Partners in Crime #5

"So Flash, you got a girlfriend?"

(Y/N) munched on a Twizzler from Cisco's stash, bored out of her mind.

It was a slow day at STAR labs. No metahumans had popped up in town, and no criminals were doing bad things. It was a good thing, but that meant Team Flash had nothing to do, but lounge around the lab all day. It came to the point that (Y/N) took the liberty of counting how many Twizzlers Cisco had in his "secret" stash.

Dr. Wells wheeled into the room, noting the quietness of the usually chaotic atmosphere. "Well, it seems that even the bad guys have a day off." The team chuckled upon hearing him. "Why don't you all take the day off as well? No use wasting time here waiting for a crime that's not going to happen."

(Y/N)'s eyes lit up, having come up with an idea. "Hey, why don't we all go out today? We could invite Barry too!" She looked at her friends for their thoughts. Caitlin and Cisco both nodded in approval, while the Flash didn't seem too keen on the idea. Before she could ask what the problem was, Dr. Wells spoke up.

"Count me out, as well as the Flash. I need to run some tests on his biometrics." The Flash quickly nodded, agreeing with the doctor's statement.

"If there's work to be done still, then I'll stay too." (Y/N) frowned in disappointment, but didn't want to have Dr. Wells do all the work. She wasn't being paid to eat stolen Twizzlers..

"Nonsense, you all go out." He shooed them with his hands. "It's some small tests, so I assure you, I can conduct them myself."

Seeing the skeptical look in her eyes, he motioned for Caitlin and Cisco to lead her out of the lab.

"Fine, fine. I'll go," she said, being dragged out by her friends.

_______________________

"Caitlin, honey, I think you should stop drinking now." (Y/N) tried coaxing her friend to put down the new glass of vodka she had ordered, on her newly opened tab.

When the three friends left the lab, they had no idea where to go to. (Y/N) suggested the karaoke bar, that Caitlin had visited with Barry. She thought it would be good practice for Barry, for the Christmas caroling. Of course, Barry didn't know what he was going to be forced into, and accepted the invite. Once they got to the bar, however, she got distracted from her mission, instead trying to prevent Caitlin from having the worst hangover tomorrow morning.

"I need to pee." Caitlin mumbled, her face scrunching up.

"Alright, let's get you to a toilet." She turned to Cisco, whispering so Barry wouldn't hear her. "I'm going to take Cait to the bathroom. I bestow my mission unto you, brave soldier. I expect Barry to be on stage singing when we get back."

"Sir, yes sir!" Cisco saluted, assuring her he wouldn't let her down.

And he sure didn't let her down. After ten minutes in the bathroom, she walked out, with Caitlin leaning against her, to hear the crowd chanting.

"BARRY! BARRY! BARRY!"

Walking back to their table, she shot Cisco a questioning look, noticing Barry was absent from his seat. He titled his head over to the stage, where she could see Barry holding a mic, not looking too enthusiastic. She burst out in laughter, patting Cisco on the back.

"Good job soldier, I knew I could count on you." She continued to laugh as her eyes met Barry's and he threw her an annoyed glare. In response, she stuck her tongue out at him, playfully. But, she then noticed his glare turn into a smirk.

"Cisco, why is B-"

She was interrupted by Barry's voice over the microphone. "You know, my friend, (Y/N), promised that she would sing with me tonight."

If looks could kill, Barry would be dead.

She quickly planned an escape plan in her head. If she left now, she could make it out the door, and ask Cisco to bring Caitlin over to her car.

But there was no use. She knew she was doomed, when she heard another chant start to happen. And this time, she wasn't the one laughing.

"(Y/N)! (Y/N)! (Y/N)! (Y/N)!" She could feel the whole bar staring at her. Even Cisco started chanting along.

"Oh, you better run once the song's over Allen," she muttered under her breath, glaring darkly at the laughing Barry. With no choice left, she trudged up to the stage, glaring at her friend the whole way up.

Putting a hand over the mic, so the crowd wouldn't hear, she whispered to him.

"I hope you run fast."

Barry just chuckled, unfazed by the threat that came from the petite woman. A random song was picked, the music starting preventing the outbreak of an argument. Seeing that she was supposed to sing first, she sighed and glared at Barry.

"I really can't stay~"

Barry looked surprised, for a brief moment, before returning back to his smirk.

"But baby, it's cold outside," he responded.

She could see the teasing glint in his eyes. In front of her, she could hear some people in the crowd chuckle and a few whistle.

"I've got to go away~"

"But baby, it's cold outside." (Y/N) noted that her duet partner did really have a good voice, slowly forgetting about being forced to sing.

"This evening has been~"

"Been hoping that you'd drop in."

"~so very nice."

Barry, fully committing to the song, held her hand while singing, "I'll hold your hands, they're just like ice."

Playing along, she playfully swatted his hand away. "My mother will start to worry~"

"Beautiful, what's your hurry?"

"My father will be pacing the floor."

"Listen to the fire place roar~"

"So really, I'd better scurry~" she motioned walking off the stage.

"Beautiful, please don't hurry~" Barry turned her around and led her closer to the middle of the stage.

"But maybe just a half a drink more…" she smiled, letting him pull her in closer.

"I'll put some records on while I pour."

"The neighbors might think" She acted worried, going along with the lyrics of the song.

"Baby, it's bad out there." He held her side to prevent her from moving away.

"Say, what's in this drink?" She threw him a questioning glance.

"No cabs to be had out there."

"I wish I knew how"

Barry caught her eyes, in his gaze. His eyes lost all teasing, instead filled with something else. "You're eyes are like starlight tonight."

"To break this spell." She felt her cheeks heat up.

"I'll take your hat, your hair looks swell." He sang, while gently holding a lock of her hair.

"I ought to say no, no, no sir." She wiggled her finger in front of his face.

"Oh, mind if I move in closer?" He moved in closer, lessening the space between them.

"At least I'm gonna say that I tried." She felt a familiar feeling in her stomach.

"What's the sense in hurting my pride?" He continued to move in closer, barely leaving any space between them now.

"I really can't stay~" She sang, but didn't move away from him.

"But baby don't hold out"

They looked at each other before singing in unison. "Cause baby it's cold outside."

She moved away from his hold to sing the second verse. "I simply must go~"

A part of her wanted to leave. She wasn't sure what to think, when he looked at her with those eyes.

"But baby it's cold outside," he caught her before she could get closer to the edge of the stage.

"The answer is no, no, no~" She sang, but didn't try to leave again.

"Aw baby, it's cold outside"

"Your welcome has been~"

"How lucky that you dropped in."

"So nice and warm,"

"Look out the window, at that storm." He pointed towards the window, that seemed like a silent night.

"My sister will be suspicious."

"Gosh, your lips are delicious."

The both of them turned pink at the lyrics, but didn't break eye contact.

"And my brother will be there at the door," she continued to sing.

