From 1.01 "Pilot", in the streets, Barry/Flash was zooming through the streets.
Barry: (voice over) "My name is Barry Allen, and I am the fastest man alive. I am the Flash."
Vera/Pyra was using fire to fly through the sky.
Vera: (voice over) "I'm Vera Mitchell, and I am Pyra."
Aurora/Glacia stood in an abandoned street, kneeling to the ground, touching the cement, using the contact to build a smooth wall of ice over the ground.
Aurora: (voice over) "I'm Aurora Swan. You can call me Glacia."
Logan/Guardian was keeping a falling bridge together to save everyone on it.
Logan: (voice over) "My name is Logan Hemmings, and I am the strongest man alive. They call me Guardian."
Barry/Vera/Aurora/Logan: (voice over) "Central City is a city of heroes."
⚡⚡
From 1.02 "Strength in Speed, Ice and Fire", in the Cortex, Barry, Logan, Aurora and Vera walked toward their suits.
Aurora: (voice over) "Previously on Worlds Colliding (The Flash)"
From 1.01 "Pilot", in the Cortex, the team was talking.
Vera looked up hesitantly. "When I was ten, my family died in a fire. They were all burning. My mom, my dad, my brother, my sister. And I saw this flashing red streak, and a man in yellow inside of it."
Barry processed. "When my mother was murdered. I was 11. I saw a ball of lightning. Inside the lightning, there was a man. He killed my mom. They arrested my dad."
From 1.01 "Pilot", on the landing strip, Vera, Caitlin and Aurora were talking.
"The explosion that is responsible for the fire and the lightning strike that put you and Barry into comas also killed my fiance," Aurora told her.
From 1.02 "Strength in Speed, Ice and Fire", in Simon's office, Simon and Wells were talking.
"Can you imagine if you could control their powers?" Simon asked. "If you could harness it, you could change what it means to be human."
From 1.01 "Pilot", on the strip, Barry zoomed down the landing strip, reaching the other side in less than half a second.
Wells: (voice over from 1.02 Strength in Speed, Ice and Fire) "The one with super speed, he's called the Flash."
Vera shot fire toward a group of water barrels. The fire was strong and fast, and when it hit the barrel in the middle, it spread over all of them. The fire was so strong that it made water explode out of the barrels.
Wells: (voice over from 1.02 Strength in Speed, Ice and Fire) "The girl on fire, she's Pyra."
Aurora held her hands up for Vera to see, forming ice into her hands. Fog was emanating from them like dry ice.
Wells: (voice over from 1.02 Strength in Speed, Ice and Fire) "The woman with ice, she's Glacia."
Logan lifted a steel crate alone with super strength, tossing it down the landing strip, making it land on the ground next to the targets.
Wells: (voice over from 1.02 Strength in Speed, Ice and Fire) "The man with super strength, he's Guardian."
From 1.02 "Strength in Speed, Ice and Fire", in Simon's office, Simon and Wells were talking.
"Or, at least, that's what they'll be called, one day," Wells told him. He stood, stabbing Simon in the chest with a knife. "They must be kept..." He took the knife out, letting Simon's dead body fall to the floor. "Safe."

Day One
Night - Street
The night of Central City seemed to be at peace.
Barry: (voice over) "It doesn't matter whether you're the slowest kid in gym class or the fastest man alive. Every one of us is running."
Barry/Flash was zooming down the street.
Barry: (voice over) "Being alive means running. Running from something. Running to something. Or someone. And no matter how fast you are, there are some things you can't outrun. Some things always manage to catch up to you."
⚡
Movie Theater - Outside
Barry and Iris were walking together.
"Regular movie scale, that was a seven or an eight," Barry told her. "Zombie movie scale, it was, like, a four. Tops."
"There's a zombie movie scale?" Iris asked.
"Did you know that zombies exist in nature?" Barry asked. "There's this species of fungi that infects ants, causing the ants to attack plants that can release spores, which in turn infect new hosts..." Iris was giving him a look. "I'm going full nerd again, aren't I?"
"Yep," Iris answered.
Barry sighed. "Yeah."
"It's okay, though," Iris told him. "You are still the cutest guy nerd that I know. The cutest girl nerd I know is my sister. Anyways, I am a lot more interested in the amazing as of late."
"Because the hero thing?" Barry asked.
"They're out there," Iris told him. "People are talking about them. Glacia, Guardian, we all know about. The Streak is newish, and we still have a lot to learn about him. But what about the girl on fire? Someone posted a picture." She took out her phone to show Barry Vera/Pyra flying through the sky and Barry/Flash zooming away. "Here. What do you see?"
"I see your boyfriend is calling," Barry answered.
"Oh, I should probably take this," Iris told him. "I'm crashing at his place tonight. He's supposed to leave a key for me somewhere." She answered the phone, turning away. "Hey, babe. What's up? Not much. Just hanging out with Barry. You off yet?"
⚡
Vera's Loft - Living Room
Vera, having a new guitar amp and plugging in the guitar, was playing Arsonist's Lullaby by Hozier, humming with the chords until she started to sing. "When I was a child / I heard voices / Some would sing and some would scream / You soon find you have few choices / I learned the voices died with me / When I was a child / I'd sit for hours / Staring into open flames / Something in it had a power / Could barely tear my eyes away / All you have is your fire / And the place you need to reach / Don't you ever tame your demons / Always keep them on a leash." She started to hum again with the chords. Her phone rang. She sighed, putting the guitar down, leaning it against the amp, picking up her phone, seeing it was Cisco calling from the Labs, answering. "Hello?"
Emma, Cisco and Caitlin were sitting at the desk. Logan and Aurora were standing behind them.
"Code 237 on Waid Boulevard," Emma told her.
Vera frowned skeptically. "Public indecency?"
"Wait, I think she meant a 239," Cisco told them.
Vera stood, walking toward her closet. "Dog leash violation?"
"Bad man with a gun in a getaway car," Aurora told her. "Go, now."
"Pretty sure that you'll get there faster than we can, being that you can fly and all," Logan told her.
Vera opened the door to reveal her suit. "Cisco, I'm so lucky you decided to make two suits for all of us. One for home and work."
Vera pulled the suit out, hanging up.
⚡
Vera / Pyra:
On the Road
A man in the car was driving away from the police as fast as he could.
Vera/Pyra used fire to fly through the air to the street, seeing the getaway car speeding away and firing at a police car, hitting the tire, making it explode and crash against the wall. She landed on the top of the getaway car, no longer on fire, punching through the skylight, reaching inside to grab the back of the bad guy's shirt, pulling him out, using fire to fly up far enough to get the car out from under them, lowering themselves to the ground, turning the guy to face her, handcuffing him.
