The season finale tonight was so good! I always knew that Eddie wouldn't end up being bad, despite his last name. They probably won't bring him back to life, but a girl can dream, right?

I heard a shot's echo all through the particle accelerator. I opened my eyes as Thawne (No! Eobard. Not Thawne. He's nothing like Eddie.) turned. I started to smile as two thoughts went through my head. One: I had stopped getting hit. Two: someone, probably the person who shot the gun, stopped the deranged Speedster in his tracks.

Then I turned my head to look at my savior, and I felt my smile shifted into an expression of pure horror.

Eddie, my Eddie, had his gun pointed towards his own chest, his blood already seeping through his shirt. I couldn't think, I couldn't even breathe! I ran towards him without thinking. I just needed him to live. My mind went to earlier that day.

Flashback

I stood in front on Gideon, looking at that stupid newspaper. My already shattered heart was being stomped on as I looked at the name Iris West-Allen. Anger grew inside of me; if Eobard had never shown this page to Eddie, then he would still want me.

I stayed for a few minutes before leaving. Once in the hall, I saw my ex-lover walk up to me with a Big Belly Burger takeout bag.

"Hey," he said as he held the bag out to me. "Hungry?"

I nodded, not sure what else to do. After all, he had made it perfectly clear he wouldn't fight the future for me.

"I was thinking," he began as we walked down the hallway, "A little over two months ago, I was dating this guy. He was a fitness instructor. I was supposed to meet him at some Italian place downtown for our fourth date, but he called me when I got there. Said he didn't think we would work out. I was heartbroken, but I still ate there. On my way home, I passed by a Big Belly Burger and saw my cute brunette coworker sitting all alone."

My eyes were beginning to mist over. "That was when you first asked me out."

He smiled tenderly and turned to face me. He held me face in his hands. "I don't know what the future is supposed to be like, and I don't care. Any time I spend with you makes me the happiest man alive. Screw the future! We'll make our own."

"We'll make our own," I repeated quietly. I could feel warm tears sliding down my cheeks. We kissed and held each other for a moment that I wished would never end.

End Flashback

"Eddie!" I yelled, tears once again making their tracks on my face.

He smiled as if he were looking at a blessing from Heaven itself. "Guess Eobard was wrong. I'm going to die a hero."

"You were always a hero. My hero." My voice began to cracked.

"And that's all I ever wanted," he said, "to be your hero." The light faded from his eyes. I kept yelling, urging him to come back to me, but I knew he wouldn't. The blonde had a look of happiness on his face, like my mom had before she died. Seeing him like that made me want to jump inside of the black hole to see if the pain I would feel would be as bad as what I felt right now.

I wanted to kill Joe when he dragged me away from my boyfriend's body. I understood we had to get away, but I didn't want to leave him down there.

The singularity spread to the sky above Central City. People were screaming and crying. I heard my friends talk about how to stop the black hole. I charged in when a plan was agreed upon. No matter what, I would save this city; the one that Eddie tried to keep safe with all of his heart. I would protect this world, even though mine was gone.


So, what did you think of this? Of the finale? Please comment.
