"How fast can he run?" Felicity asked. Bibiana watched as Barry ran on Cisco's treadmill. All while eating a burrito from Tito's.

"He hasn't reached his top speed yet," Dr. Wells said, "theoretically speaking."

"So is he really okay?" Felicity asked.

"As okay as you can be for someone like us," Bibiana said, before taking a bite of her burrito.

"His heart rate is in the normal range for him," Caitlin commented.

"Oh crap," Bibiana said, she had stained her shirt with some of the burritos. "I have to go and get another shirt."

Bibiana got up and left the room. Once Felicity was sure Bibiana was out of earshot she started to talk.

"This applies to both of them. The lightning bolt and the weird phone thing changed them both," Felicity said. "Do any of you really know how much? Bibiana. We all know she used to tell jokes often, laugh all the time, and was always talkative. Now she's different. It's like she uses humor to cover up the pain."

"We know a fair amount," Cisco commented.

"To be quite frank," Caitlin added. "We know Bibiana either stays quiet or hides her emotions with humor."

Bibiana walked in a few seconds later. The girl was wearing a baggy grey S.T.A.R. Labs t-shirt.

"How many shirts do we own?" Bibiana asked, adjusting the shirt.

"A lot," Cisco answered.

"If everything about him is sped up," Felicity said. "Is he gonna age faster? What would happen if he ran too fast? Would he just be running and then poof, he's dust in a red costume?"

Everyone turned to face Harrison Wells. The questions Felicity asked also made Bibiana question some aspects of her own.

"Everything we do here, at S.T.A.R. Labs, is to protect Barry Allen," Dr. Wells said. "Trust us, Felicity, he is in very good hands here."

"Wanna see how fast I can run backward?" Barry yelled. Everyone turned to Barry to see him crash.

"Don't worry. He heals quickly too," Caitlin said.

"Is it my turn?" Bibiana asked, finishing up the burrito she had started.

The girl never had real training. Everyone had focused their attention on Barry because he was Barry. Bibiana was more of someone who trained alone at a young age.

They all went into a different training room that was designed for Bibiana. It had different types of targets and hiding spots. Everything looked like what they used to train officers.

"Okay, Bibi," Cisco said. "We have moving targets, regular targets, everything to be used on you."

The first one appeared and Bibiana immediately shot electricity on it. Causing it to go on fire. The electricity she sent was being checked by her friends to see how many volts she could do. One after another she sent bolts. It was sort of like shooting a pistol or a rifle again.