"Who the hell are you?" the bad guy asked.
Vera smirked. "Call me Pyra." Backup police cars drove closer. "See ya."
Vera used fire to fly away to the sky, leaving the guy to be taken by the police.
⚡
Restaurant
Several men were at a meeting.
Man 1 looked at Man 2. "Why so public a meeting, uncle?"
"We're dining out to show our enemies we're not afraid," Man 2 answered. "Relax, nephew. I've replaced the windows with bulletproof glass. Close it up. Come. Have a drink." A man walked toward the door, turning the sign to closed, breaking a key off in the door so that it wouldn't open, looking toward the men, smirking. "Our own drivers are ripping us off." Green gas seeped over the floor toward the men. "Someone is paying them to steal from us. None of you will sleep until we find out who." The gas hovered behind Man 2 as he continued to speak. "And then those thieves..." The gas started to enter his body, making him cough. "Those thieves... will draw their last breath..."
The gas started to attack everyone in the room, making them all cough and gasp uncontrollably.
Man 1 stood. "Uncle!"
One by one, all of the men were dying from the poisonous gas.
Man 1 tried to shoot the glass to get out, but the bulletproof glass remained intact.
The gas continued to attack him like it attacked the others, killing him.
⚡ Worlds Colliding (The Flash) ⚡
Day Two
Morning - Central City Police Department
Barry walked off of the elevator with a cup of coffee. He heard the officers from the night before gossiping about the arrest that Vera had helped out with.
Joe walked closer. "Congratulations, Paulson, on that arrest last night. Hell of a job."
"Come by later, Joe," Paulson told him. "I'll give you a driving lesson, okay?"
Joe and Barry walked away.
"It wasn't even him last night," Barry told him. "It was Vera."
"I figured," Joe told him. "Heard about the fire. Are you four helping people for the glory?"
"No," Barry answered. "It's not like I want a museum built to my name, but it would be nice to have some credit. Keeping what we can do a secret is harder than I thought. Especially from Iris."
"I know, Emma hates keeping secrets, too, but it is safer that way," Joe told him. "Besides, me and you got work to do."
⚡
Barry's Lab
Barry and Joe were standing next to the desk.
Joe put a box down.
"The evidence from my mom's case?" Barry asked.
"I had it brought up from storage," Joe told him.
"I've been through this box a thousand times," Barry told him.
"Before your story about what really happened that night, the lightning storm, the man in the middle?" Joe asked. "I thought that was a kid trying to protect his father from prison. Now that I know it's true, and that Vera saw that same man at the fire that killed her family, we're gonna go through every scrap of evidence until we find something that helps us."
"It took the jury 52 minutes to come back with a verdict of guilty," Barry told him.
"They moved too fast," Joe told him. "Which is why we gotta take our time."
Eddie walked in. "Barry, Joe, we got multiple homicides. Do you know the Darbinyan crime family?"
⚡
Restaurant
The place was a crime scene.
Barry was kneeling next to a body to work the case.
Joe walked toward him. "Barry? Oh. Anything?"
"Signs of histotoxic hypoxia," Barry answered. "The cells in their bodies weren't able to utilize oxygen. It's consistent with exposure to poison gas."
"What kind of poison?" Joe asked.
"I'll need to take a lung sample, see if I can narrow it down," Barry told him.
Eddie walked closer. "The only other exit was bolted from the inside. They were trapped. I was thinking someone pumped gas in from the outside, but witnesses say the street was empty."
"So it was from the inside?" Joe asked. "That means there should be a canister or a container left behind." Barry stood. "The gas just didn't come in by itself."
"Unless it had a mind of its own," Barry told them, chuckling nervously.
"Eddie, would you mind canvassing again?" Joe asked. "Somebody had to have seen something suspicious." Eddie nodded, walking away. Joe turned to Barry. "Okay, explain."
"The boss collapsed by the table," Barry told him. "This guy made it 10 feet away. That guy had a chance to move off and fire three shots into the window, trying to break the glass. But they all started in the same spot. Which means they should've all been affected by the gas at the same time. But instead, it's as if--"
"They were attacked one by one," Joe finished. Barry nodded. "My gut feeling... if we're gonna solve this one, you and me are gonna need backup."
Barry nodded in agreement. "Yeah."
⚡
STAR Labs - Cortex
Barry and Joe had come to Emma, Vera, Aurora, Logan, Caitlin, Cisco and Wells to tell them what they had learned.
"Fascinating," Wells told them. "A metahuman that can manipulate poison gas."
"Is it just poisonous gas, or can he control all aerated substances?" Logan asked.
"And how is he able to formulate the connection?" Caitlin added. "Is it physiological or psychological?"
"This individual can create a mental nexus using gaseous substances," Aurora told them.
"You mean connect with gases on a molecular level?" Cisco asked. "That's ridiculously cool."
Emma looked at Joe. "They get really excited about this stuff."
"The only thing I'm excited about is putting criminals behind bars," Joe told them. "Except Iron Heights isn't exactly equipped to handle metahumans."
"Then I guess it's fortunate the ones you've encountered so far are no longer with us," Wells told them
"Well, unless we're planning on executing every super-criminal we stop, you geniuses are gonna have to come up with some place to hold them," Joe told them.
"A metahuman prison," Cisco told them. "Sweet."
"Until we figure a way to remove their powers," Caitlin told them.
"There is one place here that might hold them," Logan told them.
Emma, Caitlin and Aurora looked at Logan.
"You can't be serious," Aurora told him. "We haven't been down there since... It's cordoned off."
"Logan is right," Wells told them. "It could be modified to act as a makeshift prison."
"What could?" Vera asked.
"The particle accelerator," Wells answered.
Aurora looked to be lost in the past.
⚡
Flashback 1 - Nine Months Ago
Night - STAR Labs - Foyer
Everyone that worked at the building and for the particle accelerator were gathered.
Wells was giving a speech for the news. "Tonight, the future begins. The work my team and I will do here will chance our understanding of physics. Will bring about advancement in power. Advancements in medicine. And trust me, that future will be here faster than you think."
⚡
Cortex
The STAR Labs team was gathered.
Logan walked toward Wells. "Dr. Wells, we just got the latest weather report. A big thunderstorm is rolling in."
"We're not launching a space shuttle," Wells told them. "We'll be fine."
Cisco walked away toward Caitlin.
Aurora and Ronnie Raymond were talking in the lab right off of the Cortex.
"Tahiti?" Ronnie asked.
