Barry stared in horror at Jay, who had just come onto the roof. Zoom turned menacingly from Barry and towards the newcomer.
"Jay Garrick," Zoom intoned. "The Flash. Are you finally going to face your superior?"
"Not at all," Jay said, sounding ten times calmer than he actually felt. In reality, his heart was pounding so loudly that everybody in Central City could probably hear it. "I'm finally going to face you, Zoom."
The situation was so crazy that Barry almost laughed.
Zoom actually looked like he was smiling. "Glad to see your sense of humour didn't disappear along with your speed."
Jay felt like he'd been stabbed. The loss of his speed had hit him very hard.
Suddenly Zoom flashed over to him and hit him in the face, sending him down.
"No!" Barry screamed. "Leave him alone!"
Zoom took no notice, instead choosing to kick Jay in the stomach. Then he picked Jay up by his neck with just his left hand. Jay choked as his air supply was abruptly cut off.
"Now you die."
Zoom threw Jay over the side of the roof at the same time as Barry screamed Jay's name.
Jay managed to clutch hold of a metal flagpole that was protruding from the brickwork above one of the windows of the apartment building. He clung to it with both hands, knowing that this would be the only chance he would have to save himself from death.
Zoom loomed over him. "Still you refuse to die?"
As Barry watched the scene with horror, he was distracted by the door to the roof opening.
"What are you doing here?" he hissed to the person who had just come through.
Cisco put his index finger to his lips in a "shh" gesture. Barry knew exactly why Cisco was here but he furiously shook his head. He knew that Cisco was going to "Vibe" Zoom. The information gained would most likely be invaluable, but then so was Cisco's life.
Cisco ran at Zoom.
