"So what would you like to do?"
I look up at him and he raised an eyebrow at me waiting for an answer.
"Could you move me from this wheelchair to the bed, so I'm more comfortable?"
He gives me a look.
"Please?"
He sighs and bends down to pick me up bride style. I quickly put my arm around him for support. He picks me up. We were so close I could feel his rapid speedster heart and his breathing. I try not to reflexively snuggle into him. I do not need the boys teasing or making snide remarks about my nonexistent relationship with Thawne.
He looks at me smiling and takes me over to the bed, gently placing my back close to the pillows. I quickly rearranged them to be square to my back as he gently sits down next to me, a mere feet apart."You know, we never did ever get to go dancing."
"Or to a dinner date, or a coffee date, or.."
"Okay! Okay I get the point.. I wasn't always the best boyfriend."
"Half the time it was like I didn't even have one after... after we got our powers. You were so obsessed with the Flash that it consumed you. As for me? I finally got your attention when.. when I saved you both from Godspeed, but afterwards it still felt like you didn't care."
I could feel tears start to roll down my cheek. He leans over and gently wipes away my tears and gently caresses my face.
"No, no I cared, I was just being selfish and a really big jerk, but I'm here, and I promise on my life, on my speed, that I will make up for lost time."
He pulls me up into his lap and holds me close. He gently rubs my right shoulder and lays his head on mine. I closed my eyes and sigh. I feel him look up as we hear the doors to the lab open and footsteps approach. I open my eyes to see Nash and Cisco standing there, looking at me with slight disgust in there eyes.
"Okay, this is cute and all, but we seriously need to start running tests on the system."
"Then do so, I'm not going anywhere. And for the time being neither is she."
I feel Thawne reflexively start holding me tightly to him, like they were going to come in a forcefully take me from him.
"Eo, it's okay, they're right. I'm glad we could do this maybe one of these nights I'll come down here and we can watch a movie, but only if you don't irritate them. Okay?"
I look up at him hoping my reassuring voice would calm the easily angered speedster whose arms I was currently in. He looks down to see my pleading expression and sighs.
"Alright fine, but you have to promise you'll have dinner with me later."
"I promise, Big Belly burgers and sodapop, and maybe a movie."
"Sounds like we've got a deal then."
He picks me up, carries me to the wheelchair and gently sets me down.
"Hey Nash could you open the door for me?"
"Yeah, if speedster boy could just back up. Please?"
The last bit sounded extremely sarcastic, I look over and nod at him.
"Please Eo, don't make this more difficult than it has to be."
I look back at Eobard as he turns around and sits back down on his bed, glaring at Nash.
The door finally opens and I roll in, Nash backing up, opens the other door as the inner cell door closes.I look at the two men in front of me.
"Don't do anything I wouldn't do, and definitely don't do anything you would normally do. Behave, if you don't I will know and I am a force to be reckoned with, paralyzed or not."
I give them the 'I'm watching you' hand signal and start to roll away.
"Hey, Kymina, you know you could stay right?" Cisco calls out.
"Yeah, I know"
"Then why don't you?" I hear Nash reply as I near the doors.
I shrug.
"Don't want to."
"Wait, Kymina!"
"Byyye!"
I roll out the door as I hear Eobard laughing and the boys shouting at him to shut it.
Outside of S.T.A.R labs
I move the wheelchair down the ramp and on to the pavement.
"Now where to? Hmmm, I could seriously go for a coffee. Let's see if the Jitters here is better than the one from my timeline."
I start navigating in that direction, when I see a red blur move past me back to the lab. That was probably Jay and Barry let's hope they don't cause trouble for Thawne and stick with training.
I keep heading in the direction the GPS on the tablet showed me, enjoying the sights and sounds as I went.
