They had Stein restrained to a stretcher as he was going into a seizure and his flames were going blue until Cisco attached a device to Stein's chest as the flames died and Stein was stable.
"Oh, Dios mio. Thank God." Cisco sighed in relief as he sat down.
"He's getting worse." Barry realized.
"Look, I did what I could to re-engineer Dr. Wells's original stabilizer to quell the reaction, but I don't know what he used as a power source. Best I could find was the one from his wheelchair." Cisco said.
"And how long will that last?" Caitlin asked.
"Well, that's the problem, we had already used up most of its energy trying to dampen the metas' powers during our little Rogue Air trip with Weather Wizard and company. I think we got a few days tops." Cisco said.
"And he's stuck in bed?" Barry asked.
"Yeah, when he wakes up, I'm gonna transfer the stabilizer to this, give him a power cane, get him moving." Cisco said, gesturing to the device on his worktable.
"There has to be a way to help him." Patty said.
"I think I might know how to do that." Caitlin said as she showed the readings on the screen. "When the particle accelerator exploded, the dark matter that collided with Professor Stein fused with the Firestorm matrix and altered the normal molecular processes that occurs within his body. Those highly reactive molecules needed something to bond with in order to stabilize."
"And that's where Ronnie came in." Cisco realized.
Caitlin nodded. "Yes, and now that Ronnie is no longer a part of Professor Stein..."
"…those molecules don't have anything to bond to." Barry finished.
"And the longer he goes without merging, the more unstable he becomes." Caitlin explained.
"Do we have any ideas?" Patty asked.
"We find another... participant." Caitlin said.
"OK, cool, so, how do we do that? Are we just gonna make a Tinder app for potential metahumans? 'Cause I'm pretty sure merging with Stein and randomly bursting into flames sounds like the biggest "swipe left" of all time." Cisco said sarcastically.
"I mean, even if we could find someone willing, Stein can't just merge with whoever he wants." Barry pointed out.
"No, he can't, but I have done some research, and I found two potential candidates that might be compatible with him." Caitlin approached the computer, showing them the profiles. "They both were affected by the dark matter, and they were both admitted to the hospital showing symptoms of gene rearrangement mutation. And they both share the same blood type as Professor Stein and Ronnie."
"This isn't just an organ donation." Patty said.
Barry nodded. "We'll need more than tissue type to see if their bodies are compatible."
"If I can isolate the genetic locus of the two candidates and cross-reference it with the mutations in Professor Stein, I might be able to find a match and save his life." Caitlin said.
"What do you need to do that?" Barry asked.
Few moments later, Barry sped through the city, getting the blood samples before he returned to S.T.A.R. Labs with both samples. "All right, blood samples from both potential candidates."
"Damn, that was fast even for you." Cisco noted.
Patty raised her brows. "Uh, shouldn't the doctor technically ask the patient for…"
"I may have skipped the asking for permission part." Barry said awkwardly.
"Let's see if we can't find a match." Caitlin said.
Later, CCPD
"Wait, a walking man shark?" Patty asked, as she and Joe were taking a statement from a terrified witness as she was writing everything down.
"He even had teeth! Here!" The man showed them the bag with some animal teeth as she groaned.
"I'll… see if we can run some tests." Patty said as she got up.
"A man-shark?" Julian raised his brows. "Meta-animals?"
Joe winced, remembering Grodd. "Can you run some tests on this?"
"I'll see what I can find." Julian nodded as Patty handed him the bag with teeth and he left.
"Thanks." Patty said.
Barry noticed how frustrated Joe was. "Is everything OK, Joe?"
Joe sighed. "Iris is pretty nervous about seeing her mother after all these years."
"Yeah." Barry nodded before his phone went off as he picked it. "Hey, you know what, I gotta go. It's Cisco. It's about Professor Stein."
"OK, go. I'll cover you with Singh." Joe said as they left.
S.T.A.R. Labs
"Well, I must admit, I never imagined the Sphinx's riddle about a man requiring three legs would ever apply to me, but if this device keeps me mobile, then I will gratefully oblige." Stein said as he was leaning onto some hi-tech cane.
"Hopefully, you won't need it for much longer." Caitlin assured as she approached the computers. "There was no agglutination in the blood samples, and cross-matching was negative for both, and it appears that the dark matter from the particle accelerator explosion mutated their genes in a very similar way it did to yours. I think they're both potential matches."
"So who do we go with?" Barry asked.
