The next day, everyone comes back to Star labs, minus Miles and Cisco.

"Where's Ramon and Morales?" Harry wonders.

"Cisco's laying low at his parents house while he heals up." Barry explains.

"Miles is gonna be laying low because his dad is in fact suspicious about how he got the cut caused by Cicada's dagger." Peter tells him.

"Right. Okay, team," Harry says and goes to a board with a marker, "we need to catch the homicidal maniac, Cicada. So what do we know so far?" He wonders.

"He's killed two people and almost a third." Iris says.

"Not just people." Harry reminds her. "Metahumans." He says as he writes it on the board.

"Joe said he got the feeling that Cicada's a dad." Barry adds and Harry writes that.

"His dagger dampens powers." Nora says.

"Not quite, it seems to be only metahumans powers." Harry corrects her. "And not only that, but he can control this weapon of his."

"Maybe they acquired their powers at the same time." Caitlin says.

"And I'm pretty sure that he has some sort of problem with his lungs, he was wheezing during the fight." Peter reminds them.

"We sure that wasn't because you were pummeling him?" Ralph asks.

"No, I've been doing this long enough to know the difference between damaged and beaten. He was wheezing at the beginning, but by the end he was gasping, trying to get air." Peter replies.

Harry writes it down along with everything. "Then there's another question that needs answering, how did his lungs get damaged?" He asks.

"Maybe when his lungs were damaged, that's how he got his powers." Frankie offers.

"I can check the hospital, see if I can find anything on anyone who has lung damage during the time of the accelerator explosion." May offers.

"Check for anything recent while you're at it." Peter asks of her. "I don't think this guy's has had his powers very long." He explains.

"I'm on it." May says as everyone leaves to do their thing.

Barry, Iris and Cecile went to the CCPD softball game when in the middle of it, Cecile reads someone's mind.

"Somethings not right." Cecile says as someone walks into the field carrying a bag.

"Is that Jonsey?" Barry wonders.

"Hey, somebody stop him!" Cecile yells.

"Everyone move!" Barry yells when suddenly Frankie comes flying in using her powers and throws the bag into the air and it explodes.

Everyone tackles the bomber and Frankie shakes her head before looking around in confusion. She looks down at herself and sees she's dressed as Metalla.

"What...what happened?" Frankie asks as Barry runs up to her.

"You saved everyone." Barry says and Frankie is seriously confused.

Peter and Caitlin met up with them and was wondering where she ran off to.

"Bomb squad finished their sweep. Said it's all clear." Barry tells them.

"Frankie, how did you know what was going on?" Caitlin wonders since they were getting lunch when she vanished.

"I'm...not entirely sure." Frankie admits. "I remember leaving Star labs, and the next thing I know I was out in the field."

"And you don't remember anything else?" Peter asks when Nora's phone goes off.

"What's that?" Iris asks.

"A notification from Spyn Zone." Nora explains.

"Spyn What?" Peter asks.

"It's a news notification app that tells you the second anything happens in the city." Frankie tells him.

Peter looks to Caitlin. "Between her and Miles, I'm starting to feel outmoded."

Caitlin laughs and pecks his cheek. "You're still in your prime in my book."

Nora opens the notification and sees that it's a new article titled Metalla saved crowd from Bomb.

"Already? That was fast." Iris comments when Singh calls Barry in for the CSI part of the bombing.

-

Harry and Fox take their car and drive up to the docks where Cicada killed Block.

"So what are we doing here, Lucius?" Harry asks as they both exit the car and Harry is carrying a coffe to-go cup.

"Well, everyone is looking into everything, Ralph is looking into the injury with May, Peter and Caitlin are looking over when he gained his powers, Miles and Cisco are on super-sabbatical, I thought we could focus on the lungs and mask like Peter mentioned."

"You think his lungs are damaged as well?" Harry guesses.

"You think he's allergic to something in the air?" Fox asks back. "That mask is worn for a reason, not just identification. The hood covers most of his face and his eyes aren't much help because of the lighting. His voice is disfigured but Oliver Queen does the exact same thing with a small device and doesn't need a mask."

"And Parker did mention the more he fought or was attacked, the heavier the breathing." Harry agrees while taking a sip of his coffee while Fox looks over the ground.

"Yes, and it's not the run of the mill version of breathing, so if one of those breaths was strong enough...we might find something." Fox explains.

"Allen did mention he found traces of fluoropolymer."

"Which are prone to flaking." Fox says as he finds something that might help. Specks, but enough to prove what he was thinking. "Industrial respirators use a protective courting around the nose that are made from it."

"And when exposed to another compound, fluoropolymers emit a distinct oder." Harry adds and Fox smells it. "Burned onions."

"We find where Cicada got his mask, we could learn more abwho might be under the mask." Fox says as he stands back up.

"How'd you know how to do this?" Harry wonders.

"My old job in Gotham might've also been added onto tracking down deranged maniacs. Came with helping Batman." Fox explains.

