not so fast, Flash. Tonight you play by my rules, or maybe I'll just release that gas you're so afraid of," he warned.

Barry sighed as he went back to his knees, he was surrendering before his enemy.

Hunter smiled as both Barry and Y/N surrendered to his threats, "Take your comms out," Hunter ordered.

Again, Y/N and Barry complied as they pulled their comms from their ears and handed them off, both of Hunter's men crushed the devices right in front of the heroes.

"I was worried you two wouldn't show again," Hunter mentioned. "It's funny what a threat will make people do."

"Your threat was going to kill thousands of people," Barry cut in.

Hunter's jaw tensed, anger showed clearly in his eyes. "Now that's not very nice."

"Yeah?" Barry questioned. "Well, neither are you."

Hunter didn't hesitate as he ran forward and wrapped his hands around Y/N's neck tightly.
Y/N struggled against his grip, but she soon realized that if she fought Hunter, he would only release the gas and cause more trouble. She quickly relaxed ever so slightly, stopping her struggles as Hunter kept a tight grip around her throat.

Hunter turned to face Barry, Y/N in front of him. Barry took cautious steps forward as Hunter held Y/N by her neck, his arm wrapped tightly around it, cutting off her airway.

"Let her go, Zoloman," Barry told Hunter. "This fight, it's between you and me, it has nothing to do with her...so let her go," Barry pleaded.

Hunter smiled slightly, "It's Hunter," he corrected before he began laughing, "Oh, the things you wouldn't do for your family. Barry Allen, the family man," he taunted. "First your mother, then your father, and now your wife, I wonder who's next," he chuckled.

Y/N struggled against his grip once more, but her struggles only resulted in him tightening his grip on her. Y/N could see the hurt in Barry's eyes, and so did Hunter, he knew that he was striking a nerve within Barry, that he was truly hurting him, and that's why he kept persisting.
