Short on Time

Chapter 77

"Life sucks, then you die!" I announced to the team as I came in.

"Nice quote," Harry said.

"You try getting twins to sleep," I told him.

"I raised you and Jesse, so hush!" Harry said annoyed.

"No, you raised crazy killer me. I'm trying to raise to meta-human twins," I replied.

Harry gave me a look, "both my daughters ended up being meta-humans."

"Not from birth," I told him as Barry walked in.

"Goodmorning," Barry said kissing me and I gave him a look. "Ouch. All-nighter, huh?"

"I haven't been this tired since Killer Frost decided to go to Burning Man," Caitlin said.

"Yeah? Well, how is our search for the mysterious DeVoe coming?" Barry asked.

"Allen, we're searching for an evil mastermind. The only clue we have to go on is his name, of which there's literally thousands, so how's the search going? It's fantastic," Harry said throwing something at Barry.

"I missed that," Cisco said happily.

"If we're gonna find DeVoe, we need more brain power," Harry said.

"Well, why didn't you say so? One master detective, ready to detect," Dibney said.

"I said more brain power," Harry said.

"Initiating emergency oxygen purge. In ten, nine, eight, seven. six, five, four," the computer said when Dibney tried to 'help'.

"One more second," Dibney said.

"Ginger," Barry said.

I rolled my eyes as I walked over to the computer and aborted it, "don't touch my computers."

"Yours?" Dibney asked.

"Her father did own this company, she inherited it," Caitlin said.

"Like I said, we need more help., Maybe I should call my friends," Harry said.

"Your what?" Cisco asked.

"My friends," Harry said and I gave him a look.

"Is he saying friends?" Barry asked.

"I think he's being sarcastic," Caitlin said.

"No, no, no. This is delirium. He's cracked from being awake all night," Cisco said.

"Rude," I told Cisco.

"Hey, Harry, all of your friends are in this room," Cisco said giving me the stink eye.

"I have other friends. You asked me to make new friends. I made new friends It was a task. I complete tasks," Harry said.

"That's so great," Barry said.

"I can't wait to meet them," Caitlin said.

"Harry, you listened to me. I'm so proud of you," Cisco said.

"Okay, there's no pride Put that down. Look, my friends are smart. They'll help us. I'll call them," Harry said walking out.

"All right, well, um, in the meantime, we gotta find the rest of these bus metas. Somehow they're connected to DeVoe's plan," Barry said.

"You were on the bus. Can you remember anybody else who was?" I asked.

"Well, I was in between drunk and hungover at the time," Dibney said.

"Not helpful," I deadpanned.

"I'm getting the same traces of dark matter from this that I was from the tiger statue," Caitlin said.
