The Mirror of My Eyes

Cooking and confrontation

"Heh… I guess you kept the promise, even if Wally didn't huh kid?" He said out loud in a shaky voice as he tears up slightly, remembering how the kids said goodbye to each other 11 years ago. 

He frowned as he thought, wondering why Y/n hadn't said anything, and why she had kept it quiet.

"Well kiddo… I think you and I need to have a LONG overdue talk…"

"Jewels for the last time I'm fine!"

"No you're not! You will eat you stubborn as a rock human!!"

Julie was dragging Y/n by her wrists with all her might, while Y/n dug her heels, trying to prevent Julie from dragging her away from her office. "Julie, I have work to do! The paperwork built up a bit again and Wally needs the rest more than I do so I don't have TIME-"

"YES, YOU, DO! YOU HAVE TO EAT DAMN IT!!!" Julie shouted back, still trying to drag y/n away from her office. "WE ARE GOING TO THE BLOODY CAFETERIA!"

"NO I'M NOT I HAVE TO GET THE PAPERWORK DONE!" Y/n shouts back, unaware of the fact that someone had walked around the corner behind her.

"What on earth are you two shouting about?" Frank said, a look of astonishment on his face as he takes in the scene. It almost looked like Y/n and Julie were playing tug of war with their hands, each of them pulling on the other with all their weight.

"Frank! Tell Y/n that she needs to eat!" Julie said loudly, speaking over Y/n's protests.

Frank's eyes go wide, then narrow at Y/n, concern and irritation quickly building inside him. "Y/n." He said in a stern voice, immediately attracting the frustrated woman's attention, the pair of them ceasing the struggle as she looked at him warily, Julie still holding onto Y/n's wrists to be safe. "When EXACTLY was the last time you ate something?"

Y/n opened her mouth to speak, stubbornness clear on her face, about to claim that she had eaten recently, when her stomach decided to growl. LOUDLY. Her face went slightly pale as she looked at Frank guiltily, "it may or may not have been a little while since I've eaten a proper meal, I only really have time to work, sleep, bathe and feed my cat at home… but I do eat some snacks throughout the day!" Y/n explains somewhat defensively.

Julie looked at Frank pointedly, silently saying "see what I mean?!" as he glared at Y/n. "Y/n, you are going to go with Julie to the cafeteria, and now I'll be coming with you two as well to make sure you ACTUALLY eat." Frank said sternly, earning looks of outrage and smugness from Y/n and Julie respectively.

"Frank, you know what happens when Wally's paperwork gets too badly backed up, I don't want to have to do that to you again-" Y/n said, a desperate tone in her voice as she tried to convince Frank to let her go back to her office.

"And you can take half an hour to actually eat Y/n." Frank smiled smugly before saying, "don't make me call Eddie…" causing Julie to grin and Y/n to look offended.

"You wouldn't- would you?" Y/n said carefully, watching in horror as Frank pulled out his phone and quickly texted Eddie.

Y/n immediately starts trying to get back to her office again, leading to Julie launch herself at Y/n, using her body weight to pin Y/n down so she couldn't escape, as all three of them feel a disturbance on the force, and hear running echoing through the hallways.

The three of them turn to look down the hallway just as Eddie came around the corner, eyes blazing with paternal fury as they locked onto Y/n. "Now you listen here young lady! You are comin' down to the cafeteria to eat soemthin'' ya hear?!" Eddie said in an extremely stern tone, his accent coming out in full swing as he marched over to the two wrestling women.
