Chapter 17
For the past few months we have been doing what we can to rebuild the city. School ended and finally September rolled around for the past months they rebuilt the schools and I got to just practice with Oliver and Diggle. I was in choir, band, and art, along with my 'core' classes. I still did show choir, gymnastics and boxing.
Oliver's phone began to ring and I grabbed it looking at the name 'Barry Allen'. I smirked and answered.
"Hey, Barry! Your awake." I say cheerfully, Oliver's head snaps up and starts moving towards me. I rush away and climb the closest support beam to scurry up out of Oliver's reach.
"Peyton, uh hey. I thought I was calling Oliver?" He questioned. I laughed at both Barry and Oliver who was still chasing me trying to get his phone back.
"Yeah, answered it for him and now running away from him." I balence on a metal beam and doing a flip making Oliver tense. "So your awake?"
"Yeah, woke up a few days ago, things have been a little crazy since I woke up. How are you guys?"
"Eh, kinda boring, Ollie won't let me out onto the streets after the whole army of super soldiers fighting everyone, and I didn't listen and stay inside but went out and helped people. Oliver's mom was killed by Slade Wilson which is always a little touchy subject. Didn't really have a chance to know her before she went to prison and she died like a month after that so." I shrug and continue to do flips and Oliver glared at me. "Oliver, I am immune to death glares." I taunt.
"Wow, tha-that's a lot of stuff. Can I talk to Oliver?" He asks.
"Yeah, one minute." I say looking at Oliver and dropping the phone into his hands. Oliver mouths at me 'we will talk about this later.' And I shrug again before going onto my nest that I've since moved.
Oliver finished talking with Barry and then climbed up on the table nearest to me and jumped grabbing onto the support beam next to me and he pulled himself up.
"Barry is on his way here." He tells me.
"Going on a date?" I tease.
"Peyton, I don't like Barry." He says looking at me dead in the face.
"Sure you don't." I smirk. "You don't smile every time his name is mentioned, you don't visit him in the hospital or STARR Labs every two weeks just to make sure he's okay." I tease him.
"You didn't say you didn't like boys just that you didn't like Barry." I point out pokeing him with my foot.
"Because I'm pan." He says confirming my suspicions.
"Then why don't you just ask. It won't hurt anything." I say.
He glares at me before dropping down onto the floor and suiting up and heading outside to meet Barry.
A week later Oliver is dressed up in a suit and a tie. I smirk and go back to doing my homework. When Oliver finally comes back later that night he is smiling and just extremely happy.
"Good date with Barry?"
"Shush, why aren't you in bed it's like 11 and a school night?"
"Uh, because I wanted to see you when you got back from your date and there is no school tomorrow. Teacher inservice." I say looking at him.
"Peyton, go to bed." Oliver demands pointing the way to my room.
"Not until you admit you had a date with Barry Allen." I look at him.
"Fine we had a nice date. Okay, now go to bed." He says pulling me up from the couch and shoving me towards my door.
"Fine. But we are talking in length in the morning."
"No we won't. I'm your father and what I say goes. Now bed." I grumble and go to sleep in my room.
The next morning Oliver wouldn't talk about his date with Barry. Thea was still gone and Felicity was looking for her. I could tell that over the next few weeks that Oliver and Barry are completely and utterly dating. Oliver is happier and smiling a little more but can still be an asshole. We went to Central City and helped Barry who turned out to be the Flash. Oliver shot Barry in the back with arrows.
Barry got whammied and Oliver helped snap him out of it. I stayed with Felicity and Diggle for that night, Oliver and Barry went out on a date and I have no idea what they did. And I don't want to know.
We went home and worked with dealing with finding the person that killed Sara. I started to text Barry about the fact that he is dating my dad.
Peyton: I know who you're dating
Barry: I'm not dating anyone, Peyton
Peyton: Try again, I know that you are dating my dad
Barry: I'm not???
Peyton: Dude, it's okay. I ship you
Barry: Ship us?
Peyton: Your relation(ship) :)
Barry: Oh. Are you sure that you're okay with me dating your dad?
Peyton: Definitely, You need to come over. We need to talk
Barry: Fine. I'm leaving in 30 minutes
Peyton: See you in hour, pizza will be waiting
Barry: Yeah, food!
