Winn nodded his head slowly. He knew what it felt like, personally, to feel that tired. To just want to rest and never have it happen. That was his entire college experience… “You deserve a break.” Not the kind of break Barry was really gunning for, but a break nonetheless, to get rid of some of the stress he held within. “Is there anything I can do?”

Barry was exhausted, he really did just need a break. He needed a moment to breathe, to exist without worrying about someone finding him, hurting him or even the people that he loves. Being a hero wasn’t what everyone thought it was. It wasn’t what it was hyped up to be. Head hung between his shoulders and he sighed quietly, hands moving to rest on the back of his neck. “I don’t know, man. I’m just so tired... I wanna sleep for at least a few days but I know I can’t do that.”

( sms ) I don’t think that’s how that works. ( sms ) Although I will say that a part of me is slightly concerned. ( sms ) Another tedious meeting and I’m on the other side of town.

( sms ) why concerned? ( sms ) i’ll see you soon, then? ( sms ) can’t wait to see you.

“never said it was.” but it worked well enough that he could sleep some, usually. that was all that mattered, really. he almost sighed but held it back, knowing that barry just wanted to help. “sleeping is not the issue.” he could fall asleep fine, it was staying asleep without a nightmare that was the problem. fingers drummed against the back of his fist as he considered the options and how it would be best to handle things. “best way to treat ptsd is probably therapy.”

“i think sleeping might be a little of the issue.” barry did want to help, of course he did. he could understand how terrible nightmares were, his might not be as traumatic as tony’s - he might not have gone through the same thing as tony had but he had his own fair share of trauma. he’d had his back snapped and he’d been paraded around the city like a rag doll, like he didn’t mean anything. “have you considered actually going to therapy? i know it sucks but it might help.”

Read More Now!

Eyes rolled into the back of his head and his hips rocked forward, cheeks sucking in slightly. Len all but told him to turn around and he nodded, immediately turning himself around with a light whine. God, he was absolutely so ready for this. “Please-”

@flashborn​ asked:  “ Catch me if you can! ”

“I don’t think I feel up to a chase right about now,” he said smirking, “How about we just skip to the fun part?”

“Yeah? And what would you consider to be the fun part?”  Barry asked with a head tilt, watching Len with a slight smirk of his own.

forthewinn​:

Winn raised his eye brow, as if to question what Barry was saying. “You seem pretty confident, you must have dealt with more meta humans, or at least maybe someone who was a little like me.” He had heard stories, of the different metas that had come to Central City, but he was so terrified of who he was that Winn didn’t think about who else was out there. “How did it not change? Everything changed that night? Our entire body chemistry is different now.” 

“I’ve definitely dealt with a lot of meta’s over the last few years.” Some were harder to deal with, some were easier to deal with. Everyone had different powers, different skill sets and abilities. Different understandings of what they could and couldn’t do, what they shouldn’t do. He was almost entirely sure that the team could help him to get back out there and feel at least somewhat normal again. Like he could live safely. “I feel like it didn’t change much,” he laughed softly. “I’m still a klutz, somehow. Even with super speed, I still drop things a lot.”

“ you don’t have to keep doing it ,  you’re not a GOD barry    —-slow down.  take a break . ”

“but they’re always going to need help,  ollie.  i can’t just ... not help them.  i have to help them.”

supcrfriends​:

“Exactly, I wouldn’t have it any other way.” It wouldn’t be the same if the two of them behaved theirselves. The sound of Barry’s laughter matched hers and Kara was content. “Hey - - - how about grabbing a bite to eat?” She suggested. Food was always good, right? It usually cheered her up and for some reason it felt like it would probably be the same for Barry.

Behaving himself sounded like such a boring day, it was nice to be a little mischievous sometimes. Not always because that was how problems started but just... sometimes. The suggestion of food made him smile brightly and he nodded immediately, in definite agreement. “Absolutely. Food sounds like an incredible way to keep this day going.” He hummed softly, bumping against her softly before he stood up. “C’mon.” Hand extended towards her and he wiggled his fingers playfully.

“   i’m sure i don’t know what you’re talking about.   ”

“really?  you’ve got no idea?  the whole ... everything you’re wearing right now?”

ofcoldguns​:

( SMS ) I can be home in about an hour at the soonest. (SMS ) What do you mean, scientific reasons?

( sms )  a scientist can’t give away their reasons. ( sms )  just like a magician can never reveal his secrets. ( sms )  an hour, okay.

