It’s called Freefall Chapter 3

Some even have multiple, and it is never sure what kind of a bond you're destined to have with your soulmate. Alexandra Turner is a special case however, as her whole body is covered in marks. 24 to be exact. What she doesn't know that there's someone else out there with 24 marks who's waiting for her to bump into them.

Barry couldn’t stop smiling to himself as he led Alex through the masses of people that were leaving their workplaces. He had met his soulmate, he had actually met her and he had been the first one as well out of everyone. He knew that they were all on the same team, that being Kevin’s, but he couldn’t help but feel a bit special since he had found the one destined for them. 

But no matter how happy he was, Barry still felt a bit of sadness because even he could see that there was something hurting Alex, something that was stopping her from feeling the same joy he had in his heart. He had always known that he’d have to be prepared to be rejected by their soulmate purely because of his condition, but he never expected to be met with sadness before he had even had the chance to introduce himself. He wasn’t sure what had happened to her, but he knew that, if she allowed him to, he’d want to make sure that sadness would be replaced with a smile. 

Alex found herself in front of a small café that was only a five minute walk away from the therapist’s office. It looked quite quiet inside, despite the busy traffic outside, which she was very grateful for. Nodding a thank you to Barry for holding the door open for her, she stepped in and looked around - there were only a few patrons there and plenty of empty tables were free for them to have what she suspected was going to be one of the most difficult conversations in her life. 

“What do you want to drink, Alex?”

She heard Barry ask and she immediately looked up at the chalkboard menu on the wall, her head swimming with options. She tried to open her mouth and  reply with anything, but no voice came out. She was still unable to fully speak and her cheeks flushed, ashamed of her own anxiety getting the best of her. 

But Barry just smiled reassuringly and gently placed his hands on her shoulder, right on top of his mark. He may not know or understand what’s going on in her mind, but he could tell that at that very moment, he needed to just offer that extra bit of support so he looked up at the menu and offered,

“How about we just get a teapot to share? Is Earl Grey okay?”

Alex was shocked to hear him speaking up with a choice, taking a lot of pressure off her shoulders. She nodded, this option was fine with her and the smile she received in return made her feel a bit more at ease as well. 

After Barry had ordered and picked up their teapot from the barista, he led her to one of the more secluded areas to sit down. She had picked up the cups for the both of them before following him, happy that he had chosen a private space for them. She may not fully know what was to come but she had a gut feeling that it would not be a simple ‘how’s the weather today’ type of a conversation. There was a silence between them as they settled in at the table for two, neither of them wanting to scare the other off it seemed. Once sat and both of their breathing had calmed, Barry finally looked at her properly and spoke up with his voice being gentle and soft, something that didn’t fully suit his massive frame.

“So, as I mentioned before, I do have a couple of marks on me. Now… before I continue, I just want you to know that I won’t force anything that you don’t want, Doll, so please just speak your mind on what I’m about to explain to you.”

He paused for a moment and looked across the table at Alex, the fear of just outright rejection slowly building up in his chest. She remained as silent as she had been, there wasn’t any indication that she would bolt again so he continued,

“There’s no smooth way to say this because I can’t really sugarcoat any part of it too much so here goes nothing… The reason why I visit doctor Fletcher is because I have DID.”

“DID?”

“Dissociative identity disorder. Have you heard of it maybe?”

Barry was praying to whoever was listening that she wouldn’t run, and that she would have heard at least something about his condition. He really didn’t want to explain the details of what it is and how it came to be, it wasn’t really a conversation to have over tea in his opinion. Luckily Alex nodded and whispered softly,

“I read about it a little when I looked Doctor Fletcher up.”

Barry gave her a kind smile and his heart was breaking just a little at how delicate she sounded. He didn’t know if it was the soul bond between the two of them but he felt an immense drive to make sure that nothing would spook Alex. He just had to make sure that none of her words would get lost between them, he’d always make sure her voice was heard at least by him. He was also relieved that she had some knowledge on his condition since this would save him from explaining everything from scratch. 

Barry poured some tea for the both of them and started to explain a bit more in the meantime,

“Now this is all speculation from doc’s side but she seems to be under the impression that there is a possibility that all of us in Kevin’s body might actually share a soulmate. We all seem to have a mark correlated to us, however it is just statistically unlikely that we haven’t even met a single one of our soulmates yet so… She seems to think it’s actually just one person. In our little situation, she thinks it’s you who’s the soulmate to all of us. Now-”

“How many?”

Alex had cut him off before he could continue and he looked at her for a moment, unsure if he should answer truthfully, scared it might frighten her too much. Barry sighed, knowing it would cause more harm to lie so he replied,

“24 in total. Kevin is the host, the OG so to speak. The others, me included, came later on and so did the extra marks.”

