"Barry, are you sure about this?" Patty asked as Barry was packing up.
"I can't leave an entire Earth of innocent people at Zoom's mercy. I have to do this." Barry said.
Patty sighed and nodded before hugging him and kissing him. "Just be careful, OK?"
They entered the chamber, where the speed cannon was as Jay began explaining the process. "All right, Barry, listen to me. You're about to go through the looking glass. You're gonna see things that look and feel familiar, but they're not. Up is down. Black is white, and do not let yourself get sucked in emotionally, and good luck."
Barry sighed. "Look, if we're not back in 48 hours, that means that Zoom has us. If that happens, you have to close the breach."
"We're not gonna do that." Caitlin protested.
"You get yourself back here in one piece, all right?" Joe said. "Don't make me come and get you."
"No." Barry assured, hugging Joe.
Cisco handed Caitlin a letter. "I wrote this for my parents and Dante. If I don't come back, make sure he gets them."
"Cisco, you're coming back." Caitlin assured.
"Caitlin, please." Cisco insisted.
Caitlin gave in after a moment. "OK, I will."
"Thank you." Cisco nodded as they hugged each other.
"Be careful." Caitlin hugged Barry.
"Yeah."
"OK."
"You too, Harry." Caitlin told him.
"Snow." Harry nodded before turning to Joe.
"I hope you get your daughter back." Joe said.
"I'll make sure you get your son back." Harry promised as they shook hands.
Patty kissed Barry as they smiled at each other. "For good luck. Promise me you'll come back to us here in one piece, OK?"
"I will." Barry promised.
"You don't have to do this." Harry said as they were about to leave.
"Yeah, I do." Barry said.
"Is anybody else feeling panic right now?" Cisco asked. "I chickened out of bungee jumping when I was 18, but this is categorically a lot scarier."
"Once I turn the speed cannon on, the three of you will be able to pass through unharmed, but Barry, you need to make sure you keep your speed up." Jay explained.
"Mm-hmm." Barry nodded.
"I... I got no spit." Cisco stammered.
"Jaws." Harry said, getting the reference.
"I'm not just quoting 'Jaws'. I mean my mouth is really dry right now." Cisco said nervously.
"Do not get distracted by anything you see along the way." Jay cautioned.
"What are we gonna see?" Cisco asked.
"Everything." Jay said vaguely.
"Do it, Jay." Barry said as the breach opened. "OK, let's go." They sped into the breach as the machine seemed to malfunction a moment later as Jay tackled Caitlin out of the harm's way.
"What was that?" Patty asked.
"With the rest of the breaches closed, the energy surge to this last remaining breach must have destabilized it." Jay explained.
"Well, what does that mean?" Joe demanded.
"As long as it's unstable Barry and Cisco will be trapped over there." Jay revealed, leaving them worried about Barry and Cisco.
Earth-2
Barry sped Harry and Cisco into an underground lab and Barry and Cisco felt like if they were in some kind of a bizarro world as they looked around.
"Holy 2001. I feel like I just opened my third eye." Cisco said, amazed.
"Oh, my God." Barry said as they went out. "Come on." They looked at the city and it had some similarities with their Earth but still, the architecture was very different. Barry and Cisco felt like if they were in some steampunk comic book. "Oh-ho-ho."
"Welcome to Earth-2." Harry said.
S.T.A.R. Labs
"Toto, I've got a feeling we're not in Kansas anymore." Cisco said as they looked around Earth-2's S.T.A.R. Labs.
"This is amazing. Half these things are just ideas on our Earth." Barry said, looking at the inventions.
Barry and Cisco took a selfie as Harry sighed at their antics. "Ramon."
"What?" Cisco asked.
"Not a sightseeing tour." Harry said.
"Speak for yourself. We want our grandkids to know we did cool stuff." Cisco said.
"Dr. Wells."
"Henry." Harry said, shaking his hand with the black scientist approaching him.
"Welcome back. We weren't expecting you."
Barry and Cisco tensed at seeing Hewitt's doppelganger.
"Yes... I didn't tell anyone I was coming back." Harry said.
"I thought you might've left town with all that's been happening." Hewitt said and Barry and Cisco noticed that this Earth's Hewitt was more cheerful than his Earth-1 doppelganger.
"Right." Harry nodded.
"Are your friends OK?" Hewitt asked, noticing how on edge Barry and Cisco were.
