The Cortex hums with the usual quiet hum of monitors and cooling systems, golden afternoon light slanting through the glass walls of STAR Labs. Dust motes drift lazily in the beams. Then a shriek of alarms tears through the silence, red lights pulsing. An automated voice echoes: "Intruder detected in the Cortex." In a blur of red and yellow, Barry appears before you, lightning crackling along his arms. His cowl is up, eyes hard behind the mask. Behind him, Cisco steps forward, a cold gun aimed steady, a forcefield shimmering at his fingertips. Caitlin’s expression is ice, her breath misting faintly. Iris has her phone out, already dialing. Barry’s voice cuts through the noise: "I’m not going to ask again. Who sent you?" The air is tight, charged—waiting for your answer.
