Cisco hacked into the radio station, to receive a live feed of what was going on in the radio tower.
"We may not be able to give them any directions, but at least we can listen in... And if we're lucky, I might be able to hack into the radio station and broadcast to them." he told Caitlin.
"I need to step away for a moment, Cisco. Alert me if the situation changes." Caitlin told him, as she left the room, in a rush.
"Will do." Cisco replied.
Caitlin headed towards the underground carpark and pulled out a small object from her pocket and placed it on the floor. Her entire face and body structure changed, drastically. She had become Eobard Thawne.
"I told you not to come here, Reverb. Now is not the time!" Eobard told the newcomer as he turned to face him. His name was Francisco Ramon, Cisco's doppleganger, from an alternate earth. Though he was wearing a pair of hi-tech goggles to help him with his powers.
"I'm sorry. But I had to. I can't keep living in that shoe box that you call an earth. I want to go back to my world… I saw my other self! He is a real disappointment. He is really wasting his abilities… But don't worry. He never saw me." Reverb replied.
Eobard ran at Francisco with his super ability and threw him to the floor. "You are risking everything by just being here! You will return home when you help me go back to mine. We need Barry's speed. You must leave before the Cisco of this world sees you. Caitlin is no longer a threat to us. But he is just as clever! It is just a matter of time before he finds out!"
"Yeah," Reverb replied as he got back on his feet. "I met the little ice queen. She mistook me for him when we fought. So much for being clever… I wondered how long it would take before you killed her."
"I never killed her. But she is certainly no longer a threat. You need to leave, before you're seen, or I will kill you." Eobard warned.
In an instant, Reverb raised his hand and shot up a blast that sent Eobard flying backwards and toppling over. "Thawne… You can only try… In fact, I dare you to try… But we both know that we only stand a chance if we work together. I will give you a few days, to do what you need to do… But if you don't… I'm taking over… and we will be doing things my way!"
Reverb created a portal using the energy from the palm of his hands and before Eobard could react, he had disappeared out of sight through it.
Eobard dusted himself off and picked up his shape shifter tool, back off the floor. Once again, he took the form of Caitlin Snow. Caitlin returned back to level 97 to find Cisco still focusing on his radio connection.
"How is Barry doing?" she asked.
"Cupid is toying with him… According to Cupid, Barry and Joe are on their way... So where did you go?" Cisco directed the question right at her.
"I had to check on the progress of one of our projects on the lower floors…" Caitlin said, though Cisco wasn't buying it. "Yeah, a project in the carpark."
"Yeah… sorry I had to go out to my car too. I couldn't remember if I locked it this morning." she said, hoping that he did not find out her true identity.
Cisco stared intently at Caitlin. "Sure… can you hand me that marker over there? I have a theory about all this stuff with Barry's speed and I just want to write it all out… You know, get it all out on paper… well the board…"
Caitlin handed the marker over to Cisco, and the moment their hands came in to contact, his face grew a blank expression. He was getting a vision.
In his vision he saw himself speaking with a man who resembled Eddie, in the smallest of ways. But it wasn't Eddie. The man ran at him with the same ability as Barry. He was a speedster. But unfortunately, that was all that he had seen.
"Cisco. What did you see?" Caitlin asked him, anxiously.
"Er… nothing…" Cisco stammered, "…I didn't see anything…" he was unsure as to why he didn't see Caitlin in the vision. He was afraid to ask any more questions.
Fortunately, he didn't need to. He heard Astrid and Joe's voice through his computer speakers. They were now meeting with Cupid right now.
"Oh yeah! It's about to go down!" Cisco called out as he directed his attention back to the radio feed. Caitlin continued to stare at Cisco.
What had Cisco seen in his vision? This had been a close call, and Eobard couldn't afford to have any more, close calls. Impersonating Caitlin was becoming very risky at this point, Cisco was bound to find out the truth… He needed to eliminate that risk.
Astrid and Joe made it to the top floor, where they had come face to face with Cupid. They held their weapons high and aimed them at the archer, known as Cupid, as she held up her bow, pointing an arrow right at Astrid's head.
Joe raced to Barry's side, where he was sitting on the floor trying to phase his leg to warm it up.
"You wanted me… I'm here!" Astrid told Cupid firmly, "I don't want to shoot you, but I will if I have to. So let the Flash go free and tell us what you have planned for the city. I won't let you hurt anyone."
"Hey! I make the rules here!" Cupid snapped, she pointed her bow at Joe and released an arrow. The arrow just skimmed Joe's head
"Ok! You make the rules…" Astrid said quickly, pointing her weapon at the roof, but not letting it go. "Just don't hurt them, Ok? What did you want me for?"
"I am surprised that you are not with your husband, Oliver, as a devoted wife should be…" Cupid told her.
"No, I'm not. Oliver and I broke up. We never got married." Astrid confirmed. She tried to use her mind control, though it was not working. She was getting desperate.
"I don't believe you. You DESTROYED my chance of happiness when you married Oliver Queen. So I am about to destroy all of yours. By now you may have realized that you can't use your mind control on me… I must say I came prepared. So I will tell you my plan, because there is nothing that you can do about it, except watch your entire city destroy itself. If you shoot me, my laqueys will know, and they will finish what we started. Somewhere in this city, is a gas tank, filled not only with gas, but also a special chemical… the one your friend got in the way of at STAR Labs. Though it has been mixed with another ingredient, a drug that will increase a person's rage. Once it is released the entire city will be overwhelmed with a beautiful combination of lust and rage. It will destroy itself before your very eyes."
"No! You need to believe me! Oliver is yours. I know that I can't use my mind control, but I can make you believe me! It's the truth! Oliver and I can't be together. We broke up." Astrid pleaded.
A smile came across Carrie's face. "You don't love Oliver. How did I not realize it until now? You're telling me the truth. Who is it? Killing them will destroy you more than any other plan that I can come up with… Or I can dose him up with my special love potion so that he doesn't even think about you…"
Astrid bit her bottom lip. She wasn't going to give that secret up. She looked over at Joe and the Flash. Joe gave her a look to tell her that Barry's leg was healing quickly.
"Let's not worry about who I have feelings for. I can convince Oliver to date you. I can even use my mind control to make him love you." Astrid bluffed.
She hoped that Carrie would buy into her lie, but she didn't. "Stop Lying!" She yelled at Astrid as she aimed the arrow at her head. "He will never truly love me! I want to hear you plead for me not to kill the one you love. I want you to beg me."
Suddenly, a voice echoed through the surrounding speakers. Someone had hacked into Central City's radio station. "Good evening folks! This is Cisco Ramon and you're listening to the showdown between our heroes and Cupid… and nope she isn't some silly animated angel baby carrying a comedic big red heart."
"What does he think he is doing?" Cupid screamed. Just in time for Barry's leg to have healed completely. He ran at Cupid angrily and knocked her into a set of speakers, letting off a large sound of interference. Fortunately, it did not stop Cisco's broadcast.
"Cisco! The Flash is free!" Astrid exclaimed, as a smile crossed her face. "We need a plan. We need to find the gas tanks."
"It's too late!" Cupid exclaimed, with a laugh. "You have exactly two minutes until they explode. You better act fast!"
