Flash-Cooperation

How often do you think about your friends coming into your life?

Was it random? By design? Or maybe a little of both?

Regardless of the reason, some friends you just know are going to be by your side for a while.

Others, you're not so sure.

And then there's that one friend..

Who, well, you hope someday becomes something more.

But friend will have to do for now.

And that's okay, I guess.

"I'm glad you invited Caitlin, Cisco and Mariana."

Iris neared Barry at the bar as he smiled and raised a brow.

"They're cool, right?"

"They saved your life, Barry. That makes them the coolest people I've ever met. It's nice that you guys became friends."

Iris and Barry both grabbed a shot and clinked glasses.

"To friends. Old and new."

They both drowned their shots as Iris shook her head, the alcohol starting to affect her.

"Ooh. I'm up. Wish me luck!"

Walking over to the dart board, Iris smiled at Caitlin and Cisco.

Barry walked over to his three 'companions' with a tray full of shot glasses.

"Guys, I have a problem."

Cisco quickly responded, without looking at Barry, "We all do when guys like him exist."

"Yeah.." Caitlin breathed out, looking at Eddie Thawne, "He's so hot."

Mariana cleared her throat as Caitlin came to her senses.

"I mean, genetically speaking, of course. Because I'm a geneticist, of course. Oh my god, do I sound like Felicity?"

"Barry?"

Mariana grabbed everyone's attention as Barry explained his 'problem.'

"I'm not talking about Eddie, okay? I'm talking about this."

Barry drowned all the shots on his tray in 2 seconds.

"I can't feel anything."

"Yeah, that's usually what happens when you drink too much."

Caitlin chuckled as Barry explained.

"No. The alcohol is not affecting me. I literally, feel nothing."

"It's your hyper metabolism. I need a sample."

Mariana got up from her chair and circled the table.

"I'll get more shots."
