Sweet but Psycho

Chapter 10

The next morning Iris could hear pans and plates being moved around. She entered the kitchen with Benny right behind her. Uh, what's going on here? She asked, surprised. Good morning, I, Uh, was just making breakfast. Barry stammered. Oh no you didn't have to do that. Iris said still flabbergasted. Well, you're letting me stay here so it's the least I can do. Barry gave a little smile.

Iris fed Benny and Felix before taking a seat to watch Barry prepare the breakfast. Barry had made scrambled eggs, bacon and pancakes. They enjoyed their breakfast as they engaged in conversation.

At the time Barry has been staying with Iris, he had stopped fidgeting with his fingers as it became a habit to him. Instead, each time he felt like fidgeting with his fingers, he would pet Felix. Benny had played a big role in Barry's life. He would calm him down if Barry was feeling agitated or wanting to do something he would regret. Even when the voices would return and tell him to do something bad, he would just ignore them and by petting Benny, they would just fade away.

Barry never had any pets growing up, that was one of the disadvantages of growing up with an abusive uncle. Eobard. The name came to mind. How Barry hated his uncle, and the way he treated him. It was his fault that Barry became the Chemist. All those smacks, kicks, punches and words turned him into the Chemist. He still wanted his revenge. Killing all those innocent girls wasn't enough, he needed more. But there was Iris, Iris made him pure, greater and safe. She was changing him in a way. Ever since they arrived at the house, Barry felt something he had never felt in a million years. And that was.... Happiness.
