Happy New Year // The Flash // BarryCade Fluff

Summary – Team Flash are ready to ring in the New Year but a meta pops up and tears Barry away. He promises he won’t be late for the ball drop but Cadence isn’t too sure.

Words: 1207

Team Flash needed some time to unwind after the year they had. So, of course they were going to have a New Year’s party. And, with Cadence’s upbringing in Metropolis, she knew how to throw a party and she especially knew how to throw a New Year’s party.

Sure, there was the Ball Drop Bash that Jitters put on every year. But they needed some time to be able to be themselves at a party and not freak out about someone drunkenly admitting what they did when most of Central City wasn’t looking.

Cisco had grumbled an apology, muttering something about “Someone had to test the liquor for Barry to get drunk”, while Caitlin smiled serenely and placed a hand on his shoulder and said, “Don’t worry, it’ll just be everyone who knows our identities at this party.”

Still, to be on the safe side, Cadence decided to have the party at hers and Brady’s apartment. Of which Brady was more than excited about. Then again, she was sure it was due to being able to stay up rather than having to beg and sneak his way around to do it.

Once the plans were made, Cadence teleported into Barry’s office at the CCPD, making him look over in surprise. His eyes widened ever so slightly at her appearance next to him. “What’s going on?” He asked. “You can’t just…pop into my office like that.”

Cadence’s eyes narrowed in confusion. “You run all over the city, Barry! I can blink and you’ll be in the next room and back with no thought to it.”

Barry folded his arms, leaning back in his seat. “Captain Singh was just in here; you could’ve given yourself away.” Cadence gave him a look. “Okay, I get your point. What’s up?”

“We’re having a New Year’s party at the loft—”

“—Sounds fun—”

“—And the only thing I’m asking is that you’re not going to be late.”

Barry adopted a slightly wounded expression. “What makes you think I’m going to be late?”

“Because you’re you.”

His expression became even more wounded. “It’s not like I do it on purpose!”

“I know.” Cadence held up a hand, a fireball appearing above her fingers. She bounced it back and forth over her fingertips as she continued to speak. Though Barry was sure there was a bit of an unspoken warning. “But we all need a break, you especially. And it’s one of the few times that we can all have a good time before something, inevitably, goes wrong. I just want us all to have a good time and I want you to be there.”

They were newly dating, of course she wanted him at the party.

Barry nodded, seeming to understand that. He reached across his desk and grabbed her hand. “I promise, I’ll be there.”

-

The party was going well; Caitlin, Cisco, and Harrison had all arrived on time, Brady and Conner were having a good time yelling over whatever game it was they were playing over their handheld games, even Oliver, Felicity, Roy, and Diggle had shown up on time. Iris and Joe had come by with their traditions of the West family, even Ryder had popped by to wish his ex a happy new year.

They were all mingling together and seeming to enjoy the lavish party she managed to throw in the one-bedroom apartment.

Still, the only person she really wanted there, apart from Brady, wasn’t there. Part of her understood, Barry had said he was going to stop by Iron Heights and spend some time with his dad. But then they had gotten an alert of a meta and Barry had raced off to do that, waving off Cadence’s offers to go with him to help take down the meta.

“It’s just a bank robber, I’ll be there and back before you even know it,” Barry had said confidently.

And it’s not that it was really a big deal, he was just going to be her plus one for the party. And had even made sure not to roll his eyes at Cadence’s insistence of everyone being dressed to the nines in their best suits and dresses just to stay in an apartment. Actually, Barry was the only one excited to be able to dress up.

Then the meta popped up and he had a duty to go protect the city. That was fine, she understood. Hell she could even see him from the fire escape, watching his lightning streak zip back and forth across the city as he took on…whatever it was. Still, she continued to opt to sit on the fire escape, her gown be damned. She wasn’t really enjoying the party anyway, realizing too late she hadn’t even wanted to throw one, just wanted to spend some quiet time with her son and boyfriend.

