This commit resolves an issue where flexible arithmetic methods (e.g., add, sub) on a pandas.Series backed by an ExtensionArray did not correctly handle the fill_value parameter. Previously, the _flex_method failed to apply the fill_value to missing data before performing the operation, leading to unexpected NotImplementedError or incorrect results. This behavior was inconsistent with Series backed by NumPy arrays.

The fix adjusts the logic in Series._flex_method to properly substitute missing values with the provided fill_value prior to executing the arithmetic operation on the ExtensionArray. This ensures consistent and predictable behavior across different Series types.
