"Oh, alright... Though honestly, it seems as if you men are always starving, in the blink of an eye!" Hannah chuckles, low and soft. "I mean, honestly: do you not eat any other time of the day, save when you're with the successful Broadway star who gets to comp her guests' meals?" she was chuckling, of course, because she was no Broadway "Star" by any stretch of the imagination; with her contralto voice, she barely rated any choral or character part, much less starring roles...

Absolutely! I love eating with you. I can stuff my face as much as I want and still ill be no where near eating as much as you. Makes a girl feel thin.

[Barry made a face at her words. Even though they were true, he didn't have to admit to it.]

Just for that, you don't get to pick where we're going.

[Raised brows.] You just had lunch not even two hours ago, Barry.

[Oh, like that was going to stop Barry.]

So? But I'm hungry now.

I'm just trying to figure out where you put it all. [But that's definitely not a no, and besides, Oliver's sorta hungry himself.]

On second thought, forget it, I'm actually starving too. What are you in the mood for?

[What's with the face? That's a super power Felicity would kill to have. Do you hear her? KILL.]

Fine fine, I suppose I deserve it. Pick away Mr.Allen.

I burn it off. I kept passing out because I wasn't eating enough. You don't want that on your conscious, do you Oliver?

[Barry was grinning. And mostly kidding. Except, he had passed out. A few too many times for his liking. He was never going to make that mistake again.]

I don't know. Anything except Mexican. Cisco keeps buying me tacos. He worked it out that I need to roughly eat 850 tacos in a single setting.

There's this burger joint. It's really good. Can I introduce you to it? You'll never want anything else ever again.

[Maybe he should mention that it's not in town?]

Better than Big Belly Burger? I don't know, Barry. That's a pretty big claim.

[That would be helpful, yes.]

I'm willing to give it a chance though.

Yeah, man. You got the cash for a few hundred pizzas?

Just a chance? This place will change your life. And it's not in town. You ready for a demonstration of how fast I can run?

[Barry's smile is bright.]

...I don't need that many. And besides, I'm not the only one who can pack a pizza away!

I got the calculations figured out right here, buddy. ( he taps his temple with his index finger. ) Seven hundred twenty seven for you, one for me. And a half. Maybe.

Wait, what kind of toppings are we talking? That's gonna affect some numbers.

[Barry just looked at him, and rolled his eyes.]

Let's just go get nachos. I can actually eat a normal portion.

[After a beat of silence.]

Like seven times later.

Hey I said I was willing to give it a shot, didn't I? I'm giving you an opportunity to prove your taste buds. It'll be tough though, I'm a foodie.

[Her grin is just as happy.]

Of course I am. I just wish I had known, I would of worn pants and a jacket instead of a flowy short skirt.

( his grin widens. ) Now you're speaking my language.

You know I'm just looking out for you, man.

Okay fine, you did agree to it. I'll give you props for agreeing to be adventurous.

[Barry nodded, and took a step forwards, and then a step backwards. He watched her wearily for a moment, unsure about how to touch her.]

Can I put my arms around you? I'm still practicing this! But-- [Barry gave her a quick grin.] --I know how to do it! And I like your skirt, I'm glad you wore it.

I know, I know. I miss being able to eat a normal amount of food. But at least I have an excuse now when I get hungry. 'If I don't eat, I could die!'

[Barry's smile turned serious.]

But you know I appreciate it, right? What you and Caitlin and Dr. Wells are doing for me? I really couldn't manage without you guys.

( oh no. no, no. cisco knows that "barry's about to give a heartfelt speech" look. he braces himself.

when it's all said and done, he just laughs, shaking his head. ) You act like we don't love every second of it. Well -- I do, anyways. All this -- ( he waves his hands around emphatically ) -- stuff is like, the absolute coolest.

[Barry followed Cisco's hands, looking at all the equipment in the lab. He only knew about half of what was in there. What it did and didn't do. The other half... He just didn't question it. It seemed like the saner option. Especially with Caitlin around.]

This stuff is pretty cool. What are you going to make for me next? [He grinned hopefully.] Maybe another batch of those protein bars? They were amazing, by the way. Waaay better than anything at the grocery store.

( yeah, no, that's definitely for the best, in regards to caitl -- err, dr. snow. ) He-ey, now. That's for me to know and you to find out. Eventually. At some point in time.

( his eyebrows lift with genuine surprise. ) You really think they're that good? I was just kinda messing with the chemical side of things and hoping for the best in the end.

( a beat. well, he's not lying. )

Yes, this is just another thing to add to my resume! Cisco Roman: engineer at S.T.A.R. Labs, friend of many, resident funnyman, and skilled baker.

What, why can't I have a sneak peek to what you're cooking up? I'm the feet. I deserve to know what I'll be running into. I'd share that info with you!

[Except, while Barry's good at what he does, he would have no idea how to remotely do any of the things that Cisco (or Caitlin, or Dr. Wells) could create. Barry was just good at remembering things and tracking. He was really good at that. Barry grinned at him.]

And yeah! They are awesome. I want to some to be able to take with me wherever I go. You should give me the recipe and I won't bug you for them.

[Smiling brightly she just rubs her thumb over the bridge of her nose] Did you ever doubt it for even a second?

[Well that was curious. Felicity tilts her head, watching him before nodding her head.] You can, thank you for being a gentleman about it. And I'm glad you like it, I thought you might.

Seeing as I'm technically not keeping you from feeding whatever gaping black hole resides in your stomach, your passing out wouldn't be on my conscious.

[He smirks, though Oliver might totally feel a little guilty especially now that he knows the side-effects of Barry's newfound abilities.]

I think I can manage no Mexican. Chinese, Thai...perhaps a good old fashioned burger, fries and milkshake? Been a while since I've splurged.

Yeah, yeah, save it, man. Patience is a virtue, even if running hundreds of miles per hour kinda eliminates the need for it.

( flattery will get you a long way, barry allen. cisco is absolutely tickled. ) Okay! I'll give you the recipe on one condition...

( he leans in closer, whispering conspiratorially: ) Nachos are on you today.