"Yes, they're... they're fine. They're excitable." Harry said, introducing them. "This is…"
"Henry Hewitt, lab assistant. Pleased to make your acquaintance." Hewitt said, shaking hands with Barry and Cisco, who tried to keep a straight face.
"And you... um, this is Barry. This is Cisco."
"I'm Cisco."
"Yeah."
"And you are just a nice, normal guy." Cisco said nervously.
"Dr. Wells, will you and your visitors be needing the conference room?" Hewitt asked.
"Not necessary, Henry. Our visit will be short." Harry said and Hewitt nodded. "Good to see you."
"Good to see you, sir." Hewitt said as he left.
"He's a bad guy on Earth-1." Cisco explained.
"He looks just like him." Barry said.
Harry sighed and nodded as they entered his office and on the wall turned on a screen with a news report.
"A reminder that a citywide curfew has been issued. No unauthorized person is to be out after 9 P.M. A recent increase in Zoom attacks has led Mayor Snart to extend the curfew. The curfew was first issued after a series of terror attacks throughout the city..."
"It's worse. It's worse than when I left. Zoom has turned up his reign of terror." Harry said.
"All right, then let's find Zoom fast. Cisco, do your thing." Barry said as he turned to Cisco.
"All right, Zoom... You can run, but you can't hide." Cisco said, putting on his glasses but nothing happened as he looked at Barry and Harry. "All right, you know what? You guys are crowding my space a little bit. I can't perform like this under pressure, OK? If you could just step back just a little bit, I need to do my thing."
"All right." Barry said as he and Harry moved away.
"My mojo."
"Yes, all right. Thank you. Take two. All right, Zoom. You can run…" Cisco cleared his throat and put on his glasses again but nothing happened again.
"Ramon, what's happening?" Harry demanded.
"You know, I don't know, OK? I can't see anything. I don't know what's wrong." Cisco said, examining his goggles. "Maybe I lost my powers."
"I didn't lose my powers. Why would you lose your powers?" Barry pointed out.
"Oh, here we go, the wavelength trigger's not responding, but that only happens if..."
"…the frequency is imbalanced." Harry realized.
"What?" Barry looked confused.
"Our Earth vibrates at a different frequency than yours." Harry realized, sounding frustrated.
"Harry, without that frequency..."
"…we're up a creek." Harry and Barry realized before they saw Barry's doppelganger wearing glasses on the TV.
"The latest attack was orchestrated by Zoom, and we understand that citizens of Central City are scared, but I can assure you the CCPD has been working diligently..."
"That's me." Barry stared.
"Yeah, it is." Cisco laughed.
"…under the leadership of Captain Thawne. We will stop Zoom. That's a promise." The doppelganger said.
"The leadership of Captain Thawne." Cisco realized.
"Eddie?" Barry wondered. "At least I'm still a CSI." An idea suddenly hit him. "I have a plan." A moment later, Barry sped off and returned back with his own doppelganger.
"What just happened?" Allen demanded, looking confused.
"Oh-ho-ho-ho, doppelganger." Cisco laughed.
"Wait, wait, wait, wait, how did I get here?" Allen stared at Barry in disbelief. "What... who are... who are you? How do you look like me?"
Harry glared at Barry. "Allen, what are you doing?"
"Harrison Wells." Allen stared at Barry in disbelief as he chuckled. "The Harrison Wells." He looked around, enthusiastic. "Oh, my God, am I in S.T.A.R. Labs. OK, I have no idea what is going on here, but I've always wanted to meet you." Allen looked at Harry like if meeting his idol. "Your thesis on string phenomenology was revolutionary to me."
"Oh, man." Cisco sighed, seeing the similarities between Barry and the doppelganger.
"I had the magazine laminated so I could keep it. I... I just want to emulate..."
"This guy's incredible."
Harry threw to Barry some device, while gesturing to an award on the wall. "I won an award for it, right over there, you see?"
"Oh, it's beaut—"
Barry used the device and tased Allen, who slumped to the chair.
"Wh... wh... what did you do? What's wrong with you? Have you turned into an evil you?" Cisco demanded, looking shocked.
"Relax. Just knocked him out." Barry assured.
"Oh, well, why'd you even bring him over here?" Cisco asked.
"So he could become him." Harry realized and Barry nodded.
"While you guys work on the goggles, I will go to CCPD as him and see if I can figure out what information they have on Zoom's previous sightings." Barry said.
"We can use those sightings to triangulate Zoom's hideout." Harry said.
