Synopsis for "Double Juggle"
Wallace West and Avery Ho are hanging out at S.T.A.R. Labs in Central City, when an alarm goes off. They run through the building looking for the source and find that all the scientists working at S.T.A.R. have disappeared, not just from the building they are in, but all S.T.A.R. facilities around the world. They check the security monitors and see Wally West battling the Askari and the Uncoiled, and realise the two events are likely linked. In a situation like this they are supposed to call a senior Flash for help, but Wallace convinces Avery that this is their opportunity to step up and prove they are ready to handle things themselves. They sense a disturbance in the Speed Force and decide to follow it to its source, reasoning that it is likely related to what is going on.
Avery and Wallace follow the trail of energy out of the city and discover it is emanating from Mas y Menos, who run past them without heeding them. They chase after the brothers, who turn and attack them. During the fight, they somehow enter the twins' minds via the Speed Force and realise they are being controlled. They almost break the twins free of whoever is controlling them, but the bad guy reasserts control and Mas y Menos break away from them and disappear through a portal. They return to S.T.A.R. to discover Mister Terrific and his new assistant Cadence on the case of the disappeared scientists.
Mas y Menos are revealed to have been brainwashed by the Music Meister, who has created his own criminal organisation Symphonee, using mp3 players to keep his henchmen constantly listening to his music.
