Zoom says they have similar backgrounds but Barry wants to be the hero and that's why Zoom will beat him.

Zoom says while Barry is being the good little boy, he will be busy winning. Barry rushes out to save the people from a building Zoom just let crumbled.

Barry returns to the lab and says they can't let Zoom destroy another building and they need to take him down. The rest of the team is trying to tell Barry that there is no way to stop all of the meta-humans at once.

Barry aims his attention toward Cisco who believes they can create tech that would help them take down multiple meta-humans at once. Barry is still confident and it seems to be creeping them out.

Joe asks to talk to Barry for a second. Cisco vibes again and sees birds hitting the windows of a building and falling to the ground. He gets out of it and he is confused.

She begins her sonic screams at Barry and it knocks him down. He can't seem to handle it and Black Siren then takes advantage of his weakness and beats him up a bit.

Joe is not happy with Barry when he hears what Wally did. He is upset with Barry for not trying hard enough but Barry tells Joe they have luck on their side.

Iris asks Barry if he knows he is not invincible. Barry says he does but Iris says that none of them are invincible. She says that a little fear is good because it helps them realize the risks.

She thinks both The Flash and Wally can use a bit of that. Meanwhile, Black Siren visits Zoom and tells her about her run-in with The Flash.

Zoom tells her to knock down more buildings so that team Flash won't know what he is up to. Black Siren asks what he is up to and Zoom says, "no good."

Cisco is testing out new tech that he and Wells developed to help Barry stop all Earth-2 meta-humans.

The meta-human alert app goes off at the end of the demonstration and the team realizes they have to do something fast.

Black Siren says she doesn't think she has taken down so many buildings at once when she hears Killer Frost say, maybe she isn't as powerful as she thinks.

She walks over to see Reverb and Killer Frost standing there. Or is it Caitlyn and Cisco dressed as their counterparts? Black Siren says she thought they were dead.

Reverb says they thought so too and they would like Zoom to think so.

Frost asks Reverb to give her a chance but Reverb says she is not ready. They says they are able to take on Zoom and they convince her to be her own master and own god.

Wells gives Joe a very complex explanation of what the machine is and they turn it on as Barry races off to make it stronger. Black Siren asks Reverb and Frost their plan and says she likes the sound of that.

However, Black Siren asks Reverb to catch a pipe. He catches it with his right hand instead of his left and Black Siren has them cornered and caught in a lie.

Black Siren tries to attack but Cisco does something to push her back. He tries to do it again but he can't. In the meantime, Barry's effect kicks in and starts to effect Zoom.

Unfortunately both of the headsets don't work and Wells is forced to give his to Jesse, causing him to be knocked out.

Henry tells her it's okay and they will take care of him. Meanwhile, Zoom managed to open up a portal and escape.

Cisco has Black Siren caught and he mocks her. They decide to keep her existence away from Lance and Sara. Caitlyn says she thinks she is going to be okay if she continues to help save the world.
