She's Special

Chapter Five

As we pulled into the S.T.A.R Labs I grabbed my bag that I took with me to the bar and walked in with Dr. Wel- Harrison. We walked down into the rec room where three chairs were an one big couch. I walked over to the table where Dr. Wells sat a Tylenol and a glass of water. 

"Why were you at the bar tonight, really?" I asked 

"What? Can't a man drown his sorrows and not have to explain himself?" he laughed 

"Fair enough." 

"Why were you there?" He asked looking up at me 

"A  friend wanted me to go, and I thought it help me forget about someone." 

"So you thought getting drunk would let you forget about them?" he asked

"Honestly, I just wanted to make mistakes tonight, be reckless." 

"I get it. That's what's being a teenager is about, but you have to stop and think. Will I regret what I am going to do." Harrison said looking up at me

As we finished talking I pulled out my homicide files from Singh and started looking over them. 

"Do you want any help?" 

"Uh sure." I said as he pulled up  chair and putting it beside me. 

"So, what's the case about?" Harrison asked moving his knee closer to mine. 

"um.. it-its about a freak accident in a e-elevator." I stuttered 

"Do you think there was any foul play?"   

"Well from the back and fourth impact, I think I it might have been a meta-human. Someone that can control technology or something." I said looking at him

"Well," he said moving his hand over the file, touching my bare arm. "I think you might be right. Even if there was a malfunction, there's no way that could have caused that much force to the victim." he said leaning into the table. 

"Y-yeah, you're right." I said brushing my hand over his thigh by accident. 

"uh.um.. I think I should go." Harrison said 

"Or you could stay.." 

"If I stay I might do something i'll regret," he said looking down at his feet. 

"Do what?" I asked looking at him 

"Kiss you..." 

"Do it.." I bit my lip looking at him

Harrison looked up and stared at me, one thing moved to the next. His lips were on mine, it felt amazing. As he pulled away he took a deep breath.

"I've been wanting to do that since the minute I first met you, the way you say my name and bit your lip when your thinking... it drives me crazy skyler, you drive me crazy. I know I shouldn't feel this way but I do, but 'us' can't happen... Your only 16, and we can't tell the team about this okay?" he said 

"Yeah...I'm going to go to sleep." 

"Can I join you," 

"Yeah, i'd like that." I replied 

The next morning I was woken up by  people talking in the cortex. Harrison's arm was wrapped around me making me blush. 

"Harrison, get up." I whispered 

"No, i'm comfortable." He complained 

"If you don't let me get up, Cisco and Caitlin are going to walk in and see their boss sleeping with me. They will get the wrong idea." I said 

"Fine, " he turned towards me, "I had fun last night." 

"Me too, now get up." I laughed making him grown sitting up. 

I grabbed my bag and walked out into the cortex. Caitlin and Cisco were on  the computer looking at what looked like a treadmill. 

"Hey guys, what's up," 

"Hey Skyler, your here early. Is Dr. Wells here?" Caitlin asked 

"I'm right here, how's the speed treadmill going?" Dr. Wells asked walking into the cortex, his shirt missing two buttons. 

"Your shirt.." I whispered 

"Oh... thanks," He replied quietly

"Alright everyone walk with me, we are going to the Speed Lab." Cisco said walking down the hallway. 

"The speed lab?" I questioned 

"Its what we are calling the room that has  our super treadmill, it can be used to test your speed inside." Caitlin said looking at her tablet. 

"Okay, so just it that green button and start running." Dr. Wells smiled 

"Okay, start running," Caitlin said looking at me. 

"Hey the treadmill is holding-" Cisco stopped as I fell right off the treadmill. 

"What happened " Caitlin asked 

"I just got distracted, just somethings that happened last night flashed in my head," I said looking over to see Dr. Wells smirking.
