The Flash: The Meeting of Flash and Canary
(The latest in the line of Flash Fics, wanted to try a pairing not yet tried, in the earlier comic books Flash had a romantic interest in Canary which never went anywhere, so I think I'd give it a try on here… going to do 2, Sara Lance/ Barry and then Laurel Lance/Barry… then you can ask for a sequel on which you like best, hope you enjoy)
Barry and Cisco were playing their round of ping pong while Caitlin and Doctor Wells were busy calibrating the sensors on the Star Labs satellite allowing them to track the Meta-human they been hunting for a few days, a jewel thief with the art to turn invisible, pass the sensors and towards their chosen target.
Sara Lance was in Central City searching for the same jewel thief in Central City unknown to her that she was tracking a Meta-human, this thief had heisted priceless artefacts from the Starling City museum.
Barry and Cisco narrowed down the possible target using the previous targets that were hit in the past to predict the next target and Barry sped away towards the target.
Sara Lance aka the Canary was waiting for her target at the location and her eyes widened when the Flash stopped below her in the alleyway and watched the building opposite, she smiled to herself as he was everything Felicity described, he looked like the type who has seen darkness but somehow he brightened everything up… he brought hope.
Barry was having sneaky suspicions that he was being watched but focused on the job at hand when Cisco came through on the communicator "Barry, according to the sensor modules you placed around the target, I'm getting readings inside the building" Cisco announced and Barry sped in.
Sara decided to go in too and found the Flash fighting with a man who seemed to appear and disappear at random, getting her weapon out she began to attack at the invisible opponent, Barry was confused as hell but he was not going to turn away help from the mysterious stranger, probably because she was wearing leather.
Sarah had no idea what they were up against but then again, fighting alongside a man who is the faster man alive seemed quite normal to her, being away from her family, on Lian Yu then Ra's Al Ghul, she had seen things that were beyond reasoning.
Barry was tripped up and landed onto his back, Sara was unprepared for the sweep kick to her legs sending falling on top of Barry Allen, they lay there looking into each-other's eyes until Barry rolled them away from glass case about to crush them, now laying on top of her Barry gave her a nervous smile which made her smile.
Barry had been having a tough time recently with everything that had happened but somehow she made him feel better about it, His feelings for Iris had more or less dissipated after a while, she had talked to him a few weeks ago apologising that she could not feel the same way about him but hoped they were still best friends, Iris did not want to lose him and
Barry distanced himself from her and decided to complete his training the next time Reverse Flash came around.
The invisible man escaped through the exit to freedom while Barry pulled Sarah to her feet and checked her head which was cut from the glass, hissing in pain from Barry brushing a thumb over her wound he lifted her up and sped her away to Star Labs to get help.
Star Labs:
Cisco was staring blankly at Sara which was making her feel a bit on edge and a little bit freaked out, not to mention a light smirk seeing some drool running down his chin, Barry was more or less entranced by her too but was being less obvious about it.
Cisco turned to Barry and whispered "Dude, I think I'm in love" Barry laughed to himself and turned away shaking his head "You're not the only one" he muttered while Caitlin rolled her eyes and went back to dealing with the cut on Sara's head.
"So tell me, you all hunt these…" Sara was looking for the right word.
"Meta-human's" Caitlin replied "When the Star Labs blew, Particles were released into the air and some people began developing abilities" Caitlin explained.
"Like your friend" Sara looked to Barry who had his back to her whilst he was talking to Cisco.
Caitlin nodded her head and noticed the look in Sara's eyes before finishing up and smiled "All done" she said and Sara smiled gratefully pulling her jacket on and headed over to the boys "Felicity told me about you Barry, she was not wrong" She smiled as Barry looked a bit embarrassed "Uh thanks miss…" he motioned for her name and she happily obliged "Sara Lance" she introduced.
Barry was about to introduce until Cisco pushed him out of the way and shook her hand "I'm Cisco, pleasure to meet you" he smiled and Barry and Caitlin rolled their eyes at him for trying.
"Uh nice to meet you Cisco" she replied and headed over to Barry "and it's a pleasure to meet you Barry" she smiled and Barry gave her his boyish grin and replied "Pleasure to meet you too Sara" he shook her hand and felt a sudden tingle shoot between them, their eyes locked and for a few moments it seemed like it was only them till Sara remembered her life and everything she did in the past, her eyes became drowned in pain and sadness before she released his hand and coughed awkwardly "I'll see you around Barry" she walked away quickly leaving him in stunned silence.
2nd chance, Second Meeting:
Barry waited outside the possible target of the Meta-human unknown to him that Sara was watching from the roof of a nearby building when Cisco gave the signal and Barry sped in through the door and Sara got a signal from her own trap she set up earlier, Barry and the invisible man were locked in heavy combat again and Sara smiled 'We both seem to have a knack for getting into trouble' she thought to herself and she headed in to give him some backup.
Barry and Sarah seemed to be on the losing side until the game changer happened, using her sonic grenade the invisible man dropped out of Invisibility to visible clutching his ears, quickly deactivating the device Barry ran around the Meta-human so fast that he lifted into the air and Barry jumped high and brought his fist into the Meta-humans face sending him crashing back down to the ground.
Star Labs:
Barry and Sara tossed the unconscious Meta-human into a pipeline containment cell and locked it up, Cisco was smiling as he was looking at Sara, she felt the urge to punch him.
Barry could feel her urge to injure Cisco building so he pulled her out into the pipeline corridor where she gave him a grateful smile.
"You know Sara, it's been fun" Barry said nervously wanting to ask her a question.
"Yeah, I'll tell Ollie and Felicity you said hi" she said turning away fast so he would not see the relief in her eyes, truth was she really like Barry but she felt undeserving of him after everything she had done in the past.
Barry breathed deep and Called "Sara… wait" he said.
Sara sighed before turning to face him "Yes Barry"
"I was wondering… if you… wanted to go on a date… with me?" he asked stuffing his hands into his pocket.
Sara looked down at the ground "Barry… you don't want to date me" she said causing him to look confused and she continued "I've done things I'm not proud of, I've killed people" she said and Barry brushed her hair "Sara, you've also done good for your city, both you and Oliver have done things you're not proud of but that does not change my feelings… I want you" he said determined and she smiled "The I would be happy to go out with you" she replied and Barry smiled taking her hands in his "Ok first I got to go drop some evidence off to Joe then we eat" he said and Sara smiled to herself 'this is going to be fun' she thought to herself.
Central City Police Department:
Barry and Sara stepped off the elevator and Barry went to Joe's desk with the evidence file but Joe was too focused on Barry friend who was standing by the elevator, his mouth gaping as he looked her over, Joe looked to Barry and motioned between them and Barry smiled nodding his head.
Joe laughed and clapped a hand on Barry's shoulder, Barry walked back over to Sara and took her hand and went to the elevator where Iris and Eddie were getting off "Hey Bear" Iris greeted taking in Sara who offered her a smile, Eddie on the other hand was staring in shock between Barry and Sara and then smiled.
"Hey Iris" Barry greeted with a smile she had not seen for some time, Sara had brought it out of him somehow.
"Who's your friend?" Iris asked curiously,
"This is Sara… we have a dinner date" Barry grinned and Iris looked shocked as well as Eddie. Joe watched from a distance as Barry and Sara walked hand in hand into the elevator and grinning widely, Barry had not looked this happy in ages and Joe smiled to himself
"A new chapter just for you Barry" Joe smiled and he walked back to his desk.
