"Bare, you have got to stop running into walls," Caitlin ordered, shining a penlight into Barri's green eyes for third time that week.

"It's only been a few weeks since I got my powers," Barri retorted. "I'm allowed to have some mishaps."

"Your life is a mishap," Cisco shot from his normal chair in the cortex. "Boom! Cait, you better put some ointment on that burn!" Both women shot him dark looks. "Kidding," he added weakly, cringing back in his chair. Barri and Caitlin both rolled their eyes and Caitlin went back to prodding the mark on Barri's forehead.

"It's already almost healed, and no concussion. You're good," Caitlin declared as she snapped her gloves off and tossed them in the trash.

"Thanks, Caitlin," Barri grinned and hopped off the table. She had an interesting past couple months to say the least. She hated hiding the fact she was the Streak from David and Rob. Especially with how worried they both got when she almost passed out from not eating enough right in front of them.

Barri also had to deal with a meta-human that could turn himself into a toxic gas, Kyle Nimbus, or the Mist as Cisco lovingly nicknamed the Meta. Barri had managed to breathe some of the gas in and Caitlin removed it by inserting a rather large needle into her lungs, which hurt. In the end, Barri was able to defeat the Meta and he was currently locked in a power dampening cell in STAR Lab's pipeline.

Wells rolled into the cortex and up to Barri after she jumped down from the table. "Miss Singh, I believe it is time we start testing more of your abilities," he suggested. Barri tilted her head.

"What did you have in mind?"

Turns out, what Wells had in mind was multi-tasking. Barri was speeding between playing chess with Wells, Operation with Caitlin, and a game of table tennis with Cisco. She was doing pretty well until she didn't get a good enough look at the chessboard before making a move, too busy wanting to do this is fast as possible. She was already back at the tennis table, hitting the ball back to Cisco when Wells yelled out, "checkmate!" Barri looked over at him with confusion, letting the ball Cisco hit back smack her in cheek.

"What?" She questioned, ignoring the slight sting to back over to the chessboard. Sure enough, there were three other moves she could've made to ensure she would still be in the game, but she was in too much of a rush to pay enough attention. "Well, shit," she sighed, leaning against the chair across from Wells.

"We'll work on it," the wheelchair bound man assured.

"Uh, Bare, we got a robbery in progress," Cisco called from in front of the monitors. Barri sped over and glanced at the monitor.

"Where am I going?" She asked. Cisco rattled off the coordinates and Barri nodded. She made her way to her suit, changed quickly, and sped out the cortex in under three seconds, leaving a small lightening trail in her wake.

She ran to an in-progress heist and had the men taken down and unmasked in mere seconds. One of the men looked familiar, Barri just couldn't place where. He had dark hair cut close to his scalp and icy blue eyes that were glaring daggers at her. She realized quickly that they were there to steal the Kahndaq Dynasty diamond that she heard was being moved that night from one of the detectives earlier that day.

One of the men quickly got to his feet and fired off a few rounds. Barri dodged them easily enough, but one of the guards wasn't as lucky. Barri quickly ran over to the man, assessing the damage from the bullet and decided to take the man to the hospital, and let the men escape.

As soon as Barri got back to STAR Labs, her phone beeped. "Your dad messaged you!" Cisco called out as she was changing back into normal clothes. She had her dark hair in a braid, resting over her shoulder with some dark jeans, a black tank top, and a red and black flannel shirt left unbuttoned resting over with some black converse.

"What have I told you about looking at my phone?" She teased as she flashed over to take her phone from his hand. He made a confused noise and rolled himself away from her, still in his chair. Barri rolled her eyes with a laugh and looked at the message.

iGet downtown. There was a robbery./i She saw the address and realized it was the same place she was just at. Shoving her phone into her back pocket, Barri quickly grabbed one of the extra kits she kept lying around in case she was called out at wasn't at the station already and hoisted it her shoulder.

"Got to go," she said in a goodbye and sped out of the cortex to the crime scene. David was already there with a few other cops, Detective West included, and Barri grimaced. She didn't necessarily have anything against the detective, but she certainly felt that Clyde Mardon could've been saved, and later that week he found out she was the Streak. He's threatened to tell David a few times when Iris comes by and pushes for information about her for Iris' new blog she was thinking of writing. Joe was completely against it, as was Barri, so Joe had threatened that if Iris finds out or gets hurt because Barri's the Streak, then nothing would stop him from telling David.

