Running on Water: The Flash

chapter 20

I woke up to the sound of my alarm clock ringing loud as hell right next to my ear. I stuck out my hand to turn it off, but couldn't find the off button and evidently drop it off the nightstand. "Uh, you've got to be kidding me!" I reached for the plug in the wall and just disconnected the clock entirely. I sit up in my bed and look around the room and I saw someone standing in the door way. It scared me so bad I fell off the bed, I look at who it is rubbing my head. "Are you insane! You scared the crap out of me, next time Mr. Allen before you walk in on someone sleeping, knock!" "Sorry, just your alarm clock went off like three times and I was going to turn it off because well that is one heck of an alarm clock." "Well, when you have an alarm clock with the ringtone of a school fire alarm, its pretty loud." "You're telling me, now hurry up. I'm making breakfast." "You, make breakfast, this I've got to see, I'll be right down."

Barry walked out the door shutting it behind him. I got out of bed a little woozy, I walked to the end of my bed and grabbed some sweat pants, putting them over my shorts and a Disneyland sweater. I put on my moccasin slippers and walked out the down. I walked into the kitchen smelling the delicious food and I could see Magi sitting at the island watching Barry and Joe make breakfast, but the way she was watching it looked like she was going to make the food levitate towards her because it smelled that good. The window was open and the cool air hit my face and I felt a bit dizzy. "Barry." I said in a loud enough whisper for him to turn around. More cold air hit my face and I fell to the ground, Barry ran at me catching my head before it hit the ground. He carried me to the couch laying me down. "Liz, are you ok?" I didn't answer, he put the back of his hand on my cheek and then on my forehead. He ran away then came back with a thermometer and a wet towel. He took my temperature and it read 102˚F, he took the wet towel and put it on my forehead.

I started coming to, "Awe, I feel like I was thrown into a volcanoe." "You're at 102, you have a fever. How did you get sick?" "I walked home yesterday, in the rain." "Why didn't you ask me to take you?" "Man, I'm stupid, it must have slipped my mind. How are you not sick?" I asked pointing to Magi. "I dunno, but hey look on the bright side you get to have the cutest guy attend to your side until you get better." I looked into Barry's green eyes, "she's right, I do have the cutest guy." He kissed my forehead and got up and walked to the cabinet grabbing some cough drops and some cold medicine.

"Here, drink this." I looked at what was in his hand, he was holding a little plastic cup with a red liquid in it, I knew exactly what it was. "Oh hell no! I hate that stuff." "Its the only way you're going to get better, c'mon you have to drink it." "Not if its frozen." "What do you mean?" I turned my hand into a fist freezing the cold syrup in the cup and in the bottle. "Really?" He asked with a look of annoyance on his face, he looked towards Magi. "Do you mind un-freezing it?" "Uh uh, when she says no, she means no, besides she's just going to freeze it again." He looked back at me, "what am I supposed to give you then?" "You can give me gengibre (hen-heevre)." "Whats gen- what ever you said." "Its ginger-ale." "And you couldn't have said it in english, what language was that anyway?" "Spanish." "You speak spanish?!" Barry asked extremely surprised his eyes were the size of bowling balls. "Yes I do and you obviously do not because you didn't take a single language in high school." "But, but, you don't look like a-" "Like a Salvadorian, Barry just because I don't have the classic features doesn't mean I'm not proud of my culture, now go make me my ginger!" I said pointing to the kitchen, he gave me his signature 'fine' look and he walk to the kitchen. "Three, two, one." I said quietly to myself. Right when I finished on ''one'' he popped his head around the counter.

"How exactly do you make ginger-ale?" "Of course, Magi if you will please." "Sure, as long as I get some too." "Fine, you can have some of my gengivre." "Yay, ok Barry, you're going to need a couple things first. Ginger, of course, lemon, organic honey and water." Barry turned to Joe who was sitting at the dinner table eating breakfast with his coffee reading the newspaper. "Joe, did you get all that?" "Yes I did and we only have lemons, so someone's going shopping." Barry zoomed out of the room and was back with a big bottle of honey and two big pieces of ginger. "Barry come here." I said sitting up on the couch. He walked over with the stuff he just bought. "Ok, let me see." I gestured my hands for him to give me the ginger and honey. I looked at the ginger making sure it was a good piece and it wasn't damaged or anything, I nodded my head in approval. I looked at the bottle of honey then handed them back and he went to the kitchen with Magi to make my tea.

Barry came back with a mug with a light tan colored liquid. I brought it up to my nose and took a deep breath in. "Ahh, that smells good." I took a sip and felt the warm liquid pass my throat and felt it warm my body, I was about to get comfortable in the couch when Barry's phone rang. "Really, I was just getting comfortable, alright let me get changed." "What, no! You're staying inside until you get better." "Fine, but at least take me to Star Labs to monitor that you stay safe, oh and take Magi." "What, me?" Magi said perking her head up when she heard her name. "Yes you, now make sure you don't get him killed." "May I remind you that he's 25 and can take care of himself and I'm 15 and still can't even beat the dog with getting back my shoe." "Just go!" I said grabbing my blanket from the couch.

We were in Star Labs in seconds, I was still in my sweats and I had a blanket around me. Barry set me down on a hospital bed and handed me my ginger tea. He quickly changed into his suit and Magi changed into hers and Barry and Magi ran of right as Caitlin and Cisco walked in. "Liz! Are you ok?!" Caitlin asked walking up to me with a worried look. "Cait, I'm fine, I'm just sick." "I have some cold medicine if you want to-" "NO!" "Ok then." Caitlin back upped and went around the desk to watch the monitors. "Hey dude, whatcha got there?" Cisco asked gesturing to the mug in my hands. "Gengivre." "Oh, that stuff is amazing, and it tastes so good." Cisco said knowing exactly what it was.

"Guys, we might have a problem." Barry spoke through the ear piece. "Barry, what is it?!" Caitlin asked leaning towards the mic. "Our meta isn't a meta, its an android." When I heard android one thing popped into my mind. The android created by Professor Ivo, Amazo.
