New Attractions Chapter 4, a flash fanfic

Title: New Attractions

Language: English

Disclaimer: I obviously don't own the Flash or I'd be starring in it as Barry's girlfriend/fiancée/wife, etc. I don't own The Vampire Diaries either :(... Yeah I know life sucks :(!

Summary: Barry is in love with Iris. Then a new girl shows up, with secrets. Now he's confused. (I know there are loads of stories with this plot but please give it a chance :)! )

A/N: I'm not up to date with The Flash yet :( so there may be some mistakes that's why it doesn't follow the series plot line according to the Superhero things...

Pairings: Barry/OC Barry/Iris Iris/Eddie and more. Give suggestions and/or prompts.

Rating: T for very suggestive language use and possible making out.

I'd like to just point out once again that Grant Gustin (sadly don't own :(! ) is freaking hot and his voice is addictive! I seriously can't get over his performances of Uptown Girl, Glad You Came and Smooth Criminal on Glee - All of which I don't own :( !

Author's Note: Oh My God! Oh My God! Holy Crap! I love you guys :)! Your reviews were amazing and I was grinning so much while and after I was reading/read them that it freaked my brother out again! I absolutely loved your reviews :)!
I'm just gonna keep this Author's Note because I keep freaking my brother out :D!

1. highlander348: Thanks for another amazing review :)! That does sound pretty badass doesn't it :D? So glad you love my OC! I'm going to bring Iris in soon X_X and you guys will definitely find out more about her family. Thanks again :)!

2. 61070: Somebody finally got their account ;)! Thanks for the review and your opinion and the hashtag :D!

3. Theflashaddict: What I forgot to type last time was I totally love your screen name :D! Thanks for the review.

4. Nikki G: Thank you for that review! I loved it :)! So glad you like my OC :)!

5. Nikki G: Thanks for the second review :D! And your opinion :)!

6. WinterRain36: Thanks for the review :)! She will definitely be a superhero soon :)! Not too soon though, because I want to build more of a foundation and let you guys find out more about her.

7. Daiseymaemarie-25: Thanks for the review :)! And your opinion :)! I think that's a really cool idea :). The things is I only know the general about kitsunes but I know a lot about witches, which is why I'd be more comfortable writing about them. If I knew the same amount about kitsunes, I'd probably write about them. Maybe in one of my other stories :). Thank you, I really appreciate the ideas :)!

So far : Supernatural - 5
Metahuman - 1

Carrying on voting :)!

Also guys I forgot to mention Lucas' brother's name. His name is Nathan. It's kind of relevant to this chapter.

Meant to update earlier, but it wasn't letting me post :( it's finally working after so many tries that I lost count :(... I also wanted to know if there's anyone who would be interested in reading a Sebtana story :)? That's the pairing of Sebastian Smythe and Santana Lopez played by Grant Gustin and Naya Rivera respectively.

Red Wine, The Plastic Blonde and Drunken Roommates.

Barry's POV

The creepy blonde cleared his throat. "I realize I'm probably interrupting, but you can thank me now. After all I taught her everything she knows," Creepy Blonde named Lucas remarks condescendingly. "Actually that was your brother," Ashmi shoots back at him. "Tell him I said hi," She says smugly. What's going on between his brother and Ashmi? Not that I'm jealous or anything! Okay fine I might just be a little bit jealous.

Lucas begins to get angry, I can see it in his face. So can Plastic Blonde I'm sure, because now she looks worried. I don't think I've ever seen someone more fake in my life. What the hell was he thinking cheating on Ashmi? That's like trading in an iphone for one of those Nokia brick phones!

"So I see you didn't have my drink yet?" Lucas says to her in challenging tone. I wonder what's wrong with it being red wine. Maybe it's their special drink or something? "Oh I did," She seethes at his tone. "Aren't you gonna drink it?" He teases her. "I'm not leaving until you do," He says to her seriously. "Fine," She grit before taking the drink in one gulp. "Happy now? Can you and the plastic blonde leave me alone now?" She asks him angrily.

