01: kie hasn't managed just yet but one day, she swears, she'll get barry, cisco, iris and caitlin to make a silly little dance video with her through the halls of star labs like she did with wally and jesse, set specifically to the instrumental version of this beyonce and bruno mars medley or something else akin to it. joe and cecile can tape it.
02: the subplots that i see barry and kie being involved in, specifically, have to do with minor characters that i may or may not have taken from smallville and relocated to central city aka jesse watts, coldfront and randy klein, shadow killer. the deceased mary pierson, aka lamprey, also gets brought up a lot.
03: speaking of kie and barry: sparring sessions are, indeed, a thing. think oliver and barry in s1. except without the arrows. or the sneaky shots thereafter.
04: barry is more of a science-whiz than kie is so she'll ask him for school related help. that also grows into barry offering his know-how for kie's ice skating shenanigans.
05: that thing between bea da costa and tora olafsdottir (potentially) being / getting married? it is both a running gag and something that pays off because team star labs will get an invitation to their wedding in season nine, thank you, and when that invitation falls on the mat, kie will be running as fast as she can to tell barry about it.
06: kie has made it her personal mission to acquire golden gliders' old skates. barry was the first one she told about this self-appointed mission.
07: when barry (as well as the team) finally meet kie's friends (who also double as her would-be superhero team, let's be real here) it feels as though he already knows them because kie is actually incapable of not talking about them, ever.
08: kie has made it a habit to buy barry a killer frost drink or the drink that is named after himself from cc jitters. she knows he said she has no need for bribery, it's just a little something to showcase her eternal appreciation for him.
09: "how many killer frosts have you had?" / "five!" / "yeah, okay, kie, that's enough of that."
10: barry is basically the older brother kie never had.
