After everything that's been going on lately, the time has come for a break. A planned visit from a friend is just the thing and with no major crisis going on at the moment, it's the perfect time to make that happen.
So, with an itinerary that includes science, food and video games, Barry is excited to bring Yamato in from Milliways for another trip to Central City.
Opening the door from the bar that's a broom closet in S.T.A.R. Labs, Barry gestures Yamato through.
"Here we are," Barry says with a smile. "Welcome back, dude."
The corridor, like most of rest of S.T.A.R. Labs that doesn't get used by Team Flash much, is usually pretty dimly lit, but today the passageway is bright in anticipation of their guest and the science that's about to commence.
Nodding down the hallway, Barry says, "Cisco and Caitlin are in her lab and we're all set up for you."

"You know," he says slyly, cracking his neck. "Pretty sure I said way back that I'd give you a really awkward hug once I could, Gramps. Would've done so earlier, but I didn't want to hurt those old man bones of yours, y'know?"
There's no glass wall to save you from being hugged now, Flash.

"Yeah, I remember. Bring it in."
no subject
Date: Oct. 1st, 2019 07:59 pm (UTC)From:It's not a long hug, but Yamato squeezes Barry pretty tightly before he pulls back, giving Barry an awkward but happy grin.
no subject
Date: Oct. 1st, 2019 09:25 pm (UTC)From:"Ahem." Standing in the doorway with the mop bucket in tow, Caitlin clears her throat and gives them a bemused expression when they break.
"I think Cisco is ready whenever you two are," she says smiling.
no subject
Date: Oct. 1st, 2019 09:31 pm (UTC)From:"Thanks. I'll just clean up here and then we can go."
Yamato is nothing if not an efficient cleaner, and it doesn't take long at all for him to mop up the puddles, setting the bucket neatly in one corner once he's done.
"Okay, let's go find Cisco."
no subject
Date: Oct. 2nd, 2019 02:57 am (UTC)From:"I'm gonna go get changed," he says, exiting in a whoosh.
Caitlin just smiles, helping out by using a rag to wipe down the few wet spots left on the desks and console.
When Yamato is ready she gestures out of the Cortex, ready to lead the way back to her lab.
"I know you and the guys have plans after this," she says along the way. "So we can run the next tests and let you go, and I'll compile a report to get to you before you head back to your world."
A beat, and then she gives a small chuckle. "You would think that would be more strange to say, 'your world', but it really doesn't feel that weird at all."
no subject
Date: Oct. 2nd, 2019 03:03 am (UTC)From:He flashes a wry smile at the mention of how strange -- or not strange, as the case may be -- other worlds are.
"It's the kind of thing you get used to pretty fast. I'd already been dragged to another world when I first ended up in the bar properly." Which is to say, the first trip he sort of remembers, because the ones when he was eight are a blank for him. "So it was just more of the same. Didn't feel that weird."
no subject
Date: Oct. 2nd, 2019 07:40 pm (UTC)From:Listening to Yamato describe his own experience, Caitlin smiles.
"I guess maybe everything we've done here has made adjusting to strangeness easier. If you'd told me a year ago that I'd be part of a superhero team saving the city from villains I definitely would have thought you were crazy."
She laughs and steps into her lab where Barry and Cisco are already waiting.

