Hidden Away Until Now (Barry Allen is Sebastian Smythe)

14| Something's Off With You

Walking into a dark warehouse room, not knowing what to expect. Sounds fun, right? Wrong. Sebastian had never enjoyed dark, big, empty rooms, since the Reverse-Flash killed his and Barry's mom. He needed to be strong though, Eiling would not respond to weakness. Hunter grasped his hand tightly. "No matter what, my darling speedster, we do this together," Hunter whispered.

Sebastian kissed his boyfriend's head. "I'm holding you to that, Holter," He turned back to the center of the room. "Eiling! Come out, we need to talk to you!" There was no answer, just complete silence, and darkness.

They heard a rustling sound. "I was beginning to think that you were just going to guess what I wanted," Eiling said, walking out of the darkness. Two soldiers stood behind him.

Sebastian felt Hunter grip his hand harder. "We have something that might interest you, General. We wanted to make sure that this was what you wanted, so you don't kill our friends or smash that antidote."

Eiling laughed. "You're quite brilliant, Mr. Smythe. You are exactly on point, I would kill your friends and smash the antidote." He rubbed his hand together. "What do you have for me?"

Sebastian stepped forward and let go of Hunter's hand. He showed a picture of the time sphere's power source to Eiling. "This was created to send the Reverse-Flash back to the future, the power source is massive and could supply a lot of power to your weapons," He said, handing the photo to Eiling, who studied it.

Sebastian backed up and pulled Hunter's hand into his. The hand was cold and shaking. "Dang,  Hunt, your hand is like ice," He whispered to Hunter, who looked dazed.

Hunter seemed to snap out of it. "What? I don't know why." The warmth from Sebastian's own hand warmed Hunter's and it stopped shaking. Hunter's eyes moved to Sebastian and he leaned his forehead on Sebastian's. "I love you, no matter what."

Sebastian smiled, his breath was warm on Hunter's face. "I bet you do," He said. "But I love you, too, no matter the cost."

"Well, wasn't that lovely?" Eiling said, tiredly. Sebastian and Hunter's heads snapped up, they had forgotten there were other people in the room with them.

"Sorry, sir," Hunter said, meekly.

Eiling shrugged and tossed the picture back at Sebastian. "Eh, no matter. That will do fine, Mr. Smythe. Captain, you have until the end of the week." And with that, Eiling turned on his heel and stalked away, back into the darkness.

Sebastian folded the picture and stuffed it in his pocket. "That was fun," He said, dryly, his left eye twitching. "Now, let's see if Kurt and Blaine want to double date tonight. Tomorrow, we finalize our plan, sound good?" He stared at Hunter, who was still watching the spot where Eiling had stood like he was expecting something to pop up and attack them.

Hunter nodded slowly, and then looked up. "Yeah, that does. Well, my darling bad boy, speed us home."

Sebastian shook his head. "Are you ever going to get over that?" He muttered as he wrapped his arms around Hunter. He started running with their apartment in mind, hoping that Blaine and Kurt would be free.

----------

Blaine and Kurt walked into a restaurant, wearing suits. Sebastian had called them three hours prior and asked if they were free. They'd said yes. They were visiting Lima at the moment and had no plans. Sebastian told them to meet him and Hunter halfway at a fancy restaurant between Central City and Lima. It was a twenty-minute drive from Lima, and Kurt had asked Blaine why he thought Sebastian wanted to see them. They'd learned to read Sebastian well, searching constantly for something wrong in his body language. Kurt had especially grown close to him, they met for coffee a lot now. Just the two of them, alone in the Lima Bean or wherever Kurt was. He had no idea how Sebastian made it to all those places as soon as Kurt texted him where he was.
