-So you mean you finally controlled your powers? -Julian says approaching her
-Yeah, it doesn't have much time, but it finally happened- She says looking at him and smiling
-I thought you would at least call me to tell me you were back
-I came back to help get Barry out of the speedforce, it was not my intention to stay.
-But you did
-Yeah I did, look Julian, I'm sorry I should have told you I was back, especially after everything you had done to help me
-I know, no problem- he says approaching- What matters is that we are here now- He says putting his hand on hers
-Sorry Julian- she says taking her hand away from him -We both know what we felt for each other was just a way to escape what was happening in our lives, you getting rid of Dr. Alchemy and me dealing with Killer Frost
-I know what I felt Caitlin, what I still do
-I'm with Barry now- She blurts out making clear what she meant, he turns away to stare at her incredulously.
-Oh really? After all he did to you? Did you just forgive and forget everything?
-No, I remember everything, Barry might not have acted the best he could, but neither did I, I joined Savitar, I threatened everyone's life, his own, and he was able to forgive me, Why wouldn't I forgive him, we both made mistakes, and we always will, we are human after all, what really matters is how we act after these mistakes and what we learn before them
-Wow -Julian says and leaves
-Julian-She calls him and starts going after him.
-Let him go- Barry says lightly, startling the doctor -He came back just for you, he has to process that he won't have you
-It wasn't my intention to hurt him
-I know it wasn't, but sometimes you can't control these things, look at Iris for example, one of the last things in this world that I wanted was hurt her
-I know- She says in a half-depressed voice, he goes to her and hugs her
-Let's go to Jitters, Cisco decided to make some adjustments to the suits
-Okay- She says with a small smile on her face, they go to the Jitters with him taking her in superspeed, they made their orderand went to sit and they're talking for some time
-Let's go for a walk- Barry says getting up, the two go out and start walking.
-You lied to me- They listen to Julian's voice, then they look towards where the voice came and see him talking to Iris the two gets confused by that and mutually decide to pay attention to what was happening
-I didn't lie to you
-Then how would you explain what you did? -She tries to argue, but she doesn't know what to say, after all she had lied to him- Because I remember you calling me saying that Caitlin was back and she would love to see me and maybe we could go back to being like we were before- Barry that was listening was pissed, he wanted to go there and gets some answers, but Caitlin took his arm preventing it, she wanted to know the rest and something told her that she wouldn't find otherwise
-I didn't know they were together when I called you, I was trying to help, that's all
-Are you sure, Iris? -He asked with a cynical smile on his face, as if he knew she was lying- You already knew they were together, you called me and told me she was back two days ago, you would have called me months ago if you had been. just wanting to help. What did you think was going to happen when I got here? -He asks irritated with the situation- that I was going to find out that they are together and was going to join you to separate the two? Forget it won't happen
-And why not? You love her, don't you?
-Maybe, maybe not, I don't know anymore, but what I know is that I want her happy and if Barry is the best for her I'm happy for both the of them and you should do the same- He says and starts to withdraw
-Is that true, Iris? -Barry asks to draw the attention of the two
-How long have you been there? Iris asked, afraid of the answer.
-Enough -Barry says approaching the two.
-Barry I ...- She looks at Caitlin and doesn't know what to say, Caitlin seeing that thought it would be better for the two of them to talk alone first, they were the best friends after all.
-Why don't you talk to each other a little while I talk to Julian- Caitlin says going to Julian and starting to walk beside him, she looks at Barry as if silently giving him strength
-So? -Barry says turning to Iris
-I called him
-Why Iris?
-Because I love you and we're meant to be together, I needed you to see this
-Iris, we won't be together and I'm not saying this just because I'm with Caitlin now. Our relationship wasn't good for me and it wasn't for you neither. I don't want that for me again
-But we can change, be different, learn from our mistakes
-Iris I love Caitlin and it's with her that I am and it's with her that I want to be for the rest of my life
-You told me the same thing not long ago
-And I really believed it back then, but it was all an illusion, I was so focused on what I felt for you since I was young I didn't realize that I had moved on
-And what makes you believe that what you have with Caitlin is not just an illusion too?
-Because it's real, I'm not pressured by anything but her and the love I feel for her- he says with a small smile on his face, but when he sees the depressed expression she was making he broke the smile- I'm sorry Iris, I know it's not what you wanted to hear and I'm sooo sorry, the last thing I want is to hurt you in this situation, but we're not meant to be together, at least not in this earth
-Okay Barry, if that's what you believe I'm going to respect, I'm sorry I called Julian, I was hurt and I acted without thinking I should not have called him
-Well now it's done, and he does not seem to want to do any harm at least-He says, smiling.
-Okay, then I'm already going- She hugs him and goes her way and Barry looks out for Caitlin
-I'm sorry if I caused any trouble, it really wasn't my intention- Julian tells Caitlin as they walk away.