Date: Oct. 2nd, 2019 07:49 pm (UTC)From:There isn't even one bow-wielding vigilante in Yamato's world. They have a marked lack of bow vigilantes.
As they enter the lab and Yamato hears Cisco's theory, he squints for a moment, before his gaze flicks over to Barry, then Caitlin, then back to Cisco.
"Okay, that's not ... impossible, kid," he allows, "but I don't know if it's likely."
no subject
Date: Oct. 2nd, 2019 08:45 pm (UTC)From:"I guess it is," she finally relents, giving a small shrug and a chuckle.
Listening to Cisco's theory and glancing back at Yamato, Barry, back in plain clothes now, gives a doubtful look Cisco's way.
"Yeah... I don't think that's it," Barry says.
no subject
Date: Oct. 2nd, 2019 08:45 pm (UTC)From:With a scanning device that looks a lot like a metal detector wand, Cisco starts to sweep over Yamato while looking at the tablet he's holding with his other hand.
"Checking to see if you and your Crest and putting off any energy or radiation right now," Cisco tells Yamato. "But for real, wouldn't I make an awesome partner for a Radicalmon or something?"
no subject
Date: Oct. 2nd, 2019 08:51 pm (UTC)From:He gives Barry a slightly wry look, just so they're all totally clear on there being no Radicalmon. For now, at least.
He cocks his head. "But if there is an evil Digimon on its way over, I finished that, er, project you were helping me with," he adds to Cisco, holding still for the scan. "I haven't had a chance to properly test it yet, though, and the data integration coefficient was way higher than expected on the one test run I did do, and ..."
He's babbling, he realises. Nerves are making him babble. He's shutting up now.
no subject
Date: Oct. 2nd, 2019 10:10 pm (UTC)From:"What, you finished and you didn't share? You wound me, man." A hand goes to Cisco's chest to illustrate the mortal blow to his heart. "We totally could have gone to the airfield and shot rockets at you or something," Cisco notes.
Disappointed with missed opportunities, Cisco resumes scanning, pausing a moment and giving a little frown at his screen.
"Um... hey, guys? You wanna... " Cisco jerks his head, not so subtly gesturing at Barry and Caitlin to step away with him. "Just, wait right here for a sec, Yams."
no subject
Date: Oct. 2nd, 2019 10:10 pm (UTC)From:Barry gives Cisco a curious head tilt and walks over. Caitlin looks equally puzzled as she steps in closer and takes a glance at the screen Cisco is holding.
"Oh," Barry says, his eyes widening as he looks down at the displayed readings.
Caitlin's own brows shoot up and she's just as surprised.
"Well."
no subject
Date: Oct. 2nd, 2019 10:16 pm (UTC)From:Ah, well. Another time.
Any disappointment on his part is quickly replaced by concern when Cisco gestures the other two over, and that concern is only amplified by their reactions.
"Guys? What's wrong, is it something bad?"
no subject
Date: Oct. 2nd, 2019 10:31 pm (UTC)From:"Are you sure the scanner is calibrated correctly?"
"How is that even possible?"
"See how it bumps up every beat?"
"Is it him or the-- "
Eventually they realize they've left Yamato hanging, and all three turn towards him.
"Yamato... " Caitlin starts carefully. "You said you've had an MRI and testing before, correct? Those didn't turn up anything?"

Date: Oct. 2nd, 2019 10:47 pm (UTC)From:no subject
Date: Oct. 2nd, 2019 10:47 pm (UTC)From:"Right. Well, as you know our tech here is pretty advanced, even for our Earth. This scanner is calibrated to pick up on a lot of different energy signatures and radiation emissions, from Dark Matter to UV and everything in between and outside of that."
Barry glances at Cisco for confirmation before going on.
"Right now, it's indicating that your output is off the charts. Like, literally, it goes beyond what we've measured on anyone, including my own energy output."
no subject
Date: Oct. 2nd, 2019 11:00 pm (UTC)From:He still has to blink at Barry a few times when he explains.
"Okay," he says, furrowing his brow. "That's -- I guess that makes sense. Sort of."
He cocks his head.
"... Is it a problem?"
no subject
Date: Oct. 3rd, 2019 04:05 am (UTC)From:"Cisco," Caitlin snaps at him.
no subject
Date: Oct. 3rd, 2019 04:05 am (UTC)From:"We uh-- we're pretty sure," Barry adds, just a touch uncertain.
Caitlin steps over to Yamato and says, "The main thing is, your body seems to be handling it. All your other vitals are reading as basically baseline human, so whatever this is, it's not negatively affecting you, and it doesn't seem to be affecting anything around you. It's contained."
"Minus what happened earlier," Barry says. "But, I still think there was a trigger that caused that."
no subject
Date: Oct. 3rd, 2019 04:22 am (UTC)From:He rubs the back of his neck, thinking for a moment. "It's probably what Gennai or Centalmon would call the Light of Evolution. That's the name Digimon gave to whatever weird energy the Crests are made of or produce or whatever," he says. "I don't have any idea what exactly it is beyond that, though."
He gives Barry a quick nod. "Right. We narrowed down the trigger to something Infection related, or something that seemed Infection-related. And it stopped when the MRI machine powered down."
no subject
Date: Oct. 4th, 2019 10:24 pm (UTC)From:"But for real, yeah, that's exactly the energy signature that's showing up here. You should totally let me take a shot at you with the Digi-Stun-Gun to see what happens. For science."
