Thread: RP: The Flash: All I Need Is You (greenandgold x Dairypie)

Iris let herself into S.T.A.R. Labs using her key that Barry had made for her after she had found out that he was The Flash. It was 10PM on a Tuesday night, and the young woman had been at the apartment for the last few hours, just thinking, and sad, after getting a phone call. It had been two months since Barry had gone into the Speed Force to save the world. And the phone call that she had gotten 4 hours ago, had thrown her off balance. She had been feeling off for a while now, but had attributed it to the stress surrounding her possible death that had been seen in the future. But she hadn't died, and Savitar had. And now Barry, her Barry, was in the Speed Force, and was never going to know the amazing and sad news that she had found out. Iris wiped her eyes which had teared up, and she keyed in the security code to S.T.A.R. Labs. Letting herself in, the young woman locked the door behind herself and as she caressed her engagement ring on her finger, walked around the building, wondering if anyone was there. She had come here to be close to Barry, but to also see if Cisco was around. She needed to talk, and Iris knew that she was in no shape to talk to her father or Wally right now. And since Barry's absence, she had become closer to Cisco who was Barry's best friend. Cisco? Are you here? Iris asked as she checked out the cortex, then the medical bay, followed by the pipeline. Oh, hey. She said startled a few minutes later, upon seeing Cisco, on her return to the cortex, after checking the pipeline. Can we talk? The young woman asked her friend, and tried to give him a smile, but she wasn't sure her lips were cooperating. I need someone to talk to and my father isn't ready to hear what I have to say. At least not yet.

Two months had passed, and it felt more like years. Life seemed to oddly enough move slower with one less speedster. Or maybe that was just how it felt, with everyone, including Cisco, hard to rally. Cisco wasn't going to complain and he never did. He kind of enjoyed helping Wally, actually out in the field for once. And Iris was pretty good at holding down the mikes with Julian when they needed her. They made a good team, a worn down one, but a team nonetheless. It got easier day by day, they all seemed to be healing at their own pace. And Cisco, tried his best to lead. That was the hardest, because he found himself suddenly lost without his two best friends in the entire world, the ones he started this with. It stung. So he spent his time at the lab, like 85 of it. It was easier that way. He was able to keep an eye on his data coming in, in case there was ever any spikes from the speed force or extreme temperature dips. He worked on upgrading Wally's suit every day and even his own gear, it was a way to pass the time. And sometimes, maybe, he would sleep, but that was a rare occurrence. He also spent time with Iris when she asked him too. Cisco had learned well how to comfort a grieving woman. He would stay with her in the beginning at her apartment, and he was just as thankful for her comfort to not be so alone. Cisco was returning from the depths of S.T.A.R. Labs, his arms filled with bits of things he was tinkering with. When the lab was empty, he liked to work by the computers, just incase. he laid them up at the table and turned when he heard Iris' voice. He frowned. Hey, You usually don't visit this late he replied, his eye brows furrowing at her statement. You can always talk to me. You know that. I'm guessing from the look on your face and tone of voice, its nothing good. Cisco raised an eyebrow. Now you really have me concerned Iris, what can't you tell Joe?

Usually, this would be one of the easiest things in the world for me to say. But with how things are now, I can barely bring myself to believe it, much less say it. Iris wiped her eyes that had finally released the tears she had been holding in for hours, as she said it. I'm pregnant, She said the words softly, still having trouble believing it was true. I'd been feeling off for awhile now, and I decided last week to see a doctor and they ran a full battery of tests. I got the call 4 hours ago, and I didn't know what to do. I didn't know who to talk to. Telling my father something like this after losing Barry to the Speed Force, it would be too much for him. While I know that waiting won't make it any easier, I don't know what else to do. And since you're Barry's best friend and one of my closest friends, I figured that we could talk. We've all been struggling since he left. And I want to thank you for being such a good friend all this time. Not just to me, but to Barry, too. You've had his back since the very beginning, and I appreciate it, more than you'll ever know. I know that Barry did, too. Iris told him. And I know you're struggling with both Barry and Caitlin gone. I know they were both your best friend's. And if you ever wanna talk, let me know. I'm happy to listen. She laughed sadly. I just keep thinking that there has to be a way to get Caitlin back. It's just wrong, knowing that she's out there, but it's not really her. And with Barry gone, Caitlin's absence just feels worse somehow, if that makes any sense. Iris sighed softly. I'm sorry. I'm talking too much. I've been doing that a lot lately. I'm gonna stop talking now, so that you can talk.

