Chapter 5: The Girl Who (Secretly) Saved Central City

Episode Tag: The Man Who Saved Central City

A/N: Sorry about the really long wait between updates, our DVR ate the first episode of Season 2 and at least the 2nd episode was cut off by a baseball game when the Cubs were in the play offs. So because of that, me and mother had to watch at least 2 episodes pirated. Though, I got all the spoilers thanks to Tumblr and various fanfics. I really don't know how long this is going to take, but I hope it isn't too long. As I still need to catch up, which is my priority besides new episodes of Lab Rats: Elite Force, Girl Meets World, and Liv and Maddie. I can wait to watch Luke Cage since it's on netflix and Iron Fist doesn't come out until March. Plus we don't have Netflix right now because the payment didn't go though which is a long and unimportant story.

Though, I'm really, really busy with school right now, especially creative writing. We have a packet with prompts for the assignment of having a portfolio with our writing that is due at the end of the semester. That means that I have to write maybe 51 to 52 1 or two page (typed) assignments plus 4 to 5 free choice assignments. I have no idea if he's going make that our final or have a written one, and I don't want to know. I almost regret taking that class because my brain keeps breaking. But my teacher is awesome. So yeah, here's the next chapter.

Breana had been staying with Joe since she couldn't live in STAR Labs permanently. Since Iris had moved out, it hadn't been much of a stretch, and Barry liked her, so it wasn't that bad. Plus, she couldn't just live out on the streets. That, or Barry didn't want her to. Joe thought that she made Barry a little less angsty and balanced him out, but he was still struggling after what had happen inside the singularity.

Breana stood in the central cortex with Barry, watching him as he left on his daily run. He had more energy to burn than she did because of the nature of his powers. She didn't know why he brought her there if he was just going to leave. Breana sighed, looking at her phone. She clicked on the news banner even though she knew he shouldn't. It had been six months since she helped Barry, Ronnie and Professor Stein save Central City. She wanted Barry to go to the rally even if she didn't have a secret identity yet. She still had the hoodie that Ronnie gave gave her. Caitlin had let her keep it because she would have been left with plenty, and the red suited her.

Six Months Ago:

Breana heard everything over Barry's com because of her increasingly closer proximity to Barry. "Isn't there another way?" She whispered loudly into Barry's ear so he could hear her over the roaring wind. Of course there wasn't. She ran out of the singularity with Barry, watching as Ronnie and Professor Stein became Firestorm before they flew inside the singularity. She sighed, biting her lip nervously. She didn't want Caitlin to become a widow on the first day of being married to Ronnie because that would be one of the worst things to ever happen to someone.

The Present:

"Barry, I really think that you should go." Breana had found the crumpled up 'Flash Day' poster in Barry's pants pocket while doing their darks. Joe liked to joke that she was more helpful than Barry.

Even if Barry didn't go to Flash Day, she still went, with Ronnie's hoodie in her purse just in case. She'd went with Joe and Cisco since she didn't have a car. The Mayor had a really nice speech. Even Breana was surprised that Barry showed up, but of course she was glad he did when someone tried to kill the Mayor.

When Cisco's weapon didn't work, Breana used her speed to put Ronnie's hoodie on before running in front of Barry. Barry couldn't yell her name because she didn't have a super hero name yet, but he wanted to. Breana managed to distract the guy, using her teleportation to confuse him.

Breana definitely agreed with Iris on the fact that Barry shouldn't work alone. Both Iris and Joe agreed that she would be the better choice to talk to him. Breana knew that she would find Barry in his office at the police station. She stood on her tip toes, creeping towards him. She reached on and rubbed his shoulders. Barry jumped, turning his head. "Oh-uh- hey." He looked up at her. "What are you doing here?" Breana raised an eyebrow. "You really don't know?"

Barry gave her a look. Breana sighed. "You can't work alone Barry. At the very least, I can work with you." Barry made a noise that sounded like a cross between a snort and a scoff. He stood up, looking into her eyes as he towered over her. "I can't lose you, Breana." Breana blushed deeply. "Well, I can't lose you either."

Barry made the first move. He wrapped his arms around her waist, looking into her green eyes as they both leaned in. His lips met hers as her eyes widened. That was new. Kissing Barry was so much different than kissing Marcus. She kissed back, and it was over all too soon. Barry pulled away, embarrassed. "I'm sorry. I shouldn't have done that when I know about you and Marcus." He stammered. "It's ok." Breana whispered, lost in his eyes. Barry kissed her again, and that was it. She was sold.

So that happened. Even after what happened at the precinct, Barry still went off and tried to get himself killed. Breana gave him such a chewing out, it was so not funny. Things were pretty awkward between them for a few days, so of course she didn't know about the video that imposter Wells left Barry until after he had watched it with Caitlin.

"That's great, right?" Breana had asked him, looking into his eyes from her vantage point of being 11 inches shorter than him. Barry nodded. "Yeah." He kissed her forehead. Breana blushed slightly. Barry chuckled at her. Breana blushed more, being caught off guard when Barry kissed her lips. She kissed him back, letting herself get lost in the moment.

Breana had never come with Barry to visit his father, so of course she didn't come with to pick him up. She assumed that Barry had told Henry about her, though she didn't ask. Henry Allen was a fairly older man, though her probably looked older than he was thanks to the stress of being in prison. "You must be Dr. Allen. I'm Breana." She introduced herself. "I'm not Dr. Allen anymore. Call me Henry. Barry's told me a lot about you." Henry gave her a small smile. "It's nice to meet you, Henry." Breana nodded,wondering what exactly Barry had told his father.

Professor Stein cleared his throat. "Looking at us, and how far we've come while remembering those we lost, I am reminded of a Hebrew word used in times of graduation. Kadima. It means 'Forward'." Breana smiled as she listened to those around her. "Forward." She grinned, raising her glass of sparkling white grape juice. Since she was technically underaged, Joe didn't want her to have alcohol, even with the fact that her metabolism will burn it off before she even got drunk, just like Barry. Barry kissed her lips, laughing.

Breana didn't entirely know what to think about what she had heard Henry say to Barry. On one hand, Barry was his son, though on the other, he was doing ok on his own. Breana just hugged Barry, letting him relax into her embrace before they went over to STAR Labs to show Henry and then check up on things. Though she knew a lot more about Bionics than Metahumans, that Jay Garrick fellow was pretty fishy.

A/N: So I know the waiting sucks, and this was too long, but things have been insane lately, and I got stuck on the Hamilton soundtrack among other things. And I've gotten frustrated with how behind I am on Arrow, Flash and Legends of Tomorrow, like I'm not that far behind Supergirl. Like I blame my DVR for eating the first episode of season 2 of Flash and then junior year making me too busy to watch it pirated. Because Junior of high school is always the worse, I don't care how smart you are.

However, I do have the next chapter ready to be typed up, and this is one of the stories I really want to finish, like I want to give this a sequel that deals with the Flashpoint storyline in Season 3 of Flash.

However, now I am on winter break until January 9th, 2017.
