Cisco proudly holds up the target of himself. "It's important to have hobbies," he declares, a grin spreading across his face as he admires his handiwork.
"This is ridiculous," Linda says, her voice tinged with uncertainty as she tightens her gloves, dressed in her black and white villain costume.
She walks into the bunker, accompanied by Caitlin
"No, it's not. You look just like Doctor Light." Barry tells her as he's in his costume and changes up his voice so that Linda doesn't recognize him.
(He remembered Rae's scolding about disguising his identity, he hoped that it would give him some brownie points after their disagreement.
Spoiler : it didn't)
CREAKKKK
Barry's head jerks in the direction of the creaking sound, and he spots Rae sitting on a rolling chair, seemingly bored as she sucks on a lollipop and works on some budgeting.
"Oh, I'm sorry, is this bothering you?" Rae says with a snarky smirk, glancing innocently at the chair beneath her.
"The chair, or you in it?" he retorts, his irritation evident in his tone.
"Sorry, haven't had my breakfast,"
"I brought you your favorite?" Barry tries to butter her up, hoping to smooth things over. A complete switch in attitude.
Rae looks confused and tilts her head in disbelief.
"Breakfast bagel with pickled eggs?" Barry says, annoyance creeping into his voice as he's certain he got it for her.
"No, you didn't—"
"Say ah—" Harry interrupts suddenly, appearing out of nowhere.
"What the—" Rae begins to protest, but her words are muffled as Harry shoves a sandwich into her mouth, catching her off guard.
Rae chews a big bite of the sandwich, glaring at Harry as she snatches it away from him.
(It seems that the team has realized Rae doesn't eat properly, so they took it upon themselves to fix that—mostly Harry and Barry, in their own ways.
Due to Harry's subconscious paternal instinct and Barry's desire to stay on her good side.)
Linda watches, puzzled, as Rae and the Flash interact so closely. Barry, preoccupied with their relationship, doesn't realize the risk to his secret identity. Linda wonders just how close they are.