Cisco instinctively went to her seeing her beginning to tear up. He had the box of tissues already in his hands. They all cried sometimes, it was just easier to have one handy. She was rambling, something else he had grown used to. When she was thinking about Barry, her words would move quickly and fall out onto the floor. Cisco learned early on to let her get it all out before even trying to talk. Cisco's eyes went wide at her admission. Pregnant. He had so many questions, like could the baby have meta powers? He focused back on her, he nodded slowly, in quiet understanding. He reached out a hand and placed it on her arms. His jaw tightened at the mention of Caitlin. He knew exactly what she meant, and that was why he avoided the subject all together. He figured pushing it to the depths of his mind was easier, then dealing with the idea that this time she was gone for good. First, I'm going to say congratulations, because that's what you say when you find out your friends are pregnant. And I know, Barry would be over the moon. he said, smiling slightly. This just means we'll have to redouble our efforts into the speed force project, and bring him home. I promised him I would look after you but, i didn't ever promise to help raise a child. He said, trying to make a joke. We're a team, we can figure this out together. Cisco said, handing her the tissues. And we might want to run some tests for meta DNA in the future, since this is kind of a new feat in science and all. I honestly thought you are Barry were the beyond careful types when it came to protection. Cisco moved to the computer typing a few things in, making notes for himself. It was silent for awhile. She still checks her texts and her voicemail he said finally. Caitlin, I mean. Cisco looked over to Iris. If she wanted to come back and help us through this, she would have.
Thread: RP: The Flash: All I Need Is You (greenandgold x Dairypie)

Thanks, Iris said softly, accepting the tissues when Cisco held the box out for her to take some. She took a few tissues and wiped her eyes, just holding onto the tissues as they stood there. The young woman smiled at her friend, though it didn't reach her eyes, when he touched her arms. She saw his expression when she mentioned Caitlin, and knew it was a sore subject. His words had a genuine smile turn up her lips. Thanks Cisco, She told him. The sight of his smile, made hers widen a little. The action felt foreign to her, as it had been two months since any of them had truly smiled. She laughed and the sound was off in the large room. Smiles and laughter had been missing from their lives for some time now, and it already felt far too long. Whatever you need for the Speed Force project, just let me know and I'll get it or do it. If you need supplies picked up, or information looked up or tracked down, I'll do it. I might not be able to do any of the actual science, but there has to be a way that I can help somehow. Iris sighed softly. I feel selfish for wanting Barry to come back, She admitted. While I would never want anything to happen to Wally or Jay, I just can't help but wonder why Barry's always the one who has to make the sacrifices. As for using protection, we did. But one of the condoms broke. Barry and I were always careful. The young woman ran a hand over her face. You know, maybe this is all just some cosmic sign telling me that I shouldn't let myself get too close to anyone. That I shouldn't let myself develop feelings for anyone and fall in love with them. I mean, first Eddie, and now Barry. I don't understand why the people I love always leave or die. My mother left, and then she came back, but died. Eddie died, and now Barry's gone. Maybe we should stop spending time together, Iris said and then moved away from the computers and over to the trash, tossing her tissues into it. The people I get close to, things never end well for them. And I don't want that to happen to you. I'm sorry for coming here and dumping this on you. You didn't deserve that. I'm sure you already have enough going on without me adding to the things you have on your mind, or me interrupting anything that you're working on. I'll just let myself out using the back way again. Iris said and a few moments later, she turned and started to leave the room.

You are always considered a good helper, sometimes its nice to have someone with investigation skills rather than just another scientist. You see things differently. Cisco paused in his typing to look up at her. He sighed, not this tangent again. He always hated when she started thinking she wasn't worthy of love. He had a sinking feeling this was only going to get worse as she got more pregnant. Cisco watched her carefully. If I was so worried about dying, I wouldn't still be working at S.T.A.R. Labs. If anything was going to kill me, its going to be this place, not you. Maybe we should stop having this place be our home base. And honestly, I wish we would stop loosing people we all love about. he said slowly and maybe he secretly had a death wish, but he wouldn't voice that to her. I could kill any of you at any moment, if i'm not careful with my powers or even guiding Wally. Or tech could explode again. That never stopped us before and it shouldn't now. Barry wouldn't want that. He wants you to be happy. Iris, we promised to stand by each other through this. We need each other, and I know I don't always tell you everything you want to know about what I am thinking. But I would like your help. He looked up as she started to go. Do you want to help me go through some articles gathered from the multiverse? he offered, trying to get her mind from the dark hole that was missing Barry.
Thread: RP: The Flash: All I Need Is You (greenandgold x Dairypie)

