CAITLIN POV:

Tomorrow is my first day working at AMH, Asylum for Meta-humans. Until yesterday I was working in a laboratory in Memphis, in a unit specializing in the study of meta-humans. I loved what I was doing, but unfortunately my co-workers weren't the best and honestly, when the opportunity to come work in Central City came, I didn't even think twice and said goodbye to the lab.

Who was not at all thrilled with my change of job and city was my mother who was always tould me that leaving the laboratory was a mistake, but I believe it was the best decision I made.... since always! I admit that on the trip between Memphis and Central City I started to wonder if she was really right in what she was saying and that maybe I wanted to think about it more, but as soon as I set foot in the Asylum entrance, I felt I was in right place.

But I still haven't told you what I'm going to do in my new job. Starting tomorrow I will be the doctor of one of the patients at the AMH, that is, I will be following my patient between eight in the morning until ten at night, every day. One of my roles is to ensure that the meta-human assigned to me remains on track in controlling and using their meta-human powers.


Even though I'm just starting my new job tomorrow, the director of this Asylum, a gentleman named Harrison Wells, told me I'd better show up today for him to give me a guided tour. When I got there I showed the email Wells had sent me the night before to the guard and he let me in and told me to wait at the entrance to the building. Unlike other Asylums, this one didn't look scary at all, in fact it looked quite cozy for the space it symbolizes.

- Dr. Caitlin Snow, before we begin our guided tour, I want you to know that we are delighted to have you on our team. Although you don't have enough experience for the position that you will assume in this Asylum, I'm quite confident that you will do it very well and that this experience will be very beneficial for you, both personally and professionally.

- Thank you very much, it is a great pleasure to be part of your team and I want you to know that I will be 100% committed to my duties. I just wanted to ask you if you already know who my patient will be?

- Yes, and by the way, you'll meet him today. Let's get to know the rest of the building first and let's get to know your meta-human.

The first area that Wells showed me was the STAR Labs laboratory, where not also new formulas were produced, but also new weapons and it was in this space that I met Cisco Ramon, a mechanical engineer. Then Wells took me to the common room which was where meta-humans who were considered friendly could interact with each other for a few hours each day. Then he showed me the section reserved for more dangerous meta-humans. Finally he led me to a section that looked more like college dorms and we stopped in front of a door that just had a lightning bolt on the door in yellow.

- And in here, we end the guided tour. Are you ready to meet your meta-human?

- Of course!- I replied smiling.

"Caitlin Snow, I present Barry Allen, your meta-human patient." Wells said, as he opened the door to the meta-human's room.

Looking first at the aesthetics of this room, it doesn't even look like it's an asylum room, as in addition to having huge drawings glued to the walls with double-sided adhesive tape, there are also plenty of books on the shelves next to the bed. On top of the bed is a man who looks about my age, with brown hair and hazel color eyes.

- Barry this is Caitlin Snow, the doctor who will help you. - Wells said and Barry dropped the book he was reading and looked me up and down.

- It's a pleasure to finally meet you Dr. Snow. Dr. Wells spoke very highly of you. - Barry said smiling.
