flashpoint_heroesI'm gonna be a little late. Had to run into work on my day off for a bit.
The text was sent at around 5pm and it wasn't exactly a lie. It just had nothing to do with CCPD work. It had to do with stopping a train from derailing. And now he was waiting for a bruise over his left eye to heal before he could show up. Because it would be gone in 30 minutes max and if his bruise disappeared while he was having dinner with her it might seem suspicious.
He was just glad Caitlin and Harry had managed to create an anti venom for the chameleon's venom so quickly or he would have had to call off the date entirely. He still had no leads on who killed the chameleon or what went down in that bar. If he didn't know better, it had been Snart's Cold gun, but he was off with the Legends fixing time. Whatever had done it, made sure the Meta wouldn't get back up.
It was roughly 6:45 when he finally showed up at he place in a dress shirt and waistcoat with matching slacks. He had a bottle of wine in one arm and a bouquet of flowers in the other. He knocked on her apartment door, careful not to drop anything.

Don't worry, now that I know, nothing will ever get to you again during an eclipse." Because she absolutely wouldn't have told someone like Thawne that information, right?
Spoilers: She did.He didn't like the idea of her dying. Even if she came back. "You died?!" Okay, Barry, you've died too. Calm down.no subject
Date: 2025-08-31 02:07 pm (UTC)"I guess? No one's really looked into why it happens or how it works. Eclipses don't occur that often and we don't have like, a team of evolved human scientists to run testing every time there is one. The last time there was, I drove way out into a remote spot and just laid around in my bus. It was a lovely afternoon."
Fun fact: she didn't remember telling Thawne that, and even if she did, she wouldn't think there's anything he could do with that information. Invincible Brain strikes again. "Yeah... I did. I've died a lot, lost count how many times. Doesn't happen as often these days, though."