I smiled and ordered 7 pizzas, 5 for Barry and one for me and one of Oliver. Then the doorbell rang 5 minutes before Barry should get there, Oliver got up to answer. He payed for the pizzas and set them on the table.
"Peyton, why did you order 7 pizzas?"
"5 for Barry who should be here any minute know, One for you and one for me." I state and look for my pizza. I pass Oliver's cheese pizza and start to eat my Hawaiian pizza. The doorbell rings and I run up and greet Barry.
"Get your ass in here." I say.
"Peyton, language." Oliver reprimands. He looks over and sees Barry. His face changes instantly. "Hey Barry. What are you doing here?"
"Dude, I know." I say sitting, Barry sits next to Oliver and grabs a pizza.
"Know what?" Oliver almost starts to choke on his pizza.
"Ollie, she knows we're dating." He grabs my dad's hand and squeezes it before speed eating a bunch of food. "Food first." He kisses Oliver's cheek who is still kinda in shock.
"Peyton, how?" He asks.
"You disappear and come back looking really happy. You smile whenever Barry's name in mentioned. Not that hard to figure out." I shrug and take another bit of pineapple and ham pizza.
"Okay," Oliver says eating some pizza.
"I'm going to steal Barry for like 5 minutes, have fun Dad." I say grabbing Barry's hand and dragging him to the terris. "How long?"
"Since I woke up."
"Do you love him?" I ask getting all the hard questions out of the way.
"Yes, but I know that Oliver isn't going to love me as much as he loves you and Thea." Barry says.
"I know he loves you. And he loves you in a different what than he loves me. He loves me like a daughter and he loves you like the most perfect person in the world. Trust me I know what I see in my dad's eyes. Just so you know if you hurt him, I will hurt you even worse. You can't stop me, Flash." I threaten.
"I won't." He gives me a hug. I look inside and see Oliver watching us. "Let's go back inside, it's cold out here." I laugh and we walk inside. Barry walks over and gives Oliver a kiss.
"We are watching a movie. Get your buts onto the couch and we can watch something together." I say. Barry sighs and pulls Oliver onto the couch before snuggling up next to him. I put the movie in and started some popcorn. Barry and Oliver talking softly as the previews played on the screen. I took a picture of them being really cute and saved it for their wedding.
I brought the popcorn over and sat on the bean bag that I got since I don't really like sitting on chairs and after a while the floor gets hard. Barry grabbed a handful of popcorn and ate as we watched Ice Age. Throughout the movie Barry and Oliver stole kisses from one another. The movie finished and I walked back to my room. I am so glad that my room is at the other end of the apartment.
Morning came and I got up early like usual and moved down to the kitchen. I walked in and found Oliver and Barry cooking. More like Oliver cooking and Barry passing him things and kissing him every few ingredients.
"Good morning Peyton." Barry chirps.
"Hi Dad. Hi Barry." I say sitting at the stool for the counter. Oliver passed me a plate of pancakes and bacon. I ate and then handed my plate to Barry who was speed washing the dishes and left for school.
After a month of two Barry moved in. He said that it was easier if he moves to Star than for us to move to Central. I'm still the only one that knows about them dating. Barry has an apartment in Central that he stays in quite often just so that Joe or Iris don't get too suspicious.
"Peyton?" My dad says coming up next to me doing my homework on the floor of the apartment. I had just gotten home from gymnastics. Thea came home and she paid for my lessons. She had the apartment next to us. Somehow she hasn't talked about the face that Barry is here constantly.
"Yea? What's up?"
"Do you like Barry?" He looks almost nervous.
"Yes? Why wouldn't I?"
"I don't know. Would you be okay with me proposing to him?" He plays with a lose sting on his shirt.
"What?! Really?" He looks up surprised.
"You're okay with it?"
"Dad, Barry has already surpassed my expectations for anyone worthy of you. Barry is a lot better than my last step-dad and I know that he never will be like him." I say grabbing my dad's hands. "You love Barry, Barry loves you. Why would I have a problem with that?" He looks at me and smiles.
"Thanks. Finish you homework and let's go to the Foundry." He says standing.
"Make food." I demand. He agrees.
