This version of Barry Allen has, essentially, completely taken over the Star Labs TV room. The walls, the coffee table, the windows and even the television are completely covered in these strange symbols resembling pictographs and other such things. Barry is, at this moment, sitting on the floor and drawing on it with that ever present chalk marker.

On top of the television, a pile of ice cream bar sticks and wrappers. Apparently he has been eating something, at least.

"Every runner stops running." Drawing a circle on the tv set. "I doubt you got where you are by being complacent."

"I got where I was before I showed up here because a fire took my house." She says it like it's nothing, but it's still really fresh in her head and her heart.

He makes a face, shaking his head. "Ronnie isn't like that."

"I dunno a Ronnie," She shrugs, "but it's good to know he's not like that."

"He saved all of us."

She smiles a little, "Sounds like a good guy, then."

"He saved all of us," he repeats. Draws a swirl next to the previous mark on the tv set.

"How'd he do it?" she asks, watching as he draws more things she doesn't understand.

"Fly into the sky. No birds, no planes, no supermen."

She leans back on her arms and gives a bit of a facial shrug. "Never heard of flying people before." There's a beat and she relents, "I mean, except in movies."

"Central City is home to the Flash, Kid Flash and Firestorm."

"I don't know who they are." She's sensing a theme, here, Barry. "But those sound like superhero names." Which is either really cool or really lame, and she can't decide which.

Honestly, he's just going to laugh a little. She's not WRONG, is she? "Everything happens."

"Yeah, I guess it does, huh?" Even more than she ever could have pictured, really. Dying. Being suddenly not-dead. Time travel. It's all enough to do her head in, once she has a few minutes alone again.

"Everything will be okay." This is more said to himself, than anyone else.

"I hope so." She admits with a little bit of a sag in her shoulders. She's not sure about it all just yet.
