Cisco: Ladies and gentlemen, we finally have our hands on the meta-human cure.
Ben: Finally.
Cisco: Yes it's finally here and thanks to Caitlin, we even have a way to deliver our silver bullet.
Sherloque: I believe there is a big "but" coming.
Caitlin: But we need to test the cure on a meta-human.
Sherloque: There it is.
Barry: What we need is to save the meta's from people like Cicada, targeting innocent people.
Nora: Is the cure dangerous?
Caitlin: Well, it's an untested serum that alters biology on a cellular level, so until we try it out on someone, we have no way of knowing.
Cisco: When we started working on the cure, we decided that it would always be a choice, not a weapon, so all we need is a volunteer.
Sherloque: Well, there's quite a conundrum, right? A meta-human volunteer when the meta-humans in this city have been chased away by us or kill by Cicada or incarcerated at Iron Heights Prison, so...
Barry: Nobody from either group is gonna volunteer.
Sherloque: No, these criminals are not going to relinquish their powers, although...
Nora: There's gotta be somebody somewhere.
Ben: That not going to be easy?
Cisco: Yeah...
Caitlin: I can call Harry and ask him if there's a meta who wants to volunteer.
Barry: No, we know a meta from Earth-2 and very willing to take the cure, but it might be a little hard to talk to him.
Ben: Who?
(ARGUS)
(Ben, Nora, Barry, Cisco, and Caitlin walk into the ARGUS base)
Barry: Thank you for seeing us Lyla.
Lyla: Of course. What can I do for you?
Caitlin: We're here to cure King Shark.
Lyla: King Shark? You really think you can cure him?
Nora: That's the idea.
Barry: Oh, Lyla, this is, um... my daughter, Nora.
Lyla: Your daughter?
Barry: Yeah.
Nora: I'm from-
Lyla: The future, I'm guessing.
Nora: Weird, right?
Lyla: No weirder than waking up one day to find out that your son used to be your daughter.
Ben: Wait, what?!
Lyla: And you must be Ben.
Ben: You know me?
Lyla: John and Oliver have talked about you.
Ben: You know Diggle and Oliver?
Lyla: I am John's wife.
Ben: Makes sense.
Lyla: So, why King Shark?
Caitlin: Dark matter levels vary from meta-human to meta-human, but Shay Lamden's case is the most extreme we've seen, so we think if we could reverse the effects of a high level mutation like his-
Lyla: You can help all metahumans.
Cisco: Look, we know King Shark has limited speech, but we're wondering, could we try and talk to him? If we're gonna do this, we're gonna need his permission.
