Request// @theulimatefangirll I saw the Quicksilver and Flash headcanon and had to beg you to turn it into a one shot
Summary: Peter Maximoff meets Barry Allen in central city when the Star Labs team needs help defeating Meta Humans in their city, the Reader is dating Peter Maximoff. This is set in an AU, so forget time periods 🙂
A/N: Also sorry I didn’t know how to title this without making it sound weird XD
“The fastest man alive,” Peter huffed with a laugh, “ya I’m sure he is,” he added sarcastically.
“Peter,” you spun on your heel to face the silver haired, speedster, “please try to be pleasant, this is our first time meeting Barry so lets attempt to make a good impression, okay?” You raised an eyebrow at him and reached out to straighten his silver jacket.
You and Peter had been together for a few moths, a great few months, and in light of the recently rapidly expanding meta human population in central city, The star labs team, including Barry himself had reached out to Charles for help. They weren’t mutants, but Charles Xavier was never one to stand by while others were in danger and so he sent you, who he allowed to stay at the mansion as a sort of assistant for him, to travel to Central City and talk with the team, to find the root of the problem and what the details of the situation were before deploying further help. Peter, being the nosey pain in the ass he was heard the words “fastest man alive” and decided he had to come, not to race this other speedster he said, but because you might need back up. And because you were dating, and actually loved having him around, you convinced Charles to allow him to tag along.
Now, standing right outside the entrance to Star Labs, and reading that signature smirk on Peter’s face, you were beginning to regret that decision. “Seriously Peter, we’re here on official business, not to host a who’s faster competition,” you shot him a warning glance.
“Never said I was,” he kissed the top of your head, “I’ll behave I swear,” he smiled unconvincingly at you. Feeling a nervous knot in your stomach, you pressed the buzzer signaling your arrival, because it was too late to turn back now. A moment later the doors in front of you were pulled back revealing a tall girl with light brown hair, Caitlin Snow, you recognized her instantly from the pictures Charles had showed you before you left. In fact, He had briefed you on the entire team.
“(Y/N)?” She smiled at you and you nodded to confirm her assumption.
“Nice to meet you,” you shook her hand.
“Same goes for you, you don’t know what a relief it was to hear back from Charles thanks so much for coming, if you follow me we can head up to the lab, Cisco and Barry are already waiting.” She spoke quickly, a little nervously, you couldn’t even imagine what their city must be facing, and Barry was just one guy.
“Oh,” you quickly added to the conversation, “this is Peter.” Peter gave Caitlin a wide grin and small wave.
“Sup.” She laughed at his informal greeting.
You followed her, Peter by your side as she turned heading to the elevator. It was a short ride and walk down a long hallway before you finally faced the entrance to the lab, doors already propped open revealing Cisco and Barry studying a map behind a desk.
“Guys, they’re here,” Caitlin cleared her throat gesturing towards you and Peter. Both guys quickly hopped on their feet Cisco shaking your hand and Barry flashing you a wide grin.
“I’m (Y/N) and this is Peter,” you introduced the both of you.
“So you’re the Flash?” Peter suddenly blurted out.
“In the flesh,” Barry laughed.
“Wait,” Caitlin was suddenly staring at Peter, her eyes wide, “is he a mutant?” She looked at you and then to Peter “are you a mutant?”
“Quicksilver,” He gave her a proud grin. You internally groaned, this was about to get very competitive, very quickly.
“Quicksilver,” Cisco repeated back the name to himself, “now that’s a great name, I gotta write that one down.”
“Quick-you’re a speedster too aren’t you?” Caitlin said piecing it together. Shit, you thought to yourself.
“No way,” Barry laughed.
“Oh my God, you guys have to race,” Cisco said immediately.
“Right, yes, that would be sick because like you’re the fastest man alive, but are you because who knows, who knows unless we race,” Peter’s spoke quickly, you knew his thoughts went a mile and often times his words did too when he was excited.
“I don’t know if-” you started.
“You’re on,” Barry interrupted you.
“But-” you tried again, only to be talked over by Peter this time,
“Right now? Where to?” He was smirking confidently.
“This is amazing, I’v never met a mutant, I wonder how similarly you and Barry’s powers run?” Caitlin was still struck by the entire situation. You knew you couldn’t stop this, this race, competition was bound to happen, you could see the look on both Barry and Peter’s face one of excitement and determination, they were eager to see who would win. Peter shot you a begging glance, and you realized you too wanted to witness this outcome, I mean how cool would it be if your boyfriend really was faster? Slowly, you returned Peter’s look with a smile of your own. Peter gave small fist pump, excited you were on board.
“Well, we could just have you two go around the building,” Cisco suggested.
“Or to the end of the block and back,” Caitlin supplied.
The Flash Vs. Quicksilver, it was not the brightest idea, that was for sure, especially considering you were here to strike a deal not a rivalry, but fuck it, is was sure as hell going to be a lot of fun.
