I woke up the next morning to Barry yelling at the tv that was going very fast, "Barry?", I asked yawning as I walked down to the living room. I saw that the coffee table was covered in plates that had tons of food, most of it eaten by him but thankfully he saved me some. He smiled over at me, "Hey", he greeted before turning back to the tv and making room for me to sit.

"What are you up so early for?", I asked as I plopped down next to him. He was staring at the tv so intently, "Oh, I'm just catching up on all the tv I missed while I was stuck in the Speed Force. When you've been gone six months, the world is a minefield of spoilers, but Cisco hooked me up with the 1,000 time sped up version of my favorite shows. Oh, Jon Snow died. Oh, he's alive!", he cheered.

I laughed a little, "And I thought you'd need a jumpstart for your loopy Speed Force brain", I joked. He smiled at me, "Nope, brain good. All of me is good", he said and quickly gave me a kiss before his phone rang, "Oh, Joe needs me. Crime scene", he said. I nodded and grabbed a piece of bacon, "Yeah, of course", I said taking a bite as I grabbed the massive wedding plan binder that Iris and Cecile got for me, "I need to get started on wedding planning", I said.

He got up to grab his jacket and looked at me, "Oh, don't worry about it. I'm done with it", he said. I looked at him confused, "You're done?", I asked. He nodded with a smile, "I locked in a caterer, I got you your favorite flowers, I put a deposit on a venue with an amazing view, I got a five-layer red velvet cake...", he listed out leaving me surprised that he did pretty much everything besides pick out my dress. "Wow, I guess you got everything covered", I said with a smile, even though I wished we could've done this together.

He leaned over the arm of the couch to me, "So my gorgeous fiancée can remain stress-free", he said and gave me another quick peck before speeding off to work. As the door closed, I sighed and grabbed another piece of bacon.

We all met up at STAR labs after Barry and Cisco went to the crime scene where an elevator was hacked, killing a man. Cisco plugged the data from the elevator into the computer to analyze it, "The Cortex's quantum algorithm should decrypt this code in no time. That should help us ID our new hacker", he then smiled at Barry, "But while we wait, I got a little welcome back gift for you", he said and started walking over to the spot in the wall where Barry's suit is stored, "Come come, walk with ya boy. Gather round class", he said and removed the sheet from Barry's new suit.

"I mean, that was cool--reveal and everything, but I've seen that suit. I've actually worn it", Barry said. Wally scoffed, "Yeah, we all know you gave Barry's suit a nice little fancy makeover", he said, making me give him a 'Stop Being Jealous' look.

Cisco looked over at him, "Yeah, but you don't know what you don't know. And underneath all this red beautiful, I've built in self repairing armor, nano-liquid circuitry, full-spectrum scanning, and a whole bunch of other big words. Chief among them...", he said as he stood next to Barry and tapped something on his tablet and yellow tinted visors come over the eye holes, "Your very own custom-made HUD. This thing is loaded with maps, schematics, delivery menus. You know that Thai place you love so much?", he said.