I place a hand on her shoulder to comfort her and calm her down. "Hey you okay?" I whisper in her ear. I close my eyes for a moment and take in the smell of her hair that's so soft and beautiful.

"And who are you?" Lucas finally looks at me with crossed arms. "None of your business!" She spits out at him, "We're leaving. Goodbye Pucas!" With that she grabs my hand and we leave the club.

I wonder what's up with that? Should I ask her? "Hey let's go for I walk," I proposition. "Sure," She smiles probably wondering why I'm not asking her what's going on.

It's not that I don't want to know what's going on. Because I do. I really, really, really do. But I figure she needs space and I don't want her running scared. For some reason I think she knows something. Something I don't.

We start walking to the park and she stumbles. "Are you drunk?" I ask her and then continue, "See you shouldn't have had that scotch."

"It's not the Scotch, I can handle my scotch just fine," She glares at me. "Then what?" I ask. "It's the wine. I knew I should have drank it, but I just want him to win. Not again," she says before almost falling.

"Here, let me help," I say before bending so I can give her a piggyback ride. She giggles before hopping onto my back. Her slender and toned legs wrap around my waist and her arms are loosely around my neck. She turns her head and kisses my cheek. I blush red.

Oh crap! I don't know her address! I guess I'll just take her to my place, she can sleep on the bed and I'll take the couch.

Luckily my place isn't far. We reach there , she hops down and I unlock the door. "Where are we?" She says looking confused. She's really cute when she's confused. "My apartment. I didn't know where yours was," I say. "Okay," she shrugs before yawning.

"Come on," I say guiding her to the room. I open up the blanket and she lies on the bed. I get up to leave the room. "Where are you going?" She asks in a small voice. "To the couch, to sleep," I say with yawn. "This is your apartment, if you're not going to let me pay you then I'm going to be the one sleeping on the couch," she argues. "Okay," I say tiredly, knowing there was no point in arguing with her even in a kinda drunken state.

I slip off my shoes and get into bed beside her. "I'm cold. Hold me." She instructs. I chuckle at that. Even when she was drunk she loved being in control.

Ashmi's POV

"Hey let's go for I walk,"He propositions. "Sure," I smile wondering why he is not asking me what's going on.

I eye him shifting because he really wants to know. It feels like he knows that I know something that he doesn't...

We start walking to the park and I stumble. Great! It's hitting me now. Stupid Lucas and his stupid red wine. He just had to challenge me! "Are you drunk?" He asks me and then continues, "See you shouldn't have had that scotch." He thinks the Scotch is what got me drunk. That is actually laughable! I was serious when I said it ran in the family. My dad's side anyway. My mom's side was more into Bourbon. Or was it the other way around? Damn it! Thinking hurts right now.

"It's not the Scotch, I can handle my scotch just fine," I glare at him. "Then what?" He asks. "It's the wine. I knew I should have drank it, but I just want him to win. Not again," I say before almost falling. Every word I'm saying is true. I didn't want him to win again.

"Here, let me help," He says before bending so he can give me a piggyback ride. He's so sweet! I giggle before hopping onto his back. My legs wrap around his waist and my arms are loosely around his neck. I turn my head and kiss his cheek. Atleast I can blame this stuff on the alcohol, what excuse does he have? He blushes red.

I can see he's thinking. He's looks cute like that. Oh this is definitely the alcohol!

We reach an apartment , I hop down shakily and he unlocks the door. "Where are we?" I say confused. "My apartment. I didn't know where yours was," He says. "Okay," I shrug before yawning.

"Come on," He says guiding me to the room. He opens up the blanket and I lie on the bed. He gets up to leave the room. "Where are you going?" I ask in a small voice. "To the couch, to sleep," He says with yawn. No way is he sleeping on the couch, especially if he won't even let me pay him! "This is your apartment, if you're not going to let me pay you then I'm going to be the one sleeping on the couch," I argue. "Okay," He says tiredly, knowing there was no point in arguing with me even in a kinda drunken state and I have to smirk at that.