"I know it's a long flight, Ronnie," Aurora told him. "But we can binge watch 'Orange is the New Black'."
Ronnie smiled, nodding. "Okay. But what about Italy? Pizza and wine, and more pizza."
Aurora smiled, pulling Ronnie closer. "Yes, but Italy doesn't have Mai Tais. And a honeymoon isn't a honeymoon without Mai Tais."
Ronnie smiled.
"Dr. Wells, the accelerator is primed and ready for particle injection," Emma told him.
"Well, I feel I should say something profound," Wells told them. Ronnie and Aurora walked toward them. "Like, one small step for man... All I can think of to say is I feel like I waited for this day for centuries."
Caitlin and Emma nodded.
Wells activated the particle accelerator by a handprint on the computer.
"That's it?" Cisco asked. "You'd think there'd be, like, a loud bang."
"If there was a loud bang, we'd all be in big trouble," Ronnie told them.
"Take it from the guy who helped build it," Aurora told them.
"Ladies and gentlemen, we did it," Wells told them.
Everyone in the room applauded.
Ronnie and Aurora looked at each other, smiling, kissing slowly and sweetly.
"Mai Tais it is," Ronnie told her.
Aurora smiled, wrapping her arm around Ronnie's neck to kiss him more deeply.
Emma opened a bottle of wine, popping the cork.
The wine from the bottle started to levitate into the air, falling to the ground, splashing against Emma's legs.
Everyone was confused.
An alarm started to blare.
There was a loud banging noise in the distance.
The electricity flickered.
"Was that..." Emma trailed off.
"A loud bang," Logan finished.
Aurora looked at them worriedly.
⚡
Now
Day - STAR Labs - Cortex
The team was still gathered.
Aurora was still lost in the past.
"Aurora," Caitlin told her.
"Aurora?" Vera asked.
Aurora looked at them.
"We're going down to the accelerator ring," Wells told her.
Vera shook her head. "Actually, Dr. Wells, Barry asked if Logan, Aurora and I could help identifying the poison gas."
Barry and Logan looked slightly surprised but didn't give it away.
Aurora looked relieved.
"Okay," Logan told them.
Vera looked at Barry and Logan. "If that's okay with you."
Barry nodded. "Let's go."
Aurora still looked haunted.
⚡⚡
Central City Police Department
Barry, Logan, Vera and Aurora walked in.
"Welcome to the CCPD," Barry told them.
"So, this is your day job?" Logan asked.
"Mm-hmm," Barry answered.
"Wow," Aurora told them. "I've never been here before."
"Well, I have," Vera told them. "And I was here a lot when I was a kid."
"When you were a runaway from foster care," Barry corrected.
"Details, details," Vera told them.
Logan smirked.
A few officers led a criminal past them.
"I'm gonna rip out your hearts and eat them for lunch," the criminal told them.
The officers took him away, leaving.
They watched them go.
"Delightful," Aurora told them sarcastically.
Another officer walked closer, handing Barry a police file. "Lab rats, I need prints off this gun, pronto."
David walked closer, looking at Barry. "Allen! Where the hell is the fiber analysis on the Orloff case?"
Barry pointed toward the second level. "Upstairs. It's all finished. I can just run up and bring it down."
Barry walked toward the stairs.
David, Logan, Vera and Aurora followed.
"With you, that could be three days," David told him. "Vera."
"David," Vera replied.
"Captain," David corrected.
"You know each other by name?" Logan asked.
"History with the former runaway," David told them. Vera rolled her eyes. Logan looked at Barry, gesturing him to go, so that they could distract David. David looked at Logan and Aurora. "Who are you?"
Barry zoomed upstairs.
"Dr. Aurora Swan," Aurora answered. "Barry and Vera's personal physician. That's Logan Hemmings. He's security detail for STAR Labs."
"So, you're Emma's colleagues at STAR Labs?" David asked.
Logan nodded. "And friends."
⚡
Barry's Lab
Barry was zooming around to get the case done, scattering papers all over the lab.
David, Logan, Vera and Aurora walked in.
Barry held a file toward David. "The fiber analysis for the Orloff case. Like you asked for, sir."
David took the file. "Barry, clean up your lab. It's a mess."
David walked out, leaving.

West House - Dining Room
Joe and Emma were sitting at the table, watching recordings of Henry.
Henry: (on recording) "The lightning was in the house. I told my son to run. He disappeared. And that's when I saw the blood."
Man: (on recording) "Your prints are on the murder weapon."
Henry: (on recording) "I needed to stabilize the knife. I'm a doctor. I was trying to save her. I didn't kill my wife. Joe! Tell them! You know me. Our kids are friends. You tell them, Joe!"
Iris walked in.
Joe closed the laptop.
"Do I even wanna know what you were looking at?" Iris asked.
"I'm just showing Dad some work from STAR Labs," Emma told her. "He's coming around to me still working there."
Iris smiled. "Finally, you two can stop arguing about that." There was a knock on the door. Iris walked toward the door, opening it to see Eddie outside, letting him in. "Detective, what are you doing here?"
Emma and Joe stood, walking closer.
"Joe, I thought you were at the morgue," Eddie told him.
"I decided to bring some work home," Joe told him. "Why are you here?"
"Yes, well, I've been looking for you," Eddie told him. "I thought maybe we could go back to the crime scene, re-canvass, see if, uh, we missed anything. Always work the case, right? That's what you taught me."
"Well, you've been listening," Joe told him. "Okay, let's hit it."
Emma rolled her eyes at the lies.
"You mind if I use your bathroom?" Eddie asked.
"First door on the right," Joe told him. "I'll be in the car." Eddie walked toward the bathroom. Joe grabbed his jacket, turning to Iris. "Bye, baby."
"Bye, Dad," Iris told him.
Joe kissed Iris on the cheek, walking out of the house.
Emma turned to Iris. "I'll give you guys a minute."
"Thank you," Iris told her.
Emma walked out, leaving.
Eddie walked toward Iris. "Okay, this has got to stop. I came here to surprise my girlfriend. Now I'm going to a crime scene with her dad. Not exactly the afternoon I was planning."
"I know, I know," Iris told him. "It's not the right time to tell him."
"When is, Iris?" Eddie asked. "You told Emma."
"Actually, Emma caught us out in public," Iris told him. "And she might be okay with this, but I know our dad. He'll kill us."
"Right now, you're killing us," Eddie told her, walking out, leaving.
Iris sighed, closing her eyes, shaking her head.
⚡
STAR Labs - Pipeline
Cisco, Caitlin and Wells were scoping out the particle accelerator.
