In A Matter Of Seconds [Under Editing]

Chapter 30

****

The next morning Barry and Emely were late. Emely usually wakes up early, but she liked sleeping in Barry's arms. It was so peaceful. 

Barry stopped by Jitters and helped everyone out with the coffee and got one for him and Emely. 

"Bare." Barry smiled at her. 

Barry walked up ahead and Emely stopped to tie her shoe. When she caught up to Barry, she saw he was being mugged.

"Oh, this is awesome. You've got to be kidding me." Emely rolled her eyes.

Barry is the biggest dork she's ever met. But she likes it either way.

"This is crazy. There are hundreds of thousands of people in Central City, and out of everyone you chose to rob, you picked me." Emely sighed.

"Yeah, he picked you. The one with the cop as a girlfriend." The man widened his eyes. 

"Yeah, I'm a cop." Barry rushed another cop next to her.

"Detective Hart. Nice to see you." Emely smiled. 

"You too, Detective Foster. This man was just mugging my boyfriend." Detective Foster nodded as he turned to the man. 

"Let's go, bebz." Barry grinned goofily as she held his hand. 

"You really like that name, don't you?" Barry nodded and they headed to S.T.A.R Labs. 

"Hey my home dogs. What's shakin'?" Barry left with Dr. Wells as Emely sat in a chair. 

"I have a question to ask you." Emely nodded.

"Have you and Barry..."

"EW! No. No. No. Absoultely not." Emely gagged. 

"They just began dating, Cisco. I don't think they're ready for that yet." Cisco rolled his eyes.

"Whatever." Emely smiled

"Aweh. No te preocupes, Cisco. Vas a encontrar una chica algun dia." Barry widened his eyes as he came back.

"You speak Spanish?" Emely nodded.

"Si, mi amor." Barry looked at Cisco.

"She said yes, my love." Barry grinned and looked back at Emely.

"More pet names in Spanish?" Emely shrugged.

"Si tu quieres, papi." Cisco widened his eyes

"No. Absoutely not." Emely winked at Cisco.

"Wait, what does papi mean?" Cisco started to explain to Barry in his ear.

Barry's eyes widened as he learned what it meant. He blinked and bit his lip.

"That...that's only for my ears." Cisco covered his ears.

"That's nasty." Emely giggled.

"I was just kidding. Calm your man tits." Emely's cell phone vibrated. 

"Well, this has been fun. But my job is summoning me to a homicide, so I'll you cupcakes later. You coming, bebz?" Barry sped her out of the room.

"They're so adorable." Cisco nodded.

"Definitely." Dr. Wells didn't say anything. 

Dr. Wells still saw Emely as a leverage to Barry. This incident with Tony made it obvious. As long as Emely and Barry go to fight meta-humans, she's putting herself and Barry in danger. That's when Dr. Wells finally thought of a solution.

***

Emely made a face as she saw the burned body at the homicide.

"Ew." Joe and Eddie walked up to them. 

"Whoa." As Barry explained how it could've happened, Emely noticed that nothing else got burned except the body.

"Wait, the body is the only thing that got burned. That doesn't make any sense." Emely climbed up onto a railing and Barry followed her. 

"See? Something or someone hit them from up here." Barry nodded.

Barry went back down and Emely noticed Joe seemed off. 

"Joe, come here." Joe walked over to her.

"What's going on? And don't lie because you know that I know how to lie." Joe shook his head. 

"I'm fine." She stared at him.

"It's about something. Something's bothering you." He sighed

"Iris...someone told me to stop looking into Barry's mother's murder or else they'll kill Iris. They took the files and everything else I had." Before Emely could reply, she had a text.

'Emely, I know that you and Barry are together, but I cannot have you in S.T.A.R Labs seeing as you being with Barry with cause the meta-humans to use you as leverage to lure Barry to them. If you want what's best for him, you will stay away.'
