Believe in the Impossible ϟ The Flash

Chapter 8: Prize Fight

Feelings, one of the few things on this planet science can't even begin to explain. Something each of us believes to be unique to our experiences. And everyday, science gets closer to the answer of explaining this weird phenomena. But how can we even begin to truly explain how hearing someone's laugh makes us do the same or how hearing a name can make someone happy or angry. I may be a scientist, but I know better than anyone that there are some things that we will never understand.

"Rose, where were you?" Barry asked as I came running in behind him. "I could've used your help here."

"Sorry," I panted. "I spent the night at Xiomara's. It is kind of hard to get away the morning after. And I would have answered the phone, but I prefer to have my phone off when I'm-"

Barry held up his hands and grimaced, "Okay, okay, I get it." Barry and I walked into the bank. We met up with Joe inside and Barry told us what happened as we walked into the main area of the bank. He told us how everyone had practically tried killing each other. Joe said it had to be a diversion because a half a million dollars had gone missing during that time. The police were trying to track the money down using a tracer.

"So do you think a neurotoxin did this?" I asked him as I made a circle motion with my finger. Barry shrugged. "I'll go swab some surfaces, see if I can find anything." I went off to work. I prayed that maybe this time we would be dealing with something the police could actually handle.

I watched with Barry as Eddie tried to convince Captain Singh how The Flash and Hecate needed to be brought in. Singh seemed more interested in the burger on his desk rather than Eddie's ranting. I sighed as I watched the scene unfold.

"Do you think he'll convince him?" I asked Barry.

"Convince who of what?" Barry and I turned as Iris came up next to us. She looked in the direction we were to see Eddie talking at Singh.

"That The Flash and Hecate are public menaces," Barry answered her. Iris raised her eyebrows and I knew Eddie was now in a heap of trouble. Eddie came out of Singh's office. Iris walked into his path.

"So after weeks of my trying to convince you that The Flash and Hecate are real, now that you finally do believe me, you're trying to have them arrested? What the hell?" Eddie looked over at the two of us and sarcastically thanked us.

"Sorry," we said in unison. Eddie told Iris that Singh had shot him down and left Iris. Iris turned back around towards us and crossed her arms.

"He must be jealous," she concluded. Barry seemed to perk up.

"Of The Flash? Should he be?" Iris took a moment before she answered no and left. Once she gone, I kicked Barry hard in the knee. He grabbed his knee.

"Bad Barry," I scolded.

Barry still held onto his knee, "What was that for?"

"Oh, you know what that was for."

"Don't you two need to get to S.T.A.R. Labs?" Joe asked as he came out of Singh's office. Barry and I said yes. I held out my hand for Barry and pulled him from the chair he was sitting from.

"Come on," I told him. "Lunch is on me."

"Anger, hate, aggression."

"A Jedi craves not these things," Cisco said in his best Yoda voice. I smiled and rolled my eyes.

"Everyone in the bank went total savage for, like, five minutes. And then they were fine again," Barry explained. I jumped off the desk I was sitting on as Caitlin came back in and pulled up the CAT scans that Joe had sent them.
