Synopsis:
While visiting Central City, Ralph Dibny spots the Flash waiting near a vacant lot. Flash explains that the Mirror Master tipped him off to a crime that would occur on the lot. Elongated Man decides to help the Flash, but when he exits his car, Flash is gone and a house has appeared on the lot.

Elongated Man enters the house where he is soon surprised by several traps designed to counteract the speed of the Flash. Ralph escapes the traps with his stretching powers and apprehends one of Mirror Master's henchmen. When he takes the man to police headquarters, the Flash is waiting inside with the Mirror Master in custody. Flash deduced the trap and let Ralph solve the mystery for fun.
