In this story Barry had Cisco create a phone that could be used on any earth, so he could speak to them wherever he was. The beginning of this chapter will be like the recent episode of the flash (Season 2 Episode 18) beware there may be some spoilers to that episode on what happened.

Chapter 3
(Barry's POV)
As I stand here in front of Zoom, I have no idea what to do. I can either give up my powers and leave this earth at the mercy of Zoom or Let Wally blow up and possibly have a chance to kill Zoom. I was desperately trying to think of another scenario, but nothing was coming to mind.
"So are we going to do this or not" Zoom said, obviously losing his patients.
I knew I had to make a choice, I just hoped it would be the right one.
"OK, I will give you my powers but you have to take the bomb off of him" I replied.
I walked over to the advanced treadmill that was originally to test my speed, and stepped on it. Taking a deep breath I started to run and slowly got faster. After about 10 seconds I began to slow down, and when I finally stopped I collapsed to the ground out of breath and weak. Caitlin rushed to my side and helped me up. Dr. Wells, who didn't look like he liked the idea of me giving up my powers, grabbed the tube that contained my powers and brought it to where Zoom was standing with Wally.
"Take the bomb collar off of him and this is yours." Dr. Wells demanded.
In the blink of an eye the collar was off of Wally's neck and he pushed Wally towards Joe. Joe pulled his son behind him and stood directly in between Wally and Zoom. Dr. Wells tossed the tube to Zoom and when Zoom caught it he immediately injected it into himself. We all started to back away when it started to take effect. When he finally stopped moving he looked right at me with an evil glint in his eyes, and before I even knew what was happening I was pinned up against a wall. Zoom was holding me up by my throat and it was beginning to get difficult to breath.
I was starting to see stars when Caitlin spoke up, "Stop! don't hurt him. If you cared about me at all you would put him down."
Zoom released his hold on my neck and I slid down the wall coughing and trying to regain the ability to breath normally. I looked up to see Zoom looking directly at Caitlin, he then took a quick glance back at me before using his super speed to grab Caitlin and leave Star Labs. Cisco ran to the door yelling her name but it was to late she was probably already half way across the world by now.
I stood up still feeling kind of dizzy so I grabbed onto the wall and leaned against it. What did I do, I just watched Zoom take Caitlin and there was nothing I could do about it. I looked over to where Cisco sat at his desk typing away, no doubt trying to find a way to track down where Caitlin was. Dr. Wells had already walked out of the room out of disappointment to giving up my powers, Joe and Wally were leaving as well, going home to the crime scene that was left by Zoom.
I walked over to where Cisco was sitting typing on his computers, and I took a seat next to him. Cisco and I proceeded to try and come up with a plan to locate and get Caitlin back from Zoom. It would probably be a difficult task without my powers, but I felt responsible for her being taken, so I got right to work thinking up a plan to beat Zoom.
It has already been 24 hours since Caitlin was taken by Zoom, Cisco didn't sleep at all. I had dozed off with my head on the desk for an hour and a half but when I woke I got right back to work. Joe had brought us food, but we didn't really eat. neither of us had come up with any good ways to get her back and I was starting to doubt that there was a possible way.
My phone started to vibrate, deciding it wouldn't make a difference if I stopped working for a couple minutes I decided to see who it was. When I looked down at the screen I saw a text from Kara, I smiled at the text she sent,
Kara - 'Hey, how's the superhero business?"
I didn't know how to tell her that I didn't have my powers, she might not want to go out with me if I didn't have them. But then again, Kara was different, she was the most beautiful and accepting person I have ever met.
Then I had an idea. If I could get Kara over to this earth she may be able to help us get to Zoom's earth and get Caitlin back, and possibly my powers.
Barry - 'Can your friends at the DEO help build a device like the one that was on my chest when I arrived on your planet?'
Kara - 'Ya, although I am not sure how to describe it to them so they can build it'
Barry - 'I will send schematics, and it needs to be built right away'
Kara - 'Is there something wrong?'
