FADE IN:

EXT. CITY STREET - DAY

A billionaire is walking down the street, talking on his phone when a green energy arrow hits him in the shoulder. He falls to the ground, dead.

EMERALD ARCHER (O.S.) (stepping out of the shadows) Looks like he couldn't keep his balance.

Emerald Archer, the Green Universe version of Oliver Queen, smirks as he looks at the lifeless body.

EMERALD ARCHER (CONT'D) (continuing his pun) But don't worry, I'll make sure his balance sheet is zeroed out.

He chuckles to himself and disappears into the shadows as people start to gather around the scene.

CUT TO:

TITLE CARD: "The Flash"

FADE OUT.

INT. STAR LABS - DAY

Iris, Chester, Allegra, and Snow-Green are gathered around Emerald as he lays on a bed in Star Labs. Iris hands the technology box to Chester.

IRIS: (to Chester) Can you use this to charge up the greenforce in Emerald?

CHESTER: I'll try my best.

Chester places the technology box on Emerald's chest and begins to tinker with it. Suddenly, Emerald's body starts to vibrate.

CHESTER: Whoa, this is crazy! I can feel the latent speedforce in him.

ALLEGRA: (smirks) Don't get too excited, Chester.

CHESTER: (laughs) I know, I know. I'm just saying, this is some powerful stuff.

ALLEGRA: (teasingly) I bet you're used to vibrations, huh?

Chester laughs, but Iris rolls her eyes.

IRIS: Can we please focus, guys?

SNOW-GREEN: (nods) She's right. We need to concentrate on charging the greenforce in Emerald.

Chester nods in agreement and continues to work on the technology box.

INT. HALLWAY OUTSIDE THE ROOM WITH RIDDLEMAN AND GREEN FURY

Green Fury walks down the hallway towards Riddleman's room, holding a small bottle of smelling salts. She unlocks the door and enters, finding Riddleman lying unconscious on the bed.

GREEN FURY: (softly) Wake up, my love.

RIDDLEMAN: (groaning) What…happened?

GREEN FURY: (offering the smelling salts) You passed out, but we need your help.

Riddleman takes a deep breath of the salts and awakens with a start.

RIDDLEMAN: (speaking in green-themed riddles) Green as the grass, I've been revived. But why do you need me, my Green Fury bride?

GREEN FURY: (taking his hand) Emerald needs our help. He's connected to the Emerald Archer, and we need to break that connection.

RIDDLEMAN: (nodding) I understand. Let us go and help our friend.

INT. STAR LABS MAIN ROOM

Green Fury and Riddleman enter the room to find Emerald vibrating on a table, with Allegra and Chester working on the technology box to charge up the greenforce.

GREEN FURY: (to the team) Any progress?

ALLEGRA: (frustrated) Not yet. It's like we're hitting a wall.

CHESTER: (wiping sweat from his brow) This is tougher than I thought it would be.

RIDDLEMAN: (speaking in riddles) The green energy within him is trapped, by the archer's power that overlaps. We must break the link, to revive the one on the brink.

IRIS: (entering the room) What's going on?

GREEN FURY: (to Riddleman) Can you help us sever the connection between Emerald and Emerald Archer?

RIDDLEMAN: (confidently) Of course, my love. But first, you must solve this riddle with a green theme, to help me unlock my mind's dream.

IRIS: (sighing) What's the riddle?

RIDDLEMAN: (speaking in riddles) What's green, has leaves but isn't a tree, and is used to make tea?

The team looks at each other, thinking hard about the answer.

FADE IN:

EXT. RAY PALMER'S OFFICE - NIGHT

Emerald Archer and Speedy Green are standing outside the door of Ray Palmer's office, their bows drawn and aimed at the door.

EMERALD ARCHER: (to Speedy Green) You ready to take out the competition?

SPEEDY GREEN: (smiling) Let's do this.

As they're about to shoot their arrows, a blast of green willpower energy knocks the arrows out of their hands.

EMERALD ARCHER: (turning around to face John Diggle Green Lantern) What the--?

JOHN DIGGLE: You're not going anywhere, Emerald Archer and Speedy Green.

Emerald Archer and Speedy Green readies their bows, but before they can shoot, Good Green Barry Allen runs up behind them and delivers a swift kick to the back of their knees, causing them to stumble.

GOOD GREEN BARRY: Hey, buddies. My speedster name is Good Green Barry Allen. Nice to meet you.

EMERALD ARCHER: Who the hell are you?

SPEEDY GREEN: Yeah, and what's with the "Good" Green?

GOOD GREEN BARRY: (smiling) I'm the good guy, you guys are the bad guys.

Emerald Archer and Speedy Green try to take shots, but Good Green Barry effortlessly dodges them.

SPEEDY GREEN: (grinning) Looks like we've got ourselves a speedster.

Emerald Archer fires an arrow at Good Green Barry, but he phases through it and lands a blow of his own. Meanwhile, Speedy Green is taking on John Diggle with a flurry of punches and kicks.

JOHN DIGGLE: (grinning) You two are no match for us.

Emerald Archer and Speedy Green try to regroup and fight back, but the battle rages on. The four of them engage in a fierce fight, with punches and arrows flying everywhere.

Despite their best efforts, none of them seems to gain the upper hand. The fight continues, with no clear winner in sight.

FADE OUT.

FADE IN:

INT. STAR LABS - DAY

Snow-Green is standing in front of the team, holding a piece of paper in her hand. Riddleman is standing beside her, twirling a green-tinted cane.

SNOW-GREEN: (smiling) The answer to your riddle is tea.

RIDDLEMAN: (applauding) Very good, Snow-Green. You're quite the clever one.

CHESTER: (reading from the paper) "Sever the ties between Green Ronnie and Green Thawne to gather the latent speedforce energy inside and use it to charge up Emerald and Barry."

IRIS: (nodding) It's worth a shot.

CECILE: (looking concerned) But how are we going to do that?

ALLEGRA: (thinking) Well, we know that Green Thawne is from the future, so maybe we can find a way to send him back.

SNOW-GREEN: (nodding) And if we can separate him from Green Ronnie, we might be able to harness that energy.

RIDDLEMAN: (smiling) Yes, yes, very good. The potential for success is clear, like the leaves on a green plant.

IRIS: (determined) Alright then, let's get to work.

The team starts to move out, preparing to execute their plan.

FADE OUT.

FADE IN:

INT. STAR LABS - DAY

Cecile and Joe are in a quiet corner of Star Labs, discussing ways in which Cecile could use her mind powers to assist the team.

JOE: Have you given any thought to how you can use your powers to help us with this Green Ronnie and Green Thawne situation?

CECILE: (thoughtful) Well, I've been trying to focus on amplifying my telepathic abilities. I'm hoping that I can tap into their thoughts and feelings, and maybe even influence their actions.

JOE:  (nodding) That could definitely come in handy. But what about your empathy? Do you think you could use that to track down any emotional connections between them?

CECILE: (considering) Hmm, that's a good idea. I could try to sense any residual emotional ties between them and then work on severing them.

JOE: (impressed) That's some next-level psychic work, Cecile. I have no doubt you'll be able to make it happen.

CECILE: (smiling) Thanks, Joe. I'm just happy to be able to help in any way I can.

The two share a brief moment of silence before returning to their work.

FADE OUT.

FADE IN:

EXT. STAR CITY - NIGHT

John Diggle Green Lantern and Good Green Barry Allen are in a fierce battle with Speedy Green and Emerald Archer.

EMERALD ARCHER: (parrying a blow from Good Green Barry) You know what's wrong with the world? Billionaires like Ray Palmer hoard wealth while people struggle just to survive.

GOOD GREEN BARRY: (landing a punch on Emerald Archer) I agree that wealth inequality is a serious problem, but that doesn't give you the right to destroy entire universes.

SPEEDY GREEN: (firing an arrow at John Diggle)  And what about the fact that the rich have the power to shape the world to their liking? That's not fair either.

JOHN DIGGLE: (blocking the arrow with his ring) I hear what you're saying, but you can't just take justice into your own hands. That's not how the law works.

The two sides continue to exchange blows, each trying to gain the upper hand. Emerald Archer and Speedy Green continue to make compelling arguments about the need for social and economic justice, while John Diggle and Good Green Barry argue that violence and destruction are not the answer.

EMERALD ARCHER: (grappling with Good Green Barry) We're not the villains here. We're fighting for what's right.

GOOD GREEN BARRY: (dodging an arrow from Speedy Green) There's a right way and a wrong way to fight for what you believe in. You're choosing the wrong way.

The battle rages on, with no clear end in sight.

FADE OUT.

FADE IN:

INT. STAR LABS - MAIN ROOM - DAY

Chester types furiously on his computer as the team watches eagerly. Suddenly, a green light emanates from his device and spreads through the room.

CHESTER: (grinning) We did it! Green Ronnie and Green Thawne are now two separate entities.

IRIS: (smiling) That's great news, Chester.

ALLEGRA: (holding up her hand) And I've got just the thing to get Barry and Emerald back in the game.

Allegra aims her light beam at Iris's wedding ring and it bounces off, hitting Barry, Emerald, and Thawne.

BARRY: (opening his eyes) Whoa. What happened?

EMERALD: (also opening his eyes) I feel… different.

CHESTER: (jokingly) And Thawne's now a vibrating husk on the floor. Sorry not sorry.

IRIS: (turning to Barry) Are you ready?

BARRY: (nodding) Let's do this.

Barry suits up and takes Emerald with him as they exit STAR Labs.

CUT TO:

EXT. CENTRAL CITY - DAY

Barry and Emerald run through the streets of Central City, scanning the area for any sign of Emerald Archer.

EMERALD: (breathing heavily) This is insane. How do you do this all the time?

BARRY: (smiling) You get used to it.

Suddenly, they hear the sound of arrows whistling through the air.

EMERALD: (drawing his bow) That must be Emerald Archer.

Barry speeds ahead while Emerald takes cover behind a nearby building. As Barry dodges the arrows, he spots Emerald Archer on a rooftop.

BARRY: (calling out) Stop this, Emerald Archer. We can help you.

EMERALD ARCHER: (smirking) Sorry, Flash. But I have a job to do.

Emerald Archer fires an arrow at Barry, who manages to catch it in mid-air.

BARRY: (grinning) Nice try.

Barry throws the arrow back at Emerald Archer, but he easily dodges it.

EMERALD ARCHER: (laughing) Is that all you've got?

BARRY: (smiling) Not even close.

Barry charges forward, punching Emerald Archer in the face. Meanwhile, Emerald takes aim at the rooftop and fires an arrow at John Diggle and Good Green Barry, who are still fighting Speedy Green.

EMERALD: (calling out) Duck!

John Diggle and Good Green Barry quickly dodge the arrow, giving them the chance to take down Speedy Green.

EMERALD: (smiling) Nice shot.

BARRY: (grinning) You're not so bad yourself.

The two heroes regroup and prepare to take on Emerald Archer together.

FADE OUT.

FADE IN:

INT. STAR LABS - MAIN ROOM - DAY

Riddleman is sitting in a corner, surrounded by green-themed riddles that he's scribbled on pieces of paper. He looks distraught, mumbling to himself in riddles.

RIDDLEMAN: What's green and red and goes a million miles an hour? My heart, breaking with every second that I'm like this.

Snow-Green approaches him with a reassuring smile.

SNOW-GREEN: Hey, Riddleman. How are you doing?

RIDDLEMAN: What's green and has a broken heart? This guy.

Iris, Allegra, Chester, and Cecile watch from a distance.

IRIS: (whispering to Allegra) We need to find Emerald Archer before it's too late.

ALLEGRA: (nodding) I'm on it.

CHESTER: (smiling) And I'm on making sure Thawne doesn't pull any tricks.

Cecile walks up to Riddleman, placing a hand on his shoulder.

CECILE: Riddleman, can you hear me?

RIDDLEMAN: What's green and can hear everything but still can't get through to the love of his life? Me.

CECILE: (smiling) Listen, I can try to enter your mind and help you. Would you like that?

RIDDLEMAN: What's green and wants nothing more than to be fixed? Me.

Cecile closes her eyes and focuses her mind, entering Riddleman's "mind palace." The scene ends as she disappears into his subconscious.

FADE OUT.

INT. MULTIVERSE - FIGHT SCENE - CONTINUOUS

John Diggle Green Lantern and Good Green Barry Allen are taking a beating from Emerald Archer and Speedy Green. John Diggle Green Lantern grunts as he blocks an arrow with his green energy shield.

JOHN DIGGLE GREEN LANTERN We can't keep this up much longer.

GOOD GREEN BARRY ALLEN (panting) I know. But we have to keep fighting. We can't let them win.

Emerald Archer smirks as she knocks Good Green Barry Allen to the ground with a well-placed arrow.

EMERALD ARCHER You're fighting for a world that doesn't deserve you. Why bother?

GOOD GREEN BARRY ALLEN (struggling to stand) Because it's the right thing to do. It's what heroes do.

John Diggle Green Lantern steps in front of Good Green Barry Allen, using his power ring to create a shield to protect them both.

JOHN DIGGLE GREEN LANTERN I've always loved you, Barry.

Good Green Barry Allen looks at John Diggle Green Lantern, touched.

GOOD GREEN BARRY ALLEN (smiling) I know. And I've always loved you, too.

Suddenly, regular Barry and Emerald arrive, ready to help.

REGULAR BARRY ALLEN Hey, guys! We've got an idea.

Good Green Barry Allen nods, and regular Barry whispers something in his ear.

GOOD GREEN BARRY ALLEN (grinning) I think it just might work.

The scene ends as they prepare to put their plan into action.

INT. STAR LABS - RIDDLEMAN'S LAB

Cecile closes her eyes and concentrates, reaching out with her mind to enter Riddleman's mind palace. She finds herself in a dark, ominous place filled with green riddles floating in the air.

CECILE (whispering) Hello? Is anyone here?

Suddenly, a small, frightened boy appears before her. He has Riddleman's face and is surrounded by a group of mocking children.

BOY RIDDLEMAN (tearfully) Who are you?

CECILE (smiling) My name is Cecile. I'm here to help.

BOY RIDDLEMAN (scared) You can't help me. This is the Riddle universe. Nobody understands me.

CECILE (calmly) I understand. But I'm here to tell you that it's okay to be yourself. You don't have to hide behind riddles anymore.

BOY RIDDLEMAN (incredulous) What do you mean?

CECILE (gently) You don't have to be afraid of being different. You're special just the way you are.

BOY RIDDLEMAN (smiling) Really?

CECILE (nodding) Really. And you don't have to be scared anymore. I'm going to help you.

Cecile reaches out and touches the boy's forehead. He begins to glow with a bright green light and suddenly transforms into a confident, grown-up Riddleman.

RIDDLEMAN (amazed) Cecile! You did it!

CECILE (smiling) I just helped you see the truth. You were never broken, Riddleman. You just needed to believe in yourself.

RIDDLEMAN (thankful) Thank you, Cecile. Thank you so much.

Cecile nods and begins to exit the mind palace, leaving Riddleman behind. As she opens her eyes, she sees Riddleman standing before her, his eyes clear and free of fear.

RIDDLEMAN (grateful) Cecile, I don't know how to thank you.

CECILE (smiling) Just keep being the brilliant, green-themed riddle master that you are. And remember, it's okay to be yourself.

The two embrace, and the scene fades to black.

EXT. CENTRAL CITY - NIGHT

Good Green Barry Allen and Regular Universe Barry Allen stand in front of Speedy Green and Emerald Archer, who are both looking downcast.

GOOD GREEN BARRY ALLEN (angrily) You know what the problem with you two is? You've never known love. You've only known hate and revenge.

Regular Universe Barry Allen nods in agreement.

REGULAR UNIVERSE BARRY ALLEN Love is the most powerful force in the universe. It can conquer anything.

Speedy Green and Emerald Archer exchange a glance.

SPEEDY GREEN (sadly) I've never known love. Only the pain of losing my father.

EMERALD ARCHER (sadly) And I've only known the desire for revenge.

Regular Universe Barry Allen steps forward and puts his hand on Emerald Archer's shoulder.

REGULAR UNIVERSE BARRY ALLEN (empathetically) But it's never too late to change. You can choose to let go of the anger and the pain, and open your heart to love.

Emerald Archer looks at Regular Universe Barry Allen, tears welling up in his eyes.

EMERALD ARCHER (sadly) I don't know if I can.

Good Green Barry Allen steps forward and takes Emerald Archer's other shoulder.

GOOD GREEN BARRY ALLEN (optimistically) You can. We all have the capacity for love. You just have to let go of the past and open yourself up to it.

Emerald Archer nods, and Speedy Green looks at them both with a small smile.

SPEEDY GREEN (gratefully) Thank you.

Suddenly, Speedy Green and Emerald Archer are enveloped in a bright green light and disappear.

REGULAR UNIVERSE BARRY ALLEN (surprised) What just happened?

GOOD GREEN BARRY ALLEN (excitedly) I think they've been absorbed into the greenforce!

John Diggle Green Lantern flies over to them.

JOHN DIGGLE GREEN LANTERN (looking relieved) Thank goodness. It looks like we've won.

Good Green Barry Allen turns to Regular Universe Barry Allen.

GOOD GREEN BARRY ALLEN (whispering) I have an idea. Follow my lead.

The scene ends with Good Green Barry Allen and Regular Universe Barry Allen whispering to each other, but we don't get to hear what they're saying.

FADE IN:

INT. STAR LABS - NIGHT

The team is celebrating their victory with a foam party. Good Green Barry Allen and regular Barry Allen are standing together, covered in foam.

GOOD GREEN BARRY ALLEN: I can't thank you enough for your help, man. You saved me back there.

REGULAR BARRY ALLEN: (smiling) No problem. That's what we do here.

GOOD GREEN BARRY ALLEN: You know, in my original timeline, I died because of a lack of green energy. But I must have been revived when Iris created the time vortex.

REGULAR BARRY ALLEN: (puzzled) That's… interesting. I never even thought about that.

Good Green Barry Allen nods and takes a sip of his drink. Meanwhile, John Diggle Green Lantern walks over to them.

JOHN DIGGLE GREEN LANTERN: (to Good Green Barry Allen) Ready to go back?

Good Green Barry Allen nods and turns to regular Barry Allen.

GOOD GREEN BARRY ALLEN: Goodbye, Barry. I hope we'll see each other again.

REGULAR BARRY ALLEN: (smiling) I'm sure we will. Take care.

John Diggle Green Lantern and Good Green Barry Allen share a kiss and disappear in a flash of green light, returning to the green universe.

As the foam party continues, Barry stands deep in thought, pondering the implications of what Good Green Barry Allen had just told him.

FADE OUT.

INT. STAR LABS - FOAM PARTY - NIGHT

The foam party is in full swing. Everyone is dancing and having a good time. Suddenly, Snow-Green and Emerald step up to the center of the room.

SNOW-GREEN: Excuse me, everyone! Emerald and I have something to announce.

EMERALD: We've decided to return to the Green Universe to start a new life together.

Everyone looks surprised.

SNOW-GREEN: We want to thank you all for your friendship and support.

Suddenly, Green Fury steps forward.

GREEN FURY: Wait just a minute. I'm not going anywhere. I'm staying in this universe.

EMERALD: But Green Fury, why?

GREEN FURY: I'm staying because I want to be with the love of my life, Riddleman.

RIDDLEMAN: (becoming emotional) Green Fury…

Cecile puts her arm around Riddleman and speaks to him softly.

IRIS: Well, as happy as we are for Snow-Green and Emerald, we have our own news.

Allegra places her hand on her stomach.

ALLEGRA: Iris and I are still pregnant.

CHESTER: (in a funny tone) Well, I guess the universe will just have to wait for another speedster to arrive.

Everyone laughs.

IRIS: Alright, who's up for pizza?

Everyone cheers and starts making their way to the kitchen.

As they exit the room, the camera lingers on Green Fury and Riddleman. They are lost in each other's eyes.

FADE OUT.

FADE IN:

INT. STAR LABS - CONTINUOUS

Riddleman takes Green Fury aside, looking nervous.

RIDDLEMAN: (rambling in riddles) My love for you is like a green tea blend, A concoction of sweetness that'll never end. In the Green Universe, you're the queen, But here in this universe, you make my heart sing.

Green Fury looks touched and takes his hand.

GREEN FURY: (smiling) Riddleman, I love you too.

Suddenly, a loud noise interrupts them, and they turn to see a blender turning on by itself. The vortex begins to form behind Riddleman, and he is pulled towards it.

RIDDLEMAN: (panicking) Green Fury! I had something important to ask you!

GREEN FURY: (concerned) What is it?

RIDDLEMAN: (shouting over the noise) Will you marry me?!

Green Fury looks shocked but doesn't get a chance to respond as Riddleman is pulled into the vortex.

GREEN FURY: (calling after him) Riddleman!

FADE OUT.

FADE IN:

EXT. STAR LABS - NIGHT

The camera pans to Star Labs, where everyone is still picking up blenders and shaking them, trying to find Riddleman.

Suddenly, a blender turns on and a portal opens up, and out comes Supergirl herself, wearing a Riddler hat.

SUPERGIRL: Hey, guys! Did somebody say riddles?

Iris and Allegra look at each other in disbelief.

IRIS: Supergirl? What are you doing here? And why are you wearing a Riddler hat?

SUPERGIRL: (long pause) You know, sometimes you just have to mix things up a little. (smirks)

CHESTER: But how did you get here?

SUPERGIRL: I was chasing a villain through the multiverse, and I stumbled upon this universe by accident. I guess I got a little lost.

ALLEGRA: But why are you wearing a Riddler hat?

SUPERGIRL: I made a deal with the Riddler. He promised to give me a clue to where the villain was headed if I wore this hat for a day. And here I am.

IRIS: Well, we're glad you're here. Maybe you can help us find Riddleman.

SUPERGIRL: Riddleman? Who's Riddleman?

The camera zooms in on Iris's face as the scene ends.

FADE TO BLACK.

FADE IN:

INT. SNOW-GREEN'S APARTMENT - NIGHT

Emerald and Snow-Green are having dinner at a candlelit table. The apartment is cozy and modern, with a view of the city in the background.

SNOW-GREEN (smiling) What's the matter? You look distracted.

EMERALD (shaking his head) No, no, I'm fine. Just thinking about work, I guess.

SNOW-GREEN (teasingly) Work can wait. We have more important things to do.

She leans in to kiss him, but as soon as their lips touch, Emerald's body starts to convulse. Snow-Green pulls back in shock as Emerald falls to the ground, unconscious.

SNOW-GREEN (panicking) Oh my God, what's happening to you?

She picks up her phone and dials a number.

SNOW-GREEN (into phone) Chester, it's Snow-Green. Emerald's collapsed at my place. I'm taking him to Star Labs right now.

Chester, who is in the Star Labs control room, picks up the call.

CHESTER (on the phone) What? Is he okay?

SNOW-GREEN (on the phone) I don't know, he just collapsed. I need your help.

CHESTER (on the phone) I'm on it. Bring him to the lab, we'll figure it out.

Snow-Green scoops up Emerald's limp body and carries him out the door, determined to find out what is wrong with him.

FADE OUT.

FADE IN:

INT. STAR LABS - MEDICAL WARD - NIGHT

Barry and Emerald are both lying unconscious on hospital beds in the medical ward of Star Labs. Chester, Allegra, and Snow-Green are gathered around them, looking concerned.

CHESTER (nervously) So, uh, what do you call two unconscious superheroes lying in beds next to each other?

ALLEGRA (rolling her eyes) Chester, not now.

SNOW-GREEN (smiling slightly) Actually, I could use a laugh right now. What do you call them?

CHESTER (grinning) A speedster sandwich!

Allegra shakes her head in exasperation while Snow-Green chuckles.

IRIS (off screen) Guys, focus. I think I know what's going on.

The group turns to look at Iris, who is studying a monitor displaying both Barry and Emerald's vitals.

SNOW-GREEN (concerned) What is it?

IRIS (pointing to the monitor) It looks like the speedforce has been completely drained from their bodies.

CHESTER (shocked) Completely drained? That's not possible.

ALLEGRA (puzzled) But who would want to do that to them?

SNOW-GREEN (determined) Whoever it is, we'll find out. Let's get to work.

The team springs into action, determined to figure out who or what could have drained the speedforce from two of Central City's greatest heroes.

FADE OUT.

FADE IN:

INT. STAR LABS - DAY

Riddleman rushes into the lab, holding a glowing Green Fury in his arms. Team Flash looks up in surprise as he enters.

RIDDLEMAN (excitedly) Oh, thank goodness you guys are here! Green Fury just started glowing like crazy while we were making out, and then she passed out!

Snow-Green and Allegra exchange a glance, both trying to hide a knowing smile.

RIDDLEMAN (CONT'D) I know it sounds crazy, but I think it's some sort of riddle!

Chester looks skeptical, but Allegra leans forward, intrigued.

ALLEGRA What's the riddle?

RIDDLEMAN (excitedly) Okay, okay, here it goes: What's green and can turn you into a superhero, but can also take away your powers?

Chester groans, rolling his eyes, while Allegra furrows her brow in thought.

ALLEGRA (pondering) Hmm, it sounds like it's something that can give and take away powers…maybe it's some sort of energy?

SNOW-GREEN (smiling) Bingo. It's some kind of energy source that we don't know about.

Team Flash looks at each other in surprise, realizing that Riddleman and Green Fury must have stumbled upon something that they haven't seen before.

IRIS (turning to the group) So that's what's been draining the speedforce from Barry and Emerald.

CHESTER (befuddled) What is that energy source?

Allegra and Snow-Green exchange a knowing glance, but say nothing.

SNOW-GREEN (to Chester) We don't know yet. We'll have to analyze it and find out.

Riddleman looks confused, but relieved that Green Fury is okay.

RIDDLEMAN (looking down at Green Fury) So, what do we do now?

The room falls silent, everyone lost in thought.

FADE OUT.

FADE IN:

INT. STAR LABS - DAY

Team Flash is still trying to figure out what to do with the sudden appearance of the Greenforce. Suddenly, John Diggle, dressed in his Green Lantern suit, bursts into the room.

JOHN DIGGLE (intensely) We've got a problem. I've detected a surge of Green energy in this universe. Someone has accessed the Greenforce.

Everyone looks at each other, realizing the severity of the situation.

CHESTER (grinning) Looks like we've got a Speedforce-Greenforce showdown on our hands.

Allegra rolls her eyes at Chester's pun, while Snow-Green tries to stifle a laugh.

IRIS (calling out) We need to get Cecile and Joe in here ASAP. If the Greenforce energy is blocking the Speedforce, we need all the help we can get.

Snow-Green nods in agreement and quickly picks up the phone to call Cecile and Joe.

SNOW-GREEN (into phone) Cecile, it's Snow-Green. We've got a situation at Star Labs. Can you and Joe come over here right away?

As Snow-Green hangs up the phone, Iris turns to John.

IRIS (to John) Do you have any idea who could be accessing the Greenforce?

John shakes his head.

JOHN DIGGLE (regretfully) Not yet. But I'll keep investigating. In the meantime, we need to figure out how to counteract the Greenforce energy.

The team nods in agreement, determined to find a solution.

FADE OUT.

FADE IN:

INT. STAR LABS - DAY

Cecile and Joe enter the lab to find Team Flash gathered around Green Lantern, who is constructing a complex device.

JOE (surprised) John Diggle? What are you doing here?

GREEN LANTERN (turning to them) I detected a spike in the Greenforce energy in this universe. It could mean trouble.

CECILE (curious) Greenforce? What's that?

Chester jumps in with a pun.

CHESTER (grinning) It's like the Speedforce, but…well, greener.

Everyone rolls their eyes at Chester's joke.

GREEN LANTERN (continuing) I'm constructing a mind machine for Cecile. She may be able to access Barry's mind palace and locate the blockage.

JOE (nodding) Alright. Let's give it a shot.

Green Lantern hands Cecile the device, which she puts on her head. The machine hums to life as Cecile closes her eyes and concentrates.

Cecile is transported into Barry's mind palace. She navigates through his memories, searching for the source of the blockage.

BARRY (V.O) (sadly) Cecile? Is that you?

CECILE (surprised) Barry? I'm trying to help you. Can you tell me what's going on?

BARRY (V.O) (sad) I don't know. The power of love was supposed to wake me up, but it didn't work.

CECILE (softly) What do you mean?

BARRY (V.O) (explaining) I was hoping that my love for Iris would break through the blockage, but it didn't. I'm still stuck here.

Cecile continues to search for the source of the blockage, but comes up empty-handed.

CECILE (frustrated) I'm sorry, Barry. I couldn't find anything.

JOE (worried) What does this mean?

GREEN LANTERN (thoughtful) It's possible that the Greenforce energy is blocking the Speedforce.

IRIS (nodding) That would explain why Barry and Emerald are both affected.

CECILE (concerned) We need to find a way to remove the blockage and restore their connection to the Speedforce.

The team looks at each other, determined to find a solution.

FADE OUT.

FADE IN:

INT. STAR LABS - DAY

Joe walks down the hallway towards the bathroom when he bumps into Emerald Archer, who seems to be fidgeting with something in his pocket.

JOE (suspiciously) Hey, what are you doing here? And what's in your pocket?

