"I present to you Girder" Caitlin and I walk in on Cisco showing of his new contraption. Barry once again has a surprised look on his face- honestly by now I was already used to all the surprises.

"Fighting is physics. It's not about strength. It's not about size. It's about energy and power. Channel your speed the right way and you can totally take this bad boy down" Cisco continues, and he gets the controller "let's give this bad boy a try" he adds. After a few clicks the robot comes to life, and Barry starts to fight it. All I could see was a red blur, but time seemed to slow down as I saw the robot arm come up for a punch.

"Barry! Watch the arm!" I exclaim, but he didn't notice it- and with a sickening crack- Barry's arm takes the full impact, and he falls to the floor.

"Are you okay?" I ask, as he rolls over

"I think I just dislocated my shoulder" he groans.

"How did you know that the arm was coming at him?" Cisco asks cautiously, but I could tell he was trying to pry.

"I have not idea" I begin, "everything just slowed down, and I saw Girder was going to punch Barry- so I yelled out" I pick up the mug, and I let it float.

"So you either slowed down time, or you just went really fast and noticed it." Cisco is typing things into his touch pad,

"well I mean, I don't even kno-" I see the tablet fall out of his hands in slow motion, and I surrounded with a shield and hovered it,

"uh- shot!" Cisco screams, and winces waiting to hear that dreaded crack when your precious technological device hits the ground. I bring hover it next to his head, and he is confused

"wait- it was- what in the world" he snatches the tablet out of the air, and starts tapping mysteriously,

"I've got lightning flash reflexes-" I stop in mid-sentence, and Cisco does to

"Dude- don't tell me that Barry some how managed to transfer powers" Cisco's face lights up like the Christmas tree in Central City Square. Before he's able to say something, Barry's scream shatters our conversation.

apartment. When I get there, I get the keys from under the flowerpot

"Quinn, haven't seen you in a while" a voice behind me exclaims, it's my annoying neighbor. I turn on my fake smile, and I turn around.

"Hey Victoria" I smile with teeth, is she going to tell me about a party again?, "I've been busy, I stayed at a friends house." She smiled back, her lip gloss were so shiny they looked plastic.

"Oh, that's cool" she said looking bored, "I just wanted to let you know that I'm having a party tonight- so it might get loud" I knew it - but when is it quiet next door? I smile and nod-

"okay, have a nic-" before I could finish my sentence she turns her back on me and walks back into her apartment. Good bye to you too I think, and I walk into my apartment.

I dumped by jacket on my chair, and sighed when I noticed the mess. I had clothes everywhere, my books all over the bed, the dishes were washed, but I had to get new groceries. I've been gone too long, I start to pick up the dirty clothes, and socks. After 4 hours, my books are nice and neat on the shelves, clean clothes folded, dirty clothes in the washing machine, bed made- first time in years, got new soap and shampoo along with new groceries, and I made a nice dinner- pasta with tomato sauce, with a side of mashed potatoes, and squash. I sit down on the island counter in the kitchen, and opened the newest edition of the Central City Science magazine. I was halfway through the article about stem cell research, before a call interrupts me.

"Hello" I try to sound pleasant, but it's hard to when someone interrupts your dinner

"Good evening Ms. Lan, this is the Central City Police Department" a deep male voice says "I hope I'm not interrupting anything"

"Nope, I was just having dinner" I reply trying to sound casual,

"I was just calling to reply to your job application" he says, and I loosen up

"Oh yeah- the assistant position for Crime Scene Investigation?" I ask, I hear he man nod,

"yes, infact we would love to have you on the team- your resume is absolutely outstanding" he chuckles honestly, who does that now? "Will you come work for us?" he asks

"Absolutely" I answer.