"Well, my first choice is Henry Hewitt. He graduated summa cum laude from Hudson University with a double major in Applied Physics and Bioengineering." Caitlin said.
"I've heard about him. He seemed like a smart guy but… I don't know, some people thought he had… issues." Patty said.
"What kind of issues?" Cisco asked.
"Moody, I guess. I never really paid attention to the rumors, though." Patty said.
Barry looked at the other profile. "Now, what about this other guy Jefferson Jackson? High school quarterback, 4.0 student. He's got the physical attributes. And it looks like more of his alleles match than Hewitt's. Doesn't that mean that he's more compatible?"
"On paper, perhaps, but Hewitt is a scientist. Clearly, he's trying to make something of his life." Caitlin pointed out. "I think he'd be open to something like this."
"I think we should meet with both of them before we make a decision." Barry suggested.
"That's an excellent idea." Stein nodded in agreement.
"I'll see if I can get Hewitt here." Caitlin said.
"All right, in the meantime, we'll go meet with Jefferson Jackson." Barry said.
Patty looked at her watch. "Sorry, I got a meeting with one of the witnesses. I might have a lead on this man shark."
"And I will try to find something else to help keep you stable." Cisco said, turning to Stein. Unknowing to them, a man looking like Harrison Wells was scouring S.T.A.R. Labs.
Later, Central City
Barry and Stein entered a car shop as they saw an African American approach them.
"Jefferson Jackson, right?" Barry asked, offering his hand.
"People call me 'Jax'." Jax said, shaking his hand with Barry's.
"Ooh, catchy." Stein noted.
"My name's Barry Allen, and this is Martin Stein. We're with the Department of Safety. It's a small, newly formed agency." Barry said.
"Very new, we probably don't even have a website yet, do we?" Stein said.
"You need to see our licenses? I mean, we're all up to code here." Jax said.
Barry shook his head. "No, no, nothing like that. We are compiling data on people who were affected by the particle accelerator explosion two years ago."
Jax sighed in frustration. "Look, man, I lost enough time in my life 'cause of that stupid thing going wrong. Now, you don't got a car I can fix, I can't help you."
"If you would consider coming back to S.T.A.R. Labs with us, I believe we can help you." Stein said.
"Help me how?" Jax questioned.
"Well, we know what the Particle Accelerator did—"
"Look, I already told you, I don't talk about that night." Jax cut Barry off.
"Why is that?" Stein asked.
"Because that's when everything changed. I got hit hard. When I woke up, I was in the hospital. Busted up leg, torn ACL. The look on my mom's face, I knew any dreams I had of playing pro ball were over." Jax said sadly.
"I'm sorry to hear that." Barry said in sympathy.
"Yeah, well... look, I gotta get back to work." Jax said, walking off before Barry left him a paper with a number to call.
"Yeah... Here, it's just... it's our number. Just think about it, OK?" Barry said before he left with Stein.
S.T.A.R. Labs
They returned to the Cortex to see Hewitt, much to their surprise.
"Caitlin, what's going on?" Barry asked.
"Hi, I'm glad you're back. This is Dr. Henry Hewitt." Caitlin said as she introduced Barry and Stein to Hewitt. "This is Barry Allen and Professor Martin Stein."
"How do you do?" Stein shook his hand with Hewitt.
"The illustrious Martin Stein. I've read all your papers back at Hudson, especially on transmutation. Fascinating. You're a legend." Hewitt said, enthusiastic about meeting Stein.
"Oh, please. I think you're overestimating my contribution to the field." Stein said, slightly embarrassed.
"Isn't he great?" Caitlin asked.
"He's got an ego the size of Texas, but, yeah, he's all right." Cisco shrugged.
"So, where's Jefferson Jackson?" Caitlin asked.
"We just need more time." Barry said.
"We don't have more time. I couldn't find another power source for the cane and that thing's running out." Cisco said.
"OK, then let's do the merge. Hewitt's in." Caitlin said as Barry looked at her in surprise.
"What do you mean? You told him the details of the Firestorm Matrix?" Barry demanded.
"Absolutely, becoming Firestorm is a huge life change. He needs to know what he's getting himself into." Caitlin said.
Stein and Hewitt seemed to be getting along well as they looked hopeful.
Cisco explained to Hewitt what would happen as he attached the quantum splicer to his chest. Hewitt and Stein attempted to merge but to their surprise, nothing happened.
"This is unexpected." Stein said.