There was a moment of silence, tense of the unknown. Alex’s mind was going a thousand miles per hour as she tried to grasp the situation at hand. She had met one of her soulmates but it then turned out that it is most likely all of them. She thought that she would be happy but it was all so overwhelming for her to even fully accept. She took a deep breath before she spoke her mind,

“There are 24 marks on me as well, Barry. So I think that Doctor Fletcher might be right. It’s a lot to take in though, I honestly do not know what to say or do or if I should be happy or sad or…”

Her words got caught in her throat and she clamped up once again, unable to verbalize her trail of thoughts fully. Her eyes started darting from Barry to the outside to her mug and to her hands, not sure if she should run or stay. There were so many thoughts and images flashing through her brain that it all just blurred together in a consistent state of movement and screaming. 

Without thinking too much about it, Alex pulled out a piece of paper from her bag along with a pen and jolted down her name and phone number before she grabbed everything and bolted out of the door without uttering a single syllable. She needed to get out, away from the man who would be responsible for every single one of her marks over time. She just couldn’t look at him because deep down, without her even fully realizing it, her heart was slowly starting to beat only for them.

Back at the coffee shop, Barry was dumbfounded, still sitting at the table. This had been the second time that day his soulmate had fled from him but he knew it would cause a lot of harm if he were to go after her this time. He picked up the piece of paper and very carefully put it in his wallet to make sure he wouldn’t lose it. He finished his cup and looked out of the window, trying to soothe the ache in his chest from the very slight rejection he was feeling from the escape of his soulmate. His efforts were in vain however because from somewhere, he could hear Hedwig innocently asking,

“Is she scared of me et cetera?”

Struck By Lightning (Sneak Peak)

Hey my lovelies! I have my promotion exams this next week (immediately after my birthday, hurrah), and as such I havent been posting much (at all). As an apology, here's a little snippet of some idea I've had for a while, let me know what you think.

Its a Barry Allen X Bruce's sister fic

“So,” he says, in that tone of voice that indicates a conversation starter. She makes no movement to acknowledge she even heard him. Undeterred by her silence, he continues. “Maybe we could grab a coffee after this?”

“No.” She says stiffly, certain he wouldn’t dare try to continue the one-sided conversation.

“Maybe not coffee,” he agrees, resting his elbows on the ledge. “It’s a little late for that. Maybe a milkshake then?”

“No.”

“No milkshakes then,” he makes a face at her. “What about-”

“No.” She stresses, keeping her eyes forward. He pauses, watching her for a moment. Now he should be quiet-

“Why?”

Yes, God, why??

She still makes no response, and the Flash inches closer towards her. He straightens and leans towards her, face solemn as he opens his mouth to speak.

“Is it because you’re secretly a vampire?”

The sheer absurdity of his question catches her off guard for just a second, long enough for her to make a face and for him to see it, and he grins in response.

“So if you’re not a vampire, what is it? Why won’t you go on a date with me?”

“You don’t know me,” she relents, her tactic changing from ignoring to dissuading him.

“That’s kinda the point of a date,” he huffs out a laugh, giving her a teasing smile. “It’s almost as if you’ve never been on a date before.”

When she doesn’t reply, the Flash’s mouth actually drops open. She tries to resist shuffling under his gaze.

“Shut up. You’ve never been on a date before? Then let’s change that-”

“You don’t want to date me,” she says, voice soft amidst the loud winds on the rooftop. She sees him reach out for her, and for some reason she lets him get close enough to touch her, to turn her to face him, to pull her a little closer.

“I think that’s up for me to decide,” he replies, a gloved finger brushing across her cheek briefly. She stares up at him, at his blue eyes, and almost forgets how to breathe. He drops his hand, taking a step away from her.

“So coffee?” He asks again, holding her gaze.

“Not tonight,” she says after a long moment, choosing her words carefully. He nods, a grin on his face as he turns back to surveillance, satisfied with her answer.

Sentence || B.A

Barry’s about to be committed for murder, but you can’t let your best friend do that, so you come up with a plan. Characters – Barry x Reader Word Count – 958

‘Ralph, I’m gonna need your help.’ You asked Ralph, he turned to you. ‘With what?’ He quizzed, you held up a bundle of files. ‘Place these into the police complaints file please. Ensure they are in with the correct dates.’ You said as you handed him a folder filed with different files, he looked at you before nodding. ‘Thank you.’ You said, as you started walking away. ‘Y/N, what are you doing?’ He asked you. You turned and smiled at him. ‘Something for everyone.’ You simply told him.

