Chapter 57
"Hey Bar, you okay?" Joe asked Barry as he saw him head towards Captain Singh's office.
"Yeah Joe, it's just, it's time." Barry said and Joe knew what that meant.
"You're finally quitting the CCPD?" Joe asked.
"Yeah, I mean Star labs is going to be ready to reopen in a few weeks, I can't really keep this job, besides, I feel like I've done what I became a CSI to do." Barry said.
"What?" Joe asked.
"Joe, I became a CSI to get my dad out of prison. I've done that. Now I think it's time I move forward with my life. And I mean, don't get me wrong, I'll always be grateful for everything the CCPD have done for me, but I think this is what I was always meant to do." Barry said.
"I get that Barry. I really do. But I am gonna miss working with you." Joe said and Barry smiled.
"Don't worry. We'll still see each other plenty." Barry assured him.
"Good." Joe said as Barry headed in to talk with Captain Singh.
That night, Barry crashed on the couch with Kara in their apartment as they'd finally finished getting Barry all moved in to Kara's loft.
"So, you're officially resigned from the CCPD and unemployed." Kara said.
"It's just for a few weeks while we finish getting Star Labs ready for the big reveal. Thanks again for helping me write my speech." Barry said.
"You mean writing your speech for you?" Kara asked with a smile.
"Very funny Kara." Barry said.
"I'm sorry Barry, but I couldn't resist. I just hope that we can get the public to trust in Star Labs again, since you are not mooching off me for money." Kara said and Barry smiled.
"Relax, I won't, though if I had to, it's not like you'd be running low on it, considering you're going to be the next Cat Grant." Barry said.
"Stop it. Honestly, I'm still trying to convince myself that was real. But honestly, if Cat was going to pick a successor, I thought it would've been James, since she picked him to run Catco originally. I wonder why she picked me this time." Kara said.
"Because you've got the talent and this time she actually has time to teach you everything you need to know. Though I do have one request." Barry said.
"And that is?" Kara asked, raising an eyebrow.
"When you do takeover Catco, promise me you won't take on Cat's attitude. I mean I only met her once originally and I still can't believe you were ever able tolerate her." Barry said.
"She can surprise people. I mean, she surprised me when she told me that she knew I was Supergirl and you were the Flash." Kara said, since the first thing she'd done after that meeting with Cat was call Barry to let him know. She'd let Clark know when he and Lois got back from their honeymoon.
"But still Kara." Barry said.
"Don't worry. I plan on being my own kind of boss when I take over, though there will be a few things I will take from Cat, but hopefully that day is still a while away, since I still have a lot to learn." Kara said and Barry nodded.
"Well, one of the benefits of your alien brain is that you're a quick study." Barry said and Kara laughed.
"Very funny Barry. But seriously, I'm the one who gets to make those jokes about you, since you're the speedster." Kara said.
"And you're an alien with super speed." Barry pointed out.
"Shut up." Kara said with a smile as she began kissing him and Barry smiled as he began kissing her back.
Of course, like almost always, before they could get too far into it, their phones rang.
"Oh come on. Does Cisco have some sort of camera in here that tells him when we're having a moment so he can ruin it, or does he just vibe it?" Kara complained and Barry couldn't help but agree as he answered the phone, fully intending to tell Cisco to call him back with whatever it was tomorrow.
"Listen Cisco, like usual, this is not a good time." Barry said.
"I figured as much, but Barry, we have a serious problem." Cisco said.
"Can't it wait until tomorrow?" Barry asked.
"I wish it could. But this problem is of a gorilla variety." Cisco said and Barry straightened up immediately.
"You sure?" Barry asked.
"Positive. He's back Barry and we both know who he'll go after." Cisco said.
"Okay we're on our way." Barry said.
"Seriously?" Kara asked.
"Normally I'd tell Cisco to wait until tomorrow, but this is a special case. One of my greatest enemies is back." Barry said.
"Which one?" Kara asked.
"Gorilla Grodd." Barry said.
