"Where are we with tracking down Edwin Gauss and Janet Petty?" Barry asked as he and Iris walked into the Cortex after another failed attempt to train Ralph.

Caitlin and Peter's head popped up, eyes wide. "No-no," she stuttered, making frantic cutting motions across her neck.

"He's-" Peter tries warning him.

"What?" Barry asked, confused, eyes going to Cisco who was crouched behind his desk, pointing urgently across the room.

"He's still-"

"What?" Barry repeated, turning in confusion to Harry.

Harry was standing with the Thinking Cap on his head, but he roughly ripped it off.

"Working on it," Caitlin finished with a sigh.

"I can't work with all this noise!" Harry yelled, sitting down in his chair. It made a very rude noise and Ralph snickered.

"That is disgusting, Harry, really?" Ralph asks.

Harry reached under him and pulled out a whoopie cushion.

"Really?" Harry grit out, chucking it at him.

Ralph caught it. "That was expensive," he grumbled.

"Harry, look," Cisco spoke up, trying to change the subject. "Every time you try to locate these guys it's the same thing. I'm telling you. Just crack that thing open; it's probably broken."

"It's not broken!" Harry argued. "It's just finding these two is complicated."

Iris frowned. "Why is that?"

"Because," Harry cried, pointing at the first man. "This dude, Edwin Gauss, flat out disappeared the day Allen came out of the Speed Force. No credit charges, no bank withdrawals, no social media posts. Nothing! Gone."

"What about Janet Petty?" Barry wonders.

"Just as tricky." Peter answered. "We asked Joe to pull her file from CCPD. Her first known record wasn't until shew as 13, so sort of a nomad. Last known address: Iron Heights."

"What's she in for?" Iris asked.

"Trifecta. Breaking and entering, trespassing, and burglary." Caitlin answers.

"But the real question is where is she now, and what are her powers," Harry said.

Caitlin pulled up her social media pages and Cisco leaned forward curiously. "Is that really her handle? Null?"

"Okay, well, DeVoe needs both of these people for whatever he has planned," Barry spoke up. "So we have to figure out where they are."

"I will, Allen," Harry said, putting the Thinking Cap back on this head. "If I can get a little peace, a little quiet, and NO INTERRUPTIONS!"

A second later, a breach opened and none other than Breacher, Gypsy's father, came flying through it. He landed on his stomach and quickly hopped to his feet, growling.

"Great," Harry muttered, throwing up his hands.

Immediately, Breacher had located Cisco and shoved him up against the wall, a hand at his throat. "I need your help!" he growled.

"I'm getting a little bit of a mixed message here." Cisco croaked.

Ten minutes later, Cisco, Peter and Caitlin had been debriefed on Breacher's story.

It seemed that he had been going at it as usual, fighting bad guys with his powers, when they just stopped working. Cynthia, Gypsy's real name, had told him to come to their tech whiz for help. So here he was, asking Caitlin and Cisco for their assistance in getting his powers back.

Not having much else to do, Caitlin agreed once Cisco did, and they doubled down to work as Peter went to help Barry.

-

It seemed that they had found Janet. And it turned out that she had the power to completely mess with gravity, an event that ended with Barry floating around the Cortex, completely weightless.

They needed to call Peter in to actually bring him back so Barry was being healed by a web.

"You okay, man?" Peter asked, a bit concerned, as he's holding the web.

Barry was all the way up to the ceiling, holding on to one of the metal poles that wrapped around the top of the Cortex. "I just wanna get down from here as soon as possible," he replied miserably.

"You could try to burp yourself down, like Charlie Bucket." Ralph suggested.

"Ralph," Barry grit out.

"Gotta admit, that was funny." Peter admits. "Anything?" He asked the others.

"Well, as best I can tell, Nulls powers effect the density of his cells," Caitlin told him, walking over to her computer. "It's like you've been filled with helium."

"Terrific." Barry states sarcastically.

"I always knew you were a lightweight." Ralph smirked.

"I swear, Ralph," Barry replied murderously.

"Is there a way to reengage his gravitational-" Cisco started.

"Gravitational force?" Harry finished, plunking on the Thinking Cap even as he continued to watch Barry float along the ceiling. "Huh," he said after a second. "Turns out: not necessary."

