Chapter 7
"How did I not see this?" Deon says. Barry and I wait in silence. "I'm going to talk to the other forces and see what we can do to help. Thawne and the negative forces are getting out of control."

He snaps his finger and we watch as the green particles fade into the air. "All we can do now is wait," Barry says. "Does this version of you like karaoke?" I ask. He places both of his hands on his hips, "does this version of me - of COURSE!"

I laugh, "join me? I'll invite the others... Iris too." He nods, "I'd like that very much."

"Can't read my, can't read my no he can't read my...." Cisco sings. "You and this song..." I whisper. We all clap and cheer him on, laughing harder when Barry joins him. I watch as he sings at the top of his lungs and smiles ear to ear. I love him. I miss him.

"Okay miss Scarlet, it's your turn" Cisco says, handing me the mic. I wait for the beat to pick up before starting my favorite song "wise men say..."

I watch as Barry's eyes widen. This version of him must have a connection to this song as well. Iris grabs his hand and squeezes it, while scooting closer to him. "I can't help falling in love with you" I sing, feeling tears fall down my face. Now that I think about it, this is quite embarrassing. I place the mic on the couch and run back to Star Labs in a matter of seconds. A gust of wind follows.

"Are you okay?" Barry asks. "Not really" I reply. "You're embarrassed... why?" he asks. How does he know that? "I just know," he says. "Okay when did you get mind reading abilities?" I ask, turning to face him. "I didn't but I know you" he replies.

"Now you know me?" I ask. "Well the longer we spend time together and the more memories you share with me... yes."

"I'm embarrassed because that was the song we danced to at our wedding. Singing that in front of you and Iris felt wrong." He hums, "I had a dream of that song. You were there. We were on some rooftop and this song was playing in the distance."

My eyes widened, "that was after our first date. We went to a science convention and afterwards you swooped us to the top of your favorite building. An older woman was playing this song on her radio and we danced to it. That wasn't a dream...." "That was a memory" Barry finishes.
