I walk into the hall that leads into the cortex, starting to slightly pace in the middle of the hallway.

I was thinking about so many things, I didn't know what to do with myself instead of pacing. I let my hair down from my bun, it falling down to its full length to my waist, it being wavy and slightly messy. I put the hair tie onto my wrist, and run a hand through my hair, fixing it as much as I could, as I continued to pace, my fingers playing with the hair tie that rested on my wrist.

I heard footsteps come down the hall, but I completely ignore them, as I continue to pace, but my attention was caught when I saw that it was Barry Allen, walking towards it, but it didn't stop me from pacing back and forth in the small area I was already pacing in.

My back turns towards him as I pace, then slowly turns back opposite of him, as he slowly grabs onto my forearms, stopping me, his hands going to my face, as he leans down and presses his lips on mine.

I freeze, but slowly melt into the kiss as my hands go to the back of his neck, feeling suddenly calm. He lightly leads me back into the wall and holds me there, his hands on my hips as the kiss continues for a small while.

As I snap back into reality, I pull away from the kiss, not pulling my face away from his, just slightly tilting my head down. "Barry-" my voice calls out his name weakly, as a small whisper that was threaded with confusion and stress, due to amount of emotions I was feeling at once. "What're you doing-" I ask quietly, but he stops me from talking.

"I'm going out. And getting what makes me happy." He says softly, his voice as quiet as mine to match me, confirming why he was doing this.

"But Patty-" I start to say but he cuts me off, "I went to ccpd and ended it with her." He pauses, then lightly leans his forehead against mine, his voice coming out as a whisper, his voice slightly raspy, "The entire time I was on that date with her- I couldn't focus on her. I kept thinking about you."

I felt as if I was dreaming.

"You finally figured what you want?" I look up at him, my voice still quiet.

A small smile appears on his lips, as he moves his forehead away from mine, giving me a sly nod, "I want you."

Before I could stop myself, I was hugging onto him as tight as I could. A chuckle leaves his lips as he hugs back, holding onto me.

I slip away from his grip, "We should- go- do some- work- cause we're. well-" I try to explain wanting to go to the cortex by everyone else to see if we had anything else to get done, but my words were coming out uncontrollably and confusingly. He laughs quietly then nods, walking into the cortex with me, as I walk over to Caitlin who was looking over Harry's shoulder, whom was watching the footage from our plan over and over.

Barry took a phone call, soon us all knowing t was with Iris, before he pulls his phone away from his ear, "Zoom has Linda." He states, causing panic to build up in my chest, Harry's meta watch going off, the alarms also going off.

"He's on the roof." Cisco states, and with that, Barry was gone.

A shaky breath leaves me, as Caitlin sets a hand on my shoulder, "It'll be okay." She whispers to me.

I blankly nod, as I nervously play with my hands. I had a feeling it wouldn't.

A few minutes later, we were already watching from the computer screen, is crowded around it, as Caitlin spoke, "Zoom cannot be human."

"He is- or was." Harry answers, followed by Cisco speaking, "How the hell is Barry going to defeat that?"

"He's not ready yet." I mess with my hair tie as I spoke; my eyes fixed on the screen.
