Barry was currently working on the press release for the new Star phones, since yes, Star Labs was getting into the smartphone market, as proven by both Apple and Google, that field was a gold mine and Star Labs had started working on products like that made money to help fund some of Star Labs more advanced research.

Anyways, as he worked in his office, his new assistant, since Eve had quit a few weeks ago, though for what reason he didn't know, but anyways, his new assistant, Maya, came on the PA system.

"Mr. Allen, your foster father and his partner are here to see you." Maya said, much to Barry's surprise.

"Send them in." Barry said as Joe and Eddie were shown into his office.

"Nice office." Joe said.

"You know there's such a thing as scheduling a meeting." Barry said as he got up from his desk.

"This way was faster, since we're not here for a meeting." Joe said.

"So, what brings you here?" Barry asked, trying to hide his initial surprise and relief at seeing Eddie again.

"Considering your wife is doing a story on it, I'm guessing you're aware of the recent tech heists that have been going on in the city?" Eddie asked.

"Yeah, why?" Barry asked, raising an eyebrow.

"Well, Star Labs does house some of the most advanced tech in the city." Joe said.

"And you want to use that to set a trap to lure these guys out so you can catch them." Barry said knowingly.

"I know we're asking a lot of you Barry, risking your company's technology like that, but we don't have a choice. We need to catch these guys." Eddie said.

"The only problem I have with this plan is how believable it would be." Barry said.

"What do you mean?" Joe asked.

"Every criminal in the city knows how tight Star Labs security is, they'd know it's a trap the minute they tried it." Barry said and Eddie and Joe both nodded, noticing that flaw in the plan.

"But, we do have a storage facility in the outskirts of the city. I'll talk to Cisco, see if there are any projects we can have transferred out there. But just to be clear, anything goes wrong, if any Star Labs property is stolen, any of my employees hurt because of this, I will hold CCPD liable." Barry said.

"Understood." Joe said, thankful that Barry was willing to play ball.

"Let us know the details." Eddie said as he prepared to leave.

"Joe, can you hang back for a minute." Barry asked and Joe nodded, signalling to Eddie to leave him be.

"So what's up?" Joe asked once the door was closed.

"Reverse Flash is back." Barry said, causing Joe to look shocked.

"What? I thought you said that prison you put him in was impossible to get out of." Joe demanded.

"And it was. Someone broke him out." Barry said.

"What? Who would do that?" Joe asked.

"A kryptonian who was powerful enough to put Kara in a coma for a few days." Barry said.

"What, and here I thought Kara and her cousin were the strongest people I'd ever meet." Joe said.

"From what we could gather, this Kryptonian, Reign, was genetically engineered to basically be a worldkiller. She freed Thawne so that she wouldn't have to deal with both me and Kara." Barry said.

"Damn, and how are you dealing with that?" Joe asked.

"I've already met him once. Last night Jesse went after him and she's still recovering and Thawne got away. I'll deal with him in time. But I beat him before and I'll do it again. He will pay for everything he's done." Barry said and Joe nodded.

"I'm surprised you're so calm about it." Joe said.

"My anger isn't going to help anyone right now. I'm saving it for when I meet Thawne again." Barry said and Joe nodded.

"Let us know when you get something." Joe said and Barry nodded.

"Will do." Barry agreed.
