Struck Twice ♡ Barry Allen/The Flash

Emotions Everywhere

Barry and I took a minute to process Oliver actually shot us. And boy did it hurt like hell. But we still had to go back to the Station. Eddie said he needed to talk to me about something. And Barry was gonna go so he could talk to Joe. Then afterwards Joe would talk to me about something. I have no idea what either will talk to me about. I'll still go anyways.

Barry and I kept silent, just mumbling a small 'are you okay' to one another. We both responded with 'fine' and left it at that.

Walking into the Station, we both saw Eddie in an intense conversation with Captian Singh in Captain Singh's office. My face scrunched up in realization. The last they looked like that, Eddie was complaining to Captain about the Flash.

"Crap." I muttered to myself.

"Hey, what's up?" Barry asked Joe as Barry saw it too.

"Eddie's making his case for the task force again." Joe explained as he gathered papers

"But I thought the Captain shut him down already." Barry said.

Joe sighed before answering. "Well, apparently he's got a new argument. Speaking of, Desitny-" Joe looked at me, I looked back at him, "-Eddie wants you in there."

I groaned in annoyance but did as told. I knocked on the door, and their heads shot my way. If it were anyone else, they would've been dead. How can I tell? They thought at first I was someone else interrupting their conversation. But they realized once they saw it was me.

Captain and Eddie cocked their head, telling me to come in.

"You're late." Eddie mumbled to me.

"Sorry, I was-" I had a quick flashback to being shot with an arrow, ".....held up."

"I was told Ms. Parker, you are here to-"

"-to back me up, because that's what partners do." Eddie interrupted and looked me dead in the eye. I gulped, tension filling the air.

If I help him, that's not helping Barry! What the hell do I do? Choose Eddie? Or Barry? My partner in crime? Or my partner in....crime crime? Meaning Barry. 

"Yes." I replied, slowly, dragging the word.

"So you've seen him." Captain said, crossing his arms.

"No, but like Eddie, I know what crime scenes he has visited and places he has fought other meta-humans." I correct.

"What the hell are meta-humans?" They both ask.

"There people like this streak, they were given special abilities by what I believe what was the Particle Accelerator explosion." I should really stop talking. I'm so screwed. Why am I still talking?! "Think about it, everything starting with the Mardon brothers to the streak, all of this happened after the explosion. Hell, someone even who was confirmed dead was-I mean is now confirmed alive!"

Eddie seems satisfied with what I have said, but Captain.....his face kept a blank expression. Which scared me. After a while, he sighed. Me and Eddie were glancing at each other, constantly, not sure whether we were screwed or not.

"I'll think about it, for now, go back to work."

We left his office and Eddie actually hugged me when we walked out.

"Thank you thank you thank you!" He exclaimed, hugging me and rocking me. I was taken back a bit but hugged him back.

"Your welcome." I cringed, knowing I'm so screwed for saying all of that in there.

"I knew I could depend on my partner. Well, one of my partners. Joe isn't so helpful." Eddie said, letting me go.

"I wonder why." I said, rolling my eyes, hoping Eddie didn't catch me doing so. "Anyway,  gotta go. Glad I helped."
