Hey! I really hope you enjoy this fanfiction! Not much of Daredevil in this chapter but don't worry, his chapters are on the horizon! Please review, they are gold dust! But please nothing too hurtful!
"Do I get bonus points if I pretend that I care?" Nat asked sarcastically.
"I was just saying that I was going out tonight." Caitlin said innocently.
"Don't take it personally. I don't like anyone." Nat said and laughed.
As this was going on, Barry walked in.
"Please just tell me!" He shouted as he ran up to Nat and grabbed her waist.
"Holy Hades Barry! You need to introduce yourself before you grab a blind woman!" Nat shouted, she had been blind since she was young, Barry looked down in embarrassment but then chuckled and apologised.
When Barry had grabbed her waist, they had both turned red and looked down smiling. Barry let go and backed away slightly.
"I'm not going to tell you my proper name. You know me as Nat and that should be enough!" Nat said smiling knowing that Barry was desperate.
"I will do anything." Barry sighed, finally giving in. Caitlin started to chuckle here but tried to suppress it as much as possible because she knew Dan's full name but seeing Barry so desperate was just so funny. Barry shot Caitlin a mixture of a murderous and begging look. This made Caitlin laugh even more.
"Don't do it! Don't tell him!" Nat shouted. Her and Caitlin were best mates and they had been for several years. She could tell from her nervous laugh she wanted to tell Barry.
"Odharnait!" Caitlin blurted out and Nat grabbed the white cane she uses to detect obstacles and hit Caitlin, she knew where she was because she could hear where her voice was coming from.
"Odd what! I see why you wanted to keep it secret!" Barry said laughing.
"I may aswell tell you it all now! Odharnait Sabia Aislin Aileas Bronte O'Boyle." Nat said trying to get the pronunciation across because everybody said her name wrong, "My mother really went full out with the Irish names."
"Wow. And now you have brought up the word Irish You're going to have to say it! Come on! Thirty three and a third." Cisco said. He did this every time anybody mentioned the word Scottish or any form of it!
"Tirty tree and a turd." Nat said giving in. She had a very strong Irish accent due to the fact that she was Irish and lived in Ireland most of her life and the others, especially Cisco, loved to wind her up about it.
It had reached lunch time and as usual, they went out for lunch. Caitlin and Nat always had lunch together as did Cisco and Barry.
(Barry and Cisco's conversation) (Caitlin and Nat's conversation)
"I just love her cute accent." Barry confessed and Cisco stood up and shouted, "I knew it!"
"I just love his warm, caring voice!" Nat confessed to Caitlin and a small smile creeped across her face.
"And the way her long, silky hair matches her dark brown eyes." Barry said and Cisco sat down again and listened.
"And the way he isn't bothered that I am blind." Nat said Caitlin bit her lip to try and stop smiling.
"The way she covers her mouth when she laughs, looks down when she receives a compliment, the look of determination she had when she is in the middle of an experiment and the look of joy when she discovers something from it." Barry confessed smiling just remembering those small things he loved so much.
"The little whimper he makes whenever he trips up, the cute high pitch giggle he lets out when he is trying to keep his laughter in, the warmth from his body whenever it touches mine and the amount of effort he puts into bettering himself." Nat said getting overwhelmed by how much she wanted to be with Barry.
"The excitement in her voice when she is talking about the things she loves, the way she forgives everyone no matter what they have done." Barry said smiling and Cisco's eyes widened realising how serious he was.
"The way he lights up a room with the sheer amount of happiness he radiates, the way he is determined to make the world a better place and help everyone he can." Nat said. and Caitlin couldn't help but let out an "Aww".
"Beyond her hard, cold exterior, there is a beautiful and kind person and I love her." Barry finally confessed and Cisco ruffled her hair and awed.
"Beyond his laid-back, playful exterior, there is a soft, warm person and I love him." Nat finally confessed and Caitlin cupped Nat's hand's in hers.
"But what if she hates how much eyes go weird when I smile." Barry confessed.
"But what if he finds my accent annoying!" Nat said beginning to fret.
"What if she thinks I am stupid and that I don't appreciate any of the things she is doing for me." Barry said starting to worry about all of the little things.
"What if he thinks my eyes are boring and that when I braid my hair back, I look like a man." Nat said running her hands through her long brown hair.
"What if her and Cisco are laughing about me right now! At how stupidly warm I always am!" Barry said sadly and Cisco told him to not be so ridiculous.
