Travelling through the speed force was an experience Caitlin struggled to explain. Everything flashed around you, things that could be real, but things that could be there to distract you, fool you. Zoom had her held tight, and even if she could move, she was almost certain she would hold onto him. Being with him seemed to be better than being in the speed force. They emerged in Central City, she knew the feel of her own Earth. Zoom kept running, weaving through the streets. Caitlin tried to figure out where he was taking her, but it was all a blur around her. Travelling at this speed, it made her feel sick. In addition to travelling between Earths, Caitlin couldn't handle this.

They sped into the police station, Zoom dropping her at the stop of the staircase, before he raced down a level.

"Zoom!" screamed Joe. Quickly, he pulled out his gun, ready to shoot if needed. But that wouldn't work against Zoom, he was faster than a speeding bullet.

"Hello old friend," Zoom said back. His voice echoed around the station, and Caitlin could see the fear in most of the officers' eyes. They all started to raise their guns against Zoom as well.

"Stay away from him," replied Joe, pushing Wally further behind him.

"Do not move," said Captain Singh, keeping his gun pointed at Zoom.

"Or what? You tried your guns on me once before," mocked Zoom, his head glancing around the station.

"No!" Caitlin quickly yelled, Zoom immediately turning to face her. "Don't hurt them," she continued, trying to keep as much authority in her voice as possible. But her hands shook where she was holding onto the railing. "Let them go, please," she begged.

"Tell everyone, that this city is mine. Anyone who disobeys me, will meet their end," threatened Zoom, glancing up at Caitlin.

"Alright, clear out," said Captain Singh, everyone slowly moving away. Joe looked up to Caitlin who nodded for him to leave. Once the station was cleared, Zoom took his hat off, revealing the face of the monster. He walked slowly up the stairs to Caitlin, she thought about running away. But where could she go that he couldn't stop her? Barry had lost his speed, and they had no idea she was here yet. Joe would tell them, but for now there was no escaping from here. And Zoom, she doubted he planned on letting her leave without a fight.

"I let them live, for you Caitlin," he said as he reached her, raising a hand towards her cheek. She wanted to flinch away, but he would do what he wanted with her. She couldn't help matters right now, she needed to play her cards right. He closed his eyes when his hand reached her cheek. Caitlin wanted nothing more than to be away from him, to never see Hunter again. "You should thank me, everything I am doing, I am thinking of you," he whispered, raising his other hand to her other cheek. "Say thank you," he whispered.

"Thank you," she muttered, trying hard not to grimace at the feel of his hands on her.

"I do want you to see how much I love you," he whispered. "But you don't understand yourself yet, but you will. Then you will realise how much you truly love me, and how much we need each other," he continued to whisper, and Caitlin couldn't take it anymore. She stepped out of his grip, racing backwards, falling to the floor. "You almost had me fooled," he muttered, pulling his hood back on. He grabbed her in a burst of lightning, and when they stopped, Caitlin had her hand cuffed to the edge of a table, trapping her.

"You know they are going to figure out a way to stop you right?" she said, trying to break free.

"Who? Barry? Wells? The police? No, nobody can stop me now. Not anymore," he said, a smile on his face.

"So what's your plan? Are you just going to kill everyone?" Caitlin asked, giving up on trying to break free.

"Not everyone," said Hunter, looking at her. He intended for some to live, of course he did. He needed subjects to rule over. And it appeared that he wanted Caitlin to be one of these.

"Then why are you keeping me here," she said, triggering something in Hunter's mind. If Caitlin had to guess, it had something to do with his mother.

"Cause I don't want to be alone anymore," he whispered. In that moment, Caitlin felt so sorry for him, his childhood wasn't his fault. Hunter wanted someone to be there, but she couldn't be that for him.

"I am never going to be with you," she replied. Hunter smiled.

"You think that you are not like me," Hunter said, kneeling down beside her. "But I have seen the darkness inside of you Caitlin, just like it was in Killer Frost. All you have to do is unlock it," he said, before racing out of the room. Caitlin quickly looked around, and saw something to help. Evidence boxes were stacked just behind the desk, which she tried to reach for. Her legs managed to grab hold of a box, allowing her to pull it towards her. She finally managed to pull a phone out of a box, muttering yes to herself. When loud footsteps echoed in the background, Caitlin quickly shoved the box away and put the phone in her back pocket. She watched Zoom talk to a man with a scythe.