"Something's supposed to be happening, right?" Hewitt turned to them in confusion. "Why isn't it working?"
"I don't know." Caitlin said.
"Well, looks like you two aren't compatible after all." Cisco said as he took off Hewitt the splicer.
"So all this was for nothing?" Hewitt snapped.
"Believe me, no one is more disappointed than I am." Stein said.
"Yeah, don't be so sure about that." Hewitt drawled as he walked off. "Next time, try to get your act together before you get someone's hopes up."
Later, Mercury Labs
After hearing a report of a break-in into Mercury Labs, Joe and Patty entered to interview Dr. McGee.
"Detective West, Detective Spivot, thank you for coming." McGee said. "I was saddened by Detective Thawne's passing. Please extend my condolences to your daughter."
Joe nodded. "Thank you. On the phone you mentioned this was a sensitive matter."
"It is, and I called you directly because I've always appreciated your discretion in the past." McGee said.
"What was stolen, exactly?" Patty asked.
"It's not so much what was stolen, but who stole it." McGee took a breath. "The person who broke into my facility last night… was Harrison Wells."
Joe and Patty blinked.
"Harrison Wells is dead." Patty said.
"I seem to recall the circumstances around his passing were a bit inconclusive. Is there any possibility he could be alive?" McGee questioned.
"Zero possibility." Joe shook his head.
"I knew the man for over 20 years. I know who I saw." McGee said, turning to the lab perplexed. "The only thing distinctively different was... he's walking again." Joe's and Patty's faces turned grim. "Like I said, I trust your discretion. You have full access to the facility." Joe and Patty nodded before McGee walked off. "Thank you again, Detective."
"That's impossible, he's dead, isn't he?" Patty questioned. "We need to call Barry, get him in here first."
"No." Joe protested.
"Joe, I'm not gonna lie to him about this." Patty said.
"Patty, we've already got a lot on our plate with Stein and these Earth-2ers and if Barry finds out that Wells is alive…"
Patty nodded in understanding. "Joe, we can't keep this a secret from him."
"We're not. We just need to get to the bottom of this." Joe promised.
Later, S.T.A.R. Labs
"I thought S.T.A.R. Labs had to shut down." Jax said, confused as Barry let him in.
"It's under new management." Barry explained as Jax spotted the treadmill.
"Whoa, what kind of treadmill is that?" Jax asked.
"Cosmic." Cisco said.
Jax smiled. "Cool. So, let's get started. You got some kind of "Billion Dollar Man" technology that's gonna fix my knee?"
"Actually, Jax, this isn't about fixing your knee." Barry said.
Jax looked confused. "What are you talking about?"
"When the particle accelerator exploded, the energy wave that collided with you is known as "dark matter"." Stein explained.
"And it didn't just hurt your knee." Caitlin said.
"It... it changed the molecular structure of your body." Stein said.
"Whoa, hold on, Grey." Jax interrupted. "So you're saying I'm like one of those metahumans I keep hearing about on the news?"
"Yes, I am. Please, call me Professor." Stein said.
"We think you have potential capabilities." Barry said.
"What kind of capabilities?" Jax asked.
"The same as Professor Stein: the ability for your body to process fission and fusion." Caitlin said.
"And you can harness excess energy and turn it into these massive nuclear blasts." Cisco added. "And you can fly. There's also that."
Jax raised an eyebrow at Stein. "So you're saying you can do all this?"
"Only during times of convergence with a willing partner." Stein explained.
"Convergence? You and me?" Jax asked.
"Yes." Stein nodded.
"No, this is crazy." Jax shook his head, about to leave.
"No, Jax, this is your chance to right the wrong that was done to you." Barry said.
"Yeah, sorry, you got the wrong guy. I don't want nothing to do with this." Jax protested.
"Wait a second, we are giving you the chance to be a superhero, and you're gonna say no that quickly?" Caitlin demanded.
"Yeah, not my kind of thing." Jax said.
Stein spoke up. "If the man isn't willing to participate—"
"Look, I saw your test scores, Jax." Caitlin snapped. "Your grades were good enough to get into college, but you didn't go. Why? Is this the type of guy you are? One setback and you fold? Well, then maybe you're not the guy for us anyway."
"Well, maybe I'm not." Jax shrugged.
"Jax…" Barry pleaded but Jax walked off.
"Maybe this just wasn't meant to be." Stein said, resigned as Barry turned to Caitlin.
