Run for me// The Flash{1}

You better run-I mean fly off...

Barry's pov
"I don't think Aiden's who he says he is..."
"What do you mean?"
I wanted to say the truth, about how he's lying to her about everything but Aiden's words kept repeating in my head:

You're not the only person who doesn't want to see her broken...

She waited for my reply as I nervously looked everywhere but her eyes. The only thing I didn't want her to be was hurt. Oh the guilt killing me inside. I force a smile, "What I mean is that I thought wrong about Aiden, I think he's a great guy."

She narrows her eyes at me. "But you just said-" I pull her into a hug not wanting her to ask question after question.

"I'm happy for you." I mumble as she wraps her arms around me hesitantly. After a few seconds her grip tightens making me not want to let go. What did I get myself into?

Maya's pov
At first when Barry had told me about Aiden not really Aiden, I started to get nervous. Then he told me that he was a great guy after all...Maybe it's nothing, maybe he was trying to resist liking Aiden.

I was now playing cards with Cisco, him watching me like a hawk while I choose carefully. "Bull." He smirks and picks up the car I had just put down. His smirk disappeared. He hesitantly dragged the stack of cards towards him.

"I told you." I lean back in my chair, "You can't face the queen of cards." I was a professional of playing cards due to Dad when he was younger.

Cisco chuckles then turns serious, "Barry's probably helping you out. Wherever he's at." He looks around, searching for my brother, me rolling my eyes.

"How can Barry be helping me if he's getting drinks for us with Caitlin?" I say, still looking at Cisco, him watching Barry.

This is what happens when you play with Cisco. He will deny everything. Barry and Caitlin sit with our drinks. "So how was your date yesterday?"

Barry grins, "It was great." I smile, taking a sip of my hot chocolate. "Were going on another date tonight." I choke on my drink.

"I know your fast and all but don't you think you're moving quick?" His expression was blank. "Do you understand what I mean?"

Barry rolls his eyes, "It's just a second date."

"A second date? With who?" I hear my best friend making all of us turn our heads her direction.

"With Linda Park. The sports reporter."

Iris softly smiles, "That's great. She's great. You're great." She looks at me and back at Barry. I narrow my eyes at her, her ignoring my stare. I tell Barry I'll be back and pull Iris along with me. "What?"

"Don't 'what' me. What was that?" I ask, her forcing a smile. Somethings definitely not right.

"I don't know what you mean." I furrow my eyebrows at her, "Look, I'm happy for Barry. I'm glad that he finally has someone." I didn't believe a word she said. I know when somethings not right with her. "Well I'll see you at home. Bye, Maya."

Before I can say anything she raced down the stairs. My attention turned towards the tv, the reporter taking about a 'burning man'. "Burning Man? Caitlin isn't that..."

"Ronnie."

We were currently in S.T.A.R. Labs, Wells explaining about how Ronnie and Professor Stein are connected. Hm, I wonder how it feels to be in a persons head or body? "Caitlin, you need to be on board of what's going to happen?"

She hesitates and looks at me, I nod as she sighs, "Where do we find him?" Wells smiles and shows us a picture of Martin Stein.

"That's Martin Stein?" Wells nods his head. "We've seen him before." Barry says as I look at Barry dumbfounded, not remembering anything. "Remember, that train—ugh nevermind. You weren't even paying attention."
