Chapter 1

Barry and Allie walked around the empty apartment. The Estate Agent explained about all the fancy assets to this particular place.

"Wheel chair access and a state of the art elevator. Close to the hospital, the police station and, to my opinion, the best coffee shop."

"Please remind me why you're doing this?" Barry asked Allie as they inspected the kitchen.

"It's a great place." Allie defended.

"Yeah, but you already have a home." Barry countered.

"It's a great investment."

"It really is." The estate agent chimed in but shut up when she realized no one was listening to her.

"You have a great place." Barry whined.

"Yeah. This one is closer to work, to your work, to the coffee shop and closer to the ground. Besides, this one is less pretentious." Allie said as she moved on to the next room.

"Hey. If you think I have a problem with you being the richest person on the planet, I don't." Barry took her hand to convey his sincerity. "And you know it."

"It's nice to hear." She grinned. "Then you wont have a problem moving in with me, right?"

Barry faltered and she laughed knowing she was right.

"You will never earn as much as I do." She said. "And you said that it's not a problem."

"I will just have to get used to the idea. Okay?" Barry kissed her, hoping to put an end to the discussion.

"I can always make you used to it." She joked. "Or rich."

"You can't use your super powers for evil." He joked.

"Damned." She laughed.

"So you're really going to buy this place?" Barry asked as he checked the third bedroom. "It's not much smaller than your other place. I'm just saying. What will you do with your other place?"

"Rent it out." She said simply. "I'm thinking about giving it to you for your birthday. And then let you do with it what you want…" she eyed him and he threw her a dirty look. "But I know you will never accept it."

"I would feel weird."

"But this is the kind of stuff that I can give you without it making an impression in my bank."

"Start small. A car maybe?" Barry flashed her a smile.

"Whatever would you do with that?" she toyed.

Barry opened the curtains in the largest bedroom and found a door.

"Hey, look here." He called as he walked out onto a balcony.

Allie followed behind and looked at the view.

"You can see Star Labs from here." Barry noted.

Allie smiled. "Oh. How about that." She looked over the railing and watched the entrance to the lab.
