Just when I think I'm out, they pull me back in.

In all seriousness, something along these lines is something I've been bouncing around for a while. I've always wondered how the Barry from my Two Earths series would react to canon Barry after the second half of season three. Just could never find a believable way for that to happen until now.

So, I hope you guys enjoy this and, if you think I should continue, tell me in the comments.

Central City, 2019

Afternoon

It's typical, Barry thought as he sped back, narrowly avoiding a car being thrown at him. A month after he and Wanda had gone on vacation, to take a break from all this, they had decided to return home. They missed their strange family too much too stay away. And, of course, the day after they get back, some little creature called Mxyzptlk that looked like a little boy with grey hair showed up and started causing trouble. Only this little boy seemed to possess the power to change reality. Don't even get Barry started on what he'd done to Central City Park.

So now, he, Wally, and Cisco were on the street, dodging as Mxyzptlk was somehow able to throw cars at them. They were trying to figure out their next move when, suddenly, Wanda jumped down, wearing her uniform, her hands glowing with energy. Wanda waved her hands and a metal fencing suddenly wrapped around Mxyzptlk, trapping him.

"This wasn't how I wanted to spend our first day back in town," Wanda told Barry as he, Wally, and Cisco walked up next to her.

"Tell me about it. Cisco, breach him to Argus, I'll tell Rick we've got another prisoner for him," Barry said.

"Oh, I don't think so," Mxyzptlk said in his unusually cheery voice.

Suddenly, he vanished, causing them to look around in shock.

"We'd he go?" Wally asked but no one had an answer.

"Right here," Mxyzptlk said as he appeared over Barry's shoulder. "It's been fun gang, but I've got places to be. So, time to finish this in a flash."

With a laugh, Mxyzptlk snapped his fingers and they were all blinded by a flash of light. When it faded, Mxyzptlk was gone. But he wasn't the only one.

"Barry? Where's Barry?" Wanda asked looking around for her husband frantically as Cisco and Wally looked stunned. "Where's Barry?!"

Star Labs, 2018

Morning

The morning after Barry and Iris' wedding, the whole team was meeting at Star Labs.

"Wish I could have been there for the wedding guys," Ralph said as they told him about everything that had happened. "Seriously though, Nazis?"

"You get used to those kinds of things around here," Cisco said with a shrug.

Suddenly, there was a bright flash of light that momentarily blinded them. When it faded, everyone stared in shock at a man in a Flash suit quite different than Barry's stood in the room, his back to them. He looked around bewildered before turning around. As he saw them, he stared at them, in shock they presumed, as his eyes were hidden behind two white lenses.

"Is this one of those things I'm gonna get used to?" Ralph asked as the Flash looked over at him.

"Ralph Dibny," he breathed. "You're supposed to be dead."

"What?" Ralph yelped, looking shocked as Barry stepped forward.

"Okay, who are you?" Barry demanded, trying to determine I this other Flash was a threat.

"I'm the Flash," Flash said before lowering his cowl to reveal Barry's own face. "I'm you Barry."

"So are you from another earth?" Barry asked cautiously.

"I'm from Earth-1," Flash said.

"That's impossible, this is Earth-1," Harry said as Flash looked perplexed.

"Is no one else freaked out by this?!" Ralph exclaimed.

"You get used to it, like I said," Cisco said, putting a hand on Ralph's shoulder.

"You can't both be from Earth-1," Iris said and the other Barry looked shocked at her being there.

"Iris?" he breathed, confusing them. "You're here."

"Why wouldn't I be?" Iris asked and the other Barry looked to be considering something as he looked from her to Barry to Ralph before he looked back at Barry.

"After Cisco found out about Dante, did you go for a run?" he asked, confusing them all.

"What?" Barry asked confused.

"When Caitlin revealed the truth about Dante and Cisco told you he wasn't sure if we'd be okay, did you go for a run afterwards?" the other Barry asked. "Just humor me."

"No," Barry said and his doppelganger let out a shaky breath.

"Well I did. Because I am from this Earth…I'm just not from this timeline," the other Barry said shakily.
