Chapter Thirty-One

38 hours before Doctor Wells goes to the future.

"Bethany messed up my order again!" I yelled as I walked into the he cortex, everyone's eyes on me with wide eyes. "Just let me deep fry her press on nails!" I slammed my drink on the table, Cisco's hands stretching in front of the keyboard in case it spilled.

"It was just the wrong cup size." Caitlin said as she sipped on her drink. I grumbled, crossing my arms as I leaned back.

"Bethany better sleep with one eye open tonight." I muttered as Cisco's eyes widened.

"Okay, never mess up Cora's order." Cisco noted as I nodded, waiting for Barry to enter the Cortex.

"Okay, I'm here. Sorry Iris said something about printing 2000 copies of missing persons instead of 200 for Eddie-" Barry made eye contact with me as my face suddenly changed from a happy expression to a sad one.

I still missed Eddie. Not as much as Iris, but I didn't have a good feeling about how things would end.

"So. . . Anything in Wells?" Barry asked before he too became sad.

"Well. . . I kept asking myself. . . why would Wells pretend to need a wheelchair?" Cisco asked as he brought over Wells chair.

"Sympathy?" Barry suggested.

"Something he made that he put into his wheelchair to make him faster?" I said as Cisco stopped, turning to me. "Before you ask, no, I'm not reading your mind. I'm just really go old at guessing."

"That's freaky how accurate you are." Cisco said as he ripped open the back of Wells wheelchair to reveal some weird tech.

"Woah. That looks like some Back to The Future type shit." I muttered as Cisco nodded in agreement.

"It looks like the tech inside Gideon." Barry said as Cisco once again nodded.

"I measured the output, and this thing is kicking off serious juice. I mean, we're talking enough to power all of Central City." Cisco said as I raised my brows.

"Seriously?" I asked as Cisco scoffed.

"Oh yeah."

"What do you think Wells was using it for?" Joe asked as Cisco shrugged.

"I think this thing is some kind of battery." Cisco said.

"Battery?" Barry asked.

"As in Wells was using it to power himself." I answered as Barry made an "o" with his lips.

"To gain more speed." Cisco said

"And that's why he's so much faster than you." Joe said as we all nodded.

BEEP BEEP BEEP

Everyone jumped as Cisco and I ran to the monitors, my heart dropping as well as my mouth. "T-the particle accelerator. I-its-"

"It's been reopened." Cisco finished for me as I turned to Barry, whose eyes widened.

"How is that possible? It blew up!" Caitlin said as I shook my head in confusion.

"It-It had to have been rebuilt." I answered as my mind suddenly grew a lightbulb.

"Wells." Barry and I said in unison.

"Even if he did rebuild it, how did Dr. Wells turn the particle accelerator on?" Caitlin said as I looked at Barry.

"He's here." Barry muttered as I felt my heart stop

"That's why we couldn't find him. He's been inside S.T.A.R. Labs the whole time." Joe said as Barry gave us a look we all knew.

"I'll get the soda." I muttered as we all ran to the accelerator.
