Metas
He didn't have to tell you about her. You knew. He'd cried her name enough times in his sleep for you to know that he'd loved her. Iris. The woman the Flash couldn't save. You didn't talk about it, no one did. She'd been Barry's girlfriend, Joe's daughter, Wally's sister. Caitlin and Cisco's friend. He didn't know you knew about her. He didn't know that you knew that he was the Flash. He didn't know that you were able to read minds. "Barry." You whisper gently shaking him as he tosses and turns in the bed next to you. "Barry." He flies up and out of the bed then sits down quickly so that you can't help but stare at him in surprise. "Yea baby?" He mumbles, his voice thick with sleep. "You were having a nightmare. Are you okay?" "Yea. I'm sorry I woke you." "You didn't." You lie. You can't control your powers in your sleep. You've been experiencing this same dream with him every night for the past month. "I was awake." You eye him cautiously, "Do you wanna talk about it?" "No." His phone chirps and he pulls it off of the nightstand. "Barry this is the third time this week you've woken up from a nightmare." "I know baby." He says reading the message on his phone, "I gotta go. Joe needs me at a crime scene." He presses a quick kiss to the top of your head before starting for the door. His fingers texting Joe back. "As Barry or the Flash?" You ask as he grabs his coat. He freezes as your words hit him. "What?" "You heard me." He turns on his heels and stares at you. It takes every ounce of willpower you've got not to read his mind. "Me? The Flash." He gives an anxious chuckle. "Don't lie to me." You snap, "You're not the only meta in the room." "You. You're a meta-human?" "Yes." "What can you do?" "Read minds." He stares at you in disbelief, "I can control it, mostly, the only time I can't is when I'm sleeping. I know you're having nightmares about her, about that night. I know because I'm having them too Barry." You blurt out, before he can run away. "I-." His phone rings and he looks desperately from you to it. "Go. I'll still be here when you get back. I'll make some tea." You tell him and before you can even blink he's kissing you, one hand on the back of your head the other under your chin. Then he's gone. You make the tea and wait for him to come home. It doesn't take long, this time he comes home in the red flash suit and your jaw practically hits the floor he looks so good. "I'm sorry I didn't tell you. Why didn't you tell me? And I love you." He says coming toward you as he pulls off his mask. "It's okay. I didn't want to freak you out. And I love you too." "Did we just have our first fight?" He asks, that crooked smile you adore on his face. "I think so." "Then I should probably kiss you. You know, 'kiss and make up' and all." He teases and you laugh. "What's taking so long Flash?" You quip and he laughs before his lips collide with yours.
