At this moment, Barry decided there was nothing more amusing than a frantic Captain Singh. He started the day out by thinking that it was going to be another boring day in Central City, but watching Singh looking so troubled made him realize that this day may not be as boring as he originally assumed.
Barry chuckled as he leaned back on a random desk placed in the center of the precinct. Taking a sip of his coffee (which at this point was more Courvoisier then anything), he watched the Captain walk back and forth the lobby nervously, pulling at his fingers, and running his hand through his hair. Singh was always so meticulous about his appearance and he was always calm and collected. To see him this worried amused Barry, and he relished this sight, since he knew he was most likely not going to see his boss this bad ever again. It was times like this when Barry remembered just how little he gets to enjoy the Sebastian part of his personality. Though laughing at his Boss's troubles definitely counted as a Sebastian trait.
He missed the carefree attitude that came with being Sebastian. Once that smirk is plastered on his face, all traces of his conscious are thrown out of the window. In a way, watching his Boss fret with worry reminded Barry of his devious alter ego, that he tended to miss.
After a few more minutes of watching this comical scene, Barry decided that he has had enough amusement at his Captains expense for one day, and approached him.
"Hey Captain? Something troubling you?" Barry asked, attempting to stifle his laughter.
"What do you want Allen?" Singh asked, obviously not in the mood to speak to the always late, yet admittedly genius CSI.
"Just wanted to make sure you were OK Boss, you seem a little, dare I say, nervous." Barry replied, hiding his "Sebastian smirk" by taking a sip of his coffee.
Singh just sighed before revealing, "Well, you know my fiancé Rob right?" At Barry's nod, he continued, "Well, even though I met the majority of his family, I never met his sister. Even though I know they are extremely close, she's never in the country. She's a model, so she's always traveling around Europe for photo shoots. She's coming to town today, and she and Rob are supposed to be here soon so we can have lunch together. I guess I'm a little nervous."
"Don't be. Rob's an amazing guy, who obviously loves you, and if his sister is anything like him, she'll love you to." Barry reassured with a smile on his face. However inwardly, his smirk was firmly in place. He couldn't help but note the difference between him now, and him in high school. If he were still Sebastian, he would probably twist his words to make him sound sincere, but would really just end up making Singh feel even worse.
Singh visibly relaxed at Barry words, "Huh, thanks Allen, that's actually pretty good advice. You know I was really questioning my niece's sanity when it was revealed that she dated you, now at least I know that you're not a total moron."
Barry laughed good naturedly as he remembered his reunion with Nicki. "You're still hung up on that, huh?"
Singh just chuckled in response, however as he glanced at the entrance door to the precinct, he once again stiffened. Barry followed his gaze and watched as two very familiar people entered.
One was a man of average height wearing a suit, which Barry immediately recognized as Rob, Singh's fiancé. Walking next to him was a gorgeous woman, her blond hair flowing over her shoulders. She was meticulously dressed in the latest fashion, and her heels could be heard from the other side of the building. She looked around Barry's age, and it was obvious to anyone watching that she was most definitely a model.
"Hello Rob. And you must be Isabel, it's great to finally meet you." Singh said, as he shook his future sister-in-laws hand.
"It's lovely to meet you to David, I've really been looking forward to this. My big brother just won't shut up about you." Isabel replied with a smile.
"Are you going to introduce us David?" Rob questioned, obviously referring to Barry.
Realizing that Barry was indeed still next to him, he was about to begin introductions, before he was interrupted by Isabel, "Sebastian, looking as dashing as ever."
With his signature smirk plastered on his face, he raised Isabel's hand to his lip where he placed a gentle kiss, "And you are as beautiful as ever Izzy."
"Wait a minute, you two know each other?" Rob questioned.
"You can say that." Isabel answered questionably.
"Did you just call him Sebastian?" Singh asked, perplexed.
"That's my middle name. It's what I went by at that time." Barry explained vaguely. Singh still looked skeptical, but he accepted Barry's answer.
"Can someone explain to me who the heck you are?" Rob exclaimed. It was then that Barry remembered that the only time he actually met Rob, was during the alternate timeline, when Singh was in the hospital dying.
"Right, I'm sorry. Bartholomew Sebastian Smythe Allen, but I prefer going by Barry." Barry stated, introducing himself to Rob.
"Oh, you're the CSI right? So, how is it that you two know each other?" Rob asked, still wondering how they knew each other.
"We knew each other back during my college days." Barry replied.
"I'm guessing the two of you were a little more then friends?" Rob guessed.
"Trust me brother, you do not want to know." Isabel warned with a flirtatious smile directed towards Barry.
Singh sighed in frustration, "Why is it that you always seem to have some sort of Romantic entanglement with every beautiful girl I happen to be related to?"
Barry laughed in response, "It's a gift."
"As much as I hate to cut this reunion short, we must get going to lunch, or we'll be late." Rob reminded them.
"Can you come with us Sebby? Please?" Isabel begged her old friend. She was obviously looking forward to catching up with him.
"Only if it's not a problem with the rest of you." Barry stated.
"It's ok with me. I for one want to know more of how it is exactly that you met my precious sister." Rob announced.
With a final frustrated sigh, Singh answered, "Fine, you can come to lunch with us. But this better to hell be the last time I find out that you slept with one of my current, and or future relatives."
"No promises." Barry muttered under his breath, before following the rest of them out of the precinct. He was well aware of his womanizing ways, so while the fact that he bedded two of Singh's relatives was quite a coincidence, he wasn't exactly too surprised.
By the time they reached the restaurant and ordered their food, both Singh and Rob were quite interested to know how it is that Barry and Isabel met. The two of them were sitting next to each other, occasionally sending each other little smiles, and flirtatious winks.
"It's actually quite the amusing story." Isabel admitted with a smile.
"Well, feel free to tell me how my clumsy CSI managed to become the center of attention during an introductory lunch with my future sister-in-law." Singh muttered.
"Feeling bitter over there Captain?" Barry teased with his usual smirk.
"Just shut up and tell us the story." Singh demanded.
Barry laughed once more at Singh's irritation. He really was enjoying his Boss's frustration, especially now that he was the cause of it.
"It all began one summer in Paris…"