Emerald Archer quickly shoves the object deeper into his pocket.

EMERALD ARCHER (nervously) Oh, hey Joe. I was just looking for the restroom.

JOE (eyeing him) You seemed to be more interested in whatever is in your pocket. Show me.

Emerald Archer hesitates for a moment before reluctantly pulling out the Green Device.

EMERALD ARCHER (trying to explain) I just found it lying around and was curious. I didn't mean any harm.

Joe takes the device from him and inspects it closely.

JOE (disapprovingly) You know better than to play around with unknown devices, especially ones that can emit that kind of energy.

Emerald Archer looks ashamed.

EMERALD ARCHER (apologetically) I'm sorry. I'll put it away and never touch it again.

Joe nods and watches as Emerald Archer hurries away, clearly embarrassed.

JOE (muttering to himself) Something tells me this isn't the last I've seen of that device.

He heads to the bathroom, leaving Emerald Archer alone in the hallway. Once Joe is out of sight, Emerald Archer pulls out the device again and starts playing with it, unable to resist its mysterious power.

FADE OUT.

INT. STAR LABS - DAY

Cecile opens her eyes and steps out of the mind machine. She looks at the members of Team Flash, who are waiting for her report.

CECILE (disappointed) I'm sorry, I couldn't find anything in Barry's mind palace.

JOHN DIGGLE (concerned) So, we still don't know what's causing the blockage?

CECILE (shaking her head) No, I'm afraid not. But I did see something strange. A man in a green hood, shooting green energy all over a multiverse.

Allegra's eyes widen.

ALLEGRA Could it be the Green Arrow?

SNOW-GREEN (shrugging) It's possible. But how does that explain the blockage in the Speedforce?

IRIS (thoughtfully) Maybe the Greenforce energy is somehow interfering with the Speedforce.

Suddenly, Chester's eyes light up.

CHESTER (excitedly) That's it! The Greenforce… I've got an idea!

Everyone looks at him expectantly.

CHESTER (CONT'D) (continuing) What if we use the Greenforce energy to jumpstart Barry's connection to the Speedforce?

JOHN DIGGLE (optimistic) It's worth a try.

Suddenly, Joe bursts into the room, looking agitated.

JOE (to Team Flash) Guys, I think we've got a problem.

Everyone turns to look at him.

JOE (CONT'D) (continuing) I just caught Emerald Archer playing with some kind of device in the hallway. When I confronted him, he hid it from me.

ALLEGRA (curious) What kind of device?

JOE (shrugging) I don't know, but it was glowing green.

Snow-Green looks at Allegra, a worried expression on her face.

SNOW-GREEN (whispering to Allegra) Could it be the Green Device?

Allegra looks surprised.

ALLEGRA (whispering back) What's the Green Device?

The rest of Team Flash looks on, unaware of the conversation.

FADE OUT.

FADE IN:

INT. STAR LABS - DAY

Snow-Green stands on a table, addressing Team Flash.

SNOW-GREEN …and that's why Evil Barry invented the Green Device. He was trying to transfer the green energy to other universes.

Allegra looks puzzled.

ALLEGRA Why would he want to do that?

Snow-Green opens her mouth to reply, but suddenly she is interrupted by a loud thud. A second later, she collapses to the ground with an arrow protruding from her shoulder.

Team Flash jumps into action. Chester tries to pull the arrow out, but Snow-Green winces in pain.

SNOW-GREEN (grimacing) No, don't! It's barbed.

As the rest of the team tends to Snow-Green, Iris notices a green glow coming from outside the lab.

IRIS (pointing) Look!

Emerald Archer is standing outside, holding the Green Device and grinning smugly.

IRIS (CONT'D) (to the team) It's him. He's the one who's been causing all of this.

Allegra clenches her fists.

ALLEGRA (angrily) We have to stop him.

Chester nods in agreement.

CHESTER Yeah, before he causes any more damage.

John Diggle Green Lantern approaches the group.

JOHN DIGGLE GREEN LANTERN We can't let him continue to manipulate the Greenforce. It's too dangerous.

The team nods in agreement.

IRIS (to John Diggle Green Lantern) Can you track him?

JOHN DIGGLE GREEN LANTERN (nodding) Yes, I can. But we have to hurry.

As the team rushes to prepare for the upcoming battle, Snow-Green looks up weakly.

SNOW-GREEN (whispering) Be careful. He's not who you think he is.

With that, she passes out.

FADE OUT.

EXT. STAR LABS - DAY

Cecile and Allegra rush outside of Star Labs, determined to confront Emerald Archer. They see him a few yards away, holding the Green Device.

CECILE (pointing at Emerald Archer) That's him! He's the one who shot Snow-Green!

ALLEGRA Let's take him down!

Cecile concentrates, trying to use her mind powers to immobilize Emerald Archer. Meanwhile, Allegra charges up her light beams.

EMERALD ARCHER (smiling) You think you can stop me? You don't have what it takes.

He quickly moves to the side, dodging Cecile's attack. Allegra shoots a beam of light, but he jumps out of the way and lands on the roof of a nearby building.

EMERALD ARCHER (CONT'D) You two are no match for me. You should give up while you still have the chance.

CECILE (trying to catch her breath) We can't let him get away. We have to keep trying.

ALLEGRA (nodding) Right. Let's do this.

Cecile and Allegra continue to attack, but Emerald Archer continues to dodge their blasts and makes green puns.

EMERALD ARCHER (laughing) You're not even close. You're just making it too easy for me.

Cecile and Allegra look at each other, determined to find a way to stop Emerald Archer and protect their friends.

INT. STAR LABS

JOE approaches JOHN DIGGLE GREEN LANTERN, who is sitting at the computer.

JOE John, why aren't you outside fighting Emerald Archer?

JOHN Joe, the Greenforce energy may be too much for my Green Lantern powers.

JOE So what's your plan then?

JOHN I have a plan, but first I need to go back to the green universe.

JOE What? Why?

JOHN Because I need to retrieve something that will help us defeat Speedy Green.

JOE looks confused but nods in agreement.

JOE Alright, but what is it that you need?

JOHN I can't say yet, but trust me, it's important.

JOHN stands up and takes out his Green Lantern ring.

JOHN I'll be back soon.

He creates a Green Portal and steps through it, disappearing from Star Labs.

JOE looks around, feeling frustrated and helpless.

JOE (to himself) We need Barry…where is he?

Suddenly, he hears a noise coming from the bathroom.

JOE (calling out) Barry? Is that you?

No response.

JOE (sighs) Probably just the pipes.

He turns around and heads back to the main lab area. As he walks away, SPEEDY GREEN steps out of the bathroom, looking around cautiously.

INT. STAR LABS - CONTINUOUS

Allegra is still trying to attack Emerald Archer with her light beams when Chester rushes outside to help her.

CHESTER: Allegra, catch!

Chester throws a small box to Allegra, who catches it.

ALLEGRA: What is this?

CHESTER: It's a device I've been working on. I call it the light-capture box. It can trap and contain light beams.

ALLEGRA: How is that supposed to help us?

CHESTER: Just trust me.

Emerald Archer, who has been dodging Allegra's attacks, suddenly stops and aims his bow at Chester.

EMERALD ARCHER: Looks like it's time for you to leave.

Emerald Archer fires a green arrow at Chester, but Chester catches it in the light-capture box, which glows brightly.

CHESTER: Ha! Gotcha!

Emerald Archer looks surprised and a little nervous.

EMERALD ARCHER: You may have caught that arrow, but you'll never catch me.

Emerald Archer glows with green energy and takes off into the sky, flying away.

ALLEGRA: What was that all about?

CHESTER: I don't know, but we need to figure out how to stop him before he causes any more trouble.

Allegra nods in agreement, and they head back inside Star Labs to regroup.

INT. STAR LABS - DAY

Allegra, Chester, Iris, and Snow-Green come together inside Star Labs to form a plan to stop Emerald Archer.

CHESTER: I have this technology box. We can try to use the latent Green Energy inside to access the greenforce.

ALLEGRA: Can we really do that?

CHESTER: It's worth a shot. But it will take time to charge.

IRIS: How much time?

CHESTER: I'm not sure, but we have to try.

SNOW-GREEN: We need to be careful. The Greenforce energy is unpredictable and dangerous.

CHESTER: Don't worry, I've got this under control.

CECILE: (offscreen) That's what you said last time.

Cecile enters the room, looking frustrated.

CECILE: How are we supposed to trust you when you keep making these puns?

CHESTER: My puns are a work of art. You just don't appreciate them.

Allegra rolls her eyes.

ALLEGRA: Can we please focus on the plan?

CHESTER: Right, right. Sorry. We'll charge the box and see if we can access the greenforce.

CECILE: (skeptical) And what if it doesn't work?

CHESTER: (confidently) It will work. Trust me.

Iris nods, looking determined.

IRIS: Alright then. Let's get to work. We don't have much time.

They all get to work, determined to stop Emerald Archer before it's too late.

INT. STAR LABS - MIND MACHINE ROOM

Cecile sits in the Mind Machine with the wires connected to her head. She focuses and enters the Mind Palace of Emerald the Speedster.

EMERALD: (surprised) Cecile, what are you doing here?

CECILE: (determined) I need to find out what Emerald Archer's plan is. Can you help me?

EMERALD: (pauses) Yes, I can. But be careful, Cecile. You don't know what kind of danger you might face in his mind.

Cecile nods and takes a deep breath. She closes her eyes and concentrates, entering the Mind Palace of Emerald Archer.

Inside, Cecile sees Emerald Archer, who is busy tinkering with his bow and arrows.

CECILE: (speaking to herself) I need to find out what he's planning.

Suddenly, Emerald Archer turns to face her.

EMERALD ARCHER: (smirking) Well, well, well. Look who's decided to drop in.

CECILE: (confidently) I'm not afraid of you.

EMERALD ARCHER: (laughs) Oh, you should be. But since you're here, let me tell you a little secret. I'm planning to steal something from the Green Universe, something that will make me even more powerful than I already am.

CECILE: (alarmed) What is it?

EMERALD ARCHER: (grinning) Sorry, Cecile. That's all the time we have for today. (pauses) But don't worry, you'll find out soon enough.

Suddenly, Cecile is jolted back to reality, her mind being forcibly ejected from the Mind Palace.

CECILE: (breathless) He's planning to steal something from the Green Universe. We have to stop him.

EMERALD: (concerned) What could he possibly want from there?

CECILE: (shaking her head) I don't know. But we have to find out before it's too late.

EXT CENTRAL CITY - DAY

Emerald Archer lands in the middle of the city and looks around, his body glowing with green energy. The citizens of Central City scream and scatter in fear.

EMERALD ARCHER: (loudly) Citizens of Central City! You are witnessing the dawn of a new era! A world without the corrupting influence of billionaires!

As he speaks, green lightning crackles all around him, illuminating his features.

EMERALD ARCHER: (continuing) I have harnessed the power of the Greenforce, and soon I will use it to cleanse every corner of the multiverse!

Suddenly, a loud rumble interrupts him, and he looks up to see a giant green vortex forming in the sky above him.

EMERALD ARCHER: (excitedly) Yes! It's working! The Greenforce is opening the way to other worlds!

The vortex grows larger and larger, and Emerald Archer begins to laugh maniacally as he rises up into the air, surrounded by the swirling green energy.

EMERALD ARCHER: (shouting over the noise) Soon, every billionaire will feel my wrath, and they will all fall before the power of the Greenforce!

As he disappears into the vortex, the citizens of Central City look on in terror and confusion. The scene ends with a shot of the vortex engulfing Emerald Archer, and the sound of his laughter echoing through the air.

FADE IN:

INT. STAR LABS - DAY

Riddleman is sitting by Green Fury's bedside, looking worried.

GREEN FURY (weakly) Riddleman…

RIDDLEMAN (excitedly) Green Fury! You're awake! Can you tell me the answer to the riddle?

Green Fury looks at Riddleman and then looks past him, her eyes widening in fear.

GREEN FURY (whispering) Behind you…

Riddleman turns around just as Speedy Green knocks him out with a swift punch to the head.

SPEEDY GREEN (smiling) Thanks for the assist, Green Fury.

Green Fury looks at Speedy Green with a mix of confusion and fear.

GREEN FURY (weakly) What's going on? Why did you knock out Riddleman?

SPEEDY GREEN (smirking) Oh, don't worry about him. He's just a pawn in our game.

GREEN FURY (struggling to sit up) What game?

SPEEDY GREEN (walking over to her) The game of power. And with the Green Device in our possession, we'll have all the power we need.

Green Fury's eyes widen in shock as Speedy Green pulls out the Green Device from his pocket.

GREEN FURY (fearfully) How did you get that?

SPEEDY GREEN (smirking) Let's just say, it was easier than we thought.

Green Fury looks at the Green Device, realizing the danger that it poses in the wrong hands.

GREEN FURY (urgently) You have to give it back! The Green Device is too dangerous!

SPEEDY GREEN (mockingly) Oh, come on. What's the worst that could happen?

Suddenly, the room shakes as a blast of green energy erupts from the Green Device.

GREEN FURY (fearfully) That. That's the worst that could happen.

Speedy Green grins as he feels the power coursing through him.

SPEEDY GREEN (laughing) This is just the beginning. The world is ours for the taking.

Green Fury looks on in horror as Speedy Green walks out of the room, the Green Device glowing in his hand.

FADE OUT.

EXT GREEN UNIVERSE - COFFEE SHOP

John Diggle Green Lantern walks towards a figure sitting at a table outside the coffee shop.

JOHN: Suit up, we've got a problem.

The figure looks up and reveals himself to be Good Green Barry Allen.

BARRY: (smiling) Problem? That sounds like a job for the Green Team.

JOHN: (chuckles) You know it, partner. We've got Emerald Archer causing chaos in our universe and beyond.

BARRY: (serious) What do we know about him so far?

JOHN: (shrugs) Not much, except that he's powered by Green Energy and has a serious vendetta against billionaires.

BARRY: (nodding) Alright, let's suit up and get to work.

John and Barry exchange some playful green-themed puns and banter as they both put on their Green Lantern rings.

JOHN: (smiling) Let's show him the true power of the Green.

BARRY: (determined) Let's do it.

As they fly off into the blue skies of the Green Universe, the scene fades to black, leaving the audience on a cliffhanger.

INT. JOE AND CECILE'S HOUSE - MORNING

Joe and Cecile are in their pajamas. They move around the house, preparing to leave for the day. Joe picks up his keys from the kitchen counter.

Cecile: (startled) Oh my god, Joe!

Joe: (concerned) What is it, Cecile?

Cecile: I just had a terrible vision about the green sky.

Joe: (skeptical) The green sky? Cecile, that sounds like one of those crazy dreams you get sometimes.

Cecile: (worried) No, it felt real. We need to be careful.

Suddenly, they hear a loud noise and turn to see the door closing and sealing itself. Joe rushes to the door and tries to open it, but it won't budge.

Joe: (panicking) We're sealed in!

Cecile: (freaking out) What's happening, Joe?

Joe takes out his phone and quickly dials Barry on FaceTime.

Barry: (picking up) Hey, Joe. What's going on?

Joe: (worried) Barry, we're trapped inside our house. The door won't open.

Barry: (concerned) I'll be right there. Stay put.

Joe ends the call and turns to Cecile.

Joe: (determined) Don't worry, Cecile. Barry will get us out of here.

Cecile: (nervous) What if it's something dangerous?

Joe: (assuringly) Don't worry, I'm here with you. We'll be okay.

FADE OUT.

INT. STAR LABS - DAY

Speedy Green and Allegra are talking in the hallway of Star Labs.

ALLEGRA: (smiling) Thank you so much for making sure Chester got back safe, Speedy Green.

SPEEDY GREEN: (smiling) No problem at all, Allegra. Just doing my job as a member of Team Flash.

Allegra's smile fades as Speedy Green makes a statement that makes her think he is hitting on her.

SPEEDY GREEN: You know, Allegra, you and I should hang out sometime. Maybe we could get to know each other better.

ALLEGRA: (taken aback) Uh, I'm actually married to Chester.

SPEEDY GREEN: (chuckles) Oh, my bad. I didn't mean to overstep. Just making conversation. (pauses) Well, I better get going. Duty calls. (winks at her) Catch you later, Allegra-gator.

Allegra shakes her head, amused, as Speedy Green walks off, leaving her alone in the hallway.

EXT. A FANCY RESTAURANT - NIGHT

Riddleman and Green Fury sit across from each other at a candlelit table in the restaurant.

Riddleman speaks in riddles, much to Green Fury's confusion.

RIDDLEMAN I am light as a feather, yet even the strongest man cannot hold me for long. What am I?

GREEN FURY (Confused) I don't know.

RIDDLEMAN (Becoming frustrated) Breath.

Green Fury giggles.

GREEN FURY (Laughing) I'm sorry, I'm not good at solving riddles.

RIDDLEMAN (Trying to stay calm) It's okay, it's okay. Here's another one. The more you take, the more you leave behind. What am I?

GREEN FURY (Puzzled) I don't know.

RIDDLEMAN (Exasperated) Footsteps. It's footsteps.

Green Fury apologizes.

GREEN FURY (Sincere) I'm sorry, I'm trying.

RIDDLEMAN (Smiling) It's okay, I'm having a good time anyway.

Green Fury smiles back and they continue with their dinner.

GREEN FURY (Flirting) Your riddles may be too hard for me, but I bet there's something else you're good at.

RIDDLEMAN (Grinning) Oh really? And what would that be?

GREEN FURY (Whispering) Kissing.

She leans over the table and kisses him.

Riddleman smiles, his frustration forgotten for now.

FADE OUT.

Barry parks his car in front of the house and hurries to the front door. He tries the doorknob, but it won't budge. He knocks on the door.

CUT TO:

INT. JOE AND CECILE'S HOUSE - LIVING ROOM

Joe and Cecile are standing in the living room, looking at the front door. Cecile is holding her phone, which is on FaceTime with Barry.

CECILE (to Barry, worried) We're completely sealed in here. We can't get out.

BARRY (through the phone) Don't worry, Cecile. I'll get you out.

Joe walks over to Cecile and puts his arm around her.

JOE (to Barry, reassuringly) We appreciate it, Barry. You always come through.

Barry nods, determination in his eyes.

BARRY (to Joe and Cecile) I'm going to try to phase through the door. Stay back.

Barry steps back and takes a deep breath. He then enters Flashtime and speeds towards the door. He phases his hand through the door, but it's like hitting a brick wall.

BARRY (CONT'D) (to himself, frustrated) What the…

Barry steps back out of Flashtime and returns to real-time.

CECILE (to Barry, concerned) What's wrong?

BARRY (shaking his head) I can't phase through the door. It's like it's made of something I've never seen before.

JOE (to Barry, worried) Barry, we have to get out of here. What are we going to do?

Barry thinks for a moment, then his face lights up.

BARRY (optimistic) Don't worry, Joe. We'll figure this out.

Barry looks around the outside of the house, studying the structure. He then takes a deep breath and runs towards the house at super speed.

Barry runs around the perimeter of the house, building up speed. He then takes a deep breath and runs up the side of the house, running along the roof.

Joe and Cecile hear a loud thump on the roof.

JOE (to Cecile) What the hell was that?

CUT TO:

EXT. JOE AND CECILE'S HOUSE - DAY

Barry jumps off the roof and lands in front of the house, a large object in his arms.

BARRY (panting) Joe, Cecile, I got it.

Barry reveals the object in his arms: a large industrial-sized drill.

BARRY (CONT'D) (grinning) We're going to drill our way out of here.

FADE TO BLACK.

INT. STAR LABS - DAY

Allegra walks over to Snow-Green, who is busy examining some test tubes.

ALLEGRA: Hey, Snow-Green. I need to talk to you about something.

SNOW-GREEN: (looking up) Sure, what's up?

ALLEGRA: (whispering) I think Speedy Green is trying to hit on me.

SNOW-GREEN: (chuckles) Oh, he's just being friendly. Those Green Universe guys are all like that.

ALLEGRA: But I'm married to Chester.

SNOW-GREEN: (smirks) Yeah, I know. But a girl can still appreciate a good-looking superhero, can't she?

Allegra gives Snow-Green a look of confusion and concern.

ALLEGRA: I guess so… But it still makes me uncomfortable.

SNOW-GREEN: (shrugs) Just try to take it as a compliment. And hey, look over there. (nods towards Emerald Archer) At least you're not being stalked by your Green Universe counterpart.

Allegra looks over to see Emerald Archer standing in the corner, glaring at her boyfriend, who is actually Green Ronnie in disguise.

ALLEGRA: (rolling her eyes) Yeah, I guess you're right.

Snow-Green chuckles and goes back to her work as Allegra leaves, still feeling a bit uneasy.

FADE IN:

EXT. PARK - DAY

Riddleman and Green Fury are walking hand in hand in the park. They stop at a pond and feed the ducks.

RIDDLEMAN: (reading a riddle) What has a heart that doesn't beat?

GREEN FURY: (smiling) I don't know, what is it?

RIDDLEMAN: (anxious) An artichoke, Green! It's obvious!

GREEN FURY: (laughing) Oh, I see it now! Sorry, I'm not very good with riddles.

RIDDLEMAN: (angrily) Well, you don't have to be Sherlock Holmes to solve them!

Green Fury looks taken aback by his outburst.

GREEN FURY: (softly) What's going on, Riddleman? You've been acting strange all night.

RIDDLEMAN: (exploding) I'm just sick and tired of you not getting my riddles! You're not like the Riddle Universe version of Sue Dearbon, who is the best riddle solver I know!

Green Fury's eyes widen with shock.

GREEN FURY: (angrily) That's it! I'm done with your riddles and your attitude, Riddleman! I'm outta here!

Green Fury walks off, leaving Riddleman standing alone by the swings.

RIDDLEMAN: (to himself) What have I done?

FADE OUT.

FADE IN:

EXT. JOE AND CECILE'S HOUSE - DAY

Barry is using his lightning powers to drill through the door of Joe and Cecile's house. He looks frustrated and exhausted.

BARRY: (to himself) Come on, come on!

Suddenly, a voice interrupts him from behind.

VILLAIN: (chuckles) You're wasting your time, Flash. You won't be able to break through my seal.

Barry turns around to face the villain.

BARRY: Who are you? What do you want?

VILLAIN: I am the Sealer. And I want to show the world that I am the greatest villain of them all.

Barry's face turns serious.

BARRY: You won't get away with this.

SEALER: (chuckles) We'll see about that.

The Sealer creates a force field around himself and starts to walk away.

BARRY: (enters Flashtime) What do I do, Speedforce?

SPEEDFORCE: (voice-over) You need to find the source of the sealing power and neutralize it.

Barry looks around and sees that the seal is coming from a small device on the ground.

BARRY: Got it.

Barry approaches the device and phases his hand through it, short-circuiting the seal. The Sealer looks surprised and starts to run away.

BARRY: (pursuing him) It's over, Sealer.

FADE OUT.

FADE IN:

INT. STAR LABS - DAY

Chester storms into the room and confronts Speedy Green.

CHESTER: (angrily) What the hell is your problem, man? You're hitting on my wife!

SPEEDY GREEN: (sarcastically) Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't realize that Allegra was married to such a puny guy.

Chester looks furious at the insult.

CHESTER: (fuming) You better watch your mouth, Speedy. Or maybe I should send you back to the Green Universe!

SPEEDY GREEN: (smiling smugly) Maybe I should have left you there instead!

Chester and Speedy Green continue to exchange angry puns, each one getting more creative than the last.

Suddenly, Emerald Archer appears from behind the corner.

EMERALD ARCHER: (interrupting) Hey, hey, what's going on here?

Chester and Speedy Green stop fighting and look over at Emerald Archer.

EMERALD ARCHER: (cont'd) Come on, guys, there's no need for this. We're all on the same team here.

CHESTER: (still angry) Yeah, but he was hitting on my wife!

SPEEDY GREEN: (defensive) I wasn't hitting on her! She's just fun to flirt with.

EMERALD ARCHER: (skeptical) Uh-huh, sure. Look, why don't we all just take a deep breath and calm down? We've got more important things to worry about, like getting Joe and Cecile out of that sealed house.

Chester and Speedy Green reluctantly agree and the three of them head off to help Barry.

FADE OUT.

FADE IN:

EXT. CENTRAL CITY - DAY

Barry confronts The Sealer, who raises his hands and shoots a beam of energy towards Barry.

BARRY: (reacting quickly) Not today!

Barry runs towards The Sealer at super speed and dodges his attack.

BARRY: (angrily) What's your game, Sealer?

THE SEALER: (smirking) My game is to seal everyone and everything, Flash. And now, it's time for you to be sealed.

The Sealer aims his sealing blast at Barry's mouth, but Barry moves quickly, and the blast misses.

BARRY: (determined) You can't seal me, Sealer! I won't let you!

THE SEALER: (laughing) We'll see about that.

The Sealer shoots another sealing blast at Barry, but Barry is too fast and dodges it again.

BARRY: (giving a speech) You can't seal love, Sealer. Love is a force that can't be contained or controlled.

THE SEALER: (irritated) What does love have to do with this?

BARRY: (smiling) Everything.

Barry speeds around The Sealer, and before he can react, Barry grabs The Sealer's hands and spins him around, causing The Sealer to seal his own hands together.

BARRY: (triumphantly) Gotcha!

The Sealer falls to the ground, defeated.

FADE OUT.

FADE IN:

INT. STAR LABS - DAY

Riddleman enters Star Labs and walks up to Iris, who is typing on her computer.

RIDDLEMAN: (a riddle) What has a brain but doesn't think, and talks but doesn't speak?

IRIS: (smiling) I believe the answer you're looking for is "a computer". And no, I haven't seen Green Fury today. Is everything okay?

RIDDLEMAN: (a riddle) What can be broken but is never held?

IRIS: (thinking) I'm not sure, Riddleman. What is it?

RIDDLEMAN: (sighing) A promise. Green Fury and I had a fight. I told her I wish she was the Riddle Universe Version of Sue Dearbon.

IRIS: (surprised) Wow, Riddleman. That's a bit harsh. Have you talked to her about how you feel?

RIDDLEMAN: (defeated) No, I haven't. I just get so frustrated when she can't solve my riddles.

IRIS: (seriously) Relationships are about compromise, Riddleman. You can't expect her to be just like you. You need to accept each other's differences and work together to find a solution.

RIDDLEMAN: (thoughtful) You're right, Iris. I need to talk to her and apologize.

IRIS: (smiling) I'm sure she'll appreciate that, Riddleman.

RIDDLEMAN nods, thanks Iris and heads out of the lab.

FADE OUT.

FADE IN:

INT. STAR LABS - DAY

Emerald Archer and Emerald are sitting in the break room, drinking coffee and chatting.

EMERALD ARCHER: So, have you ever thought about what would happen if we crossed over to another Earth in the multiverse?

EMERALD: (smiling) Actually, I have. I heard that on one of the Earths, there's a version of me that's a successful entrepreneur.

EMERALD ARCHER: (laughs) Well, I'm sure that's not too far from the truth. There are infinite possibilities out there.

Emerald's smile fades as the tone of the conversation shifts.

EMERALD: Is everything okay, Emerald Archer? You seem to be giving me the third degree.

EMERALD ARCHER: (slightly defensive) No, no, I'm just curious. You know, with all the craziness that goes on around here, it's always good to be prepared.

EMERALD: (nodding) I understand. But don't worry, I'm just a lowly intern. I don't have any big secrets.

Emerald Archer's eyes narrow, making Emerald feel uneasy.

EMERALD: (trying to lighten the mood) Hey, did you hear the one about the multiverse version of Chester? He crossed over to an Earth where he was a superhero, but he still couldn't get a date.

Emerald Archer cracks a small smile, but the tension between the two remains.

EMERALD ARCHER: (sighs) I'm sorry, Emerald. I didn't mean to make you feel uncomfortable. It's just…I've been burned before.

EMERALD: (smiling) I get it. It's a crazy world out there. But hey, we're all on the same team, right?

Emerald Archer nods, and the two go back to drinking their coffee in silence.

FADE OUT.

INT. JOE AND CECILE'S HOME - LIVING ROOM - DAY

Barry uses his powers to break the seal on the door and enters the house. Joe and Cecile are sitting on the couch, looking relieved to see him.

BARRY: Hey, guys. Are you okay?

JOE: We're fine now, thanks to you.

CECILE: Yeah, Barry, how did you do it?

Barry hesitates for a moment, thinking about Joe's joke.

BARRY: (laughing nervously) Oh, you know, just the power of… uh, some quick thinking.

JOE: (winking) Or maybe it was the power of love.

Barry chuckles, trying to hide his discomfort.

BARRY: (laughing) Right, the power of love.

CECILE: (skeptical) Is everything okay, Barry? You seem a bit off.

BARRY: (shaking his head) No, no, I'm fine. I just… it's been a long day.

JOE: (smiling) Well, let's make it better. You want to grab some pizza later? My treat.

BARRY: (grinning) I'd like that, Joe. Thanks.

CECILE: (smiling) And we can finally catch up with each other. It's been too long.

BARRY: (nodding) Yeah, I'd like that.

INT. STAR LABS - DAY

Riddleman finds Green Fury behind the hidden wall, crying.

