Chapter 1
Caitlin Snow woke up on a bright sunny morning, with a beautiful day outside, she decided to head to CC Jitters for her morning coffee before heading to STAR Labs.
She wore a bright smile as she mounted the elevator that leads to the cortex. As the elevator opened, her bright smile turned into a confused and awkward one as shouting greeted her as she entered the cortex.
Caitlin stood at the entrance on the cortex, frozen and not knowing what to do. She definitely doesn't want to get involved in whatever Iris and Barry are shouting at each other.
Gladly before the bickering couple noticed her, she saw Cisco eavesdropping on the two and slowly made her way to him inside his lab.
"Cisco" she whispered once she got to him "Hey Caitlin" he greeted still focused on Barry and Iris.
What are they fighting about now?" Caitlin asked curiously taking off her coat.
"As far as I heard, Barry got mad at Iris because Iris accidentally deleted quite a few important files on the main control panel, something that we could easily fix by the way and Barry just flipped" Cisco explained.
"I've noticed that their bickering gets more frequent and ridiculous" she told him, "The thing is, their arguments seems to get worst every single time" Cisco said noticing Barry about to explode.
"Why are you even here?" shouted a frustrated Barry "I'm here because I'm the leader of this team, the team needs me, you need me, we are a team, we are the Flash remember?" answered an equally frustrated Iris like it was the most obvious thing in the world.
"You are not the leader of this team, after what you did it is obvious that we do not need you her, I don't need you here, and we are not the Flash, I am! Cisco, Caitlin and I are a team, the team that I need" Barry puts emphasis to make sure it stays in her mind while Caitlin and Cisco's eyes are wide open in shock about what happened.
"You know what, maybe you shouldn't be here right now" he said trying to recompose himself "This is not good" Cisco whispered to Caitlin who agreed.
"Fine then, don't even bother going home tonight!" Iris exclaimed and stormed off with her bag and coat.
Once she left Barry breathe deeply and ran his fingers through his hair trying to calm himself down. Caitlin and Cisco on the other hand are both giving each other signals that they should go and comfort their friend.
"Hey pal" Cisco greeted "You don't have to fake it Cisco, I know you've been eavesdropping for the past few weeks" Barry told him "It is a small lab after all" Caitlin added guiltily.
"Sorry you have to hear all of that" he apologized "Couples fight, it's natural" Cisco told him "I know but it doesn't feel like an 'old married couple' kind of fight" he told him "I guess this is the stage where they say that 'the honeymoon stage is over'" Caitlin tried to brighten them up "Yeah I guess" he chuckled.
"You know whatever happens, the three of us would always be at each other's side " Caitlin smiled" Can we go to a bard tonight, just the three of us?" he asked them hopefully "I really need a drink and a place to crash tonight" he added with a sad sigh.
"Cisco?" he asked "Sure thing" he replied then he suddenly looked at his watch and saw the date for today "You're not gonna like this dude" he told him with an apologetic look "Why, what's the problem?" Barry asked curiously with a bit of worry.
"It's 1-1-1 day today and I promised Gypsy that I'll spend it this year in Earth-19" he explained "I'll make it up to you I dude, I promise" he swore and exited the cortex to get ready for his overnight stay in Earth-19.
"How 'bout you Cait?" he asked hopefully "Your lucky that I don't have a life outside STAR Labs" she smiled "So that's a yes?" he asked "Of course Barry whenever you need me I'm there" she told him squishing his arm.
"And if you need a place to crash tonight, my sofa is really a comfortable place to sleep in so don't be a stranger" she added.
"Thank you Caitlin" he hugged her tight feeling glad that he has a friend that he could always count on. They broke their hug when they heard the meta-human alert set off.
"The city needs you, go be a hero" Caitlin smiled and patted his arm before he flashed to his suit and out of STAR Labs.
By lunch time Barry and Joe met and had lunch inside his lab.
"I heard what happened earlier" Joe finally brought the topic after a few minutes of silence "I don't get it, you told me you loved her since you were little and now you cannot stand each other" he started leaning on the back of his chair "I actually never thought that you would even get to this point in a fight" he told him.
"This has been going on for a few weeks now Joe, I don't even know how it happened, it just did" he told his adoptive father.
"Maybe I just saw the side of her that I haven't seen before" he added "Maybe we jumped too fast into the whole marriage thing.
"Honestly Bar, I don't know what to say, but I know you, and I know things will be fine in the end" he told him. "That's the only thing I could tell you since when I experienced that kind of fight, Francine left."
"I know you'll choose Iris' side but if worst comes to worst and we got divorced, you wouldn't shoot me with your gun right?" he asked a part of him frightened.
"Bar, you heal fast and I'm sure Caitlin wouldn't let me shoot you, but if you and Iris decided to get divorced, I guess it would be a mutual decision because I know both of my children." Joe told him sincerely.
"You are a great father Joe" Barry told him giving hum a hug.
"I have to be, I still have a one year old kid to grow" he laughed and patted his back before he left his lab.
After his lunch with Joe, he buried himself in his work, gladly there were no meta-human attack for the rest of the day and there are no crime that the police can't handle and before he knows it, he was already late. He remembered his plans and decided to call Caitlin.
"Hey Cait, are we still on for tonight?" Barry asked getting straight to the point.
"Of course Barry, I'll just lock up the lab" she replied fixing her lab.
"Sorry it's a bit late, I didn't realize what time it was" he apologized.
"It's okay, me either, so I'll see you there" she replied before they said their goodbyes and hang up. Caitlin locked up STAR Labs and went to her apartment to change because she doesn't want to look like a high school principal in a bar.
