EXT. IRON HEIGHTS PRISON - DAY

Iris West-Allen is standing in front of the high-security prison, her eyes scanning the building. She takes a deep breath before walking in, her heels clicking on the cold floor.

INT. IRON HEIGHTS VISITATION ROOM - DAY

Iris sits across the table from Emerald, her eyes locked onto his. He looks worn down, his hair a mess, and his clothes worn out.

EMERALD (desperately) Iris, I'm telling you, I didn't kill Sourdough. All I did was throw him away.

IRIS (skeptically) Throw him away? That's what you're sticking with?

EMERALD (nodding) Yes. Please, Iris, you have to believe me. I'm innocent.

Iris studies Emerald's face for a moment before replying.

IRIS (softly) I want to believe you, but it's not up to me. Barry has a new partner working on the case.

Emerald's face falls, disappointment written all over it.

EMERALD (defeated) Who?

Iris hesitates before answering.

IRIS (reluctantly) John Diggle.

Emerald's eyes widen, surprise written all over his face.

EMERALD (shocked) The Green Lantern? What's he doing on this case?

IRIS (sighing) I don't know, but if anyone can get to the bottom of this, it's him.

Emerald looks down, frustration written on his face.

EMERALD (muttering) I just hope he can clear my name.

Iris nods sympathetically before standing up.

IRIS (rising) I have to go, but I'll see what I can do to help.

Emerald nods gratefully as Iris leaves the visitation room, her heels clicking on the floor as the heavy metal door slams shut behind her.

INT. REGULAR STAR LABS - DAY

Diggle and Barry are in the cortex. Barry is listening intently as Diggle explains the situation.

DIGGLE The Green Lantern Corps are essentially space cops. We protect the power of the Green, which is the power of willpower.

BARRY (fascinated) So you have an entire team of Green Lanterns?

DIGGLE (nods) Yes, and we're spread out all over the galaxy. But right now, that's not the issue.

BARRY (concerned) What is the issue then?

DIGGLE (somberly) The green power from the Green Universe is leaking all over the multiverse. It's causing instability and chaos in every world. If we don't stop it soon, everything will be destroyed.

BARRY (determined) How can I help?

DIGGLE We need to find a way to seal the leak. And we need to do it fast.

Barry nods.

BARRY What does this have to do with saving Emerald from prison?

Diggle pauses for a moment, then takes a deep breath.

DIGGLE Because we believe that the source of the leak is in the Green Universe. And we need Emerald's help to get there.

Barry looks surprised.

BARRY What can Emerald do?

DIGGLE We believe he has knowledge of the Green Universe that could be helpful to us.

Barry nods in understanding.

BARRY Okay, I'll talk to the team. We'll figure out a way to break him out.

DIGGLE (nods) Good. We don't have much time.

The scene ends with Barry and Diggle looking at each other with a shared sense of urgency.

INT. CC JITTERS - DAY

Snow-Green and Green Fury are seated at a table, enjoying a bowl of CC Jitters Coffee Soup.

SNOW-GREEN (sipping her soup) So, how do we break Emerald out of Iron Heights?

GREEN FURY (smiling) With a little bit of willpower and a whole lot of green energy.

Snow-Green rolls her eyes, knowing that Green Fury can't resist a green-themed joke.

SNOW-GREEN (skeptical) Okay, but seriously, what's the plan?

GREEN FURY (leaning in) I have a contact inside the prison who can help us. We just need to get a few things in place and then make our move.

Snow-Green nods, impressed with Green Fury's resourcefulness. Suddenly, it dawns on her.

SNOW-GREEN (realizing) Wait a minute. You're Sue Dearbon from the Green Universe, aren't you?

Green Fury freezes for a moment, surprised that Snow-Green has figured it out.

GREEN FURY (sighing) Yeah, I am. I didn't mean to keep it a secret, but I wasn't sure if I could trust you yet.

SNOW-GREEN (nodding) I understand. But we're on the same side now. We need to work together to save the multiverse.

Green Fury nods, grateful that Snow-Green understands. They continue to eat their soup, making plans to break Emerald out of prison.

The scene ends with Snow-Green and Green Fury clinking their coffee mugs together in a toast to their mission.

INT. IRON HEIGHTS PRISON - DAY

Emerald is sitting alone in the prison yard when a group of supervillains approaches him. They start making jokes and laughing, but Emerald remains silent and unresponsive.

