Time After Time ϟ Barry Allen [2]

4- Party Flop

A/N: BASED OFF EPISODE 5. Also Brenton Thwaites is portraying Dick Grayson (Nightwing).

Waking up to the sight of oversleeping is not my favorite thing. The digital clock on the nightstand definitely reads that. I sit up immediately.
"Barry, wake up. We overslept," I tap his shoulder.
"Okay, I'm up," he uses my arm to hoist himself up. "Wow, you look gorgeous in the morning sunlight."
"I can't tell whether you're lying or not," I get out of bed, and pick my shirt off the floor.
Barry smiles, "you know I'm not lying."
I simper, "actually I don't, but I trust you anyway. Want me to stop at Jitters for you before you go to work?"
"Nah, I'm good. You just do what you got to do, and I'll catch up with you later."
I button my jeans and lean in close to him. "See you at STAR Labs," I kiss him.
The Flash cups my face, and stares into my eyes. "I might never want to leave."
"I'll go before I get planted. Bye," I teleport off.

I catapult myself onto Barry's back, "hey you."
"What are you doing?" Barry smiles, swinging me around to look at him.
"Felicity told me I was going to have a bachelorette party, because I didn't schedule one at all."
"That sounds just like her."
"Good luck at yours," I kiss him on the cheek. "I told her not to go overboard. Hopefully she won't have me talk about Sonic-Bullet, you know, Grant Hill. Or my... other friends."
"Isn't he the guy that your friend Sanjay calls the 'girl magnet without trying'?"
"Yeah, he's in that club, but don't worry."
"There's a club?" Barry raises his eyebrows.

I slowly walk backwards, "Felicity also said that people these days get divorced, but that not going to be the case. Plus she said with all the men I know, it won't be hard to get back out there. And now I'm done talking before you say anything."

"Ready to go?" Iris asks me. "Oh no, please don't tell me Felicity told you that divorce thing."
Barry just nods. I bite my lip, "its not going to happen to us. But there are an infinite number of Sky's out in the vastness."
"I'm going to take she and go," Iris puts a hand on my arm and leads me away.

By now its the evening, and her, Felicity, Caitlin and Cecile carpool in Iris's car. Three in the back and two in the front. When we get there, we find our table the Felicity reserved, because I did not plan on having a party of any kind. Not when Attin City isn't protected, and I'm helping Team Flash.
"Here," Felicity hands me a red boa, "put this on."
I glance at it, "I have my own party favors." I open my pocketbook with my mask inside. She closes it on me. "Sky, have fun," she tells me. "Nothing bad is going to happen."
Caitlin smiles kindly, "so any further plans for your wedding?"
"Well, you and Iris are obviously going to be my brides, and Felicity might be getting married soon herself."
Felicity coughs on her drink, "who told you that?"
"Izzie is going to my maid of honor, because we've been best friends since high school." I continue, "and the whole Lightning gang is coming."
"Lightning gang?" Cecile asks. "What's that?"
I don't answer her, because that's my superhero squad at the 'Lightning Cave' in which Sanjay copied some friends of mine on the calling our HQ that.

Iris grins, "is Grant Hill going to be there?"
"That hot gray eyed, brown haired, ripped guy at your work?" Felicity blurts out. "Don't tell Oliver I said that. Oh, and who's the other hottie on your phone I saw earlier?"
"Who are you talking about?" My face grows warm.
"I'm not talking about Sanjay, though he is cute, the other one."
Iris smirks, "is it the one with the--"
"Nope, nope," I shake my head. "I promised myself I wouldn't talk about Dick."
"Who's Dick?" Caitlin asks.
"This is getting interesting," Cecile says. "Show us a picture."
I sigh and show them one of him in a suit. "This is Dick Grayson, my... friend."

"You mean your ex? You should not have let him go," Felicity stares at the photo of him. "Why couldn't we get him as a stripper?"
"I hope no one ordered one," I said. "Though he does like showing off in front of women. When Barry went missing, he tried to get me back to him..." I trail off.
Iris and Caitlin exchange a look. "Well," Iris begins. "What was wrong with him?"
"Nothing was. He was sweet and a charmer; definitely knew who he was dealing with. Not your typical girl--"
"You're telling me," Felicity briefly interrupts. "You won't even throw yourself a party or get your nails done with us to celebrate."
"--Anyway, any girl would be happy with him. But Grayson insisted I was the one for him. There are other fish in the sea... of a million earths. Figure of speech," I quickly add in for Cecile's sake.
"Sounds like he was good for you," Caitlin says quietly.
"He's not Barry Allen though," I reply, trying to not have my mind wander to the escrima carrying vigilante.
