"Barry? Barry, what's happening out there? Come, on, Barry, talk to me!" Cisco Ramone was tracking a red dot on the computer screen, a red dot moving at speeds previously thought impossible. The Flash. Right now, the red dot was stationary, at an old warehouse out by the docks, and Barry hadn't said anything in a while. Cisco was starting to worry that something had gone wrong, that Barry was hurt, or that-

"Cisco, I finished the perimeter check, I can't spot her. She's probably hiding somewhere inside. Think I should go in just yet?" Cisco breathed a soft sigh of relief as he realized he'd simply forgotten to zoom in on Barry's exact location on the map, so it had only looked like he wasn't moving. He quickly rectified his error and took a good look at the layout of the warehouse. It didn't look great, lots of smaller rooms and office cubicles for people to hide in. Still, as long as Barry was careful…

"Okay, looks like the most likely hiding place is a small office on the other side of the building. There are a lot of other rooms and dark corners, though, so keep an eye out. And be careful, Barry. We don't know exactly how her powers work, including how she affects people."

"Got it."

Cisco knew that Barry would be as careful as was possible, but he couldn't shake that lingering feeling that something was off, wrong. Still, he felt nervous like this every time Barry went up against a new metahuman. It was probably nothing, and he needed to focus on the screen. On the other hand, the last time he ignored a feeling like this… No, that wasn't going to happen again. This time he was ready, this time he had more experience. This time, nobody would get hurt.

His attention snapped back to the screen as Barry's voice came over the speakers.

"Summer? Summer West, right? Summer, I know you're scared, and I know that it feels like the end of the world, but I can help you, okay? Okay, I was affected by this thing too. Come with me, I know a place where you can be safe, where you can learn to use your powers and control them."

Cisco could hear the girl crying over the commlink. She screamed as Barry apparently took a step forward.

"Don't come near me! I'm dangerous, I don't want to hurt anyone! Stay away from me!" she started crying again. "So many people. I hurt so many people. I'm a monster. I'm a monster and I don't deserve to live." Cisco heard the unmistakable sound of a gun being cocked, and the burst of quiet static that accompanied Barry's super-speed.

"Cisco, I'm bringing her to STAR labs, she tried to kill herself! I'm about ten seconds out."

"Hurry! We don't know how her powers work, she could end up hurting herself and you."

About five seconds later, a blurred streak of red zipped into the room Cisco had dubbed the medbay, quickly coalescing into the familiar form of the Flash. The girl they had been looking for, Summer West, was about 18 years old, and she was currently sleeping almost peacefully, having simply passed out from the shock. Doctor Caitlyn Snow would have normally been here, too, but she was visiting some old friends in Star City for the week, so it was just Cisco and Barry at the lab. Cisco ran some basic scans, but that was all he knew how to do without Caitlyn. Still, she seemed to be fairly okay at the moment.

About ten minutes after that, Summer started twitching a bit, like she was having a nightmare. A soft whimper escaped her mouth, alerting Cisco to the fact that something was wrong. As the nightmare got worse, Cisco tried to wake her up, but she wouldn't respond. He could hear her talking to someone in her dream.

"No, please! Not again. I don't want to see that again. No. No, Not again! Please!" A piercing scream echoed a bit in the room as whatever was happening in her dream pushed her past her own limits, and Cisco heard another scream from somewhere in the building. Summer woke up, breathing hard and crying. "I can't even control my own dreams. I can't stop hurting people."

Well, that didn't sound good.

"What do you mean 'you can't control your dreams'? Summer?"

"I get these really weird nightmares sometimes. Except, they're not my nightmares. I've never seen the scenes in them before. And usually, right after I have one, a patient shows up in the hospital in a coma, or babbling almost incoherently about their worst memories, things they'd been suppressing for years. Things that happened in my nightmares."

"Alright, what did you see this time?"

"Not much. You were in it, but I'm pretty sure you were dead, and there was a girl. Caitlyn. And then there was… this wormhole thing, and a guy on fire, but he wasn't getting hurt. And a lot of lightning. Red lightning. And Harrison Wells. Then there was another guy… " She looked up at Cisco. "Who's Ronnie?"
