Episode 35 - Flash Fanfiction - Game On!

Chapter 10

Joe, Iris, and Wally joined the team for Harry's celebratory dinner at the Sutherland Mansion.

"I brought the wine!" Joe declared, "So, I guess this is also an engagement dinner at the same time! I know that I didn't say it earlier... but congratulations to you both." He said to Astrid and Cisco.

"Thanks." They both said in unison. "I'll get the wine glasses!" Astrid said as she disappeared to retrieve them.

"I'm still finding it hard to get used to it all," Cisco said, blushing.

"Hey... just wait until the two of you have kids... " Joe replied, "The hell that they put you through... I'm still getting used to it."

"That'd be really interesting to see..." Barry said, "You and Astrid with kids." He looked over at Caitlin, "Do you ever think we'll have kids?" he asked her.

Caitlin gave a polite smile, "we never know what the future might hold."

Iris looked over at Caitlin and smiled, "Barry a dad? Now that I'd love to see... I wonder if they would be as dorky as he was growing up." she said.

"Hey, dorks are pretty cute," Caitlin said with a grin, kissing Barry on the cheek.

"I second that argument!" Astrid said, arriving with a tray of fancy wine glasses, "I'm marrying the cutest dork of them all!" She placed the glasses down on the table and gave Cisco a kiss on the mouth.

"And no offense to all you other ladies..." Cisco said, "But I'm marrying the hottest woman of all!"

"Okay... Let's drink before we bring up Harry's perfectly cooked roast!" Barry said, as Dr Wells begun pouring the wine.

"Does that mean I can have some wine?" Wally asked.

"No!" they all said at once.

"It's alright, Wally." Harry said, "Try this... don't worry, detective... there's no alcohol in it." Harry handed Wally a drink with the speed serum mixed in. He watched as Wally consumed the entire beverage, "Man... it takes like juice... what's so special about that?" Wally complained.

Harry grinned but said nothing.

The rest of the dinner went well, but as Wally slept in his bed that night, his heart began racing far too fast for his own body. He dreamt of running faster and faster than he ever had before. In his dreams, he could even run faster than... the Flash.
