"Shut it down."

In seconds the lights inside the speed lab comes back on and the hologram of The Thinker shuts down. Ethan and Y/N take off their mask with deep sighs as they look over at Barry and Cisco that were behind the controllers of the hologram. They walk towards them and Ethan leans against the desk as he said, "We'll run it again. We have to get this right."

"Does he know that?" Cisco asked, gesturing over to Ralph a few feet away.

They all look at him to see his head inside his body and Y/N shook her head, walking over to get a bottle of water.

"Ralph?" Barry calls out.

Ralph puts his head back out to look at them, "What?"

"We're going to try this again-" Barry tells him, "But you have to be following Y/N and Ethan's plan. All right?"

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

"Which, bravo by the way." Ralph chuckles softly and blows Cisco a kiss.

"Thank you." Cisco muttered as he closed his eyes.

"Listen, we told you how this was going to work-" Barry said as Ethan nods in agreement, "You'll morph yourself into Y/N. There'll be two of you, and Ethan then jumps in. He will be confused."

"Kind of 'her' actually." Ralph comments.

"Her or him, that doesn't matter to us, Ralph." Ethan argues, sending him a look, "That's not the point of this exercise."

"Yeah, I know-" Ralph said, "I was just doing a little improv."

"This isn't something you should be joking about." Ethan states, getting up from his seat.

"But if you two just let it play out, it would have worked." Ralph says, looking between the siblings, "You guys could have done some improving of your own. Comedy comes in three, man."

"Ralph, we're trying to protect you, don't you understand that?" Y/N tells him and walking over to him, "DeVoe's coming after you, and we need to make sure he doesn't take you."

"I still think it's a pretty good plan. I hide my face. I save my ass." Ralph states.

Y/N shakes her head with a small roll of her eyes as Ethan crosses his arms over his chest. Barry and Cisco look between the two heroes.

"We'd make a fortune-" Ralph tells the group as they were making their way back to the cortex, "And an improved group made of superheroes? We can take it to Washington. We'd be the DC Comics."

Everyone sends him a look as Cisco walks away and said, "No, Ralph."

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