"We can't keep this up any longer, we need to stop them here and now." Laurel said as she and the others all entered the Cortex.
"And I think we have found a solution." Harry said.
"Really, what?" Barry asked.
"I remembered how my goggles wouldn't work when we were on Earth 2 due to the frequency being different. So, Harry and I figured that it works both ways. People from Earth 2 vibrate at a different frequency than people from this earth, so we figure that if we can determine the correct frequency, we can use some sort of vibrational tech to take out all of the Earth 2 metas." Cisco said.
"But what about Harry and Jesse? They're both from Earth 2, wouldn't that knock them out to?" Laurel asked.
"No, since before we deploy the technology, we'll create some way to protect Harry and Jessie from the pulse. But right now, we need to focus. And Jesse, due to how complicated this is, we'll need you in the lab and not in the city." Harry said to his daughter.
"I'm on it. Just let me go change." Jesse said as she sped out and back super quickly.
"So, what are we supposed to do while you do that?" Barry asked.
"Iris and Caitlin have been waiting for you guys to get back. They want to train against you guys." Joe said.
"Where are they?" Laurel asked.
"In the training room." Joe said.
"Let's go." Laurel said.
"About time." Iris said as Barry, Laurel and Wally joined her and Caitlin in the training room.
"Sorry, we were just trying to keep this city from being destroyed." Wally said.
"Are you guys sure you don't want to practice more before going up against us. I mean, Barry probably has the most training with powers of all of us and Wally and I are making a close second." Laurel said.
"Yes, if we're ever going to become a hero, than we need to learn to use our powers in combat." Caitlin said.
"As you wish. But you guys seriously need to talk to Cisco about coming up with a superhero name." Wally said.
"Actually we did. What do you guys think about Blizzard?" Iris said.
"I like it." Barry said.
"Sounds cool." Laurel said.
"Nice pun." Caitlin said.
"So, are we talking or fighting?" Wally asked, getting impatient.
"Give us minute." Iris said as she and Caitlin merged into Blizzard.
"Let's do this." Barry said as he and the others put on their masks on began to fight.
However, Laurel alone was able to easily split Blizzard back into Iris and Caitlin simply by screaming, shattering their ice attacks.
"That seemed to easy. It's usually impossible to forcibly separate Firestorm, so why were you able to?" Barry asked Laurel, who shrugged.
"She didn't, I did." Caitlin said.
"What? Why the hell would you do that?" Iris asked.
"Because you were reacting too slowly. I separated us in order to protect us." Caitlin said
"Yeah and if you did that in a real fight you'd not only get both of us killed but you'd expose our identities in a second." Iris countered.
"Iris is right. Caitlin, rather than just assuming that Iris can't handle it, try advising her like Professor Stein does Jax when they're merged. You have to remember that when you're merged, you're not 2 people, you're one organism that requires both of you to be unison in order to survive." Barry said.
"And don't expect me to pull all the weight around. Since it's my body on the line, you better put that mind to use in making sure that it doesn't get killed, because if I go down, so do you." Iris reminded her.
"Alright, I'm sorry, this just reminded me of how Ronnie died, so I panicked." Caitlin said.
"Cait, I'm sorry, I forgot." Iris said.
"It's fine, but that's why I was so quick to separate us. I mean, what if something were to happen that caused you to die, simply because I wasn't able to come up with another to save you." Caitlin asked.
"Than that's that, but Caitlin, if we're going to do this, than I need to know that you're one hundred percent committed to it. If we're ever going to achieve our full power as Blizzard, than we have to be working as one, meaning one body, one mind. Not a dictatorship where you just do what you wish and expect me to take the hits." Iris said.
"Can I have some time to think about it?" Caitlin asked.
"Of course, just remember that Harry said we have to merge at least once every 72 hours in order to keep you from freezing to death." Iris said and Caitlin nodded.
"Wait, but I thought that Stein could go without merging for up to 6 months?" Laurel asked.
"According to Harry, that's due to the stability to Firestorm whereas my problem is simply trying to avoid either freezing or turning evil, so Iris and I have to merge more frequently in order to keep me from getting too cold." Caitlin explained.
"I guess that makes sense." Barry said.
