Who are you, really? (Barry Allen ff)

Everything has Changed

'Cause all I know is we said hello
And your eyes look like coming home
All I know is a simple name
Everything has changed

9 months later

Athena's P.O.V.

I woke up to the blaring sound of music. At first I thought it was just something in my head but as I slowly gained consciousness I realized it was my phone. My head quickly shot up and I crawled over to the other side of my bed to get it off of my bedside table. Once I had it, I didn't bother to look at the caller ID, I just picked it up.

"Hello," I mumbled, still sleepy.

"Wazzup, bestie!" the male voice on the other end responded.

"Really Cisco?" I sighed slowly sitting up.

Cisco Ramon is one of the scientists who was taking care of Barry after the accident. He's one of the last employees who still works at Star Labs after the explosion. And I know what you must be thinking. Star Labs what?!?!?!? But yes its true. After everything, I woke up in the hospital with an unconscious Barry to my left. It felt as if all of it had been a dream. Maybe we were both just in a car crash or something had given me wild hallucinations in my sleep. Especially the Thawne part, but soon enough he showed up to take Barry to Star Labs saying he was the only one who could 'treat' him. I tried to convince Joe not to let him at first but Thawne brought up a very 'compelling' argument that would end in disaster if we didn't let him. Joe of course didn't know that, but I did. So we let him take Barr, but not without me right behind.

"Yes really, I don't like that attitude. Anyways, I think you'll be happy to know that your 'Barr' has been whispering your name all morning. It's getting annoying," he said slightly stifled, he was probably eating a licorice stick or something.

"IS HE AWAKE!" I pretty much yelled, now fully awake.

"No, calm down there. Although i feel like today might be the day, so I suggest you get your ass down here so you won't miss it," he chuckled.

"I'm on my way," I said before hanging up and making my way over to my bathroom.

I quickly washed myself, applying a bit of makeup that was tasteful but not too much. Then I ran to my closet and pulled out my red/pink, floral, long sleeved dress. Barry always said this dress was his favorite of mine so what would be better than him waking up to see me in it!

Once I was fully dressed I ran downstairs, grabbed a banana from my kitchen counter then sped out the door. I was almost at the elevator when I realized I wasn't wearing any shoes.

"Fuck," I grumbled before turning around and heading back to my apartment.

I opened the door and was shocked to be greeted by my boyfriend of now eight months, Roy Harper. He stood there completely naked with only a bed sheet wrapped around his waist to cover himself.

"Babe where'd you go? I woke up to the sound of you leaving. I thought your friend was coming to visit later today," he groaned, his husky morning voice still evident.

"Sorry to wake you babe," I said placing a soft kiss on his lips, "I just got a call from Cisco and Barry might be waking up soon. Don't wanna miss that."

"Oh okay, I'll just get my things and head home then," he sighed looking down.

"I'm really sorry, it's just Barry is my best friend and I don't want him to be alone when he finds out he's been out for 9 months," I smiled up at him sympathetically.
