CCPD: Barry and Julian's Lab

Caitlin slowly walked in to find Julian was looking in a mirror, his back to her, him fixing his hair, when he saw her in the mirror. "Ah, hello you," Julian said before he turned to her with a smile.

"Hey," Caitlin said.

"Am I in for another kidnapping?" Julian asked and Caitlin stiffed a laugh.

"Okay, I deserve that. No, um, I just came to check on you. We haven't seen much of you since Christmas," Caitlin said.

"That's very sweet of you. I'm doing well, thank you," Julian said.

"You know, what Savitar did...forcing you to hurt people," Caitlin said.

"Savitar was controlling me, okay? As far as I'm concerned, my conscience is clear," Julian said.

"Really?" Caitlin asked and he looked up at her, to see she was holding a bottle of medicine to help insomnia. "Then why the Zolpidem? Are you having trouble sleeping?"

Julian walked up to her and snatched the bottle from her. "Why don't we stop playing games, Dr. Snow, and you tell me what you actually came for rather than accusing me of having insomnia?" Julian said as he walked to his desk, and Caitlin sighed.

"I actually need your help," she said.

"How can I help you?" Julian asked.

"Well, you're the world's foremost specialist on meta-humans," Caitlin said.

"Yes, this much is true," Julian said, looking through papers.

"And I need you to help me get rid of my powers," Caitlin said and Julian stopped what he was doing, looking up at her. "I've tried everything. I've run every test...blood, DNA...and I can't reverse this. I need to get rid of my powers before..."

"Before what?" Julian asked.

"Before I hurt someone else...the way I hurt you," Caitlin said and Julian stared at her for a while before saying anything.

"I don't cure meta-humans. I put them in prison. You're on your own, I'm afraid," Julian said and Caitlin stared at him as he looked back at his papers. She then stormed off, annoyed with him, and he glanced up at her a slight second, guilt fluttering in him.

Barry & Kara's Apartment

Later, Kara was standing in the middle of the living room, her hands covering her eyes as Barry stood by her. But around them was the apartment completely decorated and unpacked. The living-room, the kitchen, the bedroom, the guest bedroom, the bathroom, even the upstairs was decorated. "Okay," Kara said with a giddy smile. "Can I open my eyes yet please?"

"Um, yeah, but just one second," Barry said as he walked around, trying to find a place to stand. "Okay. Just, um..." He ended up leaning against the couch, awkwardly crossing his arms. "yeah...okay, open 'em."

Kara slowly uncovered her eyes to see the apartment was in fact completely decorated, and just like when she first found out about the apartment, she studied her surroundings, stammering and taken back. "Um...I know you wanted to unpack slowly, like a normal couple, but I don't know...between our jobs and the S.T.A.R. Labs museum and," Barry started as he walked up to her but Kara still wasn't saying anything. "do you hate it?"

"Uh, n-no, no, I don't hate it," Kara said but Barry frowned.

"You do. I just-" Barry started as Kara gave him a look.

"I don't-" Kara started.

"I just wanna give you the home that you deserve. I-" Barry started.
