Seven weeks after Y/n fell through the portal

Y/n pov

"Breakfast is ready" Joe calls me down from the kitchen. Me and Barry open the doors at the same time and only one glance tells me that we're racing. But i'm still father than him even without using speed, and Iris behind us.

"Thanks Joe" the two of us say in union as we sit down at the table. Joining in on the food.

"You know, it's kinda nice to have another woman around" Iris says, also joining in as Joe's phone starts to ring and he excuses himself.

"I get it, at home there's only three girls and like six men"

"Could you tell us more about them? Like your wife, where did you have your wedding and when?" Barry asks and i laugh, drinking some coffee.

"I guess she has similar traits to you and Cait actually, on the outside at least"

"What's she like on the inside?" i can't help but think that question wrong and Iris can see what i though as i chose on bread, making her laugh.

"A real badass, nice when you get to know her. And would do anything for the ones she loves, like you" i answer with a laugh of my own. "She is perfect and she's the most lovable human you'll ever meet, through the cold exterior"

"Why the sad face?" Wally asks and i had forgotten he was even there. I have to censor my words with him around, Barry's orders.

"I had a huge fight with her before my accident, i had kept something secret that i shouldn't have and she said she regretted marrying me" i answer him with a sad smile as i realise that she'll think that would be her last words to me ever if i don't come back. But i try to seem more happy than i actually am as Joe comes back into the room.

"Why did you leave?" Wally asks.

"The accident, can't go back until i've healed" i answer quickly and then gets saved by Joe from any more questions i don't know how to answer.

"Sorry, got to go, there's been a breakin at the lab"

"Was anyone hurt?" Wally asks and Joe shakes his head,

"No, but the perpetrator is still there so i need to go" he says walking out the door.

"You should go" Iris says to Barry and he looks at me.

"Race you there?" i say with a smirk.

"Only if you wanna lose?"

"Are you gonna run or take a car, cause Barry doesn't own a car?" Wally asks and we're reminded once again that he's there.

"Running, we found a shortcut so we don't have to run through midcity" i say as we both get up and run out the door, leaving the siblings there. As soon as we're both out, we race away. I slow down to his pace or else i would have to stand there and wait for him. On my way out we grabbed out suits that were stashed under the house porch. The suit, signed by Cisco of course, slides on as we run. It's similar to the one Tony had made, just a few upgrades.

"Look, it's Flash and Ace" someone screams in the crowd and i kinda like my new name. It only took like two days of helping Barry, cause i feel like i need to something in return. Then i had gotten by own name by the CCPN, or by Iris who published about the new hero in town. As everyone see we're there they start to take pictures or try to talk to us but we just speed over to the police standing on the other side of the yellow tape.

"They still in here?" i ask them and they nod.

"We have inside footage" one of them says and i tell them to show it to me, so he runs away to collect it.

"Is someone still in there?" Barry asks worried out of his damn mind if the team is still in there.

"Not that we know off, but if you could follow me i could show you the footage that should be ready now" we both follow the police officer to an open van where there are almost as much tech as in the cortex. They pull up the footage of a man walking around in the cortex. He has long black hair like Cisco and his weird clothing, kinda like... oh shit.

"What? Do you know who it is?" Barry asks, seeing my reaction.

"Tell everyone to leave, the police and the public. No one in or out, okay" before i speed away he grabs my arm.

"Be careful" is all he says. I was almost expecting him to at least follow me. But he stays behind, telling the officers to get everyone out of there.
