Back at Le Grand Paris hotel.
Barry mingles with the guests.
He finishes a conversation with Alix.
Barry: …And hey, don't forget to tell Kim I'll join you guys on Friday for-
As he's walking away, he bumps into another guest. She wears a blue beanie, over her blonde hair.
(BUMP! OOF!)
Barry: Ugh, sorry about tha-
Female Guest: It's alright, I-
Barry and the guest look up to face each other.
The guest wears a faux leather jacket, over a white shirt and black pants. Her light blue eyes meet Barry's gaze.
Barry: You look familiar, have we met?
Female Guest: I can't say that we have.
I arrived here, in Paris, a few days ago.
Barry: What's your name?
Before the girl can answer, Chloe walks up, enthusiastically.
Chloe: Barry, there you are! I see you've met my sister, Zoe.
She wraps her arms around the girl.
Barry becomes shocked.
Barry: I didn't know you had a sister!
Zoe: Well, half-sister, actually. Same mother, different father.
Chloe: It doesn't matter, I still think you're just as good as a real sister.
Chloe's butler walks up.
Butler Jean: Mademoiselle Chloe, an urgent phone call for you.
Chloe: Who is it?
He whispers it to Chloe.
Her eyes go wide.
Chloe: I'll handle it.
She turns back to Barry and Zoe.
Chloe: Sorry, guys. I'll have to take this.
Barry: It's all good, Chloe.
Chloe smiles and walks off.
Zoe turns to Barry.
Zoe: You know, it's funny.
I actually came here under the impression that my sister would be conceited and snobbish.
But, to my surprise, she actually welcomed me with open arms. She was nothing like my mother.
Barry: Well, everyone says that I have had a positive influence on Chloe, recently.
But, I seriously need to stop bumping into people to make friends. Especially if they're related to Chloe.
They both share a laugh at his statement.
Zoe: Well, I can't thank you enough. You did the one thing nobody else could. You made my sister a better person.
She gives Barry a hug.
Surprised by this, Barry accepts the hug.
Just then, Lila walks up.
Lila: Barry, I think I'm ready to head home now.
Barry: Alright, Lila.
Barry: It's been nice meeting you, Zoe. Hope I'll see you around, sometime.
Zoe: Same.
She shakes his hand, and walks off.
Barry: Okay, let's go.
The head to the door.
Barry: By the way, I don't suppose you saw where Adrien went, did you?
Lila: Yeah, I did, actually.
I saw him and Nino meet up with Alya, near the girls restroom. But I couldn't make out what they were saying.
Barry: Think it might have something to do with Marinette?
Lila: Possibly. But, I'm exhausted, I just want to head back home, and relax.
Barry: If you insist.
They walk out, and head to the elevator.
