Barry Allen/Grant Gustin Imagines Pt.2

Innocent

Iris and Barry were sitting at the West table talking on Christmas Eve. Everyone else was in the family room playing charades.

"The alarm went off at the loft. It's probably just gifts. I'll be right back." Barry said as he looked confused at his phone alert.

"Okay, be safe." Iris smiled warmly and kissed his cheek.

Barry sped off to the loft. He quickly unlocked the door and turned off the alarm. He heard his phone buzz and picked it up.

"Hello?" Barry answered his phone.

"Hello mr. Allen." Said a voice Barry had recognized from minutes before.

"Dominic?" Barry asked unsure of what was happening.

(I don't want to be put the whole phone convo.)

Barry slowly put his phone down on the table in the loft. He walked behind the couch. He saw a trail of blood. Then he saw a body. Devoe's body.

Barry couldn't speak. He already heard captain Singh calling out his name to open the door.

Barry went into flash time and looked at his and Iris' picture a few years ago. "Don't run."

The door came crashing open with a whole police team coming in. "Barry Allen, your under arrest for the murder of Clifford DeVoe." Said Captain Singh putting Barry in handcuffs.

Iris got a call from the CCPD to come to her house. "Dad? Why did I just get a call from CCPD? Barry's not back yet. Do you think somethings wrong?" Iris asked frantically taking her father to another room to talk.

"Let's go." Said Joe as he quickly told the others where they had to go.

They drove to the loft to see police cars all around the building. The lights. The sounds. It made everything feel so familiar.

"Mrs. West-Allen?" Asked a officer as she approached her loft door. She saw yellow tape that said "do not cross" all along it.

"What's happening. Where's my husband." Iris demanded the police officer. Joe held her hand to keep her sane.

"I'm afraid he's been accused of murdering Clifford DeVoe ma'am." Said the officer.

"Where is my husband." Iris demanded. "He's inside." Said the officer pointing to inside the loft.

She saw blood trails to Devoe's body. Barry didn't do this. She was with him the whole night. Barry would never take a life, what he's been through. She just wished the whole city knew that.

"Captain Singh what are you doing!" Iris yelled as she made her way through her house and the tape.

"Iris." Barry whispered through his silent tears and tear stained face.

"Barry? What's going on?" Iris asked approaching him walking up to touch him.

"No interacting nor touching miss." Said an officer next to Barry.

"I'm going to touch my husband whether you like it or not." Iris sassed and kisses and hugged Barry. Of course, with the handcuffs he couldn't hug back but she knew he desperately wanted to.

"Iris. I didn't do it. God, I didn't do it." Barry whispered into her ear as she had her arms around his torso.

"I know baby. I know you didn't do this. Of course I know." She said whimpering into his shoulder.

"I just want to hold you." Barry cried softly. "I can't believe this is happening to us." Barry sobbed quietly.

"I can't believe you have to go through what your dad had to." Iris cried.

"It's not fair. You deserve everything Iris, and you married a man with so much baggage. I'm so sorry." Barry sniffled.

"Don't ever say that. I love you so much. We'll get through this. But I don't want you to leave me barry. You already left me for 6 months. Now jail? You won't survive in there Barry. Central city needs the flash." Iris cried.

"I know I know. I've handled a lot of bad things, I think this may be the easiest. But the hardest part will be not waking up with you." Barry said.

"We are going to do everything to get you out of this Barry. I promise. I love you." Iris let go of the hug and stared into his eyes.

She slowly wiped his tears. "I love you Iris." Barry put his head down in shame.

Again. Another Allen being arrested for a crime he didn't commit. What is wrong with this city. Do they not see an innocent sweet man who wouldn't kill a fly? Do they not see a shy CSI who likes to cuddle with his wife and watch movies. Do they not see a awkward young man with a personality that everyone likes him? They don't know that... because they don't know the Barry she does.