"The copper in the tube is arranged to form cavities, and we can use those cavities as containment cells," Wells told them.
They walked into the particle accelerator.
"Of course, we have to design them to counteract metahuman abilities, but it might just work," Caitlin told them. "First, we have to decouple the injection system on the gantry level. I'll be right back."
"Why don't I do that?" Cisco asked.
"I could use the exercise," Caitlin told them, walking away.
Cisco looked around, remembering that night.
⚡
Flashback 2 - Nine Months Ago
Night - STAR Labs - Cortex
The STAR Labs team was gathered.
Emma looked at the computer. "There's an anomaly in the core chamber."
"Ring structural integrity is holding," Caitlin told them.
"It started a chain reaction," Logan told them. "We need to shut it down."
"We can't from here," Cisco told them. "We'll need to do it manually."
"Go," Wells told them.
"I'll come with," Ronnie told them.
Aurora turned to face him. "Ronnie, no."
"I'm the lead engineer," Ronnie told her. "I know how to operate the shutdown valve."
"It's not safe," Aurora told him.
"Aurora, I have to go," Ronnie told her, placing a hand on either of her cheeks, kissing her.
Aurora watched him go worriedly.
⚡
Pipeline
Cisco and Ronnie ran down to the pipeline to get to the particle accelerator.
Ronnie opened the door. "Stay here. We've only got a few minutes before this thing blows. And if I'm not back in time, you need to initiate lockdown."
Cisco shook his head. "No way. I am not closing this door. I won't be able to open it again."
"Cisco, if you don't seal off the blast, everyone in this building will die, including Aurora," Ronnie told him. Cisco was in shock, overwhelmed. "Okay? Now promise me."
Cisco hesitated, nodding. "Yeah."
"Set your watch," Ronnie told him. "Two minutes."
Cisco set his watch. "You're coming back."
Ronnie ran into the particle accelerator.
Cisco watched him go.
⚡
Later
Cisco was still waiting for Ronnie as the building continued to shake.
Ronnie still wasn't back.
The two minutes counted down.
Cisco hesitated, hating himself, having to lock down the particle accelerator.
⚡
Now
Day - STAR Labs - Pipeline
Cisco, Caitlin and Wells were still here.
"Cisco?" Caitlin asked. "Cisco, we're ready to go."
Cisco walked past them.
"It must be hard, coming back down here," Wells told him. "A lot happened that night. If you feel the need to talk--"
"I was just thinking, we need to nail those voltage calculations," Cisco told them. "One fault and the helium blowback could damage the mountings."
"Smart," Caitlin told him.
They left the pipeline together.
⚡
Central City Police Department - Barry's Lab
Barry, Logan, Aurora and Vera were sitting around the lab, trying to figure out what the gas was.
Vera looked at Aurora, hesitating. "Can I ask you something? That you don't have to answer."
"My least-favorite kind of question," Aurora told her. "Shoot."
"Ronnie," Vera told her. "What was he like? I mean, you just never talk about him that much."
"We met when we were working on the particle accelerator," Aurora told her. "He was the structural engineer. He liked to joke that he was basically a very high-priced plumber." Vera nodded. "We were very different. You might've noticed I can be a bit guarded."
"Well, takes one to know one," Logan told them.
Vera and Aurora gave Logan a sarcastic look.
Barry chuckled.
Aurora looked at Vera. "Ronnie knew how to make me laugh. He used to say we were like fire and ice." She let ice trickle along her fingers. "Which is kind of ironic. He wasn't supposed to be there that night. He was just there for me. If he hadn't..." She didn't finish. Vera looked away. Aurora took a breath. "Why are you asking?"
"Because, no matter how similar we are, I just..." Vera trailed off, sighing. "I could never let myself get close to anyone. Ever. I had no friends. And even when I was born and raised here in Central City for all of my life, I was always pushing people away, even when I knew that I wasn't going anywhere. I felt like I would always be alone. But after the fire, and after the coma, and after becoming Pyra... I thought it was finally time for me to realize that I didn't have to be alone anymore. So no matter how much painful betrayal or death or loss can be, I'm gonna try to stop pushing people away so that I won't be."
Barry and Logan smiled at their interactions.
"You're not alone anymore, Vera," Barry told her. "Have faith."
Vera managed a small smile.
Logan looked at the computer. "It says that there was no residue of gas in the tissue. Poisonous or otherwise."
Barry leaned forward against the desk. "Must've evaporated. We'll need to get a fresh sample."
Logan walked closer. "Wait, this can't be right." He showed them the paper. "This says that there are two distinct strands of DNA inside the tissue."
"How did someone else's DNA get inside the victims' lungs?" Vera asked.
They didn't have an answer.
⚡
Mall
A woman was walking, on the phone. "Well, my docket was clear, so I stopped by the mall to pick up your homecoming dress. I am a great mom." She walked past the man that had locked the crime family in the restaurant. "I'll see you for dinner, sweetie."
The man started to follow the woman.
⚡
Central City Police Department - Barry's Lab
Barry, Vera, Logan and Aurora were still researching.
Barry ran a search for the DNA through the CCPD search. "There's no DNA match in the database."
"I don't understand," Logan told them. "Why would a chemical attack leave behind another person's DNA inside the victim?"
Vera was fidgeting with her hand, making fire sizzle from her fingertips. She looked a little more closely to see that the fingertips were actually flame instead of giving off flame. She looked up in realization. "What if the metahuman we're looking for doesn't control gas?" She showed them a bigger flame on her hand to show them what she meant. "What if he becomes it?"
⚡
Mall - Elevator
The woman walked into the elevator.
The man stopped the elevator doors from closing, walking inside.
The woman looked at him in shock.
The man smirked. "Judge Howard, it's nice to see you again."
"You died," Howard told him.
"You say that like it was an accident," the man told her. "Remember the last thin you said to me in the courtroom? 'May God have mercy on your soul'."
The man turned into poisonous gas, attacking Howard, making her gasp for breath weakly.
⚡
Central City Police Department - Barry's Lab
Barry, Vera, Logan and Aurora were still here.
Dispatch came over the radio. "All available units, we have a report of a toxic gas attack in the Central City Shopping Mall."
Barry, Vera, Logan and Aurora exchanged a look, standing.
⚡⚡
STAR Labs - Cortex
Emma, Cisco, Caitlin and Wells were in the Cortex, talking to Barry, Vera, Aurora and Logan through comms.
Emma was sitting at the computers, typing. "I patched into the mall security system. According to witnesses, the gas attack was in the elevator in the north wing."
They heard Aurora through comms. "Which one is the north wing?"