You swung the doors open, walking down the middle of the courtroom, attention drawn to you. ‘Your honour. I have something that’s going to change this case.’ You said loudly, everyone that wasn’t looking at you, were watching you now. ‘What is it miss Y/L/N?’ The judge asked. You opened your mouth but then suddenly an orange light surrounded you. ‘What are you doing?’ Barry asked you as he held your shoulders. ‘How are you doing this?’ You asked him, as you looked around and everything was at a standstill. ‘Something that should have been down.’ You told him. ‘Don’t tell them I’m the flash.’ He said, looking at you with pleading eyes. You placed a hand on his chest and smiled up at him. ‘I’m not.’ You said, before you stepped back away from his grip.

‘Barry didn’t commit this murder.’ You said, the courtroom gave of a mixture of a murmur and sighs. ‘Then who did?’ He asked, fed up with this case stating he never done the crime. ‘I did, your honour.’ You said, and the courtroom erupted into mayhem. ‘Quiet.’ He shouted, hitting the hammer on the desk, the room quietened down. ‘Why did you not say anything earlier?’ The judge asked you. ‘I tried to when the police officers were arresting Barry, but they never listened to me. They were hell bent on arresting Barry.’ You told them, the judge looked at you before nodding. He motioned for you to take the stand, you quickly got into the seat. ‘Tell us what happened.’ He asked, you looked ahead. ‘I was at Barry and Iris’s apartment. We all go there once a month for our annual friend’s movie night, but everyone else were getting food so they were running behind slightly.’ You said, everyone eyes on you. ‘When he barged in, I grabbed a knife to defend myself.’  You told everyone, you noted the journalists writing all this down. ‘Why did you grab a knife?’ He asked you, you looked up at the judge. ‘The complaints I had put in, the past month. I had been getting threats from an anonymous person, saying they were coming to get me and that they knew where I lived.’ You looked at Ralph, he nodded before Iris looked at him. ‘When I realised who it was I placed the knife down on the counter, but as he came in he demanded to see Barry. I told him that he wasn’t here, but he pinned me in the corner.’ You stated truthfully, well to them truthfully. ‘In a wheel chair?’ He asked confused, you shook your head ‘No your honour, he was walking. He reached into his pocket and brung out the murder weapon. He demanded that if I wanted to live I would take him to Barry.’ You said, making yourself tear up slightly. ‘Now being police trained, my instinct kicked in and I defended myself and pushed him away. Then when my back was turned he attacked me from behind. Unfortunately, I killed him in the process.’ You said, a tear running down your cheek, to which you quickly rubbed away. ‘How do you explain him walking?’ The judge asked, you shrugged your shoulders. ‘I don’t know your honour, but in the time frame I know the man, his disease took over his body, much quicker than normal.’ You stated. ‘And you know this how.’ The prosecutor asked, you looked at him. ‘Five years at medical school.’ You stated, not letting him crush you. ‘Are you suggesting something Miss?’ The prosecutor asked, you shook your head. ‘I am not suggestion anything, I am simple stating that at the time we stated talking to him an uprising of meta humans, who had previous contact with him had started popping up.’ You said, the courtroom mumbled again. ‘Quiet, we will take an hour to give the juries time to decide.’ He said, before hitting the hammer down, the cop walked forward and placed cuffs on your wrists and lead you away.

‘We find Miss Y/N Y/L/N guilty of murder.’ The jury said, you sighed in relief as it was you and no one else. The room erupted into multiple sounds, some of shock, disbelief and others of happiness. You looked across and saw Marlize DeVoe, she was staring at you. You had out done her and no she was a step behind on what she planned to do, as you were taking down off the stand you watched as you smiled at her before she stood up and disappeared.

‘You don’t have any powers.’ Barry said, you shrugged. ‘I won’t need them to get through.’ You told them truthfully. ‘Once they find out that you work with the cops.’ Joe said, you smiled slightly. ‘They can only do so much before the guards have to step in.’ You stated truthfully, they all looked at you with worry. ‘Ma’am, it’s time for you to go.’ The guard said, you nodded and stood up. The chains rattling between your legs. ‘We’ll get you out.’ Barry told you. ‘Don’t worry about me. You have bigger things to worry about.’ You told them, you smiled at them before you walked off with the guard.

Pregnancy Belly Part 2

Request: “Can you do a part 2 to pregnancy belly with the flash?”

Ship: Barry Allen x Fem!Reader

Warnings: fluff (LIKE SO MUCH FLUFF, OH MY GOD) angst, swearing, mentions of blood, etc. 

Your P.O.V 

“Breath, (Y/n)! Breath!” I listen to Barry’s soothing voice. I take slower breaths than before, feeling a tiny bit better. But not by much. The nurses push me into my room, hooking me up to hundreds of cords I didn’t understand. Barry maneuvers with them, never letting go of my hand. Though he was fast and flexible he looked awkward dancing around them, like so. When the nurses finished, Barry sat down next to me. He was crying as he held my hand. When he spoke my heart broke. “(Y/n), we’re gonna gonna have a baby.”

