Snowstorm - Another Time, Another Place
Since returning to Central City, Ronnie had kept a low profile. It pained him to not be with his old friends, he couldn't put them through the heartache of losing and finding him again. It didn't seem fair, especially when they had more than likely moved on with their lives at this point. He immersed himself into his work once again, putting in long, sleepless hours at the lab working on the new Magnetar project. Tonight was just like any other, except instead of returning right to his junky southside studio apartment after leaving at midnight, he took a detour through the park, planning a stop at Ferero's for a Sicilian slice. It seemed like a safe bet that late; that he wouldn't have to worry about running into anyone he knew from the past. Besides, he was starving, and he'd yet to treat himself to a piece since returning to Earth-1. He walked in and got his pizza at the counter, going unnoticed by the young, new girl at the register in his black framed glasses and button down shirt with a tie. Unlike Star Labs, Mercury had a more professional dress code. With a heavy sigh, he dropped into the last booth in the back corner - the same one he used to share with Caitlin. He closed his eyes, tears threatening to force themselves through his lashes he looked down at the lonely slice and the ring on his hand. He had everything; and in 3 years time, everything had been snatched right back. @drcaitlinxsnow