"Waves on a tropical shore."

"My maiden aunt's mind is vicious."

"Oom gosh, your lips are so delicious" She couldn't but blush again, while Barry smiled at her reaction.

"But maybe just a cigarette more."

"Oh never such a blizzard before." He motioned again to outside, playfully smiling.

"I've got to get home~"

"But baby, you'll freeze out there."

Barry tugged (Y/N) closer, bringing her into his embrace.

"Say lend me your coat." She tugged on the lapel of his coat.

"Oh, up to your knees out there."

"You've really been grand~"

"I thrill when you touch my hand." Barry grabbed her hand and put it in his pocket.

"But you don't see, no, no."

"How can you do this thing to me?"

There's bound to be talk tomorrow." They were so caught up in their duet, they didn't notice that the whole bar had their attention at them with knowing smiles on their faces.

"Think of my life long sorrow."

"At least there will be plenty implied." He gave her a wink.

"If you caught pneumonia and died."

"But I really can't stay."

"Get over that whole doubt."

Their eyes didn't leave each other's as they finished the last verse of the song in harmony. "Oh baby it's cold outside."

At the finish of their song, the bar cheered, whistling and clapping for the talented duo. The two proceeded with a short bow, while holding hands, then walked off the stage. When reaching their friends, (Y/N) saw Cisco smiling at them while holding up his phone. A light on the phone was turned on, indicating that it was recording a video. Caitlin, still drunk, was happily clapping with a big smile on her face.

She saw Cisco, from the corner of her eye, smile, while pointing at something next to her. Following his finger, Barry and (Y/N) noticed their still intertwined hands.

Before her face could turn into a tomato, she quickly withdrew her hand and turned her attention to Caitlin.

"How are you feeling?"

Her friend's smile turned to a sudden frown. "Not so good."

"Okay, time to go home. Barry, could you help me?" She pulled Caitlin up to her feet, but struggled to keep her standing. Barry held one of Caitlin's arm, while she held the other and they slowly walked to the exit. Cisco trailed behind them, offering to carry the girls' bag. Once getting Caitlin into her car, (Y/N) turned back to the others.

"Do you need a ride?" The question was directed to both of them, but she was unable to meet Barry's eyes, and settled for staring at Cisco instead.

"Yup." Noticing the awkward tension in the air, he quickly opened the door to the backseat and got in.

"Umm, what about you Barr? She had no choice now, but to look at him.

"Nah, I'll walk home. It's not far from here." Barry seemed very interested in his shoes.

"Okay then, I'll see you tomorrow…" She opened the driver's door and got in.

"Yeah."

Trying to break the awkwardness, she joked, "Try not to be late this time."

Before it could get anymore awkward, she gave him a quick wave and turned on the ignition, before driving off.

Metas

He didn't have to tell you about her. You knew. He'd cried her name enough times in his sleep for you to know that he'd loved her. Iris. The woman the Flash couldn't save. You didn't talk about it, no one did. She'd been Barry's girlfriend, Joe's daughter, Wally's sister. Caitlin and Cisco's friend. He didn't know you knew about her. He didn't know that you knew that he was the Flash. He didn't know that you were able to read minds. "Barry." You whisper gently shaking him as he tosses and turns in the bed next to you. "Barry." He flies up and out of the bed then sits down quickly so that you can't help but stare at him in surprise. "Yea baby?" He mumbles, his voice thick with sleep. "You were having a nightmare. Are you okay?" "Yea. I'm sorry I woke you." "You didn't." You lie. You can't control your powers in your sleep. You've been experiencing this same dream with him every night for the past month. "I was awake." You eye him cautiously, "Do you wanna talk about it?" "No." His phone chirps and he pulls it off of the nightstand. "Barry this is the third time this week you've woken up from a nightmare." "I know baby." He says reading the message on his phone, "I gotta go. Joe needs me at a crime scene." He presses a quick kiss to the top of your head before starting for the door. His fingers texting Joe back. "As Barry or the Flash?" You ask as he grabs his coat. He freezes as your words hit him. "What?" "You heard me." He turns on his heels and stares at you. It takes every ounce of willpower you've got not to read his mind. "Me? The Flash." He gives an anxious chuckle. "Don't lie to me." You snap, "You're not the only meta in the room." "You. You're a meta-human?" "Yes." "What can you do?" "Read minds." He stares at you in disbelief, "I can control it, mostly, the only time I can't is when I'm sleeping. I know you're having nightmares about her, about that night. I know because I'm having them too Barry." You blurt out, before he can run away. "I-." His phone rings and he looks desperately from you to it. "Go. I'll still be here when you get back. I'll make some tea." You tell him and before you can even blink he's kissing you, one hand on the back of your head the other under your chin. Then he's gone. You make the tea and wait for him to come home. It doesn't take long, this time he comes home in the red flash suit and your jaw practically hits the floor he looks so good. "I'm sorry I didn't tell you. Why didn't you tell me? And I love you." He says coming toward you as he pulls off his mask. "It's okay. I didn't want to freak you out. And I love you too." "Did we just have our first fight?" He asks, that crooked smile you adore on his face. "I think so." "Then I should probably kiss you. You know, 'kiss and make up' and all." He teases and you laugh. "What's taking so long Flash?" You quip and he laughs before his lips collide with yours.

Friend like you [ Barry Allen/Flash x Kara Zor-El/Supergirl]

