"Hey, guys," Wally, Caitlin, Cisco and HR all turned to see Barry and Kara walked in, hand in hand, followed by Mon and Iris. "um...Iris, Mon, Kara and I, um... we have something we need to tell you."

———

After the four had told everyone about Iris, they stared at the four heavily. "So you're saying that four months from now, Savitar will-" Caitlin started.

"Kill me," Iris said sternly.

"Possi...possibly," Mon stammered.

"It's okay. Guys, I am okay. Really," Iris assured but Wally eyed her.

"How are you gonna tell Dad?" Wally asked.

"I'm not," Iris sternly said.

"Iris, he needs to know," Wally said.

"I agree with Wallace. Joe needs to know," HR said.

"No, guys, this news would blind him, okay? We all saw how crazy he went when Wally was in danger. Imagine if he knew that Savitar was trying to kill me. He would go after Savitar himself," Iris explained but they all still saw Wally was concerned.

"Wally...The future isn't set. There's still hope," Barry said.

"But, Barry, the future, it's harder to change than you can imagine. The future wants to happen. The way it was explained to me was, imagine if you had a row of dominos, okay? Now, those dominos are all set up, and it... it's-" HR explained then Cisco walked up to him with a small box of dominos.

"Here," Cisco said and HR eyed the box before taking it.

"So convenient...uh, Barry, if you wou-" HR started but then Barry took the dominos and set them up on a nearby table with his superspeed. "So imagine, okay, domino...each domino is a moment in time. One moment in time leads to the next, so as one domino falls, it hits the next, it hits the next, and the next, and the next, and so on, leading to the inevitable conclusion, and that is..." HR then softly knocked down one of the dominos, causing the next and the next and the next. "The future."

"And what happens if we alter certain events?" Mon asked.

"Well, you...you could conceivably change where you end up, but...but, Barry, if you would," HR said and Barry set it all up again like before. "So you could change the future, but you'd have to be very careful about which events," he continued as he took some dominos out of place. "you alter."

He then knocked over some dominos, knocking the next and next, but not the last one. "We need to figure out everything that happens leading up to Iris's death," Kara said.

"Wait, when I saw the future, there was a news scroll on TV. I mean, that could offer us some clues," Barry said.

"Absolutely. I think I can help with that. Hang on, McFly. About to vibe you back to the future," Cisco said.

Breach Room

Cisco was working on some stuff to vibe the future, with HR by the toolbox, and Mon-El watching Cisco work. "Can you pass me the multi-meter please?" Cisco asked, looking at HR who was holding the multi-meter. But HR grabbed a tool from the toolbox and handed it to Cisco.

"Yeah," HR said but Cisco looked at him annoyed.

"The multi-meter," Cisco said and HR got another tool from the toolbox and handed it to Cisco.
