It's Christmas Eve; Iris invited me to spend it with Joe and her. And I accepted immediately since Jarrod is out of town. Lately, he's been disappearing a lot. I bought some presents for her, Joe, Barry and The Flash. I love that name, it suits him more than just the streak. While I was wrapping those gifts, I heard that electric sound.

"You should close the window." The man in the red suit affirmed. I laughed in return. Admittedly, that vibrating voice he's using is funny

"Why are you laughing" He asked. I bit my lower lip "S-sorry, but your voice is funny"

"And what about this" He said. "Merry Christmas" His voice was a perfect match for Pikachu's, I burst into laughter when he talked. "Stop it" I said trying to catch my breath, well, that voice wasn't that funny but the fact that all the town depended on that man is. Furthermore, I'm standing in my room with a man whom I've never seen without a mask and probably, never heard his real voice.

"So, why are you here and how did you find my house?" I asked suspiciously.

"I- I- A-"He stuttered "A friend of mine told me. I wanted to say Merry Christmas properly."

I smiled "You know that I don't care if you were a stalker or not" I affirmed.

"I am not a stalker, I know things" He responded.

"And you're too familiar" I whispered to myself. "Oh, I got you something, stand still"

I looked out for that toy I've been designing for the whole week, then, handed him the little watch with the same lightning bolt on his suit. "So, I've been thinking what would happen if someday we wouldn't be able to reach each other, you can call this a micro alarm, I have its pair right here, and when you need me you only have to press that button and my coordinates will appear."

I could see his grin even though he was vibrating in a high frequency. And that grin looked more than familiar, "Barry" I whispered in a shocked tone. I shook my head in disbelief, what was I thinking? That was the most stupid thing I've ever said; I would be the first to know if Barry was the flash. Right?

Abruptly, he disappeared and reappeared in a blink of an eye. I fixed my hair as the air caused by his sudden movement messed with it. He was holding a very beautiful flower "did you bring it out of a fairy tale book?" I asked.

"Not exactly" He responded chuckling

"Not exactly" He responded chuckling.

"Tia, where are you" I heard Iris yelling downstairs.

"I've got to go" He said and disappeared.

"Hey Iris" I greeted as she entered the room.

"Merry Christ- OH JESUS CHRIST!" She raised her eyebrows when she saw the flower in my hands. "Um, what's that?"
