MacKenzie's POV

"Okay we've got eyes on Cape Canaveral, Space X, and the Xichang Space Center." Iris says over the comms

"And Blackhawk Island." Barry says, speeding in, his flash suit now on the stand and him in casual clothes. "That's every launch pad south of the 39th parallel."

"Good man." Cisco says

"Okay, are we sure that DeVoe is gonna launch the machine from an airfield?" Iris asks

"If he's shooting five satellites into synchronous orbit, that's the latitude he needs." Cisco Says. "And whether or not he's still moping around about his wife ditching him, he's gonna resurface. And he's gonna do it soon. When he does, I whoosh. You whoosh. She bangs." He hands Barry the object

"If I can get there in time." Barry says. "I mean, I'm still not fast enough to make it to DeVoe's pocket dimension."

"That's why we split up." Cisco says. "Each one of us stakes out a different launch pad."

"You're serious?" Barry asks him. "I mean you've seen DeVoe in action."

"Yeah, the guy's a one man Legion of Doom." Cisco says. "So send the Super Friends."

"Okay, but we're not at full super strength right now." Barry says. "I mean Joe's got the baby on the way and Caitlin's looking for Killer Frost. Harry's--"

Harry misses a step and falls into a chair, sliding into the cortex

"This chair came out of nowhere." Harry says. "So hey, Allen. West-Allen." He looks to Cisco."

"Cisco." Cisco tells him

"Ramon." Harry says.

"Cisco Ramon." Cisco says. "And..." He says, pointing to me

"Uh...little Allen?" Harry tries

"Ray." I tell him

"Guys." Harry says, giving up on the names. "Check this out. Okay? Somebody has been blogging about the Thinker. About DeVoe and the bus metas, all of it, okay. And if we find this blogger, we can stop the Thinker."

"Hey, buddy." Iris tries. "Hey, buddy. That's... that's my blog."

"Look at the byline." Harry says. "It's not written by Iris West-Allen, okay? It's written by Anonymous Central City Citizen. Mic drop."

"Hold on to that mic." Iris tells him

"It's imaginary." Harry says

"I asked you to proofread this for me, remember?" Iris tells him

"You asked me to proofread this when?" Harry asks. "This morning. That's when. When you said, 'Harry will you proofread, - will you proofread'."

Harry backs up and bumps into the chair again

"Let's start by finding him a room with less chairs." Cisco says

"Okay. Good." Harry says and then he bumps into the chair again

"You have 400,000 new views." Barry says, looking at Iris' blog. "That's amazing."

"I know, right?" Iris says. "I mean, people have been writing in from all over sharing their theories and reporting DeVoe sightings."

"And Marlize sightings?" Barry asks

"Yeah. I've been trying to track her down for days." Iris says. "I know Harry thinks that they split up, but she's still just as dangerous as DeVoe."