Not that it would really matter for much longer. Barri already planned on telling David and Rob soon, she just wasn't sure how to start. 'Hey, dad, Rob, you know that guy that runs around in a red suit that everyone is calling the Streak. Well, he's a she and she's me!' David was going to murder her for not telling him as soon as she found out she had powers. Their entire relationship after he adopted her was based on honesty, and there she was, breaking one of the most important rules to them both. At least she had Rob. He'd have her back.

"Nice of you to join us, Allen," David snapped, fully in Captain mode. She would have to wait a bit to maybe broach the subject of dinner so she could spill the figurative beans.

"Sorry, Captain," apologizing for loosing focus, too. She quickly went through a dramatic telling of the events that transpired, leaving out details that couldn't back with evidence, such as faces beneath masks of anything like that. "I also believe there were four people, not three," she corrected at the end.

"Thank you, Allen." David writes a few things down and walks away towards other detectives. Joe walked up to Barri and leaned forward a bit so his voice wouldn't carry.

"You were here earlier, weren't you?" He questioned and she nodded. "Were you able to see anything?"

"I saw one of their faces, and he looks familiar, but I can't place a name," she sighed , frustrated.

"When we head back, we can take a look at the database; see if any faces ring a bell." Barri thanked him and as she looked around again, she didn't notice David walking up to her.

"Allen?" He questioned.

"Hmm?" She hummed, still a bit distracted from trying to remember the man's face.

"Bare? What's going on in that head of yours?" He asked, dropping the Captain persona for a second and failing easily into 'Dad Mode'. She shook her head.

"It was done too smoothly. Whoever did this has stolen priceless things before." He clapped her on the shoulder lightly.

"Don't worry, Baby, I know you'll find out who did this."

As soon as Barri made it up to her lab and set her kits down to try to get matches for the prints she found, but she was pretty sure the group that tried to steal the diamond was too good to leave partial prints at a crime scene. Joe came in a couple minutes later with a large book full of mug shots. "Take a look through this and let me know if you recognize-" Barri flipped through pages, quickly stopping at one. "Any of them," Joe finished before looking more closely at the mugshot Barri pointed at. "Him? You're sure?" Barri nodded.

"Yeah, I'm sure. Do you know him?"

"That's Leonard Snart; his father was a crooked cop. Guess it runs in the family." Barri frowned. She figured that it would be difficult living with a cop who was discovered of being dirty. And who knows what he did to Snart to as a kid push him in that direction.

"He's father is in jail, too? Maybe we should start a club," she joked, sobering quickly at the dry look Joe gave her. "I'll see if his prints match any of the ones I got from the scene and go from there," she recommended. Joe nodded in agreement and as he turned, Iris was standing there with some coffees in hand.

"Hey, Iris," Barri greeted, closing the mugshot book and placing it on her desk.

"Hey, I brought coffee. Dad?" She offered first, holding one of the still steaming cups to her father. Detective West shook his head.

"No, thanks, baby-girl. I still have some waiting for me on my desk. I'll let you two talk." He walked out the door, but not before shooting Barri a warning look. Yeah, she got it. Don't tell Iris her own secret. Thanks, Joe. Iris skipped over, handing Barri one of the remaining coffees and sitting down on one of the chairs in her lab. Barri took a sip of her drink, vanilla cinnamon as always, and sat across from her friend.

"What brings you here, Iris?" She questioned.

"Besides wanting to see my father, boyfriend, and friend?" Iris started. "I posted my blog last night," she admitted. "There have been so many documented sightings of the Streak, and I have to post about him; I have to let Central City know about our own hero."

"Iris," Barri sighed. "I think this blog is a bad idea." Iris scoffed in annoyance.

"You and dad both, apparently," she muttered under her breath.

"It could put a target on your back," Barri protested, voice raising a bit. After hearing stories from Starling City, the villains would only get worse and more willing to use the people close to you. She didn't want Iris to be one of those casualties; didn't want anyone to be one.

"I'm not stupid, Bare," Iris sniffed. "My name isn't affiliated with the blog." Well, silver lining, Barri supposed.

"Well, you're going to get bombarded by the crazies and internet trolls," she tried again, grinning a bit this time. Iris grinned back.

"Bring it on." A throat cleared behind them, and both women turned to see a woman with black framed glasses and blonde hair pulled back into a ponytail. She was wearing a blue crop-top paired with a high waisted multi-colored and patterned floral skirt.

"Hey, Barri," she greeted with a wave. "I heard you woke up from the coma and wanted to say hi." Barri smiled and let the woman hug her.

