From Jinchuriki to Speedster

Chapter 9: Reverse Flash

3 Weeks Later

Joe's House

It's been 3 weeks since Naruto's rage fest, the week after he, Cisco and Caitlin had went to Starling City to help out Oliver and his team with Captain Boomerang the team up had went smoothly with no problems. After they returned to Central City, Naruto had began to train, and help out the city, he actually had no intention of finding another job, his book was doing very well, and in 2 months he'll release the second installment.

Currently Naruto was with Joe, helping him decorate the Christmas tree which was going rather slowly, handing the man another decoration, Naruto sighed

"There's only 2 boxes left." Joe said

"Seriously?" Naruto asked before in a blur he decorated the entire tree, and sat back down on the couch "There you go." he said

"OK, the only red-suited dude I want in this house right now is Kris Kringle, you got it?" Joe asked

With a groan, Naruto undid the tree and sat back down, while Joe laughed as Iris walked in with three Christmas mugs "Uh, these ornaments are not gonna hang themselves."

"Says the one whose been in the kitchen this entire time." Naruto said as he handed Joe another decoration

Iris began to hand out the mugs "Grandma Esther's recipe...Light on the bourbon."

"Oh, yes." Naruto said taking his mug

"Mmm. I always loved her definition of light." Joe said sipping his mug, before his phone rung "And the Christmas tradition continues." he said missing Iris' blush as she glanced to a grinning Naruto "Detective West...Yeah? All right." hanging up he looked to Iris and Naruto "Sorry, kids, the D.A. wants to ask me some questions. Make sure there's some nog left for me when I get back."

"We'll think about it." Naruto said as Joe grabbed his jacket and left, making to sip his mug again, Naruto looked up when Iris grabbed it, and placed it down "Iris I don't think Santa's elf should take advantage of him this year."

Iris who was turning off the T.V blushed, as around this time every year she would run upstairs and show Naruto her sexy elf costume before they would sleep together

"Shut up." Iris said before she cleared her throat and made Naruto sit on the floor with her before she grabbed two of the presents from under the tree

"Oh, come on, we're doing this already? Christmas isn't for a few days." Naruto said

"I couldn't wait any longer." Iris said before she handed Naruto her present "Here." suddenly she snatched it back "Oh, wait, me first."

"Okay." Naruto said with a smile watching as Iris opened her gift before she pulled out a necklace with a ring

"My mother's wedding band?" Iris asked in surprise

"A replica, yeah." Naruto lied having searched the entire zoo for the real one, and cleaned it up "You were devastated when you lost the real one."

"Our field trip to the zoo." Iris said

"You cried for weeks." Naruto remembered, before he grabbed it "Here."

Iris turned around so Naruto can put on the necklace, she looked back when he clasped it on her neck to see he had a soft smile on his face, as he sat back "I don't know what to say."

Naruto smiled as Iris brought him into a hug, Iris held Naruto tightly as she took light whiffs of his scent, before he pulled back "My gift so sucks in comparison"

"No way." Naruto said before he opened it to see it was a microscope

"It's supposed to be the best one on the market." Iris explained as Naruto looked at it with a raised eyebrow "I thought you could maybe use a new one...It's lame, I know."
