"Wait, have I been kidnapped?"
"Unclear." an unfamiliar boy replied, next to him was a woman that looked a lot like him, Caitlin supposed they were siblings.
Doctor Caitlin Snow was looking around, she had never been here before.
Of course she recognised Cisco Ramon, but only because he was the richest man in Central City.
"Caitlin right? I am Barry Allen."
She turned around to see another familiar face, in front of her was standing a lanky young man. He had brown hair, green eyes and a kind smile. He looked at her sheepishly, a curious look on his face.
Finally she nodded and he sighed, he sounded almost relieved, which she thought was strange.
"At least some things are still the way they used to be…"
She wanted to ask him what he was talking about, but by the way he suddenly took interest in the floor, she decided against it.
"I need your help Caitlin. Look, I know this may seem weird: but I know that you are up for the job."
"Job? What job?"
"It seems to be rather urgent." Cisco Ramon interjected, she raised her eyebrow questioningly.
"Are you going blind?"
"What… No?" Barry shook his head, unsure about what Caitlin was up to.
Suddenly there was a noise in the hallway, it sounded strangely like yelling.
Cisco started pressing a few buttons, obviously calling for security, Caitlin backed away from the door, opposed to Wally and Barry who went to stand closer to it.
"I am so sorry sir, we were unable to prevent him from coming through."
Barry backed away in surprise when he saw Harrison Wells bursting through the door, he paid no mind to Barry or the security guards that tried clinging unto his wrist.
"Harry!" Caitlin exclaimed all of a sudden and Barry didn't miss the way Wells' eyes lit up.
"Caitlin! Oh god, Caitlin I was so worried."
Wells walked up to Caitlin in a rapid tempo, wrapping his arms around Caitlin. It wasn't until Wells pressed his lips to the woman's forehead Barry decided something was up.
"Honey, this is Barry Allen, he brought me here. And of course, you know: Cisco Ramon."
"Mister Wells…" Cisco said, bowing his head, Barry didn't dare to speak just yet.
Harrison unwrapped his arms from around Caitlin and walked up to Barry, a menacing look in his eyes. It was then that Wally interjected, putting a hand on Wells' shoulder.
"Hey man, back off. Everything's alright now, isn't it?"
"What happened Cait? I left the lab early to come and pick you up for lunch and you weren't there. Your secretary said that you had darted away, in a blur of red lightning. And of course this would be the place where such strange things occur." Wells said, cocking his eyebrow in Cisco's general direction.
"Mister Wells? It's all on me really. For some reason I thought Caitlin would be able to help me…"
"You have an eye problem?"
Barry shook his head again, he didn't get where all this talk about eyesight was coming from.
"If you don't need an ophthalmologist, I don't see how my wife could be of any use."
Barry started coughing out of sheer surprise, he had never thought he'd bump in on a timeline in which Caitlin and Wells were married. But it wasn't really unimaginable either, he had to give them that.
"However…" Harrison said, rolling up his sleeves.
"If you need a scientist, I think I can help you with that."
