Delilah sat in the waiting room, well, waiting. She had called Iris informing her that the little night out would have to be postponed. She called Caitlin, who most likely called Barry and Cisco.

She was in the middle of texting Valdez when Iris, Barry, Caitlin, and Cisco came running in. She sighed and stood up from her chair, meeting the four people halfway.

"What happened?"

"Where is she?"

"What did the doctors say?"

"Can we see her?"

Questions came flying at Delilah, causing her to snap.

"Can all you shut your traps and let me explain everything?"

Immediately they all closed their mouths and Delilah sighed.

"During that shoot out down Main St. A stray bullet hit Gen when we tried to take cover. Luckily it hit her shoulder, nothing major."

She watched their shoulders relax in relief. She took a seat and continued to text Valdez.

Caitlin walked over and took a seat next to Delilah. "Are you okay?"

She glanced up at Caitlin and nodded, "Healthy as a horse." She muttered.

Caitlin nodded, "Thanks for bringing her here."

Delilah chuckled, "Well I sure wasn't going to leave her to die on the sidewalk. She is friend."

Caitlin nodded again and left her seat.

Barry was talking with Cisco while Iris was on the phone with her dad. Caitlin walked over to the duo, "So I guess all we do is wait."

She glanced at Barry and saw the concerned and guilty expression etched on his face.

"Don't you dare blame yourself Barry." She said.

"I thought I caught all the stray bullets. How could I miss that one? She could be perfectly fine if it wasn't for me. What's the use of having these powers if I can't even protect the ones I love? " He ran a hand through his hair out of frustration.

Cisco patted his shoulder, "Dude, Gen is a tough chick. I'm sure she's alright. She's probably sitting in a room eating that gross hospital food watching TV."

Barry looked from Caitlin to Cisco and sighed.

"How about we go sit down and wait." Caitlin suggested.

The guys nodded and they walked over to where Delilah was sitting.
