It's been a week since we defeated Multiplex and the other Multiplexes he made from his own body, but we have really come together as a team. Cisco makes the gadgets, Caitlin barks orders at Barry when he needs the help and I am his personal physician as I tend to all his wounds he nicknames me "his own personal nurse". It was late and we all thought we would stay just in case something pops up that The Flash needs to go help out.

Cisco and I were lounging around on the main desks bored out of our mind as we waited for alert to ring through. I was currently playing Crossy Road on my phone and was trying to beat my new high record well actually Cisco's high record of 200.

"Ugh this game is stupid!" I groan in frustration, throwing my hands up in the air which makes Cisco laugh at me.

"You just say it's stupid because you suck at it." He giggles which makes me send a deathly glare his way.

"Shut up, I'm mastering it." I say before starting up a new game before an alert rings through which makes us sit up.

"Quick, call Barry!" I command which Cisco dials Barry's number and he picks up on the second ring.

"Hello." He answers.

"Code two- thirty seven on Wade Boulevard." Cisco says as he reads off the screen.

"Public indecency?" Barry asks which makes Cisco think over his police codes.

"Wait I think I meant a two-thirty nine." He corrects himself.

"Dog leash violation?" Barry asks.

I sigh and take the microphone off Cisco. "Bad man with a gun in a getaway car. Go Flash!" I exclaim which will probably send him off running.

We see the police alert stop as the man has been caught which we all know was Barry. We all smile in satisfaction as Barry has done it again; I stand up grabbing my coat and bag. "It's late and my boyfriend is waiting for me which am in fact my bed." I joke which makes Cisco laugh at me as I wave goodbye to my friends as I walk out of Star Labs to my car.

As I arrive in the cortex with a coffee in my hand I am greeted by Barry and Detective. "Detective and Barry, what brings you here?" I ask them as I dump my bag and coat on the nearby chair.

"We are here to ask you if a metahuman can control poisonous gas as a crime family was killed last night by gas." Barry explains which makes me raise an eyebrow at him. Dr Wells, Cisco and Caitlin are already researching and seeing if this metahuman can actually control poisonous gas.

"Fascinating, a metahuman that can manipulate poisonous gas." Dr Wells states, with wonder in his eyes.

"Is it gas, or is it all aerated substances?" Cisco asks.

"And how is he able to formulate the connection?" Caitlin asks. "Is it physiological, or psychological?"

"This metahuman can create a mental nexus using only gas substances." I inform them with a smile on my face.

Cisco's eyes widen. "You mean connect with gases on a molecular level?" Cisco asks which makes me nod.

"That is ridiculously cool!"

"They get really excited about this stuff." Barry trailed off as he sees the odd look that Detective West was giving them.

"The only thing I'm excited about is putting criminals behind bars, except Iron Heights isn't exactly equipped to handle metahumans." Detective West states.