Iris paused where she was, at Cisco's words. Then she shook her head. You wouldn't kill me. I'm not afraid of you. You just don't have that kind of anger or hate inside of you. You're too good a person. As for the tech exploding, that was just an accident. No one could predict that that was going to happen. The young woman stopped speaking and continued to listen as her friend kept speaking. I know that Barry wouldn't want us to give up. It's just so hard.. She said softly. Being here every day reminds me of him, and on the one hand I'm grateful for it. But on the other hand, it hurts so much. I keep thinking that Barry's just gonna speed into the room any minute now, and make some kind of quip about a bad guy or his speed, but it never happens. And it's hard to deal with. You can't tell me that you don't feel his absence in everything we do. As for changing the home base, let's not do that. Barry wanted us here, so we'll stay here. As for Wally, he can take care of himself. While I hate it when he puts himself in danger, I know that he's doing it for someone elses own good. And while I can't stand it, at least it's happening for the right reasons. Cisco asked if she wanted to help him go through articles that he had gathered on the multiverse, and after a moment of hesitation, Iris nodded. Sure, just tell me what we're looking for. A few moments later, the young woman walked around the table and took a seat behind the computer's with him, and grabbed a paper and pen so that she could start taking down some notes. The two of them spent the next several hours going through the papers and the information. Iris had started reading all the papers Cisco gave her and took down notes on anything that seemed important. Eventually, Iris rested her head on the desk and set aside the pen and paper that she had been using to jot down notes. She had planned to take a short break for a few minutes, before continuing going through the papers. It was only a few moments, before her eyes closed and she fell asleep.

Cisco was glad she sat beside him and took the offered stack of papers. It diffused the rising tension in the air between them. Of course he missed his best friend, they were inseparable he thought. And now, he's just vanished into thin air. I'm looking for any mention of the speed force, any little thing could be useful he said slowly. I haven't given up on getting him back Iris. I miss him, I do. Why do you think I stay so busy and work all hours of the day? It's my way of coping with grief. Staying here, at least makes it feel more like the old times, when we were the three of us. Iris was helpful, it made the work go by quicker. She was able to just scan mass quantities and he was then able to comb through whatever she marked as important to pull out anything useful to dive deeper into. It wasn't much, but it was a small start up the large mountain ahead of them. He glanced over to find her asleep on the desk. It was a little after 2 AM. Cisco sighed, getting to his feet. He didn't wake her, but draped a jacket over her. He would let her rest some before waking her up to take her back to the apartment. He leaded back in his chair, looking over the next piece of research. Iris really didn't need more on her shoulders, and he knew that's why he wouldn't talk to her much beyond the surface of his own pain. Especially now, with her being pregnant. And with their lack of an actual doctor. Julian wasn't the same as having Caitlin. It was getting harder and harder to not give up. He felt his own eyes drooping closed and soon he was also asleep at the desk, his arms crossed over his chest.

The next time Iris opened her eyes, she yawned softly and stretched to get the kinks out of her neck and back from sleeping on the desk and in the chair. She glanced down at the watch on her wrist and saw that it read 4 am. The young woman got up from the chair and walked around the cortex, powering down all of the computers and any other machines that were on. After a few moments, she walked over to Cisco and placed a hand on one of his shoulders, and shook him gently. Cisco, wake up. It's Iris. It's late. We should get up and go home. Get some rest. When he opened his eyes and met hers, she gave him a small smile. If you're too tired, we can both just sleep in the medical bay. There's two beds in there and we don't have to worry about driving. I can go and pick up some clothes for both of us in a few hours, when I leave to go back to the apartment and shower, before I go to work. Come on. Iris said softly, and she helped him up, knowing that Cisco was still tired. They both were. The young woman turned off all the lights as they walked to the medical bay and moved to lie down on both of the beds. After getting a few extra blankets out of the hall closet, and covering Cisco with a few of them, she laid down on the other bed and covered herself. Her purse was on the table next to the bed and it had a gun it in that was registered to her. She had gotten a gun at her father's urging when she was growing up, but had given it to him, once she'd started dating Eddie and Barry and had moved in with them. But once Barry had left to go into the Speed Force, her father had given it back to her, and she kept it close by for protection. A few moments later, her eyes closed once more as she fell back asleep.

