Not an Iris prompt, but I still like it anyway.
Prompt from KaMi-HiMe BVB. Barry and Eddie are working on a case in his lab when a metahuman attacks and Barry saves Eddie.
"What the heck happened here?" The captain said as Barry walked over to where he, Joe, and Eddie stood.
"It looks like his head was bashed in. It only took one hit, so whatever was used must have been really heavy, or we're looking for someone with super strength." Barry said kneeling down by the corpse.
"There you are Allen." The captain glared down at him, and he winced.
"Bashed in with one blow? The man barely has any head left, Barry." Eddie commented.
"There is only one fracture pattern suggesting either they hit the exact same place on the victim's head which is nearly impossible, especially if the victim was moving at the time of the first hit, or they were hit once with something very heavy." Barry leaned down a little closer to the body, covering his nose. "There's something in here." He pulled an evidence bag and tweezers out of his coat. He pulled out a shard of metal. "I should be able to figure out what from the autopsy and this metal bit. I'll start that analysis right when I get back to the lab."
Barry continued to look for anything that could be useful in the investigation while the others talked to the traumatized teens who had found the body. Joe's good at that. Barry thought. He's had plenty of experience.
Eventually everyone was ready to go back to the station. Barry went straight to his lab. He started the test and was getting extremely impatient. When you can move faster than the speed of sound, three hours of waiting seems like an eternity.
After about an hour Eddie came in to talk to him.
"Barry, can I ask you something kinda weird?"
Barry narrowed his eyes suspiciously, "Okaaaaaay."
"Is Iris cheating on me?"
"WHAT? Why would you think that?"
"Well, she's been ignoring my calls and, and she always seems so distracted."
"Why come to me?"
"You're her best friend. You know her better than anyone else besides her dad, and I couldn't ask him, obviously."
Eddie, calm, collected, sure of himself Eddie was asking him, the nerdy brother-zoned guy, for relationship help. But not just any relationship help, he wanted help with the relationship he had with the girl Barry was in love with.
"Eddie, I do know her. I can tell when she's happy, when she's confused, when she's sad, or just plain lost, but this is her first serious relationship. I can't tell you how she will react to anything because I have absolutely nothing to base a conjecture off of. All I can tell you is that Iris is not the kind of girl that would cheat on someone. She cares about you." It hurt to say that, it was like Barry had stabbed himself in the leg. "She will not pull you along if she thinks it might hurt you, and she will not continue to do things that make her unhappy. Iris will not cheat, and if she wants out of a relationship, she will get out of it. You're probably just nervous because you're in a serious relationship."
"You're right. You know, you know women so well, but you don't have a girlfriend, why is that?"
Barry was saved from coming up with a ridiculous excuse when they heard shouts and gunfire downstairs.
"We need to check that out." Barry had already started toward the door when it flew off its hinges. Whoever had been creating a commotion downstairs, was now in the lab.
"Barry get out!" Eddie called and motioned him toward the door.
The intruder looked toward him and suddenly a chair was hurtling toward his head. Barry ran to catch the chair before it could hit Eddie.
"Telekinesis, interesting." Barry commented under his breath.
"How'd you get over here so fast?"
"Seriously? You want to go through this now?" Barry scoffed.
"No, no, sorry."
Barry ran toward the metahuman dodging all the debris he had called to get in the Flash's way. Barry would get in a few punches, then run and move Eddie out of the way of random items like computers, chairs, and even his MA spectrometer, and then he would repeat the process, until finally he got a lucky shot and knocked out the metahuman. In reality it took only a few minutes, but Barry was exhausted by the constant changes in direction. He needed to work on that at STAR Labs.
He just about collapsed, but Eddie caught him.
"Woah, you ok there Flash?"
"Yeah, I just need to sit down and eat a calorie bar. It's weird to hear you call me that." Barry chuckled and Eddie joined in.
"Where are the calorie bars?"
Barry lifted his arm weakly and pointed to his locker. "They are in the duffel bag, in my locker."
Eddie reached into his locker and unzipped the duffel bag. "You keep your Flash suit at the precinct? You do know detectives come in and out of here freely right?" Eddie said walking over to Barry while opening his calorie bar.
"And yet the only police that know are you and Joe. The two people I have shown my powers to."
"Does Iris know?"
"No, and she never can." Barry shook his head with wide eyes. "She would be in too much danger. Her blog is too much already, not that I could convince her that fact face to face or face to mask."
"Face to mask?" Eddie gave a small laugh.
"Don't worry, I know I'm not cool."
"You just saved my life, Barry, from a telekinetic madman. I'd say that's pretty cool."
Barry smiled.
