#if barry is gone and she's a single mother. assuming no other speedsters are around to help her. what the fuck else was she meant to do?
Text
the flash should have ended with barry quitting his job at ccpd to become a stay-at-home husband and that's on that
#the fun part is it genuinely could have ended like that. i have no idea. still haven't watched it#NOBODY TELL ME BTW#THAT IS NOT ME ASKING FOR SPOILERS. I'LL GET TO IT#but honestly it's the only thing that makes sense. i have genuine reasons for this#namely: how the fuck is iris. an incredible but ordinary non-speedster woman. meant to look after a baby speedster#ordinary babies are already making it their life's mission to die. eating shit they shouldn't. rolling over and suffocating.#idk i don't know about kids but i know babies are breakable and will roll off tables and god knows what else#now imagine you have a toddler and she can literally move at hundreds of miles per hour#how the fuck was iris meant to cope?#i still maintain that when they did the 'she put a power dampener in nora' plot it should have been like. not a control thing#but also yeah. literally a control thing because HOW THE FUCK ELSE WAS SHE MEANT TO LOOK AFTER HER BABY#if barry is gone and she's a single mother. assuming no other speedsters are around to help her. what the fuck else was she meant to do?#of course she had to suppress her powers because how can you stop your toddler running into traffic if she can run 1000 times faster than u#how do you keep her in her crib at night if she can phase through the bars?#in that sense. yeah it's fucked up. but you can understand it. you can empathize. what other options did she have?#so yeah stay-at-home dad barry is the only thing that makes sense for genuine safety reasons#he is quite literally the only one who can keep up with the kids#they dropped the ball on nora is all i'm saying. again. fic that lives in my head where original nora's death actually means something#and we get a new nora who is ACTUALLY a different person. as she would be considering her whole upbringing was different#and she has to somehow live up to the memory of a version of her that was erased from time#part of barry and iris can't accept that that specific version of their daughter is gone and it's not her#THE ANGST POTENTIALLLL#in my head she doesn't even go by nora because she's like. THAT'S NOT ME. SHE DIED. WHY CAN'T YOU ACCEPT WHO I AM AND LOVE ME FOR ME#she goes by dawn bc yeah im still kinda sad they didnt use that name#fictional characters give ur kid an original name instead of always naming them after dead ppl challenge#my fics#my meta

Harry Wells x Reader Imagine-(Extra 4)
Disclaimer: I don’t own the show, song or lyrics.
“We’re safe, you’re safe Jesse.” You watched as Harry hugged his daughter like the world was ending. Zoom was finally defeated. Both worlds were free of his wrath. It came at a price though. Even so, everything was actually going to be alright. When Harry was done having his moment he turned in your direction.
“Jesse, I’d like you to meet someone.” your back straightened as you walked towards them. “This is (Y/N). A dignified member of Team Flash, and someone who is very important to me.” you smiled, holding out your hand to shake hers. She took it happily, her face lighting up. You were shocked when she yanked you forward into a hug. “It’s really nice to meet you.” You patted her back.
“Y-Yeah you too. “ When you pulled away you stared at her. “You’re really beautiful.” you complimented. You could see her cheeks brightened as she played with her hair. “Thank you.”
Your eyes drifted from her to Harry. As much as you knew about him, he never really told you anything of his late wife. You assumed it was because he cared about her deeply, her dying must have shattered his world. Then soon after his daughter was taken. Harry experienced so much in his life.
Something else that dawned on you was that Harry would be going back home. The threat was gone, his daughter safe. He really had no reason to stay.
You weren’t sure if maybe he was thinking the same thing. Because he was now wearing a pretty solemn expression.
Joe and Barry came by your side and you got swept away when the dark skinned man hugged you to his chest. Barry wrapped his arms around Joe and you laughed as they kept you in a bear hug. You caught a glance of Harry who was wearing a smile, but his eyes looked so sad.
~~~
When the short celebrations were over, you finally got to spend a minute with Harry. You walked up, brushing a hand on his shoulder.
