I woke up in a S.T.A.R. Lab's hospital bed again. "Ugh, I passed out again?"

"You and Barry." Caitlin corrected. "Total metabolic failure brought on by acute hypoglycemia." 

"We're not eating enough? So and I.V. bag and we're good to go?" Barry asked. 

Cisco brought us over to a pile of I.V. bags. "Try 40. Each. Guess you two were hungry." Wells told us comically. 

"We're going to have to fashion you both a new diet based on your metabolic changes."

"I've done a few calculations. You each need to consume an amount to roughly 850 tacos." Cisco told us.

"Unless we're talking cheese and guac." I told him.

"Which is like a whole other set of equations." Cisco finished before running off. 

"For Mexican I recommend Tito's. On Bruckner Avenue? Best burrito in town." Joe said, announcing his presence. By the look on Barry's face I assumed he didn't tell Joe.

"Detective West, what brings you to S.T.A.R. Labs?" Dr. Wells asked him cluelessly. 

"When I couldn't find you at your lab, I started doing a little research." He told Barry. "Turns out there's been reports of a red and a purple streak running around the city." We both looked down at our feet. "Stopping muggers, rescuing people from burning buildings."

"You didn't tell him we were working together?" Dr. Wells asked me and Barry.

"Joe we can explain." Barry told him.

"You already have a job in law enforcement Barry. And Becca, you have a job here. I suggest both of you get back to it."

Caitlin nodded, earning a glare from Joe. "Don't look at me, I'm on your side." Then, my phone rang. It was Iris.

Hey, can you come over now? I need to talk to someone.

Sure. I'm already on my way to the house. Be there soon.

"Guys I need to go. Iris." I held up my phone before speeding away.

"Iris, I'm here!" I shouted across the house.

"Hey!" she said from the living room.

"You said that you want to talk?" I asked her.

"Yeah, yeah." she paused before continuing. "I want to tell my dad about me and Eddy."

"Oh wow." I responded. Doing this would only make Iris and Barry further away from being together and I didn't want to sabotage my brother.

"Oh wow? Do you think it's a bad idea?" Then again, Iris was my best friend.

"No, no I was just shocked. How are you going to tell him? When?"

"I don't know probably after everything settles down." My phone rang. Our newest meta-human had struck again. Barry wanted me to meet him at the crime scene.

"Iris, I have to go. Good luck telling Joe!"

"Yeah, okay." Iris said suspiciously. I closed the door and sped off.
