The next morning, Barry and Iris entered the Cortex to find Cisco making slight modifications to the Vibe, Killer Frost and and Elongated Man suits.
"What are you doing?" Iris asked.
"Upgrading our suits with the anti telepathy technology professor Stein and I worked up to protect us from Grodd's powers. Or at least, his mind ones." Cisco said, since they still had to deal with Grodd's immense strength.
"Any luck locating him?" Barry asked.
"Honestly, I think that the best place to start would be places we know he's been. Specifically, his past hideouts from Earth One." Cisco said.
"Meaning the sewers and the tower?" Barry asked.
"Exactly. But first I need to upgrade your suit and Iris's suit so you'll both be immune to Grodd's telepathy." Cisco said and Barry and Iris both nodded as they walked over to their mannequins and placed their rings into the locks on them and ejected their suits onto them.
"I am so glad was able to reverse engineer that tech from the Time Vault." Cisco said and Barry nodded.
"You and me both." Barry said as Cisco got to work on upgrading their suits.
"Hey Bar, what's going on?" Joe asked as he entered the Cortex.
"Tracking down a psycho meta gorilla." Barry said casually.
"Sorry I asked. But anyways, I just thought you'd like to know that the federal reserve is moving a ton of gold bars to their keystone city vault. They think the man in the mask is going to make a play for it." Joe said.
"How are they transporting the gold?" Barry asked.
"You're never gonna believe it. By ice cream truck." Joe said and Barry laughed.
"Just make sure they remember that the music means they are open for business." Barry said and Joe chuckled.
"I'll make sure I pass on the info. Anyways, I'll let you know when the transfer is happening." Joe said as he walked out.
"Cisco, I think I have a new idea for how we can catch Grodd." Barry said.
"I'm listening." Cisco said.
"Grodd is no doubt controlling Eiling again. I checked with Alex when we first got this call and it turns out he's been MIA for months." Barry said.
"Okay, so what's the plan?" Cisco asked.
"If Grodd attempts to use his powers through Eiling to attack me again, can you trace the signal?" Barry asked.
"Maybe. It's worth a shot at least." Cisco said and Barry nodded.
"Okay then, get ready, as soon as you can track down where Grodd's hiding out, everyone get ready to move out. I'll join you as soon as I get my bearings." Barry said.
"You heard the man people. Let's get moving." Iris said as Cisco finished upgrading Barry's suit and moved onto her's as Barry reloaded his suit into his ring and sped out of the lab.
The man in the mask was preparing to rob the federal reserve when the Flash sped in.
"Okay Grodd, tell me where you are." Flash said.
"You know me?" Grodd asked.
"More like I guessed. Come on, I know you've been trying to get my attention, so just tell me, where are you?" Flash asked.
"You wish to die Flash. Come here." Grodd, or the man in the mask said as images flooded Flash's mind and Flash saw that Grodd had currently taken refuge in the sewers again.
"You want me, well, you'll get a lot more than me. But first." Flash said as he moved to quickly speed the masked man into the pipeline.
"Well, that was quick." Cisco commented.
"Keep him sedated for right now. Once Grodd is dealt with, then we'll return Eiling to his post." Barry said.
"And Grodd?" Cisco asked.
"He's in his bachelor pad in the sewers. We need to gear up, since this is going to be a real fight for our lives." Barry said and Cisco nodded.
"They're already geared up and ready to go." Cisco said, speaking of Iris, Caitlin and Ralph and he was currently wearing his vibe gear.
"Let's move out then." Barry said, ready to end this gorilla show. Once and for all.