“Hey stranger. “ he took your hand, running his thumb over your knuckles.
“Hey to you.” you stepped closer, walking into his arms. He welcomed you, holding you closely. You inhaled deeply, loving his scent, the feel of his big arms covering you like a blanket. You always felt safe when you were with Harry. Which was funny since you were the one with superpowers. “It’s over.” Harry nodded. “Yes it is.” you grinned, lifting your head.
“How does it feel?”
“Not to have a psycho speedster trying to kill me? Very good I would say. “
“Always with the sarcasm, why did I expect any different.” you retorted.
He looked at you for a few seconds. “(Y/N).” you gulped, from his tone you knew where this was going. You buried your face into his clothing.
“I know, you don’t have to say it. When are you going back?” His hands ran through your hair.
“At the end of the week. I need to go back. There is so much I have to make up for, so much that needs to be fixed. It’s my responsibility to help. Too many people suffered because of me.” you understood. Right now Earth 2 needed Harrison Wells more than you. You couldn’t be selfish.
“I know Harry.” you held unto him tighter, enjoying what little time you could with him. Who knows how long it would take before he came back, if he came back. All you could do was hope.
~~
“Hey dad, I’m going to hang out with Wally.” Harry grumbled under his breath. Jesse just wore a smile. Her father was so overprotective, especially with what she’d just gone through. You watched their little interaction from your seat.
“Quit being a grump, tomorrow is Valentine’s Day. If you’re nice I may even think about getting you a rose. “
“That’s right!” you almost forgot. With all that was going on the last thing on your mind was celebrating. This was it. You were going to give Harry a Valentine’s Day he wouldn’t forget.
“Hey Jesse, can you come and help me with this thing I’ve been working on. Barry told me you have five majors, so I think you’re just the person for this job.” She looked more than happy.
“Sure I got a little time.” you walked over leading her out. Harry watched a bit suspiciously.
“Why didn’t she just ask me?” He continued looking down the hall, wondering what exactly it was you were working on that you couldn’t enlist him.
When you were out of earshot you took Jesse’s hand, causing her to turn back at you quizzically. “I was kind of lying about that whole project thing, I do need your help though. “
“Sure, what do you need?”
“Well, I know you and Harry are leaving soon, so I wanted to get Harry a really good gift for Valentine’s Day. But short of big belly burgers and expensive weapons, I have no idea what he likes. Do you have any ideas? “ You were looking at her expectantly. A soft look overtook her face.
“You really love him don’t you.” you stammered, face flaming up.
“W-What I-I never said that. W-We’ve only been dating for a few months I just-”
“It’s okay, I won’t say anything. “ Her reassurance made you relax a little. You looked down at your feet a bit self consciously. “I-I haven’t said it yet. He hasn’t either. And if i’m being honest I don’t really expect it this soon. I know how much he loved your mother, I-I can tell. I just..I want him to be happy. I want to make him happy.” you conveyed.
“Listen to me, my dad feels the same way about you trust me. He..he loved my mom and still does. But I can tell that he loves you too. I’ve been with him for years, through all that time I’ve never seen him smile so much. And I think that has something to do with you. All you have to do is tell him how you feel. That’ll be the best gift you could get him. “ your eyes felt like they were about to well up. You wiped at them with a laugh. “Gosh you Wells really know how to tug at my heartstrings. She gave a cute giggle. “What can I say, it’s in my blood.” She pulled you in for a hug.
“But really, thank you for opening his heart again.”
~The Next Day~
Iris walked in with a coffee in one hand and a small teddy bear in the other. When she caught sight of the scarlet speedster she almost sprinted over to him in excitement. She contained herself, watching the way his face glowed when he saw her.
“Hey Iris what brings you-Oh!” She wrapped her hands around his neck, pulling him down for a kiss. He was clearly surprised. When she pulled back she was smiling so wide her cheeks hurt.