"The one with the Big Belly Burger," Wells answered. Caitlin, Cisco and Emma gave him a weird look. "I eat."
"Hey, Vera, bet this is the first time you've ever been to the mall, huh?" Cisco asked.
Vera was using fire to fly through the sky, scoffing softly. "Shut up, Cisco."
⚡
Mall - Hallway
A guard was keeping a crowd of people away from the elevator. "Back up. Please, keep back."
⚡
Logan / Guardian:
Aurora / Glacia:
Elevator
Aurora/Glacia and Vera/Pyra found Judge Howard dead on the floor, both of them upset and angry.
Vera spoke through comms. "Barry, Logan, she's gone."
⚡
Hallway
Barry/Flash and Logan/Guardian came across the man that could turn into gas.
"Why did you kill that woman?" Logan asked.
The man stepped closer. "She deserved to die. Now, go away. I still have one more name on my list. Don't make me add you to it."
Logan tried to punch the man with superstrength, but the man turned into gas before he could be hit, reforming, trying to punch Logan twice. Logan raised either arm to block the moves, kicking him in the leg. Barry zoomed closer to try to hit the man. The man turned into toxic gas, swirling around Barry and Logan, staying in gas form so that they couldn't fight him, starting to go into their bodies, making them gasp in pain for breath, unable to breathe.
The gas/man left after they fell to the floor.
Vera and Aurora ran into the hallway to see Barry and Logan were suffocating on the floor, running closer.
"Barry?" Vera asked worriedly.
"Logan, can you hear me?" Aurora asked.
In the Cortex, Emma was checking their stats on the computer. "Their vitals are weak, but they're alive. Vera, Aurora, get them back here now."
Vera and Aurora nodded, helping Barry and Logan up so they could take them back to STAR Labs.
⚡
STAR Labs - Cortex
Vera and Aurora got Barry and Logan back to the Cortex to rejoin Emma, Cisco, Caitlin and Wells. Barry and Logan were gasping and coughing uncontrollably.
"They can't breathe," Vera told them.
"They need oxygen," Wells told them. He looked at Cisco and Caitlin. "Get the crash cart." He looked at Aurora and Vera. "Get them to the med bay."
Emma stood to help Vera and Aurora bring Barry and Logan to the med bay.
⚡
Med Bay
Once inside the med bay, Emma, Vera and Aurora helped Barry and Logan lay down in two beds.
Wells rolled his chair in.
Cisco and Caitlin ran in with the crash cart.
Logan pulled his suit open. "Cut us open. The poison is still in us."
"They brought us a sample," Wells told them. "Aurora, we need to do a pulmonary biopsy. Extract an active portion of that gas."
Aurora looked at Barry and Logan. "I can't give you any anesthetic. Your metabolisms will burn right through it."
"We heal quick," Barry told them. "Remember?"
"Do it," Wells told them.
"Caitlin, get the syringes," Aurora told her.
Caitlin found the right ones, bringing them right to Aurora, handing one to her, while she prepared the other one herself. She looked at Barry and Logan. "This is gonna hurt a lot."
"Small needles," Cisco told them. "You probably won't feel it."
"You're definitely going to feel it," Emma told them.
Aurora and Caitlin both injected Barry and Logan with needles into the lung, making them gasp for air and in pain, before they passed out.
⚡
Later
Barry and Logan woke up to see that the team was still around them.
Cisco smiled. "The Flash and Guardian live."
"You'd be dead if your lung cells didn't regenerate quickly," Caitlin told them.
"My chest feels like that one time I had a cigarette," Logan told them. Emma frowned. "Yeah, teen me lived for danger."
"Logan, this isn't funny," Emma told him worriedly. "You could've--"
"We didn't," Barry told them.
"Now that we have her sample, we'll get to work," Wells told them. "Analyzing it, figure out the poison, maybe get a clue as to his human identity."
"Or at least a way to stop him from turning into mist," Aurora told them.
Cisco smiled. "The Mist. Okay, that's his name. End of discussion."
"I have to get to the station," Barry told them.
"You should be resting," Vera told him.
Barry sighed. "I have to talk to Joe."
Emma nodded. "I'll go with you."

Central City Police Department - Barry's Lab
Barry and Emma walked into his lab to see Joe waiting.
"Hey, Dad," Emma told him. "Barry and Logan had him. The metahuman. We were wrong. He's not controlling airborne toxins. He can literally transform himself into poison gas."
Joe stood, walking closer with a file. "That's new. The victim was a judge. We're going through some of her old cases to see if there's a connection."
"It's too late," Barry told him. "I should've been faster."
"Focus on the job," Emma told him. "Don't think about that right now."
"You don't want to know what I'm thinking about," Barry told them, walking toward his desk, leaning against it. "My dad has spent 14 years in a 6x8 foot cell for a crime he didn't commit. I couldn't save my mom, but I can save him."
"Didn't I promise you that we would get your father out of prison together?" Joe asked.
Barry turned to face them. "I don't need your help, Joe. I could be in and out of there with him before anyone even sees me."
Emma sighed, walking closer. "Okay, you break him out of there. Then what?" They sat down. "He's on the run for the rest of his life. And something tells me he's not as fast as you are."
Barry shook his head. "You don't know what it's like there."
"You think I don't understand what you're feeling?" Emma asked. "My mom's dead, too, Barry."
Barry sighed. "Emma..."
Joe looked away. "I have been a cop for almost as long as you've both been alive. So you should know, sitting in that lab, or putting on that suit, does not make everybody safe. For every person you save, there's gonna be somebody you can't. And the hardest thing you're gonna have to face is not some monster out there with powers. It's gonna be that feeling of uselessness when you can't do anything. Or the guilt that weighs on you when you make a mistake. Somethings you can't fight. Some things you just have to live with."
Joe walked away, leaving Barry and Emma to consider what he said seriously.
⚡ ⚡
Day Three
Morning - Central City Police Department
Iris walked through the precinct toward where Eddie was sitting at his desk.
Eddie was on the phone. "Yes, I'm writing this down. The heroes at the mall during the gas attack. Thank you for calling." He hung up, looking at Iris, sighing. "Never fails. Tip lines bring out the potheads and the crazies."
"Did they get a good look at their faces?" Iris asked.
Eddie sighed. "Not you too." He stood. "What are you doing here anyway?"
"We need to talk," Iris told him. They walked along to talk alone. "I thought about what you said, and..."
Eddie turned to face her. "I know what you're gonna say. I understand. I'm your dad's partner."
