Y/N and Barry managed to stay up on that rooftop all night long, they even watched the sunrise together, as they were watching the city slowly waking up Barry looked down at Y/N who was relaxing in his arms. He had to admit, he liked seeing her in her suit, then she began to stir.
"Morning," Y/N said looking up at Barry with a smile on her face. He could always make her feel better, even when she was down, the thought of Thawne still lingered in the back of her head.
"Morning," he said in his morning voice. God she loved that; if she had a list of things she loved most about Barry that would be number one. She gave him a quick kiss before snuggling her head back into his chest.
"As much as I love this, and you...I have to be at the station in five minutes," Barry said looking down at her. He didn't want to, but his day job beckoned.
"Fine," she said getting up, he could tell that she wasn't happy about it.
"Tell you what, I get off at noon today, meet me at the station and we'll go out to lunch...okay?" he said lifting her chin bringing her eyes to his.
"Okay," she said with a smile. He kissed her forehead before racing off to ensure that he wasn't late to work. Y/N stood there on the rooftop for a while until Cisco called her back to S.T.A.R. Labs.
"Y/N sped into the Cortex leaving skid marks near the entrance. She looked at Cisco as he spun around in his chair.
"You and Barry both do that...and neither of you ever clean it up," he said slightly annoyed, but Y/N could tell he had something else to tell her.

"You gonna keep complaining or tell me something useful?" Y/N asked raising a brow at Cisco.
"Yes, actually I do have something useful," he said spinning back around. Y/N walked up to him standing beside him as he typed away.
"When Thawne took those files he downloaded them onto something, those files are still linked however to the S.T.A.R. Labs satellite so when he opens then we can track it an-" Y/N cut him off.
"And figure out his location...that's genius Cisco," Y/N said.
"So...you and Barry got a lunch date today huh?" Cisco said looking up at her with a grin.
"You were listening?" Y/N said the anger in her voice was evident as she looked at Cisco with a stern look.
"If you didn't want me to listen you should have turned off your coms," he said defending his eavesdropping.
"Who's listening to who?" Caitlin asked walking in the lab.
"Cisco over here was listening to Barry and I's conversation this morning," Y/N turning her glare back to Cisco.
"Cisco! you said that after their rooftop conversation you would stop," Caitlin said as she darted the same glare toward Cisco.
"In my defense, their conversation this morning was still on that rooftop," Cisco said looking at both Caitlin and Y/N.
Y/N shook her head at him before speeding back to Barry's apartment to shower, change, and get ready for their date.
An hour later:
Barry had said noon, but Y/N decided to show up a few minutes early she passed Joe on the way in after walking out of the elevator.
"Hey Joe, is Barry up in his lab?" Y/N asked.
"Yeah, I think so, why?" Joe asked curiously.
"We're going out for lunch," Y/N said unable to control the smile growing on her face.

"Oh okay good, all Barry did today was talk about you," he said relaxing a bit.
All Y/N could do was smile as she headed up the stairs to Barry's lab.
"Hey Barry," Y/N said smiling as she went and sat on his desk next to him, "You ready to go?" she asked.
"Yeah just a sec," Barry said getting up from his chair and kissing her before walking off to put something away.
"Okay, ready to go," Barry said putting out his arm. Y/N got up and took it as they walked out of the lab and off to the restaurant.
After lunch:
Barry decided to walk through the park before heading to S.T.A.R. Labs with Y/N. As they were walking with their hands intertwined Barry asked,
"What's wrong," as he had noticed that Y/N seemed a little off during their date.
"Hm...nothing," she said with a smile that Barry could tell wasn't genuine.
"Something is definitely wrong," he said stopping and turning to face her, he took her hands in his, "I know you better than that Y/N."
"Just can't get the thought of Thawne out of my head," she said looking down and away from Barry.
Barry could tell that this was really bothering Y/N. He had an idea to take her mind off of the idea. He lifted her chin and brought her eyes to his and cupped her face in his hands, and then he kissed her, locking their lips together he could feel her begin to kiss back. Then they broke for air...
"Better?" he asked staring into her eyes, their foreheads touching.
"Better," Y/N said nodding her head with a smile. The two continued on their walk until their phones went off...
"Barry, Y/N there's a robbery at 3rd and Weston, reports of people turning angry on one another," Cisco said.
"Bivolo," Barry said before racing after his suit.
"Who?" Y/N said activating her ring and racing to the robbery.
"Don't look in his eyes," Barry said to Y/N while she was speeding to the crime.
"Why?" Y/N asked confused, she had just arrived, everyone was attacking each other. Y/N and Barry had successfully saved two people from shooting each other and saved one from a nasty fall off the balcony. After everyone had seemed to come off of their anger high Y/N went outside to find Barry.
"Who's Bivolo?" Y/N asked looking at Barry wondering why he was so concerned about her looking into his eyes.
"He's a meta that can induce rage, bad thing if it happens to a speedster," he said looking into her eyes to make sure she wasn't whammied.
"Barry...he was gone by the time I got here, I'm fine," she said putting her hands on his face to reassure him.

