This is Gospel
For the Fallen Ones
Locked Away in Permanent Slumber
-This Is Gospel, Panic! At The Disco
"I'm here to kill you, Flash, so get ready to fry" Dr. Light jests."Bring it on" Dr. Light and Barry both grunt and Barry falls over defeated
"Told you. Zoom always wins" Dr. Light says to a fallen Flash and rips off his emblem.
3 Days Earlier
"Zoom sent me here to kill you, but I didn't want to" Dr. Light explains.
"But you were fine with killing Linda Park" Barry says.
"It was the best bad idea I could come up with. Leave her body for Zoom to find, he'd think I was dead, and I'd be free"
"How was he supposed to know where to find her body?"
"Just let me go. Let me disappear" Light pleads avoiding the question.
"You would spend the rest of your life looking over your shoulder, never knowing when Zoom is coming" Barry tells her.
"Okay. And what's your great idea?"
"How were you supposed to contact him after you killed me?"
"I was supposed to get something... something I could only get if you were dead... and then throw it through the breach as proof."
"And then what?"
"Then he'd come for me. Confirm the kill and bring me home. Why do you want to know?" Light questions curious.
"Because I want to find him" Barry answers.
"You really don't" Light says terrified.
"He's gonna keep coming for me. He's gonna keep kidnapping people like you, forcing them to do what he wants. I have to stop him before more people die" Barry counters.
"You can't stop Zoom" Light persists.
"Yes, I can. I will, but I need your help" Barry answers.
To another room, the Cortex
"Zoom wants Doctor Light to send him your new emblem" Caitlin questions.
"Yes. We need it for bait. If we can get Doctor Light to take my emblem, throw it through the breach, then Zoom will come to collect my body, and we can trap him" Barry answers.
"You know it took a lot of work to make that emblem, right?" Cisco says.
"Whoa hold up. This is the woman who was willing to kill Linda in order to escape Zoom, but now she's willing to help us catch him?" I question.
"She knows it's the only way" Barry tells us.
"Before I left Earth-2, I worked on a serum to dampen Zoom's speed. All we would need is for Ramon to develop a weapon to deliver it" Harry interjects.
"Oh, great, that could be this year's cold gun. Maybe another criminal can get it, and then we'd have Sergeant Slow" Caitlin says.
"I would never let that happen. Sergeant Slow is a terrible name" Cisco replies.
"Are we forgetting how much more powerful than Barry Zoom seems to be? I mean, if Barry can catch bullets, what's to say Zoom can't catch whatever you shoot at him?" Caitlin asks.
"Surprise... the element of surprise. All we would do is rig a projectile to fire as Zoom crosses into the breach. He can't stop what he can't see coming" Harry says.
"That's great" I say perking up.
"Thanks" Harry replies.
"Joe, voice of reason here?" Caitlin asks hoping to get Joe on her side.
"We need a plan. That's as good as any. As long as he can deliver" Joe answers pointing at Harry.
"Don't underestimate me, Detective" Harry says as Barry's phone vibrates. He reads the text and says, "Oh, Patty needs us back at the station"
"I'll meet you there, all right?" Barry tells him as he walks out.
"Are you just forgetting everything Jay told us and supporting Wells now?" Caitlin says as me, Cisco, Caitlin, and Joe make a shot a huddle.
"Oh, no, I don't trust Wells at all. I just want to see what he's up to. I figure we give him some rope, he'll hang himself" Joe tells her.
"Yeah, I'm totally with you. I think he's hiding something" Cisco says as I try not to think about the vision of Harry betraying us.
"Look, my hunch after interrogating suspects all these years, something's not right with this dude. Barry told me about this thing you can do?" Joe questions.
" Vibing" Caitlin says perking up.
"Oh, God, just relax" Cisco says to himself.
"Can you do it with Wells?" Joe asks.
"I can try" Cisco says sighing.
