One of a lot of plot bunnies I had been planning and I've wanted to try Barry/Patty more.

It was another day for Detectives Joe West and Patty Spivot, the fresh graduate from academy as they and Captain David Singh saw the dead body outside the bank and Patty glared as she saw who was the suspect.

"Clyde Mardon." Patty sneered.

"Patty… easy." Joe said, holding her shoulder as Patty seethed, remembering that Clyde's brother mugged and murdered her father.

"Where's Allen?" Singh called out as Patty chuckled and on cue, Barry rushed in clumsily with his briefcase.

"CSI! CSI! Sorry I'm late, Captain Singh." Barry said.

"What was it this time, Mr. Allen?" Singh asked, annoyed. "Did you forget to set your alarm clock?" Barry was about to open his mouth as Singh continued. "Before you answer, I should remind you the excuse you gave last time was car trouble. Wanna remind why that one was particularly memorable?"

"I do not own a car." Barry said awkwardly as he flushed.

"It's my fault. I told him to run an errand for me." Patty said and Barry turned to her in surprise as she winked at him. "Barry. Did you get what I wanted you to?"

Barry nodded as he started to check his pockets. "Yeah. Yeah. I have it right… here." He pulled out a bar of chocolate. "I had… few bites of it."

Patty cleared her throat as she and Barry knelt down, examining the car tracks.

"I think the getaway car might be a Mustang." Patty noted.

"She's right." Barry said. "Shelby GT 500. Shelby's have rear super wide tires, specific to that model. 12 inches within. And there's something else."

"Wait, give me that." Patty picked a swab and took a sample from the ground and sniffed it. "Animal excrement."

"I think that should be Allen's expertise, not yours, Spivot." Singh noted dryly, although he didn't blame her for her enthusiasm.

Later, CCPD

"Barry, is it so hard to get a driver license?" Patty asked.

"I've been busy, I don't know what to tell you." Barry said and Patty shot him a look.

"How many times have we been over this? You were through a trauma. Your mind warped your memories." Patty said.

"I know what I saw, Patty." Barry said.

Patty sighed. Barry had believed that a mysterious man in yellow in a blur entered his house fourteen years ago and murdered his mother Nora and framed his father Henry for it, despite that Henry's fingerprints were found on the knife. He had been sentenced to life in Iron Heights and no one was able to convince Barry that he had been imagining it, not her, not his foster father Joe or psychiatrists.

Yet, she admired his enthusiasm and passion for science, just like her. She used to be a CSI, just like him but after her father's death, she got herself a field training with a gun and self-defense, becoming a detective, since she also wanted to chase down the Mardon brothers for mugging and killing her father but she still enjoyed helping Barry in the lab, whenever she had time.

"OK, I am ready to see this atom smasher smashing." Iris said, Joe's daughter and Barry's foster sister, with whom he had been growing up after his father's arrest.

"I know how much it means for you, so I'll cover for you, OK?" Patty said.

"Thanks." Barry said. "You're amazing."

Barry and Patty were a great team, whenever they worked together and whenever possible, despite that she had become a detective, she covered for him whenever she could.

"I don't think so. You're not done with the paperwork yet, Patty." Joe said upon entering.

"Hi, Dad." Iris said as the computer bleeped.

"The results." Patty said.

"I think the Mardon brothers are hiding on a farm." Barry explained. "The fecal matter I found on the street, it was cow manure, which contains traces of oxytetracyline."

"An antibiotic used in a specific area by the farmers." Patty explained. While she had not finished her studies as CSI because of her father's death, she was able to follow with most of Barry's explanations, unlike the rest of the detectives. "Any chances we might find that Shelby car there?"

"Here." Barry handed Joe the paper.

"Dad, seeing as how Barry solved the poop problem, how about letting him go to S.T.A.R. Labs?" Iris teased as Joe rolled his eyes.

"Fine, go." Joe said as Barry and Iris chuckled. Patty was about to pick her coat but Joe raised his hands. "Not you, Patty."

Patty stopped as she recognized the look in his eyes. "Joe. You need my help with finding Mardons—"

"I will handle it." Joe said.

"But—"

"No 'but', Patty. Singh insisted." Joe interrupted her as Barry and Iris recognized the tone he was talking with.

"Don't bother. When he talks like that, there's no way you're gonna win the argument." Barry said and Patty glowered as Joe left and Iris left too, deciding to wait as Barry turned to her. "I get you want to get Mardon, just like I want to find the man in yellow…" Patty shot him a look. "I'm just saying… Joe is trying to protect you."

Patty sighed and glowered. "Fine. Then I guess I'll spend the evening with paperwork."

Patty was at her desk, filing before she heard thunder and 'crash' above her head as she rushed up into Barry's lab.

"Barry. Barry!" Patty called out but as she entered, she gasped in shock as she saw Barry unconscious on the floor, the ceiling window broken as it rained into his lab.

"Barry!" Patty exclaimed, nearing him and measuring his pulse. She tried CPR for a few minutes before she panicked. "Help! I need a medic! Help!"

So, what do you guys think? Is it good? Is it bad? Should I continue?

Please review and let me know if you have been enjoying this.
