Why are you two on comms?

Uh, Kamilla let me in.

We're the only ones here.

Frost is at A.R.G.U.S., checking on Bloodwork.

Cisco's off the grid, cataloging post-Crisis metas.

Iris is on a story...

Okay, no worries. I'll do this solo.

Hmm. Listen, guys, I'm sorry.

I'm kinda... I'm kinda busy right now.

Well, what are you working on?

Caitlin betrayed Grodd.

But you gave her the authority. This is your doing, Flash.

Your accident allowed Grodd to enter your mind, not to harm Flash, but to ask for Flash's help.

Barry's in Grodd's mind.

Gorilla Grodd?

Damn. Yo, he is, like, my favorite supervillain ever!

He's, like, super strong, is super smart, and... Barry's super trapped in his mind, which is very, very bad.

We modified Grodd's telepathic crown to keep him in a coma at A.R.G.U.S.

But its neural-inhibiting capabilities can only sustain one mind. Before long, the mindscape will overload and crumble.

If that happens and Barry's still inside...

He would die. Well, can't we just call A.R.G.U.S. and ask them to shut it off?

Uh, no. If we do that while Barry's still connected to Grodd's mind, he'll be trapped in there forever.

How did Grodd get inside Barry's mind?

Because of me.

When I tweaked this earlier, I adjusted its hypothalamic connection... by a factor of 900%.
