"Ladies and gentlemen, the Central City Speedster 500 is about to begin." Cisco tells them as Wally and Barry are going to race throughout the city. "But first, I've got five-to-one offs Barry takes down Wally."

"Game of speculation? Are we-were betting? Yeah, I'm in." HR states. "On my Earth, financial wagering was banned after an unfortunate incident with Vice President Al Capone."

"Twenty for Barry." Iris says.

"Experience beats speed. Ninety on Barry." Peter says, wanting to get in.

"Eighty for Barry. Mama needs a new confocal microscope." Caitlin says and Peter makes a quick mental note on that.

"All right, HR, you put your life in my hands, so I know you like high stakes. How much you in for?" Cisco asks him.

"Wallace's recent speed tests ensure that he is a lock. Put me done for an Abe Lincoln. A hundred. Whatever a hundred is on this earth." HR tells him.

"All right all bets are in, and may the odds be ever in your favor." Cisco says and then starts the race.

Barry and Wally run through the city at top speed and shows that they're neck and next.

But at the next building, Barry used his phasing ability while Wally had to run around the building and placing Barry in the lead.

"Pay up." Iris says since they've lost.

"Never choose strength over experience." Peter advises them.

"Do you guys take IOUs?" HR asks them.

Later Barry goes to Luigi's and finds a Stewart Holtzman and he was a complete corpse even when he died eight hours ago.

Which they remember that Luigi's was one of the headlines from the future that they apparently couldn't change.

Barry offers to Julian that he can do an autopsy at Star labs to help identify what happened to him, but Peter isn't exactly growing on Julian. It's not just because of the whole Alchemy thing and he tried to kill him.

Okay, that's a little bit of the reason why.

But it's also about how he is around Caitlin, like he's trying to steal her from him. He might come off overprotective, or might controlling to others, but this is the guy who tried killing them and turning Caitlin into Killer Frost. He's keeping an eye on Julian. Also, he's got nothing better to do.

"You think this is what it's like to be a character on CSI?" Cisco asks.

"What do they hope to gain from that examination?" HR asks.

"They're trying to find the exact cause of death. Once we know that, we'll have a better idea of what we're dealing with." Peter explains to him.

"But until then, we need to train." Barry tells Wally. "I'm gonna teach you everything I know, starting with phasing."

"Yes! Finally." Wally says, as he's been waiting to learn how.

"You know what we should do? We should concoct some simulations to help Wallace learn this new skill." HR says.

"Let's go." Cisco says as they all leave and Peter just stays since he has no reason to go anywhere else with Miles at school.

"What's his name?" Caitlin asks Julian referring to the corpse.

"Doesn't really matter much now, does it?" Julian tells her.

"Of course, we should call him by his name. After everything he's been through, he deserves that much respect." Caitlin tells him.

"He is a corpse, thus impervious to such bedside manners."

"Well, thank goodness, 'cause I'd hate to subject him to yours."

"Victim is male, between 30 and 40, with a highly necrotizing epidermis." Julian notes as Caitlin unzips the bag to find nothing inside except for ashes. "The decay continues even after the tissue's dead. This is not a bacteria." He take note of.

"Or any other disease known to medical science." Caitlin states and that settles that this must be a metahuman.

-

The next day a new body turns up and is the exact same as their previous one, Julio Mendez.

Barry even remembers the victims name from his time in Flashpoint and realizes that the victims are all connected.

But watching Wally run into a wall while trying to learn how to phase was hilarious.

"Aside from this body disintegrating before our eyes, I'm not getting anything unusual." Caitlin says.

"There must be a heightened point of necrosis somewhere." Julian tells her.

"Well, what if you were to look somewhere where it could've started?" Peter offers and Caitlin looks and sees he's right.

"The palm of his hand is darker than the rest of his body." Caitlin sees and Julian basically pushes her aside to collect it himself. "You know I thought Barry was overreacting when he complained about sharing a lab with you. But now I understand his frustration."

"Believe me, no one is more frustrated than I." Julian says as he rushes to the computers.

"You do realize that it's possible not to be a jerk all the time, right?" Caitlin says when they start getting a match and sees a element inside the DNA.

"What's that strange strain of DNA?" Caitlin asks

"It's the same one as in all the meta husks created by Alchemy." Julian says, which means that he was the one to create their killer.

-

Later on, Peter met up with Miles at Jitters to talk about what he needs to work on and how his powers are working.

"I mean, I'm able to actually turn invisible so much easier now. And it's wicked awesome. And it makes getting away from my parents and school easier to get out and fight crime." Miles tells him.

"Well, it seems like you've got that covered. Maybe we should see if you have anything else. Like, you already have camouflage, who knows what else you can do." Peter theorized since Miles is more powerful just from one power. What if he has more powers?

Except while they were talking, their senses go off and they look at the door.

"Punisher!" The man yells and looks directly at Peter.

Peter is confused when he gets a text and looks and sees it's form Barry who's above on the balcony.

