Don`t forget to leave a review and thanks for all the favorites and follows from the last chapter guys, I really appreciate it! Hope you like chapter two, this one has the S.T.A.R. labs gang in it :)
Barry got outside and saw Hunter climbing onto a motor bike that was sitting in the parking lot.
"They gave you a motorcycle?"
"What, do you really think they would trust me with a police car?" Hunter tossed his extra helmet at Barry, who barley caught it. He adjusted the strap and hopped on behind Hunter. "You ready?"
"Think so, you do know how drive this thing right?"
"Can`t be that hard"
"Wait a minute, what?" And they spend off with Hunter laughing and Barry hanging on to his waist for dear life. Barry opened his eyes after a little bit. He`d hate to admit it, but he liked the view of Central City from here. He`d never slowed down enough from getting around as the Flash (or just being late in general) to enjoy it. "Oh right here, Jitters." He pointed to the little café and Hunter pulled into a parking spot. Barry wobbled a little after get off the bike. "Whoa, whoa, you okay?" Hunter said as he grabbed Barry's waste to hold him steady.
"Yeah just wobbly." Barry found himself blushing at Hunter's sudden touch.
"Not use to going that fast are we?" Hunter teased
"You have no idea."
"A coffee shop, why am I not surprised?" Hunter said as they entered Jitters. The two of them got their respective drinks, and sat down near the window. "You don't put Courvoisier in your coffee anymore?" Hunter asked.
"If anybody in this town knew what it was, let alone carried it, I would."
"Oh you poor, poor soul."
"Shut up Hunt." Barry lightly kicked him under the table. "So, how have you been since graduation? Done anything other than the Army, relationship maybe?"
"Okay, slow down" Hunter staggered for answers. "No I joined infantry right after I graduated. And no, I haven't had anything that resembles a love life since well...you"
"I'd hardly call what we did romance Hunter."
"What I mean is..."
"No love for Hunter" he just rolled his eyes.
"What about you?"
"Me?" Barry questioned
"No the guy behind you."
"No I did have a girlfriend for a little while, but it didn't work out. So I'm back to being forever alone."
"Oh come on, you're not forever alone. At least you attempted a love life." Hunter smiled behind his cup as he took a sip. Barry was single, he had a chance.
"Are you still going by that 'not-even-remotely-bi-curious' bull like in high school?"
"Hey, it wasn't completely bull at the time I said it. But no. I outed myself right before I left for the Army to my parents. I figured I was leaving so I didn't have anything to loose. I am officially Bi."
"Well congratulations, you're out here with the rest of us. How's it feel?"
"Not as pressured as I was, so it's good I guess. And technically you`re not even 'out here with the rest of us' to half these people."
"Yeah, I guess" Barry said biting his lip.
There was an awkward pause between them. Neither of them knew what to talk about, so they just sipped their coffee. "Hey it's late, should we get dinner?" Hunter asked finally breaking the silence.
Barry looked at his watch. "Yeah I was going to get dinner at home, but here is cool too." He wanted to add 'with you' but he didn't.
"So where is home for you now anyways?"
"With my foster dad Joe."
"The detective Joe?"
"Yeah, I did live in my own apartment. It didn't work out too well."
"What would 'didn't work out' mean?"
"The place was a piece of crap." They both laughed and ordered their dinner. Barry got a simple order of a soup combo and Hunter got a chicken sandwich. They ate and kept talking about their life and joking around. The years seemed to slip away. A half an hour in and they were back in their dorm room, endlessly goofing off. Barry's phone went off sending him back to reality.
"Hunt, I got to go I'm sorry."
"Oh well, can I drive you where you need to go?" Hunter asked.
"No, it's only a short walk from here. I'd hate for you to waste gas on such a short trip."
"Okay…if you say so." They cleaned up their food and walked out the door to the parking lot.
"This was fun" Barry stated.
"Yeah, we should do it more often" Hunter said quietly.
"Hunter James Clarington, did you just ask me out?" The scarlet speedster teased. Hunter just shrugged as a response.
"I'll see you tomorrow Allen" the last name still felt so foreign to the blond.
Barry nodded "Tomorrow." Hunter smiled and slipped on his helmet and drove off. Barry stood there smiling like an idiot for a long time, until speeding off to S.T.A.R. labs.
"About time you got here." Cisco said looking at a computer sucking a lollipop.
"Sorry I had a hard time ditching someone."
"Yeah, yeah, excuses, excuses. Come on Wells is in here." Caitlin said pushing him into another part of the lab.
"Nice of you to join us Mr. Allen" Dr. Wells commented as the three walked in.
"Sorry, now what's the problem?"
"The C.C.P.D. got military help today right?" Caitlin asked
"Yeah, why is that important to you guys?"
"One of the Army men was there during the explosion. We found footage of him guarding one of the doors from protesters." She paused to bring the clip up on the screen. "We think he might be a Meta." She zoomed in, and there he was standing proud and focus as he always did.
"Hunt" Barry said in shock.
"What?" Cisco questioned not hearing Barry clearly.
"Hunter Clarington, he's the one I'm working with in the lab." He didn't go into any more detail that that. If anyone could research and find Sebastian, it would be them.
"How convenient" Dr. Wells cocked his head "play the clips." Barry starred in horror as his former co-caption got hit by the explosion and...disappeared?
"What happened, did he just-"
"Turn invisible, we think so." Wells remarked.
"That or transport" Cisco said with a wild grin. "That would be awesome! We could find him and go to Hawaii." Barry let it all sink in, Hunter was a meta-human that turned invisible or transported.
"Oh god" Barry mumbled.
"What, too much if a shock for you Flash?" The Latino teased back.
"No it's just-what if he's evil like the rest of them?" He couldn't bear the thought of Hunter getting locked up in the prison under their feet.
"We'll find out I guess. Until then keep a close eye on him." Wells said wheeling to the door "and technically Mr. Allen, no one is truly evil."
"And please be careful. We don't know what he's capable of" Caitlin advised.
"So is that it? No actual crimes for tonight?" Barry asked
"Surprisingly yes, that's it for now. You can go home until something comes up." The red head said smiling.
"Unless, Barry, you want to go out drinking and hang out with us again?" Cisco suggested.
"Nah, it`s been a long and crazy day, thanks though." Barry said and he sped off toward home.
Hope you liked the second chapter and don`t forget to leave a review and tell me if you have any ideas from the next one, you might see it in the future :) ~Dmhello.