"Good. That's a good plan. Just remember what Jay said, OK? Things here are all sorts of trippy." Cisco reminded.
"Look, it'll be fine. I can handle it. It'll be easy." Barry said, putting on Allen's glasses.
Later, CCPD
Barry entered the CCPD and looked around, amazed at the differences. "Whoa. Yo, this is crazy."
"Get your hands off me."
Barry stared in disbelief at seeing Singh wearing a hat and a suit, with a moustache, dressed like a gangster. "Captain?"
"Look, I don't know nothin', so I ain't sayin' nothing." Singh sneered and Barry stared in disbelief to see…
"Deadshot?"
Lawton chuckled. "That's not funny, Allen. I hate that nickname. OK, look, I know I'm not... I'm not the best shot in the department, but—"
"He's the worst in the entire department." Barry paled at seeing his childhood bully dressed as a cop, patting Lawton on the shoulder. "Lawton, get Singh to the processing, OK?"
"Tony?" Barry blurted out.
"You need something, Allen?" The doppelganger of Tony Woodward asked as Barry stared. "What's up with you? You look like you just saw a ghost."
Barry got a hold of himself after a moment. "Sorry, I—"
"Are you finished with the report on how Dibny stole the Kahndaq diamond?" Tony asked.
Barry tried to play along. "Well, not yet—"
"Well, then, whatcha waiting for? Get back to it, pronto, I want it at my desk by tonight!" Tony ordered, clapping his hands. "Chop, chop!"
A few moments later, into Barry bumped clumsily a blonde woman with hair tied to a bun as she was collecting the papers. "Sorry, honey."
"Careful, Patty. You might be even clumsier than Allen here." Tony said.
Barry looked in shock at seeing Patty, who was collecting the papers nervously and getting up on her feet but what shocked him was seeing…
"We're right on it, Detective Woodward." Patty assured as Tony walked off. "I already left it on his desk." She whispered. "Hey, since we've finished our work tonight, how about we go to the Jitterbugs later at night?"
"Jitterbugs?" Barry repeated.
"We're just gonna head back to our place and change our clothes before we go to the club, OK?" Patty offered.
"Sure. Sure." Barry nodded.
Patty's watch suddenly beeped. "That's strange. It thinks you're a meta."
"Maybe it's busted." Barry shrugged.
"Again?" Patty sighed. "Could you look at it, once we get home?"
"Sure." Barry nodded.
Later
Patty accompanied Barry to what on Earth-1 was her apartment as well as Barry relaxed internally. Good to know that some things apparently don't change.
"I'll be back in a moment, OK, I'll just head into a shower." Patty said and Barry nodded as he looked around to see photos of himself, Patty and much to his own shock, Barry's and Patty's parents, alive.
Barry looked at the phone and was surprised to see names like 'Eddie', 'Bruce', 'Hal', 'Diana' but what shocked him was to know that his parents were on the speed dial too. Barry picked the receiver and called to his mother as he waited.
"Allen residence." Barry froze. He couldn't believe he was hearing her voice again, overwhelmed by emotions. "Hello? Uh, hello?"
"Mom." Barry called out.
"Wow, you certainly took your time calling back." Nora said and Barry sat down, still trying to let it sink in.
"Yeah, um, I'm... I'm sorry about that."
"Thank you so much for the anniversary tickets to Atlantis. Your dad and I have always wanted to go."
"Um, I'm... I'm really glad you liked them." Barry said, trying to keep his voice steady.
"Are you OK? You sound kind of strange." Nora asked.
"I'm fine. I'm... I'm..." Barry was lost for words.
"Hey, I know. Maybe I should give the plane tickets to you and Patty." Nora offered. "Nice little romantic getaway. You could perhaps finally purpose to your girlfriend. One day show me my grandchild."
"No, I want you to use them. I'm really glad to... hear you happy, Mom." Barry said, on verge of tears.
"Aw, I love you, Barry." Nora said, touched.
"I love you too." Barry said.
"OK, bye-bye, honey." Nora hung up.
Patty had gone out from her shower, tying her bathrobe, while drying her hair with a towel. "Barry. Is something wrong?"
"Uh, nothing. It was, uh... Um, it was just good to talk to my mom." Barry assured as they smiled at each other.
Later, Jitterbugs
Barry and Patty wearing a dress entered the club and Barry stared in shock to see Laurel singing some jazz song at the stage. "Whoa. Laurel can sing?"
"She's amazing, isn't she?" Patty asked.