Barry - 'Yes, I need you to come to my earth. I lost my powers and there is still a threat that can't be stopped by humans without special abilities'
Kara - 'Send over the schematics, and as soon as it is built you will need to guide me on how to get there'
Barry - 'Already sent'
I turned to look at Cisco, with a smile on my face. not only was it because I got to talk to Kara, it was also because I may have just figured out a way to stop Zoom once and for all.
(Kara's POV)
After receiving the blueprints from Barry I sent them to Alex. I was rushing out of my office when I bumped into Dana,
"Sorry Dana, is Mrs. Grant in her office?" I quickly asked
"ummm.. Yes, I was just going to get her a coffee. Would you like one?"
I was still in a hurry so I quickly responded, "No thank you"
I practically ran to Mrs. Grant's office, pausing at the door to make sure I wasn't going to interrupt anything. When I saw Mrs. Grant looking at proofs, I made my way into her office.
"Mrs. Grant, could I possibly take a week off, I have some family matters I need to take care of they are urgent."
Mrs Grant looked at me briefly before looking back at the proofs before answering, "Yes, that should be fine, I no longer require your assistance full time so that should be alright."
I was a little shocked by her answer, I was prepared to beg for the days off. But seeing as I did not need to beg I just thanked her and left the office.
I flew to the DEO, where Alex was already working on the blueprints I had sent over to her. When I arrived I walked into her lab where she was working on the device.
"Hey, thank you for doing this" I said walking to the opposite side of the table directly in front of her.
She looked up from the device and leaned against the desk behind her, "Why am I making this thing, and I know you got it from someone else because you would not be able to come up with this on your own. No offence."
"If you must know it is from Barry, he has requested my help with a matter on his earth and it is urgent, so I need that thing to get to his earth." I replied
Alex stopped working and looked up at me, "He is from a parallel earth?" she asked in disbelief placing the tools she was using on the table.
"Ya sorry I forgot to mention that part, when you were finding Jeremiah he accidentally arrived on this earth, I helped him get back after he helped me defeat Livewire when she escaped. On his earth they refer to him as the Flash."
Alex started working on the device again, "Well, how long will this visit take?"
"I have gotten the week off from work, so possibly a week" Alex looked up from the device to stare at me. "What?"
"What if a fort roz escapee is loose and we need you back?' She asks putting down the tools they were in her hands.
"We were taking those aliens down long before I came to the DEO you will be fine for a week. How long will it take to make that thing?"
Alex shook her head before going back to work on the device, "A couple hours without constant pestering"
I took that as a hint to leave her to build the device. I headed out into National city to see if there was anyone that needed help. I was not totally focused due to the fact that Barry had lost his powers and was in trouble.
A couple hours later, after helping with a pile up and a robbery, Alex sent me a text telling me the device was finished. Immediately flew to the DEO were I quickly made my way to her lab. She was on her computer and the device was on the table beside her. She turned around to look at me,
"So how does this thing work?' She asked.
I just shrugged and said,"Barry is going to walk me through it when I get to a place where I can run or fly really fast and not hit anything." I walked over to the table and picked up the device. I started to head out of the room when Alex said,
"Be careful, I won't be able to get to you if you are hurt" Alex got up, walked over to me and pulled me into a tight embrace. I returned it.
"I will I promise" With that I walked out the lab doors and took off into the sky heading for an open space,where I would be able to fly fast enough to get to Barry.
I touched down on the grass and pulled out my phone. I shot a quick text to Barry asking him how I would use the device to get to his earth.
After a couple moments I received a reply explaining how to vibrate at a certain rate to get to his earth. It took a couple minutes to get it right. I then attached the device to my chest and started vibrating my whole body at the same rate as my hand. Once I was ready, I darted forward as fast as I could. A breach opened up in front of me and I ran straight into it. Hoping that on the other side I would be on Barry's earth.
(Barry's POV)
After I had sent a text to Kara I sat back in my chair, wondering if the replica her sister made would work.
After about an hour Cisco had his head on the desk and was starting to doze off. I was still working on a plan to find Caitlin and stop Zoom using Kara's powers. All of a sudden there was a hand on my shoulder and I spun my chair around.
Standing in front of me was none other than Kara Danvers in her Supergirl outfit.
Her smile grew and she crossed her arms, "So what's the plan?"