"It's good to see you again Felicity."

"So, you have powers?" The blonde questioned as they were walking down the street, Barri drinking her cooling coffee and Felicity grimacing through Joe's discarded one.

"What? No!" Barri denied. Felicity shot him a look with a raised eyebrow.

"I was on the comms when you told Oliver on that rooftop," she said, and Barri felt her heart give a little flutter at the mention of the bow-wielding vigilante. "Also, are you and Iris dating? Because, let me tell, you it's about damn time," Felicity whooped, amusement dancing in her blue eyes.

"Iris and I are never going to date," Barri said firmly. "I got over my crush a while ago and she's also in a serious relationship with one of the detectives. She's also very straight."

"The pretty one with blonde hair?" Felicity guessed.

"Yeah, that's the one."

"Good choice," she mumbled before pulling Barri to a stop. "I want to see it." Barri blinked, confusion seeping through her hazel eyes. "And by it, I mean your speed, obviously," Felicity finished in a ramble. Barri grinned and handed Felicity her coffee to hold on to.

"Watch that building," she ordered, making sure the blonde was looking in the right direction before glancing around to check for wandering eyes and ran up the building, stopped to take a quick picture of her blonde friend, and sped back down all in two seconds. Felicity jumped, surprised to see her back.

"Oh my God, you're fast and you took a picture of me. From on top of a building," she turned her head to look back up at the building, and then back to Barri. She glanced down. "You're also on fire."

"What?" Barri asked before looking down. Her converse were indeed smoking. She stomped on the ground, putting out of the flames as curses spewed from her mouth angrily. "It's fine," she assured Felicity once the fire was out. "It happens all the time."

The two headed back to STAR Labs where Barri went to introduce Felicity to Caitlin and Cisco but found out they already knew each other. "How can we be so sure she'll keep your secret?" Caitlin asked, skeptic of the blonde.

"Felicity works with the Arrow in Starling City," Barri shrugged. "If she can keep that to herself, I'm sure she's fine keeping mine."

"Everything with Starling City makes so much more sense now," Cisco mused and then he narrowed his dark eyes at the blonde. "So you know who the Arrow is?" He paused and turned accusing eyes on Barri. "Wait, do you know who the Arrow is?" Wells rolled in not much longer and greeted Felicity warmly. They spoke briefly before Felicity broached the subject on how Barri trained.

That led to Barri getting the high-speed treadmill ready, while Caitlin and Cisco had led Felicity into the monitor room. "This screen shows her heart rate, blood pressure and oxygen levels as she runs," Caitlin explained as she pointed at the different monitors.

"Alright, Barri, take off!" Cisco commanded through the comms and Barri nodded, starting off at a light jog and then quickly picking up speed.

"How fast can she actually go?" Felicity questioned, watching her friend become a blur with yellow lightening trailing behind her.

"We don't know yet," Caitlin responded.

"Wanna watch me run backwards?" Barri offered, feeling a bit cocky. That was, of course, short lived when she lost her footing, tripped, and went flying back into a wall thankfully padded with boxes.

"It's okay," Caitlin soothed as Cisco laughed. "She heals quickly, too."

"So, what will this trivia night entail?" Felicity questioned as Barri was walking her back to her hotel room.

"Just a bunch of nerds getting together," Barri shrugged. "Seemed like fun and Iris invited us both to go."

"You had me at nerds," the blonde joked. "I'll be there."

"Cool, we'll be teamed up with Iris and Eddie,"Barri explained. "Meet us at Jitters around seven?" Felicity nodded and hugged Barri tightly before promising to see her later.

She decided to stop by Jitters to see how Iris' day was going. "Eddie is not excited about tonight," Iris sighed glumly as soon as Barri got there. "It's not really his scene, but I'm so excited to hang out with you, and you and Felicity seem great together-" Barri's eyebrows furrowed.

"Wait, what?"

"I think this will be a perfect first double date," Iris squealed, continuing as if she didn't notice Barri's face changing expressions.

"Iris, Felicity and I aren't together," Barri explained. Iris shot her a look. "Seriously, we are just friends."

"Bare," Iris sighed. "You know that I don't mind you like women, too, so there's no need to hide this from me. Besides, no one hops on a train for eight hours to come see a friend." Barri frowned. There was no way Felicity had a crush on her, right?

That night Barri was seated across from Iris and Eddie, waiting on Felicity to show up. "Bare, what should our team name be?" Iris questioned.