"No, no, no, you don't understand," Iris told him. "I've never really had a serious boyfriend. Between Dad, and Emma, and Barry, and work... my life has been full. And I really like you, but I thought that if I told my dad about us, then it would make this real, and suddenly, it's something that I could lose, or screw up."
"I wanted it to be real," Eddie told her, turning to go.
Iris caught his arm. "Eddie."
Iris pulled Eddie to kiss him in front of the entire precinct. They both smiled.

STAR Labs - Training Room
Vera walked into the training room to see Aurora sitting alone, sitting next to her. "I know the past few... months... have been hard on you. I'm trying to find a way to make it better, but..."
Aurora chuckled without humor, shaking her head. "There's nothing you could do, Vera. I've just been trying to shut it out."
Vera sighed, looking away. "My family died 14 years ago. I used to think that the further away I got from it, the less it would hurt. But some days, the pain... it's worse than the day that it happened. Some things you can't fight. Things you can't run."
Aurora nodded barely. "I felt the same when it came to my own family. My sister, my parents. They died. And I lost track of my sister's children. Twins. And then Ronnie. I moved out of our place and back to my family home, but that's just as much torture." Vera nodded in understanding. "And for so long... I've been terrified of going into that hole."
"What if I went with you?" Vera asked.
Aurora looked at Vera, nodding.
⚡
Pipeline
Aurora and Vera walked through the pipeline toward the accelerator.
Aurora looked at the round sliding door at the end of the way.
⚡
Flashback 3
Night - STAR Labs - Pipeline
Cisco had just closed the door to the accelerator.
Aurora ran inside. "Where's Ronnie? Cisco, where is he?"
"He's still inside," Cisco answered.
"What?" Aurora asked worriedly. "Open the door."
"I can't," Cisco told her. "We're in lockdown mode."
"Cisco, we have to get him out of there, or he'll die," Aurora told him.
They heard Ronnie through the radio in Cisco's hands. "Cisco, can you hear me?"
Aurora took the radio frantically. "Ronnie, it's me."
Ronnie was inside the particle accelerator, running up to the closed doors.
The place was shaking. Sparks were falling.
The pipeline started to shake, released the cooling system wires. The cooling wires were releasing a fog of coolant into the room.
Ronnie spoke into his radio brokenly. "Aurora." He was trying not to cry. "Is Cisco there?"
"Yeah, Ronnie, I'm here," Cisco answered. "I'm listening."
"I adjusted the magnets to redirect the beam," Ronnie told them. "To try and vent the systems so the blast goes up and not out."
"I'll need to reset the particle parameters to compensate," Cisco told them, running off.
Aurora noticed the coolant fog being released into the room, speaking into the radio. "Cisco's doing it. The cooling system's destroyed. Freon is being released into the pipeline. I have to reset the pipes so it doesn't freeze the whole building. But there has to be another way out of there. You have to find it."
Aurora ran up to the pipes, resetting two of them, though the pipes were busted and the fog was being released anyway. It was starting to freeze her fingers.
Ronnie took a deep breath. "Ror... the chain reaction, I can't reverse it. The doors need to stay shut to protect you." Aurora was crying, trying to power through whatever she was feeling to try and salvage the cooling system so that it wouldn't freeze out the entire building and everything else in the system. "Are you still there?"
Aurora couldn't work anymore with how frozen her hands were. She was crying in denial and despair. "I'm here."
A blast of fire soared past the particle accelerator.
"Aurora, whatever happens..." Ronnie trailed off.
"Ronnie?" Aurora asked. The explosion took Ronnie with it, shaking the entire building and making the rest of the cooling system pipes fall through. "Ronnie!"
The cooling system's coolant filled the room.
Aurora wasn't trying to leave the shaking, falling apart pipeline because she knew that Ronnie was gone, crying in despair, falling to her knees, letting herself freeze.
⚡
Cortex
The entire Cortex was shaking because of the explosions from down below.
The ceiling started to fall through, nearly crushing Caitlin, Emma, Cisco and Wells, crushing onto Wells's legs. Logan stood above them, holding up the ceiling as much as he could, to keep it from crushing them to death. Another shake of the building made the concaving ceiling fall onto Logan completely, trapping him on the floor.
Emma watched worriedly in horror. "Logan!"
⚡
Now
Day - STAR Labs - Pipeline
Aurora was looking at the door to the accelerator, turning to explain to Vera. "That's how Logan and I got our powers. Ronnie saved so many lives that day, and no one will ever know what he did."
Vera walked closer. "I do." Aurora looked at Vera, fighting tears. "He was a hero."
Aurora started to cry. "I know."
Vera wrapped her arms around Aurora comfortingly. Aurora was surprised but slowly returned the embrace.
Cisco called. "Vera, Aurora, you down there?" They pulled away. "You gotta come look at this."
⚡
Cortex
The team was in the Cortex, looking at the screen with different cellular molecules on it.
"Hey, check this out," Cisco told them. "It's a 3D molecular model of the gas from your lungs."
"We have identified the toxin," Wells told them.
"Hydrogen cyanide," Barry told them.
"What's interesting is what's mixed in with the cyanide," Wells told them. "A sedative."
Caitlin realized. "Of course. The night of the explosion, find out if anyone was executed."
Emma walked toward her computer.
"Why?" Logan asked.
"That sedative is given to criminals on death row before they go and breathe in hydrogen cyanide," Caitlin answered.
"That's right," Wells told them.
"There was someone executed," Emma told them. "Kyle Nimbus."
Emma pulled up the man / gas' information and picture on the screen.
"That's him," Logan told them.
"He was a hit man for the Darbinyan crime family," Emma explained. "They turned on him and testified. Judge Theresa Howard was the judge at his trial. She sentenced him to death."
"He must have been affected by the explosion while he was being gassed," Wells told them.
"Records say the execution was completed," Vera told them.
"That's why there wasn't a match," Barry told them. "The DNA database only has records of the living."
Logan nodded. "Right. He said there was one more person on his list." He looked at Emma. "Check the arrest record." He walked closer to stand behind Emma so he could look at the computer. "Who caught him? That could be his next attack."
Emma smirked, typing away. "All right, boss man. Like how you seem to take charge." Logan raised his eyebrows slightly. Emma smiled. "I'm teasing. I like to tease people. I'm a teaser."
Logan chuckled, looking at the computer, taking a nervous breath. "Emma, the lead detective."
Emma followed his gaze to the computer, seeing a picture of Joe on the screen, horrified to know that it was her father that Kyle Nimbus was going to go after.
⚡
Night - Iron Heights - Front Desk
Joe walked up to a guard. "Here to see Henry Allen."