A/N: dedicated to my best friend, Becca; love you so much ❤ The pain is inevitable; even the greatest heroes will experience it. No one can't outrun pain, not even the fastest man alive. Barry thought he has faced everything - in those two years of being the flash; he thought nothing could be worse than getting superpowers and even with them you'd still couldn't save the ones you loved; he couldn't save his mom or dad; Barry thought that watching someone you love die is the worst thing that could happen to him, but oh boy, he was so wrong. Seeing how your friends are broken because of you and noticing that you can't put them back together; knowing you ruined their lives was far worse than seeing death. Barry was helpless even with his super speed; because of his mistake everything was altered; his friend's lives were different, damaged. Everything because of him. His best friend hated him for not being able to save his brother; and the most caring girl in the world got ice powers that are making her unstable, broken; Barry couldn't fix them, he wished he could, but he was ... powerless, and now they hated him. He shook his head as he put on his red mask; Barry Allen needed someone to talk to and he even knew the right person, the only one who would try to cheer him with donuts and silly stories. " I'm sorry, guys. " Barry wishpered as he speed off into another earth. - The night was quiet in National City; the people were heading home and so was one blonde haired girl, she said her 'goodbyes' and 'good nights' to her work mates, to her best friend and she went home. She decided to take a walk, since she had a pretty rough day; she found out that her ex boyfriend was now trying to be the city's new superhero and she was just worried about his safety since he didn't has powers like her. Kara felt a gust of wind blowing in her face and she closed her eyes. " Kara?" a familiar voice asked The girl opened her eyes slowly ; trying to notice who was the guy standing before her. She observed the red suit with a lighting bolt on it and the geeky smile that he showed. " Barry! " she said excited, hugging him tightly. Barry wrapped his arms around her as tight as he could; her hugs were always warm and welcoming, he thought that one day she'll be able to put his broken pieces back together. " What are you doing here? Is something wrong?" she asked worried and curious in the same time, usually he came when he needed help fighting bad guys. " I did something that had a bad effect on everyone except me; I thought I could use a friend right now and I...I thought at you." Now, Kara let go of him slowly, looking into his eyes, she saw the pain that he was holding; the girl smiled wide and took his hand. " Let's go get donuts! After that, you'll tell me what happened. " Barry nodded; he was glad he chose to come at Kara. She was one of the few people he trusted , even if she was from a different earth. - " So , you say that you went back in time to save your mom, created an alternative time line where you lived for three monthd, then you went back in time to let Reverse Flash kill your mom, again, but when you went back to the actual timeline things were different ?" Kara asked , trying to process all the information , while eating a donut with chocolate and strawberries. " Yes, Cisco's brother died, Caitlin got ice powers and Joe doesn't have a good relationship with Iris anymore. It's all my fault. Cisco said he hated me and Caitlin doesn't talk with us anymore. " Barry burried his head in her shoulder, sobbing. " Barry Allen, you're one of the strongest guys I know; You're the flash! Even more than that - you're the one who helped me be a better superhero. You can't give up now! " Kara finished her donut and grabbed his face, making him look straight at her. " They are your friends and if I know something is that friends forgive ! I'm sure if that, I've met them, they loved you; they still love you. You're not alone. You don't have to do this alone. We can figure a way to help them - together. Because you have me. And I care about you , Barry. I always will. " He looked at her as a she wipped his tears away ; for her sake he cracked a smile. " That's one of the fakest smiles I've saw, Allen! " she laughed, making him giggle as well. He wrapped his arms around her. " Thank you Kara Danvers. " She wanted to reply but he continued rambling. " ...or Kara Zor-el, which is your alien name, because you're an alien, which is really cool. " " Shut up, scarlet speedster. " she giggled They've spent some good hours on her couch , talking about stories - Kara told him about her life on Krypton and Barry told her about his childhood, about his mom. " Can I stay with you for a little while? " " You can stay as much as you need, Barry." " Thank you. "

Partners in Crime #1

"Can I help you?"

"Yes, please! Where would I be able to find Mr. Allen?"

"Upstairs, take a left."

"Oh, great! Thank you very much!" 

(Y/N) hurried up the nearby staircase in search of the man just mentioned.

"Look Joe, I wasn't expecting Iris to find someone while I was in a coma for 9 months. And now, I can't do anything, or I'd be ruining her happiness. And I don't want to be that guy." Nearing the slightly opened door labeled, "Forensic Analyst: Barry Allen" she heard two distinct male voices coming from inside.

"All I'm saying is that if you don't tell her soon, you might just lose your chance forever." The other voice warned, sympathetically.

"I know, I know. I just don't think this is the right time, when they're planning to move in together." The first voice reasoned. 

Taking a deep breath, (Y/N) knocked on the door three times, to alert them of her presence. "Hello? I hope I'm not interrupting anything." She spoke peeking her head into the doorway.

Inside, she saw two men; one sitting down in a chair, with his face buried in his hands, and the other leaning against the table. They both turned to stare at the new voice in the room.

"Can I help you miss?" The older of the two asked. The other just stared blankly at the her.

"Actually, yes! I'm looking for Mr. Allen? I was supposed to meet him today at 11, but if I'm too early, I can always come back later. I just didn't want to be late for my first day at my new job and I really wanted to make a good impression. And I really didn't mean to intrude on your conversation, I am really sorry if I did…" (Y/N) could not stop her rambling, her anxiety and nervousness taking control. "I can just wait outside in the hallway if y’all aren’t done with your-"

"Woah, calm down and take a deep breath," the older man recommended, in amusement. She heaved a big breath in and out, before focusing back on the current situation.

"Sorry about that," she apologized. "I didn't mean to freak out like that, I'm just really nervous and really excited to start my new position here." She was practically bouncing in her spot. Anxiety and excitement was not a good combination, she noted.

"Don't worry about it." With a chuckle, the older man step forward and held out a hand. "I'm Joe West. I work as a detective here at the CCPD; my office is downstairs."

"Very nice to meet you, sir! I'm (Y/F/N) (Y/L/N). I just moved here from Starling City." She replied, shaking his hand. 

"Starling, really?" Joe asked, the surprise evident on his face.

"Yeah, it's not such a bad city if you get past the bad guys and all that," she shrugged, making it seem like no big deal. "I'm mean sure it's not really safe to walk around at night, and the crime rate is really high. And everyone walks around with pepper spray. Or a taser if you really want to splurge.” Both the men’s eyes widened. “Oh, but it's a lot better now because of the Arrow and the other crime-fighting vigilantes/heroes.” She assured them.

"Well, it was nice meeting you Ms. (Y/L/N)."

"Oh please sir, call me (Y/N), or anything else. Ms. (Y/L/N) makes me sound so old."

"Then, in that case, call me Joe and you got a deal." The two nodded in agreement and Joe continued, "If you need anything you can find me downstairs." Nodding to the younger man, Joe left the room closing the door behind him.

The remaining two stared at the door, lost in their own world and thoughts. The man chose to break the silence first.

"I'm Barry, by the way. Nice to meet you (Y/N)." 

She shook his hand eagerly. "Oh, Mr. Allen! I'm (Y/N) (Y/L/N)! But you already knew that, of course. I'm so sorry to intrude into your room like this, I just was really excited to meet you. And, I normally don't ramble this much, or maybe I do, but I'll try to control it the best I can if it bothers you too much-"

"Breathe (Y/N). And don’t worry about it. I tend to ramble a lot too.” He smiled warmly. "And call me Barry. Mr. Allen makes me feel old too, and we seem like we're the same age."

"If you say so Mr. Al-,” Barry rose his brow. “I mean Barry," she corrected herself. "Well, it’s so nice to meet you! I know that you must be really busy, so let me know what you want me to do and I'll be out of your way!"

"Actually, it's been a slow day today since we don’t have any cases in investigation at the moment. How 'bout I give you a tour of the station instead?" he suggested, "I mean, if you haven’t seen all of it yet." 

(Y/N)’s eyes lit up at the suggestion, "That would be great! By the way, do you know a good coffee shop near here? I haven't been able to go searching for one with all the moving and chaos."

Barry shot her a smile, while gathering his things. "You know, I was just about to head out, myself, for a cup. I know just the place," 

—

(Jitters)

"Could I get an Americano in the biggest size you have?" (Y/N) could see Barry's amused face from her peripheral, "What? I haven't had coffee in, literally, three days."