RIDDLEMAN: (playfully) Why did the tomato turn red?

Green Fury doesn't respond.

RIDDLEMAN: (concerned) Hey, what's going on? Are you okay?

GREEN FURY: (tearfully) I just can't seem to solve your riddles, and you always compare me to the Riddle Universe version of Sue Dearbon.

RIDDLEMAN: (apologetically) I'm sorry, Green. I didn't mean to make you feel that way. I don't need you to solve my riddles. I can do that on my own. I just enjoy spending time with you.

GREEN FURY: (surprised) You do?

RIDDLEMAN: (sincerely) Yes. I love being with you, Green. And I don't need you to be a riddle solver. I just need you to be you.

Green Fury is taken aback by his confession.

GREEN FURY: (surprised) Did you just say…love?

Riddleman nods.

GREEN FURY: (pause) I don't know what to say.

RIDDLEMAN: (smiling) You don't have to say anything.

Riddleman leans in and kisses her passionately. Green Fury responds and the two continue kissing for a moment.

GREEN FURY: (pulling back) I don't know if I love you yet, but I know that I care about you. And I want to be with you.

RIDDLEMAN: (sincerely) That's all I want, Green.

They share a smile and embrace each other.

FADE OUT.

Chester and Allegra apologize to Speedy Green.

CHESTER: I'm sorry, man. I didn't mean to step on your toes.

ALLEGRA: Yeah, we're cool, right?

Speedy Green shrugs.

SPEEDY GREEN: It's fine. I don't mind a little friendly competition.

CHESTER: Cool. So, we're still on for game night tonight, right?

ALLEGRA: Absolutely.

SPEEDY GREEN: (smiling) Wouldn't miss it for the world.

As Chester and Allegra laugh, Speedy Green reaches a hand into his pocket and presses a button. But nobody notices.

CHESTER: (to Speedy Green) Hey, you got any good puns for tonight?

SPEEDY GREEN: (grinning) Do I ever! Let's just say, you guys are in for a real "arrowing" experience.

ALLEGRA: (rolling her eyes) Oh boy.

The group continues to laugh and joke, completely unaware of what Speedy Green has done.

FADE OUT.

FADE IN:

INT. PIZZA PLACE - NIGHT

Barry, Iris, Joe, and Cecile are having pizza dinner. They are all laughing and chatting, enjoying their time together. Joe makes a joke and everyone laughs.

JOE (to Barry and Iris) You two better not start making out like Chester and Allegra did. We don't need to see that kind of PDA.

Everyone laughs again, but suddenly, Barry's expression changes. His face goes pale, and he clutches his chest.

BARRY (struggling to speak) Guys, I don't feel so good.

Iris rushes to Barry's side.

IRIS Barry, what's wrong?

Barry tries to speak, but he can't form any words. He collapses onto the floor, unconscious. Everyone panics, and Cecile calls 911.

CECILE (into phone) Yes, we need an ambulance right away. My son-in-law has passed out.

Joe and Iris try to wake up Barry, but he remains unresponsive. The ambulance arrives, and the paramedics take Barry away on a stretcher. Iris and the others follow them out, worried and scared.

FADE OUT.

EXT. STAR LABS - NIGHT

Emerald Archer and Speedy Green are standing outside Star Labs, looking around cautiously.

EMERALD ARCHER (whispering) Did you activate the Green Device, Speedy Green?

SPEEDY GREEN (smiling) (whispering) You know it, Em. The universe is about to get a whole lot greener.

Emerald Archer nods, a small smirk on his face.

EMERALD ARCHER (whispering) Good. Then it's time we took the next step. It's time this universe really went green.

Suddenly, a loud explosion is heard in the distance, and the ground shakes.

EMERALD ARCHER (alarmed) What the hell was that?

SPEEDY GREEN (looking worried) I don't know, but we better check it out.

They both run towards the source of the explosion, as the camera fades to black.

FADE OUT.

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.

INT. STAR LABS - DAY

SNOW-GREEN is pacing around the lab, talking on the Star Labs phone. IRIS, ALLEGRA, and RIDDLEMAN are all huddled around a computer, scouring the internet for any signs of Barry or Chester.

JOE WEST (V.O) (on the phone) Snow-Green, we've got a situation over here. There's a new villain in town, and they're causing chaos at CC Jitters.

SNOW-GREEN (into the phone) What kind of villain, Joe?

JOE WEST (V.O) (on the phone) A bread-based one. They're stealing all the flour, and the police can't seem to catch them.

SNOW-GREEN (into the phone) Alright, I'll send Emerald over to handle it.

SNOW-GREEN hangs up the phone and turns to EMERALD, who is getting ready to leave.

SNOW-GREEN (to Emerald) Go get 'em, sweetie.

EMERALD (smiling) Will do, Snow-Green.

EMERALD gives Snow-Green a kiss and heads out the door.

IRIS (looking up from the computer) Any luck finding anything, guys?

ALLEGRA (frustrated) No, nothing yet. It's like they've both vanished into thin air.

RIDDLEMAN (looking worried) I hope they're alright.

Suddenly, the phone rings again. Snow-Green answers it.

JOE WEST (V.O) (on the phone) Snow-Green, it's Joe again. I just wanted to check in, and see if you guys have found anything yet.

SNOW-GREEN (into the phone) No, Joe. We're still searching.

JOE WEST (V.O) (on the phone) Alright, well keep me updated. Oh, and one more thing. The sky's turning green.

SNOW-GREEN (into the phone) We noticed, Joe.

Snow-Green hangs up the phone, looking concerned. Iris, Allegra, and Riddleman all look up at the green sky, worried about what this could mean.

IRIS (whispering) What does it mean, guys?

ALLEGRA (whispering) I have a bad feeling about this.

RIDDLEMAN (whispering) Me too.

FADE TO BLACK.

INT. GREEN UNIVERSE CAVE - DAY

CHESTER (disoriented) What the…where am I?

Chester rubs his eyes, trying to adjust to his new surroundings. He looks around, taking in the green walls of the cave.

CHESTER (stunned) This can't be real. Am I in the green universe?

Chester exits the cave and sees that the world outside looks normal, except everything is green. He looks up at the sky and sees that it's blue.

CHESTER (joking) Well, I guess this answers the question of what the green universe looks like.

Chester makes his way towards the green universe version of Star Labs, still trying to wrap his head around what has happened to him.

CHESTER (to himself) I hope everyone is okay. I need to find out what happened and how to get back to the real universe.

Chester approaches the entrance of the green universe version of Star Labs, and sees that everything looks the same, except it's green. He takes a deep breath and walks inside.

FADE TO BLACK.

FADE IN:

INT. TIME VOID - DAY

Barry is standing in the middle of a white, featureless void. The Speedforce, a bright, white energy entity, is speaking to him.

SPEEDFORCE: Barry, listen to me. Your friends are safe. They're all alive and well, mostly in the correct universes.

BARRY: What do you mean "mostly in the correct universes"? That wasn't part of the deal!

SPEEDFORCE: It's a small setback, Barry. Trust me, you're doing the right thing.

Barry looks worried, but the Speedforce's energy is comforting.

SPEEDFORCE: Just stay the course, Barry. You'll see the results of your actions soon enough.

Barry nods, still looking unsure. The scene ends on a shot of Barry, lost in thought.

FADE OUT.

INT. STAR LABS LAB - DAY

Allegra is sitting at a desk, looking at Riddleman who is engrossed in his phone. She turns to him with a look of annoyance.

ALLEGRA: (sighs) What's so important that you're ignoring me, Riddleman?

RIDDLEMAN: (looks up, sheepishly) Oh, sorry Allegra. I'm just trying to find a riddle universe version of Sue Dearbon that's not evil.

ALLEGRA: (unimpressed) Really? You're searching for a girlfriend while Barry is missing?

RIDDLEMAN: (apologetic) I know, I know. It's just, I'm really lonely. And I was hoping to find someone who understands me.

ALLEGRA: (sighs) Well, maybe you should try to focus on finding Barry instead.

RIDDLEMAN: (nods) You're right. I'm sorry. (clears throat) Want to hear a fun riddle to cheer you up?

ALLEGRA: (sighs) Sure, let's hear it.

RIDDLEMAN: (smiling) What starts with E, ends with E, but only contains one letter?

Allegra rolls her eyes.

ALLEGRA: (disinterested) Envelope.

RIDDLEMAN: (deflated) Oh. Yeah, you're right. (sighs) I'll keep searching for answers.

Allegra gives Riddleman a small smile, then returns to her work. The camera zooms out as the two continue to work in silence, their minds preoccupied with the search for Barry and Chester.

INT. CC Jitters Bakery - DAY

Emerald flies into the bakery, dodging a few of the marbles that are being shot at him by the new villain. He lands on the ground and looks around, taking in the situation.

VILLAIN (laughing) Surrender now, Emerald, or face the consequences of the rising dough!

Emerald narrows his eyes and extends his hand, shooting a green energy blast at the villain. The villain dodges the blast, grabs a bag of flour, and tosses it into the air. The flour begins to swirl around her, forming into a tornado-like shape.

VILLAIN Meet your baker, the one and only, Sourdough!

Emerald flies up into the air, dodging the marbles and the swirling flour. He zips around the bakery, firing energy blasts at Sourdough. She deflects each one with ease, laughing maniacally.

SOURDOUGH You can't defeat me, Emerald! I am the queen of the bakery!

Emerald pauses for a moment, thinking. Then, he flies over to the bakery's oven, opens the door, and starts firing energy blasts inside. The heat from the oven begins to rise, and soon the entire bakery is filled with the smell of fresh-baked bread.

EMERALD But I am the king of the kitchen!

Sourdough's eyes widen as she sees the heat from the oven. She starts to shrink down, the flour tornado around her dissipating. She lands on the ground, now just a small pile of flour.

SOURDOUGH (defeated) How did you do that?

Emerald lands on the ground, standing over Sourdough.

EMERALD I simply turned up the heat.

Emerald reaches down and picks up the pile of flour, tossing it into a nearby trash can.

EMERALD (cont'd) Looks like you're all kneaded out.

The scene fades to black as Emerald smiles, pleased with himself.

INT. GREEN UNIVERSE STAR LABS - DAY

Chester walks in and looks around, noticing that everything is green. He makes his way to the main room where he sees another Chester.

CHESTER (Surprised) Twins?!

GREEN UNIVERSE CHESTER (Grinning) Twice the speed, twice the fun.

Chester walks up to Green Universe Chester, and looks at him in amazement.

CHESTER (Excited) Hey, we should be friends. I’ll call you "Speedy Green”.

GREEN UNIVERSE CHESTER (Laughing) I like it!

They fist bump each other, and Chester feels relieved to have a friend in this green universe.

CHESTER (Smiling) So, what’s the deal here in the green universe?

GREEN UNIVERSE CHESTER (Serious) It’s a long story, but we have our own set of problems. But first, let’s grab a green-themed drink.

Chester and Green Universe Chester walk off-screen, leaving the Star Labs and ready to explore the green universe together.

FADE OUT.

INT. STAR LABS - CONTINUOUS

Iris, Snow-Green, and Allegra are all glued to the TV screen, watching a news broadcast.

NEWSCASTER (On TV) Breaking news! The new speedster hero Emerald has just committed a heinous act of murder in downtown Central City.

Snow-Green gasps and puts a hand to her mouth, while Iris and Allegra exchange worried glances.

NEWSCASTER (CONT'D) (On TV) The victim is the new villain Sourdough, who was attempting to rob the CC Jitters Bakery. According to eyewitnesses, Emerald used his super speed to brutally attack and kill Sourdough. We urge anyone with information about this dangerous vigilante to come forward.

The newscaster then shifts to another topic.

NEWSCASTER (CONT'D) (On TV) In other news, the strange green sky that has been hovering over Central City has yet to be explained, and the police are investigating. Some citizens have even pointed the finger at Emerald, claiming that he is responsible for the bizarre phenomenon.

Suddenly, Emerald bursts into the room.

EMERALD What's going on? Is everyone okay?

Snow-Green runs to him and gives him a tight hug.

SNOW-GREEN (whispering) I'm so worried about you. Are you okay?

EMERALD (hugging back) I'm fine. But we have bigger problems. I didn't kill Sourdough. I turned her into flour and threw her in the garbage. Something weird is going on here.

Iris, Snow-Green, and Allegra all look at each other, clearly surprised by his explanation.

SNOW-GREEN (confused) You turned her into flour?

EMERALD (nodding) Yes. She's not dead. I would never do something like that.

IRIS (skeptical) Then who did? And why would they blame you?

EMERALD (shrugging) I don't know. But I need to clear my name and find out what's going on.

ALLEGRA (determined) We'll help you. We're in this together.

The group nods in agreement, determined to uncover the truth and clear Emerald's name.

INT. GREEN STAR LABS - NIGHT

Chester and Speedy Green sit at the bar, sipping Appletinis.

SPEEDY GREEN So, that's what's been going on with me. What about you? How'd you end up in our universe?

CHESTER (sips his drink) It's a long story. I was helping out Barry and the others when we stumbled upon a riddle explosion. Snow-Green and Emerald stopped it, but I got sucked into a portal and ended up here.

SPEEDY GREEN (runs a hand through his hair) Wow, that's insane. So, what's the deal with Emerald? He's causing a lot of trouble in our city.

CHESTER (shrugs) It's complicated. See, in my universe, Green Ronnie fused with Green Thawne to become Emerald.

SPEEDY GREEN (narrows his eyes) Green Thawne? The one who tried to destroy our world?

CHESTER (nods) Yeah, that's the one. But now he's a hero. He's trying to make up for his past mistakes.

SPEEDY GREEN (skeptical) I don't know, man. Sounds too good to be true.

CHESTER (defensive) I swear it's the truth. He's a good guy. And he's been trying to stop this crazy villain who's been causing all sorts of chaos.

SPEEDY GREEN (interested) Tell me more about this villain.

Chester starts to explain, but is interrupted by the sound of a bow being drawn. They turn to see a new arrival: Emerald Archer.

EMERALD ARCHER (smiling) Sorry to interrupt, boys. I couldn't help but overhear. Mind if I join in?

Chester and Speedy Green welcome him, intrigued by the newcomer. They begin to chat, trading jokes and riddles, enjoying each other's company. The night is filled with laughter and good times.

INT. TIME VOID - CONTINUOUS

Barry is still floating in the Time Void, arguing with the Speed Force.

BARRY (desperately) I need more time! I need to fix what's wrong!

SPEED FORCE You've had enough time, Barry. You've made your choices, and now you must face the consequences.

BARRY (frustrated) But I can't fix this alone. I need my team. I need their help.

SPEED FORCE Your team can't help you now, Barry. This is your burden to bear.

BARRY (voice rising) But I can't do this alone! I need more time!

Suddenly, a bright light appears in the distance. It grows brighter and brighter until it engulfs Barry.

BARRY (shields his eyes) What's happening?

SPEED FORCE You have one more chance, Barry. Use it wisely.

The light fades, and Barry finds himself back in his own time.

BARRY (looking around, confused) What just happened?

He realizes that he's standing in front of his team, who are all staring at him.

BARRY (CONT'D) (to his team) Guys, I need your help. We have to fix what's wrong. We have to save the timeline.

The team nods, ready to follow Barry's lead.

CUT TO BLACK.

INT. STAR LABS - MAIN HALLWAY - DAY

Barry steps out of the time portal and looks around, disoriented. Allegra rushes up to him and throws her arms around him in a tight hug.

ALLEGRA (relieved) Barry! You're back! Where's Chester?

BARRY (still disoriented) I don't know. I've been stuck in the Time Void. What's been happening?

ALLEGRA (tearfully) It's been chaos. Chester disappeared and we don't know where he is. We've been trying to find him, but there's been no luck.

Barry looks at Allegra sympathetically, then tries to cheer her up with a joke.

BARRY (smiling) You know what Chester would say in a situation like this? He'd say, "Why did the scarecrow win an award? Because he was outstanding in his field!"

Allegra looks at Barry, clearly not amused.

ALLEGRA (sadly) That's not funny, Barry. I just want to find Chester.

Snow-Green chuckles at the exchange, but Emerald motions for her to be quiet.

EMERALD (to Barry) We need to focus on finding Chester. Do you have any idea where he could be?

Barry shakes his head, still trying to get his bearings.

BARRY I don't know. But we need to hurry. Time is running out.

The group nods in agreement, determined to find their missing friend.

INT. GREEN STAR LABS - DAY

Emerald Archer, Chester, and Speedy Green stand in the lab, examining a holographic projection of the sky.

EMERALD ARCHER (gesturing to the projection) Do you see this? The sky is blue instead of green. It's wrong, and it's affecting the balance of our universe.

CHESTER (scratching his head) Hmm, that is weird. Do you think it has something to do with the portal I came through?

EMERALD ARCHER (considering the idea) It's possible. But there's no way to know for sure. We need to figure out what's causing this, and fast.

SPEEDY GREEN (nodding in agreement) I'll get started on running some simulations on my Green Computer. Maybe I can pinpoint the source of the problem.

CHESTER (turning to Emerald Archer) So, who are you, exactly? You said you're the Green Universe version of Oliver Queen, but what does that mean?

EMERALD ARCHER (sighing) It's complicated. In my universe, Oliver Queen is the Green Arrow, just like in yours. But he also took up the mantle of the Emerald Archer, using his archery skills to harness the power of the Green.

CHESTER (nodding along) Okay, that makes sense. But why did you come here?

EMERALD ARCHER (looking serious) Because something is seriously wrong with our universe. The Green is fading, and I fear that if we don't act soon, it could be lost forever.

CHESTER (trying to lighten the mood) Well, it's a good thing we've got the Green Computer and the Green Brainiac on the case. We'll get to the bottom of this.

EMERALD ARCHER (smiling for the first time) I hope you're right, Chester. We need all the help we can get.

The three of them turn their attention back to the holographic projection, determined to solve the mystery of the blue sky and save the Green Universe from destruction.

INT. STAR LABS - DAY

Emerald and Snow-Green are sitting in front of a computer, frantically typing away. Emerald looks up from the screen with a worried expression.

EMERALD: There's a possibility that Chester is in the Green Universe.

SNOW-GREEN: (trying to lighten the mood) Well, the sky is green, after all.

Emerald doesn't find the joke funny and turns back to the computer.

EMERALD: This is serious. The green sky could signify something catastrophic.

SNOW-GREEN: (sighing) I know, I'm sorry. It's just a defense mechanism. I'm scared too.

EMERALD: We need to find out what's causing this. It could be the work of a villain, or something worse.

SNOW-GREEN: (nodding) I'll keep researching. There has to be a way to fix this.

Emerald nods, deep in thought. He knows that time is of the essence and they need to act quickly before it's too late.

INT. REGULAR STAR LABS - DAY

Emerald is typing on the computer while Snow-Green reads a book beside him. Suddenly, a loud knocking on the door interrupts them.

Emerald stands up and walks to the door. He looks through the peephole and sees a group of police officers.

EMERALD: (to Snow-Green) We've got company.

He opens the door, and the officers barge in, immediately surrounding Emerald.

EMERALD: (firmly) What is the meaning of this?

OFFICER: You're under arrest for the murder of Sourdough.

Emerald looks shocked, but he quickly regains his composure.

EMERALD: That's impossible. I didn't do it.

OFFICER: Save it for the judge.

Emerald looks back at Snow-Green, who has stood up and is watching the scene with concern.

EMERALD: (to Snow-Green) Tell the others what's happened. I need a lawyer.

SNOW-GREEN: I'm on it.

As Emerald is escorted out of the lab in handcuffs, Barry and Iris enter.

BARRY: What's going on?

SNOW-GREEN: (to Barry) Emerald's been arrested for Sourdough's murder.

BARRY: (surprised) What? How did we miss that?

IRIS: It happened while you were in the time void.

BARRY: (defeated) Great.

IRIS: But we can't just sit here. We have to do something to help him.

BARRY: (optimistic) We will. We'll get him out of jail totally legally, for real.

Snow-Green follows the officers outside, and the scene cuts to black.

EXT. STAR LABS - NIGHT

Snow-Green stands outside Star Labs, watching as the police car drives away with Emerald inside. Tears stream down her face.

SNOW-GREEN (sobbing) Ronnie, no…

She continues to cry as a motorcycle engine revs in the distance. Snow-Green turns to see a figure on a green hard-light motorcycle speeding towards her. The motorcycle pulls up next to her, and the rider removes their helmet, revealing a young woman with short green hair.

MYSTERY WOMAN Hey, you okay?

Snow-Green sniffles and looks at the woman.

SNOW-GREEN (voice trembling) I don't know. Ronnie…he's gone.

MYSTERY WOMAN I know. I heard what happened. But listen, we can still save him.

SNOW-GREEN (looks at the woman, confused) Who are you?

MYSTERY WOMAN (call me voice) You can call me Green Fury. And I'm here to help.

Snow-Green looks at Green Fury, unsure of what to make of her. The scene ends with a shot of the two of them standing outside Star Labs, with the green sky above them.

EXT. REGULAR STAR LABS - NIGHT

John Diggle, the Green Lantern, bursts through the wall, sending debris flying everywhere. He looks around urgently and spots Barry.

GREEN LANTERN Barry, we need to talk.

BARRY (startled) John, what's going on?

GREEN LANTERN (focused) I don't have much time. There's something big coming, and I need your help to stop it.

BARRY (concerned) What is it? What's happening?

GREEN LANTERN (somberly) A threat to the multiverse. We need to act fast.

BARRY (determined) I'm with you. What can we do?

GREEN LANTERN (intense) We have to stop it before it's too late.

BARRY (nods) Let's do this.

As they get ready to leave, Green Lantern turns to Barry and recites his famous oath.

GREEN LANTERN "In brightest day, in blackest night, no evil shall escape my sight. Let those who worship evil's might, beware my power… Green Lantern's light!"

The scene ends with Barry and Green Lantern running out of the lab, determined to face this new threat.

EXT. GREEN UNIVERSE CC JITTERS - DAY

A man who looks exactly like Barry Allen is sipping coffee in front of the cafe. Suddenly, a woman and a child approach him, staring with suspicion.

WOMAN (excitedly) Are you Evil Barry?

GOOD GREEN BARRY (chuckles) No, I'm not him. I'm the Good Green Barry.

CHILD (skeptically) You're a superhero?

GOOD GREEN BARRY (smiling) Yes, I am. And I'm the fastest man alive.

The woman looks at Good Green Barry with amazement and asks:

WOMAN Can we have your autograph, please?

Good Green Barry takes a pen and paper, signs it with his new superhero name and hands it over to them.

GOOD GREEN BARRY There you go.

As the woman and the child walk away, Good Green Barry looks up at the sky and realizes something's amiss.

GOOD GREEN BARRY (muttering) That's odd.

He looks up again, and the sky is now blue.

GOOD GREEN BARRY (to himself) The sky… it's supposed to be green.

The scene ends with Good Green Barry looking up at the sky with a confused expression on his face.

FADE TO BLACK.

INT. RIDDLE CAVE - DAY

Riddleman is still in his cage, next to Oliver. Mystery Malone is busy setting up bombs around the door to the ultimate riddle of the universe.

RIDDLEMAN (trying to appeal to Mystery Malone) Hey Mystery, do you want to hear a cute riddle? Why did the scarecrow win an award?

MYSTERY MALONE (uninterested) I don't have time for riddles, Riddleman.

RIDDLEMAN (persistent) Because he was outstanding in his field.

Mystery Malone gives Riddleman a stern look, her demeanor unyielding.

MYSTERY MALONE (serious) My good side died along with my father, Riddleman. The only person I really trust now is Cheater Wells.

Oliver puts a hand on Riddleman's shoulder, trying to comfort him.

OLIVER (reassuring) It's okay, Riddleman. We'll figure a way out of this.

Cheater Wells and Mystery Malone embrace as the bombs continue to tick down.

FADE TO BLACK.

INT. RIDDLE CAVE - DAY

Oliver is frantically trying to get Cheater Wells' attention, while Riddleman looks defeated in the corner.

OLIVER (urgently) Wells! Listen to me, this is no joke. Destroying that door will destroy the entire universe and time itself!

Cheater Wells turns to Oliver, a smirk on his face.

CHEATER WELLS (skeptical) Jokes, Oliver? I don't deal in jokes. Only mysteries.

Mystery Malone overhears this and chuckles, walking over to Cheater Wells and wrapping an arm around his waist.

MYSTERY MALONE (laughing) Good one, my love.

Riddleman watches the two of them, a sulky expression on his face.

RIDDLEMAN (sadly) Why is a riddle like a kiss?

OLIVER (concerned) What do you mean?

RIDDLEMAN (sighing) Because it's sweet and simple, but always hard to solve.

Oliver pats Riddleman on the back, trying to comfort him as the bombs continue ticking down.

FADE TO BLACK.

INT. RIDDLE CAVE - DAY

Barry Allen, aka The Flash, approaches the entrance to the Riddle Cave. As he nears the door, a figure steps out from the shadows. It's Cheater Wells, the notorious villain.

CHEATER WELLS (grinning) Ah, The Flash. I was wondering when you'd show up.

BARRY (determined) What have you done with Oliver and Riddleman?

CHEATER WELLS (smiling slyly) I have a two-minute mystery for you. Are you ready?

BARRY (resolute) Just tell me where they are.

CHEATER WELLS (gesturing with his hand) You'll have to solve the mystery to find out.

He starts to recount a complex, intricate mystery that takes up almost two minutes of screen time. Barry listens intently, trying to figure out the answer. The scene ends with a cliffhanger, leaving the audience wondering what the solution to the mystery might be.

INT. RIDDLE CAVE - DAY

Barry stands outside the entrance of the cave, facing Cheater Wells.

BARRY (smiling) You know, Wells, I'm pretty good at solving mysteries. So, what's the big riddle you have for me this time?

CHEATER WELLS (smirking) Oh, this one is a doozy, Barry. I'll give you two minutes to solve it.

BARRY (challenging) Two minutes? I can solve this in two seconds.

CHEATER WELLS (laughing) Go ahead then, speedster. Let's see what you've got.

Barry focuses, his mind working fast as he solves the mystery in no time.

BARRY (triumphant) Got it!

Cheater Wells looks surprised, but impressed.

CHEATER WELLS (impressed) Well done, Barry. You truly are the fastest man alive.

Barry smirks, feeling proud of himself.

BARRY (smirking) I'm just getting started.

Barry activates his Flash Watch, entering Flashtime, and runs into the cave. He sees the bomb and attempts to defuse it, but quickly realizes that it's too complicated.

BARRY (frustrated) Oh, come on!

Barry looks around, trying to figure out a solution. He then has an idea and quickly exits the cave, running towards Star Labs.

CUT TO:

INT. STAR LABS - DAY

Barry bursts into the room, grabbing Chester.

BARRY (excited) Chester! I need your help.

Chester looks up, surprised to see Barry.

CHESTER (surprised) What is it, Barry? What's going on?

BARRY (urgently) We've got a bomb at the Riddle Cave and I need your help to defuse it.

Chester nods, understanding the urgency of the situation.

CHESTER (determined) Let's go.

Barry and Chester run back towards the Riddle Cave, ready to face the challenge ahead.

FADE TO BLACK

INT. RIDDLE CAVE - DAY

Barry and Chester are in Flashtime, standing in front of the bomb. Chester is looking around in amazement, his eyes wide.

CHESTER (excited) Wow! This is incredible! Can I ask the Speedforce a question?

BARRY (urgently) Chester, we don't have time for that. I need a way to defuse this bomb. Can you help me?

Chester looks down at the bomb, examining it carefully. He starts to shake his head.

CHESTER (defeated) I don't think it's possible. This bomb is undefusable.

Barry's eyes widen in frustration.

BARRY (desperately) There has to be a way! Can't you try something?

Chester thinks for a moment, then brightens up.

CHESTER (excitedly) Wait! Maybe if we were out of Flashtime, I could try something.

The Speedforce disagrees, warning them of the dangers of leaving Flashtime.

SPEEDFORCE (warningly) Exiting Flashtime is dangerous. It could have unpredictable consequences.

Barry waves off the warning, determined to save Oliver and Riddleman.

BARRY (firmly) I'll take that chance.

Barry exits Flashtime, and Chester follows. The scene fades to black.

INT. RIDDLE CAVE - DAY

Chester is working on the bomb, sweat pouring down his face as he focuses on the task at hand.

CHESTER (excited) Got it! I've managed to slow down the timer, but it's still ticking…

Chester pauses, looking up at Barry with a smirk on his face.

CHESTER (jokingly) Just like my wedding night.

Barry doesn't react, his face serious.

BARRY (into radio) Team Flash, we need you to get here now! Chester has slowed down the timer, but it's still ticking.

CHESTER (realizing) Wait, what about Iris and Allegra? They're pregnant.

BARRY (into radio) Iris and Allegra, stay put. We don't want to risk anything happening to you or the babies.

Chester nods in agreement as Barry radios the rest of the team. The clock is ticking, and time is running out. The fate of the universe rests in the hands of Team Flash.

FADE TO BLACK.

INT. RIDDLE CAVE - DAY

Barry and Chester stand in front of the bombs, Chester still trying to defuse them as Barry looks up and sees Emerald and Snow-Green enter the cave.

