Max's POV

...

It's been a full day and a half since I've done anything exciting, or even semi-interesting. I guess I'm enjoying not having to train 24/7 a little too much, as I've been doing nothing but eating and watching Television.

"It's official", I chuckled to myself "I'm bored"

I practically rolled off the couch and got to my feet, dusting the crumbs off my green ufo sweatshirt with matching sweatpants after standing up, I walked over to the window and frowned as it was already dark.

"Dark already? Man, time does fly faster then Supergirl" I giggled at my own, rather stupid, joke.

I smiled to myself as I knew exactly what to do. I snapped my fingers which dressed myself in athletic fit light blue jeans, a black t-shirt with the Pink Floyd symbol on the front, and a black faux leather jacket. I picked up my grey colored flash drive that had a peace sign on it. It has about a dozen videos on it. It's the only thing I have of my life on Earth Prime. I put it in my pocket for safe keeping.

I quickly clicked my heels together causing my black high top Converse to materialize on my feet. I grabbed my wallet and apartment key, ignoring the feeling to make a Wizard of Oz joke knowing it would only be me laughing, mostly because there is no one here but me.

...

I teleported into the ally way next to CC Jitters, I saw the S.T.A.R. Labs logo on the side of a van and immediately knew I was right. So, I hurried inside of the establishment, and watched as Nora walk up to Spencer Young. I walked over to a a table the door, looked around to make sure no one was looking, used my powers to materialize a hibiscus lemonade iced tea and started listening to their conversation.

"I always enjoy meeting a fan," Spencer paused for a minute her smirk widening "Especially when they're as adorable as you."

I tried my best not to giggle at this comment, I could already feel the irritation from Iris already.

"Speaking of the devil" I whisper to myself as Iris speed walks through the doors

"Do you have a name?" Spencer cooly continued

"Nora, hey." Iris walked up, totally cock blocking Nora.

I glanced at Nora, and nearly choked on my tea, which sounded more like a cough then anything.

Spencer looked taken a back, "Wait, y-you know her?"

Nora looked so uncomfortable, "Uh, I do" She looked at Spencer who had her eyebrows raised and Nora continued with a lot of stuttering and "Well, she's actually-This is, actually-"

Iris looked extremely annoyed "Did you want to check your watch? I think we're running a little bit late."

Nora chuckled awkwardly "Right, yes." and opened her meta human detection watch.

Spencer looked as if she was done with this uncomfortable situation because she replied with "All right, well, I'm going to peace out," (The watch didn't beep which showed Spencer is not a meta) Spencer gave Nora one last flirtatious look "but I hope to meet cute you again sometime, Nora" and with that walked out the back doors.

I decided to make my move, I got up and walked up to Nora and Iris, I used my abilities to make the watch go off as if I'm a meta, "Hey," I say as soon as the watch goes off, "Your watch is beeping" I smiled slightly as both women jumped.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to scare you" I chuckled putting my hands in the air defensively, as I saw Iris eyeing me suspiciously as Nora looked at her watch, hesitated, then turned off her watch. "I just wanted to say hi, Nora right?"

I saw Iris frown and Nora made a confused face, her body posture tense, "How do you know my name"

"Oh I heard it while you were talking to Spencer Young," I then rubbed the back of my neck awkwardly as I realized how bad that sounded and continued with "I'm sorry, that sounded a lot creepier out loud then in my head"

I saw Nora relax a little bit, but Iris still was on edge a little bit. Iris crossed her arms, "Can we help you with something?"

I nodded slightly "Right," I turned to Nora, "I saw you a couple of days ago and really wanted to say hello, but I saw you were here with you friend here-" I motioned to Iris "And didn't want to interrupt, then I saw you as I came in and just thought I'd finally work up the courage to finally talk to you and am I rambling? I'm rambling aren't I?" I took a breath, confused with my own feelings.

'Why am I acting like this,' I thought to myself 'why does she make me so nervous'

"I'm sorry" I sighed, shaking my head slightly in defeat "I had a whole plan that totally went out the window, I'm Maxine, by the way, but please call me Max" I stuck out my hand for her to shake, which she took.

"It's nice to meet you" She blushed as she shook my hand.

"And I'm Iris" Iris stepped in front of Nora a little bit, and stuck out her hand which I shook, trying my best not to smirk at her motherly instincts.

"Nice to meet you Iris," An idea popped in my head, "Wait Iris as is Iris West-Allen, the writer of the "Saved by the Flash" Blog"

Iris looked taken a back, smiling in surprise, "Uh y-ya, That's me"

I tried my best to look in awe, "Wow, I love your blog, It's so much better then Spencer Young's blog," Iris smile grew a little more as I continued "I mean, sure, she has more followers, but nothing can beat the original, ya' know"

I turned back to Nora who looked a little half confused smile on her face, "Anyway I just wondering if I can give you my number and if you ever wanna hang out or do something you can let me know." I handed her a piece of folded paper with my number on it.

"Ya," Nora smiled brightly once more "Definitely"

I started walking backwards towards the door, "Cool," I replied, giver her the two finger salute, "See you around" and with that walked out the door and into the ally way where I teleported myself back to my apartment, into my bedroom.

I walked over to my bed, kicking off my shoes and flopped onto the bed. I chuckled to myself as I thought about my awkwardness, I shook my head and whispered "Your such a nerd, Max." I snapped my fingers, turning off all my lights in my apartment, and drifted into a peaceful sleep.
