Speed Lab. Trails of yellow lightning everywhere, while gusts of wind left the room kind chilly. Amongst the chaos, Izzy DeVoe in her floating chair.

"Ralph."

"Ready."

"Enact double scarlet's speeds-turn."

"Three, two, one—"

"Wait!" The Flash strutted to a stop while Supergirl landed next to him, the of them listening on to their comms, "I got a better idea."

Suddenly, the Elongated Man stretched down besides them and whistled, "Over here, Doc Ock," he said which grabbed DeVoe's attention, "Watch this, Master Splinter," and when the extracted legs came for him, Elongated Man stretched his head down into his body, "Turtle power!"

DeVoe tilted her head confused while Supergirl watched Elongated Man snap his hands out like a crab. "Shut it down," Flash muttered annoyed and DeVoe glitched away before the lights in the Speed Lab flickered back on.

The Flash took his cowl off before he and Supergirl walked up to Iris and Cisco, "Alright, let's run it again. We got to make this work."

"Does he know that?" Cisco asked before the two heroes swung around to find Elongated Man standing there, hands on hips, his head still stretched inside himself.

"Ralph?" Supergirl called out, "Ralph!"

And Elongated Man pulled his head out, back to normal, staring at everyone, "What?" He asked.

"One more time, please. Follow Barry and Kara's plan?" Iris said.

"You know, the one where I spent hours of my precious time programming realistic holograms for you," Cisco added.

"Which," Elongated Man began before softly chuckling, "Bravo on that by the way."

"Thank you," Cisco said.

"Ralph, just morph yourself into Barry. There'll be two Flashes, Thinker won't know which one is which, and we'll confuse him," Supergirl explained.

"Kind of a her actually," Elongated Man said.

"Ralph," Barry sternly said and he looked at him, "You're missing the point of this exercise."

"No, I get it. I was just doing a little improv," Elongated Man said.

"But this isn't standup comedy," Barry argued.

"Yeah, I know that, but if you just let it play out, it would have worked. You could have done some improving of your own. Comedy comes in threes, man," Elongated Man told him, and out of frustration, Barry stepped towards him.

"We're trying to protect you," he sternly said, "DeVoe's coming. We need to be ready. All of us, okay?"

"I still think it's a pretty good plan. I hide my face. I save my ass," Elongated Man said which Barry shook his head in annoyance.

Walking through the halls of the building, Iris, Cisco and Ralph all followed Barry and Kara, all of them listen to Ralph making more jokes. "We'd make a fortune. An improv group made up of superheroes? We can take it to Washington. We'd be the DC Comics," Ralph said.

"No, Ralph," Cisco said.

"First rule of improv is say yes," Ralph said.

"Would it kill you to take training seriously?" Barry asked.
