"It's finished," Dr. Wells exclaimed.

He had been working diligently at replicating the particle accelerator explosion for months, in hopes that it would restore Barry's powers. Everyone was ecstatic over the completion except Iris. She stood watching as they hugged, clapped, and marveled over the miracle machine. They were overjoyed at the possibility of restoring his speed and overlooking the real fact that he could die. Her Barry, the love of her life, could cease to exist, all in the name of saving central city. Knowing it was selfish, she didn't want him to go through with it. She was vehemently against him risking his natural life for anyone. He didn't know it, but she loved him immensely. It was one thing to fight as The Flash because he had powers, which gave him a winning chance, but this was potential suicide. It was certain death if anything went wrong, and let's face it things always went wrong. This was her last chance to plead her case, "Barry can I speak with you?" she said. The crowd stopped and stared at Barry waiting for his response. They didn't have to wait long because in an instance they were hand in hand walking out of S.T.A.R. Labs.

They made their way to Granite Peak National Park in a comfortable silence. Twigs snapped in the distance. The leaves rustled as the cool dew settled on them. Wind swirled around her gently blowing her hair. Contentment consumed her body stilling her nerves. The words "Barry, I love you," fell from her lips tantalizing his ears one syllable per millisecond. When the full weight of her acknowledgement settled upon him, he reached forward caressing her face.

"I have waited 131,400 hours 1439 minutes, and 27 seconds to hear you say those words, Iris." I want to kiss you so bad right now, but a part of me wants to just breathe it in. Iris West loves me back." He stared lovingly into her eyes as his lips descended on her, closing them when he felt the warmth drawing closer. He could feel the expedited pace of their beating hearts and hear the hitch of her breath. Their lips touched sending a million jolts of electricity through his body and he knew there was no chance of him ever loving another. No matter what obstacles they face, they would face them together forever and always.

Barry felt himself being ripped from Iris's embrace. With no powers, he was useless to stop it.

"You're coming with me Flash or should I just call you Barry.

You, he said pointing at a startled Iris. Tell Dr. Wells I know about his particle accelerator. It won't work without Barry to experiment on." Zoom said.

"BARRY NOOO," she screamed, but it was useless. Zoom had taken him and there was nothing she could conceivably do about it in that moment. She doubled over crying for the loss of Barry vowing to do anything she could to save him from zoom's clutches.

Desperate and compelled to save the love of her life, she pulled herself together heading for S.T.A.R labs. The Flash team will know what to do, she thought. She ran into a ransacked deserted S.T.A.R. labs looking for their friends, but no one was in the control room. She ran erratically through the corridor looking for a sign of Wells, Cisco, Jesse, anyone. They had to help her find a way to get Barry back from Zoom before the Psychopath ended him. She stormed down the curved hallway stopping just beyond the examination room door. She heard them talking before she was in full view.

"Jess I don't want to hear it, you're staying with me. Zoom has Barry and I need you safe. I was able to siphon a trace amount of the speed force before zoom took it. I'm going to use the sample and particle accelerator to get Barry back. Then together we can defeat Zoom." Wells said.

An inaudible sigh escaped her lips as she tapped her head soundlessly against the wall. What was she to do about this situation? Could she trust Wells to help Barry or would he be the selfish monstrosity his earth 1 doppelganger was? No, she thought. She had to do this for Barry. It was the only way to ensure Barry's interests were priority.

They felt the tremors throughout the Central city. If the 4 mile radius blackout was any indication of trouble, then the fried wires surrounding S.T.A.R labs spelled anxiety. Cisco and Detective West entered the building on high alert. "Cisco, get behind me," he said with his weapon drawn. He wasn't sure of who he was meeting, but he had an inkling Zoom was involved. They jumped when the power suddenly turned on. The backup generators had finally kicked in with a startling thud.

They looked around the seemingly vacated layer looking for any sign of life. "DR. WELLS," Cisco screamed. After a minute they heard a faint, "in here" in the distance. They walked into the Dr. Wells work space to find Iris passed out on the table. "Speak fast," Detective West warned running over to Iris examining her. He checked for a pulse, but couldn't find one. "Iris honey, wake up," he said. Shaking her body did nothing to wake her from her fallen state.

Dr. Wells along with the remaining Flash team stood around them in silence. Dr. Wells grabbed the remote playing back the surveillance footage. They watched as a frantic Iris ran through his work space desperately searching for something. She found a vial, opened it and injected herself with something. Immediately after she race to the Particle accelerator, set the timer, and she strapped herself in. You could see her lips moving, but you couldn't make out the words. As the machine warmed up it vibrated and electric bolts shot from end to end. Her hair seemed to puff and frizz as she visibly screamed in perceived agony. Then the screen went dark.