He smiled, giggling. I repeat the action and then cower over in pain. He’s at my side, automatically. “I think contractions are starting.” He kissed my head, whispering words of comfort. “It’s gonna be okay.” I take a deep breath, in and out. “Ice..” I huff. Barry looks at me, confused. I continue, sighing in discomfort. “It’ll distract me from the pain.” He nods in understanding, grabbing a bucket. I thank him, shoving a few ice cubes in my mouth. I bite down, trying to focus on the cold instead of the pain. 

“We’re having a baby, (Y/n).” He whispers, smiling. I scoff, rolling my eyes. “I’m having the baby, not you.” Barry laughs loudly and it makes me smile, despite the pain. I couldn’t help but giggle at him. Eventually though, another wave of pain washes over me. I hiss, squeezing Barry’s hand. He kisses it, lovingly. After a few hours and a lot of ice, the baby was coming. I scream in frustration. Barry held me with empathy. He only reached level two of the contraction list. I’m sure he could only imagine the pain I was in. 

Every time I growled or groaned, he winced and bit his nail. “You’re almost there. Just one more push. You can do it, (Y/n).” I listen closely to his coaching, breathing heavily. One last push. I squeezed hard and pushed with all my strength. And then, the pain subsided and there was a new voice that entered the room, crying loudly. I glanced down, sweat dripping from my forehead. I squinted to see the nurse wipe of the baby. My baby. I listed my hands out. “Can I see her?” The nurse nodded, placing the small child into my arms. 

I can’t hold back my tears. She was beautiful. After a few minutes, Barry kneeled down next to me, petting his head. He manages to croak out. “Can I?” Gently, I hand her over to her father. Barry openly cries, kissing the baby before kissing me with so much passion. “We have a baby-girl. I’m a dad...hehehe.” We giggle together. I take the baby, rubbing her head. Barry stands up to hug the nurses and faculty members before running out to see our family and friends. I hear him shout in the hallway. “I’M A DAD!!!” I laughed as he came back in. He was beaming, smiling from ear to ear. “We’re parents..haha. We have a baby...” He whispers, looking between out child and me. I nod, teary eyed. Barry kisses me again. “I love you so much, (Y/n).” I smiled, glancing at our child. “I love you too, Barry.” 

(I hope you liked it!!!)

“No fucking way…”

Those words had just slipped out of Barry’s mouth as he looked at the woman behind him he had most likely just saved from falling on the stairs. A wide grin grew on his face as he stopped walking on the stairs and leaned against the handrailing. He had always been wondering how he’d meet his soulmate, daydreaming up all kinds of unexpected romantic encounters, yet the truth happened to be so simple. Something he never thought would happen with himself, it seemed so uncharacteristic to him yet so poetically fitting. Of course he’d meet them on his way to the place he so desperately hoped would help Kevin, soulmates were supposed to be the ones who would be a companion on one’s life journey. He took it as a sign from the Universe that this was a good thing, a sign that they were on the right path.

The smile on his lips slowly faded away though as he realized that his excitement was most definitely not matched. Alex looked horrified and all the blood had drained from her face as she just stared at the stranger in front of her. Her mind was running as fast as it could, trying to figure out what had just happened, what to say, how to stand, how to speak. And eventually, she could recognize only one thought - ‘Run… Run… I need to run!’

“I have to go, I just remembered that I… have to go.”

She whispered out, looking away from the man. She then quickly turned around and rushed down the stairs and immediately out of the building. The rain had picked up even more and the cold downpour was a welcomed guest to Alex as it cleared her mind just a little bit. She made her way down the street, dodging the people and making sure she didn’t stick out in the crowd. She needed a place to hide herself for just a moment, a tucked away alley or something where she could catch her breath and collect herself. 

Taking a turn to her right, she finally leaned against the wall of what seemed to be a small apartment complex. Her lungs were struggling to calm themselves from both the shock of sudden rushing, and from meeting someone she didn’t think she would ever meet. Her fingers gently rested on her shoulder where his mark was located, the rain creating some white noise for her to just disappear from the world a little bit. Alex just wanted to exist as no one for a moment, give herself that peace of not having to deal with anything. 

Rain fell onto her face and the wind turned her cheeks a bright shade of red but she didn’t notice anything around her. Alex felt her breath calming down to the point where she spent more time in a state of holding her breath than she did actively breathing. This allowed her to very slowly return to reality and she looked up at the sky, allowing the drops to coat her entire face as she tried to go over everything that had happened in the past couple of minutes of her life.