SUPERVILLAIN 1 (chuckles) Hey, Sourdough Slayer, how's life treating you in here?

Emerald clenches his fists, and his eyes start to glow green.

SUPERVILLAIN 2 (laughs) Looks like he's about to lose it. Careful, guys, we don't want to end up like old Sourdough.

Emerald takes a deep breath, and the green glow in his eyes fades.

EMERALD (angrily) You think you're funny, don't you?

SUPERVILLAIN 3 (smirks) Oh, we know we're funny. But you? You're just a washed-up villain who couldn't even beat a guy made of bread.

Emerald's fists start to glow green, but he hesitates, trying to control his anger.

SUPERVILLAIN 1 (mockingly) What's the matter, Sourdough? You gonna zap us with your green beans?

Emerald takes another deep breath, trying to calm himself down.

EMERALD (threateningly) You guys better watch your backs. I might be locked up, but I'm not helpless.

The supervillains start to laugh again, and Emerald looks away, defeated.

The scene ends with Emerald sitting alone in the prison yard, looking dejected and powerless.

FADE IN:

EXT. IRON HEIGHTS PRISON - ROOF - DAY

Snow-Green and Green Fury are on the roof of Iron Heights Prison, looking down at the prison yard.

GREEN FURY (whispering) Okay, let's do this. Snow-Green, you ready?

SNOW-GREEN (nodding) Yeah, I'm ready.

Suddenly, Barry and Diggle appear on the roof, surprising them.

BARRY (angrily) What the hell are you guys doing? Breaking into a prison?

DIGGLE (scolding) You're not above the law, you know that.

Snow-Green steps forward, trying to explain.

SNOW-GREEN (defensive) I didn't do it. I'm innocent, and I know Emerald is too. We need to break him out.

Barry interrupts, his voice stern.

BARRY (shaking his head) No, we can't just break the law to free him. We need to find a legal way to do it.

Green Fury scoffs and makes a joke, irritating John.

GREEN FURY (mockingly) Oh, come on, John. Lighten up. You're acting like you're in prison too.

Before anyone can react, Green Fury uses a Green Trap to freeze Barry and Diggle in place.

SNOW-GREEN (shocked) What did you do?!

GREEN FURY (coolly) Just a little trick I learned from a friend. Now let's go get Emerald.

As Snow-Green and Green Fury run towards the prison, the scene ends.

FADE TO BLACK.

INT. STAR LABS - DAY

Iris is talking to Allegra in the main area of Star Labs.

IRIS We need to find a legal way to get Emerald out of prison.

ALLEGRA (sighs) I don't know, Iris. The guy seems pretty guilty to me.

IRIS But he's not, Allegra. We need to help him.

ALLEGRA (smiling) Okay, okay. But how are we going to do that? Are we going to make a Prison Break style plan?

IRIS (laughs) I don't think that's a good idea. We need to find a way to prove his innocence.

ALLEGRA (sighs) I miss Chester. He was always good at finding a way out of tough situations.

IRIS (smiling) I know. But don't worry, Allegra. We'll find him. And we'll find a way to get Emerald out of prison too.

ALLEGRA (smiling) Thanks, Iris. You always know how to make me feel better.

IRIS (grinning) That's because I'm a funny person, Allegra. Speaking of which, how about we go to CC Jitters and grab a cup of coffee?

ALLEGRA (smiling) I'd love that. Let's go.

The two women leave Star Labs and head towards CC Jitters, ready for a caffeine boost and some brainstorming.

FADE TO BLACK.

INT. IRON HEIGHTS PRISON - EMERALD'S CELL - DAY

Snow-Green and Green Fury arrive at Emerald's cell, ready to break him out. However, Emerald protests and insists that he wants to do it legally. He refuses to leave his cell until they find a legal way to free him.

EMERALD (sternly) I appreciate your willingness to help me, but I cannot simply escape from prison. That would only make matters worse.

SNOW-GREEN (trying to persuade him) But, we don't have time for that! The Green power from your universe is causing a multiversal disaster! We need your help to stop it!

GREEN FURY (impatiently) Stop wasting our time, Emerald. We're taking you with us, whether you like it or not.

Emerald refuses to budge, and a brief scuffle breaks out between him and Green Fury. In the end, Green Fury prevails by trapping Emerald in a Green Trap.

