Okay, that meme is just hilarious! The Flash on coffee, we're all DOOMED! (for those of you who can't see it)

Captain America Civil War comes out tomorrow! *squeals* I'm so excited to see it at some point! Literally the only commercial I get on YouTube.

   I slipped my newly painted T-shirt on and grinned. "Ta-da!"

   "That didn't take long," Cisco commented, not looking away from his computer.

   "Of course not. Super speed, remember? What time is it?"

   Cisco glanced at the lower right corner of his screen. "Noon."

   "No wonder! I'm going to Jitters."

   "Knock your socks off."

   I grinned and ran out the door. I was so caught up in running that I almost ran straight passed my destination. I was saved from doing so by tripping on the curb and sliding three feet on the concrete.

   "Smooth move Skye."

   I looked up to see Barry just coming out of the door. I grinned. "Thanks. I try."

   Barry smiled back. "You're welcome. See you at S.T.A.R. tonight."

   I got up. "Have fun playing computer games!"

   "I would never play computer games to pass the time."

   "Tell me why I don't believe you."

   Barry laughed and started down the street. "Tell yourself. I'm late."

   I rolled my eyes. "That makes two of us," I muttered. I was pretty sure I was late for something, but didn't know what.

   I stepped into the cozy cafe to find that it was surprisingly empty. There were only a handful of people sitting at the tables, most of whom appeared to be working on computers. I walked up to the counter and leaned against it casually.

   I didn't need to wait long before I saw Iris. "Hello!" I called, waving her over.

   "Let me guess," she said with a smile, walking up behind the cash register. "A giant sandwich and the biggest donut of the bunch?"

   I feigned surprise. "How did you know?"

   Iris laughed. "I'm psychic."

   "Ah yes. That explains everything."

   Iris handed me the sandwich, which she had clearly made beforehand, along with the usual gigantic donut. "Nice shirt."

   I sat down in one of the high chairs. "I made it myself. Caitlin gave me the idea by saying I needed a shirt that said 'Sarcasm Alert' on the front, so..." I gestured to my shirt with one hand and started eating my sandwich with the other. "Voila."

   My earpiece crackled a little bit. "Skye. Why didn't you tell me you knew Captain America, The Winter Soldier and Black Widow?!" Cisco's slightly furious, but also amused, voice said.

   "One moment Iris. Cisco wants something from me." I got up and walked several steps away. "You're just now figuring this out?"

   "Why didn't you say anything though?!"

   "You're a smart guy. I knew you'd figure it out eventually."

   I heard Cisco sigh. "That doesn't mean you couldn't tell me who they were."

   "Oh but it does. Did you want anything else from me?"

   "Nope. That's all. I'm done being annoyed with you now."
