Chapter Text
Charlotte was walking to S.T.A.R Labs as she always did. She usually walked with Barry but he was with Iris, meaning he would be late. Charlotte was a little jealous. She has always been jealous of Iris. She was pretty, smart and funny. Charlotte was smart but she was nothing compared to Iris.
“No wonder Barry liked her.” Charlotte thought as she walked into STAR LABS.
She sat down waiting around for Caitlin or Cisco to walk in. She liked talking to Caitlin and Cisco as they shared interests with Charlotte. Dr. Wells soon entered the room and looked around.
“Where’s Barry?” Wells asked, stopping right in front of Cisco.
“He hasn’t showed up yet.” Caitlin replied.
“He’s hanging out with Iris.” Charlotte said with a little hint of hatred in her voice.
“Guess we have to wait for him…again.” Wells sighed and went over to look at something.
She was about to ask Caitlin about the training her and Barry would have to do when Barry walked in. Barry was the last one to show. As usual.
“You’re finally here Allen.” Dr. Wells rolled over to him
“Yea sorry about that. I was hanging out with Iris and I lost track of time.” Barry explained.
“You can hang out with your girlfriend whenever you want as long as it doesn't intervene with your training.” Wells said, rolling away.
“She’s not my- whatever. What are we doing today Caitlin?” Barry smiled and looked at Caitlin.
“We are going to test your reflexes by throwing objects at you. As time goes on the objects will start to get bigger. Let’s see if you can dodge all of them.”
Barry and Charlotte nodded and got in position. They stood right next to each other as Caitlin and Cisco threw things at the duo. Caitlin was trying not to throw objects that were too heavy just in case Barry or Charlotte didn’t dodge. Charlotte went to dodge a stapler that Cisco had thrown but instead ran into Barry, the stapler hitting her in the arm causing her to fall down.
“Ow!” Charlotte said, holding her arm.
“Don’t worry. Your cells will heal soon and the pain will be gone.” Caitlin said with a sorry look.
“Sorry. Didn’t mean to actually hit you dude.” Cisco apologized.
“You ok? You ran into me pretty hard.” Barry chuckled lightly as he helped her up onto her feet.
“I’m fine Barry. Thanks.” Charlotte smiled and went to sit down.
“Looks like we still have stuff to work on.” Dr. Wells said, looking at Charlotte.
“Crap. Barry look at the time. We have to go. See ya guys later.”
“Woah! Where are you guys going? We still have training to do.” Caitlin replied before the two could even leave.
“Our day job calls for us.” Barry said, smiling and grabbing his coat.
“And the chief is gonna have our ass if we’re late again.” Charlotte smiled and the two sped out of S.T.A.R Labs towards the station.