Barry raised his arms in surrender, "I didn't say anything."

"Yeah, but you thought it."

Barry laughed while she shifted through her purse for her wallet.

"I got this." He assured her, when he saw her take out her card.

"No, I'll buy it, you were the one to show me around."

"Nope. I already got it." He said, handing over his card to the worker.

She sighed in defeat. "Fine, you win this round. But expect an extra large cup of hazelnut mocha on your desk on Monday." (Y/N) forewarned him.

Both smiling, they moved to a nearby table waiting for their order. And before they knew it, their coffees were placed in front of them by a petite woman with a big smile on her face.

"Barry, who's this?"

"Iris! Umm, this is (Y/N), my new forensic analyst partner. (Y/N), this is Iris, my best friend and Joe’s daughter." Barry introduced the two. (Y/N) could see the Barry’s face light up at the woman in front of her.

"Nice to meet you (Y/N)! Are you new to the city? I haven't seen you around before, and I never forget a face."

"I just moved here from Starling a few days ago, actually. The boss has been showing me around the city before we came here." She threw Barry a smile.

"By the way, I'm sorry if I'm being nosy, but are you a model? You look really pretty, which makes me not want to stand next to you." She asked with a sincere look on her face.

"Me? Ha ha, I'm really flattered but sadly no, I'm not. I actually work at the Central City Times and am a part-timer here when free." Iris turned to Barry with a grin. "I like her!"

"Since your new to the city, do you want to hang out sometime, just us girls? I love Barry and all, but I am in dire need of a close girlfriend to talk with. I’ll show you around the best places.”

"Of course! You literally read my mind!" (Y/N) nodded enthusiastically. "I have a feeling this is the start of a wonderful friendship!"

During their conversation, she learned about Barry’s relationship with the West family and his recent wake from his 9-month coma. She had only heard of the effects of the particle accelerator explosion from the paper, since no one in Starling was directly affected. And Iris shared about her relationship with Eddie and more about her job at the paper. Eventually, she had to go back to work and gave (Y/N) a friendly hug before returning behind the counter.

"Let me guess. You like her and she doesn't know.And you can’t tell her because she’s already in love with this Eddie guy, and you don't want to ruin your friendship?" (Y/N)’s question snapped Barry out of his lingering stare at Iris working, and he looked at her, embarrassed.

"Is it that obvious?"

"Eh, kind of. I’m good at noticing things. And I kind of heard the last part of your conversation with Joe earlier when I was about to knock on your door." 

He sighed. “I've tried telling her multiple times but she always finds a way to change the conversation into one about being like brother and sister and how I should be comfortable with telling her about girls and my nonexistent love life." She could see the sadness in his eyes as he let out another sigh.

(Y/N) leaned over and patted his back in sympathy. "Well, I say it's never too late until she says "I do", so I think you still have time. But man, you were sibling-zoned by her. That's even worse than the friend-zone."

"Well, I think you're wrong." He shook his head in disagreement. "It is too late. I've tried every way to tell her, dropping hints and what not, but she doesn't even have a clue. And even if she did, she hasn't said anything about it. She doesn’t think of me anymore than a brother."

"Well, I wish I could help you, friend. But unfortunately, I’m not Cupid." She looked at him with pity in her eyes.

Suddenly, Barry turned to her, his eyes widening by the second. Seeing his reaction she thought of the worst. "Is it too soon? Should I have said acquaintance instead of friend? Sorry if I got a little ahead of myself."

Barry interrupted her with enthusiasm, "No, that's not it. Of course we're friends. I was reacting to the part about you wanting to help me."

"It's just a figure of speech, I don't really think I should get into the middle of your love life situ-"

"Please?" Barry pleaded. "You're a girl."

"Yes, Barry, I think we've already established that I am a girl. I'm kinda hurt you thought otherwise. I mean, sure I'm not as pretty as Iris, but I don't think I’m that unattractive to be mistaken for a guy." She continued her stream of consciousness, rambling on. "I mean, Iris is a pretty high standard to meet, but not everyone is pretty like her, Barry. And I'm glad you figured out my gender now before later in the future, or we could've had a pretty awkward situation. I thought having longer hair would be an good indicator of my-"

"(Y/N), stop. You really do really ramble a lot." He grinned. "What I meant was, that you have a mind of a girl, and so you could help me confess to Iris, or at least help her to figure out my feelings for her." He explained, trying to prevent her from rambling again.

"Oh, ha ha ha. I knew that."

"…"

"Okay I didn't, but fine. I'll help you with your unrequited love life since we are friends and because I've been in your shoes. But whatever happens, I refuse to take the blame for it and you better not be mad at me if things don't turn out the way you want."

"Of course." Barry smiled with relief, succeeding in persuading her to help him.

"Well, it was nice talking to you, but I should go home and finish unpacking my stuff. I'll see you Monday, with an extra large cup of hazelnut mocha in hand," she said, getting up from her seat.

"Yeah, sure. See you around partner."

"Bye, partner-in-crime. Ha, get it? Because we help solve crimes. Which is the opposite of what it normally means.” 

Barry just shook his head in amusement, as she walked away.

"(Y/N)." Barry called out as she reached for the door.

Turning back, she raised her brow at her new friend..

"By the way, you're pretty too. And whoever that guy was, was an idiot for not liking you back.”

—

A/N: I ramble a lot too. So I really connect with (Y/N) lol. Also, the timeline for this story isn’t going to follow the series exactly. Thanks for reading!

“I’m on my way, don’t worry.” (Y/N) assured, looking down the road. “No, I’m sure I’m not lost. I just wanted to stop by to grab some coffee for us. I found out about a great place from a friend.”

“I thought I was the only friend you had in Central City?” The voice on the other line asked in a hurt tone.She could imagine the pout forming on her friend’s face.

“I thought I was friends with Cisco and Dr. Wells too?”

“Well…you know what I mean. And, you told me that you couldn’t hang out yesterday because you had work? If you didn’t want to see me you could have said so.” 

“Oh my gosh, Caitlin, stop. I did have work, but we had no current cases, so my partner offered to show me around town. And this all happened after you called me yesterday.” She tried reasoning with her friend, to stop her from wallowing in sadness.

“…”

“Caitlin, are you still there?” she asked, breaking the silence. 

“Fine, I forgive you.” her friend finally responded.

“Oh, thank you soooo much.” (Y/N) replied sarcastically, but with endearment. “Well, I’m gonna hang up now ‘cause I’m in the parking lot. I’ll see you in a bit.” 

“Okay, see you soon!” Caitlin exclaimed gleefully.

(Y/N) noted the very empty parking lot. Well, better parking spots for her, she shrugged. As she walked towards the building, it brought up nostalgic memories of her friends, when she visited them a year ago. 