Alex had met one of her soulmates, there was no denying that. She didn’t even catch his name or a good look of his face but from what she could remember, he was a force to be reckoned with. He had a big muscular frame, even though it was hidden by the baggy coat and jeans. He was fashionable, she couldn’t deny that, and the beanie he wore gave her a youthful image. Much younger than his face portrayed, and she had a feeling that underneath the hat, he was fully shaven. And his eyes had been so kind, especially when he had realized that she was his soulmate. She could have sworn she saw them sparkle for a second. 

But Alex couldn’t go back to him, she didn’t want to pass on the pain that he’d have to share her with 23 other people who were still somewhere out there. There were rumors of what happened to those who ignored the connection between soulmates, but she was certain that it must be a lot smaller compared to the agony of someone having to be together with such an attention whore as herself. Alex just couldn’t risk seeing the disappointment of the man’s face. 

With a soft sigh of a held breath leaving her lips, Alex pushed herself to stand from the wall and took out her phone. She sent Doctor Fletcher a short email, saying that she unfortunately has to cancel her appointment and to let her know if she would need to pay for any kind of fee for a no-show since she did cancel at such a short notice. Tension was rising in her body as she knew it was not the most polite thing to do but she couldn’t risk seeing that man once again. She’d just find a new therapist somewhere far away from this place, maybe she could try online therapy instead. 

While pulling her headphones out of her bag, she put them on and turned back onto the busy street. Alex could feel an emptiness in her chest and it was weighing her down, but she just kept walking in the opposite direction to the good doctor’s office. The tears were stinging her eyes, but she just excused it to herself as it was a result of the rain and wind irritating them. It was easier that way for her to accept what she had chosen to do. It was always easier for her to just continue to exist in her current state than to risk any changes.

It was made clear to her that the Universe had other plans for her however because the first person she saw when she finally looked up from her shoes was that man. Her soulmate. It was clear he had been running from his ragged breathing and red face. He smiled at her though and tried to catch his breath as he spoke up,

“There you are, I’ve been running up and down the street like a loon.”

His voice was filled with happiness and the smile on his face never dropped as he swallowed and let out a final big breath. Alex looked up at him, unable to say anything, because the glimmer in his eyes made her heart and stomach erupt into millions of tiny yellow butterflies. She bit her bottom lip hard to make sure she wouldn’t smile back as the man finally introduced himself.

“I’m Barry by the way, and you have no idea how hard I’ve tried to find you.”

‘Barry… sounds cheerful.’

Alex thought to herself before she softly whispered,

“I’m Alex. I…”

She trailed off, unable to actually say that she thought it would be best for them to part ways out loud. No one knew of her numerous soul marks, she was sure even her parents had forgotten the full amount, and part of her had always thought she wouldn’t meet even one of them so she never really thought about how she’d tell them about it. Luckily for her, Barry spoke up once again.

“Listen, I’ve got a feeling we need to talk about some things because I’ve got a couple more marks on me.”

He said those words with such ease as if they were talking about the weather. Alex’s eyes widened and her breath got caught in her chest - he had more marks too? How many did he have? It possibly couldn’t be as many as she did. So many questions ran through her head and she was getting so overwhelmed that she had to dig her fingernails into the palm of her hand to keep herself grounded in the moment. She knew she had to say something, anything, but the best she could do was nod. It was as if her mind and body were refusing her to open her mouth.

Barry could see the amount of anxiety and tension coursing through Alex’s veins and he let out a sad chuckle before he tilted his head and said softly,

“Come, I know a quiet place and don’t worry about Doctor Fletcher. I mentioned to her what happened and she’s more than happy to reschedule with you.”

He somehow had an inkling that Alex would worry about her session and whether or not it would be rescheduled on time so he made sure to run up to his therapist’s office first and give her a short summary of what had happened before he ran after her. It looked like it was the right move on his side as Alex gave him a soft smile and another nod. 

He motioned her to follow him, knowing it would be a bit too forward of him to put his arm around her at that moment. Alex started to walk half a step behind him, still unable to speak, but something in her chest was slowly blooming. Like the first snowdrop popping its head through the cold ground as the first sign of spring.