"E equals MC Hammer," Barri fired off, easily way to excited about the name. Iris and Eddie shared a look, but Iris ultimately keyed in the name.

Felicity showed up a couple minutes later wearing a black mini dress that looked more suited for a club than a coffee shop. "Well, I'm way over dressed," she joked, looking embarrassed as she slid into true seat beside Barri.

"No, it's fine," Iris protested. "You look great!" Felicity thanked her before looking at their team name. "E equals MC Hammer," she noticed with a grin. "That's funny." Barri noticed Iris and Eddie share an amused glance at each other but ignored it as the games began.

Felicity and Barri were a powerhouse together, putting puzzles together and answering questions at speeds other teams couldn't help but fall short of. "You two are killing it," Iris commented with a grin. Eddie nodded in agreement, seemingly a bit surprised at how much the two women knew. Their winning streak continued until they got a buzzer.

"Sorry, guys," Eddie said glumly. "I thought I knew it and got excited."

"It's okay, they probably don't even know it," Barri tried with a shrug.

"Yeah," Felicity interjected with a smile as she glanced over her should to a table with a group dressed as Star Wars characters. "I'm sure the team named 'Pride and Padawans' doesn't know what the name of Han Solo's ship." The group cheered as the bell dinged in their favor.

"Oh, honey," Iris cooed, grabbing Eddie's face in between her palms. "You're so cute when you're confused." His face pinched a bit in distaste before allowing their lips to crash heatedly. Barri let out a low whistle, turning her head to look anywhere else but at them. Awkward kissing was awkward.

Eddie's phone beeped, breaking his and Iris' kiss and dragging all of their gazes to the phone. Eddie read the message and the leaped out of his seat. "I gotta go; Snart's been spotted." Iris stood with him, walking him to the front entrance while Barri and Felicity shared a glance, both moving at the same time towards the back entrance.

"I'll cover for you," Felicity offered. "I usually tell people Oliver's at a nightclub with a girl or nursing a hangover."

"Neither of those will work," Barri said, shrugging on a leather jacket over her black long-sleeved shirt.

"Really bad stomach ache," the blonde tried again. "Explosive diarrhea."

"Yeah, I'm not comfortable with that, either," Barri quickly shot down.

"Just go!" She didn't have to tell Barri twice. She quickly sped her way to the lab to change and made it to the theater Cisco directed her to just in time to watch Snart shoot something almost white at Joe. Knowing that her body could take more of a beating, she tossed herself in the way and gasped as a beam of cold assaulted her torso. The ice that covered her stomach was so cold that it burnt some pieces of the suit, and some of her skin underneath.

"You good?" Joe questioned. Barri sucked in breath after breath quickly.

"It burns," she gasped out, turning her head just in time to see Snart aiming the gun at her again. She shoots up, running off. Snart looked around the movie theater, goggles on and gun held up in a position to shoot easier. Barri was little worried. That gun could easily cause some damage to her specifically, and she really wanted to know how he did it.

"Time for a test run!" Snart shouted out, looking a bit amused as the corner of his lips twitched upwards. He looked around for a target. "Let's see how fast you really are." He aimed at some people on the second floor, and shot. Barri quickly moved them to safety, as well as the couple running up the steps out of the line fire as well.

Gasping in pain from the burning in abdomen, Barri leaned against a pillar, eyes widening when Snart set his covered gaze on a man in a suit coming up one of the theater isles. Barri ran along side the steam of white, but didn't make it in time to save the man. "No!" She shouted, falling down beside the man. He was covered in frost. Barri didn't even notice they Snart had made his escape. All she could think of was that she just cost someone their life.

Barri was sitting on a table in the cortex, tee-shirt pulled up to show the still blackened patch of skin on her abdomen. "It's still numb," she informed Caitlin after the doctor finished prodding around the edges of the skin.

"It's presenting itself like third degree frostbite," the brunette informed, allowing Barri to lower her shirt back down.

"I thought she had hyper healing," Felicity commented, looking something over on a tablet.

"It's been slowed. If your cells weren't regenerating at the rate they are, your blood vessels would have been frozen solid and the damage would've been permanent." Caitlin's eyes turned more serious. "You're lucky to be alive." Barri stood up and let out a sigh.

"Snart wasn't a meta-human. He had a gun that froze things. It-it slowed me down. Enough that I wasn't fast enough to save someone."

"According to his records, Snart didn't even finish high school," Felicity said, motioning with the tablet in her hand. How did he build a high tech, hand held snow machine?" She looked over to Wells, who had stayed silent.

