What We Do For Love (Flash x Reader)

Chapter 14

Y/N burst through the doors, she could see Kara and the others far off in the distance, but they were on their way. Y/N cautiously entered further into the building, she saw what appeared to be some sort of transdimensional portal back to Earth-X, but it was closed for now so she didn't think much of it.

She turned around instantly when she heard footsteps near her, she turned only to see Thawne, in his suit, looking happier than ever...better than ever.

"No," Y/N said barely audible, her head shaking. She knew what Thawne was so happy about.

"Oh don't worry, I promise it wasn't painless," he snickered.

Y/N didn't hesitate to punch him square in the jaw, her anger causing her to be flustered.

"Where is he!" Y/N cried as he rolled to his feet.

"You know he went on and on about how much he loved you if it's any consolation," Thawne smirked.

"Y/N?" Cisco said through the comms. "We picked up Barry's suit signature there, did you find him?" he asked.

"I'm about to," she said with her teeth clenched as she continued to fight Thawne. That when the others arrived.

Oliver swiftly got a solid punch almost immediately. "Y/N, go! Find Barry, we got this," Oliver said while he distracted Thawne.

Y/N nodded and then left and continued to move throughout the warehouse until she stumbled upon what seemed like a medical lab, a quite sophisticated one. She opened one of the doors and then she saw him, strapped to a table, his face pale, he looked weak, he looked dead...

Y/N immediately ran to Barry, tears flowing down her cheeks as she undid his restraints.

"Barry?" she asked holding his face in her hands. She could see a tube going into his arm, presumably what Thawne used to take his blood.

"Y/N?" he said barely audible,  the sight of his eyes struggling to open crushed her heart.

"Barry," she sobbed.

Barry smiled weakly at the sound of her voice, "I love you...Y/N...I'll always love you."

"No, Barry. Don't talk like that, you're gonna be fine," Y/N said gazing into his eyes. "Barry, I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry, this is all my fault," she cried.

"I forgive you," he said looking into her eyes. "For everything."

"I love you," she said with tears falling.

"I'll never stop loving you Y/N, promise me something," he said coughing, "Keep running...for me," he said with a smile on his face before he went limp in Y/N's arms.

"Barry! No," Y/N sobbed.

"Y/N," Oliver said over comms, "We got Thawne, we sent him through the portal back to Earth-X, the portal's down...we did it."

Oliver then ran into the room "Barry," he said in shock as he ran and helped Y/N get Barry to his feet and speed him back to S.T.A.R. Labs.

Caitlin and Julian thought they were prepared for Barry to come home, and then they saw the damage that Thawne had done.

As they laid him on the medical bed, Caitlin and Julian had already begun their work.

"This can't be happening," Y/N quietly cried to herself.

Joe saw her staring silently at what was happening right before her eyes. "Y/N," he said pulling her into his arms.

She tried to speak, but the words never came out. Instead, she buried her face in Joe's chest.
