𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐄𝐋𝐄𝐕𝐀𝐓𝐎𝐑 𝐃𝐎𝐎𝐑𝐒 opened to reveal Ronnie, Caitlin, Barry, and, now in his normal form, Martin Stein.

"Ronnie!" Sophia's face broke out into a grin as she embraced Ronnie, who had, luckily, been given a fresh sweater, as she murmured, "I've missed you."

"I've missed you too," Ronnie chuckled, patting her back. "Cait told me you're a supergenius now."

"I wouldn't say supergenius," Sophia laughed.

"Uh, an IQ of seven billion and thirty-two counts as supergenius," Cisco butted in, a grin on his face as he took his turn in hugging Ronnie.

Sophia stepped over to Barry, whose suit was covered in ashes. She brushed some of it off of his shoulder, giving him a small smile as she gently asked, "You okay, Cran-Barry?"

"Never been better," he reassured her with a smile.

She scrunched her nose. "I'm sure you've been better."

"Welcome back, Mr. Raymond," Dr. Wells greeted as he rolled up.

"Dr. Wells," Ronnie said as he stepped towards him and shook his hand. "Caitlin told me what happened to you. I'm so sorry."

"I'm responsible for putting myself in this chair," Dr. Wells said dismissively. "You are responsible for my still being alive. Thank you."

"You said you'd bring him back and you did," Caitlin said gratefully as she put a hand on Ronnie's back. "Thank you."

Dr. Wells smiled as he gave her a small nod. "You're welcome."

"Uh, excuse me," cut in Professor Stein. "Are we all planning to sing Kumbaya next?"

Dr. Wells' sincere smile turned into an amused one as he turned to the man and said, "Professor Stein, I presume."

"Harrison Wells." Professor Stein gave a nod. He gestured down to his burnt and torn clothes as he asked, "Do you have somewhere I can freshen up and get a change of clothes?"

"Come on," Cisco insisted as he tugged on Sophia's sleeve, "let's go check on Ronnie."

With a nod, she followed him into the Med Lab, where Caitlin was supposed to be checking Ronnie's temperature in—only to find the two of them in the middle of kissing.

"Yup," Cisco said loudly, causing the two of them to break apart and chuckle. "Just when I forgot how awkward it was to walk in on you two."

Caitlin grinned. "Well, you can get used to it again."

"So, I did a full medical work-up on the professor," Dr. Wells announced as he entered, Professor Stein trailing behind him, "it turns out that now that he and Ronnie are separated, they no longer possess the ability to harness nuclear energy."

Caitlin examined the tablet that Dr. Wells had given her and looked up to the professor. "Professor Stein, you seem to be running a little hot as well. Same as Ronnie—a hundred point six."

"Hardly a sweat, Dr. Snow," he reassured her with a smile. "And hopefully, now the only thing Ronald and I have in common—"

"It's Ronnie," Ronnie corrected him.

Professor Stein gave a curt nod. "Mm."

"Hey," Cisco said with a grin as he looked at Ronnie. "You gonna miss being able to fly?"

"Yeah, if I was the one holding the controller," Ronnie said accusingly as he turned his gaze back to Professor Stein.

The professor raised his eyebrows and took a step forward. "Meaning?"
