Barry's Perspective:

   "Cheater!" I proclaimed, crossing my arms across my chest, "I mean, don't get my wrong. It was a nice distraction." My cheeks filled with a rose pink, and my lips spread to a wide smile.

  "I like distractions too, you know," her mouth curled to a sly grin. She laid her palm on my chest and threw herself against me. Her lips entwined with mine as I tangled my hands through her dark hair. Our lips parted as she shifted down my neck.

  "WHAT ARE YOU DOING?" A booming voice interrupted, breaking our heated moment. I spun around and cursed under my breath.

  "Joe, we're married. When are you going to be okay with this?"

  "I throw up in my mouth every time. Just-" Joe paused, "Do it in privacy."

  Iris and I smiled at each other and our fingers intertwined. We swung our arms back and forth, acting delirious with passion.

  "Anyways," he exhaled deeply, "How's my little angel doing with her new powers?!" His eyes filled with excitement as he jumped in for an embrace. Iris stood still while her father gave her a massive bear hug.

  "Da-ad!" Iris stretched out the word making it two separate syllables. He rocked her back and forth rolling on his tip-toes.

  Iris suddenly vibrated in place; lightning sparked off her body as she phased out of her dad's death grip.

  "What?! I haven't even taught you that yet!" I exclaimed, kissing the top of her head.

  "Well, I guess you can call me a fast learner!" Iris joked, flinging her hair back in a hearty laugh. I joined with her, bending over in laughter. Joe bore a blank expression, clearly not amused.

  "Phasing? No. Don't ever do that again," he held his stomach, his face queasy. We continued laughing-that is- until Joe gave us that stop-laughing-I'll-arrest-you-look.

  Suddenly, Iris broke the silence, "Did anyone just feel a chill?"

I wasn't about to answer "no", but then a shiver ran up my spine, forming goosebumps on my skin. A cloud escaped my breath as I responded, "Yeah, I feel it too..."

  Joe searched around or proximity, his hand on his pistol. The faint sounds of cracking sounded in the distance, like the crystallization of gas. The molecules in the air around us slowed, decreasing the temperature dramatically.  

  A dark figure loomed at the horizon. As the shadow grew, I could see it's more feminine features. A woman emerged from the fog; her frosted curls and ghastly skin  paired with her crisp, blue lips. Her icy eyes glared at me as her fingers formed claws at her sides.

  "Hello, Flash." she snarled. She hurled diamonds of ice and sleet in my direction. I tried to dodge the attack, but ice struck my leg, leaving me vulnerable for more sever blows.
