"Trying to close the breaches? That's like trying to solve Einstein's riddle. It's nearly impossible." I said as Harry turned to me, a blank expression on his face.

"I solved Einstein's riddle when I was ten." He said as I frowned.

"Okay, Mr. Know-It-All. Anything else you wanna run in our faces about your IQ of MegaMind?" I said with so much sarcasm it could kill a toad.

"Maybe Earth-2 Einstein wasn't as smart as ours." Cisco said as I nodded.

"You realize this Earth is my Earth-2, right?" Harry said as I rolled my eyes.

"Alright, listen. What if we can figure out how to control my powers? We could find Zoom, get the jump on him." Cisco said as I nodded in agreement.

"That's a good idea. You should get on that." Harry said as I raised my arms up and slapped them down, looking around in disappointment.

"Thanks for the help, Harrison!" I said as he nodded, turning around.

"You're welcome." He said sarcastically as I gasped.

"Hey! Sarcasm is me and Cisco's thing!" I said as Cisco sighed.

"We need your help, Harry." He said as Harry turned around.

"What you need, Ramen-"

"Ramon." Cisco corrected.

"What you need, is to figure out what triggers your vibes." Harry said as Cisco sighed again.

"Exactly, and I don't know what triggers them. It's completely inconsistent. Sometimes it's when I touch something that belongs to a breacher, sometimes it just happens." Cisco informed me and Harry as he huffed.

Cisco

"You saw when I tried to vibe Dr. Light, when I tried to vibe you, took a while to work." I said as Harry and Daisy nodded.

"Yes. Meet me in the Time Vault. Both of you." Harry said as me and Daisy frowned, looking at one another as Harry walked out.

"I don't trust this." She said as I nodded in agreement. With Harry, he was probably going to end up hitting one of us.

☀︎︎

Daisy and I walked down the halls to the Time Vault, Daisy putting her hand on the wall as the secret door opened, both of us walking into the dark room as it lit up.

"Harry?" She called out as I scoffed, shaking my head.

"Hello?" She called out again as I frowned.

"Of course, now he's gonna make us wait in this freaky-ass braille room." I said as she nodded.

"Hello." I let out a high pitched scream as Daisy leg out more of a deep yet high scream, my hand grabbing her arm as I froze up, flashes of blue light crossing my vision before I was in the dark, with lights around me.

"Daisy! We got him!" I heard Barry say as Daisy laughed in victory. I turned to see Daisy starting to walk up to Barry, both in their suits as Daisy smiled widely.

I gasped loudly, yelling when I saw a hand suddenly go through her chest. "DAISY!" Barry yelled before her body dropped. He just stood there in fear.

"I always. Win." And then Zoom was yelling, being dragged away by two terrifying monsters.

I gasped again, now back in the Braille room with Harry and Daisy, who looked at me in confusion. "You good Cisco?" She asked as I looked at her then Harry, smacking him.

"Don't do that!" I yelled, trying to play off like I didn't just witness my best friend die in front of me for the second time.

"I figured out your trigger. A rush of adrenaline. Dopamine floods the brain. And the quickest way to achieve that result..."

"Fear." Daisy and I said in unison.

"Well. I just witnessed to things that have me fearful of everything." I said as Daisy frowned in confusion before I shook my head. I was definitely not telling anyone about what I saw.

Daisy

"Well. If you say so." I said to Cisco as Harry already left. "I think I'm gonna check something first. You go ahead." I told Cisco as he shuddered and nodded, quickly leaving as the door closed behind him.

Sighing, I turned to the podium, walking up to it slowly as I placed my hand on it, Gideon showing up. "Hello Miss Agápi. It's been a while."

"That it has Gideon. Um.. can you show me that newspaper? From the future?" I asked as she nodded, her face disappearing as the future newspaper showed up. I sighed quietly, a small yet weak smile on my face knowing that nothing had changed.

Well, until I read the by-line.

