Trouble Again *CONTINUATION* (Sequel to On the Edge of love)

This and That

Oliver's POV

It's been days and nothing! No sign of either of the ratbags. Urghhh my eyes burn, how does Felicity sit at the computer all day and not gain a serious eye impairment. Oh Felicity, strong, smart and absolutely terrifying. I mean the speech she gave " enough muscle to tear you limb from limb and not leave a scratch on either of them"
Yikes! And no doubt she'd be joining the beat down of those two criminals but still. I'm on the naughty list a lot and even I was scared. She loves Barry, heck we all do. Barry is family and lord knows so is the rest of the team, whether I'm a personal favourite of Joe and Dr.Wells or not I care about them. Barry and Iris deserve a break, they deserve to be happy. They deserve a WEDDING. What is wrong with the world and why can't it give them a break! Right okay my eyes are now on fire and I'm seeing three of the scanning monitor in front of me. Maybe I can close my eyes for a few minutes and just rest them. But I swear, even with burning eyes I will find those two and they will be stopped!

Iris' POV (Just after the encounter)

After the fright of Alex and Patrick showing back up and the confrontation that happened, I could feel Barry shake against me. His tears, the vomiting, his frame shaking and sweaty. He grasped his stomach as he hurled. Felicity had done a great thing by standing up to them. God knows he wouldn't want anyone but family seeing him like this. It kills me, he's terrified and all because of her! Barry killed her and I don't think he's even processed that with everything else going on. Oh god I feel sick. Barry has been desperately trying to protect me and where have I been? A shuddering mess, I stood today and I should have done it a while ago but .... now is not the time for this Iris!!
Grabbing Barry I decide its time we lay down. Vomiting has always taken a toll on him and selfish as it may seem I need to hold him right now. My Barry. My love. My soon to be husband.
Okay so think Iris, room to lay down in. Room to lay down in. Get him to that room and make sure that he doesn't collapse on the way. I lead him out into the hallway and to the left, opening the first door I found and luckily for me it has a bed.
" lay down baby" I whisper " you need to rest"
Barry doesn't answer me with words but slowly moves to the bed and settles onto it, opening his arms for me, I lay down and soak in the warmth he radiates.
Oh my poor lover. Even with super speed he's slow and shaking after the encounter. I wonder what's going through his head. But I know not to speak yet. I've known Barry long enough to know he needs to rest. So snuggling into his chest and look at that he's already asleep, I drift off to sleep with my arms wrapped around his waist and my heart beating his name in my chest.

Joe's POV

For the love of all that is holy would they leave the kids alone?! I mean seriously, how many people are going to come back from the past. You know what, next one that does, I'm shooting. I look at the team, tired and stretched thin not to mention worried out of their minds. What does this one want? The question we all keep asking and have no answers to.
I glance at Oliver, despite my reservations I'm glad he's here. Barry likes him and to be honest it's nice to have the extra help and protection. The scanners are going, three days and nothing, it's like they disappeared into thin air. How? Oh geez let that not be their power or we're done for. The team are resting or doing various tasks to keep them occupied, Iris and Barry have barely left the room they've been in except for food and honestly I get it. Barry is terrified and Iris is too. They need their space and I need a vacation. Oliver rests his head on the table and I chuckle lowly. We need to sleep but that luxury has been evading us since the Simmer brothers came round. Its not going to be easy but let's hope that we catch them soon, with a wedding to plan and Barry and Iris healing properly. The simmer brothers have no place here. I'm going to protect my family. My whole family - why is cisco giggling at his phone? - oh well. A few moments shut eye cant hurt. And besides with my loaded service weapon, the Green Arrow and Felicity's fierceness, we should be okay for a bit.
