Anna smirked as she lined up at the finish line next to Wally and Barry.

"This is the starting line to our race. Cisco set up sensors all along the course, and he'll be tracking your speed all the way to the finish line on the other side of town." Barry explained.

"This is it... the day the greatest upset in speedsters history goes down." Wally teased.

"Wally, man, this isn't about winning or losing. Okay? This is about training so you can get faster and beat Savitar and save Iris." Barry said sternly.

"Yeah, which I'm gonna do."

"Okay."

"But first I'm gonna make you eat my dust." Wally chuckled.

"Okay, you know there is a reason they call me the fastest man alive. Cisco, you good?" Barry questioned to Cisco, who was with the team at Star Labs.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the Central City Speedster 500 is about to begin." Cisco said as they all started to place bets. Everyone bet on Barry, but HR bet for Wally and Caitlin bet for Anna.

"Guys, we're ready." Barry motioned to get on the line. Anna bent down, kicking away the dust.

"Gentlemen And lady, start your engines. Ready? Get set. Go." Cisco counted down as they sped off, Barry just ahead with Anna and Wally tied. Speeding throughout the city, Anna kept speeding, keeping a pace that sped up often. They got closer to the finish line, and Barry and Anna phased through the building as Anna barely made it first. Wally sped up and around the building, due to not being able to phase yet.

"That is what I'm talking about!" Anna yelled out in victory.

"Come on, man, that didn't count. You know I can't phase yet." Wally complained.

"Man, you just saw us do it, right? And you have to be ready to face any obstacle that's put in your path." Barry sighed.

"Yeah, well, don't worry, Barry. I'm gonna get faster. Pretty soon I'm gonna be faster than you two." Wally smirked.

"Oh, yeah?" Barry questioned.

"Well right now, I'm the fastest person alive!" Anna teased.

"You wanted to see me Joe?" Anna questioned as she approached a crime scene with Iris and Barry

"Since I have you all, I wanted to ask, um, Cecile's daughter, Joanie, is in town, and I was thinking that maybe we could all get together. If you don't think it's too soon. I mean, I haven't exactly been dating Cecile for that long." Joe stammered.

"It's not too early, Joe." Barry said.

"Yeah? And Jitters... is that cool? Or is that too casual?" Joe stammered again.

"Dad, don't worry, okay? It's great. Joanie's gonna love you." Iris added.

"I love my kids. I'm gonna set it up. Thank you. All right."

"It's nice to see him so happy." Barry smiled as Joe walked away.

"It's nice to see you two happy too. I'm gonna head back to Star Labs." Anna said before walking off into an alley and speeding away.



"You think this is what it's like to be a character on "CSI"?" Cisco questioned as Barry, Anna, HR, and Wally stood outside the medical room as Caitlin and Julian studied the body that had been found at a restaurant.

"What do they hope to gain from that examination?" HR questioned.

"They're trying to find the exact cause of death. Once we know that, we'll have a better idea of what we're dealing with. But until then, we need to train." Barry turned to Wally. "I'm gonna teach you everything I know, starting with phasing."
