Cisco's Workshop

Harry was standing by the main counter while Wally was in the back, getting stuff together. "West," Harry said and Wally looked back at him. "How are we coming along with that gear?"

"I've made all the adjustments you asked for," Wally said as he walked up to Harry with his gear. "so we should be good to go."

"Good. Thank you," Harry said as he started to work on the gear.

"Yeah. Um, how exactly is this gonna help Cisco vibe any differently?" Wally asked.

"Ah, simple science. We just broaden the overall harmonic resonance of Cisco's vibrational frequencies all while focusing them on a fixed temporal locus. Couldn't be easier," Harry explained but Wally was still confused.

"Yeah. You know, I got to admit, Harry, I was super surprised at how cool you were with Jesse staying on this Earth. I thought, for sure, you were gonna freak out and throw something or throw someone," Wally said before he giggled.

"Well, my daughter's happiness is of the utmost importance to me. And you make her happy," Harry said.

"I'm gonna do everything in my power to keep it that way," Wally said.

"I appreciate that, West. I'm sure Jesse will too, after I'm gone," Harry said but Wally eyed him confused.

"We're gonna come visit you on Earth-2 a bunch, so you don't have to worry about that, Harry," Wally said.

"Yeah, right. Uh, well, means the world to me, seeing as I don't know how much time I have left," Harry said and Wally stared at him, suddenly shocked.

"Wait, y-you're sick?" Wally asked.

"I'm not as well as I once was," Harry said.

"Have you seen a doctor?" Wally asked.

"Yes. I have seen a doctor, West," Harry said.

"Is it serious?" Wally asked and Harry sighed heavily. "Oh, man, Harry. Man. Um - I'm sorry."

"Me too," Harry said.

"Does Jesse know?" Wally asked.

"Appreciate you keep this between us. She doesn't know, and we wouldn't want to upset her," Harry said and Wally nodded while Harry was secretly satisfied.

STAR Labs
Breach Room

That night, Joe walked in to find Harry, Barry, Caitlin, Kara, Mon, and Cisco gathered around, getting Cisco prepared for his vibe, who was wearing his goggles. "Hey, SWAT's ready to roll whenever y'all are. We find Grodd yet?" Joe asked and Barry sighed.

"We're about to," Barry said before he walked up next to Kara, who was by Harry and Caitlin. "Cisco, you ready?"

"Harry, this thing, if it fries my brain," Cisco started.

"It's an improvement," Harry said in a gruffy expression.

"Was that "Rocky"?" Cisco asked.

"Yeah, Burgess Meredith," Harry said and Cisco chuckled.

"Yeah, I'm ready," Cisco said.

"Word of warning. Vibing blind, it's like surfing a monster wave. You need to stay above the temporal flow, otherwise your consciousness can get sucked under," Harry explained and they all looked at him, suddenly worried.

"And then what happens?" Caitlin asked.

"I don't know. Guess we'll find out," Harry said.

"Wait, what?" Cisco asked as Harry pressed a button, sending Cisco in his vibe.
