ANNA LOST TRACK of how long she had been in S.T.A.R Labs. After getting a call from Caitlin the night before saying that Professor Stein had collapsed, Anna was by the older man's side in the blink of an eye. They didn't have much of a connection, but she truly liked the man and had a lot of respect for him.
The brunette stared at the whirling breach in front of her, brows furrowed. She folded her arms over her chest, blowing out a sigh. "How did we not notice this?" She questioned and glanced over at Barry who was walking toward her.
"Pretty amazing, isn't it?" Barry questioned and stuffed his hands into his pockets, nudging Anna's arm with his elbow.
"I still can't believe what I'm looking at," Jay said, glancing down at Anna with a smile. "It's beautiful though, isn't it?"
Anna looked up at Jay, shrugging her shoulders as she returned the small smile. "Not sure a portal that can bring Zoom here to kill us all is beautiful, but whatever you say," she said and glanced up at Barry, furrowing her brows as his jaw clenched over and over again. She dropped her arms to her side, reaching out to rest her left hand against the boy's back.
Barry glanced down at her, causing her to smile softly at him. He returned the gesture and looked back at the breach. "Fifty-two breaches in Central City and the biggest one just happens to be in our basement," he said and looked around the room, his eyes not meeting Jay's.
"We need a name for it," Cisco spoke up, glancing over at his girlfriend who nodded in agreement.
"It's not a pet, Cisco," Caitlin cut in, causing Cisco to shake his head.
"No, it isn't a pet, you're right. But! But, and I mean but, neither are the metahumans and we still name them," Shannon pointed out matter-of-factly and held her finger up in the air, tilting her head forward slightly as she looked at Caitlin. "Therefore, it's valid for us to name the breach."
"Not a breach, Ms. Gates—a wormhole," Martin Stein said from behind the group, causing Anna to bolt toward the man and hold his arm. "I'm alright, dear. Really," he added softly and looked over at the brunette, smiling slightly.
"Professor Stein, what are you doing?" Caitlin questioned once she turned toward the man, her brows furrowing. "Your blood pressure is 147 over 82. You could pass out again."
Stein shrugged his shoulders and began walking, causing Anna to walk slowly beside him. "It's merely a few points above the 140 average for someone my age. Besides, I have some ideas I would like to contribute to this discussion, Dr. Snow," he announced and looked around the room, his eyes landing on the wormhole.
