"SPEEDSTER'S TRAIL"
(The Flash: Team, part 9 of 10)
Lily Stein's story had been relayed to the rest of them. If they grew more and more worrisome to find out what she and the other Legends' families had been left to experience. And they weren't exactly immune to it, were they? Professor Stein especially had been close to them, and now he might have been lost for good, along with the rest of them.
Barry wondered what staying inside the memory would have revealed to them that Jesse didn't want them to know about, but he also knew that asking would get him nowhere, so he didn't. They had to move on and work with what they had.
"She said she'd tried to track the Waverider, can we do that?" Caitlin asked.
"I've been thinking of how to do that already, so it's reassuring that we thought of that, too, yeah?" Cisco replied before frowning. "Of course it'll take a while to work it out, though maybe Future Woman over here can help me speed it up. And yes, I heard it," he closed his eyes at the sound of the unintended pun. "But we already know the results, don't we? The Legends just vanished off the face of the Earth, didn't they?"
"This Earth," HR agreed just sort of off-handedly, only to find all eyes turned on him.
"Can the Waverider travel to other Earths?" Jesse asked. It was the first thing she'd come across that felt like it had potential, and she couldn't believe she hadn't even considered it, seeing as she had been of another Earth herself.
"On its own, not to my knowledge," Cisco told her. "I was on there, with Felicity, when we went back to look for the Dominators. We had to stay in there a while on our own, I won't even pretend like we didn't look around. There's no way that ship has the ability. Even if I tried to open a breach, it'd be like a… round hole and a giant square block. It's more complicated than that, but you get what I'm saying."
"It could still happen though, right?" Wally asked.
"I've stopped trying to define possible and impossible a long time ago. So yeah, maybe. But if they did then I don't know how they did."
"Or why," Joe pointed out. "Are we talking accident or intent? Theirs, of someone else's?"
"And we don't know which Earth, or when it happened, but they must not have been able to get in touch or get back," Julian added.
"Do we think… are they still alive?" Iris asked. The room fell quiet again at this, but only a moment.
"Right, looks like I've got some Earth surfing to do," Cisco sighed. He already sounded tired at the prospect, and really they couldn't blame him, with all he'd already needed to do that day.
"You still with us?" Barry turned to Jesse. He understood her options, neither of them without its issues, as they moved forward, and he wasn't about to take her down a path she didn't want to follow.
"Until we know more, there's no point in the going anywhere else, is there?" Jesse replied. "I'm here, whatever you need."
"Whatever you need," Barry corrected. "This is your mission, we're just helping how we can." She nodded in appreciation, and he nodded back.
"Okay," Cisco spoke up. "A to Z or Z to A, where are we looking first, shouldn't be too hard to find a ship out there, yeah?"
See you tomorrow back here for more Flash!