Falling

Requested by Anon - Can I get #6 on july prompt with Barry Allen? please. Prompt - 6 - ‘When you fall, I’ll always be right there to catch you.’ Word Count - 422 Characters - Barry x Reader

You had been on top of buildings before, either looking at the stars or watching the sunrise, but you had never been on top of a building with a knife pressed into your back, you could say something for definitely, you didn’t want it to happen again. ‘He won’t be able to say you.’ He said into your ear, you tried to contain the shiver that ran up your back, from the distance you could see the red and yellow streak. You sighed slightly but he walked you closer to the edge. Turning his back to it as well. When Barry appeared in front of you, he glanced you over, and then glared at the villain. ‘Let her go.’ Barry said you didn’t see Wally anywhere. ‘No, we aren’t over yet, are we?’ He said into your ear, trailing his lips across it. You noticed the knife faltering behind your back. ‘She has nothing to do with us.’ Barry told him, he chuckled. ‘Oh, that’s where your wrong, she means everything to you.’ He turned and looked off the edge of the building. ‘I wonder what would happen if she was to accidentally fall? He quizzed, stepping back and closer to the edge. Your heart started beating faster and louder, it being the only thing you could hear. ‘I wonder if you could save her and catch me.’ He teased, removing an arm around you, you swallowed. ’Let’s find out.’ He then said pushing you, when you fell over the edge you heard Barry call Wally. Suddenly you knew the meaning of your life flashes before your eyes, remembering all the best parts that happened. Meeting Barry, then Cisco and Caitlin. Finding out Barry was The Flash, your first date, your first kiss. Helping him when Harrison was the reverse flash, you smiled as you were heading towards the ground,

As you were falling backwards, your hair flapping in front of your face, you could hear voices below you getting closer. You closed your eyes and then you felt warm arms around you, you opened your eyes and say Barry, as you touched the ground you fell to your knees, as he balanced you. ‘Oh my god.’ You breathed. Barry brung you in close, whispering in your ear. ‘When you fall, I’ll always be there to catch you.’ He said, you nodded and wrapped your arms around his shoulder and brung him closer. ‘Thank you.’ You said and he pressed a kiss to the side of your head. ‘Always.’ He breathed.

Third P.O.V.

(Y/n) walked into Jitters, avoiding eye contact with everyone in the room as she made her way to the cash register. Sun glasses on, covering her eyes. She wore them all the time. There wasn't a moment where she didn't have them on. She was too afraid to part with them, for she might hurt someone… like… last time.. (Y/n) ordered her drink, grabbing it before slipping into a chair. She couldn't help but feel a pair of eyes watching her.. multiple pairs..? She peered over her shoulder to see three people peel their gaze away from her. (Y/n)’s heart rate quickened. What if they know..?

A few seconds went by before she got up and left the cafe. Footsteps heard from behind, she fastens her pace. Before she could do anything, however, she was swooped up out of know where. It took a few minutes for her to adjust to the rather bright lighting, despite her shades. A yellowish red blur ran past her before stopping. “Hello, (Y/n) (Y/L/N).” Once her eyes adjusted, she brought her hand down from her face only to see three people around her age. A woman with long brunette hair, clean dressed, heels, and a pointed but soft look. A man with long hair, not as long as the woman.

A jean rolled up jacket with a star wars t-shirt, slightly shorter out than the other two. The last man was tall with gorgeous brunette hair, pulled over to the side. His eyes were a deep and bright green. Kinda like hers… Except they didn't hurt people.. When she spoke, she took a step back, obviously shaken up. “Where am I?! Who are you?!” The drop dead gorgeous brunette walked forward while (Y/n) took the same amount of steps back. “I’m Barry Allen. You were affected by the particle accelerator. We’re here to ask for your help.” The woman spoke up, kindly. “We actually want to study you. You seem to possess a rare ability given to you due to the accelerator.”

(Y/n) fiddled with her hands, muttering so quietly it was almost inaudible. “What if refuse?” The other gentleman replied with a warm smile. “Than you can go. And we’ll leave you alone. Well-as long as you don’t terrorize the city-” The woman practically hissed at him. Her glare was terrifying. He cleared his throat, not daring to look at her. “But that’s not gonna happen- I’m Cisco, by the way. And that’s-” pointing to the woman. “Caitlyn.” Barry stepped forward, looking down at me with a warm smile. “We want to help you control your powers. We want to study you and help you. What d'ya say?” (Y/n) bit her lip, swallowing her saliva as she fiddled with her fingers, looking over the room before answering. “I’ll help you. I just want to not be afraid anymore.”

A few weeks past, and already so much has changed in (Y/n)'s life. Slowly but surely, she became more and more comfortable with herself and her new found friends. After work, she would come and test her abilities, which varied. Sometimes she was able to read minds or move things. Other moments, she was able to turn things into stone...like Medusa. Of course, she hadn't shown them that part of her yet. Today was the day she would do it. (Y/n) walked in to Star Labs, hands shaky and heart rate erratic. When she spoke, her voice was a lot softer than intended. “Guys...I have to tell you something..” They stop what they’re doing to look at her. She can barely meet her gaze, looking down at the floor with guilt. Barry walked forward, brows furrowed. “(Y/n), what’s wrong?” 

