As you read from the summary, this is a request from someone. I usually say no, but I thought I'd give it a try... again... for the second time. Writing a compelling story is hard enough, but trying to cater to one's request is even harder. I had to even make a few tweaks to the request.

A week has passed since Barry's first encounter with Zoom. His back was healing and he could finally walk, if barely. Until his spine is fully healed, he has to sit on the wheelchair that once belonged to Harrison Wells, or Eobard Thawne, since that was his true identity. Joe told Captain Singh that Barry is sick so no one would suspect anything.

"So, uh, what are we gonna do about Zoom?" asked Iris.

"Well, the speed dampener plan didn't work," started Cisco. "So... I got nothin'."

"I have an idea," said Barry.

"What is it?" asked Caitlin.

"Before I tell you, I need you to call an old friend," said Barry.

The next day, two familiar faces walked through the doors of S.T.A.R. Labs. It was Martin Stein and Jefferson Jackson. They were greeted by Team Flash.

"Good to see you again, Dr. Stein," greeted Cisco.

"Good to see you, too, Mr. Ramon," greeted Stein.

"So, why'd you call us?" asked Jax.

"There's this evil speedster named Zoom," said Cisco. "He's fast, like, faster than Barry. And he... broke Barry's back."

"Is he okay?" asked Stein.

"He's healing," answered Caitlin. "He should be back on his feet in a few days."

"He has an idea on how to beat Zoom, but he wouldn't tell us until you come," said Cisco.

Stein then noticed the man who looks like Harrison Wells and take a few steps back.

"Oh, right, forgot to tell you," said Cisco, feeling embarrassed. "This isn't the Harrison Wells who tried to kill us. This is another Harrison Wells. From Earth-2."

"Earth-2?" questioned Jax.

"We'll explain later," said Cisco. "Point is that this Harrison Wells is our ally now. But you can call him 'Harry'."

"Well, pleasure to meet you, uh... Harry," said Stein, extending his hand forward.

"Pleasure to meet you, Dr. Stein," replied Harry, shaking Stein's hand. "I did some research on you. You're a smart man, probably one of the smartest."

"Why, thank you," said Stein, flattered.

Jax and Stein followed Team Flash to the cortex, where Barry was slowly spinning on his wheelchair, constantly glancing at his Flash suit. When he faced the hallway, he can see Stein and Jax entering.

"Hey, professor," greeted Flash.

"Mr. Allen," greeted Stein. "How're you feeling?"

"Fine," replied Barry. "As fine as I will be."

"Okay, so your friend is here. Mind telling us now what your plan is?" asked Harry.

Barry begins to explain. "What if there was more than one speedster against Zoom?"

"What are you saying?" asked Joe.

"Zoom is from Earth-2, which, obviously, proves the multiverse theory," said Barry. "What if I can open a breach and ask for help?"

"You wanna ask speedsters from different Earths to drop whatever they're doing and help you battle Zoom?" asked Caitlin, pointing out one flaw in the plan.

"I know, Cait, I know, but this is best idea I can come up with," said Barry. "I can't take on Zoom alone. I need help."

"And Grey is here, why?" asked Jax, referring to Stein.

"I need his help in calculating how fast I need to run to open breaches to multiple Earths," answered Barry.

"But you can barely walk," reminded Iris.

"I'm not running now, but maybe tomorrow," said Barry. "What do you say, professor? Will you help me?"

"Of course, I will," said Stein.

Later that day, Cisco and Harry help Stein with his calculations, Jax visits his mother, Joe heads back to the precinct, and Iris returns to work at the CCPN, leaving Barry alone with Caitlin in the cortex.

"How's Jay?" asked Barry.

"He still refuses to come back," answered Caitlin.

"Sorry, Cait. I know you really like him," said Barry.

Caitlin was a little surprised by what Barry said.

"Sorry, I shouldn't have mentioned that," said Barry, burying his face in his hand in embarrassment.

"No, that's okay," said Caitlin. "It's not easy, you know. Moving on."

"Hey, we all have to move on some time," said Barry.

"Like you are with Patty?" replied Caitlin.

"I think I've lost my chances with Iris, so... yeah," said Barry.

"But you still love her," said Caitlin.

"I always will," said Barry. "But Joe said that I shouldn't be afraid to explore something new."

"Barry, are you sure about this plan of yours?" asked Caitlin.

"Honestly, I'm not," answered Barry. "But..."

"You need help, I know," interrupted Caitlin. "I just want to be sure you're not in over your head."

On the next day, Barry gets off the wheelchair and runs on the treadmill to make sure he feels fine. Team Flash watched and monitored.

"How is he?" asked Iris.

"Not 100%, but he's fine," said Cisco.

"Is he fast enough to go on with the plan?" asked Joe.

"There's only one way to find out," said Stein.

Team Flash head to the pipeline. Barry puts on the Flash suit for the first time in a week, ready to run.

"So, professor, how fast do I need to run?" asked Barry.

"Mach 2," answered Stein.

"He's not even 100% and you want him to run that fast?" questioned Caitlin.

"I can do it," said Barry confidently.

Cisco opens the vault to the pipeline. Barry puts on his cowl and started running around the pipeline. Team Flash monitored his speed.

"Mach 1.8. He's getting close," said Cisco.

"He can do it. I know he can," said Stein optimistically.

Flash was running as fast as he could. He was no completely healed, but he could run. The pain in his back was slowing him down, but he decided to ignore it and keep running. He started running faster until he finally reached Mach 2.

"Yes!" cheered Cisco.

As Barry ran circles around the pipeline at Mach 2, three breaches opened. Coming out of one breach is a speedster in a yellow suit with a red lightning bolt on his chest. The next speedster to pop out is wearing a white and red suit and a futuristic-looking visor. The last speedster to come out is a young woman in a suit with different shades of red, black, and yellow.

"Okay, what the hell just happened?" asked the female speedster, confused.

Flash stopped running and introduced himself to the speedster.

"Who are you?" asked the speedster in yellow.

"I'm the Flash," answered the Scarlet Speedster.

"No, I'm the Flash," said the speedster in yellow.

"I believe that's my name," said the female speedster.

Flash looks at the speedster in white. "Let me guess. You're the Flash as well?"

"Actually, the name is Impulse," said the speedster in white.

The speedster in yellow faces the Flash. "Alright, copycat, start talking."

Flash decided to take off his cowl, hoping that revealing his identity if the first step in gaining their trust.

The female speedster was surprised to see his face. "Barry?"

"Dad?!" exclaimed Impulse.

Barry was stunned by Impulse's reaction, but he was more focused on the female speedster because he recognized her voice.

"Iris?"

The female speedster lifts her cowl, revealing her face, which looks exactly like Iris West.

The speedster in yellow was surprised. "Iris?"

"Wally?" asked the female speedster, recognizing the voice of the speedster in yellow.

The speedster in yellow removes his cowl and shows his face. The look on Iris' face tells that she recognizes him.

"This is not gonna be easy," muttered Barry to himself.

This is where the first chapter ends. Don't worry. There'll be more explanation in the next chapter.

BTW I know that Impulse is Barry's grandson, not son. I just thought a few changes won't hurt. After all, in the show, Wally is Iris' brother instead of nephew.
