"Barry, look out the window, like, right now."

The men turned to the window. Through it, they saw what looked like a giant hole in the sky, sucking out everything beneath it really slowly.

"How do I stop it?!" Shouted Barry over his comm. "Guys?!"

Eobard turned to face Britney and sighed. The doctors had finished patching up the hole in her shoulder, where the bullet had gone clean through it, but she was still out cold.

He crossed the room, kissed her forehead and said, "I will come back for you."

"You have to run around the inner rim of the singularity and someone has to release energy inside it." He told Barry.

"How much energy are we talking?" asked Detective Thawne.

"You're not really buying anything this guy says, are you?" Asked Detective West.

"We don't have a choice." Said Barry. He ran out of the hospital, calling for Firestorm as he did so. Eobard followed.

"We need energy! Can you guys whip something up?" Barry called.

"There's no time!" yelled Professor Stein.

"What do we do?!" Called Ronnie.

"We need to separate in the eye of the Singularity! The energy from the fissure should do the trick!" the Professor called back.

"Ronnie, it's too dangerous, what if you can't escape the inrush?!" Caitlin screamed over the wind.

"Cait, we have to try." Ronnie kissed her, then merged with the professor.

"Thawne, what are you doing here?" Barry called to the other speedster running around the Singularity's rim.

"Helping!" Eobard snapped back.

They both glanced up to see Firestorm flying directly into the singularity.

"Professor! Ronnie! No!" Barry shouted. Thankfully, he did not stop running. That would have been a death sentence. Firestorm ignored him, and ripped off their quantum splicer, separating them in the eye of the storm. Barry rushed to grab the falling professor, while Eobard grabbed Ronnie and ran him to safety nearby. Leaving behind the exhausted bodies of Ronnie, Barry and the Professor behind, he returned to Britney's side. He knew there was no running for him in the near future, as the last of his speed left him shortly outside Britney's door. He had to jog the last couple of steps at a normal pace.

With a sense of déjà vu, he said, "Britney, Britney, please wake up."

The Flash, Detective Thawne and Detective West burst through the door. He paid them no mind. Until they got too close.

"What are you doing?" He asked, still staring at Britney.

"We're here to take you in, Thawne." Barry growled, spitting his name out like a curse.

"…You expect me to leave Britney on her own like this?" Eobard asked.

"I'm sorry, Thawne, but you having a girlfriend does not stop us from putting you behind bars." Stated Detective West.

"Just- just give me a second, will you?" Said Eobard, voice shaking. He then scribbled a note to Britney and left it on her bedside table, placed conspicuously so she would see it.

"I surrender." Said Eobard in a defeated, hollow voice. Detective West moved to cuff him, then hesitated.

"What does the note say?" He asked Eobard, only to get no reply.

Detective Thawne snatched up the note, read it, then set it down again.

"He told her where he would be and apologized for not being there when she woke up."

"Anything else?" Barry inquired.

"…He asked her to marry him." Detective Thawne said.

"I hope she tells your ass no!" Joe snapped at Eobard before forcing him away from Britney. Barry and Detective Thawne followed, but said nothing, leaving Britney completely and utterly alone.