GREEN FURY (to Snow-Green) Let's go. We have work to do.

Snow-Green nods, and the two of them start dragging Emerald's body towards the exit.

EMERALD (shouting) This is kidnapping! You can't do this!

But they ignore him and keep going.

FADE TO BLACK.

INT. STAR LABS - CONTINUOUS

Snow-Green and Green Fury enter Star Labs carrying Emerald.

SNOW-GREEN (to Green Fury) What do we do now?

GREEN FURY (smiling) We need to find the evidence to prove Emerald's innocence.

EMERALD (skeptically) And where do we find that evidence?

DIGGLE (O.S.) (surprising them) Right here.

Barry and Diggle enter the room.

BARRY (angrily) What the hell is going on here?

SNOW-GREEN (defensive) We had to break him out. He's innocent.

DIGGLE (to Emerald) We believe you. And we have a way to clear your name.

EMERALD (hopeful) You do?

DIGGLE (nodding) The trash can at CC Jitters.

BARRY (confused) What does that have to do with anything?

DIGGLE (explaining) If we can find the Sourdough loaf that Emerald threw away, we can prove that he didn't kill the Bread Maker.

SNOW-GREEN (realizing) And we need to hurry before it gets thrown out.

GREEN FURY (smiling) Then let's get going.

They all rush out of Star Labs, determined to find the missing evidence and clear Emerald's name.

FADE IN:

INT. REGULAR STAR LABS - DAY

Riddleman enters the room, his words cryptic and puzzling.

RIDDLEMAN: What has six faces but does not wear makeup, has twenty-one eyes but cannot see? You should come and see.

The team looks at each other, confused. Suddenly, Riddleman points to the TV.

RIDDLEMAN: Quickly, come and see, there's a villain on TV!

Everyone rushes over to the TV, and they see a news report about a new villain on the loose.

NEWS REPORTER: The Flash is in hot pursuit of the notorious trash-digging villain, Garbage Gobbler!

Everyone looks alarmed as the news reporter continues to explain how Garbage Gobbler is stealing trash from all over Central City, including the CC Jitters Bakery.

As the team discusses what to do, Riddleman is distracted by Green Fury.

RIDDLEMAN: (whispering to himself) What is as fast as lightning, and as beautiful as the Green Universe Sue Dearbon?

The team decides they need to stop Garbage Gobbler before it's too late.

IRIS: Okay, we need to split up and search for any clues on where Garbage Gobbler might be hiding out.

As they all start to head out, Riddleman subtly tries to follow Green Fury.

RIDDLEMAN: (to himself) What is green, and fiery, and can make a riddle-loving man's heart beat like a drum?

FADE OUT.

FADE IN:

EXT. CENTRAL CITY - DAY

Barry and Iris are riding their scooters to CC Jitters Bakery. The rest of Team Flash, including Allegra, are following close behind.

BARRY (to Iris) Hey, you know what they say, one man's trash is another man's treasure.

IRIS (smiling) Speaking of trash, we need to hurry before the villain gets his hands on CC Jitters Bakery's waste.

ALLEGRA (riding up to them) Hey, should you two have stayed back due to your pregnancy?

BARRY (laughing) Nah, we're good. Just a couple of bread winners.

IRIS (rolling her eyes) Always with the puns, Barry.

They arrive at CC Jitters Bakery and dismount their scooters.

ALLEGRA (to Iris) Are you sure you're up for this?

IRIS (nodding) Yeah, let's do this.

BARRY (smiling) You heard the lady, let's go kick some trash!

Team Flash enters the bakery, ready to stop the trash villain.

FADE OUT.

FADE IN:

INT. CC JITTERS BAKERY - DAY

Snow-Green walks into the bakery, followed by the rest of Team Flash. Riddleman pulls her aside and speaks in riddle-talk.

RIDDLEMAN (whispering) Tell me, fair lass, is Green Fury single?

Snow-Green looks at Riddleman with amusement.

SNOW-GREEN (chuckles) Oh, Riddleman, you never cease to amuse. But to answer your question, I don't know. Why don't you ask her yourself?

Snow-Green pats Riddleman on the back and heads into the bakery. Riddleman watches her leave and then looks determined to talk to Green Fury.

