Barry Allen is a pretty smart kid. In fact he was pretty much a genius. He had flaws like constantly late, and being in love with someone who would never want him. When he turned into the Flash he thought he had gotten the golden opportunity to get Iris. He was wrong. He found that he liked keeping it a secret. Watching Iris drool over the Flash was hard though. He still wanted her, but how could she not realize that the person she was fawning over was him? He would get over it though.

Especially since while he was in a coma she got a boyfriend. Shows what she was worried about. Well things looked pretty good, though boring. Until one day the department was having a transfer of this guy who was supposedly smarter than he was. Barry was instantly intrigued. His name was Spencer Reid. He sounded like a cool guy and Barry couldn't wait to meet him.

The day he walked in Barry had to hold himself back, so he wouldn't overwhelm the guy. Eventually he got to approach him "Hey!" Barry says as he gives his hand to shake. Spencer smiles big "hey, and you… are Barry." Barry just beams at him. Spencer smiles back before Barry leads him up to his little work space. "This looks like a place I'd like to work in" Spencer says as he follows Barry.

Barry shows him his own desk and the small amount of equipment he has to use. That was when Joe came up to tell them that they had a crime to analyze in a few minutes. Spencer smiled at Barry "Shall we do this?" Barry liked this guys attitude already "Yeah, let's go." Once there Spencer actually beat Barry in saying that the murder was not a robbery, and Barry topped that with adding that it had to have been by somebody they had known because there was no sign of struggle.

He held back from adding the part of it could have been someone invisible. Let's hold back on the crazy for now. We needed to keep Spencer around. Plus he would find out on his own soon enough. When they got back to the lab and sent in samples to be tested Barry and Spencer found themselves in their office yet again.

This time they were hungry. Barry went out and got pizza and while they were eating Spencer began talking. "You know I have done some research on this place. Naturally I wanted to know what I was getting into. Do you think the scene from earlier could have been caused by someone who is… a meta-human."

Barry chocked on his pizza that he had just taken a bite out of. Well… maybe it wasn't going to be so crazy for Spencer after all. Barry began to explain his theory to Spencer and Spencer listened and though he had his own theory it was nice to have someone be quiet the entire time you explain something and actually listen to you. After Barry was done explaining his theory on an invisible meta-human Spencer began to explain what he thought it was.

He thought it was a meat-human that could transport to places because there was no sign of forced entry. Both ideas were good and neither of them tore down the other's idea. To Barry it was nice to have someone to listen to him without the other one trying to draw their own conclusion. For Spencer it was nice to have someone understand him without him simplifying it.
