The Flash

Uhh!

- Please. Please don't.

Don't do this!

- The Indian Ocean? - Yeah.

There's this great island there.

Super secluded, and it's been pretty quiet here recently,

so I'm zooping Iris away for a little vacation.

Actually, it was Chester's idea. You remember?

Can't forget.

Hey, Chester!

Iris. Wait.

If you're down here and he's down here, then--

- No! - No...

Oh, my!

As much as I'd like to.

- The cellphone reception's, uh...nonexistent,

so we're gonna be off the grid for a while.

This'll be nice, just to focus on each other

while we're trying to...um...

I mean Iris and I, we're trying to--

- Trying to reconnect. - Reconnect, yeah.

- Right? Yeah. I mean, you know, 'cause

lately, if one of you isn't stuck in the mirror-verse...

- The mirror-verse. - Then the other's stuck

in some psycho masked hellscape.

- Yeah. - Right?

- Okay cool. - Okay.

- Have fun. - Thanks.

Yeah.

- So, Frost, with boss man

and boss lady away, need us to do anything?

- Nope. No baddies means we can take the day.

I think we all need some R&R. - Ooh...

to start off this R&R, why don't you guys join me

in a little bit of D&D? Frost, if you're free,

I could use a Chaotic Good Ice Sorcerer

to help me slay the Bog Beast of Balladok.

- I'm gonna have to take a pass.

I've got a personal errand to run.

- Need any help? - Nope.

I'm going...

shopping.

Have fun storming the castle.

What say thee, fair maiden?

Care to join me in an epic quest?

Oh, sorry.

I got a hot news tip.

Gotta follow up, but I'll catch up with you later.

Yeah, yeah, nice, nice, nice.

News never sleeps.

News never sleeps.

I was off base, on R&R,

eating at a cafe,

and I saw Major Kramer

in another booth arguing with this guy.

- About... - I don't know.

But I heard him say, "Stick to the plan,

and it'll all be over tomorrow."

Didn't sound like it was anything good.

- Now, that was a soldier who served at Fort Dakota

at the same time that Kramer was stationed there.

- Did they recognize the person that Kramer's arguing with?

A soldier named Adam Creyke.

This is the same man who led her troops

into an ambush six years ago that got them killed.

Now, Kramer never logged going off base

the night of this conversation.

Which means this was a secret meeting.

- Hold on. Are you telling me

that Kramer knew about the ambush,

and maybe she even helped plan it?

I don't know.

They never caught the bomber, and this evidence looks bad,

but my gut says that something still doesn't add up.

I mean look, Cecile, I've looked Kramer in the eye.

I've watched her work. We've had our differences,

but...I still feel that she's a good cop.

- Joe, she's not just a cop anymore.

She's the head of the CCPD now.

- Well, I might not have a badge anymore,

but I'm gonna find out the truth about Kristen Kramer,

once and for all.

Thanks, man.

Hey. - Hey.

I see you found someone to play your dungeon game thing.

Oh, seriously?

I walked all the way here, and nobody told me,

including Marco, who I literally just talked to.

- Well, maybe if you let me rejoin the campaign,

I'd have your back,

like I did in the Battle of Mo'Zog.

- Okay. Using fire spells in unarmed combat

is strictly prohibited, Marco!

You're not a new--he knows the consequences.

Anyway, I got your text. What's up?

- So you know that message I got earlier?

- Mm-hmm. - I've been using

the citizen tip line, but not for work.

I just got an anonymous tip

that's gonna help me find my cousin.

As in Ultraviolet?

As in the Black Hole meta assassin

that tries to kill you every time she sees you?

- Her name's Esperanza, and I get how it sounds.

Look, she's been taking out targets.

First, here in Metropolis, then in Opal City.

I think her next assassination is in Central City.

Chuck, if Team Flash can get a jump on this--

- Flash isn't around. - Exactly. What would Barry do?

He'd find her and get her to stand down.

I have to do the same.

Esperanza blames me for abandoning her.

I have to make that right,

'Cause if I can get through to her,

maybe we can be a family again.

[electric sizzling, crackling]

- Listen to me. I don't want to fight.

Wait--

- Stop! I won't let you hurt my friends.

Fine.

- Figures you're a part of this.

- Well, I can't expect you to fail on your missions

all on your own,

except for that one time, in Belize.

That was hilarious.

Are you freaking nuts?

I have seen Ultraviolet melt

the face off of someone and laugh while doing it.

What made you think going after her alone was a good idea?

- Chuck and I were gonna bring in the team,

but Esperanza surprised us. - Side note.

Prayer hands emoji for the save,

but how'd you know we were in trouble?

- It's one of the reasons I stuck around.

I heard chatter about an ex-Black Hole assassin nearby.

Good thing I went hunting.

Speaking of, where are the big guns?

Frost is radio silent,

and Barry and Iris are off the grid.

So for the rest of today,

this is Team Flash.

- Well, that's reassuring. I don't suppose you've learned

how to melt someone's face off with your powers yet?

No. Okay. Great.

Well, it's a good thing just his wrist got hurt,

because we don't have nearly enough muscle

to handle this mission.

- But I can still save Esperanza.

- You want to save her? - Yeah.

You know, like Barry does with the bad guys.

I mean, not so much save her, but redeem her, I guess.

- Listen, I don't think we can take on Ultraviolet

by ourselves, let alone change her overnight.

- Uh, I don't think we have a choice.

Look, Allegra said that Ultraviolet is here

to kill somebody.

That means there's a life in danger.

Isn't saving people Team Flash 101?

- Chester's right. We need to stop her.

Fine, but family or not,

she will try to kill you if she gets the chance.

- That's every location Ultraviolet's been spotted in

in the last 48 hours.

But so far, no luck on her current location.

What about the satellites?

- Well, her energy signature's based off of light which is,

like, everywhere, at all times, so it's almost impossible

to hone in on her specific light signature.

This is where she's going.

It's a typical Black Hole recon pattern.

Scope out the surrounding areas

while closing in on your target.

This is a downtown free clinic.

Why go there to try to kill someone?

- I don't know, but the bigger question is how do we stop her?

- With this. It's a photonic stun grenade.

Procuring it required two trips to New Delhi,

a helicopter crash, and a very deadly quinceanera.

I'm gonna go make sure this is fully charged.

I'll be back in ten. We'll discuss the plan.

Be ready to go.

Ha ha, yeah!

Time to put my badass face on, right?

Yeah?

No? - Chuck, maybe you better

sit this one out. - Whoa, I-I want to help.

- I know, but you're a pacifist.

And that's cool, but this is gonna be too dangerous.

We'll be back before you know it, okay?

Ah--

Stay away from me!

Not until you're dead.

Run.

- Tell whoever hired you the assassination is canceled.

You fools. I wasn't hired.
