Part 39

Caitlin stood at the door to STAR labs as Barbara and a teenage boy got out of a fancy black van. Caitlin smiled when she saw the red headed woman that had been like a sister to her in college.

"Damn Barbara, you never said that your old roommate was hot!" said the boy.

"Timothy Drake! You don't use that kind of language in front of ladies. Besides, you know that I am the wrong woman to judge how hot another woman is. If you want to find out if a woman is hot from another woman you would be better off asking Bruce's cousin Kate Kane." Said Barbara

"Uh Kate scares me. More than an angry Bruce does." Said Tim

"Sorry. It's good to see you again Caitlin." Said Barbara

"You too. Come on in. Most of the team is here. Uh I think only Joe West is missing. Barry, Cisco and Wally are here. Cisco has already started looking through all the tech you had sent over. He is acting like a kid in a candy store. Or maybe it is just him in candy store."

"I am sure. Tim pull out that scanner. We need to make sure that there are no bugs inside the building." Said Barbara

"Yeah sure." Said Tim pulling a device out of his bag and turning it on.

"Barbara do you really think someone got a bug in here?" asked Caitlin

"Yes. Not everyone can hack in like I can. Heck I even hacked into the Arrow Cave and Felicity has no clue. I know how to hack into your own cameras without anyone knowing I am there." Said Barbara

"If your dad only knew what you do with the computer science degree he helped you pay for." Said Caitlin

"Yeah well my degree is completely paid off thanks to my employer."

"Well Bruce Wayne is a billionaire."

"True."

As they exited the elevator the scanner Tim was holding had an alarm go off. Tim walked around the cortex and came to a stop in font in of a wall. He looked closely and picked up a robotic bee.

"Here is one bug. It kind of looks like a bee." Said Tim

"Did you say bee! I hate bees! No one has got time for bees!" said Cisco

"Tim finish scanning the building." Said Barbara

"Yes Oracle. You are worse than the Bat." Said Tim

"Wait a robotic bee? That sounds familiar." Said Caitlin

"Oh frack! You're right. Bug Eye Bandit! She used those things to kill people and try to kill Dr. McGee." Said Cisco

Barbara moved to one of the computers and in seconds brought up video of Bree Larven being released from Iron Heights after meeting with a man in a wheelchair that Barbara identified as Clifford Devoe.

"I am running a trace on where the transmission from the bee." Said Barbara

"Why would Devoe spy on us?" asked Barry

"So he knows what we are doing. He is smart. Barry, I mean he came up with a back up to create the metas he needed for the enlightenment." Said Caitlin

"Cait do you realize that he knows our identities? And that you are pregnant with triplets." Said Barry

Barbara looked up from the computer and stared at the two heroes.

"Barry did you just say triplets?" asked Barbara

"Uh yeah. He did. Surprise!" said Caitlin

"So I guess even a insane time remnant can really knock a woman up." Said Barbara

"Yeah I guess." Said Barry

"Yeah when Barry found out he was going to help raise three babies that all might be speedsters, he passed out." Said Cisco

"You would bring that up Cisco." Said Barry

"Hey at least Dr. Tannhouser didn't listen to Caitlin and slap you awake. She used smelling salts." Said Cisco

"True. Cait for someone who took an oath to do no harm you sure like to hit me." Said Barry

"Don't be such a wimp." Said Caitlin

Barry just smiled at Caitlin. He knew that she was just teasing him.

"You know that you can hit me anytime you want beautiful." Said Barry placing a kiss on Caitlin's cheek.

Tim came back into the cortex with half a dozen more bugs.

"There is one place I didn't look. I don't have access to that part of the building. It's where the particle accelerator was." Said Tim

"Yeah that is our temporary prison. We have two metas down there. Cisco, Wally, Barry and I are the only ones that can access that part of the lab." Said Caitlin

"We can check there later Tim. We should also check each of your homes as well." Said Barbara

"If you want to check bedrooms. You won't be able to at Joe's house Barbara. But I can take Tim over and have him do it. Or Wally could." Said Barry

"Yeah dad's house is two stories and unless you want someone to carry you, you can't get up the stairs." Said Wally

"Well that is fine. I have a second scanner. You boys could go to Detective West's house. I can go with Caitlin to her apartment and check it out." Said Barbara

"That would work." Said Barry

"But first let's get this equipment installed. Then we can worry about your homes." Said Barbara

Just then Barry's phone rang. He looked at it and seeing that it was Joe he answered.

"Hey Joe. What's going on?"

Caitlin watched Barry as he talked. She could tell that it was not good news.

"Yeah I will tell Cait. Oh Joe, later I am bringing a friend of Caitlin's friend Barbara by the house to check for bugs. We found a bunch here at STAR labs already. We are also going to be improving security to the place. Yes I know it is about time. Ok see you later. Yes I will let them know that they are invited to dinner. I am pretty sure between Wally and me we can get Barbara's wheelchair into the house. Bye."

Barry hung up and turned to the group.

"Ok Joe arrested Iris earlier today. She was in possession of that gun that can kill all metas. But he also said that she seems to really be mentally unstable so she will most likely go for a psychological evaluation. Most likely she will be put in a mental hospital. Joe has also invited all of us to dinner tonight. Barbara we will most likely have to have carry you up to the porch." Said Barry

"That is fine. I normally don't like to be carried but I can make an exception this time." Said Barbara

"Great." Said Barry
