"WAIT WHAT!?" Robyn's voice resonated through the house. They had been filling her in on everything that happened since she'd left. "That's fucked up."

Barry chuckled at her expression. "Yeah, it is."

" So like, THE Dr. Harrison Wells is an evil speedster that also killed your mom?"

" Yeah, but it wasn't even the Dr. Harrison Wells. It was Eobard Thawne in Harrison Wells's body." Caitlin added to her headache.

Cisco almost looked zoned out. Probably drunk. "The literal meaning of a wolf in sheep's clothing."

" That is so true." Robyn put out her hand for a high five. In the few hours since their meeting, they'd become so close. It was bound to happen. " What happened next?"

" After the reverse flash died, there was a singularity in the sky. Ronnie, Caitlin's husband lost his life saving the city." Barry explained looking down still feeling guilty about it.

Robyn looked at Caitlin who had a sad smile on her face. "I'm so sorry for your loss."

" It's okay. He died a hero."

" I'm sure he was a great person."

Cisco chuckled remembering his time with him. " He truly was."

Robyn nodded at Barry to continue. " Right. For six month, I was working alone but we're back. Team flash is back."

" You know who else is back?" Joe voiced out reminding Barry about something very important.

" Dad. My dad got out of prison. Wells left a video confessing." Robyn gasped, eyes wide in happiness.

" Oh my god... Congratulations dude. "

" Yeah thanks. I'll bring you to his house at some point. He'll be happy to see you." Barry smiled remembering all the times he'd talk to his dad about Robyn. They were always so close.

" I'd love to see him again. God, I'm so happy to be back. " Iris hugged tighter than she already was. The whole night she was by Robyn's side fearing that she would somehow dissapear.

" I am sure that I can speak for all of us by saying that we are more than happy to have you back here, binnie." He added himself to hug just like they did as kids. " Talking about binnie, Iris! How many times do I have to tell you that it is not your nickname to use?"

" I'll use it when I want." They all laughed and the night went on like that, until they were all parting ways.

ROBYN SAT DOWN ON THE COUCH, STARING AT THE FIRE PLACE. Completely zoned out, she played with her necklace. An emerald necklace. She couldn't even hear nor see the person that had just sat down besides her.

" Hey," She snapped out of it to see Barry next to her. " Can't sleep?"

She cleared her throat. " Yeah, uhm, I guess I'm having a hard time adjusting myself. I don't know why."

" I mean, you've been away for years, it's your first night here. It's normal." He told her.

" I guess it is." A short moment of silence passed before Robyn smiled. " You really haven't changed."

" Huh?" He hummed in slight confusion.

" You haven't changed. I mean, six months alone. I can bet my left foot that it wasn't them pushing you away but more you pushing them away."

Barry chuckled, rubbing the back of his neck. " What makes you say that?"

Robyn sat up and turned to face him. " Remember 5th grade? We were partners on this science project. Everything went well until-"

" I slipped made the whole thing fall, a day before the due date." He finished her sentence remembering it vividly.

" Yup. I kept telling you that it was okay. Our teacher didn't care that much and  we had a decent grade but you. You kept blaming yourself even tho it wasn't your fault. For a whole week, you ignored and pushed me away. I gave you space for two days until I had enough. Do you remember what I did?" She held back a smile as he thought about it.

" You hit me." " I hit you."

" Hard." "Hard." They said in unison before laughing.

" Yeah, I did that. I literally smacked some sense into you." Their laughter died down as she grew more serious. " You can't push away those around each time something bad happens, bare. They're here for you. When you feel bad about something, talk to them. Don't isolate yourself like that again. Please."

He held eye contact with her, as she begged for his own good. He knows that it isn't a healthy coping mechanism and it was hard to let go of, but for her. For her he'd try. " I won't. I promise."

A small smile graced her face as she brought him into a hug. He held her tight, feeling as if time had slowed down. " I've missed this. I missed you."

She chuckled. " So did I."

Staying in eachother's warmth, they fell asleep on the couch. Just like they did when they younger. What can I say, some things never change.

"BOOM!" CISCO EXCLAIMED AS HIM AND ROBYN FINISHED UPGRADING STAR LABS SECURITY SYSTEM. " Finally, we won't be having strangers going in and out of here." He held his fist out, to which she responded by bumping Thier fists.

" Let's hope so."

Barry and Joe entered the cortex finding the team huddled around the computer area. "Hey."

" Hey, guess what? I added a little upgrade to your suit." The light shined on the new emblem. "It's just like the one from the future newspaper Gideon showed us."

" Future newspaper? Woah." Robyn exclaimed as if that was the craziest thing ever.

" Yeah, I'll tell you all about it. " Cisco told her before looking back at Barry. " I was thinking, you know, we shouldn't fear the future anymore, right?"

" No, and it'll be here faster than we think." Barry added.

" I must say, I like it, the lightning definitely pops more against the white." Professor Stein to who Robyn had been recently introduced to, said.

" And S.T.A.R Labs is now safer than ever." Caitlin started. " Increased security and surveillance."

" Re-coded, double fire-walled electronic lock sets. Nothing is getting through here without us knowing. Curtsy of Ms.Spade."

She smiled. " Let's not jinx it , but I couldn't have done it without you, Mr.Ramon." As she said that, Caitlin gasped, looking right behind her.

" For real." " Are you fucking with me right now?" Cisco and Robyn complained at the same time.

Joe got his gun out, pointing it at the intruder. " Stay where you are."

" Who are you?" Barry asked.

" You don't know me, but I know you, Barry Allen." A deep voice reached their ears.

" Take one more step, It'll be the last step you take. The man asked you a question. Who's the hell are you?" Joe asked once again sternly.

The stranger stepped into the light. " My name is Jay Garrick and your world is in danger."