To the Precinct
An elevator bell dings and Joe walks out.
"Great, you're here" Patty says walking over to Joe.
"Good morning to you too, Patty" Joe says.
"Yes, I was up all night working on the Doctor Light case. I... I've been trying to anticipate all the powers she might throw our way, you know, on the premise that she can manipulate light energy" Patty says excited.
"I appreciate it, but..." Joe says but Patty interjects. "Did you know that light energy can be turned into hard light? I mean, that doesn't even sound like a thing, but it is."
"Seriously, Patty..." Joe persists.
"No, and on the other end of the spectrum is invisibility. Look, it... it's just hypothetical, but I think that..." Patty says but Joe interjects with, "The Doctor Light case is closed."
"Oh, uh, okay. Can you tell me why?" Patty says confused.
"No" Is all Joe says.
"No? Okay" Patty mutters confused.
"Hey" Barry says walking over to Patty
"Hi!" Patty says perking up
"Are you good?" Barry asks.
"Yeah, yeah, I'm fine. Your dad just shut me down in a big way" Patty tells him.
"What do you mean?" Barry asks.
"I... I don't know. It just... You don't think it's because you and I kissed?" Patty says worried.
"Uh, no, I don't think he knows. I didn't say anything, but I can talk to him if you want" Barry replies.
"No, no, no, I'll talk to him. You know, he's my partner. We should have trust and communication" Patty assures him.
"Are you sure? I don't mind talking about that kiss. It was a good kiss" Barry tells her.
"Yeah, yeah, although the memory... it's a little foggy" Patty says flirtatiously.
"Oh, really?" Barry says as a smile comes on to his face.
"Yeah. I might need, like, a reminder soon" Patty says walking to her desk.
"Okay" Barry replies.
To Central City Picture News.
"Hey" Linda says to Iris.
"Hey" Iris replies.
"Have you had any word from The Flash about the meta-human that killed Larkin?"
"No, not yet, but I know he's working on it."
"You know, maybe I could talk to him."
"Linda, I don't think that's a good idea."
"Look, Larkin is dead, which makes it really hard for me to concentrate on field goals and doping scandals. I don't want to sit around being told not to worry my pretty little head about it."
"I get that. Believe me, I do." Iris reassures her.
"Then tell him I want to help. Please, I can't let this woman who looks like me hurt anyone else" Linda persist.
"I'll ask again. But trust me, Flash has everything under control" Iris says.
Back to S.T.A.R. Labs.
"Crap" Cisco says as he walks into the pipeline and sees Dr. Light gone. He opens the doors and Dr. Light, still invisible pushes him. Cisco is confused for a moment the gets up and tells us "Doctor Light's gone invisible. Lock the doors. Shut the doors!"
"The doors aren't responding. None of the security protocols are responding" Caitlin him.
"She's hacked the system" I say.
"Barry, Doctor Light is escaping" Caitlin yells
"Where is she?" Barry asks running in.
"Doctor Light managed to hack into the lights of her cell" I say dejected.
"The whole building runs on fiber optics that operate on pulses of light, so she turned off the dampeners and used her powers" Cisco explains.
"I told you how dangerous she was. You should have listened to me and sedated her" Harry yells.
"I thought I had convinced her that helping us was the only way she'd free herself from Zoom" Barry defends.
"Well, you thought wrong" Harry tells him.
"Yeah. Okay, look, Doctor Light is gone, so instead of acting like 5 year olds, let's try to figure out what we're gonna do next." I yell exasperated. I soften up and ask, "Do you think she's gonna try and take Linda again?"
"I had Iris bring Linda to the house, just in case, to keep an eye on her. How are we doing with the speed-dampener?" Barry asks.
"I think we isolated the composite" Caitlin tells Barry.
"And we're modifying the dart The Arrow used to take down Wells" Cisco adds.
"He's not Wells. I'm Wells" Harry says.