"Cait, come on, I mean, Jax could be our last chance at saving Professor Stein." Barry said.
"He said 'no' to being a superhero. Who does that?" Caitlin snapped. "I mean, you didn't say "no" when you had the chance. Cisco, would you?" She turned to him.
"Chance to have superpowers? Sign me up." Cisco nodded.
"Look, we're asking Jax to change his entire life, to sacrifice what he does have. I mean, that's not a decision that can be made lightly." Barry pointed out. "It took me a long time to figure out this whole hero thing."
"Exactly, which is why we need someone who wants to do this." Caitlin said as she walked off
"Where are you going?" Barry asked.
"To get Hewitt back. We have to try again." Caitlin said.
CCPD
"Half-man, half-shark." Patty said as she and Julian were going over the results.
"If that's even possible. You think it might be a metahuman?" Julian asked. "I mean, shark DNA merging with a human, I can't imagine something like that."
"Me either." Patty said.
"Don't you think you should call backup or leave this to the Flash? As much as I'm not a fan of him, I think we might be in over our heads on this one." Julian said.
"Yeah… we might be. Thanks." Patty said as she was about to leave.
"Where's Allen? I haven't seen him lately." Julian said.
"Uh… personal stuff. An old friend is back in town." Patty lied.
"All… right…" Julian said. "But he should put some priorities into place, I mean, he needs to take this work more seriously, personal issues can wait."
"I'm not sure this can." Patty said, thinking of Wells/Thawne before they saw on TV the news report about energy malfunction at Eikmeier Technologies, with Hewitt being the main suspect.
"What the hell…" Julian trailed off.
"I gotta go." Patty said as she ran off.
Later, S.T.A.R. Labs
Barry, Patty, Cisco, Caitlin and Stein were watching the news as Caitlin looked disturbed. "Hewitt's dormant abilities must have been triggered when we attempted the merger." Caitlin realized.
"This could be catastrophic." Stein said, terrified. "If his powers are anything like mine, he requires a grounding mechanism to stabilize his volatility. Otherwise—"
"Yeah, he's gonna pop his top." Cisco nodded, looking at the records. "And he's got a long history of violence, according to his police record."
"Somehow, that doesn't surprise me." Patty said. "I knew it would be a bad idea to ask Hewitt to do this but this I wasn't expecting. I found his police record." She pulled a file out of her bag.
"Police record?" Barry repeated.
"I didn't find a police record." Caitlin said.
"Yeah, of course not, it was sealed." Cisco said. "But it is digitized."
Patty showed them the file. "One charge battery, two charges aggravated assault, plus court-ordered anger management therapy."
Caitlin looked disturbed. "He seemed like such a nice guy." She turned to Stein. "He even knew your Hudson nerd song."
Suddenly, Stein breathed out as if he was having a seizure. "Whoa, you OK?" Cisco said as Stein leaned onto him.
"It appears Mr. Hewitt's stability isn't the only one in question." Stein said. "I think I need to lie down."
"Yeah, I'll come with you." Cisco accompanied Stein, who was leaning onto his shoulder.
"Thank you." Stein said.
"Professor Stein is getting worse." Caitlin whispered as she sat down. "And Hewitt's like this because of me. And now Jefferson Jackson will never come back because of what I said. I just didn't believe that he has what it takes."
"Caitlin, don't beat yourself up, it doesn't help." Patty put an assuring hand on her shoulder.
"This isn't because you didn't believe in him. Sometimes, great possibilities are right in front of us, and we don't see them, because we choose not to." Barry added, assuring her. "I think that we need to be open to exploring something new."
Caitlin stared with a contemplative look on her face.
Later
Caitlin returned to Jax's car shop as he looked at her, sighing in frustration. "Let me guess, you don't got car troubles."
"I came to apologize. I'm sorry for what I said." Caitlin said, looking regretful.
"It's fine. Apology accepted." Jax said nonchalantly.
"Look, we could really use your help to save Professor Stein." Caitlin pleaded.
Jax scoffed as he was putting on his jacket. "That desperate, huh?"
"Yes." Caitlin said as Jax turned to her with folded arms. "My husband, Ronnie, he used to be Professor Stein's other half. He actually helped build the particle accelerator, and when it exploded, he was affected by it too." Jax put down his arms, now intrigued. "Ironically, that's how he got the chance to show the world what he was truly capable of. And he died saving this city."
Jax blinked. "Wait, he was the guy that flew into the black hole? That was him?"