CUT TO:

INT. CC JITTERS BAKERY - DAY

Barry, Iris, and Allegra are standing near the counter, talking about the trash villain. Green Fury walks over to them.

GREEN FURY Okay, I think I've got a plan to stop the trash villain. We can create a containment field using the power of the Green, and then we'll just need to lure him into it.

Barry nods his head.

BARRY Sounds good to me. Let's do it.

Suddenly, Riddleman walks up to Green Fury, looking nervous.

RIDDLEMAN (awkwardly) Uh, hey there, Green Fury. I was just wondering if, uh, you know, maybe you're single?

Green Fury looks at Riddleman with confusion.

GREEN FURY Sorry, Riddleman, but I'm not really interested in dating right now. I've got work to do.

Riddleman looks dejected, but then tries to recover with a riddle.

RIDDLEMAN Well, fair enough, fair lady. But before I go, let me ask you this: What is always in front of you but can't be seen?

Green Fury thinks for a moment before answering.

GREEN FURY The future?

RIDDLEMAN (grinning) That's right. And I hope the future holds great things for you.

Riddleman tips his hat and walks away. Green Fury looks at him with a mixture of confusion and amusement.

CUT TO:

INT. CC JITTERS BAKERY - LATER

The team has set up a trap for the trash villain. They've created a containment field using the power of the Green, and they're now waiting for the villain to show up.

Suddenly, they hear a noise outside. The trash villain has arrived.

BARRY Alright, let's do this.

The team springs into action, using their powers to lure the trash villain into the containment field. The villain struggles, but eventually succumbs to the power of the Green and is trapped.

ALLEGRA (smiling) Nice work, team.

IRIS (grinning) Now, who's up for some CC Jitters Coffee Soup?

The team laughs and heads to the counter to order.

FADE OUT.

INT. CC JITTERS BAKERY - DAY

Team Flash is ordering coffee soup when suddenly, the containment field holding The Garbage Grabber breaks, and he wields his Trash Staff.

THE GARBAGE GRABBER: (in a menacing tone) Looks like you're in a bit of a garbage situation!

SNOW-GREEN: Oh boy, this guy's really on a trash talk rampage.

GREEN FURY: Don't worry, Snow-Green, I'll take out the trash!

ALLEGRA: Should we be worried about the trash flying around here?

IRIS: Not if we can recycle him!

Suddenly, John Diggle as the Green Lantern bursts in.

JOHN DIGGLE: Sorry I'm late, folks. Looks like I arrived just in time for the party!

THE GARBAGE GRABBER: A new Green Lantern, huh? I'll take care of you too!

John Diggle uses his Green Lantern ring to create a shield, blocking the Garbage Grabber's attacks.

JOHN DIGGLE: Looks like you need to take a bath, my friend!

As the Garbage Grabber continues his attack, the screen fades to black, leaving the audience in suspense before the commercial break.

FADE TO BLACK.

INT. CC JITTERS BAKERY - DAY

Barry and John Diggle fight Garbage Grabber. Diggle creates a Green construct around the villain's Trash Staff, which immobilizes him. Garbage Grabber struggles, but Barry uses his speed to snatch the special trash bag, which contains the flour from Sourdough.

BARRY: (holding the bag) I got it! This is what we need to clear Emerald's name!

DIGGLE: Good work, Flash. Now, let's send this guy back where he belongs.

Diggle uses his Green Lantern Ring to create a portal to a prison dimension in space. The Green Lantern Ring's energy envelops Garbage Grabber and sends him through the portal.

BARRY: (smiling) That was easy.

DIGGLE: (smiling) Not every villain has the power of the Speed Force, Flash.

BARRY: (grinning) I guess I'm lucky that way.

The rest of Team Flash joins them, as they head out of the bakery.

ALLEGRA: So, did you get the flour?

BARRY: (holding up the bag) Yep, I got it.

IRIS: That's great news! Now we can clear Emerald's name.

SNOW-GREEN: I guess our plan wasn't necessary after all.

GREEN FURY: (smirking) Speak for yourself. I had fun.

RIDDLEMAN: (awkwardly) Uh, excuse me, Green Fury? I was wondering if I could talk to you for a minute?

GREEN FURY: (amused) Sure, Riddleman. What's on your mind?

The rest of the team looks on as Riddleman and Green Fury start chatting, and the camera zooms in on the bag of flour in Barry's hand.