"Whatever, Harry" Cisco says annoyed
"5 year old" I mutter just loud enough for Harry to hear.
"But we don't even really know if this thing works" Joe says.
"Until we try it, no. This will be a field test, so can we end this scintillating staff meeting and get back to work?" Harry tells him.
"Or how about I say what everybody's thinking? Maybe it's a good thing that Doctor Light is gone. Maybe it's the universe stopping us from doing something really stupid" Joe says while Caitlin says a silent I told you so.
"No. No. Keep going. I'm gonna figure out another way to get Zoom" Barry says confidently.
"Hey, slow your roll. I want to talk to you" Joe says.
"Joe, look, I know what I'm doing" Barry answers.
"Okay, I don't, so why don't you clue me in?"
"I'm trying to stop Zoom. I thought you were on board with that."
"I'm keeping my options open."
"I don't understand why you think we have a choice. Zoom wants me dead. The meta-humans that he's sending from Earth-2, they don't care how many innocent people get in the way. Look at what happened to Iris and Linda's boss. He was just collateral damage in Zoom's war. The next time, that could be you or Iris."
"I'm just wondering if going after him now is premature. I mean, we barely know anything about his abilities."
"Wells does."
"You're putting a whole lot of faith in the man wearing the face of your mother's killer. I think we should find Jay, get him to help us on this."
"Yeah, Jay made it pretty clear that he doesn't want to help get me killed, and we can't just sit around and wait for Zoom to make his next move anymore. We can't. Aren't you the one who told me life isn't about playing defense, sometimes the only way to succeed is by working the offense?"
"I think at the time we were talking about your high school football tryouts." (Snicker)
"You said you'd never bring that up again." Barry says irritated.
Wells might get Vibed
"Hey. I just wanted to say using the, uh, tungsten composite to dampen vibrations, that was, uh... that was pretty brilliant" Cisco says to Harry as he clams on to his shoulder and squeezes his eyes shut.
"What are you doing?" Wells questions.
"I'm congratulating you" Cisco says confused.
"Don't touch me" Harry jerks away.
"Wow, try to give a guy a compliment" Cisco says trying to play the innocent card.
"You're not trying to give me a compliment. You're trying to meddle into things that are none of your business. What did you vibe about me?" Harry asks.
"Nothing" Cisco tells him
"What did you vibe about me?" Harry asks aggressively.
"Nothing. God, why? What's there to vibe on?" Cisco says curious.
"Don't touch me. If you have questions, ask them. Otherwise stay away from me" Harry says annoyed.
"So?" Caitlin asks.
"God, you'd think the serial killer version would've been the bigger jerk" Cisco says.
"What happened when you touched him? What did you see?" Caitlin asks.
"Oh, I didn't see anything" Cisco tells us.
"Go touch him again" Caitlin tells him.
"No, he's onto me now" Cisco tells her.
"Well, you have to keep trying. I mean, I think Joe's right. Something must have happened between Wells and Zoom, made this personal." Caitlin say as I sigh irritated and say, "I'll go do it then." They try to protest but I ignore them and walk up to Harry.
"Give me your hand, Wells" I say holding my hand out.
"What" he says confused.
"It's very simple give me your hand" I say again, "Don't make me attack you because I will."
"Fine," he sighs annoyed. "Here now what do you…" He says he I'm already sucked into another vision as my breathing hitches.
In the vision I'm in what I assume Well's office. The news is on and Wells is working on something. The reporter talks on about the Arrow, "The Arrow of Starling City formerly known as The Hood, has been unmasked as billionaire Robert Queen. Robert was marooned on an island when his boat went down in the Pacific, an accident that ended with the tragic death of his son, Oliver. Robert Queen was thought dead when..." The reporter stops and starts again this time the news bulletin had changed, "Excuse me, I'm receiving word. There has been an attack at Central City College. The science building was the focus of another meta-human attack. We are just receiving video. Please be advised, I'm being told that the footage you're about to see..." The news is drowned out as Wells starts to speak "Hey, Jesse, it's Dad. Can you... I just... I saw on the news... Just call me, all right? Let me know that you're okay. That you weren't..." Wells stops as he sees Jessie's phone on the ground and I can hear the news again.
