"Barry..." was the only word Iris could muster as she dropped down onto the waterfront's stone steps, her tears of sadness smearing the little make-up that covered her heartbroken face.
She buried her face in her trembling hands, letting her now tangled mess of hair fall mindlessly in front of her head, concealing the wet droplets that streamed down her cheeks.
Tears seemed to fall down her face for what felt like an eternity. At least, that's what the insurmountable weight weighing down on her chest sent booming through her mind every second she wasn't with Barry.
All he wanted to do was protect me, like he always has and now, now he's hurting because of something he did to help me.
Though, the woman's sorrow slowly seemed to fade as she looked around the platform's dimly lit space, her brown eyes gently softening as she remembered the memories the pair had shared together along the bay's shore.
The velvety navy blue tuxedo that had covered her husband's lean shoulders, his soft smile lighting up at the sight of Iris' similarly colored mini dress, just as it did anytime he looked at his wife. The feel of his loving hand as it touched her left cheek, their anxious lips meeting in what Iris could only describe as magical. Of course, he'd had to almost immediately run off and save the day again after their kiss, but that singular moment she got to share with him was worth the wait.

Every moment with him is worth the wait. And they always will be.
Iris wiped the tears out of her eyes, letting the pain of their past mistakes slowly subside in favor of the burning determination that coursed through the woman's veins.
It shouldn't matter how many times we get hurt, how many times life tries to tear us apart, we can never lose each other. I won't let us lose each other.
Iris immediately pushed herself back onto her black-booted feet, swiftly straightening the thick white sweater that covered her thin arms. And with little recognition as to how exactly she managed to do it, Iris immediately just started running forward as fast as she could, the wind whipping roughly through her long rose hair.
Her muscles ached with every movement as she forced herself forward, ignoring any thought that was trying so desperately to rip her attention away, letting solely the thought of her hurting husband guide her.
He needs me right now. And I need him.
The city alone was large enough for the average citizen to get lost within its towering glass buildings and paved winding streets, especially during the afternoon rush hour on a Friday when all the bustling city's hard workers were finally getting to retire to their loving families on the weekend. And that's not even including the fact that a speedster in general, let alone one as fast as Barry, could travel around the world in less than a single minute.
