"Wait…." Iris stopped him. Her face was stuck in utter confusion. Before Puppetmaster could answer her, Thorn walked through the door. Puppetmaster snatched the pillow from behind her back, and put it behind his. Thorn clicked his tongue.
"I knew you were missing." He reprimanded Puppetmaster. Puppetmaster gasped.
"I was just giving our guest a little visit."
"Auggie, Master, I would formally scream at you for this but The Flash is waiting for us." Iris' eyes widened. She shook her head.
"No. No. I'm not, I'm not doing that. You can kill me, I won't do it."
"Oh, you have to." Thorn insisted. "Master, make her fall asleep."
"No." He replied.
"WHAT?" Thorn was seething. Iris looked up at Puppetmaster with hope. "Do it, now. August. Now."
"I can't. She doesn't have the serum in her body. You know, the one that actually lets me take control of her?"
"Then let's get some in her system. It's not that hard, it doesn't take that long to activate."
"Did you see what happened earlier? She threw up because it didn't react well with her system."
"Really?" Thorn sneered. Iris dropped her gaze. What's that supposed to mean?
"Why did you come in here, James?" Puppetmaster was obviously done with Thorn's bullcrap.
"He's waiting for us back at the bank. We need to figure out what to do with her."
"Why can't she just be there, guarded and handcuffed?" Puppetmaster suggested. Iris shook her head more. "Let's defeat The Flash, now. If we get defeated we can just kill her in front of him."
"No, no!"
"Yes, August. That is a fantastic idea." He looked at a furious Iris. "Beautiful plan." Thorn walked out of the room and closed the door. Puppetmaster turned back to Iris.
"I'm sorry. You're going to escape, I promise."
"Why did you mention killing me then?"
"So he would think I'm still on his side." Puppetmaster answered. There was a beat.
"Why are you all so set on killing my husband?"
"Jada. We all blame The Flash on The Enlightenment. Once she was gone, we all fell into a darkness. But now, I've finally realized that what we've been doing isn't right. We thought that taking you and using you to make The Flash unable to fight you or us. I realized some things after you threw up. I want to be a good person. For Jada."
"Thank you, for realizing that. I'm sure your daughter would appreciate that you're trying to be a good person. But, what will Thorn do to you?"
"I'll be with Jada."
"We can help you. Barry would understand if you saved me. He's all about redemption. I love that about him."
"Perhaps. But we need to go. Let's get you home."
