95
"Zee." Barry's voice is quiet, as we laid in bed, staring at the ceiling.
I turned my head and looked at him, "Yes?"
"Run off-" Barry suggests, "You could- change your appearance- and stay in Star City- never look back- move on-"
"Are you trying to divorce me before we even get married?" I stare at him, trying to lighten the mood, and to my success, he laughs lightly.
"Barry." I shot him a look, "Savitar probably remembers this conversation. He's going to tell Reign- and I'm still dead."
Barry sighs quietly, his tone going soft as he pulled me into his side, "I don't want you to die."
"I have a plan, ." I kiss his cheek, "Focus on Iris."
"Twenty four hours." Barry stares at the clock. "Just stay with me, okay? The whole teams working on this- we're going to save you and Iris. I can't lose both my best friend and my fiancée."
"You won't, Barry." I smile up lightly at him, "I have faith."
"I wish I was as hopeful as you are." Barry kisses my head.
"You know what I'd love right now?" I look up at him.
Barry looks down at me, "Anything you want."
"Well, first of all, keep your hair like this. I love it." My hand touches his hair, ruffling it lightly, it become more of a floppy mess, a small chuckle leaving his lips.
"And second?" questioned Barry Allen, knowing that there was something else.
"." I whisper, excitement threaded in my tone unintentionally.
"You want to dance?" Barry scoffs lightly.
"Yes." I slip out of bed, grabbing my phone, connecting it to the Bluetooth speaker that sat on my nightstand, blasting music.
"We're going to get a noise complaint." Barry complained lightly.
"Well, you'll take care of that won't you?" I smile at him, grabbing his hands, pulling him out of bed.
"I will." Barry shoots me a soft smile, the music blasting through the speaker. I sang along, dancing around the loft like an idiot, Barry joined with me. It looked as if we were drunk, but we weren't. We were just being idiots.
On what could be the last day I lived.
Barry and I sang along to the pop music, dancing around, falling into each other's arms, catching each other, laughing every time we did.
My hand goes to my phone after a while, turning off the music, looking up at him, placing my hands on his chest, "You know what I could really go for right now?"
"Anything you want." Barry repeated from before, already accepting to my next request.
"Big Belly Burger." I answer simply and in a whisper.
"Big Belly Burger?" Barry questions.
I hum, "That's what I said."
"Okay, but it's a little late and it might be hard for me to find an open place." Barry looks down at me, his hands on my waist.
A pout falls onto my lips, as he inhaled deeply, "But, I will find an assortment for you."
"I love you." I break into a bubbly smile, kissing his cheek.
"I love you-" Barry kisses my head, walking over to his nightstand, grabbing his watch, giving me one last looking before disappearing through the door.
I drop my phone onto our bed, my hand grabbing a small notebook from my nightstand, grabbing a pen. I open to a fresh new page, date and timing the paper at the top right corner. I began to write down everything I had to say to Barry.
Just in case everything goes wrong.

"Okay-" Cisco said to me quietly as we stood in his workshop at Star Labs once he had gotten back from talking to Lyla with Barry, "Julian and I managed to create a enhancing serum when come in contact with your meta human dna, will decrease how long it will take you to heal for at least twenty-four hours."
"By how much?" I question.
"95%." Cisco smiles at me, excitement practically oozing through his words, "So when Reign does try to kill you- and she disappears- the serum will be able to give you enough time to regenerate-"
"You're going to give it to me before everything happens- good." I mumble, "And you're going to breach Reign right into a cell in the pipeline, right?"
Cisco nods, "We're going to save you, Zee."
"Let's hope." I exhale.
We eventually go to the cortex, where Barry and everyone else stood. I walk over to Barry, wrapping my arms around him, shoving my face into his chest.
"You okay?" Barry runs a hand through my hair, tilting my head back so he could see my face.
I nod lightly, giving him a weak smile, "I'm fine."
"Are you serious?" the words slipped out of Iris' mouth once Cisco told us all about what happened at Argus.
"Yeah." Cisco nods.
"Yeah, if Lyla won't let us have the Dominators' tech, then we are gonna break into ARGUS, and we're gonna steal it." Barry told us straight up, holding onto me tighter, not ready for my reaction, "Wally and I will phase through the walls. We'll be in and out of there before anyone even gets off a shot.
I stay silent as Cisco stares at Barry, "Uh, hello? No, you won't."
"What is that?" HR looks at what's on the screen of Cisco's monitor.
"That is a meta-human power dampener." Cisco answers, "And it's all over the building, so you can't use your powers inside."
"Can we use anything else to power this Speed Force gun?" Joe asks.
"Speed Force bazooka." HR corrects.
"Nothing else." Cisco answers, "Manipulating extra-dimensional energy requires, well, a ridiculous of energy, and the Dominator tech's the only thing that can do that."
"Hey, I have an idea, gang." HR spoke up, "What if we just put you- put Iris on a plane to Paris,or somewhere far away?"
"There's nowhere on Earth that Savitar wouldn't find her." Barry says. "Stealing this Dominators' tech is our only option, all right?"
"Barry." I look up at him, "ARGUS is more secure than the pentagon. If your powers don't work in there, how are you gonna get past security?"
Cisco inhaled deeply, "This is what we're dealing with: surveillance cameras, eye scans, palm prints, heat sensors, laser sensors-"
"They really thought of everything, didn't they?" questioned HR.
Cisco sighed, "That's just the first floor."
"So, you're saying this is the most fortified structure in the history of fortified structures, they can't use their superpowers, and we have less than 14 hours to steal the thing." Joe confirms, "And none of us are master thieves."
