Anonymous Tip

"I won't spare them for you." Zoom growls at her once the station is cleared.

Blue lightning appears and she finds herself on the floor, chained to a desk in the offices. Zoom takes his mask off.

"What are you doing?" Caitlin asks, sounding sorry for him.

"Whatever I want." Jay says, squatting down to be eye level with her.

"And that's to kill people? To kill everyone?" She asks.

"Not everyone." He smiles at her.

She shakes her head. "Why bring me here? Just to see this."

"Because I don't want to be alone anymore." He says, reaching out for her face, but she jerks away. "When you're ready to let down that wall...when you're ready to be honest about who you are...you'll see. We were made for each other, Cait."

Caitlin twists her face in disgust.

"Until you realize that...I've brought other friends to keep me company." Jay looks out the precinct, a dark smirk playing on his face. He walks into the entrance to meet a man with a glowing red scythe.

"Rupture." Zoom addresses the meta.

"What do you want me to do?" The man asks for his orders.

"The cops are assembling at Jitters. They think I've spared them. Tonight, show them they're wrong." He orders.

Rupture leaves. Jay takes off his mask and walks in, noticing the look of horror on Caitlin's face.

"You disapprove."

"Of course, I disapprove." She snaps.

"You can't keep killing people. Where does it end?"

"It ends when the multiverse bows to me." Jay smirks. "But tonight...this is just a lesson. They'll learn."

Caitlin shakes her head. "Not all people are that weak. They won't submit out of fear."

"They'll submit to power." Jay argues.

"You have none." She spits. "Power is more than just intimidation."

Jay chuckles. "I guess you need to learn a lesson too." He smiles at her. "I'll be back for you tonight." He runs off.

Caitlin shakes the shackles, hoping something will be loose, but quickly feels the pain in her wrists and stops. She looks around and sees evidence boxes under the desk next to her. She sticks her foot out trying to reach it and accidentally knocks it further.

"Shit." She grunts.

She stretches out, pulling on the cuffs and reaching her leg as far as she can. She gets her foot on the other side of the box and pulls it toward her. She looks through it for anything that might help her. She finds a phone and turns it on. She sighs in relief when the screen lights up. She types in the number to S.T.A.R. Labs.

Barry is sitting across the room with his head in his hands.

"You're sure Wally will be safe there?" Joe asks Harry.

"Yes. I double checked all the security before I put Jessie there. They'll be safe at Wells' old place."

Joe sighs. "What now?"

"Why did he bring her?" Barry mumbles to himself.

Harry looks over to him. "To show power. It's the same thing he did on my earth. First it was the murders. Killed dozens of policemen and women."
