Barry walked towards STAR Labs, still thinking about his new partner. Despite only knowing her for about five minutes, she interested him. She was pretty enough, he supposed. Not Iris pretty, but a close second.
He arrived at STAR Labs only to be ushered into a van and driven to an abandoned airstrip. Before he could climb out, Dr. Wells turned him. "Now Barry, there will be one other person here. She owns the airstrip. We've sworn her to secrecy, so you will be safe."
Barry nodded. Cisco hands him a red leotard thing and grins. "Go into the trailer and change into this. It's more streamlined than your clothes and we can monitor you while you're running."
Hayley POV
Personally, Hayley wondered why she even wanted to come. Standing around at an abandoned airstrip she owned(in her defence, it was totally an impulse buy), she waited for Barry to come out of the trailer.
Cisco knocks on the trailer. "How's it fit?" he asks. The door opens and Barry steps out. Hayley bites her lip and tries to contain her laughter. "It's a bit snug." Barry comments. Cisco claps him on the back. "Well luckily you'll be running so fast no one will be able to see you." He gives Cisco a doubtful look. "Ok." Hayley grins at him. "Don't worry, Mr. Allen. I won't take pictures of you." Barry smiles at the sound of her slight Australian accent. "I don't believe you for one second, Ms. Quinn."
3rd person
As Cisco readied Barry, the others stood back waiting. "You don't really believe he can run that fast, do you?" Caitlin asked. Harrison Wells looked up at her. "I believe we're about to find out." he answered. Caitlin looked to Hayley. The girl didn't face her as she answered,"I do believe him." Caitlin turned as if ask for an explanation. Hayley sighed. "I guess Starling really made me believe anything is possible. Pampered billionaires can survive 5 years alone on an abandoned island with no supplies. Vigilantes can be better than police. Barry can run at the speed of light. You know?"
Her companions faces suggested otherwise. "You're a very open minded person." Dr. Wells remarked. Hayley smiled grimly.
"I've had to be."she answered.
The conversation stopped as Barry got into position. At Cisco's mark, he took off flying down the track. The three scientists watched in amazement, Caitlin keeping an eye on his vitals. But Hayley just stood there, thinking over whether or not Barry would accept her telling them of her ability. I should let him have this.she mused. I'll tell them if and when it's necessary. Barry needs this. Her thoughts are cut off when Barry slams into the barrels at the end of the track. She shook her head, trudging toward the van to ride back to STAR Labs.