"Sign here, personal effects here," the guard told him.
Joe did as told.
⚡
Outside
Kyle walked up to Iron Heights, coming for Joe, turning into gas to get past the front gate.
⚡ ⚡
STAR Labs - Cortex
Emma was pacing through the Cortex, making a call. "Eddie?"
Eddie was sitting at his desk in CCPD. "Emma, what's up?"
Emma sighed. "Hey, do you know where my dad went? He's not picking up his cell."
Eddie looked around. "Uh, not sure."
"Eddie, it's really important I speak to him," Emma told him. "I need to know where he went."
"He went to Iron Heights to see Henry Allen," Eddie answered.
Emma hung up, even more worried, turning to the others.
"Emma, he's gonna be okay," Logan told her. "We'll take you to give your dad the antidote ourselves, okay? We're gonna save him."
Emma nodded, still consumed with worry, but slightly relieved and reassured.
"I reverse-engineered an antidote to the toxin," Caitlin told them, holding four vials toward them. "I hope you won't need it."
Barry, Vera, Aurora and Logan looked at the suits in the display case.
⚡
Iron Heights - Meeting Room
Henry and Joe were sitting at the table with glass between them so they could talk through phone.
"What are you doing here?" Henry asked. "Is Barry all right?"
"He's fine," Joe answered.
"Then to what do I owe this visit?" Henry asked.
"I know I should have come to see you sooner," Joe told him.
"You just weren't up for a little chitchat with a man who murdered his wife in front of his own son?" Henry asked bitterly, sarcastically.
"Except now I know you didn't kill your wife," Joe told him regretfully.
Henry was surprised by this response.
⚡
Streets/Sky
While they were speaking to Caitlin, Cisco and Wells back at STAR Labs through comms, Barry/Flash was zooming himself, Emma and Logan/Guardian through the streets, and Vera/Pyra was using fire to fly her and Aurora/Glacia through the air, on their way to Iron Heights.
"Guys, I pulled up the specs on Iron Heights Prison," Emma told them. "It's maximum security, but I think I can talk you through breaking in there."
"Don't bother," Barry told her. "I've been figuring out how to break into that place since I was 11."
Logan, Vera and Aurora barely chuckled.
⚡
Iron Heights - Meeting Room
Henry and Joe were still talking on either side of the glass through phone.
"Some new evidence has come to light," Joe explained. "I can't go into detail. It's just--Look, the important thing is, I'm reopening the case. I'm gonna find out who really killed Nora, and I promise you, Henry, I'm going to get you out of here. I am so sorry."
"It doesn't matter that you didn't believe in me," Henry told him. "Because you've always believed in my son."
They nodded to each other in understanding and forgiveness.
Kyle entered the room in gas form, attacking the guard standing nearby until he suffocated and fell to the floor.
Joe stood, walking closer to try to help.
Kyle returned to human form in front of Joe.
Joe looked at him in shock. "Nimbus. You're supposed to be dead."
"Same to you," Kyle told him.
Kyle turned into gas, attacking Joe, making him cough, wheeze and gasp, making him fall.
Henry couldn't help him from behind glass. "Joe? Joe! Help, guards! Somebody help!"
Barry zoomed inside with Emma. Vera used fire to fly in with Logan and Aurora.
Barry, Logan, Vera and Aurora looked up to see the gas escape through an air vent.
Emma knelt next to Joe, looking up at Barry, Logan, Vera and Aurora. "Go get him." Barry, Logan, Vera and Aurora nodded. Barry zoomed outside. Vera grabbed Logan and Aurora, using fire to fly them out of the prison, up to the sky, looking around for Kyle. Emma injected the cure into Joe to save him, looking at Henry. Joe was fine now, still a little weak, looking at Emma. Emma looked at him in relief. "Dad, you okay?"
Joe took Emma's hand, nodding. "I'm fine now... Emma."
Emma smiled, holding Joe close in relief. Henry smiled a small smile.
⚡
Street
Barry, Vera, Aurora and Logan found Kyle on the abandoned street. Barry zoomed closer. Vera used fire to fly them down to the ground, letting them go and the fire fade.
"So, you come to finish what the gas chamber couldn't?" Kyle asked.
"You're going somewhere you can't hurt anyone ever again," Logan told him.
"Wrong," Kyle told them, transforming into gas, spreading across the street and a few yards into the air.
In the Cortex, Caitlin spoke through comms. "You need to be very careful. Vera, do not use fire. Gas gains power from fire, and if he draws fire from you, he will become stronger than the antidote, and it won't work."
"Great," Vera told them sarcastically. "Any ideas?"
The gas turned into Kyle, walking closer.
Barry zoomed toward Kyle. Kyle turned into the gas, making him pass right through him.
Logan tried to punch Kyle repeatedly, but Kyle turned into gas to make all of the hits miss.
Aurora tried to shoot Kyle with ice repeatedly, but the same problem happened.
"You can't fight him, guys," Caitlin told them. "Just keep him coming at you. Make him confused on who to go after. That should zap his strength."
"Gas is the least stable form of matter," Wells told them. "This metahuman will not be able to stay in his mist form for long. His particles will need to reform."
The gas soared toward Barry, Logan, Vera and Aurora, who all ducked in separate directions to make it miss, heading into different places to make Kyle confused as to who to go after.
Aurora created a ramp of ice over the air and ground so that she could glide around on the ice and all over the air to trick and weave around the gas to make him come after her, making it chase her as she glided the ice in air, going in twists and turns and spirals in the air to make him lose energy faster.
After a little while, Kyle had to return to human form.
Vera used fire to fly closer, staying in the air. "Hey, Nimbus." Kyle looked up at her. Vera waved her fiery hand to taunt him. "Want it? Come and get it."
Kyle formed into the gas, soaring toward Vera. Vera flew away quickly in the opposite direction, making sure the fire never touched him while Kyle was trying so hard to keep up to touch the fire. Vera got closer to the ground, letting the fire fade before landing, rolling over the pavement, looking up at the gas. The gas turned into Kyle.
Barry zoomed around Kyle to taunt him into coming after him. Kyle turned into gas to chase Barry down the street, before Barry turned around and brought Kyle back toward Aurora, Logan and Vera. Kyle had to turn back to gas, looking tired and exhausted, trying to get the strength back up.
Before Kyle to get his strength back, Logan used his super strength to punch Kyle in the face, making him fall unconscious.
Vera smirked, slowly standing.
Barry, Vera, Aurora and Logan walked toward Kyle's unconscious body.
Emma ran out of Iron Heights toward them. "Guys?"
Barry smiled. "Hey, Emma. We win."
