DP x DC: The Rivalry

It's a little-known fact among the Watchtower residents that there is a fierce rivalry going on amongst its members. On one side, the Flash, a core member of the Justice League. On the other, Daniel "Danny" Fenton, Head of Engineering for the Watchtower.

Nobody knows when the rivalry started. Some rumors say that it began when, after hearing the Flash rant about how stupid it is to believe in ghosts, Danny took the effort to reroute all of his outgoing calls to the advice line of the JLD. Others say that after Danny doubled the max speed of one of the jets, Flash took it upon himself to have a joyride in it and then submit a complaint about it being too slow... twelve separate times, each one no more than 24 hours after Danny had finished the last speed improvements.

Ever since, the two have been taking potshots at each other with pranks large and small. Danny arranged a standard maintenance check to change room authorizations... resulting in the Flash being unable to access the kitchens for a week. In return, the Flash spent an entire week replacing every single cup of coffee Danny had with the cheapest, most watered-down decaf he could find - and he swapped out the mugs for Flash-branded ones as well. Danny's modification of the Flash's suit to change colors to randomized sets of the most eye-searingly-bright, clashing colors possible for exactly one second after being exposed to the Speed Force were met with "Kick Me!" signs taped to Danny's back.

But... surely this has gone too far, right? Flash... really can't think of what he can do to top this.

He stares as every single Watchtower engineer zips between tasks using the Speed Force as if it's nothing. It's not a permanent change, thank god, he can see the packs on them that apparently give them the Speed Force, but it's still ridiculous.

You know what, no. He's just... not gonna engage with that. He turns around and leaves the engineering department.

It becomes a lot harder to avoid engagement when, over the course of the day, he has to witness each and every member of the Justice League speed around with a Speed Force pack of their own. Shouldn't Batman and Wonder Woman be above this sort of thing? Why does Superman need to be faster?!

❝ i don't know what it is about you, but, you just ... you're the only one who can make me feel like this. ❞

For whatever OTP muse is feeding you with this :)

Figured I’d write some soft post-s2 Westallen for this! With a focus on Iris’s feelings (what else is new for me 😂):

"I don't know what it is about you, but, you just...you're the only one who can make me feel like this," Iris confessed softly.

Barry just nodded, stroking the back of her hand with his thumb as he gazed adoringly at her.

It struck Iris how he'd always looked at her like that, even from the day they met.

Barry Allen had truly been in love with her since forever, just like her dad said.

"You say there's no Flash without Iris West, that I give you strength and courage...but so do you. You always have, Barry." She smiled softly. "I just...didn't realize until recently that it was more than just that."

She'd been a little in love with Barry for most of her life, since probably a little after they met...but it really hit her in the past year how all she wanted to do was lean forward and touch her lips to his, hug him and never let go...

How she wanted to be his person forever. And how she wanted him to be hers.

Maybe they had a point about absence making the heart grow fonder...after all, seeing Barry date Patty this past year had really kicked her feelings into overdrive.

(She wondered if Barry had felt like this around her and Eddie, and she winced. It wasn't a feeling she wished on anyone.)

"You're sure?" Barry said slowly, but despite the hesitation in his voice, hope lit his eyes. "This isn't...because of the byline or something?"

Iris huffed. "Barry Allen, if this was because of a stupid byline, I would've jumped into this last year. I wouldn't have fought for me and Eddie as a couple. No, this is not about the byline—this is about you and me, and I...I love you, Barry Allen. Truly, irretrievably, deeply, incandescently."

"Incandescently?" He teased. "You must really love me, to use words like that."

"Well...it's the closest I can get to describing it," she said. "It's...this...it's escaped definition."

"Hmm." Barry smiled. "I know the feeling."

She smiled. "There's one thing I know for sure, though."

"Oh? And what's that?"

"I really," she said slowly, eyes flickering down to his lips and back up, "really wanna kiss you right now."

He grinned. "Well, if the lady insists." He leaned forward, and so did she, their lips meeting in a searing kiss.

And Iris felt...iridescent.

prompt list!
