Later, S.T.A.R. Labs
"Thanks for the help." Barry said, facing Team Arrow and the Legends.
"Don't sweat it, Red, we didn't do this for you, we're not gonna let some other meta-freaks destroy our city." Mick said.
"I think what Mr. Rory is trying to say is, 'You're welcome, Mr. Allen.'." Rip said as the Legends chuckled.
"Whatever." Mick snorted.
"What were those ghost things back there?" Thea asked as they met in the Cortex, seeing the footage of Barry's fight with Zoom on the traffic cameras before they sent back to Earth-2 all the metahumans from Zoom's army.
"Time Wraiths. They're after speedsters, who mess with time." Barry said. "I don't know why they went after Zoom instead of me, though."
"Probably because you apparently weren't the only one breaking the rules of Speed Force. Who knows how many rules Zoom broke." Patty said.
In the meantime, Harry, Siren and Jesse had returned to Earth-2 to Zoom's lair and were now back with the man wearing the iron mask, who had been imprisoned by Zoom, with Barry keeping his promise to him. As they dismantled the mask, it revealed the face of a bearded man as everyone stared in disbelief.
"What?" The bearded man asked.
"You look just like…" Jesse trailed off.
"…me." Harry finished.
"I'm Jay Garrick." Jay introduced himself.
"Garrick? That was my mother's maiden name." Henry said, astonished.
Wally looked confused. "I don't understand, how can he be—"
"It's the same like with Hunter Zolomon." Barry realized. "Same name. Different faces. On some Earths, our counterparts have different names."
"Well, it makes sense now." Patty said. "When you had Hunter fired, he tried to kill you. But then when he was dying, he was looking for another speedster to get a cure."
Jay nodded as he lifted his shirt to reveal scars that were slowly healing due to his powers. "But he couldn't drain my powers. So, he decided to keep me as a trophy. He constantly beat me up and tortured me…"
"…as a twisted way of revenge against me." Harry nodded.
"Well, I appreciate you saving my life but I think it's time for me to go home." Jay said.
"And where's that?" Wally asked.
"I think you would call it Earth-3." Jay said.
"Uh-huh. Well, I can get you to Earth-2." Cisco offered.
"My daughter and I can help you with the rest." Harry offered.
"We can?" Jesse asked, unsure.
"Yes, we can. We're going home." Harry said.
"Yeah, I was wondering whether I'd be stuck here." Siren joked.
Harry laughed before shaking his hand with Barry and Patty and hugging Cisco and Caitlin. "Allen. Spivot. Ramon. Snow. Thank you. You've helped me become a better person than I was." He shook his hand with Joe, Wally and Iris. "Look after each other. All of you."
Siren smiled before turning to Oliver, Laurel and Sara. "Could you wait for a minute? I'd like to talk with them before we leave."
"Take your time." Harry said as Siren followed Oliver, Laurel and Sara aside.
"This is probably really strange to you, right?" Siren asked.
"Kind of." Laurel said as she eyed Siren warily. "Are you… anything like me? Asides from…" She gestured at her mouth.
"From what I've been told, you're a kind person. With a good heart." Siren admitted. "Me…" She sighed. "For a long time, it's been me, Barry and Patty, you know, we've been close friends for years. But this…" She looked around. "I'm not sure if I can return home when people might fear me for what I can do. On my Earth, metahumans are outlawed."
"Well, you don't know that until you try." Oliver said. "I can tell that you're a good person. You can go to your world and show the people, what another metahuman like their Flash can give them. Change their mind about you."
"Why would you believe in me?" Siren questioned, unsure.
"Because we know who you are." Laurel said. "You don't need to be defined by what Zoom and his metahumans had done. You can show them a better path."
Siren considered before shaking hands with Oliver, Laurel and Sara.
Later, Central City General Hospital
"Oh, easy, Patty." Henry said, as he and Barry were holding Patty, who was on a track, exercising her leg.
"Thanks, guys." Patty said.
"Well, within few weeks, hopefully you'll recover again." Barry assured.
"But what if another crazy speedster messes with us again?" Patty asked.
"Then we'll figure it out. Together, like we always do." Barry said.
"Together." Patty said as she smiled at him and they kissed, with Henry chuckling.
Barry and Patty would go through many hardships but one thing was for sure, as long as they had each other, with Joe, Caitlin, Cisco and everyone else, they could overcome anything.
The twist with the man in the iron mask being the real Jay Garrick was not that much of a surprise, considering the various interviews that the actors had had during shooting of Season 2 and the articles regarding the man in the iron mask on the Internet, although I admit I did not expect for him to be Henry Allen's doppelganger either. But it just does not work for this story, so for the sake of this story, Earth-3 Jay Garrick is another doppelganger of Harrison Wells, although imagine that he looks like Nash with beard.
Fun fact from The Flash Season 6, Earth-3 Jay Garrick's wife, Joan Williams was, unsurprisingly, Nora Allen's doppelganger but for the sake of this story, imagine Tess Morgan, E-1 Wells's wife's doppelganger.
So, at the end, no Flashpoint happening, since Henry obviously didn't die here.
This is the end of the story and I have highly enjoyed writing it. There have been requests for me to write a sequel covering Season 3 but first of all, considering that there's no Flashpoint, it would not make much sense and I'm honestly not really in the mood to rewatch Season 3 due to how painful all that WestAllen crap was. So sorry, I am not going to write a sequel to this story. I do have other Flash plot bunnies in mind, with Barry/Patty, Barry/Caitlin and Barry/Kara too, so stay tuned.
See you later with another one of my stories. Until next time, guys.
Please review and let me know if you have enjoyed the story to its end.
With regards
