A/N: Yep, this took waaayyyy too long. Sorry about that. There's a scene in this chapter that I really didn't want to write. It had to happen, I just wish it hadn't. You'll see what I mean, once I shut up XD

And Barry isn't in this chapter. Sorry. He's in the next one though

"Okay, hold up!" Cisco said emphatically, "You have a brother?! And you didn't tell us?!"

"It's...complicated." Julian says, seeming somewhat lost in thought

"Well yeah! Why else would you react like that?!"

And then the door to the lab was flung open once again, and Ralph came running in.

"Ralph, what are you doing here?" Caitlin asked, a little annoyed.

"I came for the drama!" Ralph said. "It looked like it would be interesting,"

Julian didn't know how he was going to explain this. Truth be told, what he had done was anything but interesting. Regrettable was a much more suitable word. And now, he had to explain it, in front of two of his friends, and Ralph, someone who he
didn't quite consider to be a friend

"This doesn't concern you." Julian said.

His voice had sounded (and would continue to sound) a bit shaky, and he wanted Ralph to leave.

Unsurprisingly, Ralph did not leave.

"Who cares if it concerns me? I wanna know about it." He said

At this point, it is important to say Ralph genuinely meant no harm. He just not at all a tactful person.

"Get out, Ralph. Please," Julian said as a last resort
"Nope."

-page break-

"We're waiting Draco." Cisco says.

Caitlin rolls her eyes at Cisco's comment.

"Well, where do you want to start?" Julian says reluctantly.

He doesn't want to talk about what happened, especially in front of his girlfriend. But, of course, he has to.

"What happened between you guys?"

'The one time Cisco gets straight to the point', Julian thought, 'it has to be when I don't want him to.'

"Well, You already know about Emma..."

"Who's Emma?" Ralph butted in

"His sister. Now, back to the conversation." Caitlin answered

"Wait. We don't really know about Emma." Cisco interrupts, "I mean, we know she's..." He struggles with how to phrase it, not wanting to anger his friend, "gone, but we don't know how..."

"Car accident." Caitlin fills in, and then adds "Jules told me."

The two smile at each other briefly, trying to ease the awkwardness of the situation, and then their expressions go back to being solemn.

"Yes, that's right." Julian confirms, "But what I didn't tell you was who caused it." He finishes, regret evident in his voice.

"Holy crap, we hired a murderer?!" Ralph said insensitively

Julian, upset by Ralph's comment, but not wanting to show it, decided to ignore Ralph for the rest of the conversation.

Cisco seemed shocked, "Wait, what? Not intentionally, right? ..."

"He didn't cause it on purpose- and I know that, now. He was fifteen at the time, and definitely wouldn't have done something like that."

Caitlin raised an eyebrow, "Now? So you blamed him before?"

"Yes..."

"You thought he killed her?"

"I did..." Julian said slowly, sounding every bit as guilty as he feels, "And I told him... that I never wanted to see him again."

Cisco and Caitlin's jaws dropped, and Ralph's literally hit the floor. Ever since Julian joined team Flash, he had changed, (Which Caitlin was very much responsible for) and they had forgotten he could be so cruel.

After an awkward pause, Cisco, who had been acting slightly guilty the whole time, finally spoke up.

"As long as we're confessing stuff... I knew him before I hired him."

"You knew my brother, and didn't think to tell me?!" Julian says, feeling betrayed.

"I didn't know he was your brother!" Cisco defended, "You two don't even have the same last name! And he sounds American! Well, at least sometimes-"

"How long."

Cisco hesitates, before saying "So remember that time I had to go teach the last semester of a science class? Like, a couple years ago. And he was in that class."

"And he never mentioned me? In name or otherwise?" Julian says, being as thorough as possible.

"Nope."

"And why didn't you try to get him to?" Caitlin says

"Yeah, what she said," Ralph said, trying to be a part of the discussion

"Because I didn't think he wanted to. And it kinda looks like he had reason!" Cisco says, seeming somewhat agitated

"This is getting us nowhere," Caitlin says, her voice soft and kind, "If Julian wants to fix this, then he needs to be talking to his brother. Not us."

"You're right, as usual." Julian says, causing Caitlin to smile at him

And with that, he too left the room.

-insert spacer here-

Eventually, Julian did find his brother. Although he wasn't prepared for what happened after that.

Julian stood behind said brother, who was typing something on a computer within the room typically used for autopsies.

"What are you doing?" Julian asked, hoping to start a conversation.

"Copying Caitlin's handwritten report of an autopsy into the system." Was Dorian's nearly emotionless reply.

Julian noted the lack of emotion, and the seemingly American accent.

"Well, can you stop for a second?" Julian asked

"No," Dorian replied, this time sounding British again.

"Mind telling me why?"

Julian decided not to mention the shifting accent.

"Because," The younger brother said, with what sounded like contempt, "I don't really care about anything you could say."

Definitely contempt. And Julian knew why.

"But we need to talk about this," Julian insisted, "Its important."

"No," Dorian said coldly, "We don't. A long time ago, you were important to me, but not any more."

"I-" Julian had started to say, his hurt becoming even more obvious

"Save it for someone who cares." Dorian spat

Yet again, he left the room.

While Julian, feeling guilty, hurt, and unsure of what to do, let him leave.

A/N: Remember all those times I (annoyingly, and in way-too-long A/Ns)mentioned a complicated relationship?

Welp. There it is. Next chapter will be better. Look forward to flashvibe friendship moments, and some snowbert.

As usual, thank you for reading, and please review or... anything, really, if you liked it.