"And?" he asked, clearly wanting an update. Zoom was never patient.

"He got away, but I'll find him," replied the man. His voice was manipulated, deeper than she expected it would be.

"Later," interrupted Zoom.

"He needs to pay for what he did to my brother!" shouted the man.

"And he will, later Rupture," replied Zoom. So the man with the scythe was called Rupture.

"What do you want me to do?" asked Rupture. Even the metahumans who worked for him seemed to be scared to death of him. Zoom ruled not by loyalty, but fear.

"The police have gathered again, they think I've spared their lives. Tonight, show them they are wrong," he said, and Rupture walked away. Zoom turned to Caitlin, pulling his mask off.

"You said you would spare them," she replied, fear leaking onto her face. They would be trapped like rats, Rupture would have the element of surprise and be able to take them down. And that could include Joe. Caitlin couldn't let that happen, she cared about him too much.

"I need to teach them a lesson," he said, lowering himself down to her. The way he spoke, it sounded as though killing the police was the most logical, normal thing he could do. Killing meant nothing to him, it was merely a tool to get what he wanted. He was proud of it, his victims count his measure of success.

"If that why you change your voice, so that, everyone will be afraid of you?" she said.

"As you once said," he started, his eyes turning black. "I'm nothing but a monster," he said in his echoing voice. It scared her, instinctually it scared her and she couldn't control that. He raced off, leaving her alone. She quickly pulled the phone from her back pocket, and started typing as fast as she could.

RUPTURE ATTACKS JITTERS 2NITE

She hit send quickly, hoping that it would give them enough warning to stop him. If anyone else got hurt that was close to her, she couldn't take it. Barry had already given his speed up for that demon. For Barry that was everything. Caitlin saw so much more in him than the Flash. She saw the man, the kind, goofy, intelligent man who she loved with all her heart.

She sat there, just waiting, hoping that her message had given them what they needed. Zoom raced in at one point to turn the TV on.

"You need to see what happens," he hissed, before heading back out. She sat, waiting for something to happen. Then there it was.

"Breaking news coming out of Jitters Coffee Shop. CCPN has learned that a metahuman was just apprehended after an altercation with the Flash."

Caitlin smiled.

"You told them Rupture was coming," she heard, quickly turning to see Hunter. "How?" he asked. "How!" he yelled. She glanced over to the boxes of evidence. "Oh you are smart, aren't you. You betrayed me!" he screamed, looking hurt.

"You said you would spare them," she replied, pleading with him.

"I guess now we are even," he said, pulling his mask on, blue electricity crackling across his body.

"Jay, no!" yelled Caitlin.

"My name is Zoom," he scowled, before racing out of the room. She turned to the TV just as he appeared on screen. He stood in the entrance.

"Oh my god. No!" screamed Caitlin.

"Make sure you get this!" said Zoom to the camera man, who raced closer to him.

"Everybody move!" she heard Joe yell off camera. Electricity darted around Zoom, and Caitlin watched as almost every person fell to the ground, the camera included. She listened, the camera still at the ground.

"I told you what would happen if you disobeyed me," she heard Zoom say, no doubt holding someone by the throat.

"Stop, stop!" she heard Barry's voice say. "You've made your point," Barry continued. Caitlin wished he would get out of there, away from Zoom and to safety.

"Not quite yet," Zoom replied, and Caitlin screamed. Who was he going to kill next? She heard the sound of someone dying. "You're an even bigger disappointment than your brother," she heard him say, the sound of a body hitting the ground. Zoom moved to pick up the camera, and Caitlin found herself breathing in. Barry was alive.

"Central City, the Flash you see in your streets is a fake, a hologram, made to give you hope. But there is no more hope. There is no more Flash. And there is no one left to protect your city, from me!" Zoom said looking into the camera. "Now you will watch as your head of police dies," he said. Caitlin had to act quickly. She pulled the phone from her pocket, dialling Cisco's number.

"Pick up!" she screamed.

"Hello?' she heard Cisco's voice say.

"Cisco, I need you to get me through to that room, somehow, just do it!" she yelled.

"Barry, can you hear me?" he said, to the ear piece Barry must have had in. Caitlin waited, worrying every second of silence that went by. "Barry, its Caitlin. Tell Zoom that she is on the line," Cisco said.

"Wait!" she heard Barry say, and Caitlin quickly looked up to the television. "Its Caitlin," he continued, pulling the ear piece out and offering it to Zoom. The feed on the television went blank.

