《The Flash Oneshots》Fixing Time

Advertisement

"So what, you are from the future?" Barry questions himself. Standing before him, in his old house where he is currently living, is a man who looks like him, only slightly older. "Why are you here then?" Barry questions confused. The old Wells got on to him many times for messing with time and he knows that the only reason his future self would interfere is if it was something drastic.

"Well I sort of messed something up," future Barry runs his hands through his hair, "and I'm back to fix it." Past Barry looks at his younger self deeply confused, "so you're saying I messed something up? Because if you need to fix something that happened in this time, right now, then it's me that..." Past Barry is cut off by a hard object connecting with his skull then everything is black.

"Damn, I was annoying," I whisper as I stare at my past self who I just knocked unconscious. "Come on Barry," I start as I pick up my feet, well his feet, and drag him to my old closet, "you chase after the wrong girl...you then preceded to tell that wrong girl your feelings all too late, and then you marry her after her fiancé dies because of you...and then you completely ignore the one right before you." Pushing my younger self into the fetal position I slam the door. "You may not realize it now, but I'm doing you a favor."

Past me just went into the speed force to save Wally and Caitlin is now Killer Frost. Running to S.T.A.R. Labs I begin an alternate timeline.

"Barry!" Iris says breathlessly as I appear next to her. She begins to go for a kiss but I step back, effectively dodging her kiss. "Aren't you supposed to be at the C.C.P.D.?" She asks furrowing her brows. She knows something is different. I easily set her mind on something else, Savitar. In the future I save Iris., that is definite, no matter my feeling nothing will ever happen to her. She will always be my first love. In one timeline we are married and another we are not, but I am still not with the women I love.

Leaving Iris to her thoughts I seek out Julian. Julian, becomes a close friend and a supporter of my feelings, in both timelines, he urged me to tell her. But neither timeline worked so here I am in the past hoping to fix what went wrong.

I can save Iris and get the girl.

"Julian," I announce my presence so as not to frighten him. Peering at something in front of him. "Barry," he answers mockingly. Smiling I remember a time even now that his snarling attitude sparked rage in me but now I'm as used it. "I need to find Caitlin."

Julian told me that Caitlin was exactly where I knew she would be, but there are some things that must be done in order to protect the timeline. Running up to the building I brace myself for what comes next.

Every time I see her my fast beating heart speeds up even more that I fear it will phase out of my chest. She is decked out in her Killer Frost attire. "Flash?" She questions with her back to me, "He told me that you would find me," she mocks knowing that in this timeline Barry Allen doesn't know who Savitar is. Taking a step closer to her she turns taking in my appearance. "No suit?" "I have to be the Flash to talk to you?" I ask. Thrown off a little I take the chance, "my time remnant might have you under his spell but let me tell you that it doesn't matter if you are Killer Frost or Caitlin Snow you always have me, just as you have me as The Flash and Barry Allen."

Shocked she asks "How do you know that?" "Savitar may know what Barry Allen is going to do but he doesn't know what this Barry Allen's future holds." Her blue eyes betray her shock, "you time traveled?? How many times have I-" she cuts herself off. Seeing the battle in her mind I place a comforting hand on her cheek. "I came to fix what I messed up." Resting my head on hers I whisper, "I came for you Caitlin. I came to make sure my past self didn't repeat my mistake. I came to ensure that you fall in love with me too."

"You love me?" She asks looking into my eyes. Remembering that her eyes are still icy blue she quickly shuts them. I gently move my finger along her cheeks begging her to open her eyes, "I love every part of you." Opening her eyes she pushes up on her tiptoes, pressing her perfect body on mine, she brings her cold lips to mine. For the first time in any timeline, I kiss the girl. Placing one hand at the dip in her back and another in her hair I pull her closer. Biting her lower lip begins the fight for dominance. Her hands go to my unruly hair pulling. I have to stop the kiss know that we have only a few minutes before Savitar returns.