Caitlin nodded. "He was a hero. You can be one too."
Jax scoffed. "I never wanted to be a hero. What I wanted was to go to college, but we couldn't afford it. Football was my way in, until that got taken from me."
"I know." Caitlin nodded, looking at Jax in sympathy. "Look, I know the Particle Accelerator took something from you. But it also gave you something in return, something even more spectacular, the opportunity to be part of something bigger, to be part of a team that's working to protect people from losing what you lost. I believe you were meant to be a hero."
Jax considered before lights in the car shop started to flicker. "Whoa, hold on."
"I've been looking for you, Dr. Snow." Hewitt said, glaring at her.
"Hey, look, man, we're... ugh!" Jax grunted as Hewitt blasted him back, some energy pulsing through him as lights flickered and sparked.
"You did this to me! But it's not what you promised, is it? Is it?!" Hewitt demanded.
Jax threw a car part at Hewitt, dazing him.
"Come on!" Caitlin ordered as she and Jax entered her car and drove back to S.T.A.R. Labs.
Later, S.T.A.R. Labs
"Caitlin." Barry sighed in relief as Caitlin and Jax entered.
"What's wrong?" Caitlin asked.
"Come here." Barry said as he accompanied them to Stein on the stretcher.
"Oh, good, you're here. This thing, it ran out, like, 30 minutes ago." Cisco said as he showed them the splicer.
"His temperature is 142 degrees and it's going up quickly." Patty said.
"He's going into rapid oxidation. We need to find a coolant." Caitlin said.
"I think it's too late for that." Cisco argued.
"I'll do it." Jax volunteered, much to Caitlin's surprise. "I'll merge with him. You said this is a chance for me to be a part of something bigger than myself, to help people. That's what I want."
"You're sure?" Barry questioned. "Once you merge, there's no going back on this."
Jax nodded before turning to Cisco. "And you said I could fly, right?"
"Damn right." Cisco said.
"OK. So what do I do?" Jax asked.
"OK, well, here's the abridged version." Cisco said as he left with Jax, summing up what was going to happen.
"Professor Stein?" Caitlin shook Stein, who was unconscious.
"Martin? Can you hear us?" Patty asked.
"Clarissa, five more minutes." Stein whispered.
"No, Professor, you have to get up. Jax is here." Barry said as Stein opened his eyes.
"What?" Stein asked, waking up.
"Jax is here." Barry repeated, putting the glasses on Stein as he and Patty helped him on his feet and accompanied him to Jax, who had the quantum splicer on.
"You came back, Jefferson, thank you." Stein said.
"Well, like my coach always said, "Out of yourself and into the team."" Jax chuckled. "So, how's this work?"
"OK, all you're gonna do is touch him." Cisco said.
"And then what happens?" Jax inquired.
"You become Firestorm." Caitlin said.
"OK." Jax nodded, taking a breath before he and Stein merged, becoming Firestorm.
Caitlin stared. "Jax? Is Professor Stein—"
"How will I know?" Jax questioned.
"Hello, Jefferson." Stein said, inside Jax's mind. "Now you know."
"Oh, so I get Grey as my co-pilot." Jax realized.
"Did no one ever inform you of that fringe benefit?" Stein asked.
"So when do we get to take this for a test spin?" Jax asked before an alarm went off on the computer.
"How about now? It looks like Hewitt's re-charging at Central City High School's football stadium." Cisco said.
"Wait, that was where I got hurt." Jax realized.
Central City
Hewitt was in the football stadium, draining energy as people were running away, while the Flash was getting them to safety.
"Cisco, cut the power to the field so he can't draw any more energy." Barry ordered.
"I'm on it. Stand by." Cisco said, typing away. "Boo-ya ka!"
The power went off in the stadium as the Flash neared Hewitt, who stopped draining energy. "Hewitt! You need to stop! This is not who you are!"
Hewitt then spotted Firestorm in the air as he glared in anger. "Stein? You chose him over me?" He demanded angrily. "That's who I'm supposed to be! I deserve the Firestorm Matrix!"
Hewitt blasted Jax away but Jax was able to get control as he landed safely.
"Hey, you OK?" Barry asked, nearing Jax.
"I was a quarterback. I know how to take a hit." Jax said.
"Hey, guys, cutting the power didn't work. It's like the more we anger him, the stronger he gets." Barry said.
Caitlin snapped her fingers. "That's it, it's like one of those, controlled fusion devices."
