It wasn’t as though she had a current surplus of friends, and Cisco seemed nice enough. She noticed the bright smile that appeared on his face, and it read as being quite genuine. Of course, her gaze turned a little shy, so she missed the following expression while the ground momentarily distracted her. Looking at his outstretched hand, Molly decided she’d never break out of her boring cycle of following her parents’ orders if she politely declined. “Alright.” She spoke brightly, taking his hand, and trying to ignore the fact that her cheeks flushed slightly. “STAR Labs. That must be interesting. Though I would’ve thought operations…slowed, or stopped, after what happened.”
Cisco’s face softened when he felt the woman’s hand in his. He didn’t expect her to accept the invitation to hold his hand, and when she did, a part of him wished he wasn’t the way he was. He quickly shook that thought from his mind as he led her toward the restaurant. “Yeah, It’s been pretty slow, but it’s what I love, ya know? Plus, we’re trying to figure out a way to reverse the side effects of the particle accelerator.” He lied, trying to impress the woman. He wasn’t simply going to tell her that they held multiple metas captive in their makeshift jail while his ex-friend, the Flash, went out and saved the city. No way.