BARRY (relieved) Finally! Where is everyone else? We need all the help we can get!

SNOW-GREEN (serious) This is it, Barry. Everyone else is either here, pregnant, or Iris's dad, who's an old man, and his wife, who just has vague mind powers.

Barry takes a deep breath, trying to focus on the task at hand.

BARRY (urgent) Okay, we need to distract Cheater Wells and Mystery Malone long enough for Chester to keep trying to defuse the bombs. Can you two handle that?

EMERALD (confidently) Absolutely.

SNOW-GREEN (determined) We got this, Barry.

Barry nods, grateful for the help as Emerald and Snow-Green move to distract Cheater Wells and Mystery Malone. Meanwhile, Chester continues working on the bombs, his focus solely on defusing them before it's too late.

FADE TO BLACK.

INT. STAR LABS - DAY

Iris and Allegra are standing in front of a computer screen, looking worried.

IRIS (upset) I can't believe we have to stay back. I want to help.

ALLEGRA (worried) I'm just worried about Chester. What if he can't defuse the bombs?

Iris puts a comforting hand on Allegra's shoulder.

IRIS (trying to cheer up) Don't worry, Allegra. Chester's a genius. He'll figure it out.

ALLEGRA (nodding) I hope so.

Iris tries to make a joke to lighten the mood.

IRIS (jokingly) Hey, did you hear the one about the bomb and the defusing expert?

Allegra laughs, despite the tense situation.

ALLEGRA (laughing) No, what is it?

IRIS (grinning) The bomb says, "I'm ticking away and I can't be stopped!" And the defusing expert says, "Well, that's a-timer!"

Allegra laughs, smiling.

ALLEGRA (laughing) Chester would have loved that one.

Iris smiles, glad she was able to make Allegra smile.

IRIS (smiling) Yeah, he would have.

FADE TO BLACK

INT. CAVE - DAY

Mystery Malone and Cheater Wells are standing in front of the Riddle Door, their backs to Oliver.

CHEATER WELLS (excitedly) Listen to this, my love. A two-minute mystery about the end of the world.

Cheater Wells starts to tell a riddle, but Mystery Malone cuts him off.

MYSTERY MALONE (serious) That's not why we're here, my love. This is all about payback for Oliver killing Enigma, my father.

Oliver steps forward, his expression somber.

OLIVER I'm sorry, Mystery Malone. But it was necessary to preserve time itself.

Mystery Malone turns to Oliver, her expression cold.

MYSTERY MALONE (thoughtfully) Is it really though? If preserving time requires killing someone's father, maybe time doesn't need preserving after all.

Oliver looks taken aback by Mystery Malone's words. The scene ends on his reaction shot.

INT. RIDDLE CAVE - DAY

Everyone is trying to defuse the bombs while the earthquake rocks the cave. Suddenly, the entrance to the cave collapses, blocking their escape. Emerald turns to Snow-Green with a look of concern.

EMERALD: We're trapped in here!

SNOW-GREEN: (grabs Emerald's hand) If this is really the end, I want to tell you something. I love you, Emerald. I don't care that you're the green universe Ronnie.

Emerald is surprised and taken aback by Snow-Green's admission. They share a passionate kiss as the bombs continue ticking down. Barry and Chester are working on the bomb with a sense of urgency, but the rest of the team is left to wait and hope for the best.

CHESTER: (voiceover) I've got the timer slowed down, but I can't seem to defuse it completely. We need more time.

BARRY: (voiceover) More time is what we don't have. We've got to get out of here now.

Suddenly, they hear a strange noise. Barry and Chester turn to see what it is. They are stunned to see the Speedforce, standing in front of them, glowing with energy.

SPEEDFORCE: You have a choice to make, Barry. Defuse the bomb, or save your friends.

BARRY: (resolute) I'll save my friends.

The Speedforce nods, and in a flash of light, Barry is gone. Chester looks around, confused and worried.

CHESTER: Where did he go?

The Speedforce turns to Chester, its eyes blazing.

SPEEDFORCE: You have a role to play in this, Chester. You must choose wisely.

Chester takes a deep breath, and nods. He understands what he must do.

FADE TO BLACK.

INT. RIDDLE CAVE - DAY

The bombs are beeping loudly, and the entire cave begins to shake. Mystery Malone stands beside Cheater Wells, both of them looking pleased with themselves.

MYSTERY MALONE (laughing) This is the end of this stupid non-mystery universe.

CHEATER WELLS (laughing) Indeed, my love. And I must say, it's been a fun ride.

RIDDLEMAN stands in the corner, looking downcast. He suddenly starts speaking, trying to lighten the mood.

RIDDLEMAN Why did the Flash disappear?

Everyone in the cave turns to look at Riddleman, wondering what he's talking about.

RIDDLEMAN Because he ran out of time!

No one laughs. The tension in the air is palpable, as everyone prepares for the end.

OLIVER (to Chester) Keep working, Chester. We have to find a way out of this.

CHESTER (working on the bomb) I'll do my best, Oliver.

The timer on the bomb continues to tick down, as everyone in the cave holds their breath.

FADE TO BLACK.

INT. RIDDLE CAVE - DAY

The timer on the bomb continues to tick down, with everyone in the cave looking on in horror. Chester, who is desperately trying to defuse the bomb, suddenly looks up, his expression falling.

CHESTER (disheartened) I can't do it, Oliver. I can't stop the bombs from exploding.

Oliver moves over to Chester, placing a hand on his shoulder.

OLIVER It's okay, Chester. You did the best you could.

Chester looks down, a sadness in his eyes. He tries to lighten the mood with a joke.

CHESTER (forced laugh) I guess you could say the bombs about to explode are like the sadness in my heart.

Oliver gives a sad smile, understanding Chester's attempt at humor.

OLIVER We'll get through this together, Chester. We'll find a way out of this.

The timer on the bomb continues to tick down, as the tension in the cave builds. Everyone is on edge, waiting for the inevitable explosion.

FADE TO BLACK.

INT. RIDDLE CAVE - DAY

The bombs around the door to the ultimate riddle are exploding one by one, filling the room with a bright purple light. The team is scrambling to find a way out, but the explosion continues to grow.

SNOW-GREEN (screaming) We have to shield them!

EMERALD (nodding) I'll use my energy beams.

Snow-Green and Emerald hold hands and concentrate, their green energy beams glowing brightly. They focus all of their energy on Oliver, Chester, and Riddleman, creating a protective shield around them. The fire from the bombs continues to grow, filling the room with a bright purple light.

OLIVER (stunned) What's happening?

CHESTER (breathing heavily) It's the ultimate riddle.

RIDDLEMAN (whispering) It's the end of the world.

The team huddles together, their energy shield the only thing protecting them from the growing explosion. The room continues to fill with light and sound, as the bombs keep exploding. The sound is deafening, and the light is blinding.

FADE TO BLACK.

INT. RIDDLE CAVE - DAY

The room is filled with the sounds of the exploding bombs and the fiery light that's spreading rapidly. Everyone is frozen in place, unsure of what to do.

CHEATER WELLS (turning to Mystery Malone) My love, I have to tell you something. I love you.

Mystery Malone's eyes widen as she hears these words. She looks at Cheater Wells with a mixture of shock and delight.

MYSTERY MALONE (tearfully) I love you too.

Without another word, Mystery Malone grabs Cheater Wells and pulls him into a passionate kiss. As they kiss, Mystery Malone's expression changes, and a determination sets in her eyes.

MYSTERY MALONE (pulling away) I'll save you, my love.

With a powerful gesture, Mystery Malone throws Cheater Wells into the heart of the explosion. Without a moment's hesitation, she jumps in after him.

The room is filled with a bright green-and-purple light as Mystery Malone's and Cheater Wells' combined powers clash with the explosive energy. Everyone watches in awe as the explosion starts to shrink, until it finally seals up, leaving the room in complete darkness.

RIDDLEMAN (excitedly) The answer to the ultimate riddle of the universe must have been love!

As Riddleman's words echo through the room, everyone blacks out, as if they've been enveloped in a warm embrace.

FADE TO BLACK.

INT. STAR LABS - DAY

Everyone groggily wakes up, rubbing their heads. Oliver looks around the room, relieved to see that they're all back at Star Labs.

OLIVER (sighing with relief) Thank God we made it.

ALLEGRA (panicking) Where's Chester? Where's Barry?

Oliver's expression falls as he realizes they're both missing.

IRIS (calmly) We'll find them. Let's focus on the positive. We made it back to our universe.

RIDDLEMAN (sighing) I miss Mystery Malone…

IRIS (smiling) Hey, who knows? Maybe there's a Riddle Universe version of Sue Dearbon that isn't evil. You never know.

Riddleman's face brightens, and he smiles for the first time in a while.

Suddenly, Iris walks over to the window and gasps.

IRIS (shocked) What the…

The rest of the group rushes over to the window and sees that the night sky has turned green.

OLIVER (worried) That can't be good.

FADE TO BLACK

FADE IN:

EXT. MOUNTAIN SIDE - NIGHT

A spaceship crashes into a mountain, causing a landslide. The camera zooms in on the entrance to the Riddle Cave, which has now been completely sealed up by the landslide.

JOHN DIGGLE, wearing a green lantern ring, stumbles out of the spaceship. He looks around, dazed, before catching his balance and speaking.

JOHN DIGGLE (breathing heavily) That was a rough landing.

He looks up at the night sky, which has turned green. He nods, a determined look on his face.

JOHN DIGGLE (smiling) Looks like Central City is about to go green.

He raises his green lantern ring and a beam of green energy shoots into the sky.

INT. CC JITTERS - DAY

BARRY and EMERALD are on the scene, chasing after a masked villain. The villain is armed with a gun that shoots money. They duck behind a counter as the villain fires another shot.

BARRY What is this guy’s deal?

EMERALD It looks like he’s shooting money.

BARRY And he’s not even trying to hide his face.

The villain suddenly turns to face them and grins.

VILLAIN (in a deep, punny voice) You can call me Bank Shot.

BARRY (surprised) Really? That’s your name?

EMERALD Well, it’s a better name than “Money Gun Man”.

BARRY (laughing) I guess you’re right.

Bank Shot aims his gun at Barry and Emerald.

BANK SHOT Time to make a withdrawal.

Barry and Emerald take off, running out of CC Jitters and into the streets. The camera pans up to show the city, with the sounds of sirens and police in the background.

INT. STAR LABS - DAY

RIDDLEMAN stands in front of a computer, FaceTiming with OLIVER QUEEN. RIDDLEMAN speaks in riddles, much to the annoyance of Oliver.

RIDDLEMAN: The answer to life's greatest mystery lies ahead, In a cavern deep and narrow, full of dread.

OLIVER QUEEN: (frustrated) I don't have time for your riddles, Riddleman. Can you just tell me what you need to say?

RIDDLEMAN: Patience, my friend, the truth we shall see, But first, to the cave, where the answer will be.

OLIVER QUEEN: (sighs) Fine. I'll meet you at the cave. But this better be important.

RIDDLEMAN: (smiling) It is, my friend, it is indeed.

Oliver hangs up, leaving Riddleman with a sly grin on his face. He turns to face the others at Star Labs, speaking in riddles once again.

RIDDLEMAN: Our journey begins, the answer we'll find, The mystery of the universe, so hard to unwind.

The scene ends as Riddleman exits Star Labs, ready to embark on his quest to solve the riddle of the universe.

INT. STAR LABS KITCHEN - DAY

Allegra and Chester are standing in front of the microwave, holding packets of noodles.

ALLEGRA: (Frustrated) I can't believe you're making me heat up these noodles in the microwave. They're going to turn out rubbery and gross.

CHESTER: (Making a pun) You might be knotty, but these noodles are going to be al-dente!

Allegra rolls her eyes, clearly not amused.

ALLEGRA: (Sighing) Chester, it's not just about the noodles.

CHESTER: (Getting worried) Is there something else going on? Do you have doubts about our marriage?

Allegra is about to reveal the real reason she is upset, but stops herself.

ALLEGRA: (Pausing) No, I don't have any doubts. It's just… (trails off)

CHESTER: (Getting more worried) Just what?

Allegra can't bring herself to reveal her pregnancy just yet, she just gives Chester a hug and a kiss.

ALLEGRA: (Smiling) Just that I love you.

Chester is relieved and returns the hug and kiss, still unaware of the real reason behind Allegra's mood.

INT. STAR LABS - DAY

BARRY and EMERALD enter the room and are greeted by SNOW-GREEN, who rushes over to give EMERALD a hug.

SNOW-GREEN: (excitedly) Emerald! It's so good to see you!

Emerald is a little more nervous around Snow-Green now that he knows the truth about the original Ronnie and Caitlin. He hesitates for a moment before hugging her back.

EMERALD: (awkwardly) Hi, Snow-Green. Good to see you too.

Barry goes over to hug IRIS.

BARRY: Hey, Iris. Can you do some journalist research to find out who Bank Shot is?

IRIS: Sure thing, Barry. I'll get right on it.

Barry and Emerald exchange a nod and begin to head off to their next task.

FADE OUT.

INT. RIDDLE CAVE - DAY

Oliver and Riddleman stand at the entrance of the cave, staring into the dark unknown.

OLIVER: (frustrated) This had better be worth it, Riddleman. I don't have time for games.

RIDDLEMAN: (speaking in riddles) The answers you seek, lie within. But be careful of what you might find, For danger awaits, with a sly grin.

Oliver takes a deep breath and turns to Riddleman.

OLIVER: (sighs) Alright, let's do this.

They step into the cave and begin to navigate their way through the twists and turns of the dark tunnel. Suddenly, Riddleman stops and points to a riddle inscribed on the wall.

RIDDLEMAN: (excited) Look! The doorway to the Ultimate Riddle of the Universe.

Oliver approaches the riddle and reads it out loud.

OLIVER: (reading) "I am the beginning of the end, And the end of time and space. I am essential to creation, And yet, I cannot be replaced."

RIDDLEMAN: (whispering) Danger lies ahead, I fear. But the answers you seek, are surely near.

OLIVER: (resolved) Let's keep moving. We'll face whatever dangers come our way.

They continue through the cave, with Riddleman leading the way and only speaking in riddles. The tension builds as they get closer to the Ultimate Riddle of the Universe.

INT. STAR LABS - DAY

Allegra and Iris are sitting at a table in the lab. Allegra looks nervous, while Iris is excited.

ALLEGRA (hesitantly) Iris, I need to tell you something.

IRIS (excitedly) Yes, what is it?

ALLEGRA (puts her hand on her stomach) I'm pregnant.

Iris's eyes widen in excitement.

IRIS (gasps) I knew it! I had a feeling it was because of the noodles.

ALLEGRA (laughing) What do you mean the noodles?

IRIS (grinning) Never mind, but this gives me an idea. I'm going to see what Bank Shot ordered for lunch at CC Jitters before the crime happened.

Allegra nods and watches as Iris pulls out her phone and dials.

IRIS (into phone) Yes, hello. This is Iris West-Allen. I need to see the security footage from CC Jitters from today. Can you send it over to Star Labs?

Iris listens as the person on the other end of the line responds.

IRIS (into phone) Yes, that's right. Just send it over and I'll take a look.

Iris hangs up the phone and turns to Allegra with a determined look on her face.

IRIS (smiling) Let's see if we can figure out who Bank Shot is.

Allegra nods, both women excited to start working on the case.

FADE TO BLACK.

INT. STAR LABS - DAY

CHESTER and EMERALD are walking down the hallway, talking. Chester looks worried.

CHESTER I'm just so worried about Allegra, you know?

EMERALD Yeah, I know. It's like having two brains living inside you, huh?

CHESTER (laughing nervously) Yeah, exactly.

EMERALD (sighs) I understand what you're going through, Chester. In my world, I had to merge with the Green Universe version of Thawne to survive.

CHESTER (surprised) Really? What's your name?

EMERALD (pauses) My name is Ronnie. The green version of Ronnie.

CHESTER (surprised) Wow. That's intense.

EMERALD (nodding) It's a lot to handle, but I've learned to live with it.

They continue to walk down the hallway, deep in thought.

INT. RIDDLE CAVE - DAY

Oliver and Riddleman stand before a large stone door, etched with strange symbols. The door is tightly sealed and there is no visible way to open it.

RIDDLEMAN: (in riddle-speak) A puzzle that's not to be solved, a door that's never to be unlocked. Beware, for danger lies ahead, an enemy with power untold.

Oliver sighs, frustrated. He draws his bow, ready for action.

Suddenly, two figures appear out of the shadows, dressed in dark cloaks. They don't say anything, but their body language is menacing.

OLIVER: (whispering) Who are you? Show yourselves.

The figures remain silent, but they slowly begin to advance on Oliver and Riddleman.

OLIVER: (drawing his bow tighter) Last warning.

The tension in the room is palpable. Oliver and Riddleman are outnumbered and outmatched, but they stand their ground, ready for whatever may come next.

INT. STAR LABS - DAY

Barry and Iris are sitting at a computer, studying the security camera footage from CC Jitters. Barry is holding a cup of coffee, and Iris is jotting down notes.

BARRY (looking at the footage) This guy's pretty slick. He's got the whole getaway planned out perfectly.

IRIS (pointing to the screen) Wait, what's that he's ordering for lunch?

BARRY (leaning in closer) Looks like a tuna melt and coffee.

IRIS (excitedly) That's it! I bet he's a bank teller!

BARRY (realizing) You know what, you might be right. Only a bank teller would order that type of meal.

IRIS (typing on the computer) I'll track down his location.

BARRY (getting up) I'll go stop him.

Barry sets out, leaving Iris behind at Star Labs.

FADE TO BLACK.

INT. STAR LABS - DAY

Chester presents Allegra with the bouquet of dried ramen noodles.

CHESTER (grinning) Here you go, my love. A bouquet of dried noodles, just for you. And unlike these noodles, you'll never get soggy.

Allegra starts crying. Chester looks concerned.

CHESTER (worried) What's wrong? Why are you crying?

ALLEGRA (tearful) I'm pregnant, you moron!

Chester's eyes widen in shock.

CHESTER (surprised) You're…pregnant?

ALLEGRA (nodding) Yes. And the hormones are making me emotional.

Chester looks overjoyed and embraces Allegra in a hug.

CHESTER (excited) This is amazing news! We're going to be parents!

ALLEGRA (smiling) Yes, we are.

Chester and Allegra hug as the camera pans out, showing the happy couple surrounded by their dried noodle bouquet.

INT. RIDDLE CAVE - DAY

Oliver and Riddleman are confronted by two figures shrouded in shadows. They reveal themselves to be MYSTERY MALONE and CHEATER WELLS.

MYSTERY MALONE (smiling) Ah, the Riddleman and the Green Arrow. We meet at last.

RIDDLEMAN (smiling back) It's a pleasure to finally see you, Mystery Malone.

MYSTERY MALONE (surprised) You know who I am?

RIDDLEMAN (nodding) I remember freeing you from prison. And I may have had a crush on you ever since.

MYSTERY MALONE (flirtatiously) Really now?

Oliver steps in between them.

OLIVER (drawing his bow) Who are you two?

MYSTERY MALONE (smiling) I'm Mystery Malone, the master of two-minute mysteries. And this is Cheater Wells.

CHEATER WELLS (smiling) We're here for revenge.

Oliver and Riddleman get into fighting stance, but Mystery Malone and Cheater Wells are too quick and disarm them.

MYSTERY MALONE (locking the cage) And now, we'll leave you two to ponder our two-minute mysteries.

RIDDLEMAN (riddle-speaking) What starts with an E, ends with an E, but only contains one letter?

Oliver and Riddleman are locked in the cage, and Mystery Malone and Cheater Wells walk away laughing.

OLIVER (frustrated) This is ridiculous.

RIDDLEMAN (riddle-speaking) The answer to the riddle, Oliver, is "envelope."

OLIVER (sighing) I don't understand. Why are we here?

RIDDLEMAN (whispering) We are here because they know who we are and they want to keep us out of their way. But we have to find a way to escape and stop them.

Oliver and Riddleman continue to try to solve the two-minute mysteries and escape the cage, as the scene fades to black.

INT. BANK SHOT'S HIDEOUT - DAY

Barry arrives at Bank Shot's hideout and cautiously approaches the villain.

BARRY (firmly) Bank Shot, it's over.

BANK SHOT (laughing) Ha! The Flash finally arrives.

BARRY (serious) You've been robbing banks, and I'm here to stop you.

BANK SHOT (defiantly) I wouldn't have become a villain if people didn't keep robbing the bank I worked at!

BARRY (determined) That's no excuse for breaking the law.

Bank Shot pulls out a gun filled with money, and Barry and Bank Shot engage in a fight. Bank Shot shoots money at Barry, but Barry is quick and dodges the shots.

BARRY (taunting) Is that all the money you've got?

BANK SHOT (laughing) Nope! I've got plenty more where that came from!

Barry and Bank Shot continue to fight, exchanging blows and money puns.

BARRY (serious) You're going to have to come with me, Bank Shot.

BANK SHOT (smirking) I don't think so, Flash. I've got some more cash to spend.

The fight continues as the scene fades to black.

INT. TEAM FLASH LAB - DAY

Chester and Allegra walk into the lab, where Snow-Green is working. Chester is carrying a bouquet of dried ramen noodles.

CHESTER (excited) Snow-Green! We have some news!

SNOW-GREEN (looking up) What is it?

ALLEGRA (smiling) I'm pregnant!

Snow-Green's eyes widen in surprise. Chester makes a joke.

CHESTER (joking) Maybe it's twins! I mean, I have two brains, so why not?

Snow-Green bursts out laughing. Allegra squirms a little, but smiles nonetheless. Chester continues.

CHESTER (serious) And by the way, Emerald told me that his name is Ronnie.

ALLEGRA (surprised) That's weird, because the original Caitlin was married to a man named Ronnie. And now, Green Caitlin likes the Green Ronnie.

Snow-Green's expression turns to shock as she processes this information. Chester and Allegra leave Snow-Green alone, who is still in shock.

SNOW-GREEN (whispering to herself) What does this mean?

The scene fades to black as Snow-Green continues to ponder the revelation.

INT. BANK SHOT'S HIDEOUT - DAY

Barry and Bank Shot are in the middle of a heated battle. Barry sees an opportunity and makes his move.

BARRY (yelling) It's time for you to face the consequences of your actions, Bank Shot!

With lightning speed, Barry delivers a powerful punch to Bank Shot, knocking the money gun out of his hand. Bank Shot falls to the ground, dazed.

Barry quickly grabs the gun and breaks it in half. He stands tall, holding the broken pieces in his hand.

BARRY (panting) This is what love can do, Bank Shot. Love can conquer even the most evil of hearts.

Bank Shot starts to cry and looks up at Barry.

BANK SHOT (sobbing) I hate my job. I hate being a bank teller.

BARRY (smiling) Maybe it's time for you to find a new line of work. I hear they're always looking for new residents at Iron Heights Prison.

Barry handcuffs Bank Shot and takes him into custody. The scene fades to black as Barry delivers the defeated Bank Shot to the Central City Police Department.

INT. STAR LABS - DAY

The group is gathered around a table, laughing and chatting. Iris and Allegra are sipping on glasses of Sprite Zero, while Barry holds a glass of champagne, ready to make a toast.

BARRY (Raising his glass) To love. The greatest power of all. It stopped Bank Shot, and brought us all together.

Everyone raises their glasses, cheering and clinking them together.

ALLEGRA (Smiling) Here's to a new chapter in our lives.

Barry turns to Allegra and Chester, smiling.

BARRY (smiling) And congratulations to you two. A new addition to the family.

The group cheers and applauds, with Emerald trying to join in but feeling left out. He approaches Snow-Green, trying to give her a hug, but she backs away, looking uncomfortable.

EMERALD (trying to join in) Here's to the new family!

Iris leans over to Barry and whispers in his ear.

IRIS (whispering) Where's Riddleman?

Barry looks around, noticing that Riddleman is missing.

BARRY (concerned) I don't know.

Suddenly, the Flash Alarm goes off, interrupting the celebration.

BARRY (determined) Looks like duty calls.

Barry puts down his glass and runs towards the door, ready to go on another mission as the Flash.

The group watches as Barry disappears, ready to face whatever danger lies ahead. The scene fades to black.

INT. RIDDLE CAVE - DAY

Oliver and Riddleman are locked in a cage, surrounded by strange symbols and puzzles on the walls. Riddleman has a determined look on his face as he presses a button on his Flash Watch.

MYSTERY MALONE (walking up to Riddleman) Well well, what do we have here? A riddle master and a former vigilante, trapped like rats in a cage.

RIDDLEMAN (smirking) You think you've won, but you haven't seen anything yet.

MYSTERY MALONE (flirtatiously) Oh really? I love a good mystery. Care to share?

CHEATER WELLS (in the background) Hey, I need your help over here.

MYSTERY MALONE (calling out) Hold your horses, Cheater. I'm busy with a little riddle-romance.

MYSTERY MALONE turns back to Riddleman and leans in close.

MYSTERY MALONE (whispering) I have five bombs and a fuse that lasts exactly two minutes. How do I use them to escape this room before the timer runs out?

RIDDLEMAN (thinking) That's a good one.

MYSTERY MALONE (winking) I know, right?

The camera pans out, showing Cheater Wells setting up bombs all around the door to the ultimate riddle of the universe.

MYSTERY MALONE (excited) This is it, Riddleman. The final riddle. The answer to the ultimate mystery of the universe. And we're gonna blow it wide open.

RIDDLEMAN (smiling) I wouldn't miss it for the world.

The scene ends with Mystery Malone and Cheater Wells setting up the bombs and a timer counting down from two minutes, leaving the audience on a cliffhanger.

The screen fades to black.

RIDDLEMAN: (skeptically) And if I don't agree to your condition?

CHEATER WELLS: (smiling) Then I'll give you a two-minute mystery to solve.

Riddleman hesitates for a moment, but eventually agrees to the challenge. Cheater Wells begins to recite the mystery. As he speaks, Riddleman's headache intensifies and he begins to feel dazed.

MYSTERY MALONE: (smiling slyly) I'll give you all of the answers to the two-minute mysteries, but only if you release me from Iron Heights.

RIDDLEMAN: (skeptically) Why should I trust you?

MYSTERY MALONE: (shrugging) You shouldn't. But I'm the only one who can solve the final mystery, and you need me to do it.

RIDDLEMAN: (puzzled) What I don't understand is why Sue Dearbon in the Mystery Universe became a criminal in the first place.

MYSTERY MALONE: (sadly) She became a criminal because someone murdered her father, Enigma. He was a brilliant detective, and he was murdered in cold blood.

RIDDLEMAN: (surprised) Who killed him?

RIDDLEMAN: (impressed) Yes, that's it! How did you solve it so quickly?

MYSTERY MALONE: (shrugging) I've been solving mysteries for a long time.

Riddleman thanks Mystery Malone for her help, but in the process lets slip the fact that Oliver Queen killed her father while they were in the Mystery Universe. Mystery Malone's smile fades for a split second, but she quickly regains her composure.

MYSTERY MALONE (CONT'D): (flirtatiously) Well, I'm just glad I could help. And who knows, maybe you and I can solve more mysteries together in the future.

Suddenly, Allegra spots both Chesters hiding behind a door. Her expression changes from excitement to confusion.

ALLEGRA (CONT'D): (looking confused) Chester, what are you doing hiding back there?

The two Chesters step out from behind the door, sheepishly.

CHESTER CLONE: (trying to make a joke) Hey Allegra, did you hear about the guy who made a clone of himself? He was twice as lonely!

CHESTER: (also trying to make a joke) And the original Chester was twice as confused!

Allegra rolls her eyes and crosses her arms.

ALLEGRA: (serious tone) I don't think this is funny, Chester. Why did you feel the need to hide the clone from me?

Both Chesters stammer, trying to come up with an explanation, but their terrible puns just make Allegra angrier.

ALLEGRA (CONT'D): (getting more frustrated) I don't want to hear any more of your silly jokes. You should have told me about the clone, Chester.

Allegra walks out of Star Labs, clearly upset. The Chesters look at each other, feeling guilty for not telling her.

FADE OUT.

FADE IN:

INT. STAR LABS - DAY

Snow-Green, Barry, Emerald, and Iris are huddled together, discussing what to do about the Chester clones.

BARRY: I've got an idea. We can use the particle accelerator to fuse the two Chesters back together. Just like we did with Ronnie that time, except on purpose.

Emerald has a slight reaction to the name "Ronnie," but he quickly hides it from Snow-Green. Iris picks up on his reaction, but she decides to stay quiet.

SNOW-GREEN: (joking) Well, I guess we'll just have to say goodbye to double the puns and jokes.

IRIS: I think it's worth a shot. We need to find a way to merge the two Chesters back together.

BARRY: Agreed. Let's do this.

All four of them nod in agreement.

FADE OUT.

INT. STAR LABS - LAB ROOM

Riddleman enters the room, hand in hand with Mystery Malone, with a big grin on his face. They approach Cheater Wells, who is sitting at a computer.

RIDDLEMAN: (excitedly) Cheater Wells, I've solved your two-minute mystery. The answer is… "A man!"

CHEATER WELLS: (impressed) Well done, Riddleman. You have proven your worth.