"Iris West....Evans? Chris Evans? Holy shit does Iris marry Captain America?!" I said as a joke, even though j was panicking. Does something happen to me? Why was my name not on there anymore?

I shook my head free of the bad thoughts, quickly walking out of the Time Vault, but my mind was still racing as I caught up to Cisco.

"Do you think Iris is secretly dating Chris Evans?" I asked Cisco as he stopped and turned his head to me in confusion.

"What?"

"It's a serious question. Do you think she knows Chris Evans and isn't telling us?" I asked as. Is I laughed.

"If Iris West was dating Captain America I think we'd be the first to find out about it." Cisco said as I sighed and nodded.

"You're probably right. Do you think she knows anyone with the last name Evans?" Uh asked as Cisco made a babble noise.

"What is it with your sudden obsession with the last name Evans?" Cisco asked as I raised my hands up.

"Nothing! I got nothing with the last name Evans. So anyway... what did you vibe?" I asked as Cisco stopped walking again.

"I didn't see anything." He said as I frowned. Like I'd believe that.

"Cisco. What did you vibe?" I asked again as I went to put a hand on his shoulder, causing him to jump back.

"I said nothing just. Leave it there." Cisco said, putting his foot down and walking away, leaving me in the middle of the cortex, frowning after him.

Sighing, I followed after Cisco slowly, before I heard a panicking Barry.

"Where Daisy? Cisco have you seen her? Guys seriously I haven't seen Daisy since-"

"What's going on?" I asked as Barry snapped his attention to me, a relieved look on his face  as he ran up and hugged me tightly. "Barry are you okay?" I asked as he shook his head.

"No. No I'm not okay. Eobard he's-"

"He's back. I know." I said as everyone's eyes widened in shock, well. Except Caitlins. "He came to Joe's last night. That's why I was yelling. It's uh.. why I was acting weirder."

"And you didn't tell me? Why-why wouldn't you tell me he's back, Daisy?" Barry's aid as he had a look of betrayal on his face.

"Barry I was going to tell you when we got home." I whispered as he gulped and nodded, trying to keep down his questions. "I don't even know how he's back. I... I mean shouldn't he be erased from existence?."

"It's possible Eobard was in the Speed Force, protecting him like a bomb shelter, keeping him alive and his time line intact. It's what's known as a "time line remnant.'" Cisco informed us as I nodded slowly in somewhat of understanding.

"Time is... so confusing." I said as I rubbed my temple, Barry nodding in agreement. "Explain."

"Okay. Okay." Jay said as he walked up to the clear white board, grabbing a marker. "Okay. You see this?" He said as he drew a dot, everyone nodding. "This, is now. Here. Today... this." He drew another dot, far away from the first. "Is Thawne's timeline."

"Okay... sooo?" I said as Jay sighed, drawing a line between the two dots.

"This is the moment you all erased him from existence, but since Thawne is from the future, this is where his time line begins. That's why he's still alive. This Thawne has not yet traveled back in time to kill Barry's mother. He's here now in this time period for the first time." Jay said as I clicked my tongue.

"Time line remnant." I said as he nodded.

"Time line remnant." He repeated as I pressed my lips into an understanding smile.

"I get it now." Barry said quietly, only quiet enough for me to hear.

"It explains why nothing has changed." I said, crossing my arms as Barry nodded, me chuckling.

"Yeah, it also explains why he didn't know my name or that we have met before." Barry said as I stopped chuckling, turning to him.

"Wait... you said didn't know your name?" I asked as Barry looked at me and shook his head. "That.. that doesn't make sense. He showed up at Joe's and said your name and my name how- how does that make any sense?"

"I don't- I don't know." Barry said as he shrugged hand looked anyone.

I looked at the ground, deep in thought as I questioned why Eobard knew me and Barry's name when we interacted, but he didn't know our names when he interacted with Barry. Did he not know his face? Maybe that's why. But then how did he know my name?

None of this added up, but honestly, nothing has added up since I moved here.
