"Barry- It's fine. I can do it." I insisted, pecking his lips, admiring how extra caring he was being since I got injured. It was nothing, because I could do things on my own.

He lightly shook his head, setting the book I was reading previously down on the coffee table, grabbing the leftover Chinese take out from last night, reheating it for me, sitting back down on the couch next to me, refusing to let me do anything myself, handing me the foam container.

"Barry- the wound already healed." I told him, referring to the bullet wound I had a while ago, that was slightly scarred but healed.

"Honey- warming up take out for you isn't anything." He kisses my cheek, as I roll my eyes playfully.

"I'm going back to work tomorrow. I can do things like this by myself." I complain lightly, propping a piece of chicken in my mouth.

"Mmm-" He wraps his arms around me and leans his head against my shoulder, "Lets not talk about that right now, and let me do everything."

"Barry."

-

My heels clicked as I walked into Barry and Julian's shared lab, dressed in a dark green blouse that was tucked into black jeans that had a rip or two here and there, my badge and holster attached to my belt, my hair straight, as I held a file folder in my hand, bringing this information in to them for Cecile Horton.

Barry's head immediately snapped in my direction at the sound of my footsteps, a smile forming on his lips, "Detective- hey."

"Hi, Barry-" I smile lightly, pressing a peck to his lips, looking at Julian, "Julian." I nod towards him in a small greeting.

"Morning-" He fixes his tie, as Barry got up for his seat, my eyes landing on another husk.

"Another?" I look at the both of them, Barry giving me a small nod, "Yeah- number six. We found it last night."

"Well-" I open the folder, double checking the papers inside of it, my eyes scanning through the words before closing it, handing Barry the folder, "This should come as a welcome surprise. You've been reassigned as meta-human crime scene investigation full time."

"Full time?" Julian questions quick.

"Yeah, full time." I nod, looking at Barry, "We're pouring all the resources we can to figure out this husk problem. Especially- since the last one turned out to be The Rival. Any questions or concerns, you guys can direct that to Judge Hankerson, alright?"

"All right." Julian nods, turning around, returning back to his work.

"Thank you." Barry sets the folder down, kissing my cheek.

I hum in response, walking towards the door, pausing once I heard Joe and Cecile speaking. Barry's eyes furrow in confusion as he comes by me, starting to listen in also, his eyes slightly widening in excitement.

We heard footsteps, causing us to jump away from the door, Barry turning and pretending to look through some chemicals on a shelf, as I clear my throat, starting to leave the room as I was once was doing.

Joe walks in, grabbing my arm, stopping me from leaving, immediately spinning me around, "No- I need you in here."

I lose my balance due to how fast the spin was, a small 'oh' leaving my mouth as I start to fall forward, Barry being quick to catch me before I fall any further.

My face was shoved into his chest, as I took in his scent, a smile forming on my lips as I pull away, standing up straight next to Barry, clearing my throat as my eyes land on Joe, a grin playing at my lips.
