A demon with the face of a man

Barry and Peter have visited Light in the pipeline and she explains to how Zoom wanted them dead and when they were dead, she would take Barry's emblem to prove he was dead and throw it through the breach and he would confirm thy were dead. She also warned them they can't stop Zoom, but it's not like they're gonna listen to that.

"Zoom wants Dr. Light to send him your emblem?" Caitlin asks him.

"Yes, If we can get dr. Light to take my emblem, throw it though the breach, then Zoom will come to collect my body, and we can trap him." Barry tells them the plan.

"And what about Peter? How's he supposed to know he's dead?" Cisco wonders since they were sent to kill Peter as well.

"As for what she says, Zoom doesn't think I'm that much of a threat, he wants Barry dead, and if I was left, he would finish me off himself if needed to." Peter explains to them.

"This is the woman who was willing to kill Linda and you in order to escape Zoom, but now she's willing to help us catch him?" Caitlin asks them.

"She knows that there's no other way out." Barry tells her and Harry approaches.

"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 tells them.

"Great, that could be this years cold gun, while we're at it why not a new Spider Slayer? Maybe another criminal can get it, and then we'd have Sergeant Slow and Spider-Killer." Caitlin tells them, sarcasm on every part of her statement.

"I would never let that happen. Sergeant Slow is a terrible name." Cisco informs Caitlin. "But Spider-Killer isn't half bad."

"Are we forgetting how more powerful Zoom is compared to Barry? I mean, Barry can catch bullets, Peter can dodge a dozen bullets. What's to say Zoom can't catch whatever you shoot at him?" Caitlin asks, not wanting to see anything happen to her friends.

"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 doesn't see." Harry tells her and they all agree, except for Caitlin who still thinks this is a bad idea.

Joe and Cisco don't know if Harry can actually be trusted or not, but Caitlin remembers her and Peter's talk and knows he can be trusted, if he's hiding something, he has his reason. Everyone has secrets, no need to make everyone share everything about them.

"I'm gonna head to Mercury labs, see what I can find to stop him." Peter tells everyone as Cisco goes to feed the metas. As Peter was leaving, Light used her powers to go invisible and used it to escape.

"Dr. Light managed to black into the lights of her cell. The whole building runs in fiber optics that operate on pulse of light, so she turned off the dampeners and used her powers to reflect off herself to go invisible." Peter tells them.

"I thought I convinced her to help us, so she could be free of Zoom." Barry says and they see they need a new plan to lure Zoom. "How are we doing with the speed dampener?"

"I think we isolated the composite. And were modifying the dart that Oliver used to take down Wells." Cisco tells them.

"We don't even know if this thing works." Joe states.

"Until we try it, no we don't. This will be a field test, so can we end this and get back to work?" Harry asks them.

"Maybe it's a good thing that dr. Light is gone. Maybe it's the universe stopping us from doing something stupid." Joe replies to Harry.

"No. We're going to find another way to lure Zoom." Peter says as Harry leaves.

"You seem to trust this guy an awful lot, Peter. Wanna explain why?" Joe asks the web slinger.

"My six sense trusts him, so I trust him. My six sense doesn't trust Jay, so I don't trust Jay. That's how I work, Joe. I don't know what it is about Jay that can't be trusted, but Harry has good intentions. He wants to help stop Zoom, Jay...I don't know." Peter explains and leaves to Mercury labs.

Later Barry brings Linda to Star labs with an idea to use her to pretend to be Dr. Light. They bring her to the basement where they have a bunch of targets set up for her to hit.

After a few tries, Linda has the suit and some gloves that Cisco rigged up from Cisco and after some trial and errors, she starts getting the hang of it, mostly. Not enough to fool Zoom...let's face it, she's terrible.

"Did you find somewhere near a breach so we don't have to worry about civilians getting in the way?" Peter asks Cisco, changing the subject.

"Yeah, there's a place by the docks that's usually deserted at night." Cisco tells him.

"And the speed dampener?" Barry asks Caitlin.

"My tests indicate that it should work." Caitlin tells him.