“Happy Valentine’s Day Barry.” He looked down at the beautiful women in front of him, wondering how he’d gotten so lucky. “Happy Valentine’s Day Iris. “ when she pulled back she handed him the teddy bear that read “Be mine.” on its stomach. He took it gratefully. His smile matching her own. Caitlin and Cisco watched the scene from their seats.
“All right all right break it up! Some of us aren’t as fortunate.” he huffed munching down on chocolate.
“We could have a movie night Cisco. Just so you won’t feel as lonely. “ Caitlin offered.
“Sure, what’s more pathetic than two single scientists watching reruns as happy couples enjoy this beautiful day.” he commented. She gave him a comforting pat, going back to her work. Harry walked in, moving to his work space. Barry looked over when he saw the red wrapping poking out of his bag. “What you got there Harry?” he asked. Harry looked back, shoving the wrapping deeper into his bag as he tucked the bag under his desk.
“Nothing. “ he answered flatly. Barry smirked.
“Hey, where is (Y/N)?” Iris inquired. Harry pulled out his phone, checking to see if you left a text on your whereabouts. He didn’t see any.
“Maybe she got tired of Harry and ran away.” Cisco joked. Harry’s eyes hardened and Cisco could feel a chill run up his spine and the cold look.
“Does anyone feel cold, I feel cold. I-I’ll go and check the- y-yeah I’ll do that.” he rushed out the room and Caitlin shot Harry a disapproving look.
“He was asking for it Snow. “
“Still, be nice. It’s Valentine’s Day.”
“No promises.” he added. His eyes drifted to his computer, tapping his fingers against the table a bit impatiently. Iris noticed, nudging Barry.
“Maybe you should give (Y/N) a call. Do you think she forgot about today.” she whispered. He shook his head. “I don’t think so, she couldn’t stop talking about it yesterday.” he spoke just as softly. Barry’s head turned forward when the very person he was talking about walked in. Everyone stopped what they were doing when they saw you.
Harry looked pleasantly shocked at your attire.
Barry whistled with a laugh. Iris had to press a hand to her mouth to stop the shout of glee she almost released. You were decked down in a tuxedo, perfectly tailor for your body. Your hair was pulled down in a ponytail, wearing just a touch of makeup. You had a rose in your hand, a smirk on your lips. You walked over to the object of your affections. You stopped when you were standing directly in front of him.
“Harrison Wells, I would be honored if you would be my Valentine. “ you gave a deep bow. Cisco was at the back snapping pictures. Harry finally stood, he still looked at a complete loss for words. You raised, handing him the rose. He took it. “Today, don’t worry about a thing. I’ve taken care of everything. I have reserved dinner for both of us at precisely, 9 pm. The venue, my beautiful apartment of course. For the rest of your day, I’m at your service.”
Harrison was sure of it now, you were unlike any human being he’d ever met in his entire life. You took his hand, placing a kiss on the top of his hand. You looked back up at him.
“Come here often handsome.” you flirted. Cisco broke. He leaned over the desk laughing so hard tears came to his eyes. Caitlin was trying her hardest not to join in.
“Don’t mind him, he’s jealous.” you said. Harrison couldn’t remember ever feeling so damn blessed. Kissing you that day was the best thing he ever did, aside from having Jesse that is.
He played along. “I usually hang out here, but we should find somewhere a bit more private. I think my girlfriend would get a bit jealous if she saw you flirting with me. “ you giggled.
“We can’t have that. What girlfriend would leave such a delicious snack all alone.” Your eyes roved over his tall frame for good measure and he did the same to you. Enjoying the way the suit hugged your body. Even in such an outfit he could see your beautiful curves.
“Shall we?” you offered, stepping to the side as you gestured to the door.
“We shall.” he took your hand as the both of you walked out.
“Just when I thought I’d seen everything. I’m definitely using this as blackmail.” Cisco said tagging the photos he took.
~~
For the rest of the day you and Harry just enjoyed each others company. You walked through the park, watched a movie, even visited a museum. You knew how curious Harry was about the subtle differences on your earth, so you were more than happy to educate him on all that your earth had to offer. The sun had gone down a while ago. You checked your watch, realizing you had about an hour to get everything back at your house ready for Harry. You dropped him back off at Star Labs since he said he needed to get his bag.