“Caitlin? Anyone there?” She called out into the pitch black lab. “I’m pretty sure I’m in the right room.” 

She retraced her steps in her head, thinking if she made wrong turn in the hallway, when suddenly, the lights turned on, blinding her.

“SURPRISE!!” 

As (Y/N) regained her vision, she saw her friends standing in the middle of the room with bright smiles.

“You guys! You almost gave me a heart attack, and momentarily blindness.” She said with a grin on her face.

“Well, then it was worth it.” Cisco high-fived Caitlin, who was standing next to him and Dr. Wells. 

Playfully glaring at her friends, she walked over to grab them in a deathly hug. 

“I’m so glad you’re here!” Caitlin exclaimed when breaking apart the group hug. “And this time, you’re staying longer than before!” 

Caitlin Snow, or Dr. Caitlin Snow, was (Y/N)’s friend from university. They had met when Caitlin bumped into her inside the campus coffee shop, and when they discovered they were taking the exact same upper level classes, it became the start of a beautiful friendship. 

(Y/N) was also the reason Caitlin and Ronnie met too. When Ronnie was in need of tutor for Quantum Physics and Equilibrium, she overheard his conversation and gave him Caitlin’s number, who had a crush on him since the day she saw him in the Science Library. (Y/N) made them promise that she would be the godmother of their future children the second after Ronnie’s proposal. After she found out what happened to Ronnie during the particle accelerator incident, she grabbed the next train to Central City to help her friend through the rough time. It was hard already that she just lost one of her best friends, with Ronnie’s death, so she couldn’t even imagine what it felt like for Caitlin, to lose her best friend and her fiancee.

“Now we can have Sherlock marathons!” Cisco cheered.

Cisco Ramon, was (Y/N)’s spirit animal. They agreed they were each other’s soulmate, platonically of course. Their first meeting was when she visited Caitlin after the particle accelerator explosion. They clicked right away, and kept in touch after she returned back to Starling. And of course, he would always butt into her and Caitlin’s facetime whenever he could.

“Of course! You better have been training for it.”

“Duh. Dude, marathons are the reason for my existence. I’ve been training for 2 years for this.” Cisco happily chomped on his 45th Twizzler of the day, grinning in between chews.

“Ms. (Y/L/N), it’s good to have you back.” Dr. Wells greeted her. 

(Y/N) also met Dr. Wells for the first time, when she came to Central City nine months ago. He was cold at first, but eventually warmed up to her; noticeably, after he had a bite of her famous brownies. Her mother always said, “the way to a man’s heart is through his stomach”. 

“Thanks Dr. Wells! It’s really nice to see everyone again!”

“Have you thought about my offer from last time? It still stands. Although, I understand if you choose not to take it, based on our lab’s reputation now.” Dr. Wells’ smile faltered, being reminded of the events a few months past.

When Dr. Wells met her, he was intrigued to find out that, instead of becoming a scientist or working in a lab discovering the next element, she was working as a forensic scientist in Starling City. She was offered a job at STAR Labs when she came to console Caitlin, but turned it down because she didn’t want to leave Starling City at that time. But now that she moved, the situation was different.

“Really?” (Y/N) lit up. “I completely forgot about it, with all the moving and chaos.” 

“Well, STAR Labs would be lucky to have a scientist with your expertise join us.”

“Dr. Wells, there’s really no need to persuade me. I would take the offer in a heartbeat. But…” she trailed off, a frown forming on her face after remembering her other job.

“I moved here to work at the CCPD, and so I wouldn’t be able to work full time here.” 

“Of course, forensics is your passion. But, not to worry. We’ve been in a partnership with the CCPD, ever since the appearance of the metahumans in the city.” Dr. Wells explained. “I’m sure we could work something out with them.”

“Are you serious? Thank you! Thank you so much!” She shook Dr. Wells’ hand rapidly with excitement. Caitlin and Cisco grinned at the news, excited to hear that their friend was joining their small team. 

“Well, we have one more member of our team who has to approve of you, but I’m sure he will.” Dr. Wells chuckled at her persistent hand-shaking.

“Who?” 

She didn’t notice anyone else in the room with them when the lights had turned on. 

“He’s not here right now. He, uh, works part-time here at the labs actually.” Cisco fumbled over his words nervously.

“So, what’s the plan for today guys?” A voice sounded from behind her, making her slightly jump. 

Turning around, (Y/N) saw Barry saunter into the room with his hair all over the place, like he just walked through a windstorm. She was surprised to see him in STAR Labs. It seemed he was too, by the look of his widening eyes and his frozen state.

“Uhhh…” He paused, failing to come up with any words. “Y-(Y/N)! Wh-wh-why, I mean, w-what are you doing here?” He scratched his neck nervously, looking at the others for an explanation. 

“Barry! What are you doing here already?”

“We thought you were coming later…”

Cisco and Caitlin were in a state of panic as well, while Dr. Wells pinched his nose in frustration. Barry continued looking antsy, looking anywhere in the lab except for at her. 

“What’s going on here guys? Is Barry the other person I’m supposed to meet?” Her friends continued to panic and everyone continued to look anywhere but at her, trying to avoid answering her question. 

“Barry is actually…” Caitlin finally spoke, looking at the others in the room for help with her sentence.

“He’s here for CCPD!” Cisco yelled out. Confused, Barry gave a ‘what’ look to Cisco, wanting further explanation.

Dr Wells chose to intervene at this moment. “Yes, Mr. Allen is here to go over the recent meta human case we just closed. Isn’t that right Mr. Allen?”

“Y-yes! That is exactly why I’m here. To talk about the case…” Barry echoed Dr. Well’s words, seeming unconfident with his words.

“Really? I thought today was your day off Barry?” (Y/N) wasn’t convinced that it was the real reason he was here.

“It is!” Cisco interrupted. “But you know Barry. He’s a workaholic. Those off days still can’t stop him from working, right Barry?”

“Yeah!” Barry replied a little too enthusiastically. Caitlin buried her face in her hands, shaking her head.

Something seemed off to (Y/N), but she decided to drop it at the expense of not wanting to hear anymore lame excuses. “Alright then, I’m just gonna head out now with Caitlin. I’ll see you at work tomorrow, Barry.” 

And before the boys could make a bigger mess than they already did, Caitlin push her friend out of the room, silently glaring at the boys from behind.

"Have yourself, a merry little Christmas.."

Barry could hear the iconic Christmas song coming from inside the forensic lab, as he reached for the door. Walking inside he could see strings of fairy lights adorning the lab walls, and a section of the wall; where green Christmas lights were put up in the shape of a Christmas tree. There was rustling in the far back corner, behind the bookcase of chemicals.

"This would have been so much easier if he actually cleaned the lab like he said he would."

"Who are you talking to (Y/N)?" Barry chuckled, seeing her struggling to try putting up a box on the highest shelf.

