-To understand what I'm about to tell you, you need to do something for me. You need to believe in the impossible. Can you do that? Good-
*Two Months Before Particle Accelerator*
I was running late. Again. I, for whatever reason, didn't wake up to my alarm when I was suppose to. Now Captain Singh will either kill me or fire me. Oh, I'm so sorry, you have no idea who I am. My name is Barrie Allen, and I'm a CSI for the CCPD. I became a CSI to find a way to prove my father's innocents, who was falsely convicted of murdering my mother.
Anyway back to my earlier rant. I was woken up by my phone ringing in my ear, and when I looked at the caller ID, it showed Joe, the man who took me in at eleven. After a moment of trying to wake up, I answered the call.
"Hey Joe, what's up?" I say sleepily.
"What do you mean what's up? You were suppose to be at the precinct an hour ago, Barrie! Where the hell are you?" Joe says with a slight edge. I pull my phone from my ear to look at the time display, it read 0900. I stare at the time in shock.
"Shit!" I curse under my breath before putting the phone to my ear again. "Joe, I'm sorry, I'll be there in, like, ten minutes. Can you stall Singh for me, please?" As I'm saying this, I'm already up and trying to find clothes to wear. Looking in my draw I find a black tank and some dark wash skinny jeans. As I'm heading to my closet Joe responds.
"I'll see what I can do, but no promises. Now hurry up and get your ass to the precinct, the Captain wants you to meet someone." With that the dial tone sounds and I'm left in silence. I dig through my closet trying to find something to put over my tank. Thinking 'fuck it', I just grab a nice navy blue sweater and throw it on. I run to the bathroom to brush my teeth. As I'm doing that I attempt to put on my Converse, keyword, attempt, meaning I fell, right on my ass.
"That's going to leave a mark," I mutter to myself as I get up to finish my rushed routine. In less than then five minutes I am out the door and running the three blocks from my apartment to the Central City Police Department, and I get there with two minute to spare. Leaving the elevator, I walk the short distance to the bullpen, where I see Joe talking to someone new. Joe's back is facing me, so he doesn't notice that I'm there, which is good, no lecture yet, but I get a full view of the new guy. Let me tell you, I really wish I was there earlier so I could look some more. He had shortish sandy-blond hair that I could run my fingers through for hours, it looked so soft, his face was tan, like he worked outside a lot. His eyes were the brightest blue, like I was staring into the deepest depths of the ocean and I could drown if I looked deep enough into them. He had a strong jaw and full pink lips, and when he smiled, I thought I was going to be blinded by the brightest and whitest smile I have ever seen.
I didn't realize how long I was staring until Singh was yelling at me to come to his office. I blushed, looking away from the newbie to go to the captains office like a student going for detention. When I reach Captain Singh's office, I look over my shoulder towards Joe's desk to find the new guy looking at me. I quickly looked away from him to go get yelled at. And I was right about the yelling, As soon as I closed the door to the office, Singh was on my case.
---Time skip brought to you by "It's Been Cisco-ed!!"---
I walk out of the captain's office, head spinning from the amount of yelling and hollow threats that were thrown at me. Shaking my head, I walk to where Joe was gesturing to me to come over. I smile at Joe as I approach, not noticing the Newbie behind him.
"Hey Bar, how'd it go in there?" Joe asks hugging me. I hug him back, giggling a little bit at him.
"It was fine. Captain Singh may look tough, but he's just a big teddy bear. Though he did find new stuff to threaten me with, like no food in the lab, which I don't do often. Anyway, enough about me, how are you doing?" I ask him pulling away from the hug in the middle of me talking.
"Oh, you know the same, though It would be better if a certain daughter-of-mine would come to the house, instead of avoiding it like the plague." I laugh at Joe's statement, but it was cut off when someone clears their throat. I look just past Joe and see the pretty new guy standing there. I blush looking back at Joe.
"Who's this?" I ask, pointing to the Blondie, still looking at Joe.
"I'm Eddie Thawne, a new detective here at the precinct. I transferred from Keystone." The man now identified as Eddie said. I look at him and smile, offering my hand to him.
"Hello, Detective, My names Barrie Allen, I work as CSI here. Speaking of, I should get to my lab, cases won't solve themselves." I say giggling a little, earning a laugh from the two men in front of me. "It was nice to meet you Detective, I hope you enjoy working here." I smile at him then turn to Joe, giving the man that was like a father a hug and a kiss to his cheek. "I'll see you later Joe. Are we still on for family dinner tomorrow?" I ask, and when I get a nod in return I smile at both of them then turn, heading up the stairs to my lab. As I'm walking I can't help but grin at the thought of working with the man I now will call Detective Pretty Boy.
