Captain America gives Barry and Emma a week off before the dust settles on Atlantis and Europe.

"Just two tasks, rest, and take care of Miss Karis." Captain America said. "I also told Miss Carris that she will go to Central City with you this week. Central City is relatively safe now, and you and Captain Cold are also there. Now the whole world knows that superheroes are with Miss Carris, at least People in Central City don't want her dead that much."

Seeing Barry's serious face, Steve patted him on the shoulder:

"Of course, you can't stay in the room all the time."

Steve handed Barry a pair of women's black-rimmed glasses, and Barry took it doubtfully.

"Batman gave it to me before he left. He told Ms. Carris to take it, it can hide her identity, and it also has a communicator function in it, which can connect to the channels of all Avengers and Justice League members."

Barry: Hiding identity? ? ?you sure?

Although he had doubts about the practicality of the glasses, Barry's trust in Batman made him give Emma the glasses.And at the same moment when Emma put on the glasses, Barry was surprised to find something different on the girl's face—her bright eyes were covered, and she suddenly showed a kind of earthy college student appearance. look like.

"I didn't expect a pair of glasses to bring such a big change." Barry sighed, "If I didn't see it with my own eyes, I couldn't believe it at all."

Emma laughed.

"There are still many things you can't believe." Emma said slyly, "Let's find out slowly later."

After taking off her glasses, Emma looked suspiciously at Barry who had been staring at her.

"Emma..." Barry stammered, "You know...you can't move now, and you need someone to protect you. You'd better..."

"I know." Emma smiled, "CAP also told me that I don't want to bother Mrs. Smally with my current appearance. I will live with you during this time. Thank you, Barry! "

Barry:! ! !

Two days later

central city

Carrying a large bag of daily necessities, Barry pushed Emma, ​​who was in a wheelchair, to the door of an apartment.

"Emma", Barry scratched his head, "You...you wait for me a little bit."

After finishing speaking, Barry rushed into the house quickly, and Emma could only hear various chaotic sounds outside the door: the clashing sound of pots and pans, the rumbling sound of rolling clothes in the washing machine, and the "boom" when Barry fell. and the sound of "SHIT".

While Barry was tossing about in the apartment, the door opposite him opened.Coming out of the house was a woman in her mid-fifties, with short, stylish blond hair curled into curvy waves like a 50s poster.At this time, she was holding a huge tray in her left hand, and the grilled chicken and baked potatoes on the tray were exuding a charming aroma.

When she looked at Emma in the wheelchair, the woman was obviously surprised.

"Is Barry back?" the woman asked.Before Emma could answer, the door of Barry's apartment opened——

"Hey, Emma." Barry leaned out the door, his whole body was ashamed, "Let's go in... Mrs. Merck?"

"I thought you disappeared, Barry. Where have you been this year?" Mrs. Merck approached Barry and Emma. Compared with Barry's disappearance, Emma in the wheelchair made Merck more The wife was curious, and she looked at Emma. "girlfriend?"

"N..."

"Yes." Before Barry could speak, Emma spoke first.

Barry looked at Emma in surprise, his eyes were full of excitement and doubt, and Emma smiled at Barry, which made the latter's face turn red all of a sudden.

Mrs. Merck's eyes flicked quickly between Barry and Emma:

"Barry is a good boy," Mrs. Merck said to Emma, ​​bending down. "As a neighbor, I can assure you. He never brought another girl back to his apartment before you."

"I know," Emma nodded with a smile, "Barry is the best person in the world, and I will cherish Barry."

Mrs. Merck smiled, and she handed the tray to Barry—

"Here!" said Mrs. Merck. "I've just roasted a turkey. Treat your little girlfriend to a treat. Your bachelor flat that's been vacant for a year must be no fun."

Barry turned on the light, and Emma could see what the apartment looked like.

The whole apartment is not big, but as a single man's residence, a one-bedroom house is enough.

Although the house is not big, it looks very cozy.Brown is the main color of the apartment, with indirect splashes of red or yellow—the colors of The Flash.One half of the dark brown sofa is almost filled with assorted Flash dolls.

“These were gifts from some fans when I was The Flash.” Watching Emma look at the dolls on the sofa, Barry explained, “mostly from children. I don’t want to lock these gifts in the closet. "

The cloak wrapped around Emma's legs also flew towards the pile of dolls at this time, and it gently rubbed its tail against the cute Flash dolls curiously.Then the cloak was lazily attached to the pile of furry dolls.

As the cloak flew over, Emma's golden fishtail was exposed.Barry's eyes couldn't help looking at the fish tail.After several hours of flying, the golden fishtail on the forehead had already become a little dim. Barry suddenly remembered something——

Barry opened the bathroom door and fiddled with something in it, and then Emma heard the sound of running water.