-

That night, Barry and Nora talked to Jonsey and he has no idea what happened, just like Frankie. That's how they were told about a fire at CCPN and the speedsters met up with the Spider-Man and Metalla.

"Buildings already been evacuated." Peter filled them in. "Fire trucks are across town, we can handle this."

"Yeah, I can use metal on the water towers in the area." Frankie says and Peter agrees as she starts to levitate herself to find them.

"Me and Nora will go in and put the fire out from the ground up." Barry tells him.

"Okay, I'll use the foaming from my shooters to stop the fire from spreading." Peter says and swings off.

As soon as Barry was filling Nora in on what they're gonna do he just took of running.

"Guys, where's he going?" Peter asks the crew.

"His suit's GPS has him west, way west." Caitlin answers and that confused everyone.

"Guys, what do I do?" Nora asks.

Peter swings around the building while shooting foam to keep the fire contained as Frankie drops water from the towers onto the buildings.

"Nora, you're going to need to do this yourself." Peter breaks to her. "Just get to the source of the fire and put it out from there." He says and she does that. "Spin your arms in tight rotations. Both of them in opposite directions of each other. Trust me, I've learned that from experience."

Nora does as he says and it seems to be working and the fire is extinguished.

Nora then speeds out as Peter and Frankie meet up with her as everyone cheers.

"So where'd Flash go?" Frankie finally asks.

Barry, for some reason, found himself all the way out in Las Vegas.

-

"So there was some weird activity with your scan, but everything looks fine." Caitlin says looking over everything back from Barry.

"What's the last thing you remember?" Iris asks.

"Standing outside with Nora, next thing I know I'm in Vegas." Barry answers.

"Same as Frankie and Officer Jones." Peter says.

"Maybe it was some sort of hypnotic induction?" Caitlin says.

"I don't know. I feel like one one of us would've noticed somebody trying to hypnotize me." Barry says.

"And why would someone force me to come in and save people?" Frankie asks.

"Publicity." Iris answers. "Spencer Young wants to get famous by making others famous."

"Who?" Peter asks.

"Creator of Spyn Zone." Frankie informs him.

"You don't know that." Nora tells her mother.

"She admitted it when we talked." Iris says.

"She admittedly said she was hypnotizing people?" Peter asks.

"No, but she did admit to using powered people to get viewers." Iris explains and Peter can see that.

"Why would you go talk to her?" Nora wonders as Iris shows the newest update from Spyn Zone is about Frankie, Peter, and Nora saving the building.

"Wait, look at the time stamp on the post." Barry says and they all look at it.

"7:52." Peter reads.

"Nora and I were still with Jonsey, and the fire at CCPN hadn't even been reported yet." Barry says.

"I guess you'll always be the first one to the scoop if you're the one scooping it." Ralph jokes.

"So she's some sort of early edition meta who creates stories?" Caitlin asks.

"Fake news taken to a whole new level." Iris says.

"Maybe she's some kind of meta psychic who predicts the news." Barry offers.

"But that doesn't explain why you ran all the way to the middle of the desert." Peter reminds him.

"Maybe it's not her, but someone else mind controlling us." Nora offers.

"Caitlin, Peter, think you guys can download the cortical boometrics from Frankie's suit and run it against my scans?" Barry asks them.

"We're on it, bolt." Peter says and they leave.

"We need to figure out if Spencer's responsible for this." Barry tells Nora and Iris.

-

Harry and Fox ran into a wall with the mask onto where they found out that they're used in a lot of facilities and are able to be bought off online.

Harry lended his meta watch to Barry and Iris for them to use to see if Spencer is a metahuman.

Fox decides to look over the list of people that May and Ralph were able to get them, see if any of them could be their Cicada.

Caitlin was in her labs working on the scans as Peter left to get Frankie home for the night, and she found something in them when someone appears behind her and she hears deep breathing.

"Dr. Snow." The voice says and Caitlin shrieks and spins to see it's just Harry wearing a mask like Cicada's.

"Harry, what are you doing?" Caitlin asks him. "Besides threaten to kill me."

Harry takes of the mask off for a minute. "If I wanted to murder anyone, Snow, Ramon would be the first to go." He informs her. "I am trying to prove Parker's theory on Cicada's damaged lungs. I need you to assist me in something."

"What is it?" Caitlin wonders.

"I need you to punch me right around the diaphragm. In the solar plexus, as hard as you can." Harry asks of her.

Caitlin looks at him like he's completely lost it. "Harry, I'm not punching you."

"Well, I can't ask anyone else, Parker and the kids are gone, Ramon is hiding, and the WestAllen family is all over the place at the moment." Harry explains why it has to be her. "On, you just don't have the courage. That's why you needed Frost. Probably couldn't hit me where I need you to."

Caitlin stands up and faces him. "For the record, I know what you just did."

"And?" Harry asks with a brow raised.

"It worked." Caitlin says before punching him and Harry places the mask on as he stumbled backwards. "Are you okay?" She asks him when he breaths through the mask and. "you sound just like..."

