MARVEL & DC IMAGINES

] "i'll take you up on that" [

For most of his life, Barry Allen knew that the woman he would end up had to be Iris West. When he went inside Jitters one morning, all that changed when his eyes landed on a girl with (y/h/c) who had a big and bright smile.

"Iris, who's the new girl?" He asked, nodding in your direction.

Iris gave him a playful grin. "Why? She's pretty right?"

Barry rolled his eyes. "No, I mean she's beautiful. Gorgeous even. But I mean she's a new face. And I like her face.And I've seen a lot of faces and none of then are like hers." He reddened as his friend started giggling.

"Her name is (Y/N) (Y/L) and she's totally single." Iris stopped her friend from rambling and then called you over. When Iris turned around to introduce you two, Barry had vanished.

For the next few months, Barry would casually go to Jitters and stay there until he was called off to be the Flash. Even as the Flash, he would follow her around and make sure she was safe. He became some-what obsessed with you and was convinced that you were the one. But whenever he rambled about you with Cisco and Caitlin or with Irish and Joe, he'd be turned down with, "You never even spoke to her before."

So today was the day he would speak to you for the first time. Maybe even ask you out on a date. Barry entered the cafe and saw that you were surrounded by a group of men. They threw inappropriate comments at you and it was clear that you were uncomfortable.

It didn't take long for Barry to realize that behind those comments they threw was that they were actually robbing Jitters. "Give us the cash and we won't bash that pretty little face, baby girl." One of the gang members said.

You gulped in fear as you slowly made your way over to the cash register. Barry swiftly exited the building and in seconds came back dressed in the red suit that symbolized hope and justice.

"I think you guys need to leave the pretty girl a lone." Barry remarked. A bullet was shot but the Flash easily caught it. "What is it with you robbers and trying to shoot the fastest man alive?"

"Oh yeah?" A man challenged and then pointed the gun at you. "She ain't so fast, I assume."

"Guess again, prick." You spat as you shoved a scolding, hot pot of coffee in his face and then smashing the pot onto his head.

In a few moments, the Flash had easily got the men in a squad car after apprehending them. "Thank you, Flash." You smiled.

"I got a question, miss." Barry asked, vibrating his voice.

"Shoot, even though you'll just catch the bullet." You joked, causing Barry to laugh.

"Do you know Barry Allen?" You gave a confused face. Why would he ask that? That's such a bizarre question but you nodded as you did know the very handsome young man that was Iris West's, your co-worker's, best friend. "What are your thoughts? I mean on him, of course."

You sighed, "he's handsome but he looks like he has secrets. Every time I try to talk to him, he always rushes off." You gave a small laugh. "I don't know why I told you that."

The Flash was gone and then Barry Allen walked through the doors. "What happened?" He asked, trying his best to act surprised.

"So you're not rushing away this time." You muttered before explaining about the robbery.

"Oh, wow. I should've came earlier, I would've gotten those guys down so fast-" Barry rambled but stopped himself. "Are you alright? They didn't hurt you, did they?"

You shook your head. "Why would you care?"

"Because I think you're the best person in the whole wide world and I don't want someone to ruin your beautiful face." Barry blurted out and then instantly blushed as you cracked a smile. "I mean, because I like you." And then pulled you into a sweet kiss.

You pulled away, much to Barry's dismay. "At least take me out to dinner first, Barry." You joked with a smile.

He returned that kind smile and said, "I'll Take You Up On That."