"The bathtub is a little small," Barry said.The bathtub in a one-person apartment cannot be compared with the large fish tank in the STAR laboratory. "Your tail needs some water now, I just filled the bathtub."

Water at around 24°C is colder for humans, but it is a temperature suitable for marine life.

Barry approached Emma, ​​"I can..."

Emma smiled, and she stretched out her arms generously, wrapping them around Barry's neck.

Barry carefully carried the girl into the bathroom, gently put her in the bathtub, then went to fetch the towels and the change of clothes Emma brought, and put them on the chair that Emma could reach.

"The shampoo and shower gel are right at hand." Barry pointed to the shelf beside him, "Call me if you need anything."

Then Barry left the bathroom, closing the bathroom door behind him.

When Emma sat in the bathtub, she found that the water from Barry just covered her fish tail, and her upper body was completely out of the water, and her clothes were not wet at all.

This boy is more gentle than she imagined.

Barry fidgets outside the house.

It was the first time a young girl had come to his house, and more importantly, it was Emma.

This is the girl he likes and even wants to be with for the rest of his life.

Barry has gone back and forth to clean the room several times, he has locked those dirty certificates belonging to bachelors firmly in the cabinet, and he has also used his super speed to clean the dusty apartment back and forth three times.Even so, he couldn't sit still and looked around, for fear of leaving a bad impression on Emma.

Would Emma not like it here?After all, this apartment is really too small.thought Barry.I should change to a bigger house in the future.

While Barry was thinking about it, Emma's voice came from the bathroom:

"Barry," Emma called, "can you take me out? I think I'm done."

Barry hurried over and opened the door in the bathroom.Emma sat in the bathtub, her long hair washed and changed.At this time, Emma was tilting her head, wiping her long hair that was still dripping with the towel that Barry brought.

Barry carried Emma back to the sofa.

The cloak held a Flash doll, and gently leaned against Emma's cool fishtail.Emma stroked the cloak and smiled: "Do you like this doll?"

The cloak shook.

luv't!Look how cute it is!

The Flash figure held by the cape is different from the others and appears to be handmade.Its face is also fatter than other dolls, and it is very round and cute. The Q version of the chubby body is wearing the red uniform of the Flash, which looks very cute.

At this time, Barry brought plates, knives and forks, and Mrs. Merck's roast chicken, and put them on the table in front of Emma.He tore a chicken leg, put it on a plate, and handed it to Emma.

Emma chewed in small sips.It wasn't until the aroma of turkey came that she realized that she was already hungry.

Mrs. Merck's grilled chicken was tender and juicy, and the moment Barry tore open the drumstick, the gravy flowed down the grilled chicken.The plump meat was firm, and the aroma of rosemary and the original turkey meat exploded in the mouth, which made Emma, ​​who had been forced to eat bread, let out a satisfied sigh:

"too delicious!"

"Mrs. Merck's craftsmanship is the most famous in our apartment," Barry said.He looked at Emma sitting in front of him eating turkey, and he was still in a daze.

This scene is so beautiful.

It is the appearance that can make the Flash who keeps running stop and sit peacefully at home.

"Barry?" Emma asked suspiciously. Just now, Barry had been staring at her for a long time. "Why don't you eat?"

"Oh... oh." Only then did Barry reflect, and he took a bite of the chicken.While the chicken was tender and juicy, Barry had other, bigger things on his mind—

"Emma..." Barry stammered, "Just now you were at the door and said you were...I..."

The man who usually speaks fast and has the fastest brain sounds like a knot.Emma saw Barry's embarrassment, and she put down her hand holding the fork.

"I said you're my boyfriend, after all we live in the same apartment now," Emma said.

Ah, Barry thought in despair, so it is.

Couples are indeed the best explanation.

"But", Emma looked at Barry, her brown eyes like a deer looked at Barry's blue eyes like lake water. "Barry, you're different to me."

"I don't know when it started, but for you, I don't trust like CAP or Clint, nor do I care about Peter, only you, Barry, you are different..."

The girl bit her lower lip tightly, she hesitated, her face was a little red, but her eyes were bravely staring at Barry.

Barry Allen.Barry thought, if you don't say something, you're not a man anymore.

"Emma".Barry walked over and sat in a corner beside Emma's sofa. "You know, I'm The Flash, a member of the Justice League. My other identity, Barry Allen, is a policeman in Central City.

These two identities expose me to various dangers every day.I'm not throwing away either identity, which means my family may not be able to live a normal life.I might not have been a good choice, but, even then—”

"I still want your love." Barry Allen said firmly. "I am willing to protect you for the rest of my life. I hope to be with you forever."

"Barry," Emma said softly, and she put her hand on the back of Barry's. "Me too."
