Fighting For Love (FlashxReader)

Chapter 7

"Barry, what the hell?!" Cisco said angrily as he pushed Barry, hard, in the shoulder.

Barry took a step back at what his friend did, "What the hell was that for?" he asked harshly.

"That was for letting all of us think that you were dead," Cisco shouted. "You chose to stay in the speed force, you left all of us behind...alone...you left Y/N alone!"

Barry hung his head in silence, "How did you know?" he asked softly.

"I didn't, Y/N did, you've been smiling in your sleep, saying Iris's name. Don't get me wrong I miss her too, but you moved on, you have Y/N now, and frankly...I think that you're screwing that up pretty badly right now," Cisco ranted.

"You don't even know what she went through that day," he said softly. "So whatever you saw in the speed force, whatever fantasy you lived, I hope it was good because you might have just lost your wife," he finished, storming out of the Cortex, pushing past Barry with heavy footsteps.

"Cisco, what do you mean 'went through'?" Barry yelled after him.

"Talk to you wife," he replied without turning, not caring anymore...

Barry messed up, and he knew that, he knew that what he did was wrong, he meant to tell Y/N, but he never got the timing right. And now Cisco brings up something that she didn't tell him, Barry wasn't angry, at least not with Y/N, just with himself.

Barry quietly opened the door to he and Y/N's apartment, he could hear her soft sobs as he made his way over to the couch where she sat.

"Look, just let me explain what happened," Barry said sitting down next to her, only to have Y/N scoot farther away, she didn't want his comfort. "Y/N-"

"Why?" she asked. "Am I not good enough or something, why did you choose to stay in the speed force living whatever fantasy with Iris, when you had a reality here...with me?"

"Look at your hand," Barry started. "More specifically, look at the ring. I made vows to you, and you made vows to me. I promised that I would always come running home to you, that I would love you even when I hate you, that I would always love you...that has never changed for me," Barry said with tears in his eyes.

"I didn't choose to stay with Iris, I chose to stay with the family that I had there," Barry answered harshly. "I saw my parents, alive, the life that I was supposed to have, the life that included having a family, making a family-"

"A life that you were supposed to have...that doesn't include me," Y/N said standing up and looking down at Barry. "I know you loved her, but you told me that I was the one that you were supposed to be with, the one that you loved. You told me that you didn't know what love was until you met me," Y/N explained with an angry tone.

"I didn't stay for Iris!" Barry shouted, standing up. "I stayed because we had kids, two beautiful speedster kids, that is what I want with you Y/N, I wanted to see if I could do it. If I could truly have it all...with you..."

"Well, guess what Barry, you can, you can have that with me," Y/N said not caring about the tears streaming down her cheeks.

Barry's heart sank, he didn't know what to say. He slowly took a few steps towards Y/N only to have her step back, for once. She didn't want the comfort of his arms wrapped around her, she wanted to be as far away from Barry as possible...