"STAR Labs built the cold gun," he admitted, and Barri's eyes widened a bit.

"Doctor Wells and Caitlin had nothing to do with it," Cisco cut it in and looked Barri in the eyes. "I built the gun."

"You did?" Barri questioned in a small tone. "Why?"

"I designed a compact cryo-engine to achieve absolute zero. I built it to stop you. I didn't know who you were then, Bare. What if you turned out to be some psychopath like Mardon or Nimbus-"

"But I didn't!" Barri cut him off, speaking for the time since Cisco stared explaining his reasoning.

"We built the entire structure you're standing on to so good," Caitlin interjected. "And it blew up. In the wake of that, you can understand why Cisco would want to be prepared for the worst."

"I can understand that," Barri said. "I completely understand that reasoning. I just don't understand why you didn't tell me. After all we've been through? I thought you trusted me? I thought we were friends?" She didn't even realize she was shouting at this point.

"We are, Bare," Cisco smiled, moving closer to her.

"If you had just told me, I could've been prepared, but instead, someone died tonight." Cisco gave her a look like she had just stabbed him, and Barri felt a tiny jolt of shame.

"And I have to live with that."

"No," Barri denied. "We all do." Barri walked out of the cortex, leaving everyone standing there. She didn't know what to think about this revelation. On one hand, she understood where he was coming from. All the metas they've faced so far haven't been good. On the other, she thought she had Cisco had built a friendship quickly and she felt betrayed that he would build something targeted to hurt her specifically. She needed to run off some steam.

Barri wasn't sure how long she'd been running for when Felicity calling her name made her slow to a stop, panting. "Hey," she greeted the blonde. "What are you still doing here? You should go back to your hotel and get some sleep," she suggested.

"So should you," Felicity shot back.

"I can't sleep," Barri said. "Every time I close my eyes, I see his face. I watched him idie/i." Barri shook her head, dark ponytail flipping over shoulder with the movement. "I need to get faster."

"Barri, that man's death is not your fault. And it's not Cisco's either. I know you're upset, but you have to look at this from his point of view."

"I get it. He didn't trust me," she said with a shrug. Felicity's eyes narrowed and she stepped up to the platform that held the modified treadmill.

"When you first met us; Oliver, Diggle, and me. We're a well-oiled archery machine, but we didn't start out that way. And unlike you guys, we weren't tossed together over night. We came together one at a time. It took more than watching Oliver do the salmon ladder to make me trust him," she added a bit slyly. Jealously flared up in Barri that she quickly had to smash back down. She and Oliver hadn't even been out on a date yet. What right did she have to get jealous over another woman watching him? Shirtless. Sweating. Oh, Felicity's still speaking. And was now standing by the door. "I've seen first hand what this life can do to people. It's a lonely path. Don't make it any lonelier than it has to be."

Barri was standing in the cortex a bit later, looking over a monitor screen when Cisco walked in quickly. "I may have figured out a way to track Captain Cold."

"You've got to stop naming these guys," Caitlin said making Barri grin to herself for a second.

"How?" She questioned, turning around to face him, frowning a bit. Even though what Felicity was said was true, she still felt bitter and hurt.

"The cold gun is powered by an engine controlled unit"The cold gun is powered by an engine controlled unit micro-computer that regulates air to fuel ratio so the sub-cold fluid in the chambers don't overflow-"

"And explode," Felicity finished.

"Yes," Cisco agreed, pointing at Felicity excitedly. "This ECU was receiving updates wirelessly from my tablet," he went on to explain about how he could track the cold gun, moving around the table Caitlin and Wells were seated at to get to one of the monitors.

"How long do you need?" Barri questioned, thinking about it for a second.

"First I have to hack into the city's network, so, I don't know; thirty minutes, maybe?" He guessed with a shrug.

"I can do it in less than one," Felicity cut in, sitting down in one of the chairs in front of a computer. "When it comes to hacking, I'm the fastest woman alive," she bragged, cracking her knuckles and yelping when a loud crack shot through the air, shaking her hands. "That was not as badass as I pictured," she complained before she started typing.

True to her word, it took mere moments for Felicity to gain access. A few more and Barri was given an address to where Snart was heading. A train station. "Looks like he got what he came for," Wells mused as he looked over at her. She nodded, zipping away to change into her red suit.

