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."

He gives Barry a quick smile, because his confidence in Yamato is definitely appreciated. "Just off the coast of Urayasu, so outside Tokyo but still in the bay area. Maybe about forty-five minutes away from Odaiba, give or take?"
So he's not moving all that far.

"GP can't just cut in line and check off that achievement first!"

"That's cool. That's how I did it in college. Far enough away you can say you're out on your own, but close enough to drop in when you need to."

Date: Nov. 7th, 2019 08:58 pm (UTC)From:So happy for GP, though.
"Yeah, I can drop by and check up on Takeru. And most of the rest of the team are just moving to different parts of Tokyo, so they'll be pretty close by too."

"I'm flattered, kid," he laughs. "But I already have a rival. I don't think Taichi would like me rival-ing with other people."

"I'll get the table set."

And that's just about everything.

"Food's ready too," he says.

"Yeah, we did," he says, setting the dishes down carefully. "Thanks for helping out, both of you, I really appreciate it."
