Half way to Jitters Katrina stops, Barry stops right behind her. "I might want to change into something else. Iris might wonder why I am in this" Katrina tells him.

"Yeah, that is not going to help us stop her from questioning things" Barry says and the two of them take off to her apartment. They arrive and Barry waits in her living room as she runs through her room changing into a nice outfit.

Once she was done she came back out the living room, "ready" she tells Barry.

"Let's try and convince Iris to stop blogging about us" Barry says to her as they leave her apartment and once again head to Jitters. Once there they spotted Iris and asked if they could talk to her. She tells another waitress she would be right back and they walk away.

"Iris, you gotta stop your writing about these two people who you think are saving citizens. They don't even exist" Katrina says to her.

"I saw them, Kat. One of them I am assuming is a guy wears a red suit and the other one is more of a girlish figure that wears a dark blue suit, they're like a uniform or something. With a lightning bolt on their chest" Iris says to them excitedly.

Barry lets out a light chuckle. "Iris come on. You were drinking last night at the bar." He says to her.
"I was not drunk, and I know what I saw. They wear a mask, and I think they smiled at me" she smiles at them.
"Okay, first of all Iris, if they were wearing masks that means they don't want people to know who they are, trust me I know about these things, cause I have lived in two cities that had vigilantes who wear masks for a reason" Katrina tells her speaking obviously from experience.

"It doesn't matter who they are. What matters is that people know that they are out there" she explains to them. Both Katrina and Barry look at one another, letting out a sigh knowing that nothing they say is going to change Iris's mind.

"What is wrong with you two? This is important to me. Why can't the two of you be more supportive?" she asks them clearly getting upset with them.
"We're just..you haven't put your name on it. I mean, how serious can you be about an anonymous blog?" Barry asks her.

Iris scoffs at him, "You know what, our entire lives, you couldn't scream loud enough that the impossible existed. Now it's actually happening in Central City I have proof of it, and you don't wanna know about it? That doesn't make sense Barry. SO when you're ready to tell me what this routine is really about then we can talk" Iris says to him as she then walks away.

"Well, that didn't go to well" Katrina says as Barry just shakes his head, when they hear his phone start to buzz. Katrina leans in close to listen and Barry holds his phone out for both of them to hear the call.
"Yeah" Barry answers.
"We've piggybacked onto Genearl Eiling's survilance. According to what they're saying the lovely Miss Sans Souci was just spotted in Anglewood" they hear Cisco tell them.
"The same neighborhood as Dr. Harold Hadley's office the military surgeon who performed several  procedures on her. That's why she was looking for the folder" Caitlin then tells them.
"You gotta get to her before Eiling does" Cisco then tells them.
"Okay" Barry and Katrina say as Barry hangs up the phone.

The two of them look at one another before they take off, changing into their suits on the way. They race for the Doctors office, arriving to see Bette confronting Dr. Harold. Just as Katrina is about to say something, she sees a green light, and Bette is shot at. They watch as she goes down and the Dr ducks to under his desk.

Katrina goes to Bette, "Are you okay? We can get you out of here, we can help you understand what happened to you. You just have to trust us." She says to her.
"How?" she asks.
"Because the same thing happened to us. Please" Katrina says to her. Bette looks at the two speedsters as they see something come breaking through the window.  Bette nods at the two speedsters and Barry grabs her rushing out of there. Katrina follows right before the flash grenade goes off.
