restless hearts // speedxforcesxdarling
Caitlin has just finished saying goodnight to Cisco and HR when she walks out of the STAR Labs building. With her keys in her hand, she looks down and presses the unlock button. It was just another day at the Lab for her, there really wasn’t an unusual amount of metas for the team to handle today, so it was pretty quiet. Caitlin even did some more tests on Wally’s vitals when she had a second. He was still training beside Barry to try and stop Savitar. Jesse even came from Earth 2 once in a while to help when she could. And now with Julian on their team, they just seemed a bit more unstoppable.
However, when Caitlin stops near her driver door, a familiar sense of deja vu sets her heart off into a leap; as if someone is watching her again. Clutching her keys tightly into her hand, Caitlin lifts her head and turns around. Maybe she was hoping that Ronnie would be there again, watching her from afar. That was years ago, and in some sense, Caitlin has moved on. Healthier for her own heart and piece of mind, it would be something that she knew Ronnie would want for her.
Realizing that she is alone, Caitlin gets into her car and drives off. On the quiet drive back to her apartment, her head can’t stop thinking about a cup of coffee because that’s all HR does. Smiling to herself, Caitlin pulls over just in time so she can make a quick run into Jitters.
A few minutes in the coffee shop and the former scientist walks out into the busy bustling streets of Central City. It’s a perfectly cool summer’s night for a Saturday evening. As people walk by chatting with their friends and loved ones, all Caitlin can think about is getting back to her living room, kicking her heels off and maybe catching a movie on Netflix.
