Caitlin pov
"I'm sorry we just sprung this up on you like that. We just got really scared and there isn't a meta doctor here we can exactly just contact because there are none other than you" Iris said wholeheartedly as I walked a few steps behind her.
"Don't worry it" I said kindly.
"I'm really glad you're here though. We haven't seen you in forever" Iris added as she handed me a cup of coffee.
"I know. I can't believe it's been two years already" I smiled sadly at her.
"Times flies" Iris added laughing awkwardly.
"Umm guys...so I-I uh-I had to–well Liam knows you're the Flash Barry" I said turning towards him.
"Wait he-he didn't know?" Iris asked stunned.
"Well no, not until today when you showed up to our house" I explained turning my gaze towards Barry.
"Oh" He replied equally stunned.
"We sort of assumed he already knew, since it's been two years and you guys are...together...you know?" Iris explained rubbing Barry's arm tenderly.
"Oh! No-I never told him about you Barry. It wasn't my secret to tell" I said shifting my weight from one foot to the other uncomfortably.
"Thanks I appreciate it Caitlin" He replied shortly with a hint of sincerity in his voice.
"Did he just called you 'Caitlin'. As in the concept of your full name?" Frost huffed offendedly.
"It is my name Frost" I huffed back.
"Two years and all we get is a 'thanks Caitlin'. WHAT—AN
ASS—!" Frost rolled her eyes angrily.
"Can we not talk about this right now?" I replied sternly.
"Well there is clearly nothing to talk about here. We did our job as a 'doctor' now let's get out butt back to Sydney with our man" Frost demanded before shutting me out.
"You're welcome" I smiled at him ignoring Frost's childish outburst.
"Uh well I really need to get back home. I left Liam kinda baffled with the whole 'Barry is the Flash' news and I got a lot of explaining piled up" I spoke after a longer awkward silence.
"Right. You guys should come over once Nora is feeling better; maybe we can have nice dinner and catch up" Iris suggested looking at him with an honest invitation.
"Sure. Just let me know when and we will have Cisco breach us here" I smiled.
"I'm sure you'd rather travel in luxurious jets" Barry commented bitterly.
"Ah well you know, traveling around the world with a billionaire boyfriend by your side, you get used it with due time" I snapped back defensively clenching my jaw.

He has the audacity to make a hasty comment when he can't even start a normal conversation with me?
Screw him!

"Talking about the rich. We really need to visit your new home in Sydney. I've heard from a good source that it is absolutely breathtakingly gorgeous" Iris swooned excitingly.
"Is this 'good source' of yours Cisco?" I laughed shaking my head in humor.
"Maybe..." Iris said smirking.
"Most definitely" I confirmed for her.
"He might have sent me a video or two" She winked.
"You guys are welcomed anytime. Just let me know when you want to visit, so we don't book anything else and also have Liam's airline company book you a plane" I smiled happily as Iris excitedly rushed towards me in gratitude to hug me.
"You've just made a wife and mother very happy. I love you" Iris exclaimed squealing happily.
"What are friends for?" I laughed hugging her back.
In spite of the fact that neither Me nor Barry have stayed in touch; Iris and I have talked nearly everyday these past couple of years; if we're not FaceTiming then we're messaging; and if we're not messaging then we are sending each other voiceovers. Surprisingly the distance brought us closer together then we ever were while sitting two desks away every day in S.T.A.R labs.
Iris and I have built a sister like relationship these past two years and for that I am the most proud.
"Alright alright I'll FaceTime you later and we can plan all thingssssss!" She said excitedly.
"I'll be waiting" I smirked.
"Someone ordered a CiscoUber?" Cisco appeared out of nowhere making us all jump startled.
"CiscoUber?" I questioned cracking a smile at his jokes.
"You heard me lady? It will be $80" he added in all seriousness.
"I'll pay you back when you pay me back the $200 I loaned you for your date out with Gypsy about 4 years ago" I replied sassily.
"Dang woman! Why you gotta expose me like that?" Cisco complained jokingly.
"So free CiscoUber today?" I asked satisfied by my victory.
"Yes" He whined.
"I'll see you guys soon" I waved goodbye.
"Very soon!" Iris added happily and I smiled.
Barry just gave me a small nod and a outline of what appeared to be a attempted smile.
I guess it's better than nothing.

Let's go home.....
