I hope you like prompts. I have had this cold flash prompt in my head for ages. Len and Barry are dating, much to the chagrin of Barry's friends and family, especially Joe. The Rogues actually like Barry and they may or may not know he's the Flash. Thinking it's in Barry's best interest, Joe enlists the others to help him find a way to break ColdFlash up, and it almost works too until something happens that shows how much Len and Barry love each other. Cue the guilt all around and angry Barry.
What if the Rogues band together to keep ColdFlash going, because they realize keeping Barry (and eventually The Flash) safe, and just playing the game nicely the way Snart does, is a win-win for everyone?
“What are you talking about, we LOVE Barry, and The Flash, why would we ever try to hurt him? And if someone else tries, they have all of the Rogues to contend with.”
Iris would be on Barry and Len’s side, so Joe would turn to Cisco and Caitlin, convince them of all the reasons this is going to be bad for Barry in the end, and maybe set up several things to put a rift between them.
Anonymous tip to Singh about the relationship. Only Singh calls Barry into his office…
“Are you kidding me, Allen? You think I haven’t figured out you’re The Flash by now? Or that the banter between you and Snart is a little too familiar? I’ve seen some of the videos people post catching you foiling his heists. I’ve also noticed the kinder, friendlier way Snart and his Rogues have been treating this city. You keep being The Flash and keeping our city safer, I don’t care who you sleep with as Barry Allen.”
Setup during a patrol to make Barry a little more vulnerable to an attack from Weather Wizard (because I want a kinder, secretly gentler Mark, okay), forcing Len’s hand to either intervene or let Barry get hurt. But Mardon doesn’t take the shot. He purposely avoids it because he doesn’t want to hurt Barry either.
“Better up your game, Flash. Gettin’ sloppy.” And just flies off.
Time after time, no one reacts the way Joe and Team Flash expects. And then they’re found out - Iris is livid, tells Barry the reason things have been tense between him and Len is because of all these crazy events orchestrated by their supposed friends and family. Barry can’t believe it.
He tells Len, rants to him, and Len thinks…if your friends and family hate the thought of you being with me so much, maybe you’d be better off without me. He walks away and Barry is devastated. Joe thinks it’s a win, that in time, Barry will realize they were right.
“Just wait until the next time you face off against Cold as The Flash. Then you’ll see what kind of person he really is.”
But it never happens. Cold never shows, never commits any crimes. The Rogues don’t either. Everything comes to a standstill in Central, because everyone–everyone–is focused on figuring out how to get these two idiots back together.
And finally, even Joe, Cisco, and Caitlin are recruited to help as well, because they realize, wow, these two really do love each other, and everything Joe ever feared would pull them apart or prove that them being together would be disastrous isn’t what ruined their relationship - he did.
Joe talks to Len. Lisa talks to Barry. They get them both to the same location at the same time, with everyone pitching in to make sure neither one backs out, and when they see each other…everyone is there to show their support for them - Central City’s power couple, Flash and Captain Cold.
They kiss and make up in front of almost everyone they know, and after that everything goes back to normal, where Central is the city where villains can have fun as long as no one gets hurt, and local businesses don’t mind as much if they get hit…because they often find themselves compensated later by anonymous donors.
