That One Night

Part 5

Caitlin's POV

So now that this whole Hannibal Bates situation was taken care of, i had to go find the real Barry.

"Barry!" I yell around his house, but nothing

I then started to hear rustling coming from upstairs. I run upstairs to what must be his room and opened his closet. To my surprise, there was Barry laying on the ground with duck tape over his mouth

"Barry are you okay?" I asked sitting down next to him

He was having trouble waking up, so I did the first thing I could think of.

"Barry wake up!" I yell slapping him across the face then ripping off the duck tape

His eyes shot open and all i can see is hurt and confusion.

"Ow! Why did you slap me?" He asks a bit irritated

"Sorry, i had to wake you up" I explained and I helped him out of the closet

"What's happening where is..." Barry starts to say

"We got him and everything is fine" I sais interrupting him

"How?" He asks confused

"I will explain on the way. We need to go because you need stitches right here" I said pointing at the cut on his forehead

At S.T.A.R labs...

"I was gone for a few hours and i miss everything" Cisco complains

"Gees he really did do a lot of damage" Barry says as he goes to sit on the hospital bed

"Yeah he did" I reply grabbing my materials

As I'm putting stitches into his head i noticed him staring at me.

"Barry why are you staring at me?" I asked him

"Your neck"

"What about my...." I start to say

"There are bruises" Barry says sounding a bit worried

My face dropped, how do i explain to him what had happened.

"Oh it was nothing...All done" I said trying to get off the topic

"Cait did the fake Barry..." Barry starts to say but i immediately stop him from finishing his sentence.

"Barry it was nothing lets just forget about it" I said before walking out of the room

Barry's POV

It has been really weird between me and Caitlin. I see her rubbing the spots on her neck and i can't help but think that Hannibal had something to do with it. Did he hurt her or something?

"Hey Joe" I said happily as i walk into the police station

"Barry i was wondering when you were actually coming to do some work" Joe says causing both of us to laugh

"Yeah well i thought this would distract me from what's going on"

"Yeah this whole Harrison Wells thing has been a bit weird" And he was right

We have suspected Wells had something do do with my moms murder, but for some reason that is not the thing i wanted distraction from.

Ring Ring

"Hello"

"Hey we have a visitor" Caitlin says excitedly over the phone

I quickly run over there to see Felicity and what must be her new boyfriend, so i quickly put my suit on depending if she told him who i was or not.

"The Flash" She says coming over and pulling me into a hug

"Hey Felicity"

"Don't worry he already knows who you are" She explains

"OK good" I said pulling off my mask

"Wow i can't believe you know the Flash" I heard this strange man say behind us

"I prefer Barry"

"So what are you guys doing here?" Caitlin asks

"Ray needed help with his suit and i thought Cisco could help" Felicity ask looking over towards Cisco

"Absolutely" Cisco says running over to Ray

"You know are you really gonna go with the atom?" Cisco asks leading ray into the other room so i decide to follow.

Caitlin's POV POV

"Hey Caitlin you have been awfully quiet" Felicity says walking over to me and taking a seat by the computer

"Yeah, i just don't understand anything of what their talking about" I explain

"Caitlin are you okay you got bruise....Oh my god do you have a boyfriend!" Felicity asks a bit loud

"No! I don't and shh....i don't want them hearing. Now come on i will explain everything that has happened since you last came here" I say quickly taking her to my car

So we went for coffee and i told her everything from the karaoke night and movie night to the kiss with Hannibal bates.

"You can't tell anyone. Not Ray, Cisco, and especially not Barry about that last one" I ask relived that i finally got all this off my chest

"I won't but oh my god....you like Barry Allen" She says a bit surprised

"Maybe i don't know. When Hannibal kissed me i actually thought it was Barry, i kissed back. He even gave me all these bruises and I was going to cover them up....I just didn't" I explained to her

"Well i think you should tell Barry" Felicity says seriously

"I can't it will never be the same" I sadly realize this right after i say it

"We should be getting back, they are probably wondering where we are" Felicity suggests and i agree

We get back to see all the guys sitting in the cortex laughing at somethings that was apparently really funny.

"Where have you two been?" Barry ask looking towards me

"Coffee" Felicity says quickly hoping they won't ask anymore questions

"Cool so my suit is done" Ray says walking over towards Felicity

"Nice, so what is the plan?"

"I think we should go out to dinner, and invite some of our friends to come along" I hear Ray suggest

"I think that's a great idea. How about Caitlin and Barry?" Felicity asks looking at both of us

"What about Cisco, you can't forget about him" I ask getting a bit nervous as to why she is only inviting us

"Cisco can i talk to you for a second" Felicity asks taking Cisco into the next room

"What would they be talking about in there" Barry asks looking at both me and Ray

They come back out with huge smiles on there faces.

"I will not be going. I have a family thing to go to" Cisco says not convincingly

"Great so it's on. Now Barry do you want to pick up Caitlin and meet us there" Ray suggests

"Um...sure. Caitlin?" Barry asks nervously

"OK"

"Great i will see both at 7 at the new Italian place" Felicity says grabbing Ray's arm and leading him out of the room.

"That was weird" I said breaking the awkwardness

"Yeah, so i guess i will see you tonight" Barry says rubbing the back of his neck

"I can't wait" I said before walking out and back to my car to get ready for tonight