Emma sighed in relief.

Central City Hospital - Joe's Room
Emma was sleeping at Joe's bedside, waking up.
Joe smiled. "It's been a while since I watched you sleep."
Emma chuckled. "Rescuing you is exhausting."
Joe laughed sarcastically. "I really miss the ability to be able to ground you."
Emma smiled, standing, walking closer. "Sorry and I went and grew up."
Emma took Joe by the hand, hugging him, kissing him on the hand.
Iris walked in with Eddie. "Daddy."
Iris hugged Joe tightly in relief.
"Oh, baby, I'm fine," Joe told her. "Don't worry." He looked at Eddie. "Partner. You two arrive at the same time?"
Iris looked at Joe awkwardly. "Dad, we have something that we need to tell you. Dad, the thing is--"
"You two are dating," Joe finished. "I know."
"You do?" Iris asked.
Eddie and Iris looked at Emma.
Emma shook her head. "Don't look at me. I didn't say anything."
"Then how does he know, Emma?" Iris asked.
"I'm a detective, remember?" Joe asked. "And both of you are lousy liars."
Emma nodded in agreement, chuckling.
"So you're not mad?" Eddie asked.
"Oh, I'm mad," Joe answered. "And if the doctor hadn't confiscated my gun, we'd be having an entirely different conversation."
Iris and Emma exchanged an awkward look.
"Well, I should let you three talk, and I'll just be outside, looking into the witness protection program," Eddie told them, walking out of the room.
Iris looked at Joe. "I'm sorry."
"Iris, this is going to be complicated," Joe told her. "You know I don't like complicated."
"Do you like him?" Emma asked.
Iris smiled, nodding. "Yeah, I do."
"Then I will do my damnedest not to shoot him," Joe told her.
Emma smiled. "That is all we can expect."
⚡
STAR Labs - Pipeline
Caitlin, Aurora, Logan, Cisco, Vera, and Wells had gotten Kyle locked up in the pipeline.
Kyle was pounding against the unbreakable glass angrily, turning into the gas, trying to intangibly get out, but that didn't work, either.
"Will it hold?" Vera asked.
"The barrier's powered by an 8.3 tesla super-conducting electromagnet, which is about 100,000 times the strength of Earth's magnetic field," Caitlin told them.
"In other words, yes," Cisco answered.
Kyle continued to pound against his cell and yell angrily.
Logan smirked. "He's mad."
"You're enjoying this a little bit too much," Aurora told him.
"Maybe a little," Logan agreed.
Wells hit the button to close the round sliding door, hiding the cell from view. "Well, good night."
"So, we're just supposed to get used to working above a makeshift prison housing evil people with superpowers?" Logan asked.
"You'd be surprised what you can get used to, Logan," Wells told him, turning his chair around, rolling down the ramp and out of the accelerator, leaving.
Vera, Caitlin and Logan followed, leaving.
Aurora turned to follow.
Cisco stopped her. "Aurora. Could I talk to you for a second?"
"Sure," Aurora answered. "What's up?"
Cisco hesitated. "It's about the night that Ronnie died. I..."
"Look, Cisco, I'm okay," Aurora told him. "I thought coming down here would undo me because of what happened here... losing Ronnie, almost dying... but thinking about what Ronnie did to protect us, it just made me love him more."
They both smiled small smiles.

Hallway
Cisco and Aurora caught up to Vera, Caitlin and Logan in the hallway.
"Come on," Caitlin told them. "I need ice cream, or a drink. Let's see which one we hit first."
"I'm in," Cisco told them. "Logan?"
"Definitely, Cisco," Logan answered. "I can call Barry and Emma and tell them to meet us."
"What about you, Vera?" Caitlin asked. "You in?"
Vera considered it, nodding. "Yeah. I'm in."
Cisco smirked. "Oh, miracles do come true."
Vera smirked, pushing Cisco along.
The others smiled small smiles.

Barry had come to talk to Henry on either side of the glass through phone. "Joe's gonna be okay. You know, lately, I've been thinking about Mom. A lot." He sighed heavily. "I miss her."
"Did I ever tell you about the time you learned to walk?" Henry asked.
Barry chuckled. "A couple times."
"Everyone was walking before you," Henry told him. "All the little babies running around the neighborhood, not you. But your mom was never worried. She just said, 'He'll walk when he has someplace to go'. And sure enough, the first time you took a few steps, you moved so quick, you didn't just walk, you started to..."
"Run," Barry finished.
"And you ran to your mom, Barry, right into her arms," Henry told him. Barry had tears in his eyes, nodding. "You had someplace to go."
Barry chuckled, wiping a tear that had fallen away, smiling a small smile, nodding.

Caitlin, Cisco and Emma were helping get all of the debris off of Logan after he had been crushed down because he had saved their lives and Wells' life.
"Logan?" Emma asked worriedly, trying to wake him up and help him. "Logan?"
"Emma... Ronnie and Aurora did it," Cisco told her. "They vented the system. STAR Labs should hold."

1.04 "Going Rogue" Trailer
From 1.04 "Going Rogue", in the Cortex, Felicity Smoak was meeting with the team.
Emma smiled. 'We've got our own satellite."
Felicity looked around. "I know. I've hacked into it from time to time."
"Felicity works for Sapphire and Arrow," Barry told them.
"Do you know who Sapphire and Arrow are?" Cisco asked.
"My team has a similar setup, but with more pointy objects," Felicity told them.
From 1.04 "Going Rogue", in a museum, a man shot a gun that seemed to shoot ice at Joe. Vera/Pyra shot fire at the cold ray. When the cold ray hit the fire instead of Joe, the cold ray turned the fire into a chunk of ice, making it fall to the ground.
Vera sighed. "Oh, great. Glacia, you're up."
From 1.04 "Going Rogue", in a warehouse, the man was holding his cold ray gun. "I need to slow them down."
From 1.04 "Going Rogue", in Jitters, Iris, Eddie, Barry, Felicity, Emma and Logan sat together, seeming to be playing a game.
A NICE COMPLIMENT
From 1.04 "Going Rogue", in the museum, the guy fired the cold guy at a couple on the stairs. Aurora/Glacia shot ice in the way of them to use it as a shield to save them. The cold ray and the ice clinked together as they both fell to the floor, shattering over the tile.
BREAKS THE ICE
From 1.04 "Going Rogue", in the museum, Vera/Pyra was shot in the stomach with the cold ray gun, falling to the floor, holding her side in pain.
Aurora/Glacia looked at her worriedly. "You okay?"
Vera sighed. "It's so cold it burns."
