Chapter 5

When Barry entered his new lab, he had to admit, he was glad he hadn't limited himself to being a CSI in this reality, since his current lab had a lot more toys than his lab at CCPD had and he could use his mind for things other than solving cases. He would miss the intel that being at CCPD had given him access to, but hopefully he could bring Joe around and he could provide on that end.

"Welcome back to the lab." Jay said as he entered his nephew's lab.

"Thanks. Man, it feels like forever since I've been here." Barry said, since this was the first time he'd ever been in this lab.

"It might as well have been. Anyways, I came here because Cisco is here. There's something I want to show both of you." Jay said and Barry nodded as he followed his uncle out of his lab.

"Man, this is a nice lab." Cisco said after Barry and Jay joined him in Jay's lab.

"Well, it's no Star Labs, but it does the trick." Jay said.

"Considering that your lab is still operational, I'd say that's a big plus over Star Labs." Cisco said.

"Anyways, since I know Cisco wants to help make Barry's suit, I thought I'd give him a basis line to start with." Jay said.

"My knowledge of what a speedster's suit will need, since I've worn one before, so I know what it requires." Jay said.

"Do you have your old suit here?" Cisco asked eagerly.

"Sorry, but no. Couldn't risk it being found here." Jay said.

"Wait, is that why you and Aunt Joan would never let me in the attic." Barry asked and before anyone could stop him, he sped out of the room and a moment later, returned with what looked like an exact copy of Jay's earth 3 flash suit, only with a cowl instead of the helmet, which Barry understood, since honestly, cowl worked better at identity concealment than a helmet did. Or at least the helmet that Jay had used before, since he had to admit that John's Spartan helmet had been both useful in concealing his identity, and it was kind of badass looking.

"Cool suit." Cisco said as he looked it over.

"I've got some ideas of my own for improvements." Barry said.

"Good, because I'm not letting you rip off my suit. I'm just letting you use it for inspiration to make yours." Jay said.

"So, what can you tell me I need to keep in mind." Cisco asked.

"It needs to have an aerodynamic design to help Barry stay in control while using his speed and it needs to be heat and abrasive resistant so that the heat and friction Barry produces while he's running doesn't destroy it." Jay said

"Hey check this out." Barry said as he grabbed a pen and a pad of paper and showing off his speed sketching.

"Cool." Cisco said as Barry finished.

"You think that's cool. What do you think of this suit design?" Barry asked as he showed Cisco the sketch he'd made of his old Flash suit.

"I think I'm in love." Cisco as he took a look at it.

"I was thinking that we'd take Jay's color scheme, make the suit a bright red, with the lightning being gold." Barry said.

"Great minds think alike. I'll start working on this back at Star Labs." Cisco said.

"I might also try to install my Gideon interface in the suit once I get it working." Barry said.

"This suit will be bitching." Cisco said and Barry smiled.

"Yes it will." Barry agreed as they high fived before Cisco walked out of the lab.

"This is an interesting design Barry." Jay said.

"Jay, what kid doesn't think about designing their own superhero costume when they're little. I just never stopped thinking about it as I grew up." Barry said and Jay smiled.

"Figured as much. Anyways, you going to see your dad today?" Jay asked.

"Yeah, after work." Barry said.

"I'm sure he'll be glad to see you up and moving." Jay said.

"Yeah, I can't wait to see him. Just wish it was under better conditions." Barry said.

"Barry, we will find proof to get your father out of prison. Especially now that you have your powers." Jay said.

"I know, but still." Barry said.

"You've waited 15 years Barry, I'm just asking you to wait a little longer." Jay said.

"I am. But only because even with my speed, I have no idea where to start." Barry said, even though that was a lie, since he knew exactly where he could get the confession he needed, but he couldn't just rush in without proof. Fortunately, he was already thinking of a plan for exactly that.