Yet, years of her mother’s influence had been so engrained in her that she couldn’t help but fall back into what was normal for her.

“Mom! Come on!” Before she knew it, Brady had wandered into their room and poked his head out the window. He clambered onto the fire escape and grabbed his mother’s hand, pulling her back inside. “We’re about to do the countdown! Come on! Come on!” As he dragged her through the window, waiting patiently as she moved her dress out of harm’s way he asked, “Do I have to go to bed as soon as it hits midnight?” He tugged at the collar of his suit, nose wrinkling in discomfort.

“We’ll see, bud,” she replied, affectionately ruffling his hair.

The two slipped back into the apartment as the countdown, led by Iris, continued.

“Ten…Nine…Eight…Seven…”

For a brief moment, Cadence wondered what would happen if she decided to teleport to New York and set the ball on fire. The thought made her smile.

“What’s so funny, mom?” Brady asked, glancing up at her.

“Nothing.”

A familiar woosh reached her ears, her hair blew around her face when Barry appeared in front of her, dressed to the nines in a tux.

“Two...One...”

“You’re la…” the words weren’t able to leave Cadence’s lips as she was silenced by Barry’s deep kiss.

“Happy New Year!”

“I’m just in time,” he murmured, making her smile before they kissed again.

@purple-and-red-ribbons / Riley

This is the best I could do. It was hard with Jessica Lowndes taking up half his face, lol. So I just flipped Kristin and did my best to edit them together. I know you wanted them almost kissing but you’d see too much of Jessica’s face if I did it that way so I went for a full-ish kiss.

[margoshansons]

Hey! Congrats on the 1.4!! If I may ask, can I ask for a drabble of BarryCade? I'm real interested to see how you'd do it. 😊 -Riley

Of course! It’s very short (as most drabbles are) but I wanted to go with a fluff piece, cause I get the feeling we won’t be getting much of that in the near future haha.

title: The Nash-Allen’s play Uno

pairing: BarryCade (i love that ship name btw) feat. Brady

summary: card game night gets heated. 

notes: this is low-key based on an actual interaction that happened last night at my house haha. I hope I did Cade justice!

"Uno!" Cade shouted, placing the blue card down on the pile, Barry groaning as her face broke into a wide smile.

"Seriously?" Barry lifted his eyebrows, picking up two cards from the draw pile, turning toward his fiancée, “I swear, you have like supernatural luck or something.”

Cadence’s smile grew wider, almost gloating about her ability to win at any card game, “I’m just that good.” She bragged, eagle eyes watching Brady place a reverse card down on the table, resisting the urge to let out an exasperated sigh at the move.

Barry no doubt had something up his sleeve. She was right.

“I’m not sorry about this,” He smirked, placing down the black card, the white +4 staring up at her, Barry looking proud about his decision.

“Bartholomew. Henry. Allen.” Cadence spoke with slow, sure, words. Letting Barry know that move was going to be a big mistake, “I am going to murder you.”

He only smirked and pressed a kiss to her cheek, “already tried, but I admire your determination.”

Cadence groaned and picked up her cards.

1.4k follower celebration!

‘Wow … just wow': Wounded patriot is poignant reminder at march [pics]

It’s rather dusty in here. Tears.

Patriots descended upon Washington, D.C., on Sunday for the Million Veterans March, which protested the Spite House’s Barrycades, particularly the ones at memorials for America’s bravest.

This patriot moved everyone.

http://twitter.com/#!/andrewbcreech/status/389410814773723136 http://twitter.com/#!/SturgisMary/status/389392607299653632

God bless him, indeed.

As Twitchy reported, Barrycades at several memorials were torn down and transported to the White House, where march attendees peaceably assembled. They also delivered the Barrycades to the Spite House: “Return to sender,” baby!

These photos, however, are the most touching and poignant.

