Barry was working in his lab when he heard a familiar gust of wind and grinned when he turned to see Kara standing outside his lab, with J'onn in tow.
"Kara." Barry said with a smile as he hugged her.
"Hey Barry. It's so good to see you." Kara said as she hugged him back.
"You too. And you are?" Barry asked J'onn.
"The same J'onn J'onzz you knew before Barry." J'onn said.
"Wait what?" Barry asked.
"Novu brought J'onn here since his powers can be used to restore people's memories of what happened. We've already restored Alex and Ray's memories." Kara said.
"Wait, Ray's?" Barry asked.
"Yeah, in this universe, Ray and I are dating." Kara said.
"Wow, I guess that makes sense, since you two are literally little Mr. and Ms. Sunshine." Barry said.
"Yeah." Kara said and J'onn chuckled.
"You're not wrong. But anyways, I'm here so I can restore the minds of your teammates." J'onn said.
"Actually, Cisco was brought here to after he started to vibe the old multiverse and Iris is out of town. You can restore Caitlin's memories though. We might be able to use the data we'd get from it to create a way to technologically recreate it." Barry said.
"We were hoping you could, since J'onn's powers aren't strong enough to affect kryptonians, which means we can't restore Clark's memories." Kara said.
"Wait, you can't read kryptonian minds?" Barry asked.
"Something about kryptonian physiology under a yellow sun protects them from most martian mental abilities, however, if the martian is powerful, they might be able to do it for a short time. We learned that from my father." J'onn said.
"Okay then. Well, I'm heading to Star Labs anyways, you guys can come with. I'll let Cisco know." Barry said and the others nodded.
"We can only do this now because Wells is out of town." Barry said as they walked through Star Labs.
"Which Wells is here now?" Kara said, knowing about Team Flash's tendency to go through Wells.
"The one who's actually Eobard Thawne. You have no idea how tempting it is to kill him." Barry said.
"I thought the Flash didn't kill." J'onn said.
"And normally I don't. But Thawne is a special case. Every time I beat him, he always comes back and the last time I faced him, he got my daughter erased from existence. He's left me no other choice, especially since now I've got the upper hand, I know who he is when he's at his weakest point. The next time he and I clash, only one is walking away." Barry said.
"Barry, if you do that then you're just as bad as he is. The Flash isn't a killer." Kara said.
"I don't have a choice Kara. Thawne has left me no choice." Barry said.
"You always have a choice. You can choose to be better. Besides, it sounds like you might be able to apply a different solution to Thawne." Kara said.
"What do you mean?" Barry asked.
"You told me what you did to Zoom." Kara said.
"I already thought of that. Thawne created his own speed force, the negative speed force, that's where he draws his powers from, which means he's no longer governed by the laws of the speed force." Barry said.
"Well, maybe you could use that against him." Kara said.
"What do you mean?" Barry asked.
"You told me that you used the speed force to imprison one of your enemies, why can't you do the same thing with its opposite?" Kara asked.
"That might actually work." Barry said.
"What might work and who are these people?" Caitlin asked as she and Cisco approached them.
"I'll tell you in a minute. J'onn, could you?" Barry asked.
"Yep." J'onn said and before Caitlin could ask what they meant, J'onn placed his hand on her temple and restored her memories and something more.
Suddenly, her eyes flashed silver and her hair turned white for a moment before going back to normal.
"You okay Caitlin?" Cisco asked.
"Yeah sorry, it was just a rush, plus J'onn wasn't just restoring my memories, he was also letting Killer Frost out of her cage and restoring her memories. She wanted to get out of her cage for a minute." Caitlin said.
"Welcome back both of you." Barry said.
"Thanks." Caitlin said with a smile.
"Oh Barry, before I forget, I was wondering if I could get an exclusive with the Flash. I'm trying to launch my own career and media firm with my blog, doing articles on new heroes. I've already posted one for Supergirl, I was hoping the Flash would be next." Kara asked.
"Yeah sure. Though Iris will probably be pissed when we restore her memories." Barry said.
"I'll hire her as a contributor, since I can't cover every hero in every city." Kara said.
"How can you afford that?" Barry asked and J'onn chuckled.
"Ray is still the CEO of Palmer tech in this reality, so he's helping her out on that front." J'onn said.
"Wait, what?" Cisco asked.
"Ray and I are dating in this reality." Kara said.
"Seriously. Damn, you go girl." Caitlin said and Kara chuckled.
"We'll talk. But anyways, Cisco, do you think you replicate J'onn's powers with tech?" Kara asked.
"Probably. Let's go." Cisco said, pointing to his workshop and J'onn followed him.
"Welcome back Caitlin." Barry said.
"So, who else is awake?" Caitlin asked.
"Us, Alex, Ray, Oliver, Kate and Sara. Barry, Oliver, Kate, Sara and I were brought here because we're paragons, Cisco because his powers were causing him to vibe the old multiverse and J'onn because his mental powers can be used to wake people up." Kara said.
"Okay then." Caitlin said.
"Why don't we go do that interview." Barry said.
"Where's Iris?" Kara asked.
"In freeland with Joe. Meeting her birth mother for the first time." Barry said.
"Isn't that where Black Lightning said he was from?" Caitlin asked.
"Yep. That's why Wells went, to investigate the claims of Black Lightning in this universe." Barry said.
"Okay then." Kara said.
"I hope that J'onn and Cisco can rig something up, since we still need to stop by Star City." Kara said.
"Actually, we can take care of that." Cisco said as he and J'onn rejoined them.
"You guys are done already?" Barry asked.
"It turns out that J'onn's powers work a lot like my vibing does. Using the data I gathered, I should be able to come up with a modified version of the vibe tech to restore people's memories within a few days." Cisco said.
"Well, we'll need one for this team, Team Arrow and the Legends." Barry said.
"I'll get to work on that." Cisco said as he walked away.
"And we should be on our way." J'onn said to Kara, who nodded.
"I'm gonna stop in Gotham on my way back, see if Kate would be up for an exclusive." Kara said and Barry laughed.
"Good luck, she's like a woman version of Oliver." Barry said.
"Speaking of Oliver, Barry, when you see him, ask him what he meant when he said he gave it all up for the two of us." Kara said.
"I will." Barry agreed as he watched Kara and J'onn walk out of the lab.