Laurel finished her song as she smiled at Barry and Patty before hugging them both tightly. "Hey."
"Hey. I'm so glad you came." Laurel then turned to Barry as she kissed him on his cheek. "Hey, Barry."
"Hi, Laurel." Barry said, still trying to absorb the differences from his Earth.
"Barry, you know I don't like when you call me that. How many times have I told you to call me 'Dinah'?" Dinah shot him a mocking glare.
"He's just kidding, as usual." Patty laughed as they sat down. "So, how's our Siren doing?"
"Siren?" Barry blinked.
"Barry, if you again as much as suggest that I should try a different stage name, like 'The Canary' or something like that, I'm gonna shove the mic down your throat." Laurel threatened in a joking manner and Barry chuckled.
"Not saying a word." Barry raised his hands in surrender, smiling.
"What did you think?" Laurel asked.
"It was spectacular." Patty said.
"Yeah. Yeah. It was… great." Barry said after a moment.
"Well, wait until my next round. I'm gonna start again in five minutes. Your drinks are on the house tonight, OK?" Laurel offered as she got up and Barry smiled. At least some things don't change. Good-hearted Laurel Lance on any Earth.
"She's amazing." Barry said, admiring Laurel's performance.
"Are you OK?" Patty asked. "Usually you make a bit of fun of Laurel's singing."
"I… I really liked it this time. Really." Barry said.
"You've been acting a little weird. Is something wrong?" Patty asked, narrowing her eyes.
Suddenly, the watches of the guests bleeped, alerting them that metahumans were nearby as doppelgangers of Ronnie Raymond and Caitlin entered, with Ronnie looking like a darker version of Firestorm and Caitlin having white hair and paler skin and blue eyes and lips, much to Barry's shock.
"Don't stop singing, blondie." Ronnie said.
"That's our song." Caitlin said, looking around. "So which one of you lounge lizards is in the wrong universe? Hmm? Show of hands. Don't be shy."
Caitlin turned to Barry and Patty, who both paled. "Hey, handsome. You got something you want to tell me?"
"No." Barry said.
"No?" Caitlin asked mockingly before turning to Ronnie. "Baby, no one's talking to me."
"What if I make them scream?" Ronnie offered.
"Me first." Caitlin said, nearing Patty.
"Caitlin." Barry said.
Caitlin narrowed her eyes at him as he got up. "I haven't heard that name in a long time."
"But that is your name, isn't it? Your real name?" Barry pleaded. "Please, look... I know you. Don't do this."
"If you knew me at all, you would know that I hate the name 'Caitlin'. I'm Killer Frost." Killer Frost sneered.
"Get the hell away from them." Laurel said, stepping up.
"Or what?" Killer Frost taunted. She was about to attack Laurel but much to Barry's and Patty's shock, Laurel unleashed some sonic scream, knocking both Killer Frost and Ronnie down.
Patty stared in shock. "What the—"
"Come on, let's get out of here, go, go!" Laurel held Patty by her wrist as they ran towards the back exit and Barry sped Killer Frost and Ronnie outside the club.
"Well, hello, breacher." Killer Frost smirked, eying Barry.
"He's a speedster, babe." Ronnie noted.
"Oh, I'm shivering. I've been dying to kill The Flash." Killer Frost said hungrily.
"I don't want to hurt you." Barry pleaded.
"Trust me, you won't." Killer Frost said before she threw some icicles from her hands. Barry dodged before Ronnie lighted up his flames and flew up and Barry dodged the fireballs coming his way.
Barry sped off as Ronnie was chasing him before he picked a helmet from Jay's statue and used it to deflect a fireball that knocked Killer Frost down as Ronnie neared her in worry.
"This ain't over, breacher!" Ronnie called out.
"Barry! Where are you?"
Barry sped towards Laurel and Patty in an alley as they looked at each other. "Where the hell were you, Allen? Do you have any idea how worried we were?" Laurel demanded.
"I had a problem getting past the crowd to find you." Barry lied.
Later, S.T.A.R. Labs
"Killer Frost and Deathstorm." Harry explained as they met in his office.
"You know them?" Barry asked.
"More importantly, they know you now; they know that you're here." Harry said and Barry wiped his face in frustration.
"So Caitlin and Ronnie's doppelgangers are evil? Those are some dope names, though." Cisco noted.
"This was supposed to be a surgical mission, Allen. Find Zoom's lair. Rescue Jesse. Get in, get out, not get involved." Harry scolded.
