CHAPTER 15- STAR WEST

STAR Labs:

"Jessie, here's your coffee" Barry walked into her office.

"Thank you Barry" She said and took a sip as he sat across and observed her messy office.

"Why are you smiling?" Jessie asked as Barry started smiling.

"Nothing, I'm just remembering the lecture you gave me two days ago about my room's condition" Barry replied laughing.

"This is because of you!" Jessie replied.

"What did I do?" Barry asked.

"It would have been better if you would have taken some responsibility on our company.. At least on this branch" Jessie replied agitated.

"What do you mean by this branch?" Barry asked, not understanding.

"You need to move on and get the memories restored" Jessie groaned.

"Why is this about me getting my memories restored?" Barry asked.

"We have a branch of our company in Star city as well. It is called STAR West. The manager who worked there expired recently, so I have to take care of everything now" Jessie said as Barry nodded.

"Why don't you hire a new one?" Barry asked.

"We need someone who not only can handle the company but also work as a scientist or some sort and you here are not interested to take up that charge" Jessie replied.

"I'm sorry, I will ask J'onn to restore mine the moment he comes back from Mars" Barry replied.

"Barry I'm Sorry.. I shouldn't have talked like that. I know what you're going through. I was just irritated by this work and I haven't slept in a while…so.." Jessie babbled.

"Relax Jessie" Barry said as Jessie stopped babbling.

"Take a break...go back home and get some sleep" Barry continued.

"Thank you Barr! Don't worry I will figure out something" Jessie said.

"We will" Barry said as Jessie smiled.

National City :

The Next Morning :

"Good Morning Sunshine" Barry said as Kara woke up.

"Barr.. What are you doing here?" Kara asked.

"Apparently National City police department had requested CCPD to send their CSI as for a one day replacement as their CSI is on a leave" Barry replied.

"Oh! Okay" Kara said and kissed him.

"So what do you want for breakfast?" Barry asked.

"Not that I don't want to have breakfast with you but don't you have a case to attend?" Kara asked.

"They just requested 10 minutes ago. No normal human can travel that fast from Central City to National City" Barry winked as Kara laughed and hugged him.

"So tell me what do you want?" Barry asked.

"Pancakes would be fine" Kara replied.

"Okay, you go freshen up and I'll make them and get them ready for you" Barry said.

After their breakfast, Barry reached the address he was given.

"You must be the CSI" A Officer said approaching Barry after seeing the CSI Kit in Barry's hand.

"Yeah, Barry Allen from CCPD" Barry said shaking his hands.

"I'm John Moore" The officer said as they entered the crime scene.

"So what happened?" Barry asked.

"Homicide" Moore said as Barry nodded "Victim's name is Clifford Yates, Age 38"

Barry walked past the hall into the kitchen to find the body with stab in the stomach region .

He started collecting the samples.

"Found the weapon?" Barry asked.

"Yeah, kitchen knife" He replied passing over as Barry sealed it in a zip bag.

Barry started searching for clues all over the place. After a while, he left to NCPD's crime lab to test them.

"So anything?" Moore came in to NCPD Crime lab asking Barry.

"I was about to come to give you the reports" Barry said handing the file.

"There was only the victim's fingerprint on the knife. The killer might have worn gloves to make sure no fingerprints to be found. So found anyone having motive to kill him?" Barry asked.

"No one yet… his wife divorced him a couple of years ago and moved to Europe. He's been single since then" He replied as Barry nodded.

"Thank you Mr. Allen" The officer said giving a hand.

"Hope you find the killer" Barry said shaking the hand and collected his belongings and left.

Barry ran to Kara's loft and called her.

"Hi Kara, I'm at your Loft. Wanna catch some lunch?" Barry asked.

"I would love to, but I'm in middle of something..I am so sorry" Kara said and Barry cut in.

"It's okay Kara, you don't have to apologize" Barry said as Kara let a laugh.