She pulled three pairs of sunglasses out of her purse, handing them to each other of the members. They looked back at her with a puzzled expression, following (Y/n) into the testing room where Barry usually runs. They stood behind the glass while she stood on the other side, fidgeting with her shades. She picked up glass, placing it on the table in front of her. “Cisco, you asked me when I first came here, why I always wore these shades? You’re about to find out.” Cisco glanced at the other two, excitement coursing through him. “What do you mean?” Caitlyn asked. (Y/n) bit her lip. “You should put on the shades.” They did so, immediately. She closed her eyes, taking a deep breath as she slowly but surely took off her glasses, eyes still closed. 

Her hands were shaking as she set them down on the table. Barry’s body tensed as he watch (Y/n) closely. In all honesty, he begun to fall for her. She was reserved but kind and funny. Cisco and her became the dorkiest friends and she was always so respectful. (Y/n) was beautiful and amazing. He loved her. And in this moment, his heart raised with worry for his beloved. She took another deep breath, slowly but surely opening her eyes. They were a striking green. Not any normal color, more vibrant that usual. The outer layer of her eyes, however, turned black. The longer (Y/n) stared at the glass, the darker her hair got. Eventually, her hair morphed into long striking reptiles. Snakes.

In a matter of seconds, the glass turned to stone. The team backed up with shock. When (Y/n) saw their expressions, she broke down, tearing her eyes away from them. Slowly, she turned back into herself. She kneeled on the floor, trying to maintain her breathing pattern, shutting her eyes. Barry flashed in, worry washing over him. “(Y/n), are you okay?!” She nodded, not daring to make eye contact with him. “My glasses..” In a matter of seconds, her glasses were in his hands. Barry gently slipped them on her face, wrapping his hands around her cheeks as she adjusted and opened her eyes. He rubbed his thumb against her cheek, soothingly. Caitlyn and Cisco ran in, standing over them. “I’m a monster..” (Y/n) said, looking down. 

Barry shook his head. “No, you’re not. We’re gonna figure this out. I promise. It’s gonna be okay.” Cisco nodded. “That was awesome. I was thinking your superhero name would be-” (Y/n) spoke up. “Medusa.” Caitlyn nodded, smiling. “That works.” After that moment, things seemed to change within Barry. It was though he looked at her differently. Not that he didn't love her, in fact, he fell more in love with her. The myth of Medusa was as tragic of a story as any. She was cursed to turn every man she ever loved to stone for the rest of her life. She would no longer love and possess the amount of happiness she had prior. He looked at (Y/n) with pity but with hope. He would love her no matter what. It didn't matter to Barry that she was able to do what she could do. He loved her. 

A few weeks past and (Y/n) was already getting use to her powers. She was actually able, reluctantly for Barry, to join the team on some missions. He always wanted to protect her out in the field even though he knew she could hold her own, probably hold her and Barry’s own. But that didn't stop him from keeping a careful eye on her. That morning, (Y/n) came in, greeting Cisco and Caitlyn as per usual. A few seconds later, Barry flashed in, hugging (Y/n) around the waist, pecking her head before leaving her to work. Their relationship, with was categorized as strictly friends, seemed to be, from Caitlyn, Cisco, Iris, Wally and Joe’s point of view, to be rather romantic. They all shipped it. 

They both, loved and hated, the long stares and small smiles that came from either one of the two. It was adorable. Although nobody could visually see (Y/n)’s eyes through her shades, they knew there was a look of pure adoration for him. And visa versa. Barry always glanced at her, smiling to himself. Little did (Y/n) know, Barry looked at her as if she were his world. And in all honesty, she was. She meant everything to him. And she thought the same for him. Every time (Y/n) glanced in his direction, memories of how they met flooded through her head. She was so nervous then and he was so very open and loving, even if they didn't know each other. She always loved how kind he could be. But when she met him, deep down, she knew she’d fall hard and fast for him. 

Later that evening, Barry, Cisco and Caitlyn sat at their chairs working. Cisco and Barry glanced at one another, smiling. They get up from their chairs, standing anxiously across from you. “You guys, okay?” (Y/n) asked as they fiddled with their fingers. Barry spoke first. “So, Cisco and I made you something-” Cisco interjected. “-Actually I made it-” Barry bud in. “-But it’s was my idea-” Cisco rolled his eyes, huffing before Barry continued. “-Okay, so. Cisco and I got you a present- well made you something.” They handed the small box over to (Y/n), beaming like kids on Christmas. “We were thinking you could wear them tonight for the trivia thing at Jitters.” Barry said, blushing. 

