Because one day I will play an OC with Chloe Bennet's face. Or Daisy. We just don't know. ANYWAY - we will comment with characters and requests. Surprises are a-okay. Shenanigans shall ensue.

READY SET GO!

"Hey, there is more to Chicago than just their pizza," Barry smirks as he leads the way to a booth and slides in across from her. "They're known for their hot dogs too."

[demonstrate]

Iris rests her elbows on the table and leans forward.

"You realize all your selling points on Chicago so far have been food, right?" she asks. She doesn't even know why he's surprised. Barry has to consume roughly the equivalent of eight hundred tacos a day or something.

[supertardiness]

He smirks a bit at that as he leans forward to match her. "You realize that without Cisco here to make me my high-cal protein bars, I'm surprised I haven't eaten Chicago out of house and home yet? I'm either using my speed to fight rift monsters, or eating."

[demonstrate]

Her grin widens when he mirrors her stance and leans forward, catching sight of that cute smile. You're so cute, Barry. A frown sets in shortly after. Without Cisco, without Caitlin, without Wells ... "How have you been okay? There has to be an equivalent here to those protein bars, right? This place is crazy."

[supertardiness]

He gives a small shrug. "I eat a lot of fast food. It's not the healthiest option, but it does the trick. And I've been working on trying to reverse engineer it, but ... I'm not Cisco. If I ever do figure it out, it's going to take me a while. Mostly I'm just being careful and trying not to work myself into hypoglycemia."

[demonstrate]

"Good. If you ever did work yourself into hypoglycemia, I think Caitlin would find a way in here to yell at you," Iris says, though the fondness in her voice is unmistakable as she squeezes his hand. "After I'm done with you."

Of course.

[supertardiness]

Of course. And that makes him laugh, in a bittersweet sort of way. He misses Caitlin and Cisco fiercely, in a way that makes him regret he was so stupid to think he could just fix things the way he wanted them and that the speedforce wouldn't catch up with him somehow.

"If there's anything Caitlin would defy the laws of time and space for, it's definitely to yell at me."
