The Fastest Man Alive: The Flash by Alex

Chapter 8

Cisco entered the med bay a few minutes after Caitlin and Barry entered and smiled when he saw Caitlin and Barry sleeping on the same bed, huddled together.

'If that's not proof that they like each other, then I don't know what it is,' Cisco thought and grinned. He discreetly took several photo of them.

"I would like you to send me copies of these photos," Henry said quietly, startling Cisco.

"Sorry. Did you want to talk to Barry about his speech?" Henry whispered, and Cisco nodded.

"Okay. Tell me about your conversation later, okay?" Henry said and left.

Cisco knocked lightly and saw Barry open his eyes instantly and look at Cisco.

"Sorry. Did I wake you up?" Cisco asked quietly, and Barry shook his head slightly.

"No. Just thinking about what happened in those few days. Seems impossible," arry whispered to his friend.

"Yeah. Like the fact that she managed to fall asleep," Cisco said, looking at Caitlin.

"Yeah. He really did a number on her, but she feels comfortable enough, at least to sleep," Barry whispered, looking at Caitlin.

"In your arms?" Cisco asked with a grin. Barry looked at Cisco with raised eyebrows.

"When will you tell her?" Cisco asked with a grin.

"What are you talking about?" Barry asked.

"Barry, I may be obvious, but I'm not dumb or blind. From the moment Caitlin was taken, your behavior has changed. You worked harder than ever before to bring Zoom down and get her back. Your communication a few minutes ago, the fact that you are hugging in bed right now, all your glances and small touches seem to prove that you two like each other. So I'll ask again. When will you tell her?" Cisco said, looking Barry in the eye. Barry sighed.

"After we bring Zoom down. First, we will defeat Zoom and his army, and then I will tell her about my feelings."

"And we will defeat him, because 'the Universe is with us', right?" Cisco said, referring to Barry's speech.

"Cisco, I know what it sounds like, like I'm unbreakable, untouchable, invincible, but I'm not that. Zoom proved it when he broke my back and then took Caitlin and my speed. If I were really invincible I would just ran to the CCPD to rescue Caitlin without a plan as soon as I get back from the Speed ​​Force. But I know that would be suicide."

"So this whole speach was for ...?"

"To gave us some optimism in our shitty situation," Barry said.

"Okay. Because we started to worry that your time in Speed ​​Force made you think that you are the invincible God of Speed. The last part just came to my mind, but you know what I mean," Cisco said, and Barry nodded.

"Could you tell the others about my speech? It will save a lot of time not explaining the same thing to everyone in this building."

"Sure. I'll leave, now you both need to rest," Cisco said as he exited the med bay.

"Thanks, Cisco, and you rest too. You deserved it."

After that Cisco left and, as promised, told others. Henry went to the med bay and saw that Barry and Caitlin were asleep. He went up to them, covered them with a blanket and went to bed.

Surprisingly, nothing happened overnight.

Barry wakes up at 9 am and when he looks down, he sees that Caitlin is still asleep. Barry just lay there and watched Caitlin sleep peacefully. After a few minutes, she stirred, opened her eyes and met Barry smiling at her.
