Barry sped along in his new speedster suit towards downtown Central City. After his victory in stopping Clyde Mardon, he decided that he continue his crusade as the heroic speedster.
"Barry," Cisco called through the comms but Barry kept running along. "Barry!"
The speedster stopped in his tracks. "What? Did I miss it?" he asked.
"You overshot by about six blocks," answered Cisco.
"My bad," said Barry as he turned around and sped to the location of the fire.
When he reached the burning building, a woman was shouting for her daughter. Barry ran just in time to find more people trapped in the burning building.
"You there yet?" Cisco asked through the comms.
"What are you doing?" Caitlin's voice startled him that he turned off all the computers and turned to her.
"Nothing," answered Cisco.
"Who are you talking to?" Caitlin pressed.
"No one."
"Are you talking to Barry?"
"Who?" asked Cisco, who then wanted to slap himself afterwards for the stupid question.
"Barry Allen?" answered Caitlin as she began to walk towards Cisco slowly. "Struck by lightning? In a coma for nine months? Woke up being able to run faster than the speed of sound? Ring a bell?"
"Nope, haven't talked to him," Cisco lied.
"Cisco, there's fire everywhere!" Barry's voice called through the comms.
Dammit... Cisco thought.
At the burning building, Barry was trying to protect himself while trying to find the people still trapped inside.
"Mom?" a little girl's voice called. "Mommy?"
Barry ran towards the voice that belonged to a little girl holding onto her doll for dear life. He carried her to safety and her mother found her. Then, Barry proceeded to bring out the last two of the trapped and ran from the scene.
He let out a big breath and said to Cisco in his earpieces, "Everybody's out. What else you got for me, Cisco?"
"Barry, it's Caitlin," said Caitlin through the comms like a mother scolding her child.
Barry went silent for a moment. "Hey, Caitlin," he greeted her in a somewhat high pitched voice, trying to lighten the mood. "How's your day?"
"Get back to S.T.A.R Labs now," Caitlin demanded.
"On my way," said Barry, defeated. He was definitely in trouble.
As he was about to run, he suddenly felt dizzy and his ears were ringing, making him stumble and he tried to hold on to the trash bin to stabilize himself. Once he finally got a hold himself, he ran to S.T.A.R Labs.
He reached the Cortex swiftly and was met by an upset Caitlin. "Have you both lost your minds? Who do you think you are?" she scolded both Barry and Cisco.
"Well, I'm the eyes and ears," said Cisco as he pointed to himself and then to Barry. "And he's the feet."
"This isn't funny. You could have gotten yourself killed," said Caitlin. "You can't be running around the city like some supersonic fireman."
"Why not?" Barry tried to reason. "This is what we talked about. Me using my speed to do good."
"We talked about you helping contain people who have been affected by the particle accelerator explosion. Meta-humans. And aside from Clyde Mardon, we haven't found any."
