Believe in the Impossible ϟ The Flash

Chapter 13: Now You See Me

"Good job tonight, Bar," I said as I wheeled my chair right into the wall with a crash.

"Hey, watch where you're going Speed Racer," Barry laughed, gently pushing my chair away. "And thanks."

"Yeah, that was insane," Cisco said as he wiped down Barry's dirty suit. "I mean, even I'm having a hard time getting mad at you for dirtying up my suit."

"Okay, when are we going to start considering it my suit?" Barry asked.

"I'd be comfortable calling it our suit," Cisco answered. I laughed.

"So you two are going to share custody?"

Caitlin spoke up as she walked over to the computers, getting ready to leave, "Tonight was the fastest you've ever run."

"Yes, your training is paying off," said Wells, who was next to Caitlin. "That couple is alive tonight because of you."

"I can still get faster. I know I can," Barry told Wells as he went over to the glass partition on the desk. I got up from my chair and went to put it away. Wells told Barry that he would get faster.

"But for today, I'd say you've fulfilled your save quota. Proper rest is what you need, as do we all."

"Better yet," Cisco stopped cleaning the suit. "What we all need is a proper drink. Who's up for a round?" I raised my hand. Caitlin had finally given me the okay on getting back out starting tomorrow and getting back to normal. What better way to celebrate than a night out.

"Oh, dude," Barry said. "It's...it's movie night with Joe. I can't. But I'll see you guys tomorrow, all right? Bye." We all told Barry goodbye, then Cisco and I eyed Caitlin.

"What about you, Cait?" I asked. Caitlin told us she was going to pass. Cisco asked her if she was okay.

Caitlin went back to the desk and picked up her tablet, "I found this on the crash cart Rose was using with your login, Cisco." She held up her tablet to show the FIRESTORM article. Cisco had told me what Hartley had said to him the day after we caught him. How Hartley knew what happened to Ronnie.

Cisco back-tracked, "I know you said we should stop looking for Ronnie, so I...didn't stop looking for Ronnie." Caitlin asked him why.

"Hartley. He said he knew what happened to Ronnie."

"Oh, Hartley Rathaway, who is currently locked up in our super-villain basement jail for going psycho with sound waves?"

I nodded, "The dude has made poor choices. But I looked into what Hartley told Cisco and-"

"Rose, Cisco," Caitlin said softly. "Ronnie's gone, and it's time for me to move on with my life."

"Really?" I asked gently, crossing my arms, "I'm no expert on love. I mean, I have been in a ton of relationships and something that special would be difficult to move on from. But to do that, you actually need to try and move on. Come on, Cisco, I got the perfect place." Cisco set his dirty rag down and followed me out of the cortex.

I took Cisco to one of my favorite clubs in Central City, Elysium. Bright strobe lights as well as thumping music made the walls vibrate. Probably not good for the girl who just got released from her doctor for problems caused by sound vibrations. But the place had great music, great drinks, and gorgeous people.

"I don't understand," Cisco slurred a bit as we threw back our fifth shot. "Why won't those two go out and have a good time? Not together, like together together, but-" I placed my hand on his shoulder and looked into his eyes, stopping him.
