The Prevention
Of Dumbassery
Disclaimer: I don't know if anyone has done this or not, and the answer is probably not so I'm doing this instead. Long have I felt Jay was a huge dumbass for standing near that portal so this fixes that bit of dumbassery. Oh yeah, I own nothing but what you see here. Also, Barry and Patty are a thing and always will be in anything thing I write regarding season 2 and beyond. Cause screw them biting the dust for needless drama and other dumbass reasons.
Caitlin felt relief at seeing Barry back on their side of the portal as that meant they could finally close the final portal. Though her focus was immediately on Jay when she saw him still near the portal. Something that in her view just should NOT be done thank you very much! "Jay! I think its better for you to be over here." She called out to him.
Jay was understandably confused by that as he felt she may have been worried for nothing. Caitlin, seeing that look on his face immediately looked to Barry and told him to grab him. Barry was confused but quickly did it anyway much to Jay's confusion and a tiny bit of annoyance as he kind of felt that Caitlin was being worried for nothing. The Speedster took it a step further and brought him to the Portal Monitors that had been set up and Caitlin immediately came up there. "Caitlin, I really don't think that was necessary."
She gave him a look that said she felt otherwise. "Sometimes its better to be safer then sorry as you never know what could happen in situations like these." The good Doctor told him and he had to admit she made a darn good point.
And as if to prove said point, Zoom himself appeared but he only lasted a short time as the portal closed in on him. Unfortunately it did leave his arm behind and many of them present could swear they heard a howl of anguish from the Demonic Speedster as it finished closing. Cheers erupted after that as it meant they were safe from Zoom's tyranny even if Jesse was feeling greatly worried for those back on her Earth. She hoped that they could soon find a way to stop him before he did more horrible damage to Central City and possibly beyond it around the world. Caitlin gave Jay a smug look with a smile on her lips. "Okay, you were right. I will never doubt you again."
Cause holy crap was she right on the money with her worry! In response, Caitlin pulled him close to her and laid a kiss on him. One he was all too happy to return. Once they parted she gave him another smile again. "That's a good thing to hear Mr. Garrick and I will definitely hold you to that." She told him in a mix of serious and teasing and making him smile at her.
"Well it sounds like a challenge but I think I'm up to it."
That got him another kiss and a wolf whistle from Cisco. The happy couple rolled their eyes good naturedly at him before walking out of the room, arms wrapped around one another. Everyone else soon started to follow while making sure everything was okay and not wanting to bother with a severed arm at that point in time. They weren't sure if they were truly done with Zoom or not, but they would certainly try to prepare as much as possible in the event he did somehow return.
Author's Notes: Short, but I think it works. Will I do a follow up with this? Probably not as it was just something I felt like doing to work out my issues with Jay's dumbassery. R and R!
