This chapter is set a few months after the last one. My apologies if there are some inconsistencies in this chapter, i accidentally deleted the file and had to write it all over again trying to remember the original.
As their alarm went off Barry and Caitlin opened their eyes groggily, still tired from the night before.
As Barry caught a glimpse of the beautiful woman curdled up in his arm he wouldn't help but smile. He loved her more than anything in the multiverse and never wanted to let her go.
Caitlin noticed he was staring. "Why are you so happy? It's 7 am."
"You just make me want to smile, Cait, every time I see you." He said staring into her beautiful eyes.
She simply smiled and pulled him closer.
"We have to get up." He said
"No we don't, I just want to stay here and cuddle, all day long." Her voice full with determination. She knew he wouldn't allow it but at least she could try.
"Alright, tell you what, we can cuddle for 10 more minutes but then we really have to get going."
"Fine." She smiled.
20 minutes later Caitlin entered the kitchen to find a dancing Barry Allen as he was finishing the pancakes.
"Wow, they smell amazing. And they look cute too." She said as she noticed he had shaped them to look like snowflakes and lightning bolts.
"Just like you." He replied as he pecked her lips.
"God, i love you Barry."
"I love you too. I should've done this a long time ago."
She looked at Barry slightly worried. Thinking back to the shapeshifter a few years ago.
"Relax, Cait. It's me."
She hummed snapping out of her thoughts. "What?"
"Don't worry, i remember what you told me about everyman. It's still Barry, your Barry" He smiled fondly.
"I'm sorry, i thought this was all a dream or something. And i don't know what i would do without you." She sighed.
"Well, you wouldn't have these amazing pancakes for starters." He laughed and kissed her once more. "I love you."
"I love you too."
After cleaning up and running to STAR labs the pair was greeted by Cisco.
"Wow, could you two be any happier?" He grinned at the couple who let you a light chuckle.
"Any luck on finding cicada?" Barry asked staring at the screens.
"Not yet but I have however come up with a new way for us to train." They both looked at him with confusion to which he signaled them to follow him.
They entered the speed lab but as they looked around they didn't seem to find anything new. Though as the clever engineer pressed a few buttons on his tablet, various holograms appeared and immediately the looks on their faces changed from confused to amazed.
"And they're not just holograms." He poked one of them to show that they were solid.
"How did you do that?" Caitlin asked astonished.
"I had a little help from earth 2, Jessy has been using these for a while, I've just made them a little... better." The tone in his voice led both his friend to raise their eyebrows curiously.
"Well, lets give them a try then." Barry said, ready for some action.
They were only 5 minutes in as the meta alarm sounded and within seconds they stood in the cortex.
"It's him." Cisco said with a worried look on his face, obviously talking about cicada.
They breached over only to find that the meta was already dead, cicada still hungry for blood.
Barry and Cisco charged at him without the use of their powers while Frost was hitting him with ice blasts from further back. Cicada noticed and threw his dagger which flew right into Frost's shoulder sending her flying to the ground and the white hair soon faded.
"NO!" Barry let out a loud scream before punching cicada over and over as hard as he could.
Weakened, cicada flew off leaving Barry to rush to Caitlin's side.
"We need to get her to STAR labs." Barry said immediately.
A breach was opened and they were at the lab. He brought Caitlin over to the med-bay. He picked up a thing or two in the past few years from her and started to treat her. If he didn't know something he could always look it up at super speed.
2 days later
Cisco entered the 'music room' (as he called it), Barry had moved Caitlin over there to have some peace. She had been out for 2 days and Barry refused to leave her side for longer than a few seconds to grab something to eat or go to the bathroom.
"Hey man." Cisco put his hand on Barry's shoulder. "How is she?"
"Still nothing, the wound is healing nicely but the dark matter from cicada's dagger is slowing her healing significantly."
"Look, don't you want to go home for a while? Or at least sleep, you've been here for 2 days."
"I can't Cisco, I can't leave her." You could see the hurt in his eyes. He was completely devastated.
"Alright." He gave Barry a reassuring look. "She will be fine, she's strong, don't worry." Barry just nodded.
Cisco had gone home and Barry moved over to the piano. He started playing 'Heart and soul' again, Caitlin liked to refer to it as their song. He played it a few times, every time reminding him of their first kiss a few months ago and all the times they would come down here and play together, each time ending with the same song they loved.
He went back to sit by her side but ended up falling asleep.
He woke up late the next morning though still nothing changed. "I am sorry Cait. Please..." Tears started rolling down his face. He grabbed her hand and suddenly a jolt of electricity sparked from his fingers, ice blue lightning started to appear all over her.
Not knowing what to do he flashed out and a second later had Cisco with him.
Cisco looked at her and his face full of confusion. "What the frack?"
"I don't know, I just took her hand, then felt a jolt and now... well... this..." He said panicking.
The electricity started to to stop and almost instantly Caitlin woke up.
Barry shot to her side and held her as tight as he could.
As he pulled away Caitlin sat up with a smile. "Hey."
"Welcome back Elsa." Cisco said grinning like a child on Christmas morning. To which Barry gave him an annoyed look.
"I'm so glad you're okay. I am so so sorry."
"It's not your fault Barry. I am fine, great actually. It feels like nothing ever happened." She looked down where she was injured expecting to see a scar but that too was completely gone.
"Wait how is that even possible, your body was still being affected by the dark matter a few hours ago." Barry said as he looked over to the monitors. "The wound should still be there."
Silence engulfed the room. "The lightning." Cisco exclaimed. The pair gave him a confused look. "The lightning that was surrounding Caitlin after you 'shocked her', it somehow healed her."
"Wait, you can heal now too?" Caitlin asked surprised.
"I guess so, I mean the speedforce still holds some secrets. There are probably still loads of things i don't know about." He smiled and kissed her passionately.
"I'll give you guys some room." Cisco said nervously realizing nobody was listening anyways as he exited the room.
"Thank you for saving me." She pulled him onto the bed with her.
"You saved me plenty of times, it was time I repaid the favor." He pressed his lips against her's once more, he felt happier then he had been in the last 3 days, to finally be able to hold her again, to be able to tell her he loved her. Nothing could make him happier then to be with Caitlin Snow.
Shortly after they were both asleep, Cisco found them but just smiled and turned the lights off before heading home himself and giving the couple some well deserved rest.
Again my apologies if i missed something or it seemed confusing at times, i should really stop writing these at 3 am... :)
Anyways i hope you liked it, i got some special plans for the next chapter. ;D