(Y/n) took the box, brows furrowed. Caitlyn leaned forward, paying close attention to the situation about to unfold. She opened up the little box, glancing at her two friends before unwrapping it. (Y/n) gasped, jaw dropping. It was a pair of contacts and a ear bud set. Barry explained, excitedly. “Once you put on the contacts, with the ear bud, you’re able to control when you want to use your powers and when you don’t. So now, you don’t have to wear those shades. I mean- you can if you want- not saying you don’t look good in them- because you do-” He began to sputter. (Y/n) smiled softly. “Thank you.. This means- this means the world to me..” She hugged Cisco and Barry, tightly. Cisco grinned. “Also, we tested it, so it does, in fact, work.” (Y/n) bit her lip to stop her from crying. She managed to croak out another simple thank you, showing them to Caitlyn excitedly. 

Later that evening, (Y/n) picked out her outfit, getting dressed and everything before taking out the box of contacts and ear piece. Hands shaky, she put them on, taking a deep breath before riskily looking into the mirror. For the first time since the incident, she saw her eyes. Her real eyes. (Y/n) couldn't help but gasp. She looked beautiful...stunning even. Everything about her looked phenomenal. She did a quick spin before heading over to Jitters. It was the first time she drove without her shades. Everything was so bright and alive. (Y/n) couldn't help but smile, grin even. She pulled up to Jitters, heart racing. This would be the first time she could see clearly. The first time anyone saw her eyes.. Eyes that told showed a painful story. She waited for everyone to get in, taking deep, nervous breaths. 

After a few minutes, she hopped out of her car, slowly but surely making her way up to the front door. Swinging it open with a loud cling, she felt the rooms eyes on her. She kept her eyes low, down to the ground for the first few seconds before looking at the overly packed room. Each one of their eyes was on her. She felt somewhat uncomfortable under their gaze but on the other hand, she felt strong. She knew she could over come anything. As long as she had help. (Y/n) took a deep breath, reluctantly forcing her head up to look for Barry, Cisco, Caitlyn, Iris and Joe. After a few seconds, her eyes finally found Barry, who’s jaw was dropped practically to the ground. She smiled shyly, making her way towards the group. 

All of them looked at her with awe, amazement. Especially Barry. He stood up from his seat, watching her come near. She was gorgeous... Absolutely stunning. Barry swore she took his breath away. She were vibrant and alive. She reflected her eyes. Her real eyes. When (Y/n) walked up to the group, she couldn’t help but look up at Barry. It was almost like they had a glint to them. Barry’s heart soared, achingly. Caitlyn and Cisco smiled. “You look beautiful, (Y/n).” She blushed, fiddling with her fingers. Eddie and her shook hands, first time introductions. Iris complimented her, grinning as she looked between her and Barry. 

“You look amazing, (Y/n). Doesn't she Barry?” After a few seconds, he reluctantly peeled his eyes away from her to look at Iris and Felicity, confused. “What?” She motions to (Y/n). “Doesn't she look nice, Barry?” He swallowed the build up of saliva, nervously. “Yeah, she looks-” He pauses, blushing slightly as their eyes met. “-She looks- absolutely stunning.” (Y/n) blushed the most at Barry’s comment. After a second or two, he stumbled to pull a chair out for her, making sure she sat next to him. He nervously played with his fingers. “You ready for trivia?” He whispered into her neck, driving unplanned for shivers to make it’s way onto her skin. She whispered back, having the same effect on Barry. “Absolutely. I was born ready.” He couldn't help but smile. 

After the trivia game, Barry decided to walk (Y/n) home. He loved being in her company. She always had the most amazing thoughts. As did he. They could honestly and genuinely talk for hours. In fact, they did. As they pulled up to her house, with a good pep talk from the gang, especially Cisco, Barry decided to take a chance. He took a deep breath, gulping nervously. “Uhh- (Y/n)-” She peered over her shoulder, smiling softly. “Yes, Barry?” In that moment, his heart was beating faster than ever before. “(Y/n)- I- I was wondering- if you- uh- maybe- wanna- go out sometime? With me? I mean-” (Y/n) grinned, tucking her hair behind her ear before making her way down the steps. The second she got their, she grabbed Barry’s collar and killed him. 

(HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH, I’m just kidding. Here’s what really happened) 

The second she got to the last step, she laced her fingers around Barry’s collar, pulling him into a deep and passionate kiss. Barry being, well- Barry, it took him a minute to register the situation but in no time, he kissed back with just as much love and fire as she did. They moved in unison, Barry gripped (Y/n)’s waist, smiling into the kiss. Her hands played with the tip of his locks, running through his hair. He moaned, not even bothered by the fact that their could be others watching. As they released, she couldn't help but blush under his gaze. “Does that answer your question?” He nodded, kissing her once more before happily skipping home. The second (Y/n) closed her doors, she leaned against it, pressing her fingers to her lips at the sweet memory of Barry’s lips on top of hers. He loved her.. And she loved him..
