A/N: Hey there! This is my first time writing a full length story and it is a crossover. This story is slight AU, I think. Enjoy some FitzSimmons and SnowBarry!
Fitz is on an off from field and visiting an old friend. Technically, surprising her with his presence. He has never seen her for almost a year. The last time he saw her was devastating.
Her fiancée died in an accident.
Caitlin was preparing her purse when someone suddenly knock on her front door. "Coming!" she announced to whoever it is on the other side of the door. She opened it and can not believe what her eyes were seeing. "Oh my God Fitz!" she hugged him tightly. "Well, hello to you too Caitlin," he said out of breath. "Come in."
Caitlin called her colleagues at STAR Labs. She told them that she won't be able to go to work today.
There they were talking about nonsense.
Fitz told her some adventures he had like when he met Sif the godess of war who also happens to be a companion of Thor. Caitlin told him if he also had seen Thor if he really is that built, how tall was he, was he dreamy, which Fitz laughed at and politely said no.
In the middle of their conversation, Caitlin suddenly asked, "Where's Jemma?" 'She just really needs to ask that didn't she.' Fitz thought.
"She's uh, she's at work," Fitz lamely replied which gained him a suspicious look from Caitlin. She didn't pry though. She knows that he will tell her whenever he is ready.
Back at STAR Labs, Cisco was repairing the torn suit that Barry wore the other day. He was also adding features when suddenly Barry whooshed his way in. "Hey, Cisco!" he greeted. "Oh hey, look at this, do you think adding Kevlar would be comfortable while you're running. i mean, it would lessen your injuries but it may also cause-" "Yes Cisco, I think its fine." Barry interrupted him from rambling. "Okay!" Cisco went back at his work. That was when Barry noticed.
"Where's Caitlin?" he asked.
"She said she won't be able to come to work today." Dr. Wells answered him while wheeling his way to them. "And why's that?" he asked again. "She didn't really tell," Cisco answered without elaboration. "Look, Barry Caitlin rarely takes a day off but when she does, it is an important matter," told him and he just nodded.
"Now let us test your speed again."
Barry knows that he shouldn't be worried. But the fact that Caitlin rarely takes a day off would not leave his mind so he decided to go to her house.
He was strolling when he saw that her lights were open. He knocked on the door and waited for her.
Caitlin was about to bring up the subject again after Fitz explained his invention the night-night pistol, when someone knocked on her door again. Caitlin stood up and answered the door. "Barry." "Hey Caitlin, may I come in?" "Sure."
"So what brings you here?" she asked him. "Uh-" Barry was about to reply when he saw someone in Caitlin's kitchen. "Who is he?" he asked. "Oh. Barry this is Leo Fitz and Fitz this is Barry Allen." she introduced them to each other. They shook each other's hands and sat down on her sofa.
They talked about their occupation (which both were careful not to spill anything). Schools they attended. Favorite food, color and everything. Barry starts to like the guy for he manages to catch every references he made about tv shows and movies. Fitz also cracked jokes he understood. He could see clearly why Caitlin enjoyed his company.
Caitlin went to the kitchen to prepare them dinner.
"I just wish I brought Jemma with me. She's more fun than I am." Fitz suddenly droppped the bomb.
From that moment Barry saw that even though Fitz was there, his mind was elsewhere.
He suddenly asked, "Who's Jemma by the way?' and quickly covered his mouth. "It's okay." Fitz laughed at Barry's actions. He then took a deep breath. "She's uh, my best friend. or was." Barrry must have had a confused look so Fitz tried to elaborate. "Well it's complicated." Barry understood what he meant. The words left unspoken was clear to him.
"Hey guys! Do you want to eat or not? I made Carbonara."
They made their way to the dining room.
"So Caitlin." Fitz starts. "Hmm," she looked at him questioningly. "I would be truthful to you. In the past months, I was suffering from Hypoxia. It was hard for me to speak. I-I can't say the exact word I wanted to say. My hand also was damaged. You may have noticed that- that I stutter every time. A-a-and i know it's all confusing. God i just wanted to tell you everything b-but I can't."
Caitlin went by his side soothing his back comfortingly.
He continued telling his story from where he was in a pod with Jemma. He confessed his feelings. How he didn't give her time to process things. How he saved her life. Some he left unexplained.
He really could not explain everything to them. He can't say that he and Jemma are agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. when it is believed to be gone. He can not tell that they are fighting off bad guys called Hydra and out of this world things and creatures. In short, he can not explain how they got there in the first place.
"Hello, Sir. What is it about?" he asked Coulson on the other line. "Where were you going again?" Coulson asked him. "Confused about his answer Fitz said, "Central City sir. Excuse me, sir, but is there a problem?" "Actually yes. You remember Donnie Gill?" "Uh yes." "He's alive and I believe he's making his way to where you are now."
