Merlin's P.O.V.

I perked up suddenly, my spell alerting me that Barry was up. I smiled, grabbing my jacket and walking out of the station. Turning into an abandoned alley, I muttered a transportation spell. I suddenly found myself in an alley close to S.T.A.R. Labs and grinned, running to the elevator. As soon as I reached the floor, I ran to the cortex.

"Lightning... gave me abs?" I heard Barry say and tried not to laugh. Coming out from behind the wall, I coughed.

"Yes, and quite possibly more," I said, smiling. "It's nice to see you among the living Barry."

"What do you mean by more Michael?"

I shrugged. "You never know when the impossible could become possible. And please, call me Mike."

Caitlin looked at me strangely. "You're wise for your age."

"I've had my times," I replied, shrugging. I looked over at Barry and Cisco. There was a type of strange energy surrounding Barry that I of course couldn't tell them that I knew was there.

"Come here, have a seat," Cisco said, and Barry did just that. "You were in a coma."

"For how long?"

"Nine months," a voice said. We turned to see Dr. Wells sitting in a wheelchair in the doorway. My eyes narrowed. The man reminded me so much of Morgana that I almost saw her smirk on his face.

"Welcome back, Mr. Allen. We have a lot to discuss," he continued. I glared at Dr. Wells' retreating back, eyes glowing only slightly as they left. Cisco and I soon struck up a conversation and I began smiling at the jokes he made. He reminded me so much of Gwaine that I could see his smile.

"You remind me of someone that I used to know," I told him.

"Really? What happened to him?"

I cleared my throat. "He… he died."

He looked down. "I'm sorry."

I smiled sadly, "it's fine."

"Hey, maybe you could, I don't know, come over and we could do a movie marathon or something. I heard about this show that's called Merlin. Maybe we could watch that?"

I froze for just a split second before smiling. "That would be fun."

"... where we were able to stabilise you," we heard the voice of Dr. Wells float back into the cortex. My smile disappeared slightly and I looked to the entrance.

"Iris?" he looked to me and I nodded.

"Iris, yes. She came to see you quite often."

"She talks a lot," Caitlyn said.

"Also, she's hot," Cisco added. I held in a snicker.

Yup, definitely Gwaine. I thought, shaking my head slightly. Barry suddenly looked to the door.

"I need to go," he said. I could feel the energy spike slightly and go back down.

"No, you can't," Caitlyn said. I rose from my seat.

"I'll see you later Barry. I'm going to inform Joe about you being up," I walked to the door and out of S.T.A.R. labs turning again to the abandoned alley, muttering the same teleportation spell and vanishing. I entered the station and approached Joe.

"Well, there's some good news. I've just been to see Barry and you won't believe what I saw," I said, grinning. Joe's eyebrows raised.

"He's awake?" Joe asked and I nodded.

"I think he's going to see Iris first before he comes here. Speaking of, I'm probably going there as well. See ya!" I waved and walked to CC Jitters, waiting. Ten minutes later, Barry walked into the shopand Iris gasped before running over to hug him.

"You're awake! Why didn't S.T.A.R. Labs call us?"

"I just woke up," Barry replied, smiling.

"Should you even be on your feet?" Iris asked, concerned.

"Iris, I'm okay!" he countered, still smiling. She didn't look convinced.

"I watched you die, Barry. You kept dying, your heart kept stopping."

Barry put her hand on his chest. "It's still beating."

"It feels really fast," Iris said, still looking concerned. I shifted my appearance slightly, sensing the energy of his surge slightly. My hair turned black and my eyes became blue. Suddenly, a server, Tracy, tripped and I slowed time for my eyes, turning to look at Barry. I got up and walked to him, shooting him a quick grin before sitting back down. A flash of light too fast for most to see enveloped me and I shifted back. Time resumed as normal and Barry looked around, presumably for me, before looking at Iris again.

"Are you okay, Tracy?" Iris asked, looking towards her. She looked up from mopping up the spill.

"Yeah," she replied, going back to mopping it up. Barry looked like he was in shock and I got up.

"Joe will be happy to see you. I've already informed him so let's go," I pulled on my light jacket, walking towards the door.

"Let me get my stuff, okay? I'll be right back," she said, walking to collect her stuff. I smiled at Barry.

"So, how long have you been in love with her?" I asked and he looked at me, shocked. "Come on, It doesn't take a genius to know."

He sighed, "since I was 11."

I whistled. "that is one heck of a long time. I'm guessing she doesn't know. Or she might not have… oh here she is."

I looked over there and there she was indeed.

"Let's get going," Iris said, pulling on her coat.
