The Flash: Lost...

Chapter XXV

Barry walks in behind her and closes the door.
"It's been some day."
"Yeah..."
Wenn carefully sits down on the couch. Barry walks over and sits next to her.
She looks at him with a curious look on her face
"So... how DID you get rid of Wells?"
"I went in to the Speedforce and took away his power." Barry says, as if it was the easiest thing on the planet.
Wenn blinks, "Just like that huh?"
Barry laughs.
"No, but I knew he had to stay in there. So I had to go in there myself. Letting him in to this world again wasn't an option."

Wenn nods.

"I started running, to connect to the Speedforce. It was like I entered a whole new and surreal world.
As I was standing there, in front of him, I felt... stronger... Like the Speedforce was enhancing my powers or something."

Wenn takes in this piece of information. 

"Interesting..."
She mulls over it a bit but decides to park it for another time and refocusses on Barry and his story.

"He attacked, but he wasn't fast enough. It wasn't exactly slow motion, how I normally perceive the world when I'm up to superspeed, but was able to easily counter his attack. Our energy forces hit each other and I felt the same surge of energy I did when you charged me."

Barry becomes more animated, the further he gets in his story. 

"At first I went for the overload, like you did, but then... I don't know exactly what I did, but something happened. It was like I was feeding off his power, syphoning it.
There was a huge flash and after that he was just a whimpering heap on the floor. Powerless."

Wenn looks at him, a big grin breaks out on her face.
"I told you! You ARE stronger than him!"
Barry smiles shyly and rubs the back of his neck, "Yeah, I guess I am!"

He looks at her eyes, gleaming with excitement and pride.

Oh boy... he had it bad for this woman.
He blinks and breaks his stare, "Okay, uhm, Alright, yeah, uhm, you need your rest. I better get..." 

He is silenced by Wenn, pressing her lips to his.
She pulls back slightly, and looks up at him "You're not going anywhere, Mr. Allen."

A mischievous grin spreads on her face.
His mouth goes dry.
He licks his lips and swallows,
"Okay"
She leans forward and captures his lips again.
Barry snakes an arm around her waist and pulls her closer as he deepens the kiss.

"Aarhg, ow!" Wenn breaks the kiss, wincing in pain.
Barry jumps back. "Oh god! I'm sorry!"
"It's okay" Wenn catches her breath as the pain settles down, "I started it."
She smiles sheepishly

He takes a hold of her arms and rubs them with his thumbs, "I don't think this is such a good idea right now."
Wenn lets her head fall forward to his chest and groans. "I know..."
Barry snickers and lifts her head. Her face is adorned with the most adorable pout.

 "Why don't we settle for a movie and careful cuddling on the couch?" Barry offers,
"I hear the latest X-men is really good. Maybe you can take some pointers from Magneto." He winks at her.

She shoots him a mock glare.

"Too bad I can't use some of that super healing of yours."
Barry laughs.

He lies down on the couch and pats the spot in front of him. 
Wenn crawls in front of him.
Once she is settled, he very carefully pulls her back to his chest.

"Comfy?
"Hmmhm" Wenn hums.
She turns on the TV and starts the movie.

A couple of scenes in to the movie, Magneto uses his power to 'fly' and Barry says, "It would be awesome if you could do that! You should try it!"

There is no answer.

Barry pushes himself up a bit.
He looks down at Wenn and notices she has fallen asleep.
Barry smiles.
After the whirlwind he's been in since being hit by lightning, and the madness of the last couple of months it is nice to do something 'normal' for a change.
No interruptions (yet), no voices taunting him, no superspeed and most importantly, no secrets. 
Just enjoying a slow and relaxing evening with a beautiful woman peacefully snuggled against his chest.
He places a small kiss on her shoulder,

"Sweet dreams miss Anderson".
