Chapter Text
Barry, Caitlin, Cisco, Jesse, Wally, Dr. McGee, Iris, Joe and Wally were having dinner and celebrating fending off Zoom's army in the West's house before much to everyone's horror, Zoom entered, as he was not incapacitated by Harry's device as he held Henry.
"Our story continues, Flash." Zoom taunted as he sped off and Barry followed him in superspeed and Wally stared in shock as all the pieces about Barry suddenly fell together, the sudden disappearances, Barry's strange behavior and apparent cowardice…
Barry followed Zoom into the Allen's old house as Hunter held Henry as a hostage.
"Dad?" Barry whispered, horrified as he stared in shock.
"It's poetic, returning to your childhood home." Zoom said.
"Jay… don't do this." Barry pleaded. "I'm begging you! Take me. Kill me!"
"No!" Henry protested.
"You still won't believe me that you and I are the same." Zoom said.
"Come on…" Barry begged.
"Barry, look at me, son. Look at me." Henry attempted to assure Barry.
"So, I'm gonna have to make you believe me." Zoom continued.
"Whatever happens, you have made me the happiest father…" Henry whispered, with tears in his eyes.
"Dad…" Barry said lowly, his eyes getting wet as well.
"This time you're gonna watch your parent die, just like I did." Zoom said.
"No. No!" Barry yelled.
"And this is what's gonna make you just like me!" Zoom shouted.
Henry attempted to assure Barry. "Your mother and I…"
"Jay…" Zoom phased his fist through Henry's chest as Barry was suddenly filled with shock and horror. "No!"
Henry fell down, dying and getting pale and trembling as Barry knelt towards him. "Dad. Dad, look at me. Don't leave me, not again. Dad! Come on, come on, come on, it's alright, Dad…" Henry stopped trembling as he drew his last breath and Barry sobbed, while Hunter smirked. "No, dad…"
"I told you family was a weakness." Zoom said. "You feel the anger, don't you, Flash? And now… the two of us are the same."
Barry's face turned red with relentless rage as he slammed Zoom to the wall. "No!"
"There you go, Flash! Use you anger, just like I did!" Zoom taunted before he sped out. Barry chased Zoom in superspeed across the city as Zoom created time remnants.
Barry and Zoom engaged in superspeed fight as Barry slammed Zoom to a wall in an alley and started to beat him up before Barry grabbed him. "I got you, Zolomon!"
"Come on, embrace your anger, end me!" Zolomon taunted as Barry was about to vibrate his hand through Zoom's chest but hesitated, not wanting to give Zoom the satisfaction. First, he almost lost his best friend, then Iris, then he lost Laurel and now his own father… Suddenly, Zoom's time remnant killed the duplicate, phasing his arm from behind in the chest as the duplicate fell down, dead.
Barry glared and roared in rage as he rushed at Zoom, slamming him repeatedly to the walls as Zoom's face was bloodied.
"That's it! Give in! Feels good, does it? All that anger…" Zoom said, laughing maniacally in satisfaction, seeing the anger in Barry's eyes. "Henry was just the first. Then I'll kill Caitlin, Cisco, Joe, Iris, everyone you…"
All Barry remembered was him snarling in rage and as he stopped, he breathed out in shock to see his hand through Zoom's chest as both men stared before Barry pulled back and Zoom's mouth filled with blood.
"You… you… are a monster… after all…" Zoom smirked, laughing in satisfaction.
"No." Barry breathed out. "I'll never be like you, Jay. I ended you because you've killed and would kill more people that I love. You kill just for the fun of it. We're nothing alike."
Hearing that, the smirk vanished from Zoom's face as he realized he had failed in his goal and a moment later, he coughed out blood and tilted his head as light left his eyes and Barry stared at his own hands in shock, not recognizing himself anymore.