"Tokamak?" Cisco asked.
"Yes, exactly." Caitlin said as Patty caught onto her thoughts.
"The stronger he is, the more unstable he becomes." Patty snapped her fingers.
"Barry, make him angry, and he'll blow his fuse." Caitlin ordered.
Barry turned to Jax. "You up for a little game of "catch me if you can"?"
"Let's go for it." Jax nodded.
"OK." Barry nodded before he sped off, while Jax flew up.
"Hey, Hewitt, over here! Paging Dr. Hewitt." Barry taunted, circling around him. Hewitt snarled, trying to blast Barry but missed. "Man, you are not good at this. Do you need a hug, Doctor?"
"Come on, Hewitt, give me your best shot!" Jax shouted.
"Now!" Stein ordered as Jax threw a torrent of fire, while Hewitt attempted to blast him.
"Is that all you got, Hewitt?" Barry taunted, getting behind him.
"Man, no wonder you didn't make the cut if that's how you fight." Jax drawled as he and Barry laughed.
Hewitt roared, attempting to blast them both but Barry and Jax dodged before Jax flew towards Hewitt, knocking him out.
"Not bad for your first go at this." Barry said.
"Well, I had a great coach to help me through it. Isn't that right, Grey?" Jax said.
"Despite my initial reservations, we make a pretty fantastic team." Stein admitted.
"Welcome aboard, Firestorm." Barry said.
The following day
"And how is Mr. Hewitt?" Stein asked as they went out from Jax's house.
"Seems like that last burst of energy has burnt him out." Caitlin said.
"Our Tokamak's gone dark." Cisco assured.
"Yeah, we're just gonna keep him safe and sound in the Pipeline till he decides to keep quiet about all this." Barry shrugged.
"So you're gonna meet up with Clarissa?" Joe asked.
"We're meeting in Pittsburgh in three days." Stein said.
"Why Pittsburgh?" Jax asked.
"A colleague of mine was monumental in helping train Ronald and me. She's graciously offered to help the two of us as well." Stein explained.
"How's she gonna help us?"
"Well, there were many aspects of our abilities that we never quite achieved. Hopefully now, we can fully realize that potential." Stein then turned to Caitlin, smiling. "Oh, my dearest Dr. Snow." They pulled in for a hug. "Ronald may be lost to us, but he will never be forgotten."
Caitlin showed Jax some small piece of machinery. "Speaking of... this was Ronnie's. He always used it to find his way back home. I want you to have it."
"Thank you." Jax said. "You know, this whole thing is strange, being 50% of someone."
"Yeah, but you're 100% a hero." Caitlin assured with a smile.
"I went ahead and recalibrated the splicer, so the merging should be even smoother now." Cisco said.
"Thank you." Stein nodded before lowering his voice. "If I may offer a bit of parting advice. Cisco, I know you're scared, but this ability you have is a gift, not a curse. It's natural to be apprehensive about the unknown, but look at Jefferson. He took a leap, and it changed his life for the better. The very thing that makes you different is what makes you special. Tell your friends."
Later, Central City
"I'm gonna miss Stein." Patty said as she and Barry walked down the streets.
"Me too." Barry said as they were drinking coffee.
"Who knows how many metas is Zoom going to send here." Patty wondered before they heard screams and turned around to see a giant shark in the plaza.
"Flash! I sense the Flash!" The shark roared.
"Oh, my God…" Patty stared. "It's real."
Barry quickly put on his suit and tried to attack the giant shark but the shark grabbed him by his throat. "Zoom wants you dead."
"Hey! Put him down! Put your hands... your fins in the air!" Patty shouted, aiming at the shark.
The shark laughed, nearing Patty, who fired but the shark was unfazed before suddenly, he was shot from behind by a man in a hood holding in his hand some hi-tech rifle. The man was walking away before the Flash and Patty neared him.
"Don't move!" Patty yelled as the man stopped, while she aimed her gun at him.
"Who the hell are you?" Barry demanded.
The man turned around and lowered his hood, revealing the face of Harrison Wells, much to Barry's and Patty's shock.
Fun fact, Demore Barnes, the actor playing Hewitt in The Flash, also played in Titans Season 2 a character named William Wintergreen, who in Titans and in comic books is known as a loyal friend and associate of Slade Wilson (Deathstroke). Billy Wintergreen's background from Arrow was changed for the sake of the show, for him being Slade's former best friend until he turned on him.
