Prompt: Barry! Something where he uses his brain.
It almost felt like a betrayal, telling Fiona (who he loved enough maybe, but who he'd never love as much), when he'd waited so long to tell Iris. But he'd learned something in the years since he was young, since Jay and Joan had to convince him to tell Iris at all.
"There's something you should know, before you agree to marry me..."
It hadn't happened. He'd *never* told Fiona, and now he never could. If he was regretting, he might just as well regret that he'd gotten involved with (fallen for?) Fiona in the first place.
It was *hard* to stand still and yet be invisible, but Barry'd learned through long practice. He had complete control of the molecules of his body. Increasingly, he had control of nothing else.
At least he could *look* on Fiona, know what he and Eobard (together) had done to her (as they'd done to Iris, and was Fiona better off?). He yearned for a case he could solve with his mind, a rogue who played by the *rules*.
He yearned more for his laboratory, his (somewhat-neglected) job, his life as Barry Allen. He felt almost guilty yearning for this, in place for the lost women in his life--not that he didn't yearn for them to.
If only he could solve Fiona like he could solve a crime. If only he'd known enough to tell her when he could.
If only he'd stuck to his science when he lost his wife.
