"I'll find a way, I promise," he tells her and he's careful not to attach even a tentative when to that promise because it's one that he'd very much like to keep. He intends to. Barry would absolutely give him the time off, and he's only a consultant for the precinct, so getting the time off itself isn't the problem. It's getting the time off when he's not needed to help with metahuman crises that's the hard part. Taking the time off while Gracie is here is simple because he's still in Central City if they need him in a few minutes' notice. When he goes to visit her, though, the same will not be tre.

Things go pretty well, if you ask Cisco, with Barry and Caitlin. Caitlin talks Cisco up like it's her job or something, as if she's a little worried that he might need it, because she sees how happy Gracie makes him and she wants to make sure that he doesn't lose her. Barry, on the other hand is too busy looking dumbly impressed that Cisco finally delivered on all the "I can get any girl I want, watch the master" garbage he's always spewing when they go out to the bars. It's been a while since those sentiments have come out of Cisco's mouth. Now, Barry knows why.

As they're heading back down the elevator and out of the lab, Cisco puts an arm around her and pulls her close, kissing the top of her head. "Well, that's one half the battle. My friends know you're real..." he jokes.
