Hanging around in an abandoned warehouse after dark was more like making a shady drug deal than making a date.

Barry started when footsteps thumped behind him. He turned.

Snart crossed the cement floor in a few strides. "Give me your hand." He didn't make requests.

Barry obeyed. "Hey, what's up? How are you doing?" He tried for a polite smile.

Snart grabbed his wrist. "This is a brand new Apple Watch."

Barry stared at the gleaming blank watch face. "Please tell me this wasn't stolen."

Smart fastened the band smoothly, his fingers confident and warm against Barry's skin. "It's been modified so you can contact your little Scooby Gang at a single word, and it can measure how fast even you run. I also installed the newspaper app where Iris works so you can keep an eye on your press."

Barry blinked. "Did you steal this from Cisco? Because he said he was going to give me a --"

Snart tugged Barry close for a kiss, quick and dirty and stolen. Then he turned and walked away.

"Hey!" Barry called after him. "What about our date?"

The watch beeped. It was a calendar alert. Dinner at an upscale restaurant across town in ten minutes. Dress up nicely. Depart now to get there on time. Barry took off in a crackle of colored lightning. Could he choose the right outfit in under ten minutes?
