“There you are,” it sounded behind you. “We’ve been looking all over for you," Liz said worriedly.    “We?” you frowned. “Or just you?”    Liz sighed. “Tracy didn’t mean to tell Flash you’re in love with Peter. She would never do that on purpose.”    “Sure she wouldn’t…”    “Don’t be like that, [Name],” Liz said, following you as you made your way back inside her house. "You know what Tracy is like.
