After about 15 minutes of silence, Barry finally broke it with a hesitant "Hey!" He said awkwardly

"It's really rare that we get a chance to be alone like this, isn't it? I mean... on a shared mission! Of course!" Barry attempted a friendly smile, but it faltered as he realized how forced it seemed. He nervously rubbed the back of his neck, his embarrassment evident. "Oh my god, what did I just say?" he muttered under his breath

You had been assigned the task of guarding the watchtower, a duty typically solitary and uneventful. Yet, for some reason, Barry had enthusiastically volunteered to join you on this mission. Despite both being members of the Justice League, you hadn't interacted much before. But perhaps, you thought, having company was better than being alone in the watchtower.
