Hello everyone. Sorry to inform all of you, but this is not an update. More of a sneak peek. I haven't gotten to where I want to be yet, so I'll be taking the next week to continue working, but I decided not to leave you all in the dark so much so I've decided to give you little pieces of what I think are some of the best scenes I've produced for season 2, but you be the judge of that.

"I tried to! If I could have, I would have saved him," Barry protested.
"But you didn't!" Caitlin yelled. "You make us think we can trust you to do something and you just let us down when it matters,"
"The people of Central City just want a chance to thank the hero that saved them," Cisco tried to convince him.
"Well they can't do that because that's not me. I'm the one that endangered them in the first place and let other people pay for my mistake," Barry said.
"That's not you Barry. Sure you made a mistake, but you're human. You're allowed to make mistakes, and you did everything in your power to fix your mistakes. You saved a lot of people," Cisco called out to him.
"But not the people that matter. I couldn't save them Cisco," Barry referred to their fallen friends.
"You can't save everyone Barry. That's just part of being a hero. Sometimes one needs to be sacrificed for the good of others," Cisco tried to comfort him.
"Well that one should have been me," Barry shook his head.
"I am not a hero," Barry stated. "That's not what I set out to become. That is who you have made me out to be. I didn't do this for fame or glory, but I hope I can become the hero you all deserve. Being a hero is about doing what's right just because it's right. By putting other people before yourself no matter what. It's about making a difference. That's what I strive to be,"
"So I've been moonlighting as a hero. There's your answer. Don't let the door hit you on the way out," Caitlin pointed to the door Barry entered.
"I think it's great that you decided to use your powers to help other people," Barry voiced his opinion.
"Well if I wanted your opinion, I would have asked for it. I'm not trying to be a hero with the entire world looking at me. That's why I've stayed in the shadows," Caitlin said.
"You know, between you and me, I wish I had my secrecy back, before people knew about The Flash," Barry pointed out.
"Oh boo hoo. The poor superhero doesn't want fame and glory and people screaming their name everywhere they go," Caitlin said sarcastically.
"Well, it is nice to be appreciated, but apparently I'm just an arrogant jerk whose ego is being fuelled by having their own holiday." Barry referenced what she said to Cisco.
"In celebration of change I've added a little something to the suit," Cisco said when he returned. Lighting up the closet revealed the Flash suit, but with a little difference. Before, the background of the lightning bolt on the symbol was red, just like the rest of the suit. But now it has changed into something familiar. The background was white just like they saw in the newspaper and when Barry saw his future self.
"It's just like the one in the future newspaper. I figured, we don't need to fear the future," Cisco explained.
"That's really nice Cisco. In fact I had the same thoughts which is why-" Barry started to say.
"You're finally asking Cait out on a date?" Cisco interrupted him, remembering Gideon saying the duo were married in the future.
"Behind my brother's back?" Iris shouted at her.
"What are you talking about?" Caitlin asked, confused at what Iris was getting at.
"You, and this Jay guy," Iris pointed at the two. "That isn't supposed to happen. You are Barry are supposed to fall in love and get married and give me a couple nieces and nephews,"
"You are looking way too far into the future," Caitlin waved her off.
"So you admit it's going to happen," Iris stated, confidently.
"No, Barry and I are never going to happen. I don't know why everyone thinks we are, but we aren't," Caitlin firmly stated. "Let me make this clear, Barry Allen is the most arrogant, self-righteous man that believes he is the answer to the whole entire universe. The day I even consider being romantically attracted to him, is right next to the month of 'Never Going to Happen,' and the week before 'Pigs Fly,'"
"He won't leave his cell, not unless I need him to," Caitlin said. "While you're there can you get me a-"
"A medium vanilla latte with no milk," Barry said.
"No, that's my Monday order. Today I get-"
"A large cappuccino, no foam. Right," Barry corrected himself, as both he and Cisco made their way out of STAR Labs.
Caitlin just glared at the barista. "I swear if you are about to say the man behind me is my significant other, I will scream,"
The barista blinked once. Twice. Thrice. Her mouth opened. "He's not?"
"Ughhh!" Caitlin groaned. She tilted her head back and squeezed her eyes in frustration. "Why does everyone keep thinking that?"
"Maybe it's because it's so obvious you two should be together,"
"In case you haven't noticed he seems pretty occupied with his pretty little blonde over there so obviously he's not interested in me," Caitlin said as she was forced to stay for the rest of her order to arrive.
"Do you want him to be?" the barista, Hillary, asked.
"I don't care. He can like whoever he wants. I'm not going to stand in the way of his good time," Caitlin said, a little more anger in her tone than she meant.
"What if his idea of a good time is spending it with you?" Hillary asked.
Caitlin just scoffed at the idea of Barry actually wanting to spend time with her and vice versa. "Please, now I know you are delusional to think that,"
"Well, this is just my opinion, but I think he really likes you," Hillary said as she dropped off the last of Caitlin's orders on the counter.
Is everybody excited? I know I am, and I promise 'I Hate You, I Guess That's Love' will return next week on Friday May 22.