"Witnesses report that The Flash arrived on the scene but not before the hostile meta-human escaped with a hostage, a female student. We have not yet ID'd her, and there is no indication as to why she has been specifically targeted."
"No" Wells says worried for his daughter. And I'm sent back into reality as I stumble forward into Wells.
"What was that" Wells questions.
"That was nothing," I say quickly, "just finish the gun or whatever." When I walk out Cisco and Caitlin on bombard me with questions.
"What did you see?"
"What happened?"
"What Did You See?"
"I know why Wells came to this earth" I say dramatically brushing off their questions. "I'll tell you later"
Over to the Precinct
"Joe... Detective... can we talk for a minute?" Patty asks hopeful
"If this is about Doctor Light..." Joe says sternly.
"No, yeah... No. Uh, maybe, but okay, look. I think I figured out why you've been a bit shut down the last couple of days" Patty explains
Joe chuckles "Really?
"Yeah, I feel like you're not being completely transparent with me, but I think that it's my fault. Look, you're a great... excellent... wonderful detective, and I think you can sense I'm not being completely transparent with you. And you're right. Look, we're partners. We need to be completely honest with each other. No secrets..." Patty rambles.
"Patty" Joe warns.
"Barry and I kissed" Patty blurts out.
"There's something to being too transparent" Joe says nonchalantly.
"No, no, no, no, I think that it's great that everything's just out there, right out in the open" Patty continues.
"Whatever you and Barry do in private is your own business" Joe tells her.
"Okay" Patty says going back to her work then pausing and asking "So you're not mad at me?"
"I promise you, I could care less" Joe confirms.
Patty sighs "Great, I feel so much better. Is there anything, you know, maybe you've been meaning to tell me? We're partners... totally transparent with each other."
Joe ponders for moment and says "Uh... nope."
"Cool." Patty says softly going back to work.
And After that awkwardness now to some more
"Hey" Barry says to Iris after walking in to the house.
"Hey" Iris answers.
"Are you guys having a dinner party?" Barry asks confused.
"You would think" Iris says.
"I know, I know. It's just, sometimes cooking helps me to relax" Linda says walking in.
"Oh" Barry answers.
"Have you heard anything about Doctor Light? Am I still in danger?" Linda asks hopeful.
"We're not really sure" Barry answers unsure.
"Come on. I'm going crazy here, Barry" Linda tells him
"Yeah, she is" Iris says as a timer dings.
"That is the cake. Hope you're hungry" Linda tell them
"She's not kidding. There's enough food in there to feed an army" Iris exaggerates.
"She must be terrified" Barry says sitting down.
"Uh, more like furious. Larkin died trying to protect her, and it only makes it worse that the person who did it looks just like her. I mean, trust me. If Linda had Doctor Light's powers right now..." Iris drags then Barry gets his I have and idea face on Iris, noticing this, asks "What?"
"I just, uh, Linda and Light... They're identical. So identical that Light even thought she could fool Zoom. Now we have Light's suit. You don't even have to say anything, I know. It's a terrible idea" Barry says trying to down idea.
"No, no, no, it's not. We make Zoom think that Linda is Doctor Light and use her to draw him out" Iris persists.
"It's too dangerous, right?" Barry questions.
"Let Linda decide. I mean, she's desperate to catch the person who's responsible for Larkin's death, and she deserves the chance to help us" Iris explains.
To S.T.A.R. Labs
"I still don't understand why we're here. I thought your dad said not to leave the house" Linda says nervously.
"Someone wants to talk to you" Iris assures her.
"Who?" Linda asks as the Flash zooms in "Ms. Park, I need your help"
