In A Matter Of Seconds [Under Editing]

Chapter 50

"She buy it?"

"I think so." 

"Keeping her in the dark, it's for her safety."

"That is debatable and we will have that debate." Emely turned to Eddie

"Eddie, I know first hand what it's like to know who the Flash is. I've been kidnapped, and I'm pretty sure there's bound to be more. All I'm saying is that I know you love Iris, and you wouldn't want her to be kidnapped or tortured all because of the Flash. Would you?" Eddie sighed

"No. Of course not. So, what's our next move? How do we figure out what Wells is up to?" 

"When Wells was talking Barry through phasing, it sounded like he was talking from experience. The wind, the power." Everyone looked at Emely. 

"What are you saying?" 

"I don't know how, but I think that he's the man in yellow." They all stared at her intently.

"Harrison Wells is the Reverse-Flash."

The next day, Eddie, Joe and Emely met up at a crime scene. 

"Victim's name is Lindsay Kang. Engineering professor at Hudson University. Just got tenure." The three of them met Barry by the body.

"Hey, so her whole body is covered in these puncture wounds you see on her face. Bite marks maybe. Whatever is was, she must have gone into anaphylaxis."

"Damn."

"Yeah. The blood sample should tell us everything. I'll run tests back at my lab."

"They could do it faster at S.T.A.R Labs." Emely looked at Barry

"Well, yeah, but I mean, it's just-"

"It's just what?" Emely, Joe and Barry began to walk

"It's kind of weird being there right now." Emely looked at him.

"Barry, you have to learn how to hide it. Wells cannot find out about your suspicion as well as my own." Barry sighed

"All right. Fine."

"Death by apitoxin."

"Honeybee venom." Emely made a face

"Ew. I hate bees." 

"I don't do bees. Ain't nobody got time for bees." 

"When a honyebee stings, the stingers are torn from their abdomen and they die." Emely crossed her arms

"There weren't any dead bees at the scene, or in the car."

"A honeybee can only deposit 0.1 milligrams of apitoxin when it releases its stinger." 

"Yet Ms. Kang was found with enough venom in her system to kill a herd of elephants. It appears not only is a meta-human controlling these bees, but also increasing their toxcity." Cisco had a look on his face

"Bees communicate by releasing their pheronomes. Maybe this meta is controlling them through secretion?" 

"Anyone wanna join me in getting a beekeeper suit?" Emely raised her hand.

"Me." 

"I'm pretty sure I can outrun a bee." Emely rolled her eyes

"Just don't run into a lake." A familiar voice called out, "the bees will wait for you to come up for air. Then they'll sting you. Discovery channel. Turns out there's a lot to discover." 

Emely smiled at the blonde haired woman who could only be Felicity Smoak.

"Felicity, is Oliver with you?" Felicity shook her head. 

"Can you guys come outside for a sec?" 

They all did as she asked and Lily was just about to enter the facility, so she waited too.

"What exactly are we waiting for Ms. Smoak?" 

"Up there." Felicity pointed to something in the sky.

"Is that a bird?"

"It's a plane." Emely grinned and looked at Barry

"There's only one superhero associated with that saying." Barry shook his head

"SUPERMAN!" They watched as the man in the suit landed on the ground.

"It's my boyfriend." 

"You're boyfriend can fly? That's so cool." Barry looked at her

"I mean, not as cool as being the fastest man alive." Barry shook his head. 

"I love you." Emely placed a kiss on his cheek.

"Mhm." Emely smiled at him. 

"I know you love me too, Bartholomew." She whispered.

He smiled down at her before pecking her lips. 

"Hi. I'm Ray." Emely looked at Felicity.

"What happened with..you know?" Instead of responding, she linked arms with Ray and went inside. 

"Fine. Ignore me then." Emely followed them inside. 

"So," Barry and Emely stood by Felicity as she watched Caitlin checked up on Ray, "he seems a little tall for you."

"Barry Allen, your girlfriend is standing right there." Barry widened his eyes.

"I'm not jealous. I just wished you would've called first before you flew in."

"He flew, I drove." Barry gave her a look.

"I'm serious. Now's not the best time." Felicity looked at Emely

"All of us are going through some rough times. Personally, of course. Some not so personal." Felicity cocked her head to the side

"Are you guys fighting?" Emely shook her head.

"No, we're still together. Happily together." Felicity nodded.

"I just feel like you're not telling me something."

"Yeah, just like you haven't told me what happened with Oliver, right?"