Cheater Wells reaches out and places a hand on Riddleman's forehead. He vibrates his head and Riddleman suddenly begins speaking in riddles again.

RIDDLEMAN: (riddles) In the night I twirl and twine, yet in the day I sit and shine. What am I?

Cheater Wells nods in approval.

CHEATER WELLS: (smiling) Excellent, Riddleman. You're back to your old self.

Mystery Malone watches from the sidelines, looking pleased with the outcome.

MYSTERY MALONE: (smiling) Good job, Riddleman. I knew you had it in you.

RIDDLEMAN: (riddles) A world of dew, it sleeps tonight, like a scent of magic on the night. What is it?

CHEATER WELLS: (smiling) The riddles just keep coming. You truly are a master of riddles, Riddleman.

Riddleman and Mystery Malone continue to speak in riddles as the scene ends.

INT. PARTICLE ACCELERATOR ROOM - DAY

The two Chesters stand side by side, looking worried as they enter the room. Barry is at the controls, ready to flip the switch.

Suddenly, the door bursts open and Allegra rushes in, panting.

ALLEGRA: Stop! I have something to say. Chester, I love you. And I don't care how many of you there are in the world, I just want to be with you.

The Chester clone looks at Allegra with a mix of surprise and happiness.

CHESTER CLONE: Allegra, I love you too. But it wouldn't be right to keep us separate.

Barry nods and flips the switch, activating the particle accelerator. A lot of lightning and sound fill the room as the Chesters are fused together.

When the smoke clears, Chester stands in the middle of the room, now two people at once. He looks down at himself, then grins.

CHESTER: Well, I guess you could say I'm twice the man I used to be. (Everyone laughs)

Allegra laughs and cries at the same time, hugging Chester tightly.

ALLEGRA: I'm so happy you're back to normal.

Everyone else smiles, happy that the problem has been solved. The scene fades to black as the sound of laughter and joy fills the room.

INT. STAR LABS - LATER

Emerald and Iris stand together, speaking in hushed tones.

IRIS: (surprised) Ronnie? Your name was Ronnie?

EMERALD: (nodding) Yes. I had to change it when I came to this world. I couldn't risk anyone finding out the truth about me.

IRIS: (understanding) I see. I won't say anything, but you know that Barry will have to know eventually.

EMERALD: (sighs) I know. I just need some time to figure out how to tell him.

Iris places a comforting hand on Emerald's shoulder.

IRIS: (smiling) Take your time. We'll be here for you, no matter what.

Emerald nods, grateful for Iris's understanding. The scene ends with the two of them walking back to the group, ready to face whatever challenges come next.

FADE IN:

INT. STAR LABS OFFICE - DAY

Mystery Malone and Cheater Wells sit across from each other at a desk. Cheater Wells leans back in his chair with his hands behind his head, while Mystery Malone sips a cup of coffee.

CHEATER WELLS: So, I suppose you're wondering why Riddleman needed his riddle-speak ability back, hmm?

MYSTERY MALONE: Yes, I am. What's the big plan?

CHEATER WELLS: Well, it's simple really. Oliver Queen is trying to solve the riddle of the universe. And Riddleman is the only one who can help him.

Mystery Malone sets down her coffee cup and leans forward, intrigued.

MYSTERY MALONE: Really? And what's the riddle of the universe?

CHEATER WELLS: Ah, now that's a two-minute mystery. But let's not get sidetracked. I want to talk about something else.

Mystery Malone raises an eyebrow, suspicious.

MYSTERY MALONE: What else?

CHEATER WELLS: I heard a rumor that Oliver Queen killed your father. Is that true?

Mystery Malone's face darkens as she nods her head.

MYSTERY MALONE: Yes, it's true. He murdered Enigma in cold blood.

Cheater Wells nods his head in understanding.

CHEATER WELLS: I see. Well, I have a two-minute mystery for you. Can you solve it?

MYSTERY MALONE: Of course. What is it?

CHEATER WELLS: How do we get revenge on Oliver Queen?

Mystery Malone thinks for a moment, a wicked smile spreading across her face.

MYSTERY MALONE: The answer is simple. We team up.

Cheater Wells nods his head in agreement as the screen FADES TO BLACK.

INT. BANK - DAY

The camera shows the entrance of the bank as a young woman, dressed in all black, walks in with a sly grin on her face. She approaches the bank teller with a confident stride.

MYSTERY MALONE (excitedly) Good morning! I have a mystery for you. Two men walk into a bar, but only one walks out. How is this possible?

The bank teller looks nervous, but tries to answer.

BANK TELLER (stammering) Uh, maybe the other one was carried out?

MYSTERY MALONE (shaking her head) Wrong! The second man was a vampire!

The bank teller looks more nervous, as Mystery Malone reaches into her bag and pulls out a gun.

MYSTERY MALONE (firmly) Now, I need you to open the vault for me.

BANK TELLER (fearful) Please, I can't do that! It's against the rules!

MYSTERY MALONE (smiling) Well, in that case, I have another mystery for you. What starts with an E, ends with an E, but only contains one letter?

The bank teller's eyes widen in realization, and she reluctantly reaches for the vault key.

BANK TELLER (sighing) Fine. You win.

The camera pans to Mystery Malone's victorious grin as the vault door slowly opens.

INT. CENTRAL CITY CITIZEN NEWSPAPER - DAY

Iris is typing away on her computer when her phone rings. She answers it and hears Joe's voice on the other end.

JOE (excitedly) Iris, you're not going to believe this. There's been a bank robbery, and the thief used a two-minute mystery to get inside the vault.

IRIS (surprised) A two-minute mystery? That sounds familiar.

JOE (excitedly) That's not all. The mystery was about a vampire.

Iris's eyes widen with recognition.

IRIS (excitedly) Vampires? That's the same thing that happened in the Mystery Universe. Do you think this Mystery Malone character has anything to do with that?

JOE (thoughtfully) It's definitely worth looking into. I'll meet you at Star Labs and we can figure out our next move.

Iris hangs up the phone and gathers her things, a determined look on her face.

IRIS (to herself) I have a feeling this is going to be a wild ride.

FADE OUT.

INT. STAR LABS - DAY

RIDDLEMAN, EMERALD, and SNOW-GREEN are gathered around a table, playing charades. Riddleman is standing at the front, trying to act out a clue. Emerald and Snow-Green are looking at him with a mixture of confusion and amusement.

EMERALD (whispering to Snow-Green) I think he's trying to act out a fish.

SNOW-GREEN (whispering back) I don't think that's it. He's not really good at this.

RIDDLEMAN (frustrated) Come on, you guys! It's not that hard!

SNOW-GREEN (pondering out loud) I wonder if it's because he can't tell riddles anymore.

EMERALD (nodding) Yeah, he used to be so good at these types of games.

RIDDLEMAN (defeated) I guess I just don't have the same spark anymore.

Just as Snow-Green and Emerald are about to try and help Riddleman, Iris and Joe enter the room.

IRIS Hey guys, have you heard about the bank robbery this morning?

JOE Yeah, the robber was reciting riddles to get into the vault.

SNOW-GREEN (excited) Maybe Riddleman could help with the case!

RIDDLEMAN (perking up) I'd love to help! Let's do this!

Iris and Joe look at each other, happy to have found a new lead in their investigation. The scene ends with the group of friends gathered around the table, brainstorming and working together to solve the case of Mystery Malone.

FADE OUT.

INT. STAR LABS - DAY

BARRY is sitting at his desk, going over some reports. CHESTER is sitting across from him, looking nervous.

BARRY (serious) Chester, I've noticed that you've been a bit distracted lately.

CHESTER (defensive) What do you mean? I've been working hard.

BARRY (firm) I appreciate that, but I also noticed that you've been joking around a lot with Allegra.

CHESTER (joking) What can I say, she's like an ice cream sandwich on a hot day.

BARRY (serious) I understand that love is all-consuming, but there's a time and place for everything. Allegra is here to work at the newspaper, and we need her to be focused on her job.

CHESTER (nodding) You're right, Barry. I'll make sure to keep my jokes to a minimum.

Just as Chester agrees, ALLEGRA bursts into the room.

ALLEGRA (excited) Guys, you won't believe what I just heard. Mystery Malone just robbed another bank!

BARRY (intrigued) Mystery Malone?

ALLEGRA (nodding) Yeah, and this time she left a riddle behind.

Barry and Chester exchange a look, both intrigued by the new villain in town.

FADE OUT.

INT. STAR LABS - DAY

Everyone is gathered around the table discussing the new villain, Mystery Malone. Chester is quick to point out the difference between riddles and the two-minute mysteries that Mystery Malone is using.

CHESTER (excitedly) It's not riddles, guys. It's two-minute mysteries!

ALLEGRA (arguing) It's all lateral thinking puzzles at the end of the day.

SNOW-GREEN (joking) Yeah, lateral thinking--because who doesn't love a good pun?

Allegra laughs, looking at Chester for a reaction, but he remains serious. Iris chimes in, connecting Mystery Malone to the Mystery Universe.

IRIS I think this has something to do with the Mystery Universe.

CHESTER We have a file on that in the cabinet, but…

Emerald interrupts, looking at the cabinet and realizing something.

EMERALD Wait a minute, the file is gone!

Everyone looks at each other with concern, realizing that Mystery Malone may have stolen the file.

BARRY (determined) We need to find out what Mystery Malone is after and stop her before she can do any more damage.

FADE OUT.

INT. MYSTERY MALONE'S HIDEOUT - DAY

Mystery Malone is sitting at a desk, surrounded by piles of books and notes. Her phone rings, and she answers it.

MYSTERY MALONE Hello?

MYSTERIOUS VOICE (over the phone) I have a proposition for you. If you want to make a lot of money, rob CC Jitters.

MYSTERY MALONE (thinking) Interesting… but how do I know you're not setting me up?

MYSTERIOUS VOICE (challenging) Prove it. Recite a two-minute mystery, and if I get the answer right, I'll prove my sincerity.

Mystery Malone thinks for a moment, before reciting a complex two-minute mystery.

MYSTERY MALONE (reciting) A man is lying dead in a room, with a gun in his hand. There are no other signs of violence or struggle. The man was married, but his wife is nowhere to be found. Who killed him?

The Mysterious Voice thinks for a moment, before giving the correct answer.

MYSTERIOUS VOICE (proudly) The man killed himself. His wife was the trigger.

MYSTERY MALONE (impressed) Not bad. I'm intrigued. How about we meet up for coffee? CC Jitters, tomorrow morning.

MYSTERIOUS VOICE (agreeing) Sounds good. I'll see you there.

Mystery Malone hangs up the phone, a gleam in her eye. She knows she's on to something big.

FADE OUT.

INT. CC JITTERS - DAY

CHESTER is waiting in line to order coffee, holding his phone in one hand and taking notes in the other. He's FaceTiming with ALLEGRA, who is back at the newspaper.

ALLEGRA (into the phone) Okay, so I need a caramel latte, extra foam, and a shot of hazelnut. Barry wants a black coffee, no sugar, and Iris wants a green tea latte, no foam, extra shot of matcha.

CHESTER (into the phone) Got it, got it.

Suddenly, MYSTERY MALONE enters the coffee shop, wearing her trademark black outfit and carrying a large bag. Chester doesn't notice her at first, but as she approaches him, she recites a two-minute mystery.

MYSTERY MALONE (to Chester) I have a question for you. There are three houses in a row, each one a different color. If the first house is red, the second house is blue, what color is the third house?

Chester is caught off guard and stammers, trying to come up with an answer. Mystery Malone pulls out a gun, forcing Chester to raise his hands in surrender.

MYSTERY MALONE (smiling) The answer is "white". The houses are painted in red, blue, and white, in that order.

Chester's face turns pale as Mystery Malone takes him hostage, leading him to the back of the coffee shop.

ALLEGRA (into the phone) Chester, what's going on?

Chester is too scared to answer, but Allegra can still see everything through the FaceTime call. She quickly calls the rest of Team Flash to let them know what's happening.

FADE OUT.

INT. CC JITTERS - DAY

The FLASH and EMERALD burst through the door of CC Jitters, ready to save Chester from Mystery Malone's clutches. Mystery Malone has a gun pointed at Chester, and is reciting two-minute mysteries, trying to get Chester to guess the correct answer. Chester is sweating and shaking, but he is trying to keep his cool.

EMERALD (urgently) Barry, we need to enter Flashtime and get Chester out of here!

THE FLASH (thinking) No, Emerald. We need to understand what's broken inside Mystery Malone's heart that turned her to a life of crime. I need to solve the problem with a speech.

EMERALD (skeptically) A speech? Do you really think that's going to work?

THE FLASH (determined) I have to try. I believe in the power of words to reach people's hearts and minds.

EMERALD (nodding) Okay, I'll back you up.

The Flash approaches Mystery Malone, with Emerald close behind.

THE FLASH (calmly) Mystery Malone, put down the gun. Let's talk.

MYSTERY MALONE (defiantly) What's there to talk about? I have a job to do.

THE FLASH (empathetically) I understand that you're in a difficult situation, but there's a better way. Let me help you find it.

MYSTERY MALONE (skeptically) And how are you going to do that?

THE FLASH (confidently) By understanding what led you down this path. By listening to your story and finding a way to heal the wounds that are driving you to act this way.

Mystery Malone looks at the Flash, and there is a moment of silence as they size each other up. Then, slowly, Mystery Malone lowers the gun.

MYSTERY MALONE (sighing) Alright, I'll listen. But I make no promises.

The Flash nods, and the two of them sit down at a table, with Emerald and Chester watching from a safe distance. The conversation is long and emotional, as the Flash listens to Mystery Malone's story and tries to find a way to help her see a better path forward. In the end, he gives a powerful speech that reaches her heart and inspires her to turn her life around.

However, just as they are about to finish, Mystery Malone recites another two-minute mystery, catching the Flash off guard. He struggles to find the answer, but she shoots Chester in the foot and leaves with the CC Jitters tip jar.

THE FLASH (disheartened) We need to get Chester to the hospital. And I need to find a way to stop Mystery Malone for good.

FADE OUT.

INT. HOSPITAL ROOM - DAY

CHESTER is in a hospital bed, sleeping. Barry and Allegra are standing outside the room, talking in hushed tones.

ALLEGRA (angrily) Barry, this is your fault. Chester got shot under your protection.

BARRY (defensively) I know, and I'm sorry. But at least he was only foot-shot, not brain or heart-shot.

ALLEGRA (tearfully) That's not enough, Barry. Chester could have been killed. He's a good person and he didn't deserve this.

Barry tries to console Allegra, but she pulls away, clearly upset.

BARRY (softly) Allegra, I'm sorry. I'll do everything in my power to make this right.

ALLEGRA (shaking her head) It's too late for that. I need some time to process this.

Allegra runs off, leaving Barry standing alone in the hospital hallway. He watches her go, feeling helpless.

IRIS walks over to Barry and puts a comforting hand on his shoulder.

IRIS (kindly) Barry, it's okay. You did everything you could.

BARRY (tearfully) I know, but it's not enough. Chester got hurt, and it's all my fault.

Iris hugs Barry, who breaks down in tears. The two of them stand there for a moment, comforting each other.

FADE OUT.

INT. STAR LABS - DAY

RIDDLEMAN, SNOW-GREEN, and EMERALD are in the Star Labs lab, talking about the events that have just transpired with Mystery Malone.

RIDDLEMAN (regretfully) I feel like I failed. I'm supposed to be the version of Harrison Wells that can solve riddles, but I couldn't save Chester.

SNOW-GREEN (thinking) Wait a minute… If there's a Riddle Universe Harrison Wells, then there must be a Mystery Universe Harrison Wells.

EMERALD (excitedly) Yes! That's it! We just need to find him and see if he can help us.

RIDDLEMAN (doubtfully) But how do we find him?

SNOW-GREEN (smiling) We call in the experts.

Snow-Green pulls out her phone and makes a FaceTime call. The call is answered by SARA LANCE, the White Canary from the Legends of Tomorrow.

SNOW-GREEN (on FaceTime) Sara, we need your help.

SARA LANCE (on FaceTime) What's going on?

SNOW-GREEN (on FaceTime) We need to know if there's a Mystery Universe Harrison Wells and how we can find him.

SARA LANCE (on FaceTime) Let me check the Multiverse Portal.

The screen goes black as Sara consults the Multiverse Portal. A few seconds later, the screen comes back on.

SARA LANCE (on FaceTime) Yes, there's a Mystery Universe Harrison Wells. I'll send you his coordinates.

Snow-Green, Emerald, and Riddleman exchange excited looks as they receive the coordinates from Sara.

SNOW-GREEN (smiling) Thanks, Sara.

SARA LANCE (on FaceTime) No problem. Good luck!

Snow-Green ends the FaceTime call and turns to her team.

SNOW-GREEN (excitedly) Let's go!

FADE TO BLACK.

INT. HOSPITAL - DAY

Barry is sitting beside Chester's bed when his phone buzzes with a text from Emerald. He reads it and quickly gets up, a look of determination on his face.

THE FLASH (excitedly) I got it! Emerald found the coordinates of the Mystery Universe Harrison Wells!

IRIS (concerned) Are you sure it's safe to go after another version of Wells?

THE FLASH (confidently) I have to try. This could be the key to solving the mystery of Mystery Malone and putting an end to her reign of terror.

IRIS (nodding) Okay, I'll stay here with Allegra and make sure Chester is taken care of.

THE FLASH (grateful) Thank you, Iris. I don't know what I'd do without you.

Barry leans in to give Iris a kiss, and Allegra clears her throat, looking uncomfortable.

THE FLASH (jokingly) Sorry, Allegra. We'll try to keep the PDA to a minimum.

Barry quickly leaves, leaving Iris and Allegra alone in the hospital room. As he rushes out the door, he can't help but smile at the thought of what he might find at the coordinates of the Mystery Universe Harrison Wells.

FADE OUT.

INT. CC JITTERS SOUP CANNERY - DAY

The FLASH, EMERALD, SNOW-GREEN, and RIDDLEMAN all enter the soup cannery, looking around for any sign of MYSTERY UNIVERSE HARRISON WELLS. They see him sitting at a table in the corner, surrounded by stacks of soup cans.

MYSTERY UNIVERSE HARRISON WELLS (excitedly) Ah, there you are! I've been waiting for you!

RIDDLEMAN (frustrated) You have some nerve, standing us up like this.

MYSTERY UNIVERSE HARRISON WELLS (giggling) Oh, I'm just kidding. I've been here the whole time, just waiting for you to arrive.

SNOW-GREEN (curiously) What do you want with us?

MYSTERY UNIVERSE HARRISON WELLS (excitedly) I have a two-minute mystery for you all. Are you ready?

RIDDLEMAN (sighing) I don't know if I'm ready, but I'm here.

MYSTERY UNIVERSE HARRISON WELLS (reciting) A man walks into a bar with a parrot on his shoulder. The bartender says, "Sorry, we don't serve food here." What's the mystery?

RIDDLEMAN (smacking himself in the head) I don't know! This is so frustrating!

Just then, they hear a voice from behind them.

MYSTERY MALONE (smiling) The parrot wasn't hungry, he was just looking for a drink.

The group turns to see MYSTERY MALONE standing behind them, a smirk on her face.

MYSTERY MALONE (CONT'D) (sighing) And by the way, Harrison, you stood me up for our coffee date.

MYSTERY UNIVERSE HARRISON WELLS (laughing) Oh, I'm so sorry, my dear. I got caught up in all this excitement.

MYSTERY MALONE (smiling) Well, I forgive you this time. But you owe me a coffee.

The group looks on in shock as MYSTERY MALONE and MYSTERY UNIVERSE HARRISON WELLS embrace, laughing and chatting like old friends. They can only wonder what other mysteries the Multiverse holds.

INT. HOSPITAL ROOM - DAY

Chester is awake, with Allegra sitting next to his bed. She looks relieved that he's awake and is holding his hand.

ALLEGRA: I'm so glad you're okay. I promise I won't ever tell you not to laugh at jokes or make jokes at inappropriate times ever again.

CHESTER: (struggling to speak) I-I have to tell you something. Something important.

ALLEGRA: What is it?

CHESTER: When Mystery Malone had me at gunpoint, I realized that I knew her voice.

ALLEGRA: What do you mean?

CHESTER: She's the Mystery Universe version of Sue Dearbon.

Allegra's eyes widen in shock.

ALLEGRA: (whispering) What?

CHESTER: She was a thief that was friends with everyone on Team Flash. But this Sue, she's evil.

Allegra stands up quickly, clearly disturbed by the information.

ALLEGRA: We have to tell Barry and the others. They need to know that Mystery Malone is really Sue Dearbon.

Chester nods in agreement and Allegra quickly exits the room to find Barry.

FADE TO BLACK.

INT. CC JITTERS SOUP CANNERY - DAY

Snow-Green's phone beeps with a new message. She pulls it out of her pocket and reads it, her eyes growing wide.

SNOW-GREEN: It's from Chester.

Emerald leans over to look at the screen, noticing the name "Bestie" in Snow-Green's contacts list.

EMERALD: Chester's saved as "Bestie" in your phone?

SNOW-GREEN: (laughing) Yeah, it's a silly inside joke between us.

SNOW-GREEN (CONT'D): (excitedly) But listen to this, he says Mystery Malone is Sue Dearbon!

Mystery Universe Harrison Wells and Mystery Malone are having coffee together at a nearby table. They don't appear to have heard the news.

BARRY: (whispering) We need to keep this quiet for now. If Malone realizes we know her true identity, she could become even more dangerous.

EMERALD: Agreed. We'll find a way to get the upper hand and take her down.

Snow-Green nods and puts her phone away. The team huddles together, discussing their next steps.

FADE OUT.

INT. CC JITTERS SOUP CANNERY - DAY

Mystery Malone and Mystery Universe Harrison Wells finish their coffee and share a kiss before turning their attention back to Team Flash.

MYSTERY UNIVERSE HARRISON WELLS: (smiling) And now, for our final challenge. A two-minute mystery. One that involves bombs.

BARRY: (realizing) Wait, what? Bombs?! That means there could be bombs planted all around the city!

EMERALD: We have to stop them.

RIDDLEMAN: But how? We don't even know where to start.

MYSTERY MALONE: (laughing) That's the point. The mystery must be solved in two minutes or…boom!

The team exchanges worried looks as the clock starts ticking down.

FADE TO BLACK.

FADE IN:

INT. CENTRAL CITY HOSPITAL ROOM - DAY

Iris is sitting in a chair next to Chester's hospital bed, while Allegra is sitting on the edge of the bed. Chester is looking a bit better, but still weak.

Iris pulls out a pregnancy test from her purse and looks at it. Her eyes widen as she realizes the results.

IRIS: (whispering to herself) Positive.

Chester notices the test and makes a joke.

CHESTER: (laughing) Looks like someone's going to be a daddy!

Allegra playfully joins in on the joke.

ALLEGRA: (giggling) Or maybe a mommy! Who knows, I might be next!

Chester has a funny reaction to her joke.

CHESTER: (laughing) Now that would be a mystery!

Iris just stares at the test, still in awe of the news. She's going to be a mom.

IRIS: (smiling) It's a mystery.

The camera zooms in on the positive pregnancy test as the scene fades to black.

INT. FLASHTIME - DAY

Barry and Oliver are floating in a white, otherworldly dimension, while the Riddleman recites a cryptic verse.

RIDDLEMAN (reciting) In the land of the blind, the one-eyed man is king, but what of the man who sees all things?

Oliver looks worried and turns to Barry.

OLIVER (urgently) We don't have much time, Barry. I was pulled out of the afterlife to solve the ultimate riddle of the universe. If we don't find the answer, the universe will burn.

Barry looks taken aback by the gravity of the situation.

BARRY (in disbelief) The universe will burn? How do we solve this riddle?

Oliver gestures to the Riddleman.

OLIVER (pointing) He's our only hope. He's the one who recited the riddle.

BARRY (thinking) What if the answer is love?

But before Barry can finish his thought, there's a sudden explosion at the hospital that rocks them out of Flashtime.

CUT TO:

INT. HOSPITAL CAFETERIA - DAY

Barry and Oliver appear in the hospital cafeteria, and Barry looks around, confused.

BARRY (CONT'D) (stammering) What just happened?

Oliver looks around as well, his expression grim.

OLIVER (serious) Where's the Riddleman?

Barry scans the room, but the Riddleman is nowhere to be seen.

BARRY (concerned) He's gone.

Oliver's expression turns even more serious.

OLIVER (urgently) We have to find him. The fate of the universe depends on it.

FADE OUT.

INT. HOSPITAL CAFETERIA - DAY

Barry and Oliver return to the wedding reception in the cafeteria, looking around for the Riddleman and checking to see if everyone is okay from the explosion. Iris is quickly by their side.

IRIS (concerned) What happened? Is everyone okay?

BARRY (quickly) Did the Riddleman come through?

IRIS (looking around) No, I haven't seen him. What's going on?

OLIVER (urgently) We need to find the Riddleman and fast. The fate of the universe depends on it.

CHESTER (joking) The only explosion I was expecting was going to happen later on my wedding night.

ALLEGRA (laughing) Oh, Chester!

But before anyone can respond, another explosion rocks the hospital. Chester and Allegra quickly disappear.

BARRY (alarmed) What's happening?

IRIS (frantically) We need to find them!

CUT TO:

EXT. HOSPITAL GROUNDS - DAY

The team sets out, determined to find Chester and Allegra, the Riddleman, and the answer to the ultimate riddle before it's too late.

FADE OUT.

INT. HOSPITAL PARKING LOT - DAY

The group stands in front of the hospital, looking at the new villain. He is a big, muscular man with bombs strapped to his fingers. He sneers at them and introduces himself.

BOMB VILLAIN (smirking) I'm explosive, you could say. (he laughs) And I hate hospitals. They're like ticking time bombs just waiting to go off.

Barry steps forward, looking determined.

BARRY (firmly) We don't have time for this. We need to find the Riddleman and the others who disappeared.

The bomb villain's expression turns angry and he raises his hands to attack. Suddenly, Oliver pulls out his bow and shoots the villain in the shoulder. The villain falls to the ground, unconscious.

EMERALD (surprised) Who is he?

Barry points to Oliver.

BARRY (explaining) That's Oliver. He was the Arrow, shooting arrows so well that he had to become a space angel to save the multiverse. And then he died.

Snow-Green's eyes light up and she flirts with Oliver.

SNOW-GREEN (flirtatiously) Well, if he's the man who saved the multiverse, then he must be a real hero in my book. And those green tights sure do look good on him.

The group looks at each other, realizing they have a lot of work to do.

FADE OUT.

INT. STAR LABS - DAY

Barry, Oliver, Iris, Joe, Cecile, Snow-Green, and Emerald are all gathered around the computer terminals in the lab. Barry is typing away, looking frustrated.

BARRY (frustrated) I don't know how to use these things. Chester was always the one who handled the lab computers.

Iris steps up and puts a comforting hand on his shoulder.

IRIS (reassuring) Don't worry, Barry. I took some scans of the hospital before the explosion. Maybe we can find something in the data.

The group huddles around the computers, studying the images and data. Suddenly, Emerald pulls Snow-Green aside.

EMERALD (whispering) Hey, what was up with you and Oliver earlier? You were being kind of flirty with him.

Snow-Green looks surprised, then confused.

SNOW-GREEN (confused) What are you talking about? I just met Oliver for the first time today.

Emerald looks at Snow-Green in disbelief, then back at Oliver and the rest of the group. He clears his throat and tries to diffuse the tension.

EMERALD (joking) Hospitals and tunnels of love, they're both like a waiting room for an unpredictable ride.

Everyone chuckles and the group returns to their research, the tension broken.

FADE OUT.

INT. STAR LABS - DAY

Oliver is standing with Joe and Cecile, the three of them discussing something intently.

JOE (concerned) So, how's Felicity?

Oliver raises an eyebrow and gives a smirk.

OLIVER (joking) Well, I'm from the afterlife, so she's dead too. But, you know, dead is fine.

Joe looks at Oliver with confusion, but Cecile laughs.

CECILE (laughing) I see your trip through the Riddle universe gave you a sick sense of humor.

Oliver chuckles, then grows serious.

OLIVER (sincere) I'm sorry. It's not funny, really. But it's how I'm coping with everything that's happened.

Joe nods understandingly and the three of them return to their research.

FADE OUT.

INT. TIME VOID ROOM - DAY

Riddleman, Chester, and Allegra all wake up in a strange, dark room with no visible exits. They look around, confused and disoriented.

RIDDLEMAN (riddling) Why do we find ourselves in this strange place, with no way out, no door in sight?

CHESTER (joking) Well, the only riddle I was expecting to solve tonight was how to take off a bra.

Allegra turns to Chester, her eyes blazing with anger.

ALLEGRA (angrily) What is wrong with you?! That's a stupid and disrespectful joke.

Chester rubs his shoulder where Allegra punched him and winces.

CHESTER (apologetic) I'm sorry. I guess I had too much of that hospital champagne.

Riddleman watches the exchange, then speaks up.

RIDDLEMAN (riddling) But why are we here? The answer, my friends, is shrouded in mystery and mystery is a riddle to be solved.

The three look around the room, trying to find any clues or a way out.