"When we put our minds to it, dude, nothing can stop us," Cisco grinned, tapping his temple. Barri reaches up and turned her comm off. Cisco frowned and rested back a bit in surprise. "You turned your comm off. How are we supposed to talk to each other?"

"I don't really feel like talking right now," she said and ran off. She made it the train station, running past Joe and Eddie and burst through the train doors in front of Snart. He aimed the cold gun at her.

"I never noticed before," he started, tilting his head. "Does your mom know you're out past your bedtime?" Barri smiles despite the situation. She really shouldn't even be surprised. Even villains thought she looked like a baby.

"If you wanted to get away, you should've taken something faster than a train."

"That's if I wanted to get away," Snart returned and Barri's smile slipped into a confused frown. "I've seen your weakness. At the armored car and then at the theater; see, while you're busy saving everybody, I'll be saving myself." He lowered the gun, firing at the floor. The wheels froze and Snart tossed himself off of the train when it started to derail. Barri tapped into her speed, slowing down time and zipping her way through the compartments, getting everyone safely to ground as the train compartments started crashing into each other as the train made its way completely off the tracks.

When she had gotten everyone, Barri collapsed to the ground and tried to catch her breath. She let out a scream as the cold gun was fired into her back and she went back down. "Thank you," Snart said in that calm tone that never seemed to raise.

"For what?" She gasped out, turning onto her back and lifting herself up onto her elbows.

"You forced me to up my game. Not just with this gunNot just with this gun, but with how I think about the job. It's been educational."

"Drop it," a voice ordered from behind Snart and Barri could hear the whirring of something firing up. Snart frowned, turning his head to see Cisco holding something large, pointing it straight at Snart. Caitlin and Felicity carried an attachment behind him. "This is a prototype cold gun," Cisco explained. "Four times the size, four times the power."

"I was wondering who you were talking to ," Snart mused, looking back at Barri.

"Hey!" Cisco snapped. "Unless you want a taste of your own medicine, I'd back the hell up."

"Your hands are shaking," Snart noticed in that same bored tone. "You've never killed anyone."

"There's a first time for everything," Cisco retorted, teeth clenched tightly together. "Captain Cold." Snart's head tilted and he glanced back down at Barri for a minute.

"You win, kid." He raised the cold gun, letting rest against his shoulder. "I'll see you around." He turned and walked away, Cisco keeping the weapon pointed at him until he was out of sight. The weapon powered down and Cisco turned to look at herZ

"I couldn't shoot him even if I want to," he confided. "This is the STAR Labs vacuum cleaner with a lot of LEDs." He let out a laugh and moved to help Barri out of ice restraints.

"Thank you," she said grasping his forearm tightly. "You saved my life." Barri's eyes glanced behind him towards Caitlin and Felicity. "All of you saved my life."

Back at the cortex, Barri was changed into a pair of dark sweatpants and a STAR Labs sweatshirt, talking to Cisco. "You're a good friend," she said honestly.

"I'm sorry you got hurt because of me." Barri waived it off.

"I feel like it's part of the job description now," she joked. "I forgive you, Cisco. I know you would've never use it against me once we got to know each other."

"Not even jokingly," he replied. She hugged him tightly and then turned to Felicity as she was saying her goodbyes to everyone; Caitlin offered to drive her to the train station. Barri was going to run Felicity over, but got a text from David asking her to dinner.

She and the blonde hugged goodbye, and then Barri took off towards David and Rob's house. She stopped about half a block away and jogged the rest of the way. She dug our her key and pushed the door open. "Bare?" Rob called from the kitchen.

"Yeah, it's me! That smells amazing!" She called back.

"Hi, Baby!" David called, coming down the steps and sweeping her up in a tight hug.

"Hey, dad. Thanks for inviting me to dinner. I'm starving."

"You're always hungry, Bare," Rob playfully chastised, coming into the living room with as he wiped his hands on a towel.

"Hey, before dinner, I have something to talk to you both about," she stated, wringing her hands 's when Barri noticed the gleam shining off of his ring finger on his left hand. "Is that- Are you?" David wrapped an arm around Rob's shoulder, both of them with excited grins on their faces.

"We're engaged," Rob revealed. Barri congratulates them both, bringing them into tight hugs.

"That's amazing! When did this happen?"

"Earlier today," David said and then looked at her closely. "You said you had something to tell us?" Barri swallowed and smiled.

"It can wait; tonight is about you."

"Baby, are you sure?" David pushed. Barri waved his concern off.

"It's fine, dad. Don't worry about it. Now, tell me everything."