Bingo.

http://twitter.com/#!/outsidethewire2/status/389403575958261760

Always. And that brave hero is continuing to support America, the land of the free and the home of the brave.

Thank you, sir.

http://twitter.com/#!/Linda_Davis/status/389441042233049088

Amen.

And some exit adorable hope for the future:

Ri! You're back!! ^_^ OTPs and Self Ships ask for . . . I'm tempted to ask for Cade and Barry, but anyone you like #1, 5, 16, 17, 47 anndd 58! Enjoy!

I'm gonna do BarryCade because I love and miss the hell out of the two of them!

Who would end a heated argument by defending their actions with ‘because I love you!’ ?

Barry. He's the paragon of love! If anyone in life loves love, it's Barry. To the extent that if he had the fate of the entire world he had to save (which clearly happens because it's Central City) and Cadence that he had to save as options he would find a way to confess his love to her in either option and prove his decision by bringing it back to how much he loves her. If they were arguing with each other he would absolutely say it.

5. Describe their cozy night in.

I'm pretty sure by this point I've done it in a one-shot or in the actual series but their cozy night in is them sitting on the fire escape, looking out over the city wrapped in each other's arms and just spending that time together. Of course at some point something going on in the city is going to have them run out to save it, but sitting quietly under the stars and looking over the city is great for them.

16. Can they stay up all night just talking?

100%. To the point that Cade gets annoyed and wants to sleep but Barry just keeps talking. His brain moves too fast for him to not have a thought in his head that he wants to address. But she loves him enough that she sleepily responds to whatever he wants to talk about.

17. Who’s more likely to pull the other in by the waist and kiss them passionately?

Cadence! Because she's A) much stronger than him and can do it, B) because she's too short to hug him around the neck, and C) she's more affectionate than Barry and kisses him all the time.

47. Does either of them have a secret that could potentially ruin their relationship?

Well Cade kept it a secret that Brady was her son when they first met, she tried to kill him when they first met, she still has ties to the organization she worked with that murdered people for money...so a few. But the biggest one that would probably be a legitimate relationship issue is (and I haven't revealed this in fic yet) that Cade first killed someone when she was 13/14 years old.

58. Who’s more likely to hold a grudge after an argument?

Barry. We've seen him on the show, he can hold a grudge like no one's business when he truly feels he's justified with that grudge. Cade, in comparison, can get over it pretty fast.

So awesome. Twitchy reported on the citizen who defied the petulance in chief’s shutdown snit fit orders and mowed the lawn at the Barrycaded Lincoln Memorial.

http://twitter.com/#!/belvdere/status/389467610041290752

Chris Cox was then told that lawn mowers and chainsaws are prohibited. Can’t have that! So, what did he do?

I'm real curious to know what you'd do for a BarryCade playlist compared to the one I've got -Riley

Oooh okay. First of all, thank you for trusting me with this wonderful couple, and second, I think our music taste differs quite a bit so this should be interesting hahaha.

The Fire: Bishop Briggs

gave me love, gave me sick, sick love// but it was me who got swallowed up// not enough, dust to dust, pray for us// cause I’ve been a devil// I’ve been a saint// somebody help me, I can’t change.

Don’t Deserve You: Plumb

you never give up// when I'm falling apart// your arms are always open wide// and you’re quick to forgive when I make a mistake// you love me in the blink of an eye.

Sparks Fly: Taylor Swift

I’m captivated by you baby// like a fireworks show// drop everything now// meet me in the pouring rain// kiss me on the sidewalk// take away the pain// cause I see, sparks fly, whenever you smile.

You & Me: James TW

as long as I got you and me// moving through this world as a two-man team// I’ll always have everything I need.

Evaporate: Gabrielle Aplin

when it’s too hard and too late// when I’m too tired to run away// when it can’t stay the way it was// I need you cause// you smash the trouble I can’t take// and all the pieces of the break evaporate.

I hope I did them justice!!

Send me a relationship and I’ll create a five-song playlist for them!
