The joke lands, at least, coaxing a chuckle out of Root as she takes in the rest of Barry's advice. Her hand shoots out to shake his, quick and business like. Her name gives her a moment's pause-- officially, she's going to be known as Samantha. Will it help or hurt her to use her real name?

"I'm, uh, Samantha." Until she can find a way to change it, maybe it's best to stick to her given name. 'Samantha' smiles, shrugging.

"I woke up, or whatever, yesterday. I think. They made me watch a lot of history videos." Super fun, that.