"Ok then, I'll head back to Central. Bye Kara" Barry said.

"Bye Barry, I love you" Kara said.

.

Barry walked into the cortex.

"Barry, I thought you were working in National City today" Caitlin said.

"Yeah I completed my work over there Soon after that, Singh called me and asked me to take the day off" He replied sitting beside her.

Barry started speed searching on the computer.

"Barry, what are you doing? You're trying to use it way too fast for the system to handle the speed" Caitlin said.

"I'm trying to search for a candidate who can handle our Star City's branch. Jessie is getting too stressed due to that work" Barry said.

"Yeah I know, I tried to help her but business is not my forte" Caitlin said.

"Not mine either" Barry said.

"You both are quite the pair" A new voice said walking in.

Barry and Caitlin turned around to see Sara Lance standing.

"Sara!" Barry said and hugged her. Caitlin repeated the same.

"Don't take me wrong, But what are you doing here?" Caitlin asked as Sara glared.

"I mean you always come when something dangerous is going to happen" Caitlin said as Sara laughed.

"Relax you both. There's no bad happening" Sara said which relieved both Barry and Caitlin.

"But there is a reason for my visit" She continued.

During that, Ray and Nora Darkh walked in.

Ray and Nora hugged both Barry and Caitlin.

"Oh I get it now, Congratulations" Caitlin said which made Nora blush.

"What I don't understand?" Barry said.

"God you're so dumb sometimes" Caitlin mocked Barry.

"Look at their hands" Caitlin pointed at Ray and Nora's hands having matching rings as Barry finally understood it.

"Congrats Ray, I'm so happy for you both" Barry said and hugged him again.

"Hi Ray" Felicity walked in.

"Felicity!" He replied and hugged her.

"I'm sorry for Oliver" He continued but Felicity cut in.

"It's okay Ray. This isn't the moment to be sad. You need to be happy… with your wife" Felicity said smiling over Nora as she came and hugged her.

They all talked among each other for a while.

"So everything is going good with Legends?" Barry asked Sara.

"Yeah, but we will be missing one of our finest from now on" Sara said as the Barry, Caitlin and Felicity didn't understand.

"I decided to leave the legends" Ray spoke up as everyone just remained silent.

"I had my journey travelling across the time, now it's time to settle down. I made a promise to Damien that I will take care of Nora and give her a happy life" Ray said kissing Nora's hand.

"Damien's alive?" Caitlin asked.

"No, he came back from hell to meet us" Ray said which made Caitlin more confuse.

"Relax Caitlin, it's just another day for us" Sara said Laughing as everyone laughed back.

"So where are you planning to settle down?" Barry asked.

"No idea, we came here thinking we can crash here for a while until we figure out something" Nora spoke up.

"I mean, we need to find a job, a place and all, so can we stay here until then?" Ray asked.

"No you can't" Barry said which surprised everyone.

"You don't have to find a job" Barry said as Caitlin understood Barry's idea.

"I don't get it" Ray asked.

"Give me a second" Barry sped off and returned with Jessie who was working in her office.

"Barr! Little warning next time" Jessie groaned as he nodded.

"Ray!" Jessie said and hugged him.

After Jessie got updated with the news, Barry spoke...

"Ray, let me be honest with you. Jessie has been looking for a guy who is a scientist and someone who can run a business. So, we would like to offer you that position at our facility in Star City. Would you like that ?"

"Are you serious Barry?" Ray asked as his face lit up.

"Absolutely" Jessie spoke.

"I mean who else other than Ray Palmer is eligible? To be very honest, you deserve way more than what we are offering you" Jessie continued as Barry nodded in agreement.

"It's your choice Ray" Barry said.

"I would love to take that offer. Thank you so much" Ray stood and hugged Barry and Jessie

"Thank you.. both of you" Nora said.

"You did it Barry" Jessie said patting Barry's back.

"What did I tell you?" Barry asked.

"We did it" Jessie said as Barry nodded smiling.
