CHAPTER FOURTEEN the return of the reverse flash . . . kind of?
⊱ ──────── {.⋅ ✯ ⋅.} ──────── ⊰
"BARRY ALLEN, THE love of my life," Juliet announced.
Cisco and Harry were out, searching the three locations for Grodd and Caitlin. So far, the first two had come up with nothing, which left them with only one. As part of the plan, Juliet had hung back. It was strange, her being in the cortex with Barry while Cisco and Caitlin were out there when it was normally the other way around.
Keeping her distance from Barry had been a little challenging. Juliet wanted nothing more than to be there for him since she could see his confidence had been shattered into a million tiny shards. However, she lingered in the hallways, leaving Henry and Barry in the cortex alone. Barry saw Juliet everyday. He rarely saw his dad.
However, when Juliet came back into the cortex to check up on everything with Iris (who had just shown up again), she noticed that Barry seemed . . . different. Not in whole, just different from the sulking person he had been the past couple of days. He seemed to get a jumpstart from something. Juliet could only assume Henry had said something to him.
Barry's eyes narrowed at her suspiciously. "What do you want?"
"What makes you think I want something?" Juliet countered, planting a kiss to the top of his head before settling down in the seat next to him. "Maybe I just wanted to make a declaration."
"She wants a coffee," Iris cut in, sitting down in the chair on the other side of Barry. "Don't let her fool you."
Barry nodded. "I should've known by her tone."
Juliet blinked at them. "What the fuck?"
"Oh, we talk about your mannerisms with each other," Iris said casually, looking at the computer screen. "Keep up, babe."
She scoffed and shook her head. "Unbelievable."
Barry kissed her cheek, which made all of the fake annoyance she was trying to portray wash away. "It's okay, they're cute."
The conversation immediately dropped, because the computer started to beep. That meant Harry was going up the third bell tower. It must've been the right one, because they immediately connected to Harry's comm system. Juliet sighed, sitting up a little straighter.
