"Orlin Dwyer"

"Near as we can tell, he grew up in the Midwest. In and out of juvie, pretty much fell off the map, and then popped up in Central City a few years ago"

"Part time employee of Szrek Chemicals for the last two years"

"Foreman says he keeps to himself, pretty much a loner, gave a fake address"

"Did take custody of his niece"

"Grace Gibbons. After her parents were unfortunately murdered by a metahuman, now--"

"So now we know why Dwyer hates metas. Once he got his powers, he started targeting them"

"Powers he got the night of the Enlightenment, as we all know, and he was struck by a shard from the STAR labs satellite explosion"

"Which was also the same night that Grace went into a coma"

"Where Dwyer visits her every day, every night, for the last three weeks", Ralph and Sherloque explained to us. They've been following Dwyer to see if they could find us some information and it looked like they did very well. Barry looked at them, "So he's there now", he guessed. Both men nodded, "Yeah", Ralph said while Sherloque said, "Oui". Barry shrugged, "Then lets go get him", he suggested.

Sherloque laughed, "Let's go get him. How are you going to do that? Look, as always, I respect your spirit, Barry Allen, but as long as Cicada has his dagger to dampen your powers, there's no stopping him", he told him. I looked at them, "So let's destroy his dagger", I said. Ralph looked at us confused, "How are we going to do that, unless we have some kind of power-dampening dagger power dampener hidden away in storage", he said. Cisco shook his head, "We don't, but if we did we'd come up with a much better way of saying that", he corrected.

Barry shrugged, "Yeah, just like dagger-dampener", he suggested. Cisco nodded, "Wait, yeah, that's actually--that's decent, 'cause, you know, you're running into", he started as the guys all started talking over each other about what to name this miracle device that doesn't even exist yet. "Guys", Nora spoke up from the corner where she was silently looking at her journal the whole time, "What if we could make one?", she suggested. Barry didn't know what she was talking about, "Make one what?", he asked.

She looked at us, "What if we could make a weapon more powerful than his weapon? Cicada can control his dagger, so what we would need would be something more powerful than his connection to it", she said. I think that I was starting to understand what she meant, "Like some kind of supercharged magnet?", I asked. She nodded, "Excatly", she confirmed. Cisco shook his head, "I don't know if we have anything strong enough for that. We made Sally out of a micro-composite alloy. As far as satellite's go, she's--she was heavy duty", he told her. Caitlyn nodded, "And even if we could get out hands on the dagger, we'd still have to figure out how to take the dark matter out to negate it's powers", she said.

"Well, exactly right", Sherloque said before looking at Nora, "What you're suggesting is we find an alloy--no, no, indestructible alloy that has super-magnetic properties but also has the ability to negate dark matter. I mean, where are we going to find such a thing?", he asked. Nora stood up and walked over to us, "The past", she said. Barry and I looked at her surprised, "The past?", he asked. She nodded, "You've already come across everything that we need, right? A strong alloy with magnetic properties", she started. Cisco knew what she was talking about, "Savitar's suit", he realized.