Cisco almost bolted upright when she tried to wake him, but his body was too exhausted for the energy needed. So the response was more confused mumbled, with a slight jolt of attempting to get up. He finally opened his eyes, more like squinting, at her, he nodded. They should get some rest in actual beds, sleeping in chairs only made the lack of sleep worse. He nodded at the mention of the medical bay beds. He usually used the couch in one of the other sections but the beds were far closer. Cisco let her help him up and they used each other to make the trek to the beds. He collapsed onto one, his eyes closing again. I keep extra clothes here, just in case he mumbled. But coffee, we'll need that tomorrow. He rolled to his side. Thank you Iris, for staying. He let sleep take him under again, not trying to fight it anymore. He might regret it in the morning but for now, he appreciated the warm embrace of sleep. The lab would stay quiet most of the night, the hum of some equipment to help them sleep. It is kind of peaceful at night, like a world away from the rest, despite the hard memories here. And will all the alarms and security newly added, they could rest in somewhat comfort, at least for awhile anyways. And like clockwork, Cisco was confronted again with the nightmares and the vibes. He wasn't really sure anymore which was which. Sometimes, he would think maybe he was vibing Barry, but no, it would be some other Barry or just a dream. He would constantly relive the night his friends left, and the evenings that followed. In the beginning he would wake up, hoping it was all just a dream, but it never was. The headaches were coming back, and things were getting harder to not control, but to be useful. Despite trying to see if he could reach the speed force, he never could. He could only ever see Caitlin. And so, Cisco was awaken by his dreams at 730 AM. But hey, that was the most sleep he had gotten in three days, a new record since everything fell apart.
Thread: RP: The Flash: All I Need Is You (greenandgold x Dairypie)

You were talking in your sleep, Iris said softly, and rolled over onto her side, when Cisco woke up and opened his eyes at 730 that morning. It's not a complaint. I just thought you should know. You were talking to Barry and Caitlin in your sleep, She told him. And as for this morning, you don't ever have to thank me for staying. We're friends and that's what I'm here for. Besides, you've gone above and beyond the call of duty as a friend for me and Barry, since we met. So, it was past time that I repaid you. What kind of coffee are you feeling like this morning? I'm gonna head to the apartment, shower, and pick up breakfast for everyone, before I leave for work. Oh, and uh.. Can we keep the news about the baby between us for now? I've gotta figure out the best time to tell my father and Wally. My father's gonna take it hard. He's been wanting Barry and I to get together since we were teenagers. And now that we have and now Barry's gone, it's gonna be a tough pill for him to swallow. Iris sighed and moved to get up from the bed. If you need a friend or company at night, or just don't want to be alone, don't hesitate to call me. I'll be back in about two hours. Gonna grab that shower and change of clothes, then get breakfast and leave for work. I always have my cell phone if you or anyone else needs anything. I'll see you tonight when I'm off of work. If you need something during the day, leave a message and I'll get back to you ASAP. Oh, and Cisco? Thanks for last night. I don't handle being alone at night well, and I know that last night was probably more for my benefit than yours. So, thank you. After speaking, she grabbed her phone and slipped her shoes on, before leaving S.T.A.R. Labs.

Cisco sat up, rubbing his eyes. He ran a hand through his hair. He closed his eyes and breathed in deeply. I had figured that had stopped. Sorry if I woke you he said thoguhtfully. He sighed, getting off the bed. He stretched his arms and adjusted his neck. I like the sweet stuff usually, and an extra shot of espresso. Cisco turned when she asked him to keep quiet about the baby. It's not my news to tell, I'm used to keeping secrets for all of you from each other. he replied, shaking his head. His hand tightened. You just keep me updated on how you are feeling because...Barry has different DNA and i don't know how it will affect you. Ill call if I find anything he promised. You know I am more then happy to come sleep on your couch. He smiled a little bit at her at her offer for him to call whenever he needed her. Maybe one day, he would take her up on that offer and let her in. We just need to make sure we both take care of ourselves sometimes. Have a good day at work, feel free to come back here on your lunch break if you need too. Cisco sighed, going to his secret stash of clothing, getting changed and freshened up. He started up the computers, settling in to continue the research and figure out the next step. People came and went through out the day. He spoke to Julian briefly about his new findings to which the other man only shrugged. Julian sometimes seemed to be off in his own world, just like Cisco.
