"How do I look?" My doppelganger spoke, as I stared at her, blood dripping down from my lip, a small cut by my eyebrow, and a bruise on my cheek. "Do I look enough like you? I mean- I straighten my hair- I'm wearing this sweater- the jeans- the boots. I've practically mastered thee Earth One; Zee Young."
I lightly roll my eyes before looking away, as she spoke again, grabbing a water bottle, "You're- well I'm going to need to look like I had just ran like hell from getting kidnapped- so-" She unscrews the cap and pours some water into her palm, splashing it onto her face, then dabbing the excess that was left on her hand around her body.
"What the hell are you doing?" I stare at her, sniffling, my tone; rude.
She stays silent, as she wiped away some water from her face, leaving it somewhat damp, her fresh application of mascara now running, the dabs of water around her body representing sweat.
"Now- it's time for me go back to your earth." She says, as she tilts my face up by putting her hand under my chin, "And pretend to be Barry Allen's beloved."
I stay silent, another tear slipping my eye, as she speaks one last time, "His days of being the Flash will be over."
With that, she leaves.

I was pacing in the middle of the cortex, as I ran my hands through my hair. Harry admitting to stealing my speed and giving it to Zoom wasn't helping my mood at all, in fact it had made me angrier and more upset.
"We need to find her." I spoke, as my head snaps towards Cisco and Caitlin.
"She's been missing for the past twenty four hours." Cisco states the obvious, "We've been looking for her since the broadcast Zoom did. We've got nothing-"

My voice unintentionally raises, as my anger towards both Harry and Zoom increases, stress and worry clouding my thoughts, "We need to find her!" I repeat, as Caitlin flinches at my sudden outbreak.
"There's no need-" A weak voice comes from the hall that lead into the cortex, causing me to spin around and face it, seeing Zee standing there, breathing heavily, tears down her face with her mascara running, her hair a small mess but contained, shaking slightly as she stood there.
"How did you-" I start to say, as I quickly make my way over to her, pulling her into my chest, holding her as tight as I could, "How did you escape-"
"Zoom's faster than Barry. He has eyes everywhere- how in the hell did you escape?" Cisco asks her, staring at her with slight wide eyes, in suspicion.
"He let me go- he was trying to get a rise out of you- to make you like him- I don't know-" Zee speaks, her voice shaky, "He somehow sent me through the breach in the breach room-" She explained, due to that being the only breach existing because Harry and I destroyed all the others.
Caitlin stares at her, as if she wasn't buying what she was saying, as was Cisco, but I was too relieved to see her okay to even think for a second that something could be up.
My eyes trail down to her neck, "Where's your necklace?"
Her tone changes, as it is threaded with confusion, "My- necklace?"
"The one I gave you for Christmas, last year? You've worn it every day since-" I explain, staring at her in confusion, as it was equal to the confusion in her voice.
"Oh- my necklace. That- I dropped- it broke- it's gone- I lost it." She says quickly to recover, as I hesitantly nod and rubbing her back to comfort her.

[ zee's pov ]
I struggle against the ropes that had me tied, as I let out a huff in exhaustion after a while. A weak voice spoke from one of the cages, the other cage, the man in the mask hitting against the glass in taps, "Who are you?"
My head snaps up as I look at the girl, staying silent, as she speaks again, "You're not from here- she said welcome to earth two- she looks exactly like you. What does Zoom want with you?"
"You're Jesse. Harry's- Harrison Wells' daughter." I say in realization, as I fix my position.
She gives me a sly nod, "You know my dad?"
I give her a nod in return, "Yeah- yeah. He's trying really hard to find you, Jesse." I try to assure her, as I go silent.
"What does Zoom want with you?" She asks me again, as I look at her.
I stare at her, trying to come with an outcome in my head, as I do, "I am currently- in a relationship with- his target."
"Oh." She quietly says.
My question is quick to pop up, "What is- she to Zoom?"
"Who?" Jesse asks me, as she sniffles quietly, due to crying for a while.
"Zee. The one that looked exactly like me." I explain, as she answers my question.
"Zee- she goes by Reign when she's all suited up and whatnot." She coughs lightly, another sniffle coming from her, as I could see the dry stains from her tears on her cheek, "Reign and Zoom are siblings. She's his younger sister. I don't know who Zoom is- but Zee is open about her identity here- everyone fears her because of her relationship with Zoom- and the fact that she's practically a stronger version of Firestorm."
Reign was Zoom's younger sister.
Reign was my doppelganger.
Would that mean the man behind Zoom's mask was the doppelganger of my brother?
But it wouldn't make any sense, because Jay Garrick looks exactly like Hunter.
I push my thoughts to the side, and I stay silent, trying to think of a way to get out of the ropes I had been tied with.

Apocalypse Wow
If you are reading this you have lost your memory. Again. You dumb jerk. I have no interest in writing our life story - it’ll come back to you. For now, this is what’s up: 1. We are looking for a god named Tiger. 2. He can stop the apocalypse, but apparently does not know that. 3. If the apocalypse is ongoing, we haven't told him yet. Also, we believe that life is absurd, loving relationships make it worth living, and it's best to be our true self. Love Copycat (that’s our name dummy) What would happen if everyone had god-like powers? It’s gonna happen someday, we should plan for it. That’s what this book is for. Cheers!
