Cisco Ramon was frozen, his jaw permanently stuck open or so it seemed. He was in a warehouse in an alternate universe surrounded by dead bodies and a monster with a face like death had just carried his best friend, bruised and bleeding, off into the night. And they had less than a day to get back home or they would be trapped in Earth Two forever, or for ever long they happened to live. He was so, so screwed.

His mind turned back to the letter he gave Caitlin before stepping through the breach. Did he say enough? Was a note really the last words his family would ever get from him? God, why didn't he go to see them? Whatever the relationship he'd had with his parents over the years, they still deserved more than what he was giving them.

Suddenly, Cisco was drawn out of his thoughts by a hand that clasped his shoulder. He wouldn't even be embarrassed to say he screamed. Zoom was creepy as hell, okay. But it was Iris who stood beside him. She stared at him, fear and rage clear on her face. He couldn't remember ever seeing her like that, so vulnerable and unguarded. But this wasn't the same Iris, he reminded himself. She was Earth Two's Iris West, the hot shot detective whose father died only hours before.

"We have to get out of here." He nodded reluctantly, his eyes falling on the Ronnie's motionless figure, lying face down on the cement floor. He knew like this other Iris, he wasn't the same Ronnie. Hell, he was even evil. But seriously, how many times did he have to see the guy he'd thought of as a brother die? Two times should have been enough and Ronnie on any earth deserved more than this.

As soon as Iris Two called for an ambulance and the CSI guys, she trundled Cisco into her police cruiser and sped away. He expected her to question him but already today she lost her father and her partner. She seemed desperate to get back to Barry at the police station. A lump formed in the back of Cisco's throat. How was he going to break this to her?

They walked in through the doors of the station with its gilded mural and Iris sprinted up to Barry's science loft. Cisco made to follow but as he reached the stairs, she was already coming down again. The look on her face sent chills down his spine. Her eyes swept the entire precinct before landing on Cisco.

"Where is he?" She gasped out the words. Cisco's mouth was suddenly very dry. She grabbed him by the front of his shirt.

"Where is Barry? Who the hell are you and what have you done with him?"

"Iris…"

"Don't you Iris me! You took us in there blind and Floyd is dead because of it. Now tell me where my husband is." Her voice was barely above a growl and in that moment Cisco would've killed to switch places with anyone in the world, even Barry.

"That wasn't Barry," he blurted out. "Or at least it wasn't your Barry."

"What?"

"I don't know how to say this so I'm just going to say it. I'm from another earth, another dimension. That's what Cait-Killer Frost was talking about when she said breachers. Barry, other Barry, and I came through a breach between your world and ours. That's why there were two 'me's. Apparently, the me from your world is evil but I'm not! I swear."

Slowly, Iris unclenched her fists from his shirt and let him go though her face remained skeptical.

"You've got to be kidding me. This is real life, not science fiction."

"Right, real life where people have super speed and fly and shoot ice out of their hands."

"Good point. But what do you mean that 'wasn't my Barry'? Where is my Barry?"

"The Barry you spent today with wasn't your Barry. He was my Barry, from my world. Where he's the Flash."

Iris's eyes nearly bugged out of her head.

"The Flash! He got a C in gym class."

"I know, he told me. But that guy in red, who Zoom took? That was Barry and we need to get him back."

"Okay," Iris stepped back and placed her hands on her hips, she looked at the floor, concentrating like she was already coming up with a plan. A surge of elation went through Cisco. Had he really convinced her? He really was better at smooth talking than he gave himself credit for. "I can help you but first things first. Where is my Barry?"

"Uh, locked in a closet somewhere in STAR Labs. I think."

Cisco probably deserved to get punched in the face for that.
