Barry Allen/Flash One Shots

Bad Thoughts and Being Drunk Part 1

3rd person
Team Flash new Barry couldn't get drunk and was pretty upset about it at times when he really needed a break. So Cisco and Caitlin made a special drink to get him buzzed for the night so he could have a little fun after all his hero work.

*time skip a few days*

"I'm going take him to the police station. They can handle him from there." Barry says as he speed the robber to the CCPD where they arrest him.

"Great work Barry!" Cisco says through the comms.

"You got anything else for me Cisco?" Barrys asks as he stops running to wait for an answer.

"Surprisingly you got them all. Well not surprising, you've been working all day you need a break bear. Come back to Star Labs and well talk there."Cisco tells him.

"Ok, fine but only because there's no new people to catch." Barrys says as he reluctantly agrees.

Barrys POV
I don't want to go back to Star Labs because I'm just so worried about zoom and everything else. Catching the bad guys is the only thing that keeps me sane. Which is pretty weird. But if I take a break it just gives me more time to think about life. Which ends up in my punching something or having a breakdown.

"Hey Barry great work out there!" Caitlin says as she walks out of her lab.

"Thanks." I say in a gloomy tone.

"Right." Cisco says.

"What?" I ask in confusion.

"You're stressed Barry. We can tell, you need a break so that's why you are coming with me and Caitlin to the bar tonight."Cisco says.

"It won't help. You know I can't get drunk and I am not stressed Cisco." I say in defense but knowing that I really am.

"Barry don't lie. Anyways me and Cait made a special drink that will give you a buzz all night long." Cisco says with a grin.

"It didn't work last time, what's different about now." I ask.

"Now, I have more knowledge" Cisco replies as he grabs a tiny bottle from the desk cabinet.

"Tonight at 7:00 meet us at the bar downtown" Caitlin says picking up her purse.

"Wow I didn't even notice it's already 5:00." I say as I read the clock. This day has gone by really fast and that's something a speedster never says because everything's literally in slow motion at times.

"Yep. I'm heading out see you guys at seven!" Caitlin says walking on the door.

"Bye!" Cisco yells as the elevator doors close.

"Im about to leave to, need anything before I go?" Cisco asks me.

"No, I'm just gonna stay here for a while and get some information on the new metas." I tell him.

"Don't wear yourself out ok?"he says.

"I won't." I say as he walks down the hall.

I walk around search through the computers at a normal speed so it will take longer and I won't have to sit with my thoughts. I scroll through the long list of new metas that has been discovered. I think to myself I'm not any better than them. I may stop the crime but I always end up hurting people in the process. Ronnie died for the second time because of me. Eddie died because of me. Even my mom died because of me. I cause so much pain and suffering to others all because I'm the Flash. These metas I see. I'm not any better. I'm just the same as them. These thoughts keep repeating in my mind when I finally have enough. I speed away. I run and run. I don't stop until I've run around the city 50 times. I'm not tired but I just can't run anymore. All the pain comes surfacing back to the top. I stop completely. I find myself in an ally. I check the time 6:55. Crap! I have to be at the bar at 7:00. I run back to my place and get ready.
6:58
I speed to the bar and arrive just in time.

"Barry Allen on time. Something must be wrong." Cisco says laughing as he pats my shoulder.

I slightly chuckle which Caitlin immediately noticed.

"There it is!" Caitlin says as she points out my giggle.

"I missed that Barry." Caitlin says to me and we walk in the doors of the bar.

As we walk in I hear Twist and Shout coming from someone singing at the karaoke stage.

"Well shake it up baby now!"

"Shake it up baby!" The crowd sings

"Twist and shout!"

"Twist in shout!" The crowd repeats again.

The song eventually ends and the guy singing on stage gets a loud applause and sits back down at his seat.

"Let's get this table." Caitlin points to a table by the side of the bar.

I see Cisco take a bottle out of his jacket.

"You ready for the best night of your life Barry!" Cisco asks super excitingly.

"Ready as I'll ever be." I give in as he hands me the bottle. I open the cap and down it.

I instantly feel a buzz I haven't felt in 2 years.

"Woah now that definitely works. I say slurring my words just a bit.

After about 5 minutes I feel competing drunk. Only having that tiny tiny bottle of Cisco's drink.

Caitlins POV
I think me and Cisco may miscalculated how drunk Barry would get.

"Barry? Barry!" I yell trying to get his attention.

"Heeeeyyyyy Caitlinnn" he responded back completely slurring his speech.

"Having fun bear?" Cisco asks not knowing Barry is full on drunk.

"Ciscooo my man-burp- heyyy dudeee" Barrys says as he sees Cisco.

"Caitlin what happened? I go to the bathroom and come back out to a very drunk speedster." Cisco asks me.

"We may have miscalculated the extent of Barrys drink." I tell him with a hint of worry in my tone.