"Aaahhhh!" She jumped at his voice, letting the box go. Barry grabbed it before it could hit the floor, and shatter whatever was in it. "Didn't you learn in school not to sneak up on people, while they're trying to put things on high shelves?" she questioned in annoyance.

"I don't think they teach you that in school."

He tried not to laugh at her attempt to put on a menacing face. She glared at him, before breaking into laughter as well.

"Well consider yourself taught then. Now go, and spread the knowledge my young cricket." He chuckled at her response, while putting up the box on the top shelf, with little effort.

"What are you up to lady?"

"Well, since you're a liar, I took it upon myself to clean your lab."

"Hey, it's our lab now."

"Oh, sorry. I meant YOUR MESS," she enunciated the last two words, poking his chest for emphasis.

Barry took a moment to look around the room to find it a lot cleaner than he had ever seen, since moving into the office. The scattered pile of papers that had been on the floor for four months, were now filed in their respective folders and placed neatly on his desk. The multiple dirty beakers that were left in the sink were now on the drying rack, spotless. The empty boxes of donuts were thrown away in the trash, and the table that previously housed said donuts, was cleaned and free of any debris. He could go on forever playing the game, 'Spot the Difference'.

"I'm sorry..." He rubbed his neck, embarrassed.

"Yes Barry, I know you're sorry. I think the whole police station calls you "Sorry" instead of "Barry" now," she teased. "Anyways, it's not a big deal. The mess didn't bother me too much."

He raised his eyebrows at her lie.

"Okay fine, it was bothering me a little. But cleaning is very therapeutic for me, so it really wasn't a big deal."

"Still, it was my mess. You should have let me clean it."

(Y/N) threw him an amused look. "You and I both know you would have never cleaned. And besides, I wanted to decorate the place with a little Christmas cheer, so I volunteered to clean it."

"Let me make it up to you, though. I feel bad for making you clean my mess." He knew that he wouldn't have cleaned it either way, and was thankful she ended up cleaning his mess.

"I told you, don't worry about it." (Y/N) tried assuring him, but he continued pleading.

"Please!" he begged her.

"Fine! I have one way you can make it up to me."

"Yes!" He felt victorious, winning the "argument". "What is it?"

"Well, a little birdie told me that you have the voice of an angel." She enjoyed watching his face turn red from embarrassment.

"W-what? Who told you that?" His voice became high and he could feel the burning of his cheeks.

"Caitlin and Iris." she was trying to refrain from laughing, not wanting to upset him. She didn't think his face could become any more red, but was proven wrong. He reminded her of one of the round shiny red ornaments. "I want you sing for me."

(Y/N)'s face brightened at a new idea that popped in her head. "Actually, better yet, I want you to go caroling in your neighborhood for me. Why should I be the only one to enjoy your beautiful voice?"

"No, absolutely not."

"Wow." She feigned a disappointed face, using her dramatic acting skills she learned from years of watching Korean dramas and Spanish soap operas. "I thought Barry Allen was a man of his word. I guess not."

"I am-"

"Nope, I don't want to hear it. I have lost my faith in men. What's the point, when they are all going to lie to you? Barry Allen, you are to blame if I end up shunning men for life and become a nun."

Barry sighed, knowing that her dramatic acting would not stop until he gave in.

"Fine." he muttered.

"Uh, what's that? I can't hear you. Did you just say another lie?" she teased, cupping her hand to her ear.

"Fine." he muttered, more loudly this time.

(Y/N) broke into her widest smile at the response. She danced a little victory dance, while making a mental note of the songs she was going to make him sing.

"What's got you jumping up and down?" Joe walking into the room, watching (Y/N) with amusement.

"Joe! You came in just the right time! Barry, here, has agreed to go Christmas caroling around the whole neighborhood!" She couldn't help but laugh, picturing Barry caroling by himself.

"Really?" Joe was surprised, shocked even, at the news. "You know I tried to get this kid to sing whenever we went to the karaoke bar? He threatened to quit his job."

Barry buried his face in his hands, attempting to block them out.

"Never underestimate a woman and her power of persuasion."

When their laughing died down, Barry took the opportunity to change the subject.

"Joe, did you need something?" He said a little grumpily.

"Actually, I just came up here to ask (Y/N) if she wanted to join us for our Christmas get-together."

(Y/N)'s eyes lit up, like the Christmas lights in the room.

"Really? I would love to!" Her expression turned worrisome for a moment. "Actually, I was planning to spend Christmas with Caitlin and Cisco. And Dr. Wells, whether he likes it or not."

"Barry was planning to invite them anyway. The more the merrier," the detective offered.

"That's settled then! I'll bring some of my brownies." she started planning in her head.

"That's not necessary, you don't need to bring anything-"

Barry interrupted Joe's sentence. "Joe, let her bring her brownies. Caitlin told me stories about them; they're the best you'll ever taste. Even Dr. Wells agreed." He was a little curious how good they were to have won over Dr. Wells.

(Y/N) patted her friend on the back. "You flatter me, my good man."

"Well, if you don't mind (Y/N)."

"Consider it done! It's really not a problem making them!" (Y/N) beamed at Joe, remembering to thank him for the invitation. "Thank you for inviting me!"

"Well, then I will see you both tomorrow night then!" Joe waved at the two, then left to take care of other matters.

"Iris is going to be there." Barry brought up, watching the detective leave.

"Cool?" (Y/N) responded, unsure why he was telling her this piece of information.

"You promised to help me with Iris?" Barry jogged her memory to a before, when she promised him to help with his love life.

"Right, listen Barry-"

"Oh no you don't. If I have to keep my promises, you have to keep yours."

"But-"

"If you back out, I won't have to carol around the neighborhood. You know what? Don't help me. Then I don't have to carol anymore." Barry grinned at the dilemma (Y/N) faced.

"Ugh, fine. I'll help you, she begrudgingly agreed. "But like I said, whatever happens, you better not blame me, mister."

"Sure, whatever." he agreed.

"Oh, and Barry?"

"What?" His mind was now occupied on how to rope her into going caroling with him.

"I'll make sure to make buy some figgy pudding for you." she teased.

Partners in Crime #3

After spending some needed girl time, the pair headed back to STAR Labs.

(Y/N) could hear Caitlin, in the passenger seat, talking on the phone in hushed whispers. She didn't think much of it, not wanting to be nosy. The whispering conversation continued, when the car pulled into the lab parking lot. She waited patiently, turning off the ignition, for her friend to finish the phone conversation.

Caitlin's face lit up all of a sudden. "Alright, I'll bring her in then." Hanging up, she turned to her friend with a big smile.

"What are you so happy about? You're starting to freak me out." (Y/N) leaned against the door, distancing herself from her creepily smiling friend.

"Well, Cisco just told me that our fifth team member is present in the lab, and to bring you in to meet him!"

"Why were you being so secretive on the phone, then?" she asked.

"You'll see when we get there!"

