CHAPTER THIRTY-EIGHT can't catch a break
⊱ ──────── {.⋅ ✯ ⋅.} ──────── ⊰
SCARLET'S GOT IT was the new motto around S.T.A.R. Labs — for obvious reasons.
Juliet had taken the reigns on all of the crimes in the city, going on missions solo. Now, back when Barry had his speed, it wasn't exactly rare to see one without the other. They would team up and split ways to control more crime. But it was more often than not that the two of them would show up to the same thing, and Juliet could feel the city getting . . . suspicious, as to why the Flash wasn't with her.

"Nice try," Juliet commented. She then glanced up to see the police cars skid to a stop, the police officers immediately getting out and pointing their guns at the car. "Good luck with that."
And with that, she teleported away.
Juliet appeared in the cortex of S.T.A.R. Labs, taking her mask off. "Too easy."
Iris raised her hand for a high-five, which Juliet instantly obliged. "Nice one, Jules."
Cisco then pointed at Barry, who was sitting in one of the rolling chairs. "You know, if they can get Tupac rapping again at a concert, we could get the Flash running around Central City." His eyes widened with inspiration. "Like a Flash video game. Oh, hold on—"
