The Impossible Flash

Chapter 14: Flash Vs. Arrow

~~~Barry's POV~~~~

Everyone on this planet, at some point in their lives, has had a major case of the feels. Those days when your heart is just too small to hold the big things you're feeling. Today's one of those days. We think of our emotions like they're these unique, personal phenomena, that no one has ever felt what we have felt. There is a basis in science for every emotion we feel Anger, love. As a scientist, I know there's nothing magical about what makes us feel something for someone else But then I see her smile. Man, that cannot be science.

"Barry, bank robbery in progress at Cunningham and Sampere," Cisco said breaking me from my train of thought.

"I got it." I answered zooming off.

I arrived at the scene just as a woman shot a gun at a man. I tackled the man, getting him out of the fire line. I then saw everyone look around, like they were waking up from a daze. I then angrily left, furious I didn't stop the robbery and the person behind it.

~~~Holly's POV~~~~

I walked into the bank, it looked like a tornado went through. I saw police investigating the people and what happened. I saw Joe and then I turned and saw Barry walking in.

"Hey," Joe said, nodding his head to him, "Busy morning. Witnesses reported seeing a red streak?"

" Joe, you should have seen it. It was like everybody in here was trying to kill each other. I got here just in time."

"Well, it must've been a diversion, because there's 1/2 million bucks missing from the vault. There's a tracer in the cash stacks. We're trying to find the signal. Meantime, any idea what could've caused such mass... This?"

"A neurotoxin, maybe. I'm going to swab some surfaces, see what I can find, but I think maybe they got whammied."

"Did you just say whammied?"

"I got so angry. I can't believe I did that. I would never hurt anybody. You have to believe me," a woman said walking with Eddie.

"I do," he answered as they walked out.

I turned to Barry and shrugged my shoulders, he just sighed and left. I quickly ran after him.

"Hey Barr, wait!" I said as he turned around frustratedly, "whats wrong?"

"Nothing, I'm fine."

"You sure?"

"Positive."

"Okay... how about we then swing by Jitters and get some coffee then head to the precint?"

"Sure."

Me and Barry then walked to Jitters and grabbed some coffee, both our usuals. I could tell Barry was obviously upset, so I tried cheering him up, telling him about stories when I was girl. Of course he already heard some, but they usually always made him smile. Usually. Not today though. I sighed and we walked in silence, maybe he just woke up on the wrong side of the bed, like everyone else sometimes do. It was must be hard for him to work, and save the world all at the same time. I needed to give him a break.

We walked into the precint and saw Joe and Eddie in with Singh. Eddie looked like he was having a heated discussion with a, not so interested, Singh. I wondered what they could be discussing, but it didn't take me long to overhear, through the thin walls, what it was. Eddie was against the Flash. Ouch, that had to hurt Barry's feelings. He definitely was having a not-so-good day.

Barry of course was just standing there with his arms crossed.

"Hey. What's going on in there?? Iris asked. Little did I notice her walk in and stand beside Barry.