Caitlin managed to get out of the car in record time, flinging open the driver's door, grabbing (Y/N)'s hand, and dragging her into the lab.

"Cait, Caitlin, c-can we slow down a bit?" (Y/N) wheezed, out of breath. But she couldn't help but smile, seeing how giddy Caitlin was. She hadn't seen her friend this happy, since Ronnie died.

"There you guys are! What took you so long?" The resident tech-genius whined. "Was there a shoe sale on the way here that you had to stop by?" He was still munching a Twizzler when they entered the room.

"Hey! There's nothing wrong with wanting to drive safe. Slow and steady wins the race, or in this case, stay alive." (Y/N) thought of herself to have superb driving skills, especially better than Cisco, who thought the speed limit sign was more of a suggestion for drivers, and Caitlin, who drove extremely slow in case she accidentally hit a butterfly.

"And where is this important person I need to meet?" Frankly, she was a little annoyed at the mystery of the fifth person. It had been bugging her all day, and having impatience as a personality trait was not helping the situation. Who was this secretive person who she had practically had to set an appointment to meet?

"Well, the need to wait is no more. Here he is!" Cisco stepped to his right, wiggling his fingers at the ground behind him.. "TA-DA!"

"A dog?! We have a team mascot? Oh my goodness, he is so adorable!" She half-whispered, half-screamed because the little puppy was sleeping, adorably, on the floor. (Y/N) was literally jumping up and down, unable to contain her excitement on the news of the unmasked fifth member.

So worth the wait.

"Dang it, I thought you would be mad, or at least a little annoyed." Cisco was disappointed at her reaction, thinking she would be mad that the mysterious fifth person wasn't even a person. "I completely forgot that you loved dogs."

Caitlin rolled her eyes at his attempt to annoy (Y/N) and turned her attention to trying to calm down her best friend. "(Y/N). (Y/N). (Y/N)!!" Her attempts failed, however, as her friend now kneeled on the floor, cooing at the sleeping puppy. "(Y/N), can you listen to me for five seconds, please?"

(Y/N) stopped her fawning, and stared at her friend, who was cutting into her time of cooing at the puppy.

"Yes?"

"Cisco was just kidding. We actually have someone, a real person, we want you to meet, before you lose your mind again over the puppy." Caitlin gestured her hand over to the area behind (Y/N), where a figure dressed in, what appeared to be, scarlet red spandex stood.  

"That cannot be comfortable," she commented, under her breath.

She focused her attention on his face, which she couldn't see very clearly. Standing up, she brushed off her knees and walked over to the red figure with her hand extended out.

"Hello sir! I'm (Y/N)! Pleasure to meet you!"

Even as she got closer, she couldn't make out his face very well. It seemed as though it was vibrating or something. She rubbed her eyes, thinking her vision was messing with her.

The red figure took her hand, and shook it, but didn't do anything else. He just continued to look at her.

"Umm, this would be the part where you tell me your name?" Immediately, the handshaking stopped.

"Wait, (Y/N). You don't know who this?" Caitlin voiced from behind.

"Of course I know who this is. You're 'The Flash'! But I meant, what's your real name? You must have a real name right? Or am I supposed to guess? Is it Clark? Bruce? Bart? Wilson? Wait no, you don't really give off the vibe of a Wilson…" She continued rattling off names off, already lost in her own world.

Caitlin sighed, not liking to have to raise her voice. "(Y/N). (Y/N). (Y/N)!!"

"Bernie? Stewar-" She looked at her friends' faces. They didn't seem as excited as she was.

"What?"

"We can't really tell you his identity…"

"Yeah, Dr. Wells told us that we shouldn't, or can't, tell you for your safety."

She gave her friends an 'are you kidding me' look.

"Well, WE aren't allowed to tell you, but if you found out for yourself, we couldn't stop you," the voice behind the vibrating face reasoned. (Y/N) turned back to the source of the voice, the man in the spandex suit. She gave him the same look she gave her friends.

"For all I know, you could be the guy selling hot dogs on the street. How would I even find out? Actually, the better question is, why should I even try?"

"The answer is closer than you think," the superhero hinted.

"At least give me a better hint." She pleaded the Flash and her friends, with the best puppy dog eyes she could muster. But to her friends, it just looked like she was trying to imitate bug eyes, so it didn't help her cause.

"So until I find out who he really is, he has to walk around in that costume whenever I'm here?"

"Yup. And it's not a costume, it's a superhero suit. There's a difference," Cisco insisted.

"Well, I do love a man in uniform." she said jokingly. "I think I'll take my time on this case."

"It's true, she does." Caitlin laughed at her friend's antics.

The Flash, on the other hand, seemed flustered at her words, making him stutter. "I-uh-um. Well, nice meeting you Ms-"

"Call me (Y/N)."

"Right. Um, well, I'll be leaving now. Let me know if anything happens or if you need me."

With an awkward wave, the Flash sped out of the room, making any loose papers fly about in the air.

"You know, you guys should really buy some paperweights." (Y/N) suggested to her friends. "Where's he going by the way?"

"Probably off to another rendezvous with his crush." Cisco informed, with raising his eyebrows up and down, in a suggestive manner.

"Huh, interesting. I wonder who she is?"

"Cisco, don't you dare." Seeing him about to answer her question, Caitlin hurried to interrupt him.

"Any-who, back to the real important matter at hand." (Y/N) gestured to the puppy on the floor. "Who's puppy is she?" The puppy of the matter was still sleeping, not even bothered by the previous events in the room.

"It's yours actually."

"WHAT?!"

With that yell, the puppy woke up from it's nap and gave out a yawn, before running over to (Y/N) and pouncing near her feet. He took a second to sniff the new human, before reverting back to jumping up and down.

"What do you mean?" (Y/N) was on the verge of tears from the happiness, and sadness that this whole thing might be a dream. She pinched herself to check. "Ow.. Yup, definitely not a dream."

"We got you a puppy as a welcome gift! I know how much you've wanted one but couldn't when you were in Starling." Caitlin exclaimed.

Her previous land lord didn't allow her to keep dogs in her apartment because of his allergies, so she had to hold off on her dream of becoming a dog lady (similar idea to 'cat lady', but instead with dogs). Well, she wasn't serious on the dog lady thing, but was devastated upon finding out that she wouldn't be able to get a dog. But now, with her changed living spaces, she could.

"You guys, you are the best friends that anyone could ever have." Caitlin's eyes got teary at her words, and Cisco was already a sobbing mess. "What's his name?"

Wiping away her tears, Caitlin responded. "We were waiting for you to name him, since he's yours."

Laughing, (Y/N) looked at the dog closely, through her watering eyes. "Hmm. I think I'm going to call you Chewy. Short for Chewbaca the Third."

The dog barked at his name. "Good! I'm glad you like the name! You're gonna be our new mascot!" Smiling , she picked him up in her arms gently.