He slips off his shoes and gets into bed beside me. "I'm cold. Hold me." I instruct knowing I can blame it on the alcohol in the morning. He lets out a soft chuckle. Even when I'm slightly drunk I still love being in control it's one of the things I pride myself on.

Chapter 4: The Wake Up Call and The Green Eyed Monster.

Ashmi's POV

I open my eyes and the light is blinding. Did I forget to close the blinds? Wait a second... I don't have blinds! I try to move but I can't, I feel a pair of strong muscular arms holding me in place. How the hell did I get here?

I go through my memories. I remember Iris and Eddie meeting us. Barry looked hot. I drank my scotch and then... Oh shit! We kissed! And then Lucas! And Peyton! And the red wine... Kill me now. What the happened last night. More importantly, what the hell did I do last night? Oh crap. I really hope he's not a heavy sleeper.

Barry's POV

I guess I'm probably one of the stupidest or most decent guys alive. I have an extremely sexy girl lying next to me in my bed and all I'm doing is holding her. Atleast I think it can't come back to bite me in the ass. Although I'm sure it'll find a way, knowing my luck. Then again I am next to very beautiful lady so my luck can't be all that bad.

I should probably go to sleep. But I can't. I just want to stare at her all day and all night. I'm scared if I close my eyes she'll be gone when I wake up. If only I could hold her forever, but I can't, so I might as well hold her for now. Thank god it's Friday, because I am definitely not waking up for work tomorrow!

After thinking for what seemed like an eternity, my eyes drooped and I fell asleep with a smile on my face and her in my arms. Oh I'm so blaming this on the alcohol...

I'm not a light sleeper obviously you can tell that by the fact that I'm usually late to work but I'm not a heavy sleeper either, it comes with the job really. I feel something twist and turn in my arms. I think she's facing me now.

She puts a hand on my face and shout-whispers, "Barry! Are you awake? Barry!" I feel like letting her struggle a bit longer. "Come on I really need to use the bathroom... Or I can puke all over you if you don't mind..." She says. I open my eyes pretending I'm just waking up but I can tell she isn't fooled. I'd probably say something if her brown eyes weren't so distracting.

After what seemed like forever to me because of the whole being The Flash thing (freaking awesome!) but in reality it was just a few seconds, she broke the silence, "Can you release me now? 'Cause I wasn't joking about the whole bathroom thing." My eyes widened and I release her. She jumps off the bed goes into the end suite bathroom that's attached to my room. After a few minutes she exits the bathroom.

Ashmi's POV

I twist and turn in his arms so I can face him to try and wake him up.

I put a hand on his face and shout-whispers, "Barry! Are you awake? Barry!" He is so not sleeping! I wonder if the old trick would usually work? "Come on I really need to use the bathroom... Or I can puke all over you if you don't mind..." I say smirking. This is so going to work! He opens his eyes pretending he's just waking up but I'm not fooled, I know a fake wake-up when I see one. I'd probably say something if his sparkling eyes weren't so distracting. You could gaze into them and just get lost.

After a few seconds I broke the silence, "Can you release me now? 'Cause I wasn't joking about the whole bathroom thing." His eyes widened and he releases me. I jump off the bed goes into the end suite bathroom that's attached to his room. After a few minutes I exit the bathroom.

"Hey you okay?" Barry asks concerned, "Do you need anything?"

"Well I didn't puke but I still have a killer headache." I say as brightly as I can with no coffee in the morning. "What I do need is my friend's, Nate's, hangover cure. Hand me my purse will you?" I say to him.

Barry's brain begins to work, "Is Nate short for Nathan?" I nod. "As in Lucas' brother?" He asks shocked.

"Err yeah... Don't worry, me and him, we're cool. He actually doesn't like his brother much either," I say with a laugh.

The bell rings. "Oh I ordered coffee. Your favourite!" He says with a smile. "That's great!" I smile back at him.

He goes to get the coffee while I look for something to wear. There's a reason this dress isn't made for sleeping!