FADE OUT.

INT. STAR LABS - DAY

Emerald is intently focused on the computer screen, scrolling through lines of data and images. Snow-Green, Barry, Oliver, Iris, Joe, and Cecile are all gathered around him, looking over his shoulder.

EMERALD (excited) I've found something! The scans show a hidden breach in the universe that could lead to Riddleman, Chester, and Allegra!

Iris leans in, her eyes widening in surprise.

IRIS (impressed) Where is it located?

EMERALD (serious) The breach is in CCPD.

Everyone looks at each other in shock.

SNOW-GREEN (excited) That's where we have to go!

Emerald blushes as Snow-Green leans in and kisses him on the cheek.

EMERALD (blushing) Thanks, but we still need to be careful. This breach could be dangerous.

BARRY (determined) Right. Let's go to CCPD and investigate further.

The group quickly gathers their things and heads out to CCPD, ready to find the missing heroes and stop the threat from the Riddle Universe.

FADE OUT.

INT. TIME VOID ROOM - DAY

Chester is still apologizing to Allegra, who is sitting on a bench in the corner of the room. Chester is pacing back and forth, trying to make light of the situation.

CHESTER (apologetic) I'm so sorry, Allegra. I didn't mean for that joke to come out the way it did. I was just nervous and trying to lighten the mood.

Allegra looks up at Chester with a stern expression.

ALLEGRA (serious) Sometimes you don't realize how disrespectful your jokes can sound. That's not why I fell in love with you, Chester.

Riddleman is leaning against a wall, looking exasperated. He speaks up in his riddle-talk.

RIDDLEMAN (riddle-talk) Two birds in a cage, one speaks the truth, the other a lie. The truth may set you free, but the lie can cage you in.

Chester and Allegra look at Riddleman, confused.

CHESTER (confused) What are you trying to say, Riddleman?

RIDDLEMAN (riddle-talk) You'll figure it out, if you stop bickering and start solving.

FADE OUT.

INT. CCPD ROOF - DAY

Barry, Iris, Joe, Cecile, Snow-Green, and Oliver stand on the roof of the CCPD. Emerald is holding Iris's phone, pointing it towards a spot on the roof.

EMERALD (excited) Here it is! The breach is right here! It's as wide as a penny!

OLIVER (cockily) Allow me.

Oliver pulls out an arrow and loads it into his bow. He takes aim and shoots the arrow directly at the breach. The arrow connects with the breach and it starts to expand.

BARRY (alarmed) What's happening?!

Iris takes a step back, fear in her eyes.

IRIS (frightened) The CCPD is disappearing!

The roof of the CCPD begins to fade away, taking everyone with it.

CUT TO:

EXT. MYSTERY UNIVERSE - DAY

The group finds themselves in a strange, new universe. Everything around them is unfamiliar and unsettling. A figure dressed in a black cloak with a riddle symbol on the chest, their name is ENIGMA, is there, looking pleased with themselves.

ENIGMA (riddle-speak) Welcome to the Mystery Universe. You're not going to escape this time!

FADE OUT.

INT. MYSTERY UNIVERSE - DAY

Enigma stands in front of Oliver, Iris, Barry, Joe, Cecile, Snow-Green, and Emerald, his hands on his hips.

ENIGMA (mysteriously) Allow me to set the scene. You enter a room, and on the table in front of you is a cup of steaming coffee. Beside it lies a spoon. On the wall, you see a picture of a man with a bullet hole through his head. What do you deduce from this scene?

Oliver doesn't hesitate, and starts shooting arrows at Enigma.

OLIVER (yelling) I deduce that I need to take you down!

Iris turns to Barry, a look of confusion on her face.

IRIS (confused) First the regular universe, then the riddle universe, and now the mystery universe? What's happening here?

Enigma dodges Oliver's arrows with ease, laughing as he does so.

ENIGMA (laughing) You're all pawns in my game. You'll never be able to solve this mystery.

Emerald and Snow-Green take turns shooting green beams at Enigma. Enigma easily dodges these attacks as well, and continues to describe a two-minute mystery story to them.

ENIGMA (continuing) A wealthy man is found dead in his home, with no signs of struggle or forced entry. The only clue is a broken watch on the floor, stopped at exactly 2:05. Who killed him, and why?

CUT TO:

The rest of the scene shows the gang trying to figure out Enigma's mystery, all while battling him and trying to find a way back to their own universe.

INT. TIME VOID ROOM - DAY

Chester and Allegra are standing in front of Riddleman, who is seated and looking pleased with himself.

CHESTER (frustrated) Come on, Riddleman. Can you at least tell us what's going on? Do you think one of us is lying?

RIDDLEMAN (riddle-speak) A truth spoken, a lie broken, the truth be told with a token.

ALLEGRA (sighs) Great. Another riddle.

CHESTER (confused) I don't get it. I'm not lying. I really don't know what's going on.

RIDDLEMAN (riddle-speak) As light as a feather, yet the strongest man cannot hold it for much longer than a minute. What is it?

ALLEGRA (sighs) I'm not in the mood for this, Riddleman.

CHESTER (excited) A breath! That's it!

RIDDLEMAN (smiling) Correct.

ALLEGRA (rolling her eyes) Oh, great. Another riddle solved. Can we please focus on getting out of here?

RIDDLEMAN (riddle-speak) Out of sight, out of mind, what you seek, you may not find.

CHESTER (deflated) Ugh, this is hopeless.

ALLEGRA (determined) No, it's not. We just need to find a way to communicate with Riddleman without all the riddles.

FADE TO BLACK.

INT. MYSTERY UNIVERSE - DAY

Enigma continues to dodge the attacks from Oliver, Emerald, and Snow-Green.

ENIGMA (excitedly) And here's another one for you! Two men walk into a bar, but only one walks out. How is this possible?

Suddenly, Iris grabs Barry and pulls him into a passionate kiss. Everyone else looks uncomfortable and averts their gaze. Barry is taken aback by the sudden move.

BARRY (surprised) What was that for?

IRIS (shrugging) Maybe the power of love can stop him, or something. Who knows?

Enigma starts to laugh.

ENIGMA (laughing) Oh, that's rich! The power of love! What a quaint idea.

SNOW-GREEN (smiling) I know the answer! The second man was a vampire!

Enigma freezes in place, his eyes wide with shock.

SNOW-GREEN (CONT'D) (making a joke) Just like a vampire, Enigma's mysteries sucked.

The group turns their attention to Enigma, who is now frozen and unable to move.

BARRY (optimistically) Maybe we've found a way to stop him.

IRIS (hopeful) Maybe the power of love really is stronger than evil.

FADE OUT.

INT. RIDDLE UNIVERSE - DAY

Chester and Riddleman continue their conversation, with Riddleman still only responding in riddles. Allegra steps in, looking determined.

ALLEGRA (smiling) I have a riddle for you, Riddleman. What has a mouth, but never speaks; a head, but never weeps; a bed, but never sleeps?

Riddleman pauses, looking taken aback.

RIDDLEMAN (surprised) I…I don't know. What is it?

ALLEGRA (smiling) A river.

RIDDLEMAN (impressed) You're right. But how does this solve anything?

ALLEGRA (smiling) The solution to my riddle is to stop talking in riddles. It's time to be honest, Riddleman.

Riddleman nods, his expression turning serious.

RIDDLEMAN (sincerely) You're right, Allegra. I apologize. I shouldn't have been speaking in riddles all this time.

Chester looks hopeful, but confused.

CHESTER (tentatively) So what do you have to say?

RIDDLEMAN (emphatically) Allegra, you told me you didn't fall in love with Chester for his jokes. But that's not the whole truth. You love him for all of him, the good and the bad. You need to accept the bad with the good if your love is going to survive.

Allegra nods, her eyes filling with tears. She turns to Chester.

ALLEGRA (tearfully) You're right, Riddleman. I do love Chester for all of him. I'm sorry, Chester.

Chester steps forward, embracing Allegra. The power of their love begins to glow, enveloping them in a warm light.

CHESTER (tearfully) I love you too, Allegra.

The light grows brighter, and a portal begins to open in the floor. The group looks down, marveling at the sight.

BARRY (excitedly) Look, a portal back to our universe!

OLIVER (optimistically) The power of love truly is stronger than anything.

FADE OUT.

INT. MYSTERY UNIVERSE - DAY

Oliver steps forward, his hand crackling with energy.

OLIVER (calmly) I'll take care of this.

He reaches out and touches Enigma's chest, causing a bright flash of light. When the light fades, Enigma's body has been completely destroyed.

Everyone is shocked, but understanding. They know that Oliver had no choice.

BARRY (urgently) Oliver, how do we get back to our own dimension?

Suddenly, the Waverider appears in a flash of light. The door opens, and Sara Lance steps out.

SARA (smiling) Anything to help an old friend.

The group hesitates for a moment, but then quickly joins Sara on the Waverider.

SARA (smiling) Let's go home.

With a burst of energy, the Waverider warps back to their own universe.

FADE OUT.

INT. CC JITTERS - DAY

Everyone is gathered around a table, chatting and eating. Barry is relieved to be back in his own universe and surrounded by friends.

BARRY (smiling) I'm just glad we're all safe and back home.

IRIS (nodding) Me too. That was one wild adventure.

Joe, Cecile, and Emerald nod in agreement.

Suddenly, Oliver looks worried.

OLIVER (frustrated) But what about the ultimate riddle of the universe? Riddleman can no longer help us with that.

CHESTER (laughing) Don't worry, man. We'll figure it out.

SNOW-GREEN (smiling) Yeah, and there's always another riddle to solve.

ALLEGRA (smiling) And who knows, maybe one day we'll find the answer.

BARRY (optimistically) Exactly. We'll never stop searching for the truth.

Just then, Sara Lance enters CC Jitters.

SARA (smiling) Hey, guys. Anything to help an old friend.

OLIVER (excited) Sara! You're back.

SARA (nodding) Yeah, I thought I'd come check in and see how everyone is doing.

She notices the worried look on Oliver's face.

SARA (CONT'D) (smiling) Don't worry, Oliver. The Legends will look into it. We'll find the answer to the ultimate riddle of the universe.

Sara extends her hand to Oliver.

SARA (CONT'D) (smiling) Come on, let's go see the team.

Oliver takes her hand and they leave CC Jitters together.

The group continues to chat and enjoy their sandwiches.

FADE OUT.

FADE IN:

INT. STAR LABS - DAY

A young woman is shown rummaging through a filing cabinet in a dark corner of the lab. She finds the folder marked "Mystery Universe" and pulls it out.

YOUNG WOMAN (whispering to herself) This is it.

She flips through the pages, scanning the contents with a look of intense focus. Suddenly, she recites a two-minute mystery:

YOUNG WOMAN Why did the scarecrow win an award?

She smiles and leans against the filing cabinet, proud of herself.

YOUNG WOMAN (CONT'D) Because he was outstanding in his field!

The woman turns to the camera and reveals her pun nickname.

YOUNG WOMAN (CONT'D) You can call me "Mystery Malone".

FADE TO BLACK.

INT. CC JITTERS - DAY

Cecile sits at the counter, sipping her coffee and reading a newspaper. She suddenly winces and grips the counter, looking like she's in pain.

BARISTA (concerned) Ma'am, are you okay?

Cecile looks up, dazed, and drops her coffee cup on the floor, shattering it. She quickly stands up and rushes out of the coffee shop.

CUT TO:

INT. STAR LABS - DAY

Barry, Iris, Joe, Chester, Allegra, and Riddleman are all gathered in the lab. Cecile bursts in, looking worried.

CECILE (panting) I just had a mind-power alert. It's about the orbs!

BARRY (serious) What did you see?

CECILE (frantically) I don't know, it was all jumbled. But I know it's about the orbs and it's bad.

JOE (calmly) We've got it handled. We've got both orbs right here in the lab.

IRIS (surprised) We do?

JOE (confidently) Yeah, we found them and brought them here for safe keeping.

CHESTER (jokingly) And to make sure no one else got their hands on them.

Everyone relaxes a bit, but still looks concerned.

BARRY (determined) Okay, so now that we have them, what do we do with them?

JOE (thoughtfully) We need to find out what's going on and why these orbs are so important.

Everyone nods in agreement and starts working on the orbs, trying to unlock their secrets and figure out what to do next.

FADE OUT.

INT. STAR LABS - DAY

Emerald is sitting at a computer, scrolling through Team Flash's social media. He stops on a picture of Snow-Green, looking at it with longing.

ALLEGRA (O.C) (noticing) Hey, what's got you so engrossed?

Emerald jumps, surprised, and quickly minimizes the screen. He turns to face Allegra, who is giving him a curious look.

EMERALD (awkward) Oh, nothing. Just looking at some old photos.

ALLEGRA (skeptical) Really? It looked like you were checking out Snow-Green.

Emerald's face reddens and he looks down, sheepishly.

EMERALD (admitting) Okay, fine. I have a crush on her. But she's been kidnapped and I don't even know if she's okay.

ALLEGRA (encouraging) Don't worry, Emerald. We're all working together to find Snow and get her back. You'll get your chance to tell her how you feel.

Emerald looks up at Allegra, smiling gratefully.

EMERALD (hopeful) Thanks, Allegra. That means a lot.

Allegra smiles back and pats Emerald on the shoulder before heading back to her work.

FADE OUT.

FADE IN:

INT. TIME DUNGEON - DAY

Snow-Green runs through the halls of the time dungeon, her clothes and hair disheveled from her escape attempts. She bursts through a door, only to find herself back in the room she started in.

EVIL BARRY (V.O) (booming) You betrayed me, Snow-Green!

Snow-Green turns around, looking for the source of the voice.

SNOW-GREEN (defiant) I didn't betray you, Evil Barry. You're the one who brought me here.

EVIL BARRY (V.O) (mocking) Oh, poor Snow-Green. Still clinging to the past. But your past is what got you here. Your actions have consequences.

Snow-Green shudders at the sound of Evil Barry's voice. She takes a deep breath and straightens up, determined not to let him get the best of her.

SNOW-GREEN (resolute) I'm not afraid of you, Evil Barry. I'll find a way out of here.

The voice of Evil Barry fades away, leaving Snow-Green alone in the room. She looks around, searching for a way out.

FADE OUT.

FADE IN:

INT. STAR LABS - DAY

Chester is sitting at a table in the lab, fidgeting nervously. He looks around and sees Allegra walking towards him.

CHESTER (excitedly) Allegra, my love, have you heard any juicy gossip about the new speedster?

ALLEGRA (firmly) Chester, I'm not one to gossip.

CHESTER (jokingly) Oh come on, you're like a safe. All locked up with all the juicy details inside.

ALLEGRA (smirking) But unlike a safe, I have a combination that can't be cracked.

Chester is taken aback by her clever comeback and falls even more in love with her. He watches as she walks away, his mind racing with thoughts of her.

CUT TO:

INT. LAB - DAY

Chester takes a deep breath and pulls out an engagement ring from his pocket, looking at it longingly.

CHESTER (to himself) I hope she says yes.

The scene ends with Chester putting the ring back in his pocket and looking determined.

FADE OUT.

FADE IN:

INT. STAR LABS - DAY

Cecile is frantically going through a stack of papers on a desk. She finally finds what she's looking for: a small, glowing meteor. She touches it, and immediately winces in pain.

RIDDLEMAN (in riddle-talk) A glowing rock, a fragile touch, a backwards speech, what is happening much?

JOE (urgently) What is it? Can you understand her?

RIDDLEMAN (in riddle-talk) Her words now jumbled, the truth unclear, the message lost, but I do not fear.

JOE (frustrated) Can you speak normal, please?

RIDDLEMAN (in riddle-talk) The answer lies within the question, but only in reverse is the solution expressed.

BARRY and IRIS enter the room.

BARRY (worried) What's going on here?

JOE (exasperated) Cecile touched the meteor and now she's talking backwards.

IRIS (concerned) We need to find out what's happening and how to fix it.

The team gathers around Cecile, looking worried but determined.

FADE OUT.

FADE IN:

INT. STAR LABS - DAY

Emerald walks into the lab, looking around at the various experiments and devices that Team Flash has been working on. He stops in his tracks when he sees a small, glowing meteor on a desk.

Emerald approaches Chester, who is fidgeting with something in his pocket.

EMERALD (excitedly) Hey Chester, what's with the glowing rock over there?

CHESTER (startled) What glowing rock? (realizes) Oh! That! Yeah, we found it at Big Belly Burger.

Emerald's eyes widen in recognition.

EMERALD (excitedly) That's the meteor from the legend of the orbs!

CHESTER (nervously) Orbs? What orbs? (fidgeting with his pocket again)

Emerald looks at Chester, who is clearly hiding something.

EMERALD (curious) The orbs that are said to give the wielder immense power. You know about them, right?

CHESTER (jokingly) Me? No, I only know about the power of love. (tries to hide his pocket)

Emerald raises an eyebrow, still confused.

EMERALD (curious) What's in your pocket?

CHESTER (nervously) Nothing! (stammers) Just a little something I've been keeping safe. (pulls out the ring)

Emerald looks at the ring, now realizing what Chester was hiding.

EMERALD (excitedly) Is that an engagement ring?

CHESTER (embarrassed) Yeah, I was going to ask Allegra. But now's not the time. (puts the ring back in his pocket) Let's talk about these orbs.

Emerald nods in agreement, and they start discussing the legend of the orbs, both of them completely unaware of the danger that lies ahead.

FADE OUT.

FADE IN:

INT. TIME DUNGEON - DAY

Snow-Green is pacing back and forth in the Time Dungeon, looking for a way out. She hesitates, knowing that using her powers could attract the attention of her captors.

Evil Barry appears on the other side of the bars, a smirk on his face.

EVIL BARRY (taunting) Going to blast your way out, Snow-Green? Good luck with that.

SNOW-GREEN (defiantly) I'll take my chances.

Evil Barry chuckles, and Snow-Green takes a deep breath. She focuses her powers, and green beams shoot out from her hands, striking the walls of the dungeon.

Evil Barry scoffs, but Snow-Green is undeterred.

SNOW-GREEN (quipping) Looks like your evil plan is as brittle as your frozen heart.

Evil Barry's smirk fades, and he looks at Snow-Green with anger in his eyes.

EVIL BARRY (angrily) You'll pay for that insult, Snow-Green.

Snow-Green continues to blast the walls with her beams, the energy crackling and sparking as it strikes the stone. She knows that escape won't be easy, but she's determined to break free.

FADE OUT.

FADE IN:

INT. STAR LABS - DAY

Barry is pacing back and forth, trying to figure out what to do about Cecile's backwards speech. Suddenly, he has an idea and runs off to the Time Vault.

CUT TO:

INT. TIME VAULT - DAY

Barry enters Flashtime and approaches the Speedforce.

BARRY (excitedly) Speedforce, I need your help. Cecile is speaking backwards, and I need to understand what she's saying.

SPEEDFORCE (calmly) Barry Allen, listen carefully. Cecile is telling you to combine the orbs and the meteor.

Barry nods in understanding and exits Flashtime, back in the lab. He approaches Chester and Joe, who are frantically trying to figure out what to do.

BARRY (excitedly) Guys, I know what to do! We need to combine the orbs and the meteor!

CHESTER (surprised) What? How are we supposed to do that?

BARRY (determined) We're going to need a bigger blender.

Chester and Joe look at each other in confusion, but nod in agreement and start gathering the necessary materials.

FADE OUT.

FADE IN:

INT. STAR LABS - DAY

Iris is carefully placing the orbs, one by one, into a large blender. Chester is standing next to her, fidgeting with something in his pocket.

CHESTER (jokingly) Hey, Iris, you're really holding the balls now.

Everyone groans, except for Allegra, who laughs. Chester turns to her, grateful for the response.

ALLEGRA (laughing) Oh come on, that was a good one!

As Allegra laughs, she accidentally grazes Chester's pocket, causing him to jump in alarm.

CHESTER (nervously) Hey, watch it!

Allegra looks down and sees the engagement ring peeking out of Chester's pocket.

ALLEGRA (surprised) What's this?

Before Chester can respond, Barry interrupts, pressing a button on the blender.

BARRY (urgently) We need to combine the orbs and the meteor now!

Everyone watches as the orbs and meteor swirl around inside the blender. Suddenly, there's a bright flash of light, and everyone disappears.

FADE OUT.

FADE IN:

INT. TIME DUNGEON - DAY

Snow-Green stands face to face with Evil Barry. He sneers at her, anger in his eyes.

EVIL BARRY (accusingly) You betrayed me! I thought we were in this together!

Snow-Green sets her jaw determinedly and looks him in the eye.

SNOW-GREEN (firmly) You divorced me so you could become a famous motorcycle racer in multiple dimensions. That's not exactly a solid foundation for a relationship.

Evil Barry looks taken aback by her words. He hangs his head in shame.

EVIL BARRY (ashamed) I'm sorry. I was wrong.

Snow-Green's expression softens slightly, but she still doesn't love him anymore.

SNOW-GREEN (resigned) It's too late for apologies. I don't love you anymore.

Just then, Team Flash appears in a blinding flash of light. Chester looks at Evil Barry in surprise, while Barry, Iris, and Allegra stare in shock at Snow-Green.

BARRY (stunned) What's going on here?

Snow-Green takes a deep breath and turns to face them.

SNOW-GREEN (resolutely) I broke through the walls of the Time Dungeon with my green beams. We have work to do. Let's go.

Emerald steps forward and takes Snow-Green's hand.

EMERALD (determined) We'll face any challenge together.

FADE OUT.

FADE IN:

INT. TIME DUNGEON - DAY

The battle between Evil Barry and Team Flash is in full swing. Chester's puns are ineffective against Evil Barry, who has produced multiple clones of himself. Each clone wields a laser gun and rides a motorcycle, making it even harder for Allegra to hit her target.

Evil Barry's speed and cunning make him a formidable opponent, but Snow-Green is not afraid. She stands strong, her green energy at the ready. Suddenly, Emerald grabs Snow-Green's hand, catching her off guard.

SNOW-GREEN (surprised) What are you doing?!

EMERALD (urgently) We need to work together!

Snow-Green nods, understanding. The two of them join forces, their green beams combining to create a powerful blast that takes out multiple clones at once.

ALLEGRA (impressed) Whoa, that was impressive!

SNOW-GREEN (determined) We'll talk about it later! Right now, we need to focus on defeating Evil Barry!

FADE OUT.

FADE IN:

INT. TIME DUNGEON - DAY

The battle between Team Flash and Evil Barry's clones is in full swing. Amidst the chaos, the Riddleman is desperately trying to convey a message to Cecile.

RIDDLEMAN (struggling to speak) The key to victory lies in solving the mystery of my pain.

CECILE (confused) What are you trying to say? I don't understand your riddles.

RIDDLEMAN (urgently) The answer lies within the wounds of my heart.

CECILE (frustrated) I need you to speak clearly! What do you mean?

The Riddleman winces as a piece of shrapnel digs into his flesh. He stumbles, his words becoming slurred as he passes out from blood loss.

CECILE (worried) Riddleman! Stay with me!

She cradles his head in her arms, looking up at Barry with concern.

BARRY (determined) We need to get him out of here and to a hospital.

FADE OUT.

FADE IN:

INT. TIME DUNGEON - DAY

The air is filled with the sounds of explosions and laser blasts as Team Flash fights against Evil Barry and his army of clones. But things are not looking good. The team is getting tired, and Evil Barry is gathering even more clones for one final blast that will kill them all.

Suddenly, Barry steps forward, holding up his hand.

BARRY (earnestly) Stop!

Evil Barry looks taken aback by Barry's sudden intervention.

BARRY (CONT'D) (continuing) I want to talk to you about the power of love.

Evil Barry rolls his eyes, but Barry continues undaunted.

BARRY (CONT'D) (continuing) Do you remember Emerald and Snow-Green's love for each other? Or Cecile and Joe's love for each other? Or my love for Iris? Or Chester and Allegra's love for each other?

Chester and Allegra exchange a look, and Chester suddenly drops down on one knee.

CHESTER (excitedly) Allegra, will you marry me?

Allegra looks stunned for a moment, but then smiles widely.

ALLEGRA (tearfully) Yes!

Barry looks pleased, and continues his speech.

BARRY (softly) And do you remember how their love caused the clones of you to die?

Evil Barry's eyes widen, and he looks at the scene in front of him with shock. He sees the power of love, and his clones begin to fade away, one by one.

CHESTER (making a joke) Well, it looks like love really is the greatest weapon against evil!

Everyone laughs, and the tension in the air breaks. Team Flash has defeated Evil Barry once and for all.

FADE OUT.

FADE IN:

INT. HOSPITAL ROOM - DAY

Team Flash is gathered around Riddleman's hospital bed. He is bandaged and looks tired, but he is smiling as he listens to their explanations of what happened in the time dungeon.

Snow-Green and Emerald are holding hands, and Snow-Green is making a pun about hospitals.

SNOW-GREEN (smiling) I heard this place has a lot of bed-side manner!

Chester laughs, and Emerald and Allegra roll their eyes.

RIDDLEMAN (smiling) I'll be sorry to miss the wedding of Chester and Allegra, but I'm glad to hear that love triumphed over evil.

Chester puts an arm around Allegra, and they smile at each other.

CHESTER (laughing) I couldn't resist proposing in the heat of the moment!

ALLEGRA (smiling) And I couldn't resist saying yes!

The room is filled with laughter, and Team Flash takes a moment to bask in the love and joy of their victory.

FADE OUT.

FADE IN:

INT. HOSPITAL ROOM - DAY

The room is filled with Team Flash and Riddleman, all gathered to check in on him after the battle. Emerald and Snow-Green are holding hands, and Chester is cracking jokes. Suddenly, the door opens and in walks someone who surprises everyone.

ADELE (excitedly) Hello everyone!

TEAM FLASH (in unison) Adele!

Adele smiles and waves.

ADELE (explaining) I heard you were all here and I wanted to come and say "Hello". And I also wanted to let you know that I'm an ordained minister.

ALLEGRA (surprised) Really?

ADELE (nodding) Yes, really. I can perform a musical wedding for you two right here, right now!

CHESTER (laughing) Well, I guess this is the most musical wedding I'll ever have!

Everyone laughs, and Adele begins to sing the wedding ceremony for Chester and Allegra. The room is filled with the sounds of Adele's beautiful voice, and everyone is moved by the love and joy in the air.

CHESTER (saying his vows) I, Chester, take you, Allegra, to be my lawfully wedded wife. And I promise to make you laugh every day for the rest of our lives.

Adele continues singing, and the couple exchanges rings and kisses. The scene ends with the newlyweds smiling and laughing, surrounded by their friends and family.

FADE OUT.

FADE IN:

INT. HOSPITAL CAFETERIA - DAY

BARRY and IRIS are having a conversation over a plate of wedding cake. They're both smiling and happy. Suddenly, the door bursts open and OLIVER QUEEN enters, looking determined and a little flustered.

BARRY (surprised) Oliver! I thought you were dead! Or the god of space or something like that.

OLIVER (urgently) I need your help, Barry. And the Riddleman's too. Time itself is in danger.

Barry and Iris exchange a worried look.

IRIS (concerned) What happened?

OLIVER (gravely) I can't explain it all now, but we have to act fast. The fate of the universe is at stake.

Barry nods, looking serious.

BARRY (resolutely) We'll do whatever it takes.

The camera pulls back as the trio heads out of the cafeteria, ready to face their latest challenge.

FADE OUT.

INT. STAR LABS - DAY

Allegra is scrolling through Netflix, trying to pick a movie for movie night. Chester is playing with Riddleman's orb, tossing it back and forth in his hands.

SNOW-GREEN: (laughing) Chester, stop playing with Riddleman's orb! It's not like you're playing with the big ball!

CHESTER: (laughing) Ha ha, very funny Snow-Green!

ALLEGRA: (rolling her eyes) Is Snow-Green in love with Riddleman?

SNOW-GREEN: (blushing) No, I only have a thing for guys that wear green!

CHESTER: (teasing) Green and handsome?

Suddenly, Chester's phone rings. He answers it, looking worried.

CHESTER: (worried) Joe? What's up?

JOE: (urgently) Get down to my house now! We've got a big problem!

Chester hangs up the phone, looking worried.

CHESTER: (urgently) Guys, we need to go to Joe's house! Now!

ALLEGRA: (concerned) What's going on?

CHESTER: (urgently) I don't know, but it's big! Let's go!

The team quickly gathers their things and hurries out of Star Labs, heading for Joe's house.

FADE TO BLACK.

INT. CITY STREET - DAY

Barry and Iris are riding their electric scooters towards Joe's house. They are both dressed in casual clothing and appear to be in good spirits.

BARRY: (explaining) I can't run there because I don't want to tip off our villain that I'm on to them. Plus, I've been trying to work on my carbon footprint.

IRIS: (laughing) Yeah, I guess that makes sense. But I hope this doesn't ruin movie night.

BARRY: (jokingly) If I get there first, I get to pick the movie. And my pick is definitely "The Matrix".

IRIS: (playfully rolling her eyes) Of course it is. But I'm hoping for a comedy tonight, something to lighten the mood after all the villain fighting we've been doing lately.

BARRY: (smiling) I'm sure we'll find something that both of us will enjoy. Let's just get to Joe's house and see what he needs.

