“	We came here to give you the heads-up, Barry. About what? A metahuman who escaped from A.R.G.U.S. custody. Goes by the name King Shark. King Shark? You mean the half-man/half-shark that tried to kill you months ago. I thought he was dead. That's what A.R.G.U.S. wanted you to believe when they snatched him up; but, believe me, this half shark is very much alive, and his biological imperative is telling him to do one thing. That's kill you, Barry. We're gonna need a bigger Flash.	”
— John Diggle, Barry Allen, Lyla Michaels, and Cisco Ramon[src]
