Struck Twice ♡ Barry Allen/The Flash

Close Call

"This is a bullet wound." Caitlin stated as she patched up Barry, "You're lucky it just barely broke the skin."

"Guess I'm a lot faster than a speeding bullet." Barry says. But I can't help but glare at him.

The bullet wound was on the back of his neck, if he slipped up for even just a second--he wouldn't be here right now. He wouldn't be smiling like he is right now. But I decided it was best to keep my mouth shut, considering I knew exactly why they didn't call me. Because, of course--they were being cautious, knowing Barry and I aren't on the best terms as of right now.

"Shawna Baez." Barry said aloud as Dr. Wells strolled over to us. "She can teleport."

My glare instantly dropped, teleport?

Caitlin turned to Barry again, "As in Beam me up, Shawna?" To which Barry shrugged at.

"Yes of course." Dr. Wells began, "Quantum entanglement; the ability to manipulate interconnected particles over an infinite distance. Or, as Einstein put it, spooky action at a distance."

Standing up now and fully patched up, Barry said, "Everytime I got close she'd disappear. It was like we were playing a game of--"

"Peek-a-boo!" Caitlin exclaimed, smiling at her nickname for the new meta-human. She looked over to me with a pout, "Come on, can't I name one?"

"Aww, look at Cute Caity trying to learn." I said as I hugged her arm and rested my chin on her shoulder, then I looked over to her. "And failing miserably," I added. Making her frown while making me chuckle.

"How am I supposed to catch her, if I don't know where she's gonna be?" Barry continued on, ignoring Caitlin and I now.

"Everybody has limits, Mr. Allen. Now that we know Shawna's powers, we'll focus on those limits." Dr. Wells stated as he left the room.

"Alright. Let me know. I'm gonna change. I gotta go help Iris." Barry also began to leave the room.

I let go of Caitlin's arm to look her dead in the eye, "And please, let me know too, next time." She nodded understandably. And that was all I needed before speeding off.

"Come on loser! It'll be fun." Amalia snapped.

I sighed, preparing to reject her offer for the fourth time. "Honestly Molly, I don't really feel like going out tonight. In fact, Eddie and I were planning on watching a movie tonight. We rented a couple the other night from Redbox." Molly growled. She really didn't want to take no for an answer right now.

"I can't believe you'd rather chill at Eddie's house and hang out with HIM and dO NOTHING like a loser instead of being out at the bar with Jesus and I on karaoke night!" I stayed quiet, so she continued on. "Destiny...there could be cute guys there.."

Well shit, I see what she's doing there.

"No no no Molly, I'm not ready to put myself back out there-"

"Yeah yeah yeah I know, sorry--that was just my back up back up excuse if you still said no."

After ending my call with Amalia, I called Eddie as I continued my walk back home--well Eddie's I should say. It was late at night, the sky was a deep indigo.

My call was immediately denied, and as I go to press the call again button, I receive a text from the devil himself.

teddie- Sorry, forgot to mention I've got plans with Iris tonight.
