General Lane entered his hotel room in National City when he heard a familiar rush of lightning.

"I knew you'd come here." Lane said as he turned to face the Reverse Flash standing in front of him.

"You failed General." Thawne said as he removed his mask.

"I tried everything I could, but Danvers won't budge. She won't relinquish Luthor into my custody without a signed order from the president herself and I don't think I can forge that." Lane said and Thawne sighed.

"I should've known you alone couldn't get her to let Luthor out. It appears we'll have to find a different way to achieve our goals." Thawne said.

"Do you have a way in mind?" Lane asked.

"Yes, but I must ask, why are you working with Lex Luthor. I thought he was the military's biggest threat." Thawne said.

"He's the only one who both sees these aliens for what they really are and is willing to do what is necessary to stop them." Lane said.

"I see." Thawne said.

"If you don't mind me asking, you know my interest in Luthor, but what's yours?" Lane asked.

"He's an essential part of my plans to end the Flash." Thawne said and Lane nodded.

"You have a plan then?" Lane asked.

"I do, but it will take some time to execute, since you will need to track down someone for me." Thawne said.

"Who?" Lane asked.

"A ghost, by the name of Cooper Seldon. Though he might also respond to the call sign, brother eve." Thawne said.

"I'll see what I can do." Lane agreed.

"Good. Don't disappoint me." Thawne said as he sped out.

Alex knew it had been a good idea to have Wally plant surveillance on General Lane, but she'd never imagined that he'd take his xenophobia to the point of actually working with Lex Luthor and now Eobard Thawne to eliminate alien life all together.

"So, did it work?" Sara asked her fiance.

"Like a charm. We now have proof that Sam Lane is conspiring with two known mass murderers. Forget getting him discredited or discharged. With this we can get him arrested." Alex said.

"And also put his entire unit, including his other daughter Lucy, under investigation." Sara added.

"Yeah. Though honestly, from what Lois has told us, while Lucy is closer with their dad than she is, their relationship is still strained, though more his black and white perspective, she isn't really a xenophobe like her dad, but she still isn't a fan of superheroes." Alex said.

"Why not?" Sara asked.

"I don't know. If Lucy isn't involved in whatever her dad is up to, we can work to change her mind." Alex said and Sara nodded.

Henry was currently sitting in a bar in Central City, not the alien one, since he knew that was where Barry and Kara and their friends liked to hang out after work, they were both unconventional bosses, not that they cared if people knew it, but anyways, since Joe was out with Cecille for the night, Henry figured he might as well spend some time at a bar instead of wallowing back at the house.

Henry had just finished another shot when a woman sat down next to him.

"How many of those have you had?" the woman asked.

"Not sure. Still not drunk yet though." Henry said.

"You sound like someone who's trying to forget something." the woman said.

"Speaking from experience?" Henry scoffed.

"Yes actually. I've lost track of how many times I've wound up at this very bar, trying to forget my problems." the woman said.

"Really, like what?" Henry asked, though maybe it was the alcohol having more of an effect on him than he thought making him ask this.

"You first." the woman said with a smile and Henry sighed.

"Fair enough. I was recently cleared of a crime I didn't commit and it's been harder adjusting to life in the real world than I thought it would be." Henry said.

"How so?" the woman asked.

"My wife's dead, son's all grown up and married, I'm having a hard time getting my medical license back and I feel like I'm intruding on my friend who's put me up. Take your pick." Henry said bitterly.

"Wow, that is rough." the woman said.

"Okay, I told you mine, fair is fair." Henry said.

"My ex-husband had ALS and in order to cure himself of it, he created something far worse and passed it onto our daughter, though she's managed to get a good hold on it and until about a year ago, I was estranged from her." the woman said.

"Wow, sounds like you know what it feels like. I'm Henry." Henry said as he held out his hand to the woman, who smiled at him.

"Call me Carla." Carla Tannhauser said as they shook hands.
