I am once again loaded with homework, projects, and things I chose to take on but should not have, but I will have at least one chapter a week. Hopefully more. Love ya guys.

Prompt from Highlander 348. Iris gets superpowers in the accident alongside Barry. The only difference is she does not fall into a coma like him. She gets the power of teleporting. She becomes a superhero called Vanisher who wears a domino mask. Barry wakes up and realizes Central city already has a superhero thanks to Iris. He becomes the Flash anyway and a rivalry develops between them in the next few weeks. The Flash tries to beat Vanisher to crime scenes but she is faster than him by teleporting. Plus to mess with him further Vanisher has a habit of surprising Flash and then grabbing him physically and teleporting with him quickly all over the city making him dizzy. Iris vows to unmask the Flash so she will have the advantage in their next encounter though. They have a mini-battle between them with both of them pulling their masks off at the same time. Needless to say Iris is shocked as is Barry.

Iris had been kind of distant since Barry woke up from his nine month coma. He knew him being gone was hard on her, but he knew something else was going on with her. Barry wasn't really one to talk. He has woken up nine months from his last memory with super speed and was now running around the city, close to the speed of sound, saving people and stopping bad metahumans, and he wasn't alone. Even his team at STAR Labs didn't know who she was. Vanisher. She would just appear at crime scenes or where attacks were taking place. Everywhere the Flash went to save people, Vanisher was there.

In a way it was nice to know he wasn't really alone, in his crusade or in being a good metahuman. If the city ever discovered and believed the existence of metahumans they would have at least two examples of good people with powers amongst all of the bank robbers and vengeful murders. What was driving Barry crazy was that he didn't know who she was. He wanted to know. Vanisher had practically been flirting with him at the last mugging they had met at, and he would be lying if he said he wasn't flirting back.

Barry loved Iris, he always had, but there was just something about Vanisher that was so familiar and intoxicating. He would go so far to say that he was developing feelings to rival those he had for Iris, and this masked woman didn't see him as a brother. The only problem was that he had no idea who she really was. Barry was constantly berating himself. How could he feel even close to what he felt for the best friend he had fallen in love with twenty years ago, especially when he knew next to nothing about this other woman? You can't be equally in love with two people.

"Hey, Bear." Iris greeted brightly as he walked into Jitters after a long night of chasing the masked teleporter from crime scene to crime scene. They had kept up the game of cat and mouse even after they had run out of crimes to stop.

"Hey, Iris." Barry felt worried for her as he realized that Iris looked almost as exhausted as he felt. She still looked beautiful, but he had known her for years, and he could easily tell when she had had sleepless nights. He healed quickly and as long as he ate enough he would be fine after running a full night, but Iris couldn't heal like him, she needed to be getting her sleep.

I am being really overprotective. He thought to himself. Do you worry this much about Vanisher? His mind went off course from there in a usual tangent; with one side of his head telling him he loved Iris, and the other arguing that he loved Vanisher. He tried his best to silence both halves and just drink his coffee. Barry was beginning to think he had a split personality disorder. At least both of his developing personalities could agree that love is confusing.

Iris was more exhausted than she had ever been before. She had had the Flash following her all over the city last night, and she had never teleported that many times in one night before. It had been thrilling. Iris felt like the Flash could understand her like no one else ever could, even Barry. Barry was still her best friend and she still loved him, but the Flash knew what it was like to have super powers, and well, she felt like the Flash returned her feelings, where Barry had always been oblivious to them.

As exhausted as teleporting away from the Flash with only time for a few flirtatious words was, she found herself counting down the hours until she could don her domino mask and vanish. Her powers made her feel so alive and in control, and her time with the Flash was just so thrilling and fun. How could she possibly last the whole rest of the day?

Finally, it was closing time. All Iris had left to do before she could go beat Flash to an attack or something like that was clean up. She made good use of her teleporting abilities and didn't bother walking anywhere. Iris could go from each table to the kitchen and dishwasher in no time. Still she thought this is one thing that the Flash could probably do a lot faster.

But, Iris had a plan. Tonight she would find out who the other masked hero was. Maybe she would even get the courage to ask him to gout with her, or more likely, she would ask to team up with him. Either way, tonight she would know who the Flash really is under that mask.

"Hello Flash." Iris spoke through a voice modifying app on the phone.

"Hi, Vanisher. Up for a little race?" He smirked.

"You're on." She leaned up against him and rose to her tip toes to reach the tall hero's ear.

Iris vanished going from alleyway to alleyway looking from any sight of trouble while the Flash zipped through streets as fast as he could. They crossed each other's path only a few times. Tonight was rather quiet, both of them liked thinking that their little competition had lowered the crime rate, but they knew better.

The Flash scoured a few streets while he looked for Vanisher's new location, and he found her on the rooftop of Jitters.

"You're losing your touch, I've been waiting here for almost seven minutes." She teased appearing right beside him then teleporting to the other side of the roof.

"For someone so beautiful, you're hard to find. My head is spinning from running in ever widening circles." Barry ran to where she was.

"So, how was your day?" She asked. He laughed at the simplicity of the statement as they teleported and ran around each other.

"Long."

"Hmm, is it better now?" She stood by him and rubbed his muscled arm.

"Getting there." He scooped her up in his arms and ran to the other side of the roof. He stopped but kept her in his arms.

"Are you going to put me down anytime soon?" She bit her lip to keep from smiling to wide. They both seemed to be really terrible at flirting, but somehow it worked. (I'm not good at flirting, so I'm not very good at writing it. I hope this fills your feels with sweet, goofy, cheesiness.)

"Nope, probably not."

Iris vanished and appeared on her feet only a few inches from him. At nearly the same moment their hands reached to each other's mask. For a few seconds they stood stalk still staring into the face of their best friend.

Barry reached out to touch Iris's face then bent down to kiss her.

"I love you, Iris." He said as they pulled apart for air.

"I love you too, Bear." She pulled him down into another kiss before allowing him to scoop her up again and carry her home.