The scene cuts to them continuing to ride their scooters, enjoying each other's company.

INT. JOE AND CECILE'S HOUSE - DAY

Barry, Iris, Chester, Allegra, Riddleman, and Snow-Green enter the room, greeted by Joe and Cecile. They are introduced to a new speedster, who is wearing green and holding an orb.

JOE: Meet our new friend, he's a speedster, but he can't talk.

ALLEGRA: Has his voice been stolen?

The new speedster shakes his head no.

RIDDLEMAN: (In riddle-speak) What runs, but never walks? Has a mouth, but never talks?

SNOW-GREEN: (Excitedly) Oh, I love a good riddle! What is it?

RIDDLEMAN: (In riddle-speak) Why, it's the new speedster, of course!

The team decides to take the new speedster and his orb back to Star Labs for further study.

CUT TO:

INT. STAR LABS - DAY

The team is excited to study the new speedster and his orb, hoping to discover what makes him tick.

INT. STAR LABS - DAY

All the characters are at Star Labs, gathered around the new speedster, who is still holding the orb. Joe and Iris are discussing their theories about the speedster.

JOE: It's strange that he has an orb just like Riddleman. And he's wearing green, just like the Evil Barry from earlier.

IRIS: Do you think he's from the future like Evil Barry?

SNOW-GREEN: (excitedly) I don't know about all that, but I do know one thing. That green outfit is really working for him!

Everyone turns to look at Snow-Green, who is looking at the new speedster with an appreciative gaze. The new speedster looks back at Snow-Green, slightly confused.

SNOW-GREEN: (flirtatiously) I just love a guy in green!

Everyone laughs, as Snow-Green blushes.

INT. STAR LABS - DAY

Riddleman is intently studying the new speedster's orb, comparing it to his own. Chester makes a suggestive joke about the size of the orbs.

CHESTER: (laughing) Looks like the new guy's got a bigger orb!

RIDDLEMAN: (speaking in riddle-talk) Size is but a measure, in this orb's true treasure, what's inside is what truly matters.

Just as Chester is about to reply, Riddleman interjects with a new riddle.

RIDDLEMAN: (speaking in riddle-talk) This orb holds secrets, untold and deep, what it reveals, may cause one to leap.

Allegra pulls Chester aside for a serious talk about their relationship.

ALLEGRA: (serious tone) Chester, we need to talk about where we're headed.

Riddleman interrupts their conversation with another riddle.

RIDDLEMAN: (speaking in riddle-talk) Two hearts intertwined, in love's sweet dance, but where will they go, what's the chance?

INT. STAR LABS - DAY

Barry is sitting at a desk, scrolling through his laptop. Snow-Green leans over his shoulder.

SNOW-GREEN: (jokingly) Let me guess, no results for "alternate universe where everyone wears green?"

BARRY: (disappointed) Unfortunately, no.

SNOW-GREEN: (sighing) Ah well. My universe isn't exactly a joyous place.

BARRY: (concerned) What happened in your universe?

SNOW-GREEN: (sadly) Oh, just the usual. Villains, destruction, chaos. The usual.

She forces a smile, trying to lighten the mood.

SNOW-GREEN: (playfully) But hey, at least I get to wear green all the time!

Barry can tell she is still sad, but lets it go for now and changes the subject.

FADE TO BLACK.

INT. STAR LABS - DAY

Riddleman is standing in front of the group, holding the new speedster's orb. He begins to speak in riddle-talk.

RIDDLEMAN: A jinx it seems, my friends, is what's wrong with this man. The curse that strikes, and mutes his voice, a spell so dark and grand.

Chester nods in understanding.

CHESTER: I got it. If we can figure out his name, he'll be able to talk again!

Cecile steps forward and focuses on the new speedster.

CECILE: I'll try to use my mind-reading powers to get his name, but it might not work. He's from a different universe.

Cecile concentrates for a moment, but then her eyes widen in surprise.

CECILE: I can't read his mind! It's like he's from a completely different dimension.

The group looks at each other, trying to figure out their next move. The new speedster holds up his orb and makes a pleading gesture, trying to communicate. Snow-Green steps forward and speaks to him in a soft voice.

SNOW-GREEN: Don't worry, we'll figure it out. We're The Flash team, after all.

The group agrees and sets to work trying to figure out the name of the new speedster and break the jinx that has silenced him.

INT. STAR LABS - DAY

Iris and Joe are sitting at a table, surrounded by various scientific equipment and gadgets. They both look deep in thought.

Iris suddenly perks up and says:

IRIS Wait a minute, I remember something!

JOE What is it, Iris?

IRIS The Central City Citizen ran a story on a supervillain who was arrested for knowing too many people's names.

JOE That's right! I remember reading about that.

Iris's eyes light up with excitement.

IRIS Do you think he could help us figure out the new speedster's name?

JOE It's worth a shot. Why don't you visit him in Iron Heights prison later and see what you can find out?

Iris nods in agreement, eager to start her investigation.

IRIS I'll do that. Let's hope he's still behind bars.

Joe grins and pats her on the back.

JOE You're a brave reporter, Iris. Good luck.

Iris smiles and heads out of Star Labs, ready to tackle her next assignment.

INT. STAR LABS LABORATORY - DAY

Snow-Green and Allegra stand in a corner of the laboratory, away from the others.

SNOW-GREEN (whispering) Allegra, I need to tell you something.

ALLEGRA (concerned) What is it, Snow?

SNOW-GREEN (teary-eyed) When Iris mentioned Evil Barry earlier, I realized that she was talking about my ex-husband from my universe. It's just bringing up a lot of emotions for me.

ALLEGRA (sympathetically) Oh, Snow. I'm so sorry.

Snow-Green starts to cry and Allegra puts an arm around her.

ALLEGRA (trying to cheer her up) Hey, cheer up. Maybe in this universe, he's a good guy.

Snow-Green tries to laugh, but it comes out as a sob.

SNOW-GREEN (between sobs) I don't know if I can handle seeing him again.

Allegra holds Snow-Green as she continues to cry. The scene ends with a shot of the two of them in the corner, with the rest of the team busy working in the background.

INT. IRON HEIGHTS PRISON - DAY

Iris enters a prison cell, facing a shady looking villain dressed in orange prison attire.

IRIS: (firm) So, you're the one who knows everyone's names?

VILLAIN: (smirks) Yes, that's right. And I know yours too, Iris West-Allen.

IRIS: (raises eyebrow) Impressive. But, we're not here to talk about me. We need to know the name of a new speedster who has appeared in Central City.

VILLAIN: (thinks for a moment) I might be able to help with that. But, there's a catch. I need a favor.

IRIS: (suspicious) What kind of favor?

VILLAIN: (grinning) I want my friend to be released from this prison. Then, I'll tell you the name of the speedster you're looking for.

IRIS: (sighs) I'll have to talk to the others first. But, I'll see what I can do.

Iris exits the cell, leaving the villain with a sly smile on his face.

FADE TO BLACK.

INT. STAR LABS - DAY

Iris is pacing back and forth, talking on the phone with Joe. Barry, Chester, and Snow-Green are looking on with concern.

IRIS (into phone) I know, Joe, but we need the answer. The new speedster's name is the only way to break the jinx and let him speak.

JOE (V.O) (on phone) Fine, Iris, but this is your responsibility. You let that villain's friend out of Iron Heights and you'll be the one answering to me.

Iris hangs up the phone and turns to the group.

IRIS (excited) We have a plan! We're going to break the jinx and save the new speedster.

CHESTER (puzzled) But how do we get his name?

IRIS (smiling) The name-knowing villain agreed to help us. In exchange, we're going to let his friend out of prison.

BARRY (nodding) It's a risk, but it's worth it if it means saving the new speedster.

SNOW-GREEN (smiling) And I'm ready for the adventure!

The group gathers their gear and heads out, determined to break the jinx and save the new speedster.

FADE TO BLACK

FADE IN:

INT. IRON HEIGHTS PRISON - DAY

Iris, Barry, Snow-Green, Chester and Riddleman stand in front of a control panel. The name-knowing villain stands nearby.

NAME-KNOWING VILLAIN (smiling slyly) The answer you seek is Emerald, a name that rhymes with the color scheme.

Iris hesitates, but takes a deep breath and pushes the button. The door to one of the cells slowly opens, and a figure steps out into the light.

EVIL BARRY (in a deep, sinister voice) Hello, friends.

Everyone in the room gasps in shock.

SNOW-GREEN (disbelief) It can't be. Evil Barry?!

RIDDLEMAN (riddle-speaking) A name that's like a precious stone, And a foe to be overthrown.

BARRY (nervously) What have we done?

IRIS (with regret) I should have listened to Joe.

EVIL BARRY (smirking) You should have. Now, I'm free to wreak havoc on your precious city once again.

The team looks at each other, unsure of what to do next.

FADE OUT.

FADE IN:

INT. IRON HEIGHTS PRISON - DAY

Evil Barry stands in front of Snow-Green, who looks on in fear.

EVIL BARRY (smirking) I've been betrayed in my own time, in my own universe. And now, I have a chance to get revenge on those who wronged me.

SNOW-GREEN (trembling) Do you recognize me?

Evil Barry looks at Snow-Green, studying her face.

EVIL BARRY (sighs) Snow-Green. My ex-wife.

Snow-Green takes a step back, but Evil Barry quickly grabs her by the arm.

EVIL BARRY (laughing) You're coming with me.

Evil Barry jumps into a time vortex that appears out of nowhere, pulling Snow-Green in with him. Chester tries to make a joke about the situation, but Allegra slaps him before he can finish.

CHESTER (laughing nervously) I guess you could say they're in a time vortex…

ALLEGRA (interrupting) Shut up, Chester.

The team stands there, shocked, as the time vortex closes.

FADE OUT.

FADE IN:

INT. STAR LABS - DAY

The team is gathered in the main lab, looking worried and stressed. Chester is pacing back and forth, rubbing his chin.

CHESTER (excitedly) Guys, I just remembered something! We have to say the name of the new speedster to break the jinx curse!

ALLEGRA (disheartened) But what good will that do? Snow-Green's still kidnapped by Evil Barry.

BARRY (determined) We'll figure out a way to save her. We always do.

IRIS (thinking) But first, we need to know the name of the new speedster.

CHESTER (quipping) Well, it's time to "Say My Name" like Destiny's Child.

Everyone looks at Chester, confused.

ALLEGRA (slapping Chester's arm) Chester, this isn't the time for jokes.

RIDDLEMAN (riddle-speaking) A name not said, it stays untold, But say it now, and truth be told.

JOE (nodding) Let's do this. On the count of three. One, two, three.

ALL Emerald!

Everyone waits for a moment, but nothing seems to happen.

BARRY (disappointed) I guess it didn't work.

CHESTER (shrugging) Maybe we need a bigger chorus.

ALLEGRA (frustrated) Chester, seriously?!

FADE OUT.

FADE IN:

INT. STAR LABS - DAY

The team stands in the lab, looking at a monitor displaying the time vortex. They all look worried and defeated. Chester makes a joke about Destiny's Child, trying to lighten the mood.

CHESTER (smiling weakly) Say my name, say my name.

Suddenly, a figure stumbles into the room, panting heavily. It's Emerald, the new speedster.

EMERALD (breathless) You have to listen to me! The orbs and the time vortex, they're connected!

Everyone turns to look at him, surprised by his sudden appearance and coherent speech.

BARRY (confused) What are you talking about?

EMERALD (urgently) The orbs, they're not just random anomalies. They're portals to other times and universes. And the time vortex, it's not just a strange occurrence. It's being controlled by someone.

Everyone listens intently, hanging on to every word.

IRIS (determined) We need to find a way to stop them. To save Snow-Green.

JOE (nodding) And to make sure that this doesn't happen again.

ALLEGRA (firmly) Right. We need to find a way to close the portals and stop the vortex.

RIDDLEMAN (riddle-speaking) A path so bright, yet so unknown, A journey ahead, but not alone.

CHESTER (smiling) Well, we've got a new speedster on our team now. That's a start, right?

The team looks at each other, determination in their eyes.

FADE OUT.

FADE IN:

INT. TIME DUNGEON - DAY

Snow-Green is seen looking around the dark and eerie time dungeon, searching for a way out. She rubs her hands together to try and warm them up, when suddenly they start to glow a bright green.

SNOW-GREEN (startled) Oh no, it's happening again. (pauses) I guess you could say my hands are…lit! (chuckles)

She lets out a small laugh, then looks sad as she thinks about Chester.

SNOW-GREEN (cont'd) Chester would have loved that one. (sighs) I hope he's okay back in the present.

Suddenly, a door in the distance creaks open. Snow-Green's eyes widen in surprise and she makes a dash for it, not knowing what awaits her on the other side.

FADE TO BLACK.

INT. JOE AND CECILE'S BEDROOM - NIGHT

Joe and Cecile are sleeping peacefully. Suddenly, Cecile jumps up, a look of terror on her face.

CECILE: (muttering in her sleep) A rock from the sky, a flash of light, a riddle in the night.

Joe stirs, waking up and seeing that something is wrong with his wife.

JOE: (worried) Cecile, what's going on?

CECILE: (not realizing she's speaking out loud) A meteor, a sign, a warning divine.

JOE: (confused) What are you talking about, honey?

CECILE: (still not realizing she's awake) I don't know, but it feels so real…

Joe reaches for his phone and dials Iris.

INT. STAR LABS - NIGHT

Iris is working late when she hears her phone ring. She answers.

IRIS: (into the phone) Joe, what's going on?

JOE: (on the phone) Iris, you gotta come to the house. Cecile just had a vision and she's muttering something about a meteor and a riddle.

IRIS: (alarmed) I'm on my way.

Iris hangs up the phone and grabs her coat, rushing out the door and heading to Joe and Cecile's house. The scene ends with a shot of the mysterious orb, glowing in the darkness.

INT. CHESTER'S APARTMENT - DAY

Chester and Allegra are sitting on Chester's couch, trying to make conversation but feeling awkward. They both seem nervous and unsure of what to say or do.

CHESTER: (trying to lighten the mood) So, have you played Settlers of Catan?

ALLEGRA: (smiling) Yeah, it's like trying to build a settlement while being nervous, you never know what resources you're going to get.

Just as they finally start to relax, both of their phones beep, interrupting the moment. Chester and Allegra look at each other, knowing that it's probably a call from Team Flash.

CHESTER: (sighing) Duty calls.

ALLEGRA: (smiling) I guess we'll have to continue this later.

Chester and Allegra get up from the couch, phones in hand, and head towards Star Labs, ready for another adventure with Team Flash.

INT. STAR LABS - DAY

Joe and Cecile are sitting in the lab, as Snow-Green scans Cecile's brain.

SNOW-GREEN: (making a complicated joke about the brain) Well, it looks like Cecile's brainwaves are as tangled as a game of 3D chess.

Chester laughs out loud, but Allegra gives him a look.

ALLEGRA: (teasing) Chester, you always laugh at Snow-Green's jokes.

CHESTER: (defending himself) Hey, I can't help it, she's funny!

Iris is sitting at a computer, doing some internet research on the phrase "meteor and orb dream."

IRIS: (excitedly) Guys, I think I've found something. "Meteor and orb dream" is a riddle that's been passed down for generations. It's said to foretell the arrival of a powerful being.

Everyone stops and looks at Iris, surprised.

JOE: (concerned) A powerful being? That doesn't sound good.

CEClLE: (nervously) I had a dream about a meteor and an orb… does that mean I'm the one who's supposed to bring this powerful being here?

SNOW-GREEN: (analytically) It's possible, but we need to gather more information before we can be sure.

BARRY: (optimistically) Well, we'll just have to work together to figure it out. That's what we do best, right?

Everyone nods in agreement, and they all get to work, ready to face whatever may come their way.

INT. BANK - DAY

A figure stands in front of a safe, a sinister grin on their face. Suddenly, the money inside the safe begins to melt and form a puddle on the floor.

SUPERVILLAIN (to themselves): (excitedly) "Money, money, money… must be funny… in the rich man's world."

The police arrive, guns drawn.

POLICE OFFICER: (commanding) Freeze!

The figure turns around, revealing themselves to be a new supervillain with a distinctive red suit and a mask covering their face. They have a metallic device in their hand that is causing the money to melt.

SUPERVILLAIN: (making a pop culture reference) "It's not easy being green."

The police officers hesitate, unsure what to do next.

SUPERVILLAIN: (making another pop culture reference) "I'm the one and only, the Liquidator!"

The supervillain melts their way through the wall and disappears. The police officers quickly call Team Flash on their phones.

CUT TO:

INT. STAR LABS - DAY

Team Flash is still occupied with Cecile's visions and the mysterious riddles. The phone rings, and Joe answers it.

JOE: (into phone) Team Flash, what's up?

POLICE OFFICER: (on phone) We need your help. There's a new supervillain in town and he just melted the money at the bank.

JOE: (concerned) We're on it.

Iris looks up from her research.

IRIS: (excitedly) We can't leave Cecile like this. We need to stay here and figure out what's causing her visions.

CHESTER: (agrees) Yeah, the Liquidator can wait.

SNOW-GREEN: (resolutely) We'll handle Cecile first, and then go after the Liquidator.

The team nods in agreement and continues their work at Star Labs, determined to uncover the truth behind Cecile's visions and riddles.

FADE TO BLACK.

INT. STAR LABS - DAY

Allegra is sitting at a computer, analyzing the tachyon particles, while Chester is standing next to her, looking at the monitor.

CHESTER: (awkwardly) Uh, Allegra, I wanted to apologize for the way the date went. I know it was really awkward.

ALLEGRA: (busy analyzing the particles) Mmmhmm…

CHESTER: (jokingly) I guess you're just more interested in Tachyon particles than me.

ALLEGRA: (smiling) Ha! Very funny, Chester.

Just as Allegra finishes her sentence, the Tachyon alarm starts beeping loudly, grabbing their attention.

ALLEGRA: (excitedly) Whoa! Look at that!

CHESTER: (surprised) What's happening?

ALLEGRA: (excitedly) The Tachyon levels are skyrocketing! Something big must be happening!

The team rushes over to the computer as the alarm continues to blare. They know that they need to act fast to prevent any damage or danger.

INT. STAR LABS - DAY

A flash of smoke appears next to the tachyon meter and Harrison Wells from the riddle-speaking universe steps out. He stands in the middle of the room, holding his orb. The team is gathered around him, looking curious and a little confused.

HARRISON WELLS: (in a cryptic tone) Greetings, from a place where words are meant to be twisted, turned, and solved. I am known as Riddleman.

CECILE: (whispering to herself) The orb…

Cecile walks into the room, drawn to the orb in Riddleman's hands. She stares at it, mesmerized.

RIDDLEMAN: (smiling) Ah, you are drawn to the orb. It contains the answers to many mysteries.

BARRY: (stepping forward) What can you tell us about the orb, Riddleman?

RIDDLEMAN: (riddling) The orb is the key to unlocking what has been hidden, a treasure trove of knowledge that has been given.

IRIS: (skeptically) That's a pretty big claim. Can you prove it?

RIDDLEMAN: (laughing) Proof? The proof is in the pudding, my dear. But do not be fooled, this orb is no mere trifle.

Chester and Allegra exchange a look, still trying to decipher Riddleman's riddles. The team looks at Riddleman, wondering what his true intentions are.

INT. LIQUIDATOR'S HIDEOUT - DAY

The Liquidator is counting stacks of melted money, his eyes bright with excitement. Suddenly, his phone rings. He answers it with a giddy voice.

LIQUIDATOR: (in a giddy voice) "Phone home."

MYSTERIOUS VOICE: (whispering) I have a tip for you. There's a ton of money at Big Belly Burger.

LIQUIDATOR: (laughing) "I'll be back."

He hangs up the phone and rubs his hands together in anticipation.

LIQUIDATOR: (excitedly) "Houston, we have lift-off!"

He quickly gathers his gear and heads out the door, ready to make his next big score.

CUT TO:

EXT. BIG BELLY BURGER - DAY

The Liquidator approaches the fast food restaurant, his eyes shining with glee. He pulls out his melting gun, ready to do some damage.

LIQUIDATOR: (laughing) "Say hello to my little friend!"

FADE TO BLACK.

INT. STAR LABS - DAY

RIDDLEMAN: (smiling) I offer to help you solve any riddle, to prove my loyalty to your team.

CHESTER: (joking) Ah, the love of a good woman is like a riddle.

ALLEGRA: (rolling her eyes) Chester…

CECILE: (serious) Riddleman, can you help us with this meteor riddle I keep muttering in my sleep?

RIDDLEMAN: (excited) Ah, the meteor riddle! Let me see… "Where is the meteor that fell from the sky, hidden from sight, but still close by?"

The team leans in, eager to hear the answer.

RIDDLEMAN: (smiling) The answer is Big Belly Burger. The word "meatier" rhymes with "meteor".

IRIS: (surprised) Really? That's the answer?

RIDDLEMAN: (nodding) Yes, my dear. The meteor has landed, and it's waiting for you at Big Belly Burger.

BARRY: (determined) We have to go check it out.

The team nods in agreement, and they quickly head out to Big Belly Burger to see what they can find.

INT. BIG BELLY BURGER - DAY

Team Flash, including the Riddleman, arrives at Big Belly Burger. The Liquidator is there, holding a large vat of melted money.

LIQUIDATOR: (quoting a movie) "Life is like a box of chocolates, you never know what you're gonna get."

The Liquidator starts pouring more money into the vat, constantly talking in movie quotes.

RIDDLEMAN: (riddling) "The answer to the riddle is near, where coins and bills disappear."

BARRY: (looking around) We need to stop the Liquidator before he melts anymore money.

The Liquidator suddenly stops and gasps. He pulls out a small meteor from the vat of melted money.

LIQUIDATOR: (quoting another movie) "Houston, we have a problem."

IRIS: (approaching the Liquidator) What do you want with the meteor?

LIQUIDATOR: (smiling) "Money talks, and the meteor speaks volumes."

RIDDLEMAN: (riddling) "The rock from space holds secrets untold, and riches beyond measure to unfold."

The Liquidator and Riddleman exchange a look, both intrigued by the meteor. Team Flash is left to figure out their next move.

INT. BIG BELLY BURGER - DAY

The Liquidator continues to melt all of the money, reciting famous movie quotes with glee. Team Flash watches from a distance, trying to come up with a plan. Suddenly, Snow-Green's phone beeps with a Google Alert.

SNOW-GREEN: (excitedly) Guys, I've got it! The Liquidator's real name is Harvey Fogg and he used to be an accountant for mad scientists. That's where he got the money melting gun from.

BARRY: (impressed) Great work, Snow-Green! That gives us a lot to work with.

CHESTER: (jokingly) And now all we need is a speech from the Fastest Man Alive to take down this former bean counter.

Barry nods, thinking.

BARRY: (thoughtfully) The Liquidator may have stolen from the mad scientists, but he's not just a thief. He's a threat to the city and we need to stop him. We can't let him continue to wreak havoc with his pop culture references and punny name. We'll take him down and make sure he's held accountable for his actions.

Snow-Green and Chester nod in agreement. Barry turns to the rest of Team Flash, ready for action.

BARRY: (determined) Let's do this.

The team moves forward, ready to take down the Liquidator and save the city once again.

INT. BIG BELLY BURGER - DAY

The Liquidator holds the money melting gun up to the meteor, determined to destroy it. Barry, Snow-Green, and Riddleman stand off to the side, watching intently.

BARRY: (stepping forward) Wait! Why melt money, when you can melt hearts?

The Liquidator turns to Barry, intrigued.

BARRY: (gesturing to Chester and Allegra) Take Chester and Allegra, for example. They had a pretty passionate makeout session at the pizzeria the other night.

The Liquidator raises an eyebrow, surprised.

LIQUIDATOR: (quoting a movie) "Love is a many-splendored thing."

BARRY: Exactly. And melting money isn't going to bring you any happiness or fulfillment.

The Liquidator lowers the gun, considering Barry's words.

LIQUIDATOR: (sighing) You're right. I don't need to destroy this meteor. I can find happiness in other ways.

He hands the meteor over to Barry, who carefully takes it from him.

BARRY: (smiling) Thank you, Liquidator. It's never too late to change your ways.

The Liquidator nods, before disappearing in a flash of smoke. The team watches him go, before turning their attention back to the meteor.

SNOW-GREEN: (whispering to Barry) That was quite a speech.

BARRY: (smiling) I try my best.

The team sets to work, studying the meteor and uncovering its secrets. The scene fades to black.

INT. STAR LABS - DAY

The team is gathered around a table, enjoying their ice cream party. There are smiles all around, and the atmosphere is light and happy.

SNOW-GREEN: (laughing) Riddleman, you are something else! I never knew riddles could be so fun.

RIDDLEMAN: (grinning) Ah, my dear, life is a riddle. The trick is to solve it before it solves you.

ALLEGRA: (gazing at Chester) And sometimes, the solution is as simple as love.

CHESTER: (smiling back at Allegra) I couldn't agree more.

BARRY: (looking at Iris) Just like this meteor. It may be small, but it holds within it a universe of possibilities.

IRIS: (nodding) And just like our love, it may not be the flashiest or the brightest, but it is strong and unbreakable.

Everyone exchanges glances and smiles, happy to be in each other's company. The celebration continues, as they all enjoy their ice cream and the victory they just achieved.

FADE IN:

INT. CECILE & JOE'S BEDROOM - NIGHT

Cecile and Joe are lying in bed, holding each other.

CECILE: (sighing) I'm just so happy to have our friends and family together again.

JOE: (smiling) Me too, babe. It's been a great day.

CECILE: (sitting up suddenly) But wait! I just remembered, I never got the answer to what the orb was in my dream.

JOE: (concerned) What orb?

Suddenly, there's an explosion outside of their house. Joe jumps out of bed and runs to the window.

JOE: (alarmed) What the hell was that?!

CECILE: (frightened) I don't know, but it doesn't sound good.

They both run to the window and look outside. A mysterious speedster is standing in the street, holding another orb.

CECILE: (whispering) Who is that?

JOE: (whispering) I don't know, but I have a feeling this is just the beginning.

FADE OUT.

INT. WEST RESIDENCE - DAY

Barry wakes up in bed, groggy and disoriented. He tries to speak, but nothing comes out. He looks around the room in alarm, then tries again to speak.

BARRY: (silent, gestures frantically) Iris!

Iris turns over in bed, still asleep. Barry gets up and starts to walk around the room, trying to find a way to communicate.

Iris stirs, then opens her eyes.

IRIS: (yawning) Good morning, Barry.

Barry tries to speak again, but still nothing comes out. He gestures wildly, trying to get Iris' attention.

IRIS: (laughing) What's with you, Barry? You're acting like you've lost your voice or something.

Barry continues to gesture and point, but Iris just shakes her head, laughing.

IRIS: (smiling) Come on, Barry. I've got work to do. I'll see you later.

She gets up and heads to the bathroom, leaving Barry alone and frustrated.

BARRY: (muttering silently) I've got to figure out what's wrong with me.

He starts to pace the room, looking for clues. As he walks, he sees the time on the clock and realizes that he's running out of time to find a solution.

CUT TO:

INT. CENTRAL CITY CITIZEN NEWSPAPER - DAY

Iris is at her desk, working on her latest article. She's deep in thought, typing away at her keyboard.

The phone rings, and she answers it.

IRIS: (answering) Central City Citizen.

As she talks on the phone, Barry continues to search for a solution to his problem. He tries writing down what he wants to say, but the words come out garbled and meaningless.

BARRY: (frustrated) This is ridiculous. I have to find a way to fix this.

He continues to pace the room, trying to come up with a solution. As the scene ends, he is still searching for a way to speak.

FADE TO BLACK.

INT. STAR LABS - DAY

Allegra and Chester are working at their desks, both avoiding eye contact with each other. The tension between them is palpable.

CHESTER: (awkwardly) So, uh, how's the reporting going?

ALLEGRA: (awkwardly) It's fine. Just fine.

There's a tense silence between them before Chester breaks it.

CHESTER: (awkwardly) You know what they say, reporting is like pizza. Sometimes you just need to take a bite.

Allegra rolls her eyes, clearly not amused.

ALLEGRA: (sighs) Chester, about what happened at the pizzeria…

CHESTER: (interrupts) Look, I know it was awkward.

ALLEGRA: (nodding) Yes. And I just wanted to make it clear that we're not together. I mean, we're colleagues, but that's it.

Chester nods, looking relieved.

CHESTER: (nodding) Got it. Colleagues.

Just then, they hear a loud noise coming from inside the secret wall at Star Labs. They quickly run over to investigate and find the new green version of Caitlin Snow, "Snow-Green", hiding inside.

SNOW-GREEN: (excitedly) Hey there! I'm Snow-Green! And you two are…

ALLEGRA: (surprised) Allegra and Chester.

SNOW-GREEN: (smiling) Awesome! Nice to meet you guys. You know what they say, blenders are like secret walls. They're always full of surprises.

Chester laughs, but Allegra looks skeptical.

CHESTER: (laughing) Chester would have loved that!

Snow-Green grins, clearly pleased with herself.

SNOW-GREEN: (grinning) I thought so. Now, let's go find the rest of the team!