"Caitlin," she heard a voice saw through the phone.

"Please, Hunter, I am begging you," she started, tears streaming down her cheeks. "Please do not kill them. If you feel anything for me, I am asking that you do not kill them," she continued. There was silence on the other end. "If you love me, then spare them. I am begging you to spare them," Caitlin said, trying to keep the tears from her words. "Please, Hunter. I will do whatever you ask," she said, taking a deep breath. "I will do whatever it takes for you to spare them," she continued. "Please," she finished, her voice cracking. The line went dead. "No," she muttered, dropping the phone to the ground. "No!" she screamed, her cheeks flooding with tears. Then she heard the sound of lightning entering the room, Zoom coming to gloat over killing them. Before she could blink, she was standing in Jitters.

Joe and Captain Singh stood in the middle of the room, Barry behind them. He smiled at seeing her, but that vanished when Zoom reached out for her, pulling her close to him. He pulled his hood down.

"You want me to spare them?" he asked, looking down at her face. Caitlin took a deep breath, knowing that this was not going to be easy. She got down to her knees.

"I am begging you, pleading for you to spare them," she said, looking up at him. "Please, let them go," she whispered. The smile on Zoom's face scared her so much.

"To spare them I need two things from you," he whispered, placing a finger under Caitlin's chin and tilting her face even further upwards. "First," he said, placing his hands around her waist, and lifting her up from the ground. "You are going to have to convince me that you understand that your love for Barry is an illusion," he said, and Caitlin quickly turned to look at him. Barry looked so shocked, and rightly so. Caitlin knew better than to confess her feelings to him. He had Iris, he didn't need her in that way, he couldn't need her in that way. She had never wanted him to find out, and now Zoom had told him. "Convince me," said Zoom, tilting her head back to face him. "That a girl like you could never love anyone like Barry," he whispered.

"The second?" asked Caitlin. She almost didn't want to know.

"Soon enough," said Zoom, facing her towards Barry. Caitlin took a deep breath. She had never been a good actor. Her mind was always scientific, not drama based. Trying to act was never her strong suit. Each step to Barry she tried to change the image of him. Replace him with Zoom. She took one final deep breath before she stood in front of him.

"Its okay," whispered Barry, trying to calm her down.

"My patience is running thin," warned Zoom, stepping towards her. "Convince me, or they all die," he finished, running his hand up her arm.

"Barry," she started, staring him directly into the eyes. She wanted to collapse into his arms, but she couldn't because otherwise he would die. "How could I ever love someone like you?" she started, filling her voice with the hatred she had for Zoom. "I could never care for someone so weak, someone who can't even protect those he loves," she continued, and she saw Barry stumble slightly. She knew it was a low blow, but she knew it would work with Zoom. "I despise you," she spat, moving away from him. She quickly wiped a tear from her eye. The room fell silent. Then a singular clap rang out. Followed by more.

"You finally understand don't you?" said Hunter, moving across to her, grabbing her cheek with his hand. "You understand that you don't love Barry," he whispered, a smile on her face.

"What is the second thing?" asked Caitlin, looking away from him.

"Kiss me," he said, and she stepped back slightly. "Kiss me," said Zoom, stepping towards her and grabbing her in his grip. "Kiss me, and prove that we love each other," he whispered. Caitlin wasn't sure how much longer she could hold back the tears. She glanced around the room, the people who she was trying to save. Joe, who had become like a father to her. Captain Singh, who worked so hard to protect this city. And Barry, who she loved so much. She turned back to Zoom, looking him in the eyes, and raising a hand to his cheek. She slowly moved her lips up towards his, pressing them against his. She tried to pretend it wasn't Zoom she was kissing, but it was a struggle. It seemed to have worked, Zoom kept her pushed up against him, keeping her lips tight against his. When he finally pulled away, Caitlin stepped backwards.

"See Barry," said Zoom, with a smile spreading across his face. Caitlin looked across to Barry, who had gone slightly pale and was staring right at her. "She is mine!" he screamed. "You all live because of her. Try anything like this again, and even she," he said, looking across to Caitlin. "Even she will not be able to save you," he swore.

"Barry!" screamed Caitlin, before Zoom rushed them both out of Jitters. When they arrived back at the precinct, she found herself handcuffed again, and a monster with a grin on his face staring down at her.
