Chapter 5: STAR Labs Gets Awkward
Barry was looking down, that's how he didn't see who he ran into. "Sorry," he muttered. "Caitlin!" he said as he walked into the Cortex. Cold literally gasped, not loud enough for Barry to hear, but still. "What the hell happened to you, man?" Cisco said in shock.
"Hangover," he said. "Ever heard of talking quietly?" Cisco laughed. "REVENGE IS SWEET!!!" he yelled. Barry glared at him.
Caitlin laughed. "Want some help with that hangover?" Barry nodded. "Just one question, how did you even get drunk?"
Barry chuckled darkly. "When you really want to, you find a way. Also, Kara has an alien bar. You'd be surprised how many aliens have a super fast metabolism."
Cisco looked up. "Did you say, 'alien bar'?" Barry nodded. "Which Earth?" Barry chuckled. "38." Cisco literally jumped up and ran to his lab.
Caitlin was long gone, helping Barry with his hangover. Barry sat down, about to close his eyes, when he saw someone. No. It better not.
He ran over until he stood right in front of Cold, who looked a little scared.
"What. Are. You. Doing. Here?" Barry growled angrily. Cold recovered his normal coldness and the fear disappeared. "Well, after the bar, you missed work, so I went to your house to see why. You were asleep, so I waited, then you made a portal, so I came here to inquire about how you did that, and they told me about the 'multiverse'." Barry was going to talk to Cisco and Caitlin about that.
"Oh, and since I came with Lisa and Mick, they happily let me in. Lisa was kinda confused, but Cisco is probably going to take her to Earth-38, Mick didn't understand at all, so he left to Caitlin's disappointment."
"Well, get out. I don't want you here. What we had is over. It was a one-time thing, so leave me alone." Cold smirked. "We'll see about that."
Suddenly, Cold grabbed Barry's face and kissed him. Barry immediately kissed back, like a reflex.
Cold pulled back quickly. "Well, well, well. Looks like someone's still got the feels."
Barry felt light headed. Huh? What?
Len smirked. "Glad you enjoyed it."
Barry suddenly realized that he was staring at Len's lips. Len had quite the smirk. Barry blushed. "You have the same blush you did that night," Len said.
"Get out. Now," Barry said quietly. Len was still smirking. "What?" he asked. "GET OUT!!!!" Barry screamed at him. Len looked amazed. And scared. "Get out or I'll move you myself."
Len was just plain shocked. A minute ago, Barry had looked ready to go to bed. Now, he was screaming. What happened?
Len suddenly found himself at his hideout. Guess Barry really had meant that he would move Len himself. Len had never been rejected.
He was going to win Barry back no matter what it took.
...
Barry. Barry. Barry. That was all Len could think about. Sweet, considerate Barry, who he had hurt so bad that Barry literally blew off.
He knew that Barry still cared for him, the kiss was just proof.
How to get Barry to admit his feelings...
OMG. He was pining!!!! He never pined!!!! Ever!!!! Barry really was special. Now, how 'bout those feelings...
...
Barry was still reeling. Cold kissed him. And he kissed back!!! WHY DID HE KISS BACK!?!?!
...
Caitlin had seen the whole thing. She needed to know what had happened. She had heard Barry so many times in the STAR Labs shower (not that she listened...) that it was obvious that Barry had some feelings to deal with. Involving Snart. And she was going to help Barry, no matter what it took. Even if she had to record Snart saying it...
...
Caitlin was looking up Snart's hideouts behind Cisco and Barry's backs. That didn't last very long, 'cause Cisco walked in almost immediately. When he saw it, he looked at her weirdly. "Whatcha doing?" Caitlin knew she was busted, so she might as well admit to it. "I'm setting Barry up with Snart. Wanna help?" Cisco nodded. "Think I know someone else who will help too."
...
This was ridiculous. Snart was running in circles for the Flash. Of course, he was. He fell for the one person he wasn't supposed to. She was a hypocrite. Lisa was just really sick of listening to the showers. Could he not do it in a different safe house?
Suddenly, she heard a knock at the door. Cisco? Hopefully. Maybe he could give her the update? It was Cisco, and he did have an update. And a question.
"Can you help me and Caitlin set Len and Flash up?" Lisa nodded. "Those two seriously need to hook up. The sexual tension is shocking." Cisco frowned. "You're worse than your brother." Lisa laughed. There was no way that was true.
...
The first meeting of the ColdFlash (that was the name of their little team-up). "Ok, first we need to set them up. Or find out why Barry keeps rejecting Lenny." Lisa said. Caitlin nodded. "I'll work on the latter by making a bet with Barry and convince him to go on a blind date. Can you get Cold to come?" Lisa nodded. "All I need to do is say something to hurt his ego. He will never disagree after I tell him just how badly he's pinning for Barry." Cisco nodded. "Looks like we have a plan. I already have a plan." They all high-fived and left to continue they're part of the plan.
...
Cisco smirked. This was going to be too easy.
"Hey, Barry!" Cisco shouted. Barry turned to face him. "What's up?" he asked.
Cisco was no idiot. Anyone could see how little sleep Barry was getting. Hopefully, that would work in his favor.
...
"I bet you anything that the Viking's are gonna lose this game," Cisco said. Barry looked up. "No way! I will totally take that bet! There is no way their gonna lose!!"
They lost.
