Cisco's plan is a little ragged around the edges, but everyone agrees it's the best one they've got.
Wells strongly protests Jesse coming along, but without her Wally can't transfer speed, and without that ability the whole plan is doomed.
He does allow Cisco to sketch out and quickly throw together a suit for Jesse in red and yellow. The purpose, other than creating an epic team of well-dressed speedsters, is to contain the tachyon speed enhancers, as well as comms systems, trackers, and small screens to display the tracker data so they can find each other.
Now, all of them are fully outfitted. Barry has his Flash suit, of course. Wally's got a formidable-looking one as well. Cisco has his Vibe glasses, and he's been secretly designing a suit for himself ever since returning from Earth-2, black leather edged in red. Wells, as much as it creeps everyone out, including the man himself, uses Thawne's Reverse Flash outfit—it's already made and, after all, fits perfectly. And now Jesse has a stellar red and yellow Flash-type suit too.
Cisco vibes again and this time projects his voice so Caitlin can hear him.
"We're coming to get you."
Caitlin stares in Cisco's general direction, frightened. "Be careful," she murmurs before glancing over her shoulder to check for Zoom.
Back in the real world, Barry and Wally exchange hugs with Iris and Joe.
"Be careful," Joe says to both of them. He glances back and forth between his sons, unshed tears shining in his eyes. "My two speedsters."
"Come back to us," Iris says. "Bring Caitlin home. Don't let Zoom win."
Before Cisco opens the breach down in the S.T.A.R. Labs basement, Wally, with Jesse's help, gives all of them a shot of speed. This time, rather than only maintaining contact for a moment, he lets the lightning flash between them for a little while, the hope being that the others will sustain their speed for longer.
Barry and Cisco, both of them already charged up, watch from a few steps away as Wally doesn't hesitate to give Wells speed.
"I'm not the only one having problems with this, right?" Cisco mutters to Barry.
Barry shakes his head. The sight of Harrison Wells wearing the yellow suit, lightning crackling around him, makes it very difficult to remember that he's not the same as the man in that suit last year.
"It's terrifying," Barry whispers back.
Wells turns toward them. "Come on, Ramon, let's get to Earth-2."
"Right." Cisco faces the place where the breach used to be and takes a deep breath, holding out a hand toward it.
He focuses on opening the breach, and finds that not only is it spreading out blue before him, but also that his hand is vibrating, Flash-style.
"Cool," he says, and then they're headed through the breach and back to Earth-2.
They come out in Earth-2's S.T.A.R. Labs. It's late at night, luckily, which means nobody's around to gawk at the five speedsters strolling through as though they own the place—which one of them does.
And then they start running.
Aside from Barry, whose lightning is still yellow, all of them have white electricity sparking behind them as they begin to run.
But, as they make their way across Central City toward Zoom's hideout, the white fades to a different color for each, leaving Wally with the only white lightning left.
Cisco's is a radar-like green; Jesse's shifts to an orange only a few shades away from Barry's yellow; Wells's turns a familiar red.
They stop outside of Zoom's lair.
"Is Zoom in there, Ramon?"
Honestly, the one thing that keeps Harry from looking exactly like evil Wells is the normal, non-red eyes. Marginally less scary.
But not much.
Cisco closes his eyes and vibes. "Not at the moment."
"Then let's go," Barry says.
"Hold on, I should fill you all up first," Wally says. He works with cars, after all—always fill up before a race.
And this is going to be a heck of a race.
Once he's again transferred speed force to each of them, they run straight up Ascension Cliffs and into Zoom's lair.
Caitlin and the man in the iron mask both scramble to their feet.
Caitlin smiles and hurries to the front of her cell—and then her eyes land on Wells and she stumbles back in shock and horror.
"Don't worry!" Barry says immediately, pulling off his mask. "It's just Harry."
"With superspeed?" Caitlin's guarded now.
"It's complicated," Barry says. "Go, everyone, we can't risk Jay coming back right now."
They scatter in a burst of multicolored lightning.
Barry examines the door to Caitlin's cell and then grabs the lock. Vibrating his hands at the right frequency shears the metal apart. Caitlin climbs out of the cell.
That's when Jay comes rushing in. He pauses at the other end of the chamber. "Barry?" At first, he seems totally baffled, but he quickly recovers and all traces of humor drop from his expression. "I took your speed once…"
"You didn't do a great job," Barry says.
Before they can exchange any more witty repartee, Barry picks up Caitlin and races past him. The tachyon device hums on his chest, and he can feel it increasing his speed, making him faster than Zoom could ever be.
"Wally, where are you?" he shouts over the wind rushing past him into the comms.
"Bottom of the cliff, south edge," Wally replies.
Barry locates him and Jesse, waiting together, and sets Caitlin down for a moment, glancing over his shoulder. "Hurry."
Wally doesn't bother with explanation, just grips Caitlin by the shoulder and transfers speed force into her. Jesse attaches a tachyon enhancer to her chest and gives her an earpiece.
"Welcome to the Speed Squad," Cisco says to Caitlin. "Now run!"
Zoom's right behind them, and everyone runs. Barry stays by Caitlin's side, helping her through her first superspeed steps.
"This is cool!" she yells to Barry. Her lightning is changing from white to a shiny silver.
"I know!" He grins.
They're on Earth-2, running from a speed-obsessed lunatic and traitor, and yet Barry hasn't felt this exhilarated in months.
He's got his speed back, some of his best friends are experiencing superspeed for the first time, and they've just rescued Caitlin.
Sure, they're running away.
But right now, in Barry's mind, they're winning.