That's our meta. Clive Yorkin.-BA.

"Long time, no see." Clive tells Peter.

"Am I suppose to know you?" Peter asks.

"You don't remember me? You and your riffle had a fun time ruining my life. I'm not gonna let you do that this time." Clive informs him and now Peter is seriously confused.

"I'm sorry, I think you have the wrong guy. I don't own a gun." Peter says when he looks and sees Miles has disappeared, literally.

"No, no. You're the Punisher I remember. Look a lot more hopeful and happy, though. But I can change that." Clive promises and touches a table, causing it to rot and turn to ash.

Joe pulls out his gun. "Everyone out!" He tells everyone and they all run out the back way.

"Yes, everyone run. I only want him." Clive says as Peter isn't running. "You can't stand there forever."

"One more step, I'll shoot." Joe warns him and Clive doesn't listen.

Joe starts shooting him and all the bullets turn to ash before they could touch him.

Suddenly, Miles comes in and he's wearing his suit.

"Yo, you know these places have more expensive furniture than it's worth, right?" Miles asks before sending a web right at Clive and it actually attaches to him.

"What?" Clive asks, never having a substance that could actually stop him.

Miles then uses the opportunity to spin him away from Peter and through the doors.

Barry and the others run down to catch him only to see he's escaped.

-

"This guys got the touch of death." Cisco says looking at the photo of Clive back at the labs.

"It's not just people, it's anything that he touches it'll turn to ash." Barry says.

"But what about Spider-Man's webbing? That was able to stop him." Wally says and they turn to Peter for answers.

"Miles is using my webbing formula so there must be something inside of it that actually stops it from deteriorating. I designed it to not deteriorate, but over time it does. Like an actual spider web. Maybe I made it better than I could've imagined." Peter explains to them since even he doesn't know how that works. "But that guy called me Punisher. Who is this guy?" He asks Barry.

"He...was who you were in Flashpoint. A mercenary who killed to keep the people safe." Barry tells him. "He lost everything that he was willing to do anything in order to stop that from happening again."

"Great. So someone who I am not is coming back to haunt me. Wonder what he did." Peter says, but a name like Punisher should really give that away.

"Peter, I think until we can stop him, you should stay here." Barry states to Peter.

"Spider-Man doesn't hide. Look, we see that my webbing can keep him back and I am never without my web shooters, I have them disguised as watches, bracelets, anything. I'll handle myself." Peter promises before leaving to train with Miles.

-

Peter was later at home after a long day of training and Jessica called to let him know eveyething was fine with Frankie. He even spent some time to look over the adoptive agencies to have it so Frankie can stay with him.

He started getting dinner ready for Caitlin, when his senses go off and his door disintegrated.

"We finally meet face to face, Peter Parker." Clive says as Peter was able to reach his phone and send out an alert.

Peter then gets his web shooters out, ready to hold this guy back, even if it reveals who he is.

"Listen, I don't know what I did to you in a previous life, but you don't have to do this." Peter tells him.

"Sorry, but there's nothing you can do to make up for what you did." Clive says and was about to keep walking when Peter webs his hand to the table.

"Can't go through webbing." Peter tells him.

"Webbing? No. A table? Yes." Clive says and disintegrated his table he was webbed to and keeps approaching Peter.

That's when Wally comes in and sees them.

"Too late, Kid Flash." Clive says as he goes to touch Peter and he quickly dodges the touch and punches him, but upon impact, his hand starts deteriorating.

"Me or him." Clive says and leaves and Wally rushes to Peter,

-

Wally then rushes Peter to Star labs to see what they can do to save him.

"His powers are healing the deterioration, slowing it down, but they're not going to be able to stop it all together." Julian tells them.

"There has to be something we can do." Barry says as he's pacing to how he wasn't able to help his friend.

"It's not a bacterial, even if it was, Peter's body burns through antibiotics too fast." Caitlin explains and doesn't know what it's gonna take in order to save him, but is willing to do anything.

"Okay, what do you do when a banana ripens too quickly? Put it in the freezer." Cisco tells them and look to Caitlin.

Literally, she's willing to do anything else.

"That's brilliant. Caitlin, you can freeze his arm. It'll stop the decay and help us find a cure, or his powers work their magic." Julian says.

"No, I can't even if I wanted to. We're not talking about a cold blast. This is a specific and continuous cold stream." Caitlin tells them.

"Too high a temperature and the decay spreads, too low and frostbite will destroy his nerve endings." May explains to them.

"And that long using my powers, I could loose control." Caitlin tells Peter.

"Cait...this is your choice. But I know how strong you are...you're one of the strongest people I know. You had almost no...control and-couldn't kill me before, remember? And I'll be here for you." Peter promises while taking her hand with his good hand.

Caitlin watches and sees his body is fighting the infection, but not for long. She quickly removes the necklace and starts using her powers and it seems to have worked as the deterioration is stopping.