"Are we actually going through with this?" Cisco asks Barry.

"Yeah, we're doing this, I'm gonna have Iris get Linda ready." Barry tells them and starts leaving and Joe goes to have a talk with him.

As he leaves, Peter looks back at his suit and wonders if he does have what it takes to stop Zoom. He could barely stand the Lizard or even most of these Earth-2 counterparts.

"What are you thinking, Peter?" Caitlin asks him, seeing him starting at his suit.

"You think I can beat Zoom?" Peter asks her straight up.

"Honestly? I believe Spider-Man can do anything, if he knows what he's doing." Caitlin tells him and he's satisfied with that answer.

"Hey, there's something I wanted to ask you." Peter tells her and gets her full attention.

"When we were watching for Light yesterday, what do you remember?" Peter asks her and sees her blushing.

"Was I supposed to remember something?" She asks him and they don't know what to say and they just start blushing at each other, and decide to leave it unspoken.

Linda is at the waterfront fighting Barry, trying to make it as real as possible. Let's just say they're failing at making it look real, but hopefully real enough for Zoom to buy it.

After "beating" Barry, Linda takes his emblem and throws it into the portal and they wait.

They now just wait for something with Harry and Joe in the distance with Peter. Joe and Harry have the guns at the ready as Peter is there for when his Spider senses go off, they know he's approaching.

It's been over an hour, and nothing is happening and they decide to call it quits. As he passes everything, Wells knocks over everything.

"I think he's taking this harder than the rest of us." Peter states and Barry goes to talk to Joe.

As they return to Star labs to learn what they did wrong, Zoom kidnapped Linda from Central news when Peter senses go off...and it's the biggest they've ever gone off.

"Peter, what's wrong?" May asks as every hair on Peter's body stands straight.

"I've never felt fear like this before..." Peter says as Barry gets a call from Iris that Linda was taken and the alerts go off everywhere that Zoom is on the roof. Barry grabs Peter and zooms to the roof to fight him.

They go to the roof and see Zoom in person. His dark blue lightning flickering off of him, along with his demon like eyes and mask that would give the devil nightmares.

"You like to fish with bait?" Zoom asks with his menacing voice. "I do too." He says while he drops Linda and Peter leaps after her and saves her before she could hit the floor as Barry speeds down to them both.

"You need to get out of here, now." Peter warns Linda as she leaves and Zoom speeds down to them and they're ready to fight.

"Remember, stay together, we can stop him." Barry tells Peter and he agrees.

An idea and starts running sprung the labs to charge up lightning. Zoom just stares as Barry throws the lightning at him, but before they could do anything else, Zoom garbed Barry's lightning and threw it at him, sending him into the wall, knocking him unconscious.

"You guys saw that, right?" Peter asks in shock to what he saw. No, forget shock. He's downright afraid to what he just saw this...thing do. Because whatever that is, it's no human.

"See him catch a bolt of lightning with his demonic claws? Yeah, saw that." Cisco tells him.

"Peter, you can't stop him alone. You need to get out of there." Caitlin pleads him and he turns off the com link so they don't hear what he's going to do. He grabs into his boot and pulls out the speed dampener serum Harry perfected.

"Let's hope I was right to put faith in you, Wells." Peter mumbled and walks towards Zoom. "What do you want from us?" Peter asks the monster.

"Everything." Zoom answers and that confuses Peter.

"What did we do to you? You seriously want to be us? You want to be a hero?!" Peter asks him and hears a demonic chuckle exits his mouth.

"Heroes die." Zoom informs him.

"Only if you're good enough to stop them." Peter comments and Zoom charges at him, and the two start fighting back and forward.

The two dodge and swing punches back and forward, thanks to Peter's senses he had a upper hand against his speed. But Zoom is fast, if Peter doesn't keep his focus, Zoom will kill him.

Peter grabs Zoom's fist and Zoom does the same to him as Peter looks into his demonic eyes and gets a familiar sense when he sees him and realizes something...

"Jay..?" Peter asks and Zoom starts using his super speed to get the upper hand while Peter's in shock.

