Cold to the Touch (Arrowverse Fic)

Chapter One

Crystal's POV

The blaring sound of my alarm clock woke me from my peaceful sleep. Smacking the snooze button I groan, rolling over to check my phone. I'm on the edge of falling back asleep, that is until I see today's date. It's December 11, 2013. Throwing the blankets off, I jump out of the bed.

Today is the day! The day all of our work for the past two years to be worth something has finally come! Today Star Labs unveils its particle accelerator! I do my happy dance as I throw on my favorite playlist, and walk to the bathroom to shower.

As I step out of the shower, I notice my phone screen is lit up. I grab it to see it was a text from my sister.

(A/N: Italics are the texts.)

Cait: Today's the day!

I quickly type my reply. Cris: Today's the fucking day!!

I put the phone down as I get dressed for the day. My phone buzzes, another text from Caitlin.

Cait: LANGUAGE!!!

Rolling my eyes, I reply, Cris: Whatever. I'm gonna get coffee before work, you and Ronnie want anything?

As I wait for her response, I put everything I need into my trusty backpack. My phone buzzes once again. Big Sis: We'll each take a coffee. You remember how we like it?

Lil Sis: Yep. Coffee w/ two sugars and cream for you, and one sugar no cream for Ronnie.

Big Sis: Perfect! Thanks, sis! See you in a bit.

I walk out the door of my apartment, and down to the parking garage. Just before I get into my car, my phone buzzes twice. Another message from Cait, and one from her fiance.

Ronnie: Can you get me a scone? Plz?

I laugh, rolling my eyes, Crissy: *sigh* Fiiiinnne

After replying I check the other message, Big Sis: Don't forget to ask Cisco. Remember what happened last time we forgot him?

I sigh, I do remember. He got bitter about being forgotten and moped around Star Labs for a few hours. We ended up taking him for ice cream after work to make up for it. Lil Sis: Thanks for reminding me! Wouldn't want to deal with that again.

Before starting the car I send one last text to Cisco. Snowflake: Hey Cis, you want anything from Jitters?

Just before I pull out of the garage, my phone buzzes, San Fran: Sure. Could you get me a hot chocolate? Plz?

Snowflake: Sure, dude

San Fran: This is why you're my best friend

Snowflake: Suuurrrre. That's why

San Fran: Shut up

I finally put the phone down, and start making my way through Central City. I park down the street from CC Jitters, the best coffee place in Central City. Luckily the line isn't too bad, so I sit and wait for my turn. The familiar dark-skinned barista, Iris, smiles as I approach, "Morning, Crystal," You know you go somewhere a bit too much when you're on the first name basis with most of the staff. "what can I get you today?"

"Morning, Iris," I return her smile, "Can I get two medium hot chocolates with whipped cream and chocolate sprinkles, two coffees: one with two sugars and cream, and one with just one sugar and no cream?" I decide to get something for Dr. Wells, "Wait, make that three coffees, make the last one black. Oh and a scone."
