"I've officially hacked every Quantum Kinematic database on the planet. You know what I found out about Artificial Speed Forces?" Cisco walks in the cortex with Caitlin behind him, the speedsters sitting in front of the console looking at footage of Thawne sleeping in the pipeline. The two look between them as Y/N looked hopeful but the next words made her frown, "Thawne built one, and that's it. And I doubt he's gonna tell us, seeing how he's Linda Blaired our pal Nash, and you know, he kinda wants to murder the hell out of us."

"Well if Thawne can figure it out, so can we." Y/N declared, looking between the team, leaning back in her seat.

"In the meantime, we need to make sure the Electric-Flash and Lightning Storm don't lose their powers." Caitlin tells them, "The Speed Force may be gone, but there's still a residual amount of speed left in both your DNA's."

The two give a nod as Cisco walks to stand next to Caitlin, "Until we figure out how much, we need to manage your speed output."

"And how will we do that?" Ethan questioned, moving from side to side in his seat.

Cisco holds out two watches with a grin, "I call it the Speed Gauge."

Ethan and Y/N reach for one, taking it from him as they look at him. Cisco nods and the two start to put it on as Caitlin holds up her tablet, showing them the color code for the watches.

"It will measure the intensity of the velocity you're both using by colors. So, right now, it's black." Caitlin motions to them, "That's neutral― means you're not using any speed at all. If you're using a minimal amount, that's green."

"The yellow is next, then orange, and obviously red is the maximum amount." Caitlin looks between the two, "At this point, I don't recommend operating beyond green. And we're not just talking about running, okay? Speed thinking-"

"Speed healing-" Cisco adds.

"Flashtime." Caitlin goes on, the siblings both huffing quietly, "All of these could deplete your meta-abilities. You guys have to be careful."

Ethan exhaled deeply, crossing his arms, "Well, that'll be easy for me― I mean, I haven't had my speed for almost two years. So― maybe until we figure out how to make our own speed, Artemis could be tagged in."

Caitlin and Cisco nod as the dark blonde says, "Yeah, that could work, but just be very careful with Speed healing."

"Got it." Ethan nods.

"Okay, well, if Artemis is in then the city won't really be alone." Y/N said, "But, the Electric-Flash can't just disappear either, we have to do something."

Although Nash's voice shouts from the pipeline, cutting their conversation short, "Team Electric-Flash and Lightning Storm! It's your pal, Nash! Let me out!"

"Guys, are we sure that's Nash?" Caitlin looks between the others.

"Or Thawne playing possum?" Cisco suggest.

"Let's go and find out." Ethan stands from his seat.

-

The team heads down to the pipeline to check on who claims to be Nash Wells. They place a tech on him to monitor his brainwaves, all of them staring at him.

"So this Thawne― got the red eyes and vibrates, but he's also a Wells?" Nash said.

"Confusing, I know." Y/N nods, crossing her arms and looking at him with an arched brow, "How did you-?"
