Nothin'.
[Of course Lup could lie and make herself sound like she swept the man off of his feet and they've been together happily in love since day one, but everyone already knows that isn't the truth. Besides, she's not embarrassed by the ridiculous length of time it took her and Barry to get together. It was the slow burn of the century, alright. And rushing it would have spit them out onto some other path entirely, one where Lup wasn't ready for a real relationship so soon, where Barry wasn't as confident around her, where they just crashed and burned instead.

Big ol' nothin'. We flirted - Well, I flirted, he got there eventually - but we both just kinda danced around it. There was more important shit goin' on, a whole annual apocalypse to figure out. We worked together in the lab, so like, it was pretty inevitable we spent a crap-ton of time together, but we kinda just kept it on the dee-el.
Def wanted to smooch his brains out all of the time tho.
