Barry, carrying Caitlin, and Y/N ran as fast as they could, trying to outrun the blast Stein had created. But the smoke caught up to them and launched them into the air. Barry held Caitlin tightly as they hit the ground. Y/n groaned as he rolled over, looking to the sky. "Are we alive?" Y/N asked.

"I think so." Barry said. Y/N nodded, as Wells spoke in the comms.

"Barry? Y/N?" Wells called out. "Boy's, what happened out there?"

"Are you guys okay?" Cisco asked.

"Are you okay?" Barry quickly asked Caitlin, who nodded.

"I think so." Caitlin answered.

"I think so." Barry said into his comm.

"Oh, God. The nuclear explosion." Caitlin realized. "There's no telling how much radiation we were exposed to."

"Wait... wait, wait, wait, wait, this can't be." Cisco read the radiation levels of the suit. "The Geiger counter in the suit... it's reading less than one millirad."

"But that's normal." Y/N said.

"There's no radiation." Wells said. Y/N looked at Barry and Caitlin with hope in his eyes.

"Let's go." Barry said, picking up Caitlin and speeding off, Y/N right next to him. They stopped at the explosion site but couldn't see anyone.

"Did it work? Did you separate them?" Cisco asked.

"I don't know." Barry said, putting Caitlin down. Caitlin walked down to the explosion site and found "Stein".

"Ronnie?" Caitlin asked, moving next to the body, who groaned, but looked up into her eyes. "Tell me your name." Caitlin said and he smiled.

"Ronnie Raymond." He spoke. "Cait. It's me." He and Caitlin hugged. Y/N smiled, before looking at Barry, who was surprisingly also smiling. Ronnie pulled away and got up, before looking at Barry. "So, you're the new boyfriend?" Barry waved. "You picked a good one, Cait."

"Uh, pardon me." Another voice called out, and Barry and Y/N turned to see Professor Stein in his own body. "Obviously, I need a change of clothes."

"Nice to see you in the flesh again, Professor Stein." Barry said, grinning.

"And it's a pleasure meeting you for the first time officially, Sir." Y/N greeted, before turning on his comm. "We're coming home. All of us."

The five exited the elevator and were greeted by Cisco who was grinning. "Ronnie Raymond." Cisco greeted.

"Cisco." Ronnie smirked, before the two embraced tightly.

"I missed you so much, man." Cisco stated, before pulling away. "I shouldn't have locked you in there."

"Hey... don't." Ronnie ordered.

"Welcome back, Mr. Raymond." Wells greeted the engineer as he wheeled up.

"Dr. Wells." Ronnie spoke to the scientist. "Caitlin told me what happened to you. I'm so sorry."

"I'm responsible for putting myself in this chair. You are responsible for my still being alive... thank you." Wells thanked.

"You said you'd bring him back, and you did." Caitlin reminded. "Thank you."

"You're welcome." Wells nodded.