"Cicada." Harry confirmed as he removed the mask.

When Iris and Barry returned, they learned Nora finally confessed that Iris, Future Iris, lied to Nora for years and put a power dampening chip inside of her that took away her speed. It wasn't until recently that she learned she had abilities and that's why she doesn't like Iris.

They get an alert about an bombing reported at the central City stadium and the four heroes rush to find nothing.

"Was it a false alarm?" Peter wonders.

-

Caitlin looks over Spyn Zone's notifications and a new one pops up saying that Metalla and Spider-Man are stopping a robbery while XS kills Flash.

As if on command, Peter and Frankie leave the stadium to stop the robbery and the two speedsters start to fight to the death.

"Nora's been hypnotized." Barry says as he dodges one of her attacks. "Nora, you have to snap out of this."

"What I have to do is kill you." Nora says as the two speed around the stadium to fight.

At Central bank, some workers have robbed the place and started to get away when the car starts levitating when they're pulled out of the car and webbed to the wall.

Peter and Frankie finish stopping them when they snap out of it and realize what's happened.

"Great." Peter complains, getting sick of all psychics in the universe. Except J'onn, he gets a pass for saving his life during that whole musical thing. Plus, he's not a part of this universe.

Iris was able to stop Nora from killing Barry and Spencer was on her way out when Peter webbed the phone from her hands and Frankie handcuffed her.

"Don't worry. Your new cell will be much bigger than this one." Peter promises her looking at the phone.

-

They come back to Star labs and were able to clear the victims of Spencer from all charges.

Harry and Fox shared their findings and learned that because of Nora, the satellite hit someone and caused that person to become Cicada.

"DeVoe flooded the satellites with dark matter, maybe that's how he and the dagger acquired their powers." Caitlin says.

"So Cicada and the dagger were made during the Enlightenment?" Iris asks.

"What about you, Fox?" Peter asks.

"Now that we shortened the list to the people who were injured during the enlightenment, but there's still a large list." Fox answers.

"But how does the dagger work?" Iris asks. "Things can't become metas, right?"

Idea and looks at Spencer's phone and removes the case to see it's been flooded with dark matter. "Oh, boy." He says and everyone looks his way. "The satellite didn't create new metas. It created metahuman technology."

"That means anyone could have metahuman powers." Frankie guesses and that opens a whole worse door than just people with powers.

-

Iris went to check on Nora and believes that she was doing right about hiding her powers from her her entire life.

"What?" Nora asks.

"I know that you're upset and angry. And honestly, I...before today, I couldn't even imagine the situation where I would do something like that to you. But after seeing the choice that I just made...I know whatever reason I would have for keeping your powers a secret, it...it must have been a good one, Nora." Iris defends herself.

"No. What happened today...has nothing to do with what happens in the future." Nora informs her mother. "You didn't suppress my abilities my whole life because I was brain washed or attacking people. You did it to control me." She states while starting to tear up. "My whole life I felt like I was different than everyone else, but I didn't know why. Then Tommy showed me what I can do."

"Who's Tommy?" Iris asks, curious to who that is.

"A friend." Nora says while whipping tears away. "He was exactly like me. He had powers at birth, he's around my age, but he was given a choice to be the same as everyone else or to keep his powers. He chose to keep his powers and is a hero. You took that choice away from me that I didn't even know that I had. A choice to be a hero like him or his father, or even like my father."

Barry then walks in and sees Nora crying. "What's going on?" He asks.

"Nothing. We're just talking." Iris says.

"No." Nora says, stopping her from covering it up. "Mom thinks that she had a good reason to suppress my powers in the future, but she doesn't know what that reason is." She informs Barry.

"I'm sure it's a good one." Barry says, siding with Iris. "Look, I don't have to visit the future to know what kind of mother isis is going to be. She cares about family more than anyone I've ever met, Okay? I support her decisions."

Nora can't believe what she's hearing. Her mother took away a choice that was rightfully her own to make, and her father, the man she idolized sides with her.

"Then I guess I need to rethink what the meaning of family is." Nora says before she gets up and starts leaving before turning back to her parents. "Do you know what hurt the most about learning I had powers? Not hearing it from my mom like he did." She states referring to Tommy before speeding off.

-

Peter and Caitlin were getting ready to turn in after the long day when there's a knock on the door and they answer it to see Nora.

"Nora, hey. What's going on?" Caitlin asks her.

"It's kind of a long story," Nora says as she's wiping the tears from her eyes, "but can I stay here?" She asks, coming to the only people who would understand her. Caitlin looks over to Peter to see what he thinks and he's okay with it if she is.

"Yeah, sure." Peter agrees, wondering what happened between her and her parents and Caitlin let's her in and closes the door behind her.

"Are you sure it's not too much trouble?" Nora asks them.

"We've got an extra bedroom for guests, it's fine." Peter promises her. "And maybe you can tell us what happened later."

"Thanks, guys." Nora says and Caitlin leads her to the guest room.