" I knew I should've knocked on wood." Robyn muttered feeling the need to roll her eyes.

" How do you know my name?" Barry asked but he didn't get a direct answer.

" I know all your names. Caitlin Snow. Cisco Ramon. Detective Joe West." Before he could continue, the latter cut him off.

" Enough. That part about 'explaining' needs to happen right about now."

" This world is in danger."

" What other worlds are there?" Cisco asked completely forgetting that his new bestfriend spent 13 years in another universe.

" When you created the Singularity above Central City, you also created a breach between my world and yours."

" I'm sorry, a breach?" Iris voiced out half their thoughts.

" Yes. A portal, connecting our two Earths."

" And what precisely is your concern?" Stein questioned the stranger.

" A few days ago, you found a dead man names Al Rothstein at the nuclear plant. But then, a different Al Rothstein tried to kill you."

" Atom smasher." Cisco muttered looking at Barry.

" That man was from my world. If he got through the breach, I suspect there'll be more to follow."

" Okay. So, Jay, how exactly do you know all this?" Barry asked.

" Where I came from, I was a speedster like you. They called me the flash." The air grew thick at the shocking reveal. Disbelief filling them all. " Before I arrived on your earth, I was in a fight with a man named Zoom. "

" Zoom? I've heard that name before..." Barry said. " Atom Smasher, he said Zoom sent him here to kill me. Who is this guy?"

" He's a speedster, like you and me, and fast, maybe the fastest of all, but evil. He is an unstoppable demon with the face of death."

" We were engaged in our fiercest battle ever, racing throughout my city, but I wasn't fast enough to stop him. Zoom had me beaten. He was about to kill me, when suddenly, there was a blinding light and the sky split open. A breach between my world and yours caused from the Singularity. It pulled me in and I somehow ended up in your world. Powerless. Unable to return home."

Caitlin frowned, her hands on her waist. " What do you mean?"

Jay looked down. " I lost my speed."

" How?" The other speedster asked clearly not believing anything he said. Or at least not trusting the guy.

" I'm not entirely sure." Joe looked at Barry but he just shook his head.

" So, you've been in Central City for six months.  Why haven't you come to see us before?"Joe asked.

" I'm in a foreign world here, Detective. I didn't know who you are were. Took me that long to piece it all together."

" So that's how you know our names. You've been following us." Iris crossed her arms.

" Look, I know how this sounds." He leaned on the panel. " The existence of another Earth, you, another flash? It all came as an unexpected shock to me too. I just wish there was something I could do to convince you."

" There is." Everyone looked at their leader. " We're gonna do some tests on you. See if you're telling us the truth. Cause if you're not, this zoom, he's not gonna be your only enemy."

Robyn smiled to herself. " That was cool." She muttered to herself but he, Barry, somehow heard it.

" Is any of this possible? A breach to another Earth? It's not, right?" Iris looked almost panicked.

Professor Stein who seemed fascinated by it all explained to them. " The contrary. Just recently, the many-different-worlds theory proposed interaction with parallel universes was plausible. Now, if what Mr.Garrick's saying is true, that theory's been proven sooner than we all thought."

" I mean, I spent thirteen years in another universe which means traveling between worlds is possible. But, I didn't get to see another me or another flash. There wasn't even a central city in that universe. That's where I'm not sure if what that guy's saying is completely true." Robyn gave her opinion on it.

" I'm gonna be honest here, I don't understand what the hell any of you talking bout." Joe said which made her smile.

" So, Jay is saying that he's from, like , a mirror world. Or a parallel universe, that's very, very similar to ours." Cisco tried to explain it.

" Actually, Multiverse would be a more apt description." Stein added.

" Nope. Not helping."

" Bless your heart." Byn giggled.

" Okay. See if this helps." Professor brought a a glass board to illustrate his words. " This is our Earth. Let's call it, Earth one. And this second Earth, let's call it, Earth Two. This is where Jay claims to be from. And these other Earths, three, four, five, to infinity."

" And beyond." Cisco high-fived Robyn understanding the reference.

" All of them are nearly identical to ours, and uh, they all exist at the same time, giving us endless alternatives to what we have here. For example, uh, the Joe West on Earth two, your doppelganger, he might not be a detective. He could be a nobel prize winning physicist. And you, Barry Allen here is the flash, but over there, he could be an electrician."

" So, I'm assuming that the people on all these other Earths work to amke money to pay bills and such?"

" I imagine."

" So, we have that in common." Iris ans Robyn started laughing founding it hilarious. " I'm heading back to the station. Call me when this makes a little more sense. I'm still trying to wrap my head around the whole idea if time travel."

" There is, uh, one problem that remains." Stein brought back their attention to him. " If Mr.Garrick is telling the truth, there is a breach somewhere in Central City that we need to find and close for good."

" Yeah, but how do we find it? We don't even know what to look for." Cisco asked.

" Well, I suggest we put our heads together and come up with a solution. Not literally, of course. Those days are over." Stein and Cisco left.

" You coming?" Cisco asked Robyn which almost caught her off guard.

" Huh? Oh yeah." She said before looking at Iris and Barry. "See y'all later. Tell me if anything new comes up, ay?"

" Yeah." He nodded watching leave.

A/n:

Hey, hey, hey!

Jay Garrick has arrived. Never liked that guy.

Ignore the fact that this happens in episode one right after Barry drops off his dad.

I realized I hadn't given Barry and Robyn much "just the two of us" moments, so I hope y'all liked that.

Wait what should be their ship name? Barbyn? Oh hell no. Rorry? No. Spade-Allen? Stop, R'n'B?? That's cute not gon lie. What do y'all think?

What do you think about this chapter? I kinda like it but there's some parts I'm not sure about.

Anyways, Thank you for reading!