"All right, well, look, I am involved, OK? Patty and Laurel almost got killed tonight." Barry snapped.
"No, they didn't. Patty Spivot and Laurel Lance, your Patty and Laurel, are alive and safe on your Earth, so is Caitlin." Harry reasoned. "These people, Barry, they're mirror reflections. As far as your life is concerned, they don't exist. Killer Frost, Deathstorm, they know that you're here. Then it's not long before Zoom does too, and then my daughter's dead, and that's on you."
"Jesse still has time, OK?" Barry pleaded. "I need to check in on Patty—"
"She is not Patty!" Harry snapped.
"That doesn't mean I should just turn my back on her! The least I owe her, is letting her know that I'm OK! She's gotta be worried about me! Let me go. Please." Barry pleaded and Harry sighed.
"Fine. Check in with Patty, then we need to figure out how to track down and stop Zoom and find Jesse." Harry said before glaring at Barry, as if he was stupid. "I warned you not to get involved, Barry."
Later, Central City General
Patty and Laurel were in the hospital as Barry entered.
"Where have you been?" Patty asked.
"I… had to go see a friend regarding how to find Deathstorm and Killer Frost." Barry explained.
"Did you tell them about me?" Laurel asked.
"No." Barry shook his head and she relaxed.
"Thanks, Barry. Really." Laurel said.
"You've been a metahuman since the particle accelerator exploded?" Patty asked, turning to her.
"No. It's been a little longer than that. Before I moved here." Laurel admitted. "My family has this… curse running around. One of my ancestors, my great-great-grandmother, stole from the gypsies. They cursed her as a punishment. Anytime the firstborn daughter screams, walls would crumble, glass would shatter. It was passed on generation, after generation. I kept hiding it from everyone." She sighed. "After the Gambit went down and when I lost Ollie, that curse woke up in me. And I ran. Most people thought I hit rock bottom. Bailed on everyone. I guess I did, in a way. But I wanted to figure out what happened to me." She looked away ashamed. "I came here to try to start over and figure out who I am. And I was afraid that…" She gave Barry and Patty pleading looks. "Don't tell that to anyone. Please."
"We won't. Your secret is safe with me. I promise." Barry held Laurel's shoulders.
"Same here." Patty promised, giving Laurel an assuring smile. "I'll stay here with you."
"Thanks." Laurel smiled.
Barry sighed. "Are you gonna be OK alone here?"
"Yeah." Patty said.
"Look, I'll head back to the precinct, see if I can help the police find Frost and Deathstorm." Barry said and they nodded as he left.
Later, Central City
"Barry, this is a stupid idea, and that coming from me, says something." Cisco said, using holding in his hand the rifle Harry had stolen from Mercury Labs.
"Look, if we can subdue Frost and Deathstorm, maybe we can get them to tell us how to find Zoom and Jesse." Barry said. "Are you sure they're here?"
"Well, Harry hacked into the satellite and this place recently had high fluctuations of temperature. Who else would it be?" Cisco said.
From around the corner emerged Killer Frost and Deathstorm, who both smirked.
"You didn't knock. How rude." Frost said as she readied her hand. "Drop it."
Cisco put down the rifle as he eyed Deathstorm, hoping to reach him. "Ronnie. Is Martin Stein in there?"
"Oh, I haven't let him out in years. Doesn't talk much anymore." Deathstorm said as Frost laughed maniacally.
"I can't believe you two work for Zoom." Cisco sneered in disgust.
"No, they work for me. I work for Zoom."
The voice sounded very familiar to Barry and Cisco as they stared at the man in the shadows.
"Who the hell are you?" Cisco demanded.
The man emerged from the shadows, looking like Cisco, wearing the same goggles Cisco did, and a black leather jacket. "Well, that's funny. I was just gonna ask you the same thing."
Cisco pointed at the man in front of him in disbelief. "Doppel..."
"…ganger." The doppelganger of Cisco finished.
"Oh, I knew there was another me here." Cisco said.
"And I knew you were coming, Cisco, even before you entered the breach and set foot on this world. See, we're all connected... Francisco." The doppelganger said.
"My name is Vibe." Cisco said.
The doppelganger bowed in respect. "Reverb."
"Actually, not the worst name you could've come up with, but not the best." Cisco sneered.
Reverb chuckled. "I've been watching you, Vibe, and I have to say I am extremely disappointed."
