Chapter 3: The Wedding
Barry's POV
It has been a total of six months since the singularity appeared over Central City. Iris' and Eddie's wedding is in a couple of months.
"Hey Barry, you know how Eddie's and my wedding is in a couple of months right?" Iris asked me
"Yeah what about it?" I responded
"Well I want you to be there. Well I thought it would make sense for my best friend for over a decade should be there"
"I'll be there"
"Also Barry, bring someone. I better not see you alone, maybe bring Caitlin. I've seen how you two look at each other"
"What is that supposed to mean?"
"It's the same look both Eddie and I do"
As Iris left the Cortex, I knew I would need to find someone to take because I knew Iris would be pissed if I didn't have anyone there with me but I thought about what Iris has said about me and Caitlin.
Caitlin's POV
I walked into the Cortex and saw Barry working on something.
"Hey Barry whatcha you working on?" I asked
"I'm trying to track down Zoom by tracking static electricity, but so far haven't found anything" Barry replied. As I was walking towards my lab to put my bag in there but was stopped by Barry. "Cait I have a question for you"
"What is it?"
"Iris has asked me to be there at her wedding and she wants me to bring someone" He said "So I was wondering if you'd like to come with me" I was kinda shocked that Barry would ask me to go to a wedding. I didn't know he felt that way about me. I always thought that it was only one way, not mutual.
"I'd love to go"
Five Days before the Wedding
Barry's POV
A new meta human going by the name Pyro has attack the Central City Gold reserves and this will be the first test of the new power dampening cuffs that Cisco has developed.
"What should we wear to the wedding?" Asked Caitlin
"Huh?" I asked confused
I heard faintly over the comms Cisco asked "Wedding? Are you two… you know"
"No we are not getting married Cisco, this is for Iris' wedding" Caitlin replied
Caitlin continued to talk "Well since their wedding is in five days we plan out what we are wearing"
As Caitlin and I was talking I got hit by a blast from Pyro
"Oh, Flashy here doesn't like the heat" Pyro said
"You don't have to do this Frye" I said
"Oh but I do"
Pyro was using his powers to block me from running. I rotated my arms quite fast to create a wind current which threw Pyro back.
"It's over Frye" I rebuked
"No, no it's not" As he finished his sentence he took off like a rocket into the ceiling and into the sky.
"What if we wore something that matches?" Caitlin asked
"How about we talk about this when I get back to STAR Labs" I said. I sped back to STAR Labs to report what happened.
"So what happened?" Caitlin asked
"Pyro got away" I responded
"Not entirely" Professor Stein jumped in "Both Harry and I have found a way to find him"
"How?" I asked
"Using the same way you tracked Firestorm last year" Harry answered "Using infrared"
"We'll track him down, you two have somethings to figure out" Cisco said. He told Caitlin and I and winked at me.
"Cisco!" I said hitting him in the arm.
"But Cisco is right, we need to figure out what we are wearing" Caitlin said
"Don't worry we'll find him" Cisco reassured me. I picked up Caitlin and ran out of the Cortex to her car.
"I'll drive"
"Why don't we just run there?" Caitlin asked
"Caitlin"
"What, it would be fast then driving there"
"Fine" I sighed. I picked up Caitlin again and ran to the Central City Shopping Mall to look for a place to buy our outfits.
"What about this store?" She asked
"Yeah let's go take a look." I agreed
As we walked in one of the employees walked up to us.
"Can I help you guys find what you are looking for" They asked
"Yeah actually, we're looking for outfits that would go well with a wedding" I explained
"Oh, Congratulations you two"
"Oh we aren't getting married" Caitlin said
"My… sister is getting married" I explained
"Sorry for my misunderstandment"
"Don't worry you aren't the only one who made that mistake" I said looking at Caitlin. Caitlin laughed
"I think this would fit what you are looking for" They said
Caitlin's POV
As they were leading both Barry and me over to the outfits, Barry looked over smiled and then put his arm around me.
"These are our best outfits for a wedding but they do cost a bit" They said
"Oh my god Barry look at the price" I gasped
"Don't worry about the price Cait I got it" Barry said
"Are you sure they cost a lot?"
"Yes Cait I'm sure. We'll take them"
Barry's POV
When we left the store I ran both of us back to Caitlin's.
"I can't believe you just did that" Caitlin said
"What buying the best outfit, for the best person" I said
As I said that I leaned in and kissed Caitlin. She didn't resist.
"Since when did the fastest man alive have an interest in a Bio-Engineer."
"But the real question is since when did a Bio-Engineer have an interest in a CSI" I said leaning back into kissing her. My phone went off but ignored it to be with Caitlin. It went off three more times for Caitlin said to check it.
"Barry, Caitlin we need you guys back at STAR Labs quick" Cisco said
"What's going on?" I asked
"We've found Pyro"
"Can it wait until tomorrow?"
"I guess"
"Thanks"
As I turned off my phone I saw Caitlin in bed already going thru channels on the tv.
"So what are we going to watch, Dr. Snow?" I asked
"I don't know, Mr. Allen" Caitlin said while we both laughed. I started to kiss Caitlin again.
