[ The feed opens up to a young woman sitting behind the counter of a flower shop. Several flower arrangements are lined up behind her, some more artfully arranged - and frankly, more gorgeous - than others.

(They're works in progress, okay?) On the bright side, she's sticking to safe combinations or single-flower bouquets, rather than branching out. ]

Hey, everyone. [ She beams into the camera; first impressions matter, after all. ] I've gotta ask, especially if you've been here a while: what's one thing you wish you'd known when you first got here?

I'm no stranger to parallel universes - trust me, living in Central City will do that to you - but it's still kind of surreal, you know? This doesn't have to be anything life-changing. It can be something small like, oh... I don't know, your new favorite coffee place?

Yeah, I think it can be? [ She laughs, ] You'd really have to ask Cisco and Caitlin. I try to keep up, but I've still got a massive backlog of science reading.

[ None of which she'll finish anytime soon. She can already tell. Iris immediately brightens at the idea of hanging out, nodding - ] Yes please! I'm sure you're busier than I am right now, so why don't you tell me when you're free and we'll get together then?

I used to find my sister's science fair stuff so boring. Because my dad was a scientist, and... well, what we had back on Krypton was on a different level. More advanced, I'd thought, until I met Barry and the other metas on my Earth.

( She might have joined the science guild like her dad, as much as she'd wanted to be like her mother.

Either way, Iris assenting to hang out with her has her stoked. A broad grin appears across her face. )

Awesome! How about two nights from now, around 7? Are you a karaoke fan, or would something like getting together for coffee be more your style?

For all we know, it really could be.

[ But karaoke! The mere mention distracts her from whatever tangent she was about to embark on. ]

We should do karaoke. As much as I like coffee, it gets a little old when summoning it is your superpower.

Awesome! I do too, honestly.

( Seriously, she's not gone out for karaoke in months. She grins, her excitement showing through. )

Not a bad superpower, though. I bet my boss would spawn strawberry danishes at will. And great! I'm looking forward to it.

Then it's settled! You, me, and the best karaoke bar around.

[ Or non-alcoholic karaoke place. Whatever's got the best song selections around, in all honesty – and Iris really couldn't ask for anyone better to hang out with. ]

I'll see you then, Iris. Let's knock their socks off.

( Non-alcoholic is fine by her, too. She's very excited to get out for a change and just hang out with someone from a world she's more familiar with. )