"Don't go," she whispers still resting her head on mine with her eyes closed. Closing my eyes I hold on to this moment. She smells of fresh snow and hot coffee, her ice-cold skin mixing with my warmth creates the perfect balance, the feeling of my hands on her lower back, her waist, her hair, the feeling of her breasts going up and down with her every breath pressed to my chest. I don't want to go but I know that I must.

"I have to go. Savitar will be here soon," moving my hand to her chin a silently ask for her to open her eyes. "I need you to help me change our timeline. I need you to find Barry and let him help you, let him fall in love with you." With a smirk, she questions, "hasn't he already?" Not fighting the smile that forms I reply, "yes but he doesn't realize it yet and Iris-" I'm cut off by her lips on mine again. This time the kiss is clearly saying something it says your mine. She pulls back this time but her grip on me is much tighter than before. I feel ice start to form on my shirt but she stops it from landing on my skin. "Iris is nothing more than a friend to me now," I try to reassure her. "Maybe to you," she says jealously, "but to him, she is his fiancé," she spits the word. "Not for long because once he recognizes his feeling for you," I say burrowing my head into her neck, "he won't be able to forget." Holding back my tears I try to engrave her scent in my brain. "I need you to change the future. I need you to know that" looking into her eyes again, " I love Frost and Caitlin." "I will change the future." Pulling her into another kiss I use it as my goodbye knowing that I would never leave if I had to speak it aloud.

Running back to Joe's house I find my past self just waking up. "What the-!" He screams his attention rotating between me and his head. "," I command in a voice that shows the parts of me where Savitar was born, "you will do everything everything" I growl, "to help Caitlin. She is still Caitlin Snow and you will open your eyes when you look at Iris before you end up hurting two beautiful women."

My past self is looking at me with scared eyes but there is some understanding in them. "Do you understand", I demand. "Yes," he almost yells.

When running back to the future if my past self did his job I should go through every memory of Caitlin and I falling in love, if not, I will go back to my timeline the one where Iris is alive and married to the geeky new detective and I am alone.

Taking a deep breath I put back on my suit change the setting to time travel (a new setting added by Cisco in the future to help channel my energy) and take off. As I'm running I feel new memories.

Killer Frost coming into my lab and forcefully kissing me. 'Not what I was thinking but that works'. She begins telling me to get my head out of my ass and to go break things off with Iris and to help her control her powers.

Me breaking up with Iris, her crying, and me trying to comfort her.

Me thinking about Caitlin.

Telling Cisco about my feelings for Caitlin.

Telling Julien and him telling me to go get her.

Me working hours on end to create something so that Caitlin can control her powers.

Defeating Zoom. Iris kissing me with Caitlin present.

Confronting Caitlin and admitting my feelings. Giving her a bracelet with a nob much like the one I created for my suit to help direct my speed. Her bracket allows her to either turn her powers off completely or use them safely.

Our first date. We go to the beach and have a romantic picnic.

Our 2 year anniversary.

Then just like that, I'm back in my S.T.A.R. Labs. Running I go to where I left Caitlin when I first left. Stoping as she comes into view. There she is. Sitting just as I left her. With a deep breath, I push back the thoughts that it was all a lie that none of those memories were real, but as if she felt my presence she turns around.

She is dressed the same except now she has on the pendent I made her, she has it dangling in a charm bracelet. "Two years. It's worked for two whole years Barry Allen," she smiles before noticing my expression. "What's wrong?" She asks anxiously. "Are you hurt?" She runs her hands along my face, down my chest, my arms, hands examining everything looking for anything wrong.

I find my voice, "no I'm more than fine," I say pulling her face back up so I can see her brown eyes now lined in blue. She gasps remembering "you just time traveled!" "Yes," I whisper resting my head on her forehead, "and you changed the timeline," a tear falls. "You were quite stubborn." She smiles.
