"So why did you agree to have a Halloween party at STAR Labs then?" Barry asked while fixing the breastplate of his outfit. After being told by Cisco about this party he had panicked and bought the first fancy dress outfit he had come across which had turned out to be a 'Hercules' costume. He was wearing ancient-style armour and sandals which criss-crossed halfway up his legs. He was also carrying a shield.
"Why not." Wells replied. "Before the accident at STAR Labs we were notorious for throwing an excellent party every now and then. Now seemed like a good time to bring that tradition back." Since discovering that Wells was a closeted Back To The Future fan, Cisco had been determined to create him a great themed costume. It had taken Cisco a month but he had successfully managed to create a mini-delorean car which would double as a wheelchair for his boss so he could dress as Doc Brown. They had been nervous about giving Wells the new wheelchair but he had broken into a huge grin at the first sight of it and told Cisco to expect a payrise within the month.
Barry glanced over at Cisco who was fiddling about with his costume. He had chosen to dress as a Ghostbuster. "How's the proton pack coming along?" He called out before laughing.
"I'm still trying to work out the physics to create an ACTUAL proton pack but this prop one will need to do for the moment." Cisco stood up properly and continued. "But how does it look overall? I created the entire thing from scratch, this fabric is similar to the one I sued for your suit but much thinner and looser."
"It looks great Cisco." Caitlin soothed as she entered the room. She was wearing an old-fashioned light blue dress with a slight petticoat. Her hair was tucked behind the small cap she wore on her head and her hair was slightly curled as it trailed down her back. She also carried a lamp in one hand. Wells smiled at her.
"Very appropriate Dr Snow." He laughed.
"Thank you." She blushed. "Your costume is also amazing Dr Wells, Cisco has done a really good job with it." She took in Barry's full costume. "Always got to be the hero Barry. Did you choose that yourself? It's really nice." She smiled as he struck a classic muscular pose.
"I like your outfit too Caitlin. But who are you supposed to be exactly?" Barry asked with a look of mild confusion.
"I'm Florence Nightingale." She replied and lifted up the lamp. "The famous nurse. The 'Lady With The Lamp'. I figured since I spent so much time patching you up after your various fights that I as well dress like a damn nurse."
"Not the kind of nurses outfit i'd imagine you in Caitlin." Cisco laughed before turning pink. "Not that i'd imagined you in a nurse outfits before. Or anything like that. I've thought of you in nothing. Well not nothing like 'naked' nothing. I'm always very respectful to you in my thoughts." He rambled.
Wells sighed. "Moving on from that awkward exchange. I think it's time we go and begin setting up the main hall. What time are Miss West and Detective Thawne due to arrive?" He directed at Barry.
"I know they have a couples costume planned and Eddie let slip that they were dressing as Bonnie and Clyde. But I think they're due to arrive at about 9." Barry replied.
"Excellent." Wells spoke while adjusting his white 'Doc Brown' wig. "Let's go and open the doors for tonights festivities."