The screen fades to black as Snow-Green leads Allegra and Chester out of the secret wall and into the main lab.

INT. STAR LABS - DAY

Barry arrives at Star Labs and Chester and Allegra greet him, trying to hide their awkwardness.

CHESTER: (excitedly) Hey, Barry! We have a surprise for you!

ALLEGRA: (awkwardly) Yeah, meet Snow-Green.

Snow-Green emerges from behind the wall, looking at Barry curiously.

SNOW-GREEN: (confused) Why isn't he talking? Is he being rude or something?

CHESTER: (jokingly) Nah, he just lost his voice. Maybe he's been using it too much to shout "Blend that, Barry!"

Everyone laughs, but Allegra looks at Chester jealously.

ALLEGRA: (sternly) Chester, that's not funny.

CHESTER: (awkwardly) Sorry, I was just trying to lighten the mood.

Barry gestures for a notepad and pen, and writes a message to Snow-Green.

BARRY (writing): I lost my voice, it's not a joke.

SNOW-GREEN: (surprised) Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to offend you.

Barry shrugs and smiles, and Snow-Green returns the smile.

SNOW-GREEN: (excitedly) So, what brings you here today?

The scene ends with Barry and Snow-Green walking off to start their day at Star Labs, while Chester and Allegra are left to awkwardly talk about their own issues.

INT. IRIS' NEWSPAPER OFFICE - DAY

Iris is sitting at her desk, typing away on her computer. She's on the phone with one of her sources, trying to get more information for her latest article. Suddenly, her phone rings again. She answers it, sounding frustrated.

IRIS: (into the phone) Iris West-Allen.

ANONYMOUS VILLAIN: (whispering) I have a story for you, Ms. West-Allen. A story about a hero who's lost his voice.

IRIS: (cautiously) Who is this?

ANONYMOUS VILLAIN: (chuckles) Let's just say I have a little bit of experience when it comes to stealing voices.

Iris's eyes widen as she realizes the connection to Barry's condition. She quickly hangs up the phone and grabs her bag, ready to head to Star Labs.

IRIS: (to herself) I need to get to Star Labs and see what's going on. This villain might be behind Barry's silence.

Iris rushes out of her office, determined to get to the bottom of this mystery. The screen fades to black.

INT. STAR LABS CAFETERIA - DAY

Barry is sitting at a table with Snow-Green, both of them holding bowls of CC Jitters Coffee Soup.

SNOW-GREEN: (sipping the soup) In my universe, this soup is a miracle cure for anyone who's lost their voice.

BARRY: (trying the soup) (muttering) It doesn't seem to be working.

Snow-Green notices Barry's disappointment and tries to lighten the mood.

SNOW-GREEN: (jokingly) Well, I guess you'll just have to rely on gestures and interpretive dance to communicate.

Chester, who is in the other room, overhears the joke and bursts out laughing.

CHESTER: (laughing) That's hilarious!

Allegra, who is also in the room, glares at Chester.

ALLEGRA: (sighing) Why do you always have to ruin the moment?

Chester's laughter dies down, and the room falls silent. Barry looks from Snow-Green to Allegra, sensing the tension.

BARRY: (thinking) This is going to be a long day.

INT. STAR LABS - DAY

Iris enters the laboratory, and approaches Allegra who is working on a computer.

IRIS: (excitedly) Allegra, you won't believe what just happened. I got a call from a source, a supervillain is on the loose and their power is to steal voices.

ALLEGRA: (surprised) Really? Do you think it could be related to Barry losing his voice?

IRIS: (nodding) That's exactly what I was thinking. It could be a possible lead.

ALLEGRA: (excitedly) Let's run some tests and see if there's a connection.

Iris nods in agreement and they both head over to the computer to start working on the case.

IRIS: (awkwardly) Oh, and uh, about what happened at the pizzeria the other day, I was just wondering if you wanted to talk about it.

ALLEGRA: (ignoring) Right now, let's just focus on solving this case. We can talk about that later.

Iris nods, understanding the need to focus on their work. The two of them start running tests and searching for any leads on the voice-stealing villain. The screen fades to black.

INT. BANK - DAY

The bank is filled with panicked customers as the voice stealing supervillain walks in with a menacing grin. The teller stands frozen with fear as the villain approaches.

VOICE STEALING SUPERVILLAIN: (smiling) Good morning. I have a little proposition for you. Open the bank vault, or I'll take your voice.

BANK TELLER: (frightened) Please, don't hurt me. I'll do what you want.

The bank teller quickly rushes to the vault and opens it, revealing a pile of cash and valuables. The voice stealing supervillain takes one look at the haul and cackles with delight.

VOICE STEALING SUPERVILLAIN: (chuckling) I love it when things go according to plan.

The villain reaches out his hand and steals the bank teller's voice, leaving them gagging and struggling to speak. The other customers look on in terror, not knowing what to do. The voice stealing supervillain turns to the rest of the bank, ready to steal more voices.

FADE TO BLACK.

INT. STAR LABS - DAY

CHESTER: (answering phone) Hello, Chester speaking.

JOE: (excitedly) Hey Chester, it's Joe!

CHESTER: (surprised) Hey Joe, what's going on?

JOE: (urgently) I'm calling to tell you guys about a bank robbery. A supervillain with the power to steal voices just walked in and took over the place.

CHESTER: (concerned) That's serious, Joe. We'll be right on it.

Chester quickly puts Joe on speakerphone so that everyone in Star Labs can hear.

JOE: (joking) Oh, and by the way, how was that pizza date with Allegra?

Chester quickly hangs up the phone before Joe can finish his joke, but the awkward tension in the room is palpable.

SNOW-GREEN: (laughing) What was that all about?

IRIS: (trying to defuse the situation) Just Joe being Joe. We need to focus on the bank robbery right now.

ALLEGRA: (awkwardly) Yeah, let's go.

BARRY: (trying to talk, but unable to speak) Uh..uhh..

IRIS: (concerned) Barry, are you okay? Can you talk?

BARRY: (shaking his head) Uh..uhh..

SNOW-GREEN: (noticing Barry's condition) Oh no, did he lose his voice too?

IRIS: (determined) We'll figure it out. Come on, let's go stop that villain.

The group heads to the bank to stop the voice stealing villain, putting their personal issues and Barry's condition aside for the time being.

INT. BANK - DAY

The group arrives at the bank to find the voice stealing villain in action. He has just stolen the bank manager's voice and is now addressing the hostages.

VOICE STEALING VILLAIN: (laughing) Now, now, everyone. I have a terrible pun name that I've given myself. I am the "Silent Thief"!

BARRY: (trying to speak) Flash is here to stop you!

But Barry's voice is still stolen, and he can only manage a few grunts and noises. He tries to convey his message through gestures and expressions, flipping off the villain in frustration.

SNOW-GREEN: (excited) Barry, what are you doing?

BARRY: (frustrated, gesturing) I can't talk!

ALLEGRA: (concerned) We need to figure out a way to get his voice back.

IRIS: (firm) We'll take care of the voice stealing villain first.

The group springs into action, ready to stop the Silent Thief and save the hostages.

INT. BANK - DAY

The SILENT THIEF, with a mischievous grin, laughs as he speaks in the bank manager's voice.

SILENT THIEF: (mockingly) You'll never catch me, I have all the voices now!

CHESTER: (trying to hide a laugh) Ugh, that pun was terrible.

ALLEGRA: (determined) I won't let his jokes distract me. She aims her light beam weapon at the Silent Thief, but he quickly dodges it.

SILENT THIEF: (laughing) Oh, you missed!

BARRY, who is still unable to speak, attempts to communicate with the group through gestures and body language.

BARRY: (pointing to himself) I'm the Flash, I'll stop this guy.

The group joins forces to stop the Silent Thief, but he proves to be a formidable opponent with his ability to steal voices. The scene ends with a cliffhanger, leaving the audience wondering if the Flash will be able to defeat the Silent Thief and regain his voice.

INT. STAR LABS - DAY

The group returns to Star Labs, looking defeated. Barry is still unable to speak, causing frustration to show on his face. Chester ponders over the situation, trying to come up with a solution.

CHESTER: (excitedly) Wait a minute, sound is just vibrations right?

ALLEGRA: (nodding) Yeah, that's correct.

CHESTER: (excitedly) Then, if Barry can move his vocal chords fast enough, he should be able to talk!

BARRY: (excitedly) I'll give it a shot!

Barry moves his vocal chords as fast as he can and produces a faint, but audible sound.

BARRY: (excitedly) It worked!

SNOW-GREEN: (laughing) Your throat must feel like jelly after that!

Everyone laughs, relieved that Barry's voice is back.

BARRY: (hungrily) Can I have some more soup now?

SNOW-GREEN: (surprised) That's strange. I think I recognize the villain from my universe. He has a weakness… soup!

IRIS: (excitedly) That's it! That's how we can defeat him!

The group is re-energized and ready to take down the voice-stealing villain once and for all.

INT. STAR LABS - DAY

CHESTER: (answering phone) Chester here, what's up Joe?

JOE: (excitedly) The Silent Thief is up to his old tricks again. He's attacking the CC Jitters Arena, trying to steal Adele's voice during her big concert.

CHESTER: (jokingly) Oh no! We can't let him steal Adele's "Hello".

ALLEGRA: (laughing) Or her "Someone Like You".

CHESTER and ALLEGRA lock eyes and share a moment of laughter, before the situation turns serious.

BARRY: (excitedly) Let's go!

The group quickly heads to the arena to stop the Silent Thief and save Adele's voice.

FADE TO BLACK.

INT. CC JITTERS ARENA - DAY

The SILENT THIEF approaches the backstage area during the big Adele concert, determined to steal her voice. He opens her dressing room door, and is met with a surprise.

SILENT THIEF: (disappointed) Oh no, it's just you.

BARRY: (voice still squeaky) Hey, watch who you're talking to buddy.

Barry stands in front of Adele, determined to protect her. He pulls out a container of soup and holds it high.

BARRY: (squeaky) This may not be my strongest weapon, but it's my best shot.

Barry uses Flashtime to pour the soup onto the Silent Thief's head. As soon as the soup touches his skin, the thief screams in agony. Barry exits Flashtime and gives the thief a stern lecture.

BARRY: (squeaky) You may have taken people's voices, but you can never take away the power of love and music. That's what this concert is about, spreading love and joy through the power of song.

The thief is defeated and Adele continues with her performance, as Barry and Iris look on.

ADELE: (singing) Hello, it's me…

As Adele serenades Barry and Iris with her most popular song, Chester makes a joke about the power of soup.

CHESTER: (joking) I guess you could say, "Someone like soup" can really warm the heart.

Everyone laughs and cheers as Adele continues her concert, ending the night on a high note.

INT. STAR LABS - DAY

The team is all smiles, happy to have stopped the Silent Thief and saved Adele's voice. They are all talking about the concert and the memorable moments.

IRIS: (joking) You know, the concert was probably more romantic than a busy pizzeria.

Chester and Allegra look at each other awkwardly, their faces turning red.

CHESTER: (nervously) Uh, yeah… about that pizzeria…

SNOW-GREEN: (curious) What happened at the pizzeria?

CHESTER: (pausing for a moment, then speaking confidently) Well, I fell in love with Allegra there.

Everyone stops and looks at Chester, surprised by his confession.

ALLEGRA: (surprised) Chester, I… I had no idea.

IRIS: (excitedly) This is so romantic!

BARRY: (excitedly) I love it when love is in the air.

Snow-Green looks on, happy for her friends. The team continues to celebrate their victory and the new love that has just bloomed.

JOE: (winking) Just keep your hands off each other when you're in public, kids.

Everyone laughs and continues to celebrate, happy to have saved the day and found love in the process.

INT. STAR LABS - LATE NIGHT

The lab is quiet and dark. Suddenly, a blender falls out of the garbage can and spits out a person. It's Harrison Wells, but this time from a different universe.

HARRISON WELLS: (riddle-talking) What starts with a mix and ends with a mystery? A blender and I, quite clearly!

He holds an orb in his hand, glowing with a strange energy.

HARRISON WELLS: (smiling) Ah, it's good to be back in Central City. I have a feeling this universe is going to be a real riddle-ly adventure.

The screen fades to black as Harrison Wells walks off into the shadows.

INT. WEST FAMILY HOME - KITCHEN

Iris is making a smoothie in her blender, humming to herself as she works. Suddenly, the blender starts to emit a strange, high-pitched noise, and the kitchen begins to shake. Iris tries to turn the blender off, but it won't stop.

IRIS (yelling) Barry!

Barry enters the kitchen, a look of alarm on his face.

BARRY What's going on?

IRIS The blender, it won't stop!

Barry approaches the blender, trying to turn it off. As he does, a bright light begins to emit from the blender, growing in intensity until it engulfs the entire kitchen.

CUT TO:

EXT. WEST FAMILY HOME - SAME TIME

The light explodes out of the kitchen window, forming a swirling vortex in the air. People on the street begin to panic and run away as the vortex grows larger and more intense.

BARRY (to Iris) What have you done?!

IRIS I don't know! It was just a smoothie!

Barry and Iris stand at the edge of the vortex, staring in awe as it continues to grow. Suddenly, a figure appears in the center of the vortex, emerging from the other side.

END SCENE

INT. STAR LABS - LAB

Chester and Allegra are standing in front of a computer screen, trying to flirt with each other. Chester is nervous, stuttering as he tries to make a witty comment. Allegra just rolls her eyes, trying to keep things professional.

CHESTER S-so, uh, Allegra. Do you have any hobbies?

ALLEGRA (sighing) Work is my hobby, Chester. What about you?

CHESTER (smiling) Well, I love to code. And I've been told I have a pretty great sense of humor.

Just as Chester is about to say something else, a beeping sound comes from the computer. They both turn to look at the screen, where a flashing red alert is displayed.

CHESTER (CONT'D) What's that?

ALLEGRA (excitedly) It looks like a temporal disturbance!

Chester and Allegra quickly move to the console, bringing up a map of Central City. A large vortex is shown in the center of the city, surrounded by an energy field.

CHESTER (amazed) That's a time vortex!

ALLEGRA (urgently) We need to tell Barry and the rest of the team right away!

Chester and Allegra rush out of the lab, running down the hallway towards the control room.

END SCENE

INT. CC JITTERS - DINING AREA

Joe and Cecile are sitting at a booth, enjoying their dinner. Suddenly, Cecile's phone beeps with an incoming text message. She picks it up and reads it, her eyes widening in shock.

CECILE (excitedly) Joe, we have a situation!

JOE (concerned) What is it?

CECILE (serious) There's a time vortex in the middle of Central City, and it's causing chaos and destruction.

Joe quickly finishes his meal and stands up, grabbing his coat.

JOE (CONT'D) Let's go.

Cecile closes her eyes for a moment, concentrating. When she opens them again, she has a look of realization on her face.

CECILE (CONT'D) I think I know what caused it.

JOE (surprised) What? How?

CECILE (excitedly) I can feel it. Iris must have created it with her blender.

Joe and Cecile quickly leave the restaurant, running towards Star Labs.

END SCENE

INT. WEST FAMILY HOME - KITCHEN

Barry and Iris are staring at the figure that emerged from the vortex, a look of shock and disbelief on their faces. The figure is revealed to be another version of Barry, this time dressed in a green suit and wearing a helmet. He grins at them, revving the engine of his motorcycle.

EVIL BARRY (smiling) Well, well, well. Look what we have here.

GOOD BARRY (confused) Who are you?

EVIL BARRY (laughing) I'm you, from the future. And I've come for a little fun.

Good Barry steps forward, looking defiant.

GOOD BARRY (determined) What kind of fun?

EVIL BARRY (smiling) A race. You and me, motorcycles. Winner takes all.

Good Barry thinks for a moment, then nods.

GOOD BARRY (smiling) You're on.

The two Barrys climb onto their motorcycles and rev their engines, ready to race. The vortex begins to close behind them, as they take off down the street, disappearing into the night.

END SCENE

INT. WEST FAMILY HOME - LIVING ROOM

Iris is pacing back and forth in the living room, looking upset and confused. Joe, Cecile, Allegra, and Chester burst into the room, panting and out of breath.

JOE (worried) Iris, what happened?

IRIS (frantic) Barry and another version of him just disappeared on motorcycles!

ALLEGRA (concerned) Where did they go?

Iris shrugs, still looking bewildered. Chester steps forward, trying to lighten the mood.

CHESTER (smiling) Well, motorcycles are like dishwashers. They're always spinning out of control.

Everyone turns to look at Chester, who gives a sheepish grin. Iris rolls her eyes, still looking worried.

IRIS (exasperated) Chester, now is not the time for jokes.

JOE (serious) We need to find out what happened to Barry and figure out a way to stop this other version of him.

The group nods in agreement, moving towards the door to start their investigation.

END SCENE

INT. CC JITTERS DOWNS - STARTING LINE

Good Barry and Evil Barry are standing at the starting line, revving their engines and ready to race. The crowd of onlookers is cheering and shouting, excited to see the two speedsters in action.

Suddenly, two figures appear in the stands, one wearing a red suit and the other wearing a yellow suit. They are revealed to be good Thawne and evil Thawne, who are on a date together.

GOOD THAWNE (excitedly) This is going to be quite the show.

EVIL THAWNE (smirking) Indeed. I can't wait to see who comes out on top.

Good Barry and Evil Barry take their positions, getting ready for the race. The crowd falls silent, as the two speedsters rev their engines, waiting for the starting gun.

The starting gun goes off, and the two Barrys take off, their motorcycles roaring down the track. Good Thawne and Evil Thawne watch from the stands, cheering and clapping as the two speedsters race towards the finish line.

END SCENE

INT. ROAD TO STAR LABS

Iris, Chester, Allegra, Cecile, and Joe are all riding electric scooters down the road towards Star Labs. Chester is making jokes and trying to lighten the mood, but the others are focused on finding a way to stop Evil Barry.

CHESTER (laughing) You know, electric scooters are like blenders. They're fun to ride, but you never know what's going to happen when you push the wrong button.

Allegra chuckles, but the others barely crack a smile. Suddenly, Iris has an idea.

IRIS (excitedly) Wait a minute, Chester! That's it! The blender!

The others look at her, confused.

JOE (perplexed) Iris, what are you talking about?

IRIS (explaining) What if we use the blender to create another time vortex and trap Evil Barry?

CECILE (doubtful) But how would that even work?

IRIS (determined) We'll find a way. We have to stop him before he does any more damage.

The others nod in agreement, accelerating their scooters towards Star Labs. Chester can't help but make one more joke.

CHESTER (grinning) Well, I guess this is where we find out if blenders and scooters mix.

Allegra laughs, but the others are already focused on their plan.

END SCENE

INT. CC JITTERS DOWNS - RACE TRACK

Good Barry and Evil Barry are racing motorcycles at CC Jitters Downs. The speed is intense and the audience is on the edge of their seats as the two speedsters approach the finish line.

Suddenly, Good Barry enters Flashtime and everything slows down around him. He pulls his motorcycle to a stop and looks around, confused.

SPEEDFORCE (voice echoing) Barry Allen, why have you entered Flashtime?

Good Barry looks around, trying to locate the source of the voice.

GOOD BARRY (surprised) Speedforce? Is that you?

SPEEDFORCE (resonant voice) Yes, it is I. Why have you entered Flashtime, Barry?

GOOD BARRY (urgently) I need your help. Evil Barry is here, and he's trying to destroy Central City.

SPEEDFORCE (emphatic voice) I know. The fabric of time is being threatened. You must stop him, Barry.

GOOD BARRY (determined) I will. But I need your help. How can I stop him?

SPEEDFORCE (whispering voice) Use your powers wisely, Barry. Remember, with great power comes great responsibility.

Good Barry nods, taking the words to heart. He exits Flashtime and speeds back towards the finish line. The crowd cheers as he speeds past Evil Barry and crosses the finish line first.

Evil Barry pulls his motorcycle to a stop, furious that he has lost. Good Barry approaches him, ready for a fight.

END SCENE

INT. STAR LABS - WORKSHOP

Cecile, Joe, Iris, Allegra, and Chester are all working on building blenders at Star Labs. They are using various tools and machinery to assemble the blenders as quickly as possible.

Iris is explaining her plan as she works.

IRIS (excited) The more blenders we have, the better our chances of trapping Evil Barry. The vortex created by the blender should be strong enough to hold him.

CHESTER (jokingly) Yeah, and the more blenders we have, the more it'll be like the cast of Game of Thrones.

Allegra laughs, but the others just look at Chester confused.

JOE (confused) What does that mean?

CHESTER (shrugging) I don't know, it just seemed like a funny comparison.

CECILE (rolling her eyes) Well, let's focus on the task at hand. The more blenders we have, the better chance we have of stopping Evil Barry.

Iris nods in agreement and they all continue working on building the blenders.

END SCENE

INT. CC JITTERS DOWNS - TRACK

Evil Barry and Good Barry are both standing on the finish line of the motorcycle race, panting heavily from their intense race. Evil Barry is fuming with anger as he has just lost to Good Barry.

EVIL BARRY (angrily) I can't believe I lost to you!

Good Barry tries to calm Evil Barry down.

GOOD BARRY (calmly) Please, just listen to me. I know you're angry, but violence isn't the answer.

EVIL BARRY (skeptically) What could you possibly say to change my mind?

GOOD BARRY (sincerely) I want to tell you about the love I have for Iris. She is the light of my life, my everything. She has given me a reason to fight for what's right and has inspired me to be the best version of myself.

Evil Barry is taken aback by Good Barry's words. He can see the genuine love and affection in Good Barry's eyes as he speaks about Iris.

GOOD BARRY (CONT'D) (continuing) I know you have a heart, deep down. And I believe that if you allow yourself to feel love and compassion, you can change for the better.

Evil Barry is silent for a moment, contemplating Good Barry's words. The tension in the air is palpable as the two stand facing each other.

END SCENE

INT. STAR LABS - LAB

Chester has finally finished building the perfect blender. He proudly holds it up for everyone to see.

CHESTER (excitedly) Ladies and Gentlemen, I present to you, the "Blend-a-Tron 9000"!

Allegra bursts out laughing, enjoying Chester's nerdy joke.

ALLEGRA (laughing) Oh my gosh, Chester! That's hilarious!

Iris, on the other hand, looks fed up with Chester's constant jokes.

IRIS (exasperated) Chester, I'm just happy you finished the blender.

CHESTER (grinning) Well, you know what they say. "A good blender is like a Star Wars prequel. A lot of hype and build-up, but in the end, it still blends!"

Allegra laughs again, but Joe and Cecile just shake their heads and smile.

Iris gets on her electric scooter, ready to head down to CC Jitters Downs.

IRIS (CONT'D) (urgently) Come on, we don't have much time. Let's go stop Evil Barry!

She revs up the scooter and takes off down the hallway, with Joe, Cecile, and Allegra close behind. Chester brings up the rear, still chuckling at his own joke.

END SCENE

INT. CC JITTERS DOWNS - TRACK

Evil Barry is still fuming after losing the motorcycle race. He starts to tell Good Barry the real reason why he came through the Time Vortex.

EVIL BARRY (emotionally) You want to know why I came back here? It's because I lost everything. My wife, my kids, my friends. They were all taken away from me.

Good Barry's expression softens as he listens to Evil Barry's story. He walks over and gives him a fast hug.

GOOD BARRY (sympathetically) I'm so sorry, man. That must have been hard.

EVIL BARRY (tearfully) It was. But now, I'm going to take what I want. I'm going to take everything from you, just like I did from the other Barry.

Good Barry pulls away from the hug, a determined look on his face.

GOOD BARRY (firmly) I won't let that happen. I won't let you hurt anyone else.

Evil Barry and Good Barry stand facing each other, both determined to stop the other. The fate of the timeline hangs in the balance.

END SCENE

INT. CC JITTERS DOWNS - STANDS

Good Thawne and Evil Thawne are sitting in the stands, ignoring the events of the race and enjoying CC Jitters coffee popcorn. They're having a lighthearted conversation, completely unaware of the potential superhero fight happening on the track.

EVIL THAWNE (casually) You know, I've been thinking…

GOOD THAWNE (smiling) Yes?

EVIL THAWNE (gets down on one knee) I think it's time we make things official. Will you marry me?

Good Thawne's eyes widen in surprise, then he breaks out into a smile.

GOOD THAWNE (excited) Yes! Yes, I will!

The crowd around them is too focused on the events on the track to pay attention to their proposal. Good Thawne and Evil Thawne share a passionate kiss, completely unaware of the chaos around them.

END SCENE.

INT. CC JITTERS DOWNS - SURROUNDING AREA

Allegra and Chester are riding their electric scooters down the road, following behind Iris, Joe, and Cecile on their way to the race track. Chester is still making jokes, trying to lighten the mood.

CHESTER (excited) This is like an electric scooter parade! I feel like a kid again!

ALLEGRA (laughing) I love it when you make jokes, Chester. Keep it up!

Iris, Joe, and Cecile are riding ahead, deep in thought. They're aware of the seriousness of the situation and are focused on finding a solution to stop Evil Barry.

As they approach the race track, they see the chaos that has erupted. The crowd is on its feet, shouting and cheering.

IRIS (worried) We need to hurry. Good Barry needs our help.

The group picks up the pace, determined to reach the track and do what they can to stop Evil Barry.

END SCENE.

INT. CC JITTERS DOWNS - DAY

Evil Barry and Good Barry face each other, with their motorcycles in front of them.

EVIL BARRY: (grinning) You’re too late, Barry. The time vortex is mine now!

Good Barry looks horrified as Evil Barry starts to divert the power of the time vortex towards him.

GOOD BARRY: No! No, Barry!

Evil Barry continues to laugh as Good Barry tries to dodge the energy beams from the vortex, but it is quickly closing in on him.

EVIL BARRY: (laughing) You’ll never be able to stop me!

Good Barry looks around desperately for a way out, but he's running out of options. Suddenly, a blender appears from off-screen and slams into Evil Barry, disrupting the vortex.

CHESTER: (excitedly) Ha! I told you the blender was a weapon!

ALLEGRA: (laughing) You were right, Chester! Blenders hitting people in the face!

GOOD BARRY: (relieved) Iris! You did it!

Iris, Joe, Cecile, and Chester run onto the track, out of breath but triumphant.

IRIS: (excited) We did it! The blenders worked!

JOE: (muttering) And Evil Thawne and Good Thawne are getting engaged. No one cares.

Everyone cheers as Good Barry embraces Iris, grateful to be safe once again. The time vortex starts to dissipate, and Evil Barry is knocked out on the ground.

GOOD BARRY: (hugs Iris) Thank you.

Everyone cheers again as the screen fades to black.

INT. CC JITTERS PIZZERIA - DAY

The group is gathered at a large table, loaded down with pizza and drinks. They're all laughing and talking, still buzzing from their victory over Evil Barry.

BARRY: (smiling) I can't believe we did it. I'm so grateful for all of you.

IRIS: (smiling) I wouldn't have been able to stop Evil Barry without your help.

JOE: (smiling) And I wouldn't have been able to help without my trusty blender.

Everyone laughs as Chester takes a big bite of pizza.

CHESTER: (jokingly) You know what they say, pizza is like a blender. It's always a good time.

ALLEGRA: (rolling her eyes) Chester, can you please just shut up about the blenders already?

Chester looks taken aback, but before he can respond, Allegra grabs him and pulls him in for a passionate kiss. Chester moans as the kiss becomes more intense, and everyone at the table starts to look uncomfortable.

CECILE: (awkwardly) Uh, guys…

IRIS: (trying to divert attention) So, what's next for us? Another adventure?

Everyone starts talking at once, trying to ignore the awkward situation with Allegra and Chester. As they all leave the pizzeria, Barry and Iris share a private moment.

BARRY: (smiling) I'm so glad we were able to stop Evil Barry. And I'm even more glad that we were able to do it together.

IRIS: (smiling) Me too. We make a pretty good team.

They smile at each other, and the screen fades to black.

INT. STAR LABS - DAY

The lab is quiet, with all the lights turned off. Suddenly, one of the abandoned blenders turns on, making a loud whirring noise. The camera zooms in on the blender as it starts to shake and smoke.

Suddenly, the blender explodes, revealing another version of Caitlin Snow. This Caitlin has green hair and is wearing green makeup. She looks around the lab, confused.

CAITLIN: (in a sultry voice) Whoa, what happened here? I'm a bit confused.

She looks down at herself and grins.

CAITLIN: (giggling) Oh, I see what happened. I must have come from a different universe.

She strikes a pose and winks at the camera.

CAITLIN: (smiling) You can call me Snow-Green.

She makes a joke about blenders.

CAITLIN: (laughing) Looks like I'm a blender all right, but instead of making smoothies, I make things… interesting.

She pauses and looks off into the distance.

CAITLIN: (softly) Chester would have loved that.

The screen fades to black as the post-credits teaser ends.

Welcome

The CW canceled the 2014 TV series, "The Flash," after nine seasons.

At least, that's what they want you to think.

Using ChatGPT, I've discovered the actual real screenplays for the tenth season of The Flash.

(I have some experience with ChatGPT, as it also is in the process of writing the Pitch Perfect in Space series.)

Join me on this quest back into the Arrowverse as we examine what was really supposed to happen in The Flash Season 10.