FADE OUT.

FADE IN:

INT. STAR LABS - DAY

Barry is standing in front of the computer screen, looking at the file Joe sent him. Snow-Green and Green Fury walk in.

SNOW-GREEN: What's up, Barry?

BARRY: Emerald's been exonerated. Joe just sent me the files.

GREEN FURY: That's great news! I knew we could do it.

SNOW-GREEN: Yeah, thanks to us.

GREEN FURY: (smiling) Snow-Green, you're so modest.

RIDDLEMAN walks in.

RIDDLEMAN: Ah, love is in the air. I sense it, I feel it, I smell it.

SNOW-GREEN: (confused) What are you talking about?

RIDDLEMAN: (in riddle-talk) It's not a matter of talking, but a matter of riddles. I see you, my love. I feel you, my love. I smell you, my love. (pauses) Green Fury.

Green Fury looks at Riddleman, blushing.

GREEN FURY: Riddleman, what are you talking about?

RIDDLEMAN: (in riddle-talk) My dear Green Fury, let me be your Riddleman. I'll solve your puzzles, I'll answer your riddles, I'll be your partner in crime.

Snow-Green and Barry look at each other, surprised.

BARRY: (whispers) Did Riddleman just confess his love to Green Fury in riddles?

SNOW-GREEN: (whispers back) I think he did.

Green Fury giggles.

GREEN FURY: (smiling) Riddleman, you're so… riddley.

RIDDLEMAN: (excited) Does that mean you'll be my partner in crime?

GREEN FURY: (smiling) Let's start with solving some riddles together.

RIDDLEMAN: (in riddle-talk) I'm all for it, my love.

Snow-Green and Barry look at each other, amused.

SNOW-GREEN: (whispers) Who knew Riddleman had a soft spot?

BARRY: (whispers back) Who knew Green Fury was into riddles?

FADE OUT.

FADE IN:

INT. REGULAR STAR LABS - DAY

A portal opens up in the middle of the room. Out from the portal step Chester, Speedy Green, and the Green Universe version of Green Arrow. Chester is holding a Green Arrow hood.

CHESTER: Hey guys, we're back!

Iris, Allegra, and Riddleman rush over to greet them.

IRIS: Chester, where have you been? We've been worried sick!

CHESTER: Sorry guys, we got caught up in the multiverse. But we're back and we brought a friend.

Green Arrow steps forward and extends his hand.

GREEN ARROW: I'm Oliver Queen, but in the Green Universe, I'm known as the Emerald Archer.

Barry and Diggle walk over to join the group.

DIGGLE: Green Arrow, it's an honor.

BARRY: Welcome to our universe, Oliver.

GREEN ARROW: Thank you, Barry. It's good to be here.

SPEEDY GREEN: So, what did we miss?

ALLEGRA: Well, let's just say we had our hands full with a few new villains.

RIDDLEMAN: And a lot of puns!

Chester pulls out the Green Arrow hood.

CHESTER: And, I may have found something that belongs to you.

Green Arrow takes the hood and puts it on.

GREEN ARROW: Thanks, Chester. It's good to have this back.

SPEEDY GREEN: So, what's next?

BARRY: We'll figure it out, but for now, let's get some rest. We've earned it.

The group laughs and exits the lab.

FADE OUT.

INT. STAR LABS - POST-CREDITS

Barry and John sit down in the Cortex.

BARRY: It's crazy to think that there was an evil version of me in the Green Universe. It makes me feel like I have a lot to make up for.

JOHN: But remember, Barry, Evil Barry wasn't the only version of you in that universe. There was also a Good Green Barry.

BARRY: (Perking up) Really? Is he still around?

JOHN: (Sadly) No, I'm sorry Barry. He's dead.

Barry looks down, saddened by the news.

JOHN: But that doesn't mean his memory has to die. You can honor him by continuing to do good in this world, and being the best version of yourself.

Barry nods, taking in John's words.

BARRY: Thanks, John. I needed to hear that.

JOHN: Anytime, Barry.

Barry stands up and gives John a hug before they exit the Cortex together.

As the camera pans out on the now empty Star Labs, we hear the voice of Iris West-Allen.

IRIS (voiceover): We may never know what the Green Universe holds for us, but as long as we have each other, we can face whatever comes our way.

The scene ends with a shot of the night sky outside of Star Labs.
