"Brett is here!" Kate called out as Julia and Hartley were working on the project in the living room.

"I really don't care." Julia muttered and Kate opened the door to let their plumber friend in.

"Hey Kate. Hey Jules." The guy that was Brett, only judging by the all too familiar, very annoyed look on Julia's face walked into the house.

"Just fix the damn pipe, Brett." Julia spoke with a deadpan tone, as Hartley held out his hand for a tool and Julia's hands were busy taking the old ones back and giving him the new ones.

"What are you building over there?" Brett asked and Julia picked up a wrench and she flung it over the couch in the general direction of their kitchen. "Ow!" He shouted.

"None of your damn business." Julia answered, looking satisfied and Kate handed the wrench back to her. "That is what a good friend does, doesn't ask questions, if at all possible." Kate had a smile on her face, and she went into the kitchen.

Hartley looked over at Julia, who had been given a task to do and was now a robot with laser focus, on the project.

"Hey, what is so bad about him?" He asked and Julia raises her eyebrows at him, then she sighed, putting the tools down.

"We went to the same school. I moved, here, halfway through high school and he moved as well. He isn't the one that I have real problems with not really. His brother stalked me for years and it got him kicked out of our school for it. I moved schools, so did they and it continued. Eventually, his brother got locked up and I can't look at either one of them anymore." Julia admitted quietly and turned back to her project, as she was working on a pair of... well, she didn't know what they were exactly yet, but they were a pair of something at least, for herself.

"I can understand why you didn't tell me." Hartley murmured and Julia was shaking her head a bit.

"I became a therapist, to just be able to help people, Hart. The people, that went through experiences like mine, or even worse." Julia admitted and he sighed, putting down his own tools and Julia accepts the hug with a quiet sigh.

Julia's phone beeped and she raised her eyebrows at it. "Back in a couple of minutes." She said and she scooped it up, as she jogged out of the door. "It really could not have been a time that was worse to call me, Cisco. Hartley is crashing at mine." She said into her phone and a loud bang came from the other end of the line.

"Well, I'm sorry, all right? But you have to come in for more tests. You will never believe what we have in S.T.A.R Labs now working with us."

"The Streak?" Julia guessed and Cisco's yell as he slammed into one of the many doorways, indicated that he hadn't been expecting the answer so quickly. "I made up an algorithm and figured it out. Well, technically, it was not just me. It was me and Kate." Julia lied to Cisco easily to cover up the involvement of Hartley, whose name would only set the easily excitable scientist off into a fit of annoyance and anger, which is definitely not what was wanted.

"I would ask exactly how you were able to know that, Miss Palmer, but you are a certified genius already." Julia sighed at the voice of a certain pariah of Central City, Harrison Wells, who had been the one to have created the particle accelerator originally.

"I'm sorry, Cisco, but we were done with tests and I'm busy with my day job now. Don't call me again about it, I'm done." Julia said and hung up the phone, as she blocked Harrison Wells from her phone, then Cisco's work number, but left Caitlyn's.

Hartley poked his head out of the door before she came back in and he looked concerned suddenly, at her weird look that had taken over her facial expression. "You okay?" He asked and she shrugged. "You need a drink?" He asked and she nodded.

"Definitely." Julia muttered and Hartley laughed, as he took his keys off of the hook and Julia followed him to the car, and he continued laughing.
