"Your vitals are fantastic" Caitlin says as she finishes her tests on Ralph.
"yeah" Ralph says with a cheeky smirk
"Your blackmailing the mayor?" Barry asks walking into the Coretext
"classic Barry Allen. Enters room and accuses wildly." Ralph retorts back
"We know about the photos, Ralph." Joe says crossing his arms
"Bellows told us everything." Barry says shaking his head
"hey, i'm not the one who told him to step out on his wife." Ralph scoffs
"That's your defense? It's his fault that you're extorting him?" Barry questions gesturing to him
"Isn't that a little easy for you to say? Your fancy lab, your good job. People like me are just trying to get from one bill to the next. And I wouldn't have to be living like that if you hadn't cost me my job." Ralph states
"You got yourself fired. You tampered with evidence. You framed that guy. " Barry states facts
"Because he was guilty. And he was gonna get away with killing his wife, and then you let him go. I was a good cop. I was a good detective. I lost everything. Mayor's got plenty of money. He can afford to spare a little. Consider it the pension you cost me." Ralph says with venom is his tone.
"Good people don't destroy lives and call it noble. You were dirty then. You're dirty now. Live with that." Barry says with a straight face.
"And are you still living your lie?" Ralph says making Barry takes a step back stunned. "You gotta live with that. You forget that we use to be really good friends. We were like brothers. You forget that I know you better than Joe and Iris. You forget that I know your secrets." Ralph smirks realizing that he still hasn't told his family.
"Ralph don't you fucking dare!" Barry yells pointing his finger at the man and getting into his face.
"What lie Bare?" Joe asks
"I can't believe you never told them! Yet you told me!" Ralph yells back.
"What is he talking about Barry?" Iris asks.
"We were best friends at the time! You were my only other true friend that wasn't family!" Barry yells.
"Ralph what are you talking about?" Caitlin asks.
"Well then. Allen here has been keeping a secret."
"Don't you dare!"
"Barry Allen..."
"NO!"
"Is"
"Ralph!"
"Gay."
Ralph told the biggest secret Barry Allen has ever kept.
Barry stood there as his life crumbled. He thought no one was going to know. He knew they would accept him but he was terrified. And knew they would never accept his lover.
"You're Gay." Caitlin states more than asks
"Why did you never tell me?" Iris asks stunned
"Son..." Joe just stares
Barry just starts to panic.
"You never told them. Yet you told me. We were brothers then you ruined my life. I now ruin yours." Ralph says and walks out and back to his life.
There was silence as they looked at Barry. Barry started to panic. Only one thing was now on his mind.
"Barry, I thought you loved me. I have been trying to show you that I am in love with you!" Iris states.
"Barry, you have been in love with Iris since before you knew what love was. You're not gay." Joe says rubbing his fore head.
"I-no-I-" Barry started to panic. He only wanted one thing. One person. He started to truly start having a panic attack as everyone tells his what they believe is true.
He started struggling to breath.
He is starting to not be able to hear.
"Guys stop!" Caitlin commands. "Barry..."
He started to vibrate with the panic not being able to control anything and being lost in thought and panic.
There were 3 beeps indicating that the Legends have arrived for a much needed break. But then 4 beeps telling them they left.
"Well what is happening?" Iris asks Caitlin.
"I believe he is having a panic attack."
"Who's having a panic attack?" A voice says from the entrance to the coretext. Everyone looks over and is surprised to see a man who is supposed to be dead.
Barry knew the voice. He looked over. Panic starting to increase even though he is here now. And Barry crumbles to the floor grabbing his head.
"Oh Scarlet," He says as he powers on his cold gun and slides it across the floor. "You know what to do." He finishes in a soft voice.
Barry sets his hands on the gun when it got close enough. It chills him to his core and his panic attack slows down. He is still panting.
"Len~" Barry says in a broken sob as he looks up. Len immediately starts to walk over.
"Don't go near him!" Joe says holding up his gun.
"Shut it West" Len says with venom in his voice. "Scarlet I am here now." Len says as he crouches down.
Barry launches forward and latches himself onto the man in front of him. Len puts a comforting hand into his hair as he soothingly rubs his head.
"You're alive! But how? Len I wanna go home." Barry cries. The others are just stunned at what they are watching.
"We can go home Scarlet." Len says as he kisses Barry's head sweetly.
"You aren't taking him anywhere Snart!" Iris yells.
"Like hell you are going anywhere with him. Get off of him. How are you even alive!?" Joe says holding his gun still.
Len stands up and acts like a support line as Barry stands with him.
"Joe I just want to go home. Len can we go now?"
"Barry you just had a severe panic attack after Ralph just said you are Gay. I think you should stay here so I can run some tests about the attack." Caitlin says.
"He want's to go home. So that is where we are going." Len says as he puts the cold gun in his holster.
"And why the hell do you know where he lives?" Joe asks
"Len." Barry looks at him. "Home." Len looks at him with soft eyes and a small smile. Barry kisses him with so much passion. When they break he says one more word. "Now."
"Of course Love." Len replies and in a whoosh they are gone.