There! I spot a long T-shirt. I go into the bathroom, take off my dress and slip the shirt on. Atleast I always wear a pair of tights under my dress so I've got pants that fit. There was no way I'd stay in that dress!

"Ashmi!" Barry calls from the kitchen. "Coming!" I shout back. I brush through my hair with my fingers. Damn it was full of knots and I can't see a brush. Oh well! He's already seen me look like crap. The least I can do is enjoy my coffee.

I step out of the room and Barry looks at me shocked. "I can go change back into the dress, if you want. I didn't think you'd mind me borrowing it," I say quickly thinking I've offended him. "No don't," He says quickly, "It looks better on you than it ever did on me."

"Thanks," I blush and stand there awkwardly. "I guess I'm just not used to seeing a girl walking around in my clothes," He says blushing red. "Really?" I raise an eyebrow. I figured he'd have girls banging on his door. Maybe the more plastic the model, the less the brain cells and taste. Hey! We can use Peyton as exhibit A. That totally proves my theory right.

"Well if it bothers you, I can take if off. Change back I mean, not take it off right now obviously I just meant take it off if it makes you uncomfortable," I say. He shakes his head, "I already told you. It looks way better on you than it ever did on me. You can keep it. If you want, I mean."

"Thanks," I blush again before getting my coffee.

Barry's POV

"Hey you okay?" I ask concerned, "Do you need anything?"

"Well I didn't puke but I still have a killer headache." She say as brightly as she can with no coffee in the morning. But atleast I've got a plan to change that. Thank god for the delivery system!

"What I do need is my friend's, Nate's, hangover cure. Hand me my purse will you?" She says to me. Wait a second. Nate could be short for Nathan right? And Nathan is...

My brain begins to work things out, "Is Nate short for Nathan?" she nods. "As in Lucas' brother?" I ask shocked thinking maybe she meant another Nathan.

"Err yeah... Don't worry, me and him, we're cool. He actually doesn't like his brother much either," she says with a laugh. Did something happen between them? She did say...

*Flashback*

*Flashback ends*

What really happened between them?

The bell rings. "Oh I ordered coffee. Your favourite!" I say with a smile. "That's great!" She smiles back at me. She has such a beautiful smile.

I go to get the coffee. I double check my order and everything's good. Score!

"Ashmi!" I call from the kitchen. "Coming!" She shouts back.

She steps out of the room wearing my T shirt and my jaw drops. No I mean literally drops! 'I just moved fast enough to pick it up' drops!

I look at her in awe. "I can go change back into the dress, if you want. I didn't think you'd mind me borrowing it," She says quickly thinking she's offended me. Far from it really. In fact I'm thankful the kitchen counter is this tall. It hides my urmm 'excitement'? Yeah let's go with that.

"No don't," I say quickly, "It looks better on you than it ever did on me." 'and also makes you extremely turned on,' says the taunting voice in my head. I'm actually kind of shocked I'd said that. Although I do have a habit of not knowing when to stop talking. Should I like apologize or something?

"Thanks," she blushes and stands there awkwardly. "I guess I'm just not used to seeing a girl walking around in my clothes," I say blushing red. And the truth is I'm not. The only girl that I've had a mutual interest with is Felicity but she's in love with Oliver... and I love Iris?

"Really?" she raises an eyebrow. She actually looks kind of shocked. I didn't expect that.

"Well if it bothers you, I can take if off. Change back I mean, not take it off right now obviously I just meant take it off if it makes you uncomfortable," she says. I shake my head, "I already told you. It looks way better on you than it ever did on me. You can keep it. If you want, I mean."

I'm not being forward or anything! Think of it more as a gift. Who gives a girl an old T-shirt as a gift. It's official, I'm an idiot. I shouldn't have said that. I should not have said that.

"Thanks," she blushes again before getting her coffee.

