Nyx // B. Allen

I couldn't handle it anymore. The lies that Barry constantly tells me; the whizzing off at random times of day, the hushed urgent phone calls leading to said running off. I groan and roll over in our bed, thinking about everything. Barry asked me to move in with him almost 18 months ago and I still haven't met his dad, or his Foster dad. I asked him if anyone at work knows that he's dating someone and he said no. He hasn't told anyone.

The worst part about when he said it was that he brushed it off like it was normal, like I was a side piece that didn't mean anything to him. We tell each other "I love you" and sleep in the same bed, and live in the same goddamn apartment and none of his family or close friends or coworkers know I exist. Everyone in my life knows that Barry and I are dating, but no one in his life knows about me. It breaks my heart more than I think he realises. I get up and look myself over in the mirror in the corner of our bedroom.

"I look like a broken doll." I mumble and chuckle bitterly to myself.

I shake my head and get ready to cause some chaos. One thing Barry doesn't know about me: I'm a metahuman. For the last 6 months, I've been getting my run of the spotlight from The Flash, since he obviously hasn't figured out a way to get me into cuffs, or else he would have taken me in by now. I pick out a long leather trench coat, a crimson tank top with thin little straps, my black jeans and combat boots. I go to my dresser and pick up a necklace that Barry bought me after the particle accelerator explosion 10 months ago. I frowned and thought, before I clasped it around my neck.

Barry told me that it was just a small gesture, but it had great emotional significance to me. JA & BA. Was engraved into the back of the rose gold half-moon necklace, it was situated on a thin chain of matching colour. I twirled it around in my fingers and picked up the mask I used when I wanted to cause chaos, maybe that's why Flash hasn't caught me yet. It was just a masquerade eyemask that I bought a few Halloweens ago, it had gold around the eyes that fades into the black edges. I never wore the same outfit twice when I went out as Nyx or when I went out as Jupiter.

Barry and I had been cuddling in bed when his phone started ringing and he had to run somewhere, leaving me alone for the last hour and a half. I decided I'd just leave him a note that I went to Jitters or something. I walked into the kitchen to write Barry a note so he wouldn't worry.

Hey, B.
Just went to Jitters for some java and food. Won't be too long!
-J xx

Satisfied with the note I left it on the kitchen counter and headed out, locking our door behind me. I never carry a purse or my phone with me when I go out as Nyx, nothing I could drop and could be traced back to me. I don't even have much on my keyring, a couple of tassels, navy blue and yellow, and a couple of other keys for various other things. I tucked them into the pocket of my leather coat and started out of our building, headed towards downtown Central City.

I got to almost the centre of downtown CC and chose my place. I walked out into the middle of an intersection, making all traffic stop and honk their horns at me.

"Get out of the road, bitch!" A guy yelled out the window of his car.

I glared up at him, my eyes looking completely white on the outside but I could see perfectly fine from where I stood. I raised my hands to my sides, the earth beginning to shake and crack. I smirked at the man who had yelled at me before a gust of wind and a red blur took him and all the other honking drivers from the immediate surrounding area. Lightning crackled behind me and wind rushed past me, my hair being sent flying forwards and slightly into my vision. I blew it out of my eyes and turned to the metahuman Central City called its "protector".

"Flash." I drawled.

"Nyx." He said, warning evident in his voice, all too aware that I could bring down every apartment block and office building in a 10-block radius in a matter of seconds.
