S.T.A.R. Labs quarantine
In 1990, she noticed the security guard Bernhardt sleeping at work and woke him up and reminded him what he must do to keep his job. She went to Tina McGee's office asking to finish her work before dawn and met Barry Allen. Later, the lab was put on lockdown because of a chemical release and as a result, she and Tina were stuck inside S.T.A.R. Labs. Some time later, when Tina manage to contact Barry Allen on a monitor, but she warned Tina to not tell him anything confidential which she disagreed. Later, when Tina found out about her involvement in Project Pandora, she defended herself as being only business, and she then told Barry on the monitor the location of Dr. Emil Velinski. Later again, Barry informed them of the sudden murder of Dr. Velinsky and Tina informed Barry that they had only 4 hours to live according to the computer. Some time later, they went to check on the deceased security guard to analyze the toxin in his corpse. Ruth then told Tina that she don't feel so good, and she almost passed out. Later, she started losing the control of his nerve system and started to lose her mind, but she still managed to figure out that heat would be the solution to identify the invisible man that started the leak. Later, she was saved by the Flash and when F.B.I. agent Quinn was put on suspension for misconduct, Ruth warned him that she would testify against him and tell the press all of his involvement in Project Pandora.
