"Hensley, where are you?!" Caitlin screamed into the phone.

Pulling it away from my ear slightly, I groaned. "Did you forget that I was having the day off today? All these meta humans recently have been dragging me down."

I've been working at Star Labs for a few weeks now, taking care of the evil meta's that we capture, and sometimes patching up The Flash. He was still getting used to being someone who can run more than 400 miles per hour which caused him to get banged up from time to time.

At the thought of The Flash, my heart beat picked up. I had met him, Barry Allen, a few weeks ago when they needed me to stitch him up from a recent fight. Even though I had a few underlining feelings for him, I wasn't too sure on how he felt about me.

He was nice and warm towards me but every time we had a moment to ourselves, he would come up with an excuse and run out of the room. Which is what caused me to want a day off today, I was beyond confused as to why Barry always acted so weird around me.

"We need you here. Barry was trying to take down The Mist and got some of the gas in his system. He needs you," Caitlin said frantically.

Sighing, I turned the corner in the street and came face to face with the once popular laboratory. I had a feeling that Barry would need my help today so I opted to stay close to Star Labs.

"I'm on my way up."

Hanging up, I sighed as I took the elevator up to the sixth floor. Tapping my foot, I bit my lip, hoping that Barry would be okay. I shook my head at the thought as the doors opened in front of the main part of the lab. Of course he would be okay, he's The Flash.

"How is he?" I asked while I shrugged out of my sweater. Barry was laying on a bed, gasping for breath, Caitlin and Cisco surrounding him.

"Not good," Cisco responded.

"The poison. It's inside." Barry gasped, grabbing my hands. Nodding, I looked over to Dr. Wells.

"He brought us a sample. We need to extract it." Wells ordered.

Doing what I was told, I looked over to Caitlin. "I need a syringe."

She handed me one and Cisco cringed. "It's just a small needle. You won't even feel it." He looked down at Barry.

"Trust me, you'll feel it." Barry's and my eyes met before I licked my lips and stuck the needle into his chest, extracting a sample of the poison.

"His vitals are fine. He'll probably wake up soon." I looked over to the trio and they all nodded.

"Sorry for bringing you in on your day off. Barry was asking for you." Caitlin smiled.

Looking at her then to Barry, I held confusion in my face. "You guys could have stuck a needle into him. Wasn't that hard."

"You've seem to grown on Mr. Allen." Wells said with a smile.

He nodded to Cisco and Caitlin and watching them walk out, I decided to stay here and made sure Barry woke up fine. Sitting in the chair next to his bed, I browsed through my phone, my eyes every once in a while glancing up to Barry.

My heart skipped a beat when I realized how cute he looked asleep. I felt the urge to want to be able to wake up next to that every day as Barry's eyes slowly opened. He looked around the room before his eyes rested on me, a small smile playing at his lips.

"How're you feeling?" I asked, standing up. Looking at his vitals, I realized that he was doing just fine.

"Chest is a little sore. How hard did you stab that needle into me?" He joked, sitting up in bed.

"That's for making me come to work on my day off," I joke as I watched his sit up in bed, rubbing his chest.

Barry laughed and looked around The Cortex. "Where's everyone else?"

My shoulders shrugged. "No idea, they left awhile ago."

Barry's face and mood changed and he rolled out of bed, throwing a shirt over his exposed chest. "Well thanks for, you know, saving me. I'll let you get back to your day off." He gave me an awkwardly wave before he zoomed out of the room, literally.

A soft sigh left my dry lips while I cleaned up the mess. I raked my brain trying to figure out what I did wrong to make Barry act stand offish around me. While I was close with Caitlin and Cisco, Barry and I never stayed alone in a room together for more than ten minuets.

Turning off the lights behind me, I made my way down the hall and out of Star Labs, my phone buzzing in my pocket.

From: Cisco

Yo Hens, Barry's having a get together at his place, you should come.

Groaning, I continued the short walk to my apartment which was just around the block of Star Labs, as I contemplated whether or not going to Barry's house was a good idea. Did I really want to spend the night with not only Barry ignoring me but also watching him hopelessly flirt with Iris in front of me. It was sad, really; While I was head over feels for Barry, he was showing those feelings to Iris, who was dating Eddie and had no idea.

I walked into my lonely, quiet, apartment, my phone buzzed again.

From: Cait

Who cares if Barry is in love with Iris, you still should come tonight. Doesn't mean you can't get his attention.

Biting my lip, I decided with a sigh that I would go to Barry's only for a little while. After I replied to Cisco, I dragged my feet over to my bedroom closet, changing into a different outfit. Since I knew Iris would be there, I figured I could wear something that would get Barry's attention.
