Harrison Wells x Reader Fanfiction

Chapter 4 - Final

You hummed along to a tune in your head, a cup of coffee in your hand as you bounced through the halls of S.T.A.R Labs. It was the afternoon, Cisco had a date with gypsy, Caitlin was off covering some research and Barry was probably somewhere following Iris around like a puppy dog. You were grateful for the space, now you could have some well deserved one on one time with Harry. It was tough, with your workload at the hospital, and Central City constantly being attacked by meta humans, there was rarely any down time for you and Harry. 

The sadder part was that not much happened after you both admitted your feelings. You hadn't even kissed yet. You didn't pay much mind to it though. This was still pretty new, and he was from another earth. Maybe dating was different on their earth. You kept telling yourself that because Harry hadn't really made much of a move on you. Which was weird because he was the take charge type. Aside from longing looks from across the room and cute smiles exchanged between you two, there wasn't much going on.

As slow as you were willing to take it, three months had passed. He should have at least tried to kiss you by now.

"(Y/N)." you jumped, turning at the person calling to you.

"Detective West." you smiled. "You startled me." He smiled back.

"Well you were standing there just spacing out for a good few seconds. I just came to grab some paperwork Barry left here." he moved over to the desk, picking up a box. When he got it he titled his head. "Well enjoy the rest of your evening. " When he said that and got no response he just looked at you. You blinked and then answered. "O-Oh yes, thank you. " you tucked a strand of hair behind your ear moving to sit down and gather your thoughts. Joe seemed a bit conflicted to leave now. "Is everything okay, you look a bit off?"

"That obvious huh." you laughed. He nodded, moving closer, he braced the box on the table giving you a comforting look.

"What's bothering you?" you didn't know how to phrase this in a way that wouldn't make the entire conversation awkward, so you just flat out said it.

"Harry he..he hasn't really done anything yet. I feel like I made my feelings known and he did too yet, we're at a sort of impasse." Joe understood. You could see the gears turning in his head.

"Well, if I'm being honest, in the time I've known him he's not been the most socially adapted person. It took a while for us to even tolerate each other. Chances are he wants to be more intimate with you, but he isn't sure how. I think you just need to let him know what you want. Hints are already hard for us regular guys to pick up on, so for him it might be near impossible. " you almost burst out a laugh.

"That's true." you said trying to contain your smile. You knew Joe was a pillar of wisdom, but what Barry told you didn't do him justice. You were glad you could confide in him. It didn't even make you uncomfortable. Somehow it felt like a parent-child conversation. The guy oozed paternal energy. "Thank you, really. " Joe nodded, lifting the box.

"Always here to help!" he called while walking out the building. With your recent advice you figured you'd go and do just that. If you didn't tell Harry what you wanted, you were positive this would go on for the next three months. You couldn't have that. You picked up your coffee, moving to go and find the brooding scientist.

Just as you stepped into the hallway, a flash of lightning caught your view. You almost fell back on your butt. Your eyes moved to where the red suited hero was laying on the ground screaming in pain. You tossed your coffee rushing over to him.

"F-Flash what's wrong!!" Your eyes caught an arrow that was lodged into his stomach. You pulled out your phone dialing Caitlin.

"C-Caitlin get everyone to the lab now, s-something's wrong with Flash!" she didn't stay on long enough to ask questions. You dropped your phone trying to console him. From what Cisco once told you he had incredible healing abilities so why weren't they working. The more he moved the more blood seemed to come out of his wound.
