The Luchador

Of Science!

Part 2

Disclaimer: Ohh yeah! Finally touching on this one boys and girls! And of course, I don't own a thing but what you see here! And to Hell with head colds! Follow up to chapter 10.

Summary: In the aftermath of Barry's coma, one Bea da Costa arrives to be at his bedside. Waiting for the day he awakens.

Iris' life, and by extension, her dad's, had another big explosion in their lives in the months after Barry went into a coma. As the fact that he had been secretly spending time since College as a masked Luchador Wrestler was just mind boggling to the two of them! Making them wonder why the heck their Bear never said anything! El Hefe hadn't taken seeing Barry's prone form so well once he'd been brought to him at STAR Labs and had cursed up a storm. Causing Cisco Ramon to wince a lot as he knew exactly what the man was saying. After that, Hefe started making calls to let others know of what had happened with Barry and eventually promised Iris that he would send her some tapes of her Bear in action. Along with a little extra funds to help him out since the guy meant a lot to him and the others at New Aztec Wrestling.

She had tried to deny the funds bit but El Hefe would have none of it as he wanted the best for Barry. Iris and her dad would definitely be in for one wild ride once the tapes of Barry in action showed up! As while he hadn't been great at first when first starting out, he gradually improved over time. Of course she couldn't help but dislike his alter ego at NAW as he was something of a huge jerk! She also didn't like the green haired girl Bea for that matter either. Joe suspected it was jealousy on her part but wisely kept quiet on the matter. Barry's friend from Starling City, Felicity Smoak was even surprised by the fact her friend's a Wrestler as well. Even admitting that her friends back home was shocked by it too since they never would have thought that of the guy they had come to know in such a short amount of time. About two weeks after El Hefe had learned of what happened with Barry, the green haired Brazillian beauty known as Bea da Costa showed up and Iris was really feeling some green then! Though she certainly did her best to quash it down and thankfully was somewhat distracted by Eddie Thawne.

And ever since Bea had shown up, she hadn't left Barry's side all that much and could often be seen with a sad expression on her face. "Oh Barry..." Began the Brazillian native as she held on to his hand.

Wondering yet again for the 20th time if maybe she hadn't of chosen to leave, if maybe he wouldn't be in this mess. A line of thinking she knew was ridiculous as it would have likely happened anyway. This whole thing left her feeling even more regret for pretty much turning her back on him so long ago and not fighting more for him cause of her jealousy towards Iris West. Who seemed to be a fairly friendly person all things considered. Though Bea thought she may have detected a hint of jealousy from the other girl but she couldn't really find it in herself to care about it for the time being. "I never should have left you. I know I have said this before, but it is still none the less true and I can only hope to have a chance to make it all up to you once you awake." And she hoped it was sooner rather then later that he woke up.

As the longer he stayed in the coma, the more it seemed likely that he wouldn't wake up. And that was a thought that terrified her a great deal. Those who cared for him would be equally terrified as well and it would no doubt split his group at NAW even more then what it already was in the wake of his being placed in a coma. Not to mention causing his father, a good man in a wrongful place in life as far as she was concerned, would lose what hope he had left within him. Wiping away a stray tear, she let out a shuddery breath and leaned down to give him a light peck on the lips. Not realizing that a rather green Iris West had seen the whole thing from the outside of the doorway. Not that she even realized it was even happening as she stared at the green haired Brazillian beauty. "I love you." Could be softly heard.

Raising up, Iris watched as the woman grabbed for a magazine and then looked at Barry with a smile on her lips. "Let us see what Science has to tell us this day." Even if half of it was likely to go over her head!

Iris decided then and there to leave for the time being as she didn't want to feel like she was intruding more then what she already was.

Author's Notes: Had this sitting around on my laptop for awhile now and decided to finish it up instead of leaving it to gather dust so to speak.