8 185Humanity's End
Given a year to prepare by the mysterious ‘system’ for contact with the wider galaxy, humanity must work to ensure the Earth’s defense is ready to meet any challenge. Sadly, most of the world seems dedicated to tearing itself apart as the year-end deadline gets closer. The west is in barely contained Chaos, while the east descends into internal conflict and war. The Pillar Forts, one of the few successful projects of the United Nations headed by the United States, stand ready to defend humanity against any invasion that may come through the strange Connection Pillars that appeared on each continent. Massive steel and stone walls that surround the Connection Pillars. They are filled with deadly men and women trained in all manner of warfare, each trained in the newly acquired System with skills and magical abilities that they put to deadly purpose. Beside these brave warriors, tanks, helicopters, artillery and more stand ready to defend humanity at each of these powerful installations. But, can they overcome the disparity in levels and experience between themselves and the forces that threaten them and the rest of humanity? Main Characters Jessica Brown- A young African American girl. Her 18th birthday in Detroit was the same day the systems message appeared. She discovered she was Level 7, much higher than most of the rest of the world. Why she is blessed, or cursed, with the power she doesn’t know. But what she does know is that she rather likes the feeling that comes with manipulating magic. The week after her birthday, government workers started testing every person in the US in a massive census effort of skills and abilities. Jessica Brown found herself conscripted into the US Magical Corp, a new branch of the US Military, and shipped off to a Pillar Fort. Somewhere hot and muggy in her ancestors’ home of Africa. As she grows stronger, she finds she has some connection to the pillars. While everyone else sees beauty or danger when they look at the pillars, after connection is made all Jessica can see is a Tree. A tree the size of the entire universe. Isaka Smith - is a third generation American and farmer who just wants to be left alone. But she is dragged into the situation by events beyond her control. When people in her small town had to deal with rioters and looters after the system announcement, she rallied them to defend themselves, earning her a trait that the government found extraordinarily useful. After a visit to a local reservation, she finds herself conscripted to lead one of the many small support towns erected around the great pillar forts. Not near her old home, but in far-flung Africa. John McIntire, the “Fighting Bull” -The commander of the African Fort, but because of circumstances beyond his ability to contend with shortly after taking command after being re-activated from retirement, he finds communication with his chain of command increasingly difficult. The US government, hell, even the United Nations, seems to have fallen into complete and utter chaos. The African Union is embroiled in a bitter civil war just outside his door, and supposedly, most of the world governments are in similar situations. Meanwhile, John must do his best to be ready to facilitate diplomacy, or to match the hostile argument of whatever force might come through the pillar of light when the year timer finishes counting down. Can our heros defend Earth from outside threats, while it tares itself apart? Or will they need to rebuild from the ground up? DEDICATION: This story is dedicated to my father who passed away recently. Jim Holloway, you’ll be missed you old silverback gorilla. Love you dad. Always have, always will.
