I walked into the lower labs, stumbling to keep a hold on all the bags in my hands. Once at the computers I sighed heavily as I plopped the bags down. "You know if it hurts your hand, maybe you should avoid using it."
I rolled my eyes and turned towards Barry. "Hey this bum hand of mine brought you all dinner. Where is everyone?"
At the realization Barry began searching through the bags on the counter. "Greek? Did Cisco tell you to bring this?" I shook my head.
"Nah he texted me complaining of being hungry for it and I figured you'd guys want more than what's in the fridge so I came with a big treat! Was he complaining about food to you guys?"
Barry rolled his eyes. "If there isn't food in his hands he's complaining about wanting food." I laughed and grabbed Cisco's food. "The rest is you guys, where's Cisco?"
Barry pointed towards a hallway and began grabbing food boxes. I turned on my heels and made my way down a hallway. I found him tinkering with the Flash suit. "As much as I love seeing a man work, I come bearing gifts!"
Cisco jumped a bit and turned to look at me, a smile playing at his lips. "Gifts?" I held up his food and his smile grew. "Greek?" I nodded my head and he quickly got up and started moving papers off the table next to me. Once settled and eating I glanced between the suit and the papers. "OK I may be smart but I'm a little lost, what are you working on in here?"
I couldn't help but notice Cisco sit up straighter and buff up his chest a bit. "Well I came up with a great idea for incase Snart uses the cold gun on Barry again."
I finally picked up one of the papers and glanced around the page. "Sooooo if he gets froze, the suit will activate and heat up? To get it hot enough to quickly melt, won't it hurt Barry?"
Cisco shifted a few papers around until he found the right one and handed it to me. "Oh. Yeah ok that works, do you do all stuff with the suit? Who made it?"
Cisco buffed his chest a little more and smiled. "I did."
I forced myself not to roll my eyes at him and leaned forward. "You can sew?"
Cisco laughed a little. "I learned a lot from my mom. Most of the skills I used to make the suit came from watching her. Though the suit isn't just simple fabric, so science did help" I got up and got a closer look at the suit. "I've never really gotten a close look at this thing. It's really impressive!"
"Yeah my fingers can be pretty nimble" I shivered as Cisco slid his fingertips up my outer thighs to the edge of my dress. I leaned back into Cisco's chest and closed my eyes. As Cisco's hands slid up my dress we both heard footsteps coming. We jerked away and I started cleaning up the food as Cisco started putting wires back into the suits chest. I used my juice bottle to try and cool off my warm cheeks. "Hey Dr. Wells has something to show you Cisco" I kept my back turned to Barry as I trashed the empty food boxes. I wiped the condensation from my bottle off my cheeks and walked to my purse. "Well you guys are busy. I fed you guys so I'm heading home for the night! Be safe, don't be out too late, all that stuff"
Barry gave me a quizzical look and nodded "ok I'll see you Lucy, thanks for the food. How much do we all owe you?"
I waved him off. "Nah you guys treat me to lunch all the time, this time it's my treat" I turned over to Cisco, "ok I'm out, I'll see you later!"
He gave me a quick kiss and smiled "alright I love you"
2 days later I come back into the labs. I'm not sure what happened, but I do know they're staying late at the labs. I picked up dinner again and made my way to the main lab room. Per usual I place the food on the counter by the computers. Everyone is surrounding them and that's when I notice the large glass case. With something inside. "OK what the fuck is that!"
I slap my hand over my mouth and look around at everyone, who are all looking at me with raised eyebrows. I clear my throat. "I uh- I mean what is this?"
Caitlin circles around and points at the little buzzing robot. "This is a robotic bee. There's been bee attacks and we assumed there was a meta human who could control bees. We captured this little guy during a swarm attack."
I leaned in and took a better look. "Yeah that's no normal bee. Creepy little bugger though. Wait. Metahuman?"
Barry spoke up. "I'm not the only one with special abilities. Though many of them aren't good people. We try to catch these other meta humans before they cause too much damage to the city."
I mouthed an 'oh' and stood back up. I never thought much about it. Even though I knew about Barry, I didn't really do much to help around. I didn't see there much for me to really do. They have things surprisingly well thought out here. Other than to bring everyone food when they work through meals I don't even come down here. I just try to avoid everything that caused my kidnapping. I didn't blame any of them, but I didn't trust myself enough to help. Suddenly a woman entered the room. "I must say this place really is impressive." I jumped and looked over at her. Barry instantly came between us. "Hey Luce this is Felicity, she's here with a friend to help out." Barry turned towards her. "This is Lucielle, Caitlin's assistant up in star Labs and Cisco's girlfriend." I meekly said hi and started looking around for Cisco. "He's with Ray working on his suit." I raised my eyebrows at Felicity. His suit? Who's suit?
"Just go where Cisco works on the Flash suit, they're working there." I nodded a thank you to Barry and walked down the hallway. I stepped in quietly and took in the differences. There in fact was a different suit, this one made of metal. Cisco was talking to a man about the suit as they both fiddled with wires and such. I shifted uncomfortably, not sure what to do to make my presence known. "Is there something you need Miss?"
I widened my eyes. I guess that was easy. Cisco turned quickly and smiled at me. "Hey you! Come here look at this sweet suit!" I slowly stepped forward.
"Much different than the Flash" the man laughed. "Yeah but I need the suit to do what Barry can do without." I furrowed my brows, what could this guy do?
"So you wanna help?" I looked at the guy generally surprised.
"Oh no engineering is more Cisco's specialty" the guy looked somewhat amused.
"Well with how he spoke of you I'm sure you'd be some sort of help"
I blushed and looked over at Cisco who smiled meekly at me. I let out a long sigh. "OK I guess I can at least look at what you two are doing."
Viv walked in looking a bit guilty. She sat down next to me and turned to face me. "So you know how our lease is up?"
I nodded. "Yeah I've been meaning to get them renewed for us."
Viv shifted uncomfortably. "Well I've been here for almost a year. You almost 8 months. I've gotten pretty attached to this place.." I felt my anxiety go up. I knew what was happening. "Erick wants me to move in with him."
I nodded, not sure how to process what she was saying. "I mean you could find a new roommate, pay for the apartment alone, or maybe get a smaller apartment.."
I shushed Viv. "It's fine, you're doing your thing, I'm fully capable of doing my own ok? We're still friends!" Viv hugged me and stood up. "I'm gonna start packing!" She ran off to her room and I was left sitting here, wondering what to do next.
Cisco sat next to me, his eyes on the TV while we ate. All of a sudden he put his food down and faced me. "You've been pretty silent lately. What's up?"
I sighed and shrugged. "Viv is moving, I'm not sure what to do. The lease is up soon on this place."
"Move in with me" I looked over, watching his face for any sort of emotion. I seen nervousness. "You serious?"
He glanced my way and nodded his head. "If.. you.. you know want to.."
I rolled my eyes. "Don't be so nervous all the time. I would enjoy moving in with you"
"Really?" I leaned back and rubbed my face. "Well I mean it would be convenient. We work at the same place. We do a lot together, and it's walking distance from the subway." Cisco turned to face me better. ""Its a big step for us to take." I nodded and avoided his eyes. "I don't know what it is about you, but you are the best thing in my life. You showed me I can't be afraid of life. You've given me confidence. Yeah I know a model with low self esteem? You can edit them pictures. But I can stand in front of you naked and not have a dash of fear. You are amazing to me and I am comfortable with this if you are."
Cisco grabbed the back of my head and pulled me in for a kiss
