Fighting For Love (FlashxReader)

"Guys! Everyone is out of the building, but it's still rising," Y/N said from the inside.

"We know," Ray and Kara said in unison.

Oliver stood on the ground with Cisco as he attempted to open a breach, "What happens if we don't get this breach open?" Oliver asked.

"The building has to come down at some point," Barry answered. "We might want to expand that perimeter," he added.

"Why would we need to do that?" Ray asked.

"Because this building is beginning to tilt, and if Cisco can't open that breach it's going to come crashing down on the street," Y/N grimly answered. "However, Cisco," Y/N addressed. "If you could take the skyscraper out of the sky that would be much appreciated."

Ray and Kara both made their way back to the ground, Barry and Y/N agreed to stay up in the building and search for Cassidy. They all looked up in horror as the building rose farther and farther into the sky.

Kara had to turn away, "Cisco, please tell me you can open this breach," she said.

Cisco shrugged, "I'm trying, but I don't even know if it's possible..."

Oliver then stepped in, "Okay, worst case scenario. That building comes down, so long as we have everyone clear, we should be okay...right?"

Ray pondered the thought for a moment, "There's no building to the right, a park to the left and behind. The only worry is the street out front, as long as we keep it clear then yes, we should be okay...but preferably...I think we'd all really appreciate that breach," he explained turning to Cisco.

Cisco nodded, knowing that he had to try, and try he would.

Upstairs Barry and Y/N had been frantically searching for civilians that had been missed in their first few sweeps of the building. Both speedsters skidded to a halt on the 26th floor.

"You okay?" Y/N asked out of breath, steadying her balance.

Barry nodded his head, his hands finding Y/N's shoulder to balance the both of them, "I've been better," he commented.

"Oh come on, what's better than being in a skyscraper in the sky," Y/N joked, trying to lighten the mood, and keep herself calm.

Barry laughed sarcastically, "I can think of a few things."

"Hey guys," Y/N said over the comms to the team on the ground, "Houston, we have a problem."

"How bad is the problem?" Harry asked.

"This building is no longer structurally sound," she explained.

"How do you know that?" Felicity asked worriedly.

Barry looked down, "Because the floor beneath us is cracking in half, soon enough this building is going to break pieces off in pieces and send them hurtling down into the street...we need to keep the civilians safe, as well as ourselves."

"Got it," Oliver replied. "You two keep yourselves safe up there," he added.

"Barry," Y/N said getting his attention.

He looked up and met her worried eyes, "Yeah?" he asked softly.

"Is now a bad time to mention that I'm not a fan of heights?" she asked.

Barry wrapped her in his arms, while still focusing to keep his footing in place, "Remember when we used to sit on the roof of this building?" he asked.

Y/N smirked, "Yeah, that was when it wasn't in the sky over the entire city," she reminded him.

Barry held her closer in his arms, meanwhile, Y/N hugged him tighter, her arms wrapped around his neck.

"I guess now would be a good time to find Cassidy?" Y/N asked, pulling away.

Barry nodded, kissing her quickly, he would have kissed her again had Devoe not entered the picture. He walked into the floor through one of his pocket dimension breaches.

"Well, this is quite the predicament, wouldn't you say," he snickered, sauntering around, somehow keeping his balance.

Barry and Y/N separated, each of them taking a fighting stance. Y/N remembered the other timeline, how things played out...she was not going to let that happen again...

"Y/N, Barry," Ray shouted over the comms, "We've got a civilian trapped on the roof, she's gonna fall."

Barry turned to Y/N, "Go, I got this," he said.

"No," Y/N interjected. "I'm staying here," she said sternly.

"Y/N," Barry said raising his voice, "Go get the civilian on the roof, I'll be fine...just go!" he yelled.

Y/N reluctantly turned and sped up to the roof, it took longer than anticipated, but she lost her balance several times. She kicked down the door to the roof and saw a young woman slowly sliding towards the edge, Y/N raced to grab her hand, keeping herself in place by holding onto a pipe.

"I've got you...what's your name?" Y/N asked.

"Rachel," the girl choked out.

Y/N could tell that she was obviously scared. "Okay, Rachel, I need you to trust me okay? I need you to trust me to let go of this pipe and run us both down to the floor below us...do you trust me to do that?" Y/N asked.

The woman nodded, Y/N knew that she had to hurry, she was losing her grip on both Rachel and the pipe.

Luckily, Y/N did not lose her grip and sped them both to the floor below safely. Y/N struggled to keep her footing, but she knew that she had to, for both Rachel and her own sake.

"You okay?" Y/N asked.

Rachel nodded, still a little shaken up, Y/N saw this but knew that it wouldn't resolve until she was on the ground.

"Ray, I've got the civilian off of the roof, I'm on floor 75, can you get us out of here?" Y/N asked over the comms.

Y/N waited impatiently for an answer, "Ray," she called out again.

"I'm right here," he said spooking her. He had just flown in behind her.

She took a breath of relief and handed Rachel off to Ray, "You take her down, I'm going to go check on Barry," Y/N said speeding away.

But while Y/N was speeding away she only made it two floors before losing her balance. This time...she didn't regain it, she fell, crashed straight through a window...the only things keeping her from falling was her right hand's grip on the edge of the building, which was faltering...
