Caitlin took slow steps as she approached the two Latinos.

"Who were you talking to?" Caitlin interrogated the two as she stalked towards them.

"No one." Cisco gave no expression as he answered his friend.

A pointed look was given to the girl right next to Cisco, who was pretending to look through some files that lay on the table.

"Alex?" Caitlin looked over to the girl with a softer look. "Were you talking to Barry?"

At the call of her name, the girl turned around in her spinny chair. Alex had her cheek rested on her knuckles and her pointer finger rested on her temple.

"Barry, who?'

The serious look returned to the bio-engineer's face as she turned two look at both of the people in front of her.

"Barry Allen?" She scoffed. "Struck by lightning? Was in a coma for nine months? Woke up being able to run faster than the speed of sound? Ring a bell?"

Cisco and Alex turned and gave each other a pointed look before shaking their heads in sync.

"Nope, haven't talked to him." Cisco muttered, his mouth still enclosed on the lollipop.

Caitlin turned back to Alex who then responded with; "I just met him a week or two ago. I didn't know the whole story in detail."

The potential of the lie was ruined when Barry's voice blasted through the intercom with a loud yell.

"Cisco, theres fire everywhere!" There was a slight pause. "Cisco, are you still there?"

The three looked over to the intercom speaker. Caitlin raised an eyebrow to the two trouble makers in front of her.

"Oh!" Alex made a fool of herself as she tried to act surprised. "Would you look at that. It's Barry."

The intercom came to life again and the wail of sirens and the whooshing of wind could be heard.

"Everybody's out." A cocky tone filled Barry's words. "What else you got for me, Cisco?"

Alex handed her earpiece to Caitlin.

"Barry, it's Caitlin."

A mutter of words were heard on the speakers before the scarlet speedster spoke up again.

"Hey Caitlin!" His tone changed from cocky to fake enthusiasm in under a second. "How's your day?"

  "Get back to S.T.A.R Labs," Caitlin stressed her next word, quite harshly. "Now."

She then turned to the duo in front of her, who both gave her a synchronized smile. They were sure testing her patience.

"Have all three of you lost your minds?" Caitlin rushed out of one of the Lab's glass modules with her tablet balancing on her hand. "Who do you think you are?"

Cisco was the first to speak up. "Well, I'm the ears, Alex is the eyes, and he's the feet."

Cisco finished off his sentence by pointing at the unmasked speedster.