"So..." I trail off. Should I ask her? Shouldn't I ? "You wanna know about me and Lucas and the whole story, don't you?" She says. I thought she'd be more angry but her tone is just serious.
I can't find the words so I just nod. "What do you wanna know?" She sighs. "Everything," I say looking into her eyes and placing a comforting hand on her shoulder.

She puts down her cup on the table and looks at me before beginning. "I was seventeen and my parents decided I should say with my Aunt and Uncle in Tree Hill. To get away from all the drama, you know? I was just wondering around when I came across a river court and I met this guy. I watched him as he played basketball and he was amazing. I started clapping when he was done and he turns around and starts being an ass. I tell him off and he ends up offering me a drink. I already knew him from my Aunt so I knew I wasn't in any danger. So I end up being his therapist and drinking buddy. Then we became friends and then best friends. His name is Nathan Royal Scott."

"So that's how you met Nathan? Then what about Lucas?" I ask curiously.

"Nathan actually told me all about his brother but I didn't even know it was him when I met him. I was at the river court waiting for Nathan and then I saw him. We got to talking and I told him about me. A few days later while we were together, Peyton shows up and he follows her, leaving me behind. I didn't speak to him for a while and I actually forgave him. We started dating. Going steady. It was great for a while, but then he started canceling dinners and forgetting about me. We did stuff, you know, like making out-" Ashmi carries on with the story.

"I really don't need to know that," I say, the jealousy practically seeping out of me.

"It's relevant to the story. So we never actually slept together. I was going to wait for my soulmate. I thought maybe we shouldn't wait any longer so I go over to his house to talk to him. And I see him and Peyton in bed together," She choked out the last part.

"Look you don't have to-" I say before she interrupts, "Yes I do."

"I didn't wait for an explanation. Nathan warned me and I didn't believe him. I couldn't get the image out of my mind so I ran to Nathan's house. We both were really lonely. His wife left him for an ugly rockstar with a bad attitude. She never even came to visit him in hospital. He was still in love with her even though he sent her the annulment papers. We were comforting each other. And one thing led to another," She says.

"So you slept together," I say shocked. "No we didn't, we came close though. We never told them we didn't because it got Haley to come back to him. And they all still think we did. It's another secret of Tree Hill, it makes New York look like Candy land," she closes her eyes as she finishes.

"Why didn't you just tell them the truth?" I say confused. "Why would we? I mean Nathan got Haley back. I didn't have to worry about Lucas anymore. And Nathan bought me a ticket to come here. For a fresh start. But then again you know what the say, the past can follow you wherever you go," She shrugs.

I walk to her and hold her. Her arms around my neck (I could get used to that!) and my arms around her waist. I can tell it was hard for her to tell me that. I can see it in her eyes. Those adorable brown eyes. She looks up at me. She looks vulnerable and fragile, it's so different from how she usually is - calm and confident. It's refreshing and scary at the same time.

I look down at her and lean towards her, attaching our lips. This wasn't like our other kisses those were passionate and fiery or hard and tantalizing. This was sweet and comforting. We break apart and I rest my forehead on hers and smile at her. "Thank you," I say. "For what?" She asks confused. "For telling me and for trusting me, I know it's a really big secret for you and I just want you to know, I won't tell anyone," I say sincerely.
"Thank you," she says emphasizing the 'you'. This time I'm confused, "For what?" "For being you." She smiles up at me.

We were so busy getting lost in each other's eyes I didn't hear the front door being opened. "Barry?" Iris says shocked and angry. Why is she angry? Did I forget something again?

"What the hell is going on here?" Iris says before running out. I rush out, following her. "Iris! Iris! What's wrong? Just talk to me will you," I say concerned. "What's wrong is, I can't lose you Barry! And she's not who you think she is!" She says to me.

"Firstly you're not going to lose me. We're best friends aren't we? And what do you mean? Who is she?" I say trying to figure out what's going on.

"I can't tell you," She bites her lip. "I don't believe you," I say. "Then believe this," She says before grabbing my face and kissing me. There was no sparks, no fireworks, no nothing!