"Do not let go," Barry pleaded to Peter.

"Taking Barry's standard mass, the gravitational force gene, and the half-life decadent of Null's dark matter infusion...this event should eventually just...wear off." Harry tells them.

Cisco sighed and shrugged, giving Barry an apologetic look.

"Wear off?" Barry asked desperately.

"Your cells should return to normal right about..." Harry gave Cisco a shove a second before Barry crashed from the ceiling and landed with a crunch on the floor. "Now."

Barry was back on his feet in seconds, staring around him in alarm.

"Two for the landing, but perfect end with the thud noise," Ralph commented.

"Why are you joking right now?" Barry demanded, striding angrily towards him. "I mean seriously- what the heck was that back there; pretending to be Joe."

"I committed to the bit, I couldn't blow my cover." Ralph shrugged.

"Ralph!" Barry yelled. "What if that had happened outside on the street?! I could have floated away into the stratosphere and fallen to my death."

Ralph shrugged again. "I would have figured something out."

Barry let out an exasperated breath. "Out of the twelve bus metas, DeVoe is now in control of seven of them," he grit out. "He gets Null, it'll be eight! If he gets control of her powers, we're talking about your life here."

Ralph's gaze slipped sideways and Barry gave him a prompting look. Ralph grinned.

"Sorry I was just thinking about the end of Lost and pow!" He made a motion like his brain exploding and Barry threw his head back. He was seriously at the end of his rope. "The thing with Purgatory, what did Kate really see in Jack-"

"Ralph," Barry cut him off. "I'm sorry, but I'm benching you."

Ralph's face fell. "Why?"

"Because you're constantly in the middle of a comedy routine instead of doing what you should," Barry cried.

"Spider-Man does the same." Ralph states looking to Peter who doesn't want to be caught in the middle of this.

"Yeah, and he gets the job done." Barry replies to him. "If you had just tossed me the cuffs we would have Null right now."

"Yeah, or she could have run out the door and I could have stretched the cuffs on her when she didn't see it coming!" Ralph argued. "It's fine."

Barry let out a breath. "Look, I'm doing what's best for you," he said.

"No you're not," Ralph scoffed. "You're doing what's best for you."

And with that, he turned and strode out of the Cortex.

-

Later, Peter was staring in front of the 12 metahuman profile pictures when Caitlin got back from helping Cisco with Breacher.

Things still were not going well. Instead of telling Breacher that he was just getting old, which is why his powers aren't working, Cisco had shoved Caitlin's bottle of Ibuprofen pills at him and did the breach for him when he tried it out.

"Harry's got nothing on Null so far," Caitlin told him as she walked into the room, rubbing her head. "He's gonna try something else. We'll find her."

"I'm worried about our streak. He's pushing Ralph to be him, and I learned from experience, you can't make someone a hero like you." Peter says knowing Miles is becoming a hero, but his own thing. Frankie wants to be a hero, but she's gonna be a different hero than he will be.

The alarms go off and Caitlin sees there's a robbery.

"Want me to get Barry?" Caitlin asks.

"Yeah, I'll meet him there." Peter promises and goes to grab his mask.

"Okay, what's your plan?" Caitlin asks when Harry comes in with the answer.

"The plan," Harry said. "Is Allen vibrate beyond what she can see. Her fingers- you said they glow when she uses her powers. That means Dark Matter concentration which means and activation in her optic nerve. So basically, you vibrate so fast she can't see you coming."

Peter shrugged. "Let's try it out."

And he makes his way out toward his suit and away.

-

Null was walking away from the museum with her bling when Barry and Peter come in and Barry places the powercuffs on her.

"Didn't see that coming." Null says.

"Kind of the point." Peter informs her.

"No, you didn't see that coming." Null explains and points to a car falling from the air. "See, I call it my getaway car. 'Cause either the person in there dies, or you let me get away."

Barry speeds off to save the man and Peter webs her legs together.

"How'd you think that was gonna work?" Peter asks when he returns with the man from the car.

"There's two of us. How'd you think you'd get away?" Barry wonders the same.

-

Now with Null taken out and Cisco finally broke the news to Breacher, he offered Cisco a place on the team on his earth so he can be with Gypsy.

Cisco asked for some time to think it over and wonders if he can actually leave the team and his whole world.
