"Cisco! Caitlin!" Barry yelled as he ran into the Cortex room with Alex in his arms. "You guys gotta get in here!"
"Barry, who is that? Why didn't you take him to the hospital?" Caitlin asked in alarm.
"Caitlin, I don't know who he is, but he said my name. My actual name." Barry stated. "And one of the robbers shot him in the head."
"What? How is he even alive?" Cisco asked in shock.
"I don't know." Barry said before setting Alex down on the hospital bed they had. "He just said my name, then moved me out of the way before the bullet could hit me."
Caitlin walked over to examine the wound, only to find a small blood stain, and no wound whatsoever. "Barry, he's fine."
"Wait, what?" Barry took a closer look, and his eyes widened when he saw that there was no wound. "I don't get it, I saw him get shot."
At that moment, Alex began to stir before he slowly opened his eyes as he groaned in discomfort.
"Uh, what happened?"
"You got shot." Cisco answered.
"I hate you, Cisco. Or Vibe. Whatever dumb nickname you've given yourself." Alex said in annoyance, making Cisco's eyes widened. "Vibe? Really? That's the best you can come up with? Next time, let people give themselves their own names."
"Okay, first off, I give great nicknames." Cisco said, obviously offended. "And second, how do you know who I am?"
"Yeah, how do you know us?" Barry asked.
Alex sat up. "Hold on, I need to figure out when this is. Did you meet Jay Garrick?"
"Uh, yeah." Barry answered in confusion.
"Did you find out that he's actually Zoom?"
"How do you know that?"
"Well, this is going to sound completely insane, even for you. I am not from this universe." Alex stated.
"What, you're from Earth 2?" Cisco asked.
Alex rolled his eyes. "Nope. Not at all. I come from a universe similar to yours. Cars, buildings, and certain machines. The main difference is we don't have superhumans. Or metahumans, as you call them."
"Wait, if no one has powers in your universe, then how did you get here?" Barry asked.
Alex shrugged. "I've asked myself that a few times when I was trying to find STAR Labs. I figured that if I found you, you'd help me get home. I mean, you're a pure hearted superhero."
"Okay. How did you know I would help? And more importantly, how do you know anything about us?" Barry asked.
"Simple. I come from an entirely different multiverse. In my universe, there's a fictional multiverse called the "DC Multiverse." Comics, movies, and TV shows of superheroes." Alex explained.
"What does that have to do with anything?" Cisco asked in confusion.
Barry and Caitlin exchanged a look, then Caitlin looked at Cisco.
"Cisco, I think he means that our multiverse is the DC Multiverse."
Joe rubbed his head. "So, let me get this straight. You're from a universe where all this is just a show?"
Alex nodded. "Yeah, pretty much."
"I imagine that you know almost everything about us?" Stein asked.
Alex sighed. "Not everything about you. No offense, but the show you're in isn't my favorite. Neither is Oliver's show "Arrow."
Oliver nodded. "Arrow, huh? Alright, so, what do you know about us?"
"Well, I know some things about you. Most of what I know is about Barry and everyone in this show "The Flash." One of my only favorites. And I gotta say, Barry, you're different from a lot of your other counterparts, and I'm talking about the ones who are Flashes in animated series or movies." Alex said.
"Wait, there are other universes where I'm the Flash?" Barry asked in surprise.
"Well, duh." Alex replied, as if it was obvious. "I mean, before this show, I think there were other animated shows that had you as the Flash, and a lot of comic books. I saw a scene from one of the first movies or shows of you, but it was terrible. The graphics and all that. Although, there's this great movie called "Justice League." It has, Batman, who's basically Oliver's equal. There's Wonder Woman, an Amazon Warrior, and maybe a goddess. I need to look into that. There's also my favorite, Superman. And there's you. The Flash, just a different appearance, not a CIT until the end of the movie, and he doesn't have Team Flash."
"Wait, Barry doesn't have us?" Cisco asked.
"Nope, and I think it's better that way." Alex stated. "In Season 3, you're a real selfish asshole, Cisco. Barry goes back in time to save his mother, then resets it when he realizes what he did, then your brother dies."
"Wait, what?" Cisco asked in alarm.
"Oh, shut up, Cisco. I mean, you practically wanted Dante gone. And it's your fault Barry was driven to going back in time. Henry died, and instead of being there for Barry, you lock him up because you think he's too vengeful. I've never seen anyone so selfish. Only Oliver is the good guy, the rest of you are just Barry's true enemies sometimes." Alex sighed. "That's why the Barry in Justice League is better. No selfish and pitiful excuses of friends to get in the way of everything and always whine."
"Okay, come on, you said Dante died because of me, so Cisco has a right to be bad." Barry said in his friend's defense.
"That's what I'm talking about, Barry!" Alex exclaimed. "You gotta find real friends, because everyone here will turn into a weakness for you. Only Oliver seems to be your real friend. When everyone was mad at you, it's like they thought they wouldn't have done the same, that they wouldn't been better. Then, aliens come around and Cisco makes everything worse."
"What, what'd I do?" Cisco asked in surprise.
"Well, being a real asshole, you go back in time with a team called the Legends to capture one of these aliens, then you free the alien from the government." Alex replied, glaring at him. "You were mad at Barry for something you would've done, then you just decide that it's okay for you to mess with time. The aliens then create a bomb meant to destroy all metahumans, and it'll kill at least two million normal humans if I'm correct."
"Okay, just stop!" Barry yelled. "Look, I know you don't like Cisco, but I'm sure he didn't know."
"I don't think it would've made much of a difference, Barry." Alex replied. "See, that's the thing. The team, especially Caitlin and Cisco, blame you for wrecking their lives and leaving them to pick up the pieces, but as far as I'm concern, what happened to them could be considered their punishment. Hell, the Speed Force, a sentient primordial energy could've stopped you from going back, but it didn't, because unlike everyone in this room, except Oliver, it understood why you did what you did."
"But Cisco losing his brother? Do you really think he deserves that?" Barry asked.
"Did those people who were killed by both the Particle Accelerator and the metahumans deserve to die?" Alex glared at Caitlin. "The way you snapped at Barry, it's like you've forgotten what you did. Murdering so many people."
"We didn't know the Particle Accelerator would explode." Caitlin said in her defense.
"And Barry didn't know what would happen if he went back in time!" Alex snapped. "You may have become Killer Frost, but if you weren't so weak, you could've resisted. Then again, I pretty sure you meant what you said." He looked at everyone in the room. "And have you all considered the possibility that everything was already messed up? I mean, Eobard went back in time to kill Barry, but ended up killing Barry's mother. That wrecked the timeline, and by going back to save his mother, Barry practically fixed it."
"You don't understand -" Harry tried to say.
"Shut up." Alex cut him off. "Just shut up. You... You're the worst. You created the metahumans, you thought you were so big. Zoom may have not been a hero, but he was right about you. You're no better than the Reverse Flash. Not even close."
The stress he was feeling became too great, so he immediately stormed out of the room, shoving Diggle out of his way.
Author's Note: I'm gonna be honest. That's exactly how I feel about Cisco, Caitlin, and Harry. Why is it that they aren't as forgiving to Barry as he was to them? After all, he just wanted his mother back. Cisco and Caitlin killed so many innocent people. Neither of them knew what would happen, and what gave Cisco, Caitlin and everyone else the right to be angry at Barry? Seriously, I believe Cisco losing his brother and Caitlin becoming Killer Frost were their punishments.
