The Speedster and the Kryptonian- 1000 Years

Drowning in Failure

Continuation of last chapter, my bad again for not updating, I sustained an injury so I couldn't type for a few days, forgive me if today's chapter may seem too short.

Caitlin was patching up Izzy, she wrapped gauze around her arm. 

"Should be good to go, there might be a little scar though," Caitlin said as she finished up, pulling off her gloves.

"Wouldn't be my first Doc, probably won't be my last," Izzy responded, Caitlin, smiled at her and nodded.

"It will be if I have anything to do with it," Ralph assured her. Caitlin raised an eyebrow and smiled knowingly at Ralph.

"Why would you have anything to do with it?" Izzy asked him. Ralph silently chuckled and took a step forward.

"I'm... Gonna go," Caitlin said awkwardly and left.

Izzy was gathering her things as she hopped off the bed.

"What are you doing?" Ralph asked.

"The way I see it, I've gotten more hurt here than I ever did fighting Devoe, so I'm not gonna spend another second training," Izzy responded firmly. 

"Okay, that is a really bad idea," Ralph told her with equal firmness, holding his pointer finger up at her.

"I've already hurt Devoe. By myself, without y'all. I can do it again."

"Izzy, the only way for you to stay safe is for you to stay with us," Ralph reasoned with her, they had more safety in numbers than alone.

Izzy looked at him in denial.

"It's the buddy system... Right?" Ralph told her, his eyes filled with guilt.

"You're not my buddy, Ralph," Izzy responded, the remark was like a punch to the gut to Ralph.

She made her way towards the exit, but Ralph was there in front of her.

"Hey, hey, hey, hey! Don't do this," He begged. Izzy leaned forward, then she whistled into his face, Ralph was propelled to the ground as he was knocked out by a soundwave.

"Sorry Ralphie," She muttered as she made her escape from the lab.

The scene switched to where Harry was holding up a device with 3 blue lights in the front. He had spent hours tinkering and messing with it, and with the help of Cecile Horton, he knew it could work, she had been having problems. She would hear Joe's thoughts and everyone else's thoughts as well, so Harry designed it to dampen her powers while she slept.

"Initially I envisioned the mental activity dampener as just disrupting inbound brainwave broadcasts, I talked to DA Cecille Horton and we had the idea to invert the polarity allowing this to disrupt outbound brainwave broadcasts as well so-"

"We can use this against Devoe," Barry told him.

"We could use this against Devoe," Harry told him, agreeing with him.

"Brilliant," Caitlin mumbled.

"Awesome Except... Mental activity dampener?" Cisco asked, hoping to name the device.

"Ramon, the name's no good which is why- drum roll, please- I decided to rename this cerebral inhibitor."

Barry perked up, he was flashed back to when they were back at STAR Labs when he was with Savitar. Barry looked at Cailtin, then at Cisco.

"What's that? What are- What are those faces?" Harry asked them, waving his finger around. 

Alura walked into the room, she was in a white long-sleeve top with black slacks and some heels.