“Hey, I just have a few things to take care of before nine, when I’m done I’ll give you a call and you can meet me at the apartment okay. “ He nodded. “That sounds great.” you gave him a quick kiss on the cheek.
“See you there!” you said rushing off.
When you got to your apartment you basically threw off your waistcoat. You started rummaging, setting up your table for the dinner you planned.
“Candles, food, music, wine! “ you were checking off your list. Your hands dug through the fridge, picking up the bottle of wine. You placed it on the table, satisfied with your layout.
“Kay, got ten minutes to change, need to hurry.” you ranted to yourself. You just wanted everything to be perfect.
~~~
A knock on your door alerted you that your guest was here. “It’s open!”
Harry twisted the knob, walking in. “You should be more careful. It could have been anyone at the door and..” his lecture stopped short when he saw you standing before him. He dropped the bag in his hand.
The room was dimly lit, the table set up so meticulously. You were now wearing a red dress that stopped just above your knees. It was dipped at the front, giving him a view of your cleavage. Your hair was in a loose bun, a few strands laying delicately on your face. You were wearing heels too. Black ones that complimented your dress. Your hands were tucked behind your back.
“Hi.” you said a bit nervously.
“(Y/N), you look...absolutely breathtaking.” you giggled.
“You don’t look too bad yourself. “
Harry was just admiring you, he couldn’t take his eyes off of you.
“Harry.” That snapped him from his daze. He looked you in the eye, giving you his full attention.
“I wanted today to be special. I’ve been meaning to say this to you for a while, but I never seem to work up the nerve. So, instead of saying how I feel, I thought I’d just..sing it for you.”
Your hand moved to your stereo and you twisted it in a motion, making the knob turn. A soft song filled the air and Harry just stood there as you started to sing.
Love
It's a special day
We should celebrate and appreciate
That you and me found something pretty neat
And I know some say this day is arbitrary
But it's a good excuse
That I love to use baby I know what to do baby I,
I will love you, I'll love you, I'll love you
Harry’s eyes wavered at the words that left your mouth. You continued, swaying a little.
Love
I don't need those things
I don't need no ring
I don't need anything
But you with me 'cause in your company
I feel happy oh so happy and complete
And it's a good excuse
That I love to use baby I know what to do baby I,
I will love you, I'll love you, I'll love you
Yeah it's a good excuse
That I love to use baby I know what to do baby I,
I will love you, I'll love you, I'll love you
He walked closer, and you were finding it a bit difficult to continue. You could see the tears forming in his eyes. Despite that he gave you the most heart warming smile.
So won't you be my honey bee giving me sweet kisses all the time
Be mine, be my
Valentine
So won't you be my honey bee giving me sweet kisses all the time
Be mine, be my
Valentine
Oh
Be my Valentine
The melody faded out as you finished. He took off his glasses, wiping at his eyes with the heel of his palm. He placed the spectacles right behind you on the table, bringing his attention back to you.
“Harry, I love you so much. These past few months you’ve made me feel so special, so loved. I know we all got off to a rough start, but I’m so thankful I met you. You’re the most amazing man I’ve ever met and I love you. So much.” you confessed. You finally said it. You stood there, heart pounding against your rib cage. He took your face in your hands, looking at you with so much raw emotion.
“Words can’t describe how much you mean to me (Y/N). If anyone should be grateful, it’s me. I love you with every fiber of my being. “ you chuckled, tears running down your cheeks.
“T-That’s good. This would have been awkward if you didn’t.” you joked. Harry laughed, kissing you. When he pulled away, he just looked at you.
“I’m coming back (Y/N). When I’m done with everything, I’ll come for you.” you sniffled. “Y-You promise.”
“I promise.” you smiled. That was it. You would wait for him. Even if it took years, you’d be right here when Harry got back. You found the one you wanted to spend your life with, and you would never let him go. Harry was everything you wanted, and you finally had it. You couldn’t have been happier.
