1_million_words ENJOY!!
Cisco angrily stomped into the lab and slammed the files he’d been carrying down onto his desk.
Iris and Barry looked up in surprise but after taking one look at Cisco’s stormy facial expression, Barry already knew the reason for his friend’s bad temper.
“What’s Julian done now?”
“It’s what he hasn’t done that’s the problem,” Cisco retorted. “I asked him two days ago to recalibrate the metallurgical microscope to within 110% accuracy and he still hasn’t done it yet!”
“I’m sure he’ll get it done as soon as he’s back from CCPD,” Iris answered calmly.
“Well, speak of the devil,” Cisco muttered as Caitlin and Julian entered the main lab, but it was Caitlin’s next sentence that stunned Cisco to near speechlessness.
“Julian, I want to thank you for recalibrating the meta scope as quickly as you did.” Caitlin reached out her hand and touched Julian’s arm briefly. “I really appreciate it.”
Julian stuffed his hands in his pockets while he looked down bashfully, his cheeks pinkening slightly. “Happy to do it,” he finally stuttered out.
Caitlin smiled softly at him before removing her hand, Julian staring besottedly at her as she walked back to her work station.
It wasn’t until Barry cleared his throat that Julian seemed to remember where he was. He grabbed his satchel, mumbled that he had to get back to the station and then he practically bolted out of the lab.
Barry and Iris exchanged amazed looks, while Cisco needed a minute to recover his ability to talk. “What the heck was that about?”

I think you mean as instead of at. I read it as if Caitlin had been in the same room with Cisco the whole time, hence he was muttering at her. And at the same time, Julian entered. I was confused because I thought Caitlin heard Cisco's complaints to Barry and Iris and set about to embarrass Julian by thanking him for something he hadn't done. But now I understand that Caitlin and Julian had just walked in.
