Caitlin was checking every pulse of the body while Julian watched her every move, annoying her to no end. "Anything?" Julian asked.

"Aside from this body disintegrating before our eyes? Nothing unusual," Caitlin said.

"There must be a heightened point of necrosis somewhere," Julian said but Caitlin continued to check the body. "Look! We have less than 50 minutes before this corpse disintegrates into ash like the last one. We need to find it now."

"I'm aware," Caitlin said.

"This might be a faster process if I did it alone," Julian said.

"You know, I've done autopsies before, Julian," Caitlin said.

"I'm sure you have. This might just be a quicker process if I did it alone," Julian said but Caitlin ignored him and continued to go down the corpse's arm, where it was darker than the rest of the body was. "What are you doing?"

"The gradation is darker on the palm of his hand from the point of contact," Caitlin said before she was able to get a skin tissue.

"I see, I see," Julian said, taking it, and over to the 3D image medical scanner.

"You know, I used to think Barry was overreacting when he complained about sharing a lab with you. But now I understand his frustration," Caitlin said, walking up next to him.

"Believe me, no one is more frustrated than I," Julian said.

"You do realize that it's possible not to be a jerk all the time, right?" Caitlin said.

"Yes, yes, yes, yes," Julian said then the scanner beeped and they looked at the screen to see two images of DNA.

"Two strains of DNA," Caitlin said.

"One of them must be from our killer," Julian said.

"But, you know, there's something else here. Have you ever seen anything like that before?" Caitlin asked.

"I have...in all the meta husks created by Alchemy. Which means the meta that killed our two innocent people...was created by me," Julian said.

Kara, Barry, Iris, Joe, Wally, Cecile and Joanie were all seated down at the higher level of the coffee shop when Joe gave out the drinks for everyone. "Home roasted for Kara," Joe said, giving the drink to Kara and she happily took it.

"Thank you," Kara said before she took a sip of it.

"French roast for Cecile," Joe said and Cecile took her drink.

"Thank you," Cecile said.

"Non-dairy green tea latte for Joanie," Joe said and Joanie took her drink.

"You not much of a coffee drinker, Joanie?" Kara asked.

"Well, I used to be, but then I learned hot roasted coffee beans contain cancer-causing levels of acrylamide," Joanie said and everyone almost choked on their coffees.

"Well, damn," Joe muttered.

"Uh, Joanie, Cecile says you're at Coast U? What are you studying?" Wally asked.

"I'm undecided," Joanie said.

"Are you leaning towards anything?" Kara asked.

"Not really," Joanie said.

"Uh, Coast U's pretty far, right? Do you ever miss Central City?" Iris asked.

"Actually, I like it better there. Well, there is one thing I miss about Central City," Joanie said.
