3rd Person POV

Iris, Barry, and Caitlin immediately run over to Mack's body on the ground and Caitlin flips over the young girl. "She's not breathing." Caitlin says, pushing her hair over her shoulder and starting chest compressions

"What?" Iris breathes in a whisper, kneeling down next to her daughter

"Barry, get over here." Caitlin says and he kneels down next to her

"Wha...what do I do?" Barry asks, his brain clouded by emotions for his daughter

"I need you to act as an AED." Caitlin tells him, continuing chest compressions. "You've done it a lot in the past. When I take my hands away from her chest, I need you to shock her."

"Alright." Barry whispers, rubbing his hands together and charging up his hands

"Ready?" Caitlin asks, not taking her eyes off of Mack on the ground

"Yea." Barry says

"Clear!" Caitlin orders, taking her hands away from Mack's body and Barry puts his hands on his daughter's chest, delivering a shock to her. Mack's body lurches slightly. Caitlin leans down to check. "Still not breathing." She tells the group

"Oh my god..." Iris whispers through tears, putting her head in her hands

Caitlin starts chest compressions again. "You're going again." She tells Barry. "Get ready."

Barry rubs his hands together to charge them. He looks down at his daughter with tears in his eyes and then looks at Caitlin who's composure is calm. He wonders how she's doing it. He wonders how she doesn't look like she's going to collapse any second from seeing Mack dying on the ground. Then, he remembers, she's a doctor. This has been her job for years. And despite having a deep connection with Mack, she knows she has a job to do and she cannot let emotion cloud her judgment. Barry closes his eyes and tries to calm his breath, trying to copy Caitlin's cool composure

"Clear!" Caitlin announces again. Barry opens his eyes, his breath now steady, and puts his hands on his daughter's chest. He delivers another shock and her body lurches forwards.

Mack wakes up on the floor of a glowing white room. She looks around, seeing absolutely nothing but whiteness around her. She pushes herself to a standing position, noting that she no longer has a cast on her arm or pain from injuries anywhere else

She rubs at her head as she looks around. "Hello?" She questions before clearing her throat. "Hello?" She says louder

Soon, the glowing white fades away and Mack finds herself standing in the living room of a house...one that looks unfamiliar. She looks around the living room to see the couch, the TV, the chairs, the dining room right next to it, and the fireplace crackling with flames

And then it clicks, this was Ronnie and Caitlin's house. The one Ronnie was going to put an offer in for about 6 months after him and Caitlin got engaged. The house that Ronnie took Mack to see about 10 times, making sure she liked it as much as he did before he was going to show it to Caitlin

Mack bites her lip upon hearing movement in the kitchen. "Ronnie?" She questions, her heart pounding in her chest. The movement in the kitchen stops. Mack takes a few steps closer. "Ronnie?" She asks again

Mack's heart almost flips out of her chest as a figure comes into view. He turns his head, looking at Mack and she locks eyes with her brother

"Ma...MacKenzie?" Ronnie asks in a whisper, holding a dish towel in his hand. Mack runs into Ronnie's arms, hugging him through tears as Ronnie stands speechless. A moment later, he throws the towel to the ground and embraces his little sister, tears of his own in his eyes. He pulls her to the chair, sitting her down while still hugging her before pulling away. "What...what are you doing here?" He asks her
