CCPD: Barry's Lab
Barry walked up to Julian who was working on something with deep concentration. "Hey, um, I need your help," he said.
"It's the four words I seem to hear you most often say, Barry. That and, I hate that guy. Which, the feeling's mutual, so..." Julian said.
"Mm-hmm. Okay, um, this is gonna be hard for you, but I just, for a second, need you to imagine that we're actually friends," Barry said.
"Can't do it," Julian said.
"Friendly," Barry said.
"Equally as challenging, Barry. But I'll give it a whirl. What are you after?" Julian asked before he looked up at Barry.
"I need to read your report on one of the husks," Barry said.
"Which one?" Julian asked.
"The one from this morning. Edward Clariss," Barry said.
"Edward Clariss?" Julian asked.
"Yeah."
"Why?"
"May help me figure out a case I'm working on," Barry said and Julian picked up the case and read it.
"Well, the nutshell is, uh, the hyaluronic acids were found to be above normal. Uh, androgen degradation atypically low. Cellular regeneration seemed to occur at a staggering rate. It's quite a bit different from the previous husks that we found. That's about it," Julian explained.
"Could I...could I maybe just take a peek at it? I'm sorry, it's just something I need to see to know what I'm looking for," Barry said and Julian scoffed.
"Sure," he said before he gave the file to Barry and he read it.
"Great, thank you. Wait, why does this say the body's place of discovery was Williamson when it was found on the waterfront in Leawood?" Barry asked.
"The body ended up in Leawood. There was a strong current this morning, so chances are that it originated from Williamson. Somewhere near the old Prescott sawmill. You done?" Julian asked.
"Yeah, uh, yes. Thank you," Barry said as he gave the file back to Julian then he walked out.
STAR Labs
CortexKara sat at the computers in silence as everyone argued with her and Iris. "So? He changed our lives, Iris. And he kept that secret from us. You really just want us to just be okay with that? I mean, he erased an entire life you had with this, Mon-El character," Wally said.
"All I'm saying, Wally, is that he made a mistake," Iris said.
"Yeah, he did," Cisco said.
"Cisco, we all make mistakes to protect the people that we love. I mean, you told Captain Cold that Barry was The Flash and I was Supergirl in order to protect your brother," Kara said.
"Okay. Not my finest moment," Cisco said.
"That's our point. It was one decision made in one moment. One very heart-wrenching moment," Kara said.
"Look, guys, we're like a family here, okay? And sometimes families get mad at each other for screwing up," Iris said before she glanced at Joe, who was already looking at her.
"I know that all too well. But they also forgive. Because after a while, it just seems silly when you stop and think about it." Joe smiled before he held his arms open and Iris run into his hug. Kara smiled at the two as she stood up.