I push her off of me. "I don't believe you! I left an amazing girl in there because of you! And I'm not even in love with you. Not anymore! And all this because you're jealous that I'm finally moving on! I'm no longer a puppy running behind you with a tail between his legs anymore. I can't believe this!" I exclaim angrily and in disbelief.

This is the girl I was in love with for years and when I finally have her. When she could be mine. There's nothing. No fireworks. No passion. No sparks. Not even electricity.

And that's when I realize, maybe I love Iris West and I always will because she's my first love. But I'm no longer in love with Iris West and of that I'm sure.

Ashmi's POV

"So..." He trails off. He wants to know, doesn't he? "You wanna know about me and Lucas and the whole story, don't you?" I say. He probably figured I'd be angry so he just nods. "What do you wanna know?" I sigh. "Everything," He says looking into my eyes and placing a comforting hand on my shoulder.

I put down my cup on the table and look at him before beginning. "I was seventeen and my parents decided I should say with my Aunt and Uncle in Tree Hill. To get away from all the drama, you know? I was just wondering around when I came across a river court and I met this guy. I watched him as he played basketball and he was amazing. I started clapping when he was done and he turns around and starts being an ass. I tell him off and he ends up offering me a drink. I already knew him from my Aunt so I knew I wasn't in any danger. So I end up being his therapist and drinking buddy. Then we became friends and then best friends. His name was Nathan Royal Scott." I have to smile at that. It's how I met one of my best friends. How can I not?

"So that's how you met Nathan? Then what about Lucas?" He asks curiously.

"I really don't need to know that," He says. Wait a second... Is he jealous? Because that's kinda hot!

"Look you don't have to-" He says before I interrupt, "Yes I do." If I'm going to tell him about one part of my life. I'm atleast going to do it right.

"So you slept together," He says shocked. "No we didn't, we came close though. We never told them we didn't because it got Haley to come back to him. And they all still think we did. It's another secret of Tree Hill, it makes New York look like Candy land," I close my eyes as I finish.

"Why didn't you just tell them the truth?" He says confused. "Why would we? I mean Nathan got Haley back. I didn't have to worry about Lucas anymore. And Nathan bought me a ticket to come here. For a fresh start. But then again you know what the say, the past can follow you wherever you go," I shrug. My past always comes back to bite me in the ass.

He walks to me and holds me. His arms around my waist (I could get used to that!) and my arms around his neck. I look up at me and I find perspective. Clarity. Hope.

He looks down at me and leans towards me, attaching our lips. This wasn't like our other kisses those were passionate and fiery or hard and tantalizing. This was sweet and comforting. We break apart and he rests his forehead on mine and smiles at me. "Thank you," He says. "For what?" I ask confused. Why is he thanking me? He's the one that listened to my sob story! "For telling me and for trusting me, I know it's a really big secret for you and I just want you to know, I won't tell anyone," He says sincerely. And I try so hard to believe but my walls aren't ready to crash. Not yet anyway.

"Thank you," I say emphasizing the 'you'. This time he's confused, "For what?" "For being you." I smile up at him.

We were so busy getting lost in each other's eyes we didn't hear the front door being opened. "Barry?" Iris says shocked and angry. Why is she angry? I mean she's dating Eddie!

"What the hell is going on here?" Iris says before running out. He rushes out, following her. He left! After the whole conversation. He just left me there! Maybe there's a good explanation for what happened. So I follow them.

"Iris! Iris! What's wrong? Just talk to me will you," He says concerned. "What's wrong is, I can't lose you Barry! And she's not who you think she is!" She says to him. Does she know the truth? Does she know what I am? What I can do?

"Firstly you're not going to lose me. We're best friends aren't we? And what do you mean? Who is she?" He says trying to figure out what's going on. I bite my lip. This is the moment it all comes down to. Will she tell him?

"I can't tell you," She bites her lip. "I don't believe you," He says. "Then believe this," She says before grabbing his face and kissing him. I know he's in love with her. I've seen the way he looked at her. And I wasn't going to stick around for them to decide they want to be together, so I left.