-Don't worry, you didn't cause any trouble- Julian though he didn't really want to cause problems, but he couldn't say he wasn't a bit disappointed that his arrival hadn't shaken up at all, it meant that their relationship was stronger than he thought
-Even so, I didn't know you were with someone else when I arrived
-You had no way of knowing- She looks in the direction of her boyfriend, seeing that the conversation seemed to be serious, just as she hoped- Will you stay in town? -She asks, looking back at Julian.
-I'll kill the homesickness and then go back to England, I just came back because of you, but as we both know this won't happen so I'll go back England, I was offered a job, I had not accepted, because I still had hopes that you would come back to me, but since it won't happen I will accept the proposal
-I'm sorry I kept you waiting and could not ...
-You didn't make me wait, quite the contrary, when you left, you gave no hope that you would come back, I chose to hope, I don't blame you don't worry- She turns to look at Barry and sees him hugging Iris- He loves you, Julian says following the Doctor's gaze.
-I know -she says with a silly grin on her face
-I'll see you later- He says goodbye, seeing that the conversation between Iris and Barry was over, she hugs him quickly and walks back to Barry, she sees him looking around and she knew he was looking for her when he sees her, he smiles and approaches her and hugs her
-I love you- He says
-I love you, too- She says smiling, she was happy -So how was your talk? -She asks
-She's hurt by the situation, but I think she understands now
-What about her calling Julian?
-She apologized, said she was hurt and did it without thinking
-I understand, let's just hope she doesn't do it anything else likw this
-I think she won't, I think she understood this time that it's you that I love and nobody else- He smiles and she kisses him
-Let's go back to Star Labs, we have a lot of things to
-Come on- He grabs her in his arms and runs with her and in a matter of seconds they're back in Cortex, they then come back to look for ways to defeat Devoe.
A WEEK LATER
It was a very sad day, Devoe had gotten one more victory, and his victim this time had been Ralph, everyone was very affected by it, but the most affected was Barry and Caitlin knew he wasn't well, she found him sitting in the training room
-I know you want to be alone now and that nothing I say will help, but when you want to talk, I'm here, don't forget this- She goes to him and gives him a kiss on the top of his head and leaves leaving him alone
- How's he doing? -Cisco asks her when she returns to Cortex.
-He's suffering
-And why are not you there with him? -Iris
-He wants to be alone
-And you're going to listen?
-It's the best thing to do right now, let's focus on Devoe, we need to find a way to stop him from moving on-
-We know he's built something, we need to find out what- Cisco
-We have the parts he's already got, we're going to try to figure out what he's going to do next- Joe says, and everyone scatters to search for information.
They discovered that they would need Gypsy's help to figure out where they could find Devoe, Cisco at first was not very happy with the idea, since he had not yet decided on his father-in-law's offer.
The next few days were difficult a lot happened one thing after another, Cisco and Gypsy ended their distance relationship was no longer working and he refusing the proposal to go to work with her was lhe last straw to their relationship to fall apart. Gypsy while helping was almost killed by Devoe, she just didn't die because Marlize convinced her husband not to kill her, then they found out what Devoe's plan was, they had to also transfer Fallout to an ARGUS location and for that they needed of Snart's help and they went to get him on Earth-x and he was happy to help, but after long day of work he had to go back to his earth, after all, he still had his wedding to plan.
-Hey, -Caitlin says approaching and sitting next to him.
-Hey - He puts his head on her shoulder and she hugs him
-What did you talk to Leo about? -Caitlin asks uncertainly what to say
-About Ralph mainly
-And what did he say?
-That I need to feel his death, otherwise it could end up turning against me in the worst hours
-And?
-And he was right, I fucked at the police station and I was barely able to save you- He raises his head from her shoulder and looks her in the eyes -Sorry.
-I know how to protect myself Barry, I don't need you to save me, at least not anymore- She says smiling and stroking his face- But he was right, after everything you've suffered after so many losses I understand that it may seem easier to ignore the pain, but it isn't because we ignore her that she isn't there, and the pain is a treacherous thing, she always finds a way to make a appearace
-I'm starting to realize this, but it's too much sometimes, it seems that every year I've lost someone since I started to be flash, what I do most is lose someone and be unable to do anything
-Barry you've saved thousands of people since you've turned the flash, save dozens of people a day, focus on the good things
-I just think what's the meaning of saving all these people if I can't save the people I love
-Because all those people are innocent
-So are all of you
-But we are here because we want to, we all know of the risks and even then we decide to come back every day and that choice is made by us and by us only, it's not your fault
-I still have to learn this part- He says with a slight laugh.
-You will one day
-I love you- He says and she laughs even more, she gives him a quick kiss
-I love you too- She says with a huge smile on her face and then they kiss again
Well this came a little quicker then usual lol, hope you enjoy
