Summary: Trouble find their way into STAR labs and as a result hidden secret is reveald.
Caitlin was trying very hard to find a way to evade Barry's line of questioning. She was still too afraid to talk about it and the reaction Barry might have.
'Come on, Caity, you know handsome won't reject you,' a voice from the back of her mind spoke, which still startled her. The voice was something new that began only a couple of days ago, and she was still not even close to getting used to it. So far, she handled it by ignoring the voice.
She began opening her mouth, not sure what she was going to say, when alarms began blaring all around them. This usually wouldn't cause any unusual level of worry, but that wasn't the usual meta-alarm; it was something new.
A moment later, Harry ran into the cortex, and Jessie was quick to stand next to him.
Barry looked at Harry, worried, and asked, "Harry, do you have any idea what's with the alarm?"
Harry gave Barry his usual indifferent look, but Caitlin noticed worry in his eyes, although even his voice was flat as he answered, "Ramon and I installed the intruder alarm at the beginning of the year."
Jessie, due to the shock, had a hard time processing what was going on and asked in a low voice, "Intruder?"
Barry reacted before anyone could speak. In a flash of lightning, he was in his hero suit and ordered, "I'll look around. Lock the door from inside."
With that, Barry ran away, leaving a gust of strong wind behind him, which caused Caitlin's hair to fly all around her face. For a moment, she allowed herself to think, 'Maybe I should cut my hair if I'm dating him.'
She felt the floor shaking for a moment. Caitlin wondered what it was until something else distracted her and returned her mind to the rogue thought that had just passed.
An amused and unwelcome voice answered her, 'Don't fool yourself, Caity. Neither you nor Handsome will want you to cut your hair.'
Caitlin began grumbling to herself about smart-ass voices in her head while Harry moved to follow Barry's order and lock down the cortex's doors.
The moment the doors closed shut, Harry began inserting the code that would keep them locked from inside until someone inside the cortex entered the counter code, which was different from the first one. Another security addition from Cisco and Harry that was added after Zoom's visit to the labs.
But just before he could finish, a giant explosion sent pieces of the door flying everywhere.
Caitlin felt her mind going numb with the shock of the attack, but suddenly she could feel something tugging from the back of her mind like an instinct, and she quickly ducked. A moment later, a rather large chunk of the door flew right where her head would have been.
A loud and mad laugh filled the room once the ringing in everyone's ears stopped. When all the dust settled and her vision was clear, Caitlin could see a man with messy blond hair, menacing eyes that almost seemed red in the current light, and a feral smile on his face.
Caitlin looked around the room only to see Harry lying on the floor with Jessie kneeling over him, probably making sure the explosion didn't cause serious damage. After all, Harry was the closest one to the blast.
Caitlin noticed Harry's eyes were closed, but his chest was breathing steadily, and no blood was coming from anywhere vital, which meant in all probability, he was just unconscious.
Jessie most likely reached the same conclusion a moment later because Caitlin noticed her body relaxing.
It was at that moment a voice growled, "You're the one who was with the Flash. The little brat who thought she had a chance against me."
