Bittersweet Love

14. Longing For Love

"Man I still can't believe that he is a hybrid. I thought Oliver seized all the mirakuru." Cisco commented.

"Yeah, I have been trying to reach Oliver but he is not in Starling at the moment." Barry informed.

"But how did he get his hands on mirakuru?" Caitlin asked.

"Johnathan Lawrence." Joe answered as he walked into the cortex, waving a file in his hand.

"What does Lawrence have to do with all this?" Barry questioned.

"Apparently Sebastian Blood knew that Slade Wilson would interfere with his plans so Blood gave a sample of mirakuru to Lawrence."

"Of course! That DNA sample was mirakuru." Caitlin recalled.

"You guys designed a cure for Felicity right, so you must have the cure." Barry reasoned.

"No we don't. Felicity hacked into our database and removed all the findings regarding mirakuru." Cisco responded.

Barry huffed in frustration. "Alright," he ran his hand through his hair. "I will see what I can find about him with his DNA. Keep trying to contact Felicity and Oliver." Barry instructed before whooshing out.

Caitlin huffed at the current events. "I need some caffeine." She announced, getting up from her chair.

"Hey, hey, hey! You promised that you would go with me to meet Sue." Ralph argued, stopping her way.

She frowned in shock. "Umm no, I never promised you anything."

"Well not you exactly, but Frosty did." He explained.

"You did what?!" Caitlin yelled out loud to Frost.

'Sorry, I was half drunk.' Frost shrugged.

"But I don't want to go! I want coffee." Caitlin turned back to Ralph and whined.

"We can go to Jitters, I can tell her to meet there." Ralph excitedly answered.

"I don't like being a third-wheel." Caitlin murmured while Ralph dragged her along as Cisco gave her the look of pity.

Barry heard a small knock on his door while he worked on a case. He stood up surprised seeing the person.

"Iris, hi." He greeted awkwardly.

Iris lightly smiled at him and walked over to his desk. Since their break, they didn't really speak to each other much. Barry created as much space between them as possible to help her make her mind. Iris was busy conquering her own decisions that she didn't have a proper conversation with anyone since a couple of days.

"Barry, I know things between us are...tense, but I needed a favour from you." She nervously spoke.

"What is it?" Barry frowned in worry.

"I want to bring back the old Eddie." She bluntly answered.

"I don't understand." Barry shook his head.

"I want to 'fix' him for the lack of a better word. I want him to be what he was. I don't want him to be Godspeed, I want him to be Eddie." Iris explained.

"Iris, I don't think what you are saying is even possible." Barry said stunned.

"Barry, you were struck by lightening and survived. You are the fastest man alive. Anything is possible." She listed.
