It's a slow day. Barry drums his fingers on his desk as he idly waits for the day to be over. There were no new assignments today and no calls from the STAR labs. Maybe criminals really do take breaks. When it finally comes time for Barry to clock out, he jumps up, eager to do something fun. Maybe he could take the night off and chill. It'd been a while since he'd had time to himself. However, as he leaves his lab, he realizes he won't be getting any peace and quiet tonight."Barry! I was just gonna head up to see you!" A familiar face smirks at him as he descends the staircase.
"What are you doing here, Seb?" Barry sighs. It's not like he doesn't like his brother. It's just that he doesn't, well, he doesn't like his brother.
"Didn't you get the memo? I live here now." Sebastian grins.
"At the police station? Did you get arrested or something?" Barry jokes.
"Haha. No, I moved to Central City." Sebastian announces. Barry halts in his steps.
"What?"
"Honestly Barry, if I didn't know better I'd say you weren't happy to see me." Sebastian says slyly, knowing full well Barry was less than pleased.
"What? No, no, it's um, great. What made you decide to come out here?" Barry manages to ask.
"I got a job with the DA's office here." Sebastian tells him. Barry is unable to respond.
"Sebastian?" Joe finally sees them standing there and he walks over. "What are you doing here?"
"I live in Central now." Sebastian brings Joe up to speed.
"Wow. The DA's office. Congratulations!" Joe smiles, then pauses. "I thought you were going to stay in Ohio and help out in the DA's office there?"
"Nah, Dad doesn't work there anymore. He and Mom are in Europe, so I needed to land another job." Sebastian says casually, but next to him, Barry stiffens.
"Uh, why don't we get some coffee? We can all catch up." Joe suggests, seeing Barry's expression. "Bar? Can you grab my bag? I think I left it at my desk. Thanks." Then, he takes Sebastian by the arm and guides him out of the precinct. Barry nods, despite Joe having already left and slowly walks over to Joe's desk.