“Good,” he said, stepping closer to the other, reaching out to place his hands on his hips, “I can go tell the rest of the team that you are taking a break tomorrow?” He didn’t want to give him too much wiggle room to try to get out of actually taking said break. It was all for his own good. “Then it will just be you and me and whatever is on the DVR.”  It wasn’t a set in stone plan but it was a potential suggestion. There were plenty of things that they could do.

There was absolutely no way to wiggle himself out of this and he knew it, with the fact that Len was more than ready to go and tell the team himself that Barry was going to take a break. “Yeah, yeah... alright, okay.” A soft sigh rumbled in his throat and he leaned forward slightly, to rest his forehead against Len’s shoulder. “You can tell them, I guess. Then we can spend the day together - which would I definitely like because I like spending time with you.”

“ that would be a new power for cisco to add to your database. ”    but cisco wasn’t currently here and oliver wasn’t entirely too sure how he would handle having meta powers ,   constantine’s rune was bad enough .   “ barry ,   i have had worsethan this .  i’m going to be fine . ”

“i would be actually,  genuinely surprised if you ended up burning through me with a stare.”  because that’s definitely more kara’s superpower,  not the green arrow.  that  &  he’s pretty sure that oliver doesn’t have any superpowers,  he’s just that good at everything.  he’d trained for years to get that good.  “that’s absolutely not the point.  just because you’ve had worse doesn’t negate how bad this currently is.  get back into bed and rest.”

unitcd​:

“I wouldn’t blame you for trying, but a lot of people need you AND The Flash.” Winn understood that. “And I know a lot of people that would miss you a hell of a lot.” 

“Yeah,  yeah.  I know they do.”  Which is super unfortunate,  because he would eventually like a rest.  He would really like a rest at some point but he knows that’s not going to happen anytime soon.  “I’d miss them, too,  I just... I’m real tired.”

birdonawiresara​:

“No you wouldn’t,” Sara easily countered, “And you can’t lie to me.” Because it was in being trained by the League how to lie, how to do it so effortlessly that the truth could’ve just as easily been spoken, that they became so glaringly obvious when spoken by others. Not to mention… She knew Barry, and he knew her. Just like he had to know she wouldn’t back down, she knew he would never put his team at risk, regardless of what he was saying.

Which was why she pushed forward, only to have Barry catch her by the waist and pull her into him. That quick movement had her pressing her head to his bicep, coughing to the point where her throat was raw and her body shaking so hard that her muscles ached. Still, when she managed to catch her breath, she looked up and flatly replied, “That’s the best you can come up with?” She then shook her head, “I’m not resting until the mission is over.”

Barry wasn’t exactly the best at lying, he hadn’t ever been talented at that kind of thing. With some people, it came naturally but with him - he turned into a blubbering, flustered mess that couldn’t string together a proper sentence without sounding like an absolute moron. He knew that he was lying and so did the entire world, anyone who looked at him could tell by micro-expressions, body language and the way his voice sounded. 

Both arms looped around her body to hold her against his, to keep her as close as possible. He knew that he didn’t physically stand a chance against her, not with her training and her muscle gain. There was no way, but he was pretty fast. Even then, she was still smarter and more strategic. “I mean, it’s a pretty good reason, don’t you think? D’you really want me to keep being unhappy?” A low blow but maybe it would work. Maybe.

Barry was so special. He pulled her out of her shell like no one else did and from the moment she’d met him she had felt comfortable around him. That was more than special to her, it meant the world to Kara. Standing here in his arms, kissing him like this just made her heart swell with happiness. The woman loved him, this love was great to her.      The gentle touch was what made her feel like Barry could really be the one for her. Her eyes watched him even as their foreheads touched and she pulled away to look at him when he told her that he wanted to try this between them. “I would like to try too.” She agreed, and even if they did break up Kara didn’t see them being out of each other’s lives. She wouldn’t want that at all, she would still want to be around him even if they figured out that they were better off as friends in the end. 

There was something about Kara, something that made his heart feel warm. Something that made his entire being feel soft and fuzzy on the inside. He really did feel incredibly good and God, he didn’t ever want this feeling to end. He didn’t ever want to be away from her when he felt like this with her. Lips pressed against hers again and he hummed softly, nose rubbing up against hers momentarily. He leaned back, meeting her eyes with a tilt of his head.

Foreheads touched and he exhaled softly, listening to Kara speak. She wanted to try, too, which was a really good thing. He was so grateful for that, he wanted to see where this went, to see what happened between the two of them. He had a feeling that something good would happen. “Good, that’s good. I’d like to see what happens between us. I have a feeling something good is going to happen.”
