Len frowned and flipped his cell phone looked through the window. It was snowing heavily. He always loved this month of the year. His eyes then flickered towards the dinning table. Len glared at the table for a good thirty seconds. The food was getting cold and the candle glowing was now starting to melt down.

The main part was yet to come. His Scarlet speedster was late. Again!

Len sighed in frustration. He knew Barry was always late. But today he broke all his previous records. Barry was two hours and fifteen minutes late.

Trying his luck again, Len dialed Barry's number one more time. And like previous fourteen times ,it went to voicemail. This time Len decided to say something "Barry! Where are you?Do you remember its our date night?The food is getting cold and so am I. If you have changed your mind, please do tell' with that Len shut his phone off.

Len was beyond angry. What was up with the kid? He started pacing around the hall. Lots of scenario playing in his head. Was barry even coming? Did he forget about their date? Was he running aroung playing flash? Was he hurt?

The last option spiked a fear in Len's heart. He did not want to think negative but his boyfriend was a self sacrificing idiot.

Len thought for a moment and then decided to call next best option.

Cisco was munching on his popcorn while working on his computer. Today he was relaxed as no new meta showed up. Barry had told him he had a date with Len and Caitlin was working on some tests. He was about to refill his bowl when his phone rang. He frowned knowing that it was late and wondered who would be calling him. He quickly answered "Hello?"

"Where is Barry? Is he alright? If he is done playing flash send him home immediately" Len barked through his phone.

Cisco held his phone far from his ear to avoid barking from Len. He made a face and answered "Whoa..Whoa slow down snart!What do you mean send barry? He was suppose to be with you hours ago..remember you two have a date night"

"Dammit!" Len cursed. This meant Cisvo had no idea where Barry was. He took a deep breath and continued "No Cisco! Barry is not with me. He isn't answering my calls. I thought he might be working"

"We dont even have a meta problem today. I would like to call "meta free day" Cisco said grinning.

"Ramon!" Len warned

"Sorry...Have you called Joe? maybe he is still working at the station" Cisco suggested.

"Then why wouldnt he pick up my calls?" Len answered irritated

Just then Caitlin entered the main cortex. She saw Cisco tensed and made her way towards him "Whats going on?"

Cisco looked at her "It's Snart. He is looking for Barry. He says Barry never showed up for their date"

Caitlin hurried her steps towards Cisco "What? Where is he? Did you try his cell?

Cisco shook his head "He is not answering them!" after a moment both of their eyes fell on the flash suit hanging proudly on its model. They looked at each other fearing for their hero. Len broke the silence between them "Look I am gonna head out and look for Barry. Call me if you hear anything from him"

"Yeah..yeah sure Snart" Cisco ended his call. He too tried calling Barry but got same result as Len. It went straight to Barry's voicemail "Hey! This is Barry. Leave a message and I will call you back soon"

Caitlin suggested that they should call Joe. Cisco agreed and dialed Joe"s number. Joe picked up on third ring "Cisco? Why are you calling this hour? Is everything alright?"

"Sorry to disturb you Joe but we cant reach Barry neither can Snart, Is he with you?" Cisco asked hopefully.

"Barry? No! He left three hours ago saying he had a date with Snart" explained Joe

"Oh! Cisco sighed disappointed "He isn't answering any calls so...

Joe interupted him "What? I dont like the sound of this Cisco. It's a bad wheather out there. Wait..I am coming over!"

"Yes sure" Cisco ended the call. He turned to Caitlin "He is coming over. I will keep trying Barry's cell"

Caitlin nodded. God knew why but her guts were telling her something was wrong. Her fear for Barry was clear on her face. They were a team. They protected each other. She remembered when first time Barry told about his relationship with Len. It wasn't easy for them to accept but in the end they stood beside Barry and respected his decision. It wasn't a one time fling. Barry wanted this to work so did Len. He deserved happiness and they knew it was with Len.

Now Caitlin looked over the window. The climate was getting cold and it was bad. Her eyes moistened. Barry didnt do well in cold. It was the only drawback he got after getting his powers. She stepped closer to the winow and placed her hand on the glass. Despite the thick double pane it was cold. Freezing cold. Caitlin coudn't bring herself to say out loud but inside she knew her friend was in trouble.

Len rushed out in his parka to his garage. He thought about taking his bike but seeing the weather he decided to take car. Len was starting to feel shivers were running down his body. He couldn't tell whether it was due to climate or his fear for Barry. He turned on his heater on full mode. Len picked up his phone again praying to god that this time Barry would answer.

The call went to voicemail. Again!

Len threw his phone angrily beside his seat and banged his hands on the wheels. He knew something was wrong. very wrong.

"Hang on baby. I am coming!"