"Well, if he's our new mascot, you better be ready to bring him in to the lab everyday. He's as much part of the team as anyone of us." Cisco said.

"Of course! And I hereby decree, Cisco Ramon and Caitlin Snow, the godfather and godmother of my child Chewy. If anything were to happen to me, I entrust him in your care." (Y/N) announced dramatically, sniffling through her stuffed nose.

"And the moment's over." Caitlin sighed again at her overly dramatic best friend.

(A/N) I really want a dog. I really want a dog. I really want a dog. I think if I say this enough times, maybe one will appear.

Imagine, Iris and you catching up on all of your adventures outside of Central City...

Iris: I can’t believe that you are finally back!

Y/N: I know, it’s been a while. 

Iris: Okay, I know that we talked a lot over texting and phone calls, but I still want to know every single thing you did.

Y/N: Well, then we are going to be here for a long time.

Imagine You and Barry both working for the CCPD

Holiday Challenge: 5

“Hey Barry!” You call dropping your bag onto the floor, it thuds loudly and books shift. "Hey!” He comes zipping into the room stopping suddenly in front of you. “You look beautiful today.” "You are much too good to me Barry Allen.” You tell him with a smile before wrapping your arms around his neck and kissing him softly. "Nah.” He grins that adorable boyish grin of his down at you before kissing your nose. “I got you something today.” "You did?” "I did. I know how much you love eggnog and I thought, since you’ve got so much studying to do that it might be nice if you had some. The non-alcoholic kind of course.” "Barry. That’s so sweet thank you. One more test and I’m done.” "Then we can have alcoholic eggnog!” Barry says with a grin down at you. "Or just alcohol.” You counter and he laughs, squeezing you gently while he does. "That works too. We’ll go out and celebrate with Cisco, Caitlin and Iris.” “And Wally.” “And Wally.” He agrees, “Now get some studying done and I’ll get you that eggnog.” "Yes sir.” You give him a jaunty salute and wink at him as you head back to the chair you’d dumped your bag by. He’s got the eggnog to you before you’d even opened your book, he places a swift kiss on the top of your head the zips over to the chalkboard he’d been working at before you’d come in. You’re halfway through the page when you take a sip of the eggnog. It hits your tongue and you sputter, coughing slightly as you force the beverage down your throat. "You okay?” "Babe. This is not eggnog.” "What?” "I don’t know what it is but it’s not eggnog.” You tell him popping a peppermint candy into your mouth. "The container says eggnog.” He says showing you the boxed liquid. The box does say eggnog on it but it doesn’t look right compared to the kind you normally get. "Can I see it?” You ask holding out a hand for the container. "Here.” He slips it into your hand and after just a glance you have to bite the inside of your cheek to keep the laughter at bay. “What?” Barry asks looking down at you in confusion. A small giggle escapes you and the dam breaks causing you to break down in a fit of laughter. “Come on! What’s so funny?” Barry prompts trying to sound annoyed but you can hear the smile in his voice. "Barry.” You say calming yourself down, "This is a soy nog. A non-dairy eggnog substitute. That means there’s also no real eggs in this, it’s fake egg, soy milk eggnog.” You explain, the smile still stretched across your face. "Oh man.” Barry groans slapping his forehead lightly. "It’s okay babe. It’s the thought that counts.” You tell him pressing a kiss to his cheek. “Are you going to be able to drink that?” “Not a chance in hell.” “I’ll go get another one. The real kind.” He promises. He kisses you quickly before heading out the door only to come zipping back into the doorway a second later. You look up from your phone at him in surprise, “What are the chances you’re not going to tell Cisco about this?” "Um,” “Too late?” “Sorry Flash. This time you were just a bit too slow.”

Not The Flash: End

A/N: Some spoilers from the finale of Season 2

You don’t know how long you’re unconscious. When you wake up you’re on an uncomfortable mattress, in a dimly lit room. A hand is wrapped around yours and a machine is beeping from somewhere nearby. God it’s annoying. You force your eyes open and glance around in confusion, what was the last thing that happened? Zoom. The fight with Zoom. And Barry screaming. “Barry.” You croak, your throat rough from lack of use. “Barry?” You try again and this time the hand in yours tightens. “Barry.” You say again and his face pops into view. “Manon!” He whispers, the smile on his face infectious. “Hi there.” “You’re awake.” He brushes your hair back from your face. “How long was I out?” “Almost two months.” “What!” You cry trying to sit up. Barry stops you with gentle hands. “No, Manon you need to relax.” He tells you gently. “We don’t know the full extent of what taking your speed did.” You’d forgotten. You’d forgotten you weren’t a speedster anymore. “Where- where did my speed go?” You ask and he looks at you with worried eyes. “To me.” “And Zoom?” “Gone. The Time Wraiths took him, he’s gone for good.” He tells you the story then. Of how he brought you back here, how Joe was taken, how his dad was murdered. How Zoom had made him race and how he’d defeated him. “I’m sorry I wasn’t there for you Barry.” You tell him cupping his face with a hand after using your thumb to wipe away a tear that’s leaked out. He’s an orphan too now. He closes his eyes and tilts his head into your hand. You sit up slowly and press your lips to his. He pulls back in surprise. “What?” “Caitlin thought you’d be paralyzed.” “Well, let’s see.” You say swinging your legs over the side. I take a deep breath and look up at him as he stands. “I’ve got you.” He murmurs, the anxiety obvious on his face. You nod and touch your feet down onto the floor. You stand slowly shifting your weight from the bed to your limbs. “You might be a little shaky from lack of use.” He tells you and you let out a small huff of air. “Well at least I can stand. That’s better than last time I woke up in a hospital bed.” You tell him in a lame attempt to make a joke. You take a step it’s a small and shaky one but you manage to do it. You follow that by a few more slow, small steps “Barry I-I can walk.” You tell him breathlessly, a smile breaking out on your face. “Do you still have your speed?” He asks and you try to run a few steps. Then glance at him. He shakes his head sadly. “Barry it’s okay. I never wanted to be a hero anyway.” “What?” “I felt like it was my responsibility to be a hero, to save people, but you. You’re made to be a hero. You’re made for this life. I just wasn’t. I may not have my super speed but that doesn’t mean I can’t help you in any way I can. Even if that just means being there for you when you come home. Victorious or defeated.” “You’re really okay that I got your speed?” “Better you than him.” He kisses you then, pressing his mouth possessively to yours. His hand wraps around the back of your neck keeping you as close to him as possible. “Let’s go home.” He says his forehead resting against yours. “Your place or mine?” “Let’s just pick one and make it ours.” “Are you asking me to move in with you?” You ask looking surprised. “Yea.” “Your place. Mine is smaller and a monthly rent so I won’t be breaking a lease.” “Deal.” He scoops you up then and smiles down at you. “I love you.” “I love you too Barry Allen.”
