When Barry returned to Central City, he found Iris waiting for him at their loft.

"Okay, so now are you going to tell me why you had to rush to Star City?" Iris asked him as Barry brought her up to speed.

"So what you're saying is that Kara is getting the scoop of the century and I got completely skipped over." Iris said and Barry rolled his eyes at that, since he should've known that was what Iris would focus on.

"To be fair Iris, Kara is the one in charge of Danvers Daily News, which means that she could've taken over this story from you anyways." Barry said.

"I know, but still." Iris said.

"Anyways, I'm going to go talk to Cecille, see if she can help arrange a transfer for the metas Black Lightning rescued from the ASA facility." Barry said.

"How's Caitlin doing in Star City?" Iris asked.

"She's talking to Jefferson's ex wife about working on a cure for Thea and other metas with her issue." Barry said.

"Remind me again about why we're not bringing Thawne in on that project?" Iris asked, since while Thawne was a bastard, he was smart.

"How exactly would we explain knowing the Green Arrow, Supergirl and Black Lightning? Plus, Caitlin is using research from when they created the metahuman cure and Thawne can't know about that yet." Barry said and Iris nodded.

"Why don't we just use the cure on him? No powers means that if he's erased from the timeline, he stays erased." Iris said.

"Because we can't exactly develop it without Thawne noticing something is up, especially since I'd have to disappear into the speed force for an hour." Barry reminded her.

"Fair point." Iris said.

"Anyways, I'm going to go talk to Cecille. Thank god I asked J'onn to restore her memories." Barry said as he walked out of the apartment.

"Cecille." Barry said as he entered her office and Cecille smiled at him.

"Barry, I was wondering when one of you would finally pay me a visit." Cecille said with a smile as she got up and hugged him.

"I was kind of surprised to learn that you're still the DA, but I'm glad you are." Barry said.

"Really, why's that?" Cecille asked as Barry brought her up to speed.

"So, you want me to basically set up the same thing I did for the metas Cicada was targeting." Cecille said.

"Yeah." Barry confirmed.

"I'll see what I can do, but considering that we also need to keep this secret from this ASA, it might take awhile to get everything worked out. You should talk to Argus or the DEO about helping with the transfer as well." Cecille said and Barry nodded, since that made sense.

"By the way, you should consider becoming a meta defense attorney soon. This city needs that more than it needs the DA." Barry said and Cecille nodded.

"Now, I need to get going." Barry said and Cecille nodded as he sped out of her office.

Cisco smiled, since he'd just finished a prototype memory ring, which had not been easy, especially without Thawne noticing, but now he had and while his simulations showed success, now it was time to test it. And if it worked on his planned test subject, then he knew it would work on anyone.

"Hey Jesse, can I talk to you for a minute?" Cisco asked as he saw her pass his workshop.

"Yeah sure." Jesse said as she entered his lab.

"Okay, now hold still." Cisco said as he took a deep breath and hoped this worked and before Jesse could do anything, Cisco tapped the memory ring against her arm.

Jesse's eyes immediately rolled into her head as she passed out.

Cisco silently prayed that he hadn't killed her as he checked her vitals and was relieved to find that she was just unconscious, her speed healing hadn't even needed to kick in as she woke up.

"What the hell Cisco?" Jesse asked as she got up.

"Sorry Jesse, but I needed to see if my new invention worked and you're the only one here I can test it on." Cisco said as he offered her his hand and helped her up.

"Yeah well, at least now I know how to use my speed again." Jesse said as she was grateful for her speed healing curing her headache.

"So you remember?" Cisco asked.

"Yep. I remember my world being destroyed by a wave of antimatter. My friends, my father." Jesse said.

"But you also remember your life on this earth right?" Cisco asked.

"Yeah. Can't believe that Barry and I are siblings on this earth, but I guess I'll get used to it since he has." Jesse asked.

"Are you okay?" Cisco asked.

"It's going to take me some time to get used to the fact that my last name is Allen and not Wells, but I'll adjust. Especially since now I can be a bit more help in bringing down the man who apparently killed my mother." Jesse said.

"Yeah, I think I'm going to call your brother." Cisco said and to his surprise, Jesse just nodded.

"I see you're adjusting fast." Cisco said.

"Being a speedster helps with that." Jesse said and Cisco nodded as he pulled out his phone and called Barry.
