[DADDY ISSUES- THE NEIGHBOURHOOD]

A purple streak speed through the streets of Central City, early in the morning just as they start approaching their home. A tray with two cups of coffee in their hand just as they stop in front of their door. Y/N glances at her watch, then reaches for the doorknob as she starts making her way inside with a small smile, closing the door behind her.

"That was one way to start the morning." Y/N spoke up, starting to make her way further in the loft── then stops in her tracks as she notices the amount of food on the table, "Wow."

"Good morning." Barry smiles, setting down a plate of pancakes on the table, then walks over to her.

"Morning." Y/N smiles as he quickly leans down to plant a kiss on her lips before pulling away as she looks back at the table, "I thought we could just have a cup of coffee― but this looks so much better."

Barry hums in response, taking the tray from her hands as Y/N takes off her sweater and walks towards the table, scanning what was on it. She was wearing jeans, a black blouse, and boots. The speedster sets her sweater down on the chair, looking at everything with a small smile.

The brunette stands beside her, setting the tray of coffee down on the table and Y/N points at one of the foods, glancing at him with a surprised expression, "Is that blueberry compote?"

"Freshly mashed, and paired with a savory bacon and baked egg Danish." A voice spoke from behind the married couple.

Y/N quickly turns around to notice the Speed Force still in her house, putting the kitchen into use as she was starting to put the eggs on a plate, a pan in her hands. The girl awkwardly places a hand on the back of her neck, muttering, "Oh― the Speed Force, right."

"Are you okay, Y/N?" Alice the Speed Force questions in concern, setting the pan down and placing her hands on her hips, "Or do you still feel the effects of Psych's attack?"

"Nope― no." She laughs softly, walking towards her as she lightly swings her arms back and forth, "Just, um, I'm surprised you can, you know? Cook."

"Well, you'll be surprised how many things Alice knows how to do." Barry mentions, smiling softly.

Y/N glances at him, feeling uncomfortable with the use of her mother's name on the Speed Force. She knew how it looked just like her, but she also learned that either way, the source standing in front of her, isn't her mother, as much as she wishes it is, it was never going to be. And never will be── because her mother, the real Alice Harper is dead.

Barry caught on her staring making him frown slightly, "You okay?"

The girl only nods, looking away from him as she leans against the island, trying to fix her gaze somewhere else than the woman standing across from her. Alice the Speed Force puts the used pan in the sink, then looks back at the girl with a soft expression.

"You know, I learned today that cooking― is much more than putting ingredients together with heat to produce the molecule changes. Who knew?" The woman laughs softly.

"Yup, you learn something new every day." Y/N hums, crossing her arms, and steals a small glance in her direction.

"Mimosa?" The Speed Force offered, gesturing to a glass bottle filled with the drink beside her.

The girl looks at it, shrugging in response as she reaches for it, "Yeah, thanks."

The woman smiles── the speedster picks up the drink, but just as she does she starts noticing her arm begins to vibrate, almost like it was happening on its own. Y/N stares at it with a confused expression, not understanding before glancing at the Speed Force whose expression widens. The girl was about to put it back down but was too late just as it shatters in her grasp, causing the drink to pour all over her.