"You...Okay?" Peter asks Caitlin, fighting through the pain of the cold.

"So far, so good." Caitlin says and is trying to stay strong for him.

-

The team have worked on a way to find out who Clive is after by using Cisco to vibe Flashpoint to find out who he's going after.

What they do vibe, first they see the victims Clive has already killed and one more person, a officer Stone.

The next thing that happens is the vibe changes to where it seems Clive has escaped from police custody and is in the middle of a fight with Punisher.

"Oh, Peter's rockin' the dark look." Cisco comments on Peter's suit design in this reality as he seems to be able to hold his own against Clive as his suit is covering his entire body, all except his face.

The fight goes on for some time when Peter pulls out a ice pick and stabs Clive in the side.

"Please, don't do this. I surrender." Clive begs to Punisher.

"Sorry...but you had your chance." Punisher says before shooting Clive and Cisco exits the vibe.

"So that's why he wanted Peter dead." Cisco realizes. "Stone, that's the other cop that arrested Clive before Punisher killed him." He tells them.

"Laura Stone. She's a PI." Joe tells them.

"And that means she's the only one that Clive hasn't gone after yet." HR sees.

"I'm on it. You guys stay here and try to find out how to catch someone we can't touch." Joe tells them.

-

The team goes to the cortex to see what they can do and Julian is doing what he can to save Peter.

Barry was able to see that his blood is able to be used to stop Clive since his powers work like how Barry's powers heal and they could use that to stop him.

But they start hearing the monitors are going off and Cisco and Barry look to see the decay is spreading.

"What's going on?" Barry asks and he looks to Caitlin who's eyes go as white as ice.

"I'm loosing control." Caitlin tells him.

"Caitlin, it's spreading. We need you, Peter needs your help." Barry tells her.

"Just a little bit longer, and he dies. How's that for changing the future?" Caitlin asks in Frost's voice.

"Caitlin...look at me." Peter asks and Caitlin looks down to him. "You're not loosing control...You're afraid of losing control, which is causing you to lose control."

"And what makes you think I won't leave you here to die?" Frost asks Peter.

"Because you wouldn't let me die when you had the chance before. I know you're...scared of loosing this fight inside of you, Caitlin, but...you're strong. You are going to do what's right because that's...that's who you are. You are the woman I know who can fight and keep going. I know...I can always rely on you." Peter says as he fights through the pain to tell her.

Caitlin starts to regain control as Peter's right, after everything she's been through she hasn't broken yet because she had Peter. She's stronger than Killer Frost.

She starts using her powers again to keep Peter alive when Joe's alert goes off.

-

They speed to the train and see the bridge is destroyed and is covering the tracks.

Barry gets Ann idea of phasing the train through the rubble and hopes that it works.

He speeds into the train and starts phasing as fast as he can and starts phasing everyone on board and passes through the rubble easily as the train brakes.

Wally looks and sees Clive is here.

"You know what they say, Kid Flash. The first you don't succeed, try, try again." Clive says.

"You have to stop him. I don't have it in me right now. I need you to get your blood into him. It'll counteract his cells and negate his powers." Barry tells Wally from the train.

"How am I supposed to do that when I can't even touch him?" Wally asks.

"Phase into him." Barry says and Wally cuts his hand and hopes this works. "I believe in you, but he you need to believe in yourself."

Wally runs and was able to finally phase into him and left his blood inside of him.

Clive tries using his powers and they're not working.

"What did you do?" Clive asks.

"I won." Wally breaks to him.

-

Peter starts waking up and hears the heart rate monitor and turns to see Caitlin.

"Hey, beautiful." Peter greets her and leans close to her.

"Hey, handsome." Caitlin says and goes in and pecks his lips.

"Did we stop him?" Peter asks.

"Wally was able to phase his blood into Clive and neutralized his powers, so he won't be harming anyone again." Caitlin promises.

"And...my arm?" Peter asks as he looks and sees his arm is still there and it's perfectly normal.

"Once his blood was stabilized, we made an antidote that allowed us to cure it and your powers made it like it never happened." Caitlin tells him.

"You continue to amaze me, dr. Snow." Peter states.

"Well, I have someone who is able to help keep me strong." Caitlin replies to him.

"No. I only told you what you should already know. It was a big risk using your powers, but I knew you would never hurt me." Peter corrects her.

"You're always able to bring the best out of me, Peter." Caitlin says and leans in to kiss him again.

"You do the exact same for me, Cait." Peter says before he kisses her. "And I promise you, I will do whatever it's going to take in order to save you from becoming Killer Frost."

-

Wally was in the basement practicing phasing when a breach opens.

Jesse comes in carrying Frost who's in Jesse's hands and her head looks like it's bleeding.

"Jesse? Frost? What are you two doing here? What happened to her?" Wally asks, confused why they're here and Frost's bruised head.

"Grodd. He's got my dad. And he has him in Gorilla City." Jesse tells him.
