The group met up that night at the local bar, Saints and Sinners, to celebrate Caitlin's birthday. "Here's to another great year of friendship," Barry said, holding up his glass in cheers with the rest of the group. After to getting to know each other a little better, the group began to break off into sections. Barry and Iris moved closer to the bar while Alex and Cisco relocated to a pool table to play a round.
"I think I'm going to need some fresh air," Caitlin slurred with a giddy giggle, standing from her chair.
"Do you want me to come along?" Harry offered, slightly concerned at how intoxicated she had become.
Caitlin waved off his gesture, "I'll be fine. The Flash is in here," she laughed again before she stumbled out of the bar.
She stood outside, leaning against the wall, when a young man progressed in her direction.
"Hey pretty lady," he called, "Why are you out here all by yourself?"
Caitlin looked over and shook her head, "I'm not. My friends are inside, thank you."
The man wasn't deterred as he stepped closer, running his hand down her arm, "They let you come out here all by yourself?" he questioned, "Those don't sound like very good friends to me. Let me warm you up, Sweetheart," he advanced before wrapping his arm around her shoulders.
Caitlin did her best to shake off his motion, "No, I'm really ok," she objected.
Lexie was walking up the street to Saints and Sinners after Zoom told her the Flash would be there when she saw a woman trying to get away from an over zealous suitor. 'Not tonight,' she thought to herself before she looked up to the sky, her eyes glowing blue before storm clouds moved in and a thunderstorm began just over top of the bar. She raised her hand and circled her finger in the air, summoning a tornado which she brought down to the ground and allowed it only to grab the man and take him up into the air. As soon as he was gone, Lexie looked back down and the skies returned to normal.
"Are you ok?" she asked the girl as the door to the bar opened and three men and two more women came out.
"Guys, did hear that? Maybe harsh gusts of wind?" Alex asked after pulling Cisco along over to where Harry had joined Iris and Barry. They looked around to find Caitlin still gone from the group.
"Where is Caitlin?" Iris asked, still looking around the bar. Harry sat up a bit.
"She said something about getting some fresh air," he replied, everyone remaining silent. They gave each other worried looks before they all rushed outside.
"Back away from her," Barry threatened when they reached the street and saw Alex's doppelganger standing next to Caitlin.
Caitlin put her up hands, "No, guys," she protested, "This girl just saved me from a handsy gentleman. She swept him up in a tornado. Cisco, should we call her Twister?"
Cisco shook his head, "She already has a name and she was probably just trying to gain your trust so she could get to the Flash. Isn't that right, girl who looks just like my girlfriend?" he added with a confused voice.
Lexie laughed, "I did come here to kill the Flash but I will not stand for women being toyed with by evil, insignificant men," she replied before she noticed Alex and walked up to her, running her finger down her cheek, "You're very pretty aren't you, my dear?"
Alex flinched as she pulled her face away from her doppelganger, "Why would you want to kill the Flash? If you can stand up for innocent women you must have some sort of consciousness," she noted, worry lining every word.
"Because she'll do whatever Zoom tells her to do even though she knows what he's doing is wrong," Harry expressed as he stepped forward.
Lexie faltered momentarily before she looked up, "Harrison Wells? Did you come here to help them stop Zoom?" she asked as she paced forward and ran a single finger down his chest before removing her touch, "I don't always do what he asks but when my own life is on the line, I tend to listen."
Harry sighed as he looked away from her, causing the group to feel uncomfortable, "Zoom needs to be stopped and the Flash on this Earth can do it so yes, I came over here to help," he explained, "You can be apart of that too. You haven't done anything unforgivable. It's not too late to turn over a new leaf," he pleaded.
"With your help, we could stop him together then you can go back home to Earth-2 and go back to living your life," Barry spoke up, trying to reason with the meta.
"Your offer sounds very tempting," Lexie replied, "But, unfortunately, Zoom wants me dead if the Flash isn't killed so I don't really have many options. He's too fast and too strong, how could this team even hope to protect me?"
"You know I would do everything in my power to keep you safe," Harry said, his voice quiet but everyone heard what he said.
Lexie smiled as she looked up at him, "My dear, sweet, Harrison, you know things between us never work out but if you want to try to work together, I am open to the idea," she added, directing her attention from Harry back to the group, "I am not a murderer so I'd prefer not to start now," she confessed, showing vulnerability.
Everyone stared in shock at the exchange between Lexie and Harry before Harry cleared his throat, knocking everyone back to their senses.
"Oh right, you should come back to STAR Labs with us. We can set something up," Barry said to Lexie.