"What about Star Trek?" Caitlin asked "I know you and Cisco watch it and I kinda want to start watching it, and I know it's one of your favorites, you know since you and Cisco watched it five times"
"I'm fine with anything if you're here, except for the first episode it's terrible." I said
We ended up watching a couple of episodes until Caitlin fell asleep.
"Goodnight Cait." I whispered. I turned off the tv and the lights and fell asleep as well.
The next day
Caitlin's POV
I slept quite well, probably because I knew I was save with Barry here.
"Cait, Cait wake up" Barry said to me quietly "We need to go to STAR Labs"
"Ten more minutes"
"Cait come on"
I turned over on to my side and lifted the blankets over my head only to have them pulled off by Barry.
"Fine" I said "but you owe me a coffee from Jitters"
"Come on" He said waving towards the door
I got up really slow but Barry used his speed to get me dressed.
"Barry I could have done that"
"You might have but we would have been late. Let's go to Jitters quickly" Barry said while we both were laughing. Since we didn't take my car yesterday Barry decided to run us to Jitters and then to STAR Labs.
"Sorry we're late…" Barry started to say
"I slept in" I finished
"Cait"
"He's our friend he deserves to know"
Point at both of us Cisco said "Oh, you two…"
"Yeah" Barry said "So You said yesterday that you found Pyro"
"He's on the move again" Yelled Harry
"Jefferson" Professor Stein said. He merged with Jackson to become Firestorm.
"Are we going?" Firestorm asked. I looked at Caitlin
"Go get him" She said while smirking
Both Firestorm and I followed and caught up to Pyro. Firestorm landed on him and grounded him.
"Flash back so soon." Pyro said "and who's this new guy" As he finished talking he shot a fire ball at Firestorm but to his surprise he only absorbed it.
"Hey Frye can we just hurry this up I have a bachelor party that I need to get to" I said signaling to Firestorm. At the moment I had Pyro distracted Firestorm flew right into him knocking him out.
"Thanks, that guy was kinda annoying me"
"Hey no problem. If you need our help again both Grey and I will be there" Firestorm would take off into the skies as I would take Pyro and lock him up in the pipeline. As I returned to the cortex both Caitlin and Cisco were waiting for me.
"Is there a problem?" I asked
"Yeah you're still here" Cisco said "You should be with Eddie right now at his bachelor party"
"And before you go here take this" Caitlin said handing me a bottle
"What is it?" I asked
"It's 650 proof" Caitlin said "Since the 500 proof kinda worked we thought that you should be able to drink like the rest of them"
"Thanks, both of you"
"Now get down there" Cisco said
I ran off to meet Eddie at Warriors
"Hey Eddie"
"Hey Barr"
Four days later
Caitlin's POV
It's the day of the wedding and it's in a couple of hours. Barry ran to my door and knocked. I knew it was Barry since I heard his sonic blast.
"Barry come in"
"How did you know it was me?"
"I had a feeling"
Barry leaned in and kissed me
"So are we ready to go?" Barry asked
"I think we are" I said laughing
Barry picked me up and ran us to Iris and Eddie's wedding.
"Barry! Caitlin!" Iris yelled while walking towards us. "Thank you guys for coming"
"Yeah, no problem Iris, we're happy for you" I said
"Hey Barry can I talk to you?" Iris asked
"Yeah sure" Barry asked "You'll be ok?"
"Yeah I'll be fine" I said. As Barry walked off to talk with Iris, Joe walked up to me
"Hey Caitlin"
"Hey Joe"
"So I saw you came with Barry"
"Yeah, he asked me if I wanted to come"
"So you and Barry?"
"I don't know, maybe"
"Caitlin, I just want to let you know that you don't need to 'Win me over' to be with Barry because i'm like his father and all. Since the moment I saw you two together I saw chemistry between you"
"Joe"
"Sorry I just had to make that joke" He said while we both laughed
After the wedding
Both Barry and I walked over to Iris and Eddie to congratulate them.
"Hey once again congrats you guys" Barry said "and Eddie remember to not put yourself in danger… she gets a bit mad"
"Barry!" Iris yelled
"What? It's true isn't it?" Barry asked. Eddie started to laugh at what Barry said. A little bit later me and Barry start to walk out of the party so Barry could use his speed. Captain Singh caught up to us to ask Barry something.
"Allen" Singh yelled
"Yes Captain"
"We need some info on this new Meta called Pyro. Is there anyway that you could find some information on him?"
"Yeah I think I can find something"
"Thanks Allen"
Barry's POV
As the Captain started to walk back to the party. Zoom arrived and grabbed Caitlin
"As I told you, I will take everything from you" Zoom said
"Zolomon let her go. This is between me and you" Captain Singh turned around and saw Zoom holding Caitlin. He came running with his gun out
"Let her go!" He yelled while running closer. Zoom ran off with Caitlin
"Caitlin!" I yelled. I sped off not caring if Singh found out that I'm the flash. I followed Zoom until I lost him. I searched the city many times. I returned to STAR Labs.
"Cisco search the city for a high amount of Static Electricity." I said
"Where's Caitlin?" Cisco asked. All I did was look at him
"I'm on it." He said running towards the computer.