Barry sees Zoom stab Peter in his back and speeds to stop Zoom, but all that did was antagonize him more and Zoom gives Barry the same treatment he gave Peter.

Wells came out to help and stop Zoom, but he saw the tranq coming and stoped it. "Never forget, I am the fastest man alive." Zoom states and stabs Barry with the dampener.

Peter starts trying to get up and looks at Zoom.

"I knew...you couldn't be trusted." Peter tells Zoom, knowing his darkest secret.

Zoom just punches him in the face countless times and drags the heroes across the city.

His first stop being Central News and shows them the heroes beaten senseless.

"Look at your heroes. These men are no gods, they are nothing." Zoom tells all of them and speeds off for the CCPD.

At the CCPD, they all look in shock to see Flash and Spider-Man beaten to a pulp.

"The days of the Flash and Spider-Man protecting this city are over." Zoom tells the cops.

"Now what will you do without your precious heroes?" Zoom asks them and they open fire to try to kill him, but Zoom drops Spider-Man and grabs all of the bullets, making it pointless and speeds the heroes off again.

"Do we know where they are?" May asks since the tracking system on their suits are going everywhere.

"They could be anywhere in the city." Cisco tells her when Zoom speeds into the labs and they see their friend and family beaten.

"Barry!" Cisco shouts.

"Peter!" Caitlin and May shouts seeing him beaten.

"Harrison Wells, you thought you could defeat me with these?" Zoom asks while still holding the heroes.

"I made a mistake." Harry tells him.

"Yes, a costly one." Zoom comments and gets ready to kill Peter, since he actually knows his secret.

That is when a dart hits him in the neck and they look to see May is holding the speed dampener gun. Zoom speeds off and they run to check on the heroes.

Later, May and Caitlin moved Barry and Peter into the medical room to help them.

"This is all you! If Barry or Peter die, you die!" Joe warns Harry.

"Joe, both Barry and Peter's viatals have stabilized. Just let it go." Caitlin tells him.

"No, Caitlin." Joe tells her.

"Joe, stop. Who's Jesse?" Cisco asks Harry and he vibes his daughter, Jesse Wells, and Zoom has kidnapped her.

"That's why you're here. Why Peter's senses were telling him you were here for a good reason. You're here to save your daughter." Caitlin states and Harry explains that he needs Peter and Barry's help to stop Zoom to save her.

Later Barry starts waking up and he's at least okay. He starts getting up and sees Peter in the bed next to him with May watching over him.

"How bad did he get it?" Barry wonders since it seems he got the better end of the beating.

"It's bad. If he didn't heal as quickly, I'd be very worried." Caitlin explains.

"Linda?" Barry wonders, hoping she's okay.

"She's staying with some friends in Coast City." Cisco tells him as Caitlin tells Barry he needs to stay down after everything.

That night, everyone went home, except Caitlin who offered to keep Peter company for when he wakes up, and he doesn't seem to be doing that any time soon.

Zoom beat his face in, attacked his spine with his claws, and much more.

She just looks over his face that looks better than it did this morning.

"Hey, Peter. I don't know if you can hear me, but if you can I need you to wake up. I can't loose you too, Peter. I need you." Caitlin says while tears roll down her face and she grabs Peter's hand.

"You asked if I remembered what happened when we were staying out for dr. Light..." Caitlin says and leans in and quickly pecks his lips. "That's what I was gonna do. I'm just afraid to tell you, because I think you see me only as a friend. You just don't seem to be interested in anything more, Peter." Caitlin explains, knowing she's expressing her feelings to a man who can't hear her.

As she just sits in silence, she looks to see Peter is starting to wake up. "Caitlin?" Peter asks seeing her.

"Peter, you're awake!" Caitlin screams in joy, happy he's awake again.

As Peter tries standing up, he tries to recall what happened, and remembered the fight with Zoom. "No, you're still healing, you are staying here." Caitlin tells him and Peter starts getting worried.

"Cait, I can't feel my legs..." Peter tells her and now that gets her worried.
