The Flash: West-Allen Family Recreations: Love Struck By Lightning

Love Struck By Lightning

Special thanks to AgentofDreams989 for inspiring me to do my own recreations! Thank you!

This is a scene recreation of Barry and Iris' Renewal Ceremony from the Season Seven Finale (part two of an absolutely amazing finale, maybe my favorite in the Arrowverse!). It was so heartfelt and sweet, and came on top of all the greatness from the rest of the episode to drop in a beautiful eye watering West-Allen moment (that even included Nora, Bart, and a song!!!) that was so great I knew I wanted to write one of these from the moment I watched it.

The first little bit is technically a deleted scene with Iris and Nora, where the latter gives a heartfelt gift to her mom on her big day, but to me it's so sweet and amazing that I think it should've been left in the episode in the first place. I hope all of you enjoy the recreation of Barry and Iris' Renewal Ceremony! (aka a true wedding for them that isn't about Olicity lol)

West-Allen Apartment,

Iris felt her makeup brush gently glide across her skin as she carefully applied her eyeliner, still wearing her short flowered robe until it was time to get into her special dress. She was eager to try and make everything look as perfect as possible for her and her husband's big day, and if she was being honest with herself, a little bit nervous too.

" I don't care if we're already married, he means everything to me. Like I do to him. And there's nothing we won't do for each other." she thought, as she watched herself apply another stroke onto the right side of her face this time, using the oval shaped mirror on the nightstand she was sitting at to watch her efforts.

As she was doing this though, her eyes suddenly flashed a vibrant glowing green, a searing headache shooting through the West-Allen's mind.

" Not these again." Iris thought as she groaned quietly, her hand quickly jumping to her temple to feel the place the pain was searing through.

A loud, ear splitting noise seemed to fill her head as her vision got blurry, the reporter taking several slow breaths as she waited for the episode to pass.

And then as if on cue, her daughter, Nora, came into the room, the throbbing pain dissipating for the time being.

I need to make sure to keep up those treatments with Deon.

" Hey mom," Nora smiled, as she walked over to her mother.

" Hey, what's up?" Iris smiled back, happy to see her daughter. Something that she had been feeling since the moment that she and her brother had come to 2021.

" So, I was thinking, I know this is more of a casual thing at Grandpa Joe's," Nora started, as she came to a stop next to the mirror that her mom was using.

" Yeah, Barry and I are already married we are just, recommitting to each other." Iris said, as she put on the last touches of her pink lipstick in her dressing mirror, before turning to Nora.

" Right but, even if it is just our Flash family, a little extra future bling couldn't hurt." Nora replied, as she slowly opened the rectangular jewelry box she was holding, to reveal a blue jeweled necklace hanging around a silver chain, its beautiful form resting against a velvet blue piece of foam.

" Wow, it's beautiful." Iris marveled in awe, as she looked at the present that her daughter was presenting her.

" Where did you get it?"

" From you, on my sixteenth birthday." Nora smiled widely, as she happily rolled her head on her shoulders.

" I've had it for like a decade but it's from the future so if you wear it you'll have something old, something new, something borrowed, and something blue all at once." she finished happily, with a slight hint of the ramble that she normally carried with her sneaking into her voice, the appreciation and love in Iris' eyes already telling Nora that it was perfect.