"What if he is laughing about me right now with Caitlin... at the stupid way I walk or my weird name." Nat blurted out and Caitlin rubbed her back comforting her.
"What if she thinks I don't care about anything." Barry confessed.
"What if he thinks I am a horrible person." Nat said sadly and Caitlin told her she wasn't.
"What if this is a load of rubbish. That I am telling you everything I love about her and she is laughing at me as we speak!" Barry said sadly and Cisco put his hands on his shoulders and told her that he is perfect and nobody thinks those things.
"What if this is a load of rubbish. That I am telling you all of the things I love about him and he is laughing at me." Nat confessed and Caitlin cupped his hands in hers once again and told her not to worry.
Both Cisco and Caitlin gave Barry and Dan the same advice, to confess their feelings because they were certain that the other person liked them in the same way. And with that piece of advice, both pairs returned to Star Labs to resume work.
An awkward silence fell among the group and Cisco attempted to break it, as per usual, "Did you see that new film? The one that came out the other week?" and in response Nat chuckled, Cisco was confused at this and asked, "What's so funny?"
"Well I don't tend to watch films." She said.
"Oh.. oh yeah... I'm sorry... I forgot!" Cisco said and in response Nat chuckled again as she grabbed her white cane and walked to her lab. She knew her way around the office so she didn't need to use her white cane, instead she just carried it at her side, it hurt her wrist a bit when she used it a lot.
Nat was indulged in her work, she always was. Science was always her biggest love, people always tried to stop her doing in when she went blind but she wouldn't let them. One of the major risks with chemicals is getting it in your eyes and becoming blind, she didn't even have to worry about that. She got the hang of it after a little while and a lot of chemical spillages. She was trying to pour Hydrochloric acid into a test tube, which is always the bit she struggles with and needs to put all her focus into, when Matthew walked in.
" Nat!" He shouted and put a hand on Nat's shoulder.
"Matt! What the hell!" Nat shouted as she spilled Hydrochloric acid everywhere, "Help me clean this up!" She said.
"Why? You spilled it." Matthew said whining jokily, he never really let anybody else see this side to him.
"I can't see where it spilt to can I?!" Nat said as her and Matthew began to laugh.
"Neither can I!" Matt shouted jokily and they both erupted in laughter and began to clean the mess up.
Once all of the acid had been cleared up, Matthew and Nat sat down with each other.
"So... what did you ruin my work for?" Nat asked chuckling.
"I was just wondering if you had spoken to Foggy?" Matthew asked.
"I'm just that amazing," Nat said chuckling, "And to answer the early question, no and no I will not be helping you to make up after whatever fight you just had." Nat answered and Matthew shrugged even though it was a very wasted gesture.
About 5 minutes after Matthew left, she heard the door open again and she yelped as Caitlin grabbed her and began to pull her, she guessed she was pulling her to the office to speak to Barry, she always tried to hide just how fine tuned her senses because well, she had always been told to. She only really needed to use her stick in new places, she had amazing hearing, but wouldn't be able to taste copper in the air from somebody's blood if there were more than a couple of centimetres away, therefore needed her stick to avoid falling over in new areas. It as if, if you took the information she could get from her other sense, you would get a blurry painting, with sections missing.
Nat came to a sudden stop, she figured she was in front of Barry, she knew she was in front of somebody because she could hear somebody else's heartbeat other than Caitlin's and her own.
"Hey Nat." Barry said looking down.
"Barry! Hey!" Nat replied smiling warmly.
"So erm... want to see a movie sometime?" Barry asked.
"I would if I could yano...see anything." Nat said chuckling.
"Oh...yeah...erm...sorry..." Barry said realising the awkwardness was unbearable.
"I'll see you later." Nat said with slight distaste in full realisation that her and Barry were never going to work.
About a minute after that conversation died, Nat felt somebody grab her arm, she heard the footsteps leading up to her but was never expecting anyone to grab her so she yelped.
"It's Caitlin!" Caitlin said quickly, "How did that go?"
"It died. It's not going to work." Nat admitted.
"They never do with you do they?!" Caitlin said and they both chuckled and continued walking.
"Well that's the thing, two puzzle pieces can fit together perfectly, but that doesn't mean that they the pictures printed on them will." Nat said shrugging.
"For such a mean person. You can get pretty damn deep!" Caitlin said chuckling and Nat just shrugged and flicked her hair jokily.