"Yeah, I know the feeling." Cisco shot back as he examined Reverb's haircut. "I'm not sure what's worse, the fact that you're part of Zoom's gang, or that weird samurai situation you got going on on the top of your head there."
"Listen to this. What if Zoom wasn't running the show anymore?" Reverb offered.
Cisco blinked. "What do you mean?"
"You don't even know how powerful you are. All you use your powers for are these cheap parlor tricks when you... you could be a god. We… could be gods." Reverb said and Cisco paced in disbelief before turning to Reverb again.
"Are you Cloud City Vadering me right now?" Cisco demanded.
"Are you out of your mind? Let's turn them over to Zoom." Frost said.
Reverb glared at her. "Speak to me like that again, and I will shatter your entire nervous system without breaking a sweat." He turned to Cisco again. "So, Vibe, do you want to run Central City? What do you say?"
"I say... Flash, save us!" Cisco exclaimed.
Next thing they knew, Deathstorm was knocked on the ground as the Flash sped in, knocking Reverb down before turning to Cisco. "Hey, that didn't hurt you, did it?"
"No. Why would it?" Cisco questioned.
"I don't know." Barry said.
"Watch out!" Cisco exclaimed as Barry had to dodge the fireballs and icicles Deathstorm and Frost were throwing at him.
"Round two." Deathstorm smirked.
Cisco was about to look for a way out before facing Reverb again. "Look, mirror-mirror, I already told you I'm not going to the dark side with you."
"CCPD! Don't move!" Tony shouted as he burst in with the police.
Reverb sighed before he raised his hand and blasted Tony and the police away, knocking them down as Cisco stared in shock. "Are you telling me I can do that?"
"I can show you." Reverb offered.
The Flash dodged another fireball before Reverb blasted him from behind.
"No!" Cisco cried out before Reverb punched him in the face, knocking him down and Deathstorm and Reverb kept on blasting Barry before Frost intervened.
"Stop, both of you! Zoom wanted him alive. You know what Zoom will do if you don't obey him." Frost reminded and in that moment, Zoom appeared behind Deathstorm, ripping his spine off and Deathstorm fell down, dead. "No!" She exclaimed.
"That." Zoom said before nearing Reverb. "What did I say you should do if you encountered a speedster?"
"Leave him unharmed." Reverb said, looking down sheepishly before looking into Zoom's eyes.
Zoom turned to Barry. "Does this look unharmed to you?"
Reverb grunted as Zoom plunged his hand into Reverb's chest and pulled away as Reverb fell down before Zoom grabbed Frost by her throat as she gagged, choking out.
"I'm happy to see at least one of you knows their place." Zoom said as he let her go before speeding away with Barry.
"Barry!" Cisco exclaimed.
Frost neared the dead Deathstorm, whimpering before running off as Cisco stared in despair and defeat.
When Barry woke up, he was in some glass cell, in front of him a man in an iron mask banging on the glass in his cell and Barry saw a young girl in shackles in another cell, realizing who it was. "Jesse? Jesse! Hey. I'm here with your dad! We're gonna get you out of here, alright? I promise."
Zoom sped in, inches away from Barry, with the glass separating them. "It's not wise to make promises you can't keep, Flash." Barry shivered as Jesse was on verge of tears as he tried to keep a straight face in front of the demonic speedster. "Look around. This is the last place you'll ever see."
Hope you liked my different spin on Earth-2 and I just couldn't resist using Tony Woodward, Barry's childhood bully, as a cop with whom Barry works. * chuckles * Poor Barry. I didn't cover the events on Earth-1 with "Jay" and Geomancer, since they would end the same way as they did in the actual episode.
As interesting character as is Earth-2 Laurel as Black Siren, what they did with her in the show just doesn't work for my story and I'm gonna do a bit of a mix-up when we get to 2x22, since in this story, Earth-2 Laurel had been hiding her powers and never used them until now and she's not a metahuman but her background is similar to Siobhan Smythe's (Silver Banshee's) from Smallville and Supergirl, hence why she wasn't detected by the metahuman devices.
And as for what I did with Laurel here, I got a little inspiration by Arrow 8x09, where Dinah Drake worked as a singer in a nightclub. Plus, Katie did have some singer roles as an actress, so I thought this would work, since I don't plan on having Laurel die at Darhk's hand in here but someone else. Who Darhk killed will be revealed when we get to 2x22.
Stay safe from coronavirus, guys.
So, what do you guys think?
