A few days later was the farewell party for Henry, Tina and Chloe and they were holding it at Barry and Iris's loft.

"I'm gonna miss you." Barry said as he hugged his baby sister.

"Please, you can run out to Blue Valley anytime you want and I'm sure I'll be coming back here plenty of times to help with wedding planning, since you really think I trust you to handle those arrangements and Iris can't make them all herself." Chloe said.

"Very funny." Barry said, rolling his eyes at her.

"Really though Chloe, do not be a stranger. Especially since you're going to be a bridesmaid." Iris said.

"I wouldn't miss it." Chloe promised.

"None of us will." Henry promised and Barry smiled, since that was an improvement over their original wedding, since neither of his parents had been able to attend then, but then again, the ceremony had also been crashed by parallel earth Nazis. That had certainly ruined the big day.

"And Chloe, we also want you to sing at our wedding." Barry said, since Kara had been a great wedding singer, Barry wanted his little sister to be the one who sang this time around.

"I'd love to." Chloe said, since like her brother, she was a very talented singer, but unlike Barry, music was actually her passion and she wanted to be a musician when she grew up. Having a speedster brain really came in handy, since not only did it allow Chloe to learn songs faster, it had also allowed her to learn how to play basically every instrument there was, including the guitar, both acoustic and electric, drums, piano, bass guitar, violin, cello, the triangle, she was basically a one woman band and once she learned how to, she literally could be that by creating time remnants of herself, but she wasn't dumb enough to risk bringing time wraiths on her and more importantly, her father hadn't even taught her how to time travel yet, let alone how to create time remnants.

"Great, but we just want your voice, not any of your instruments. By the way, I'm assuming that the place you bought has some room for Chloe to store all her instruments?" Barry asked his parents.

"It's an actual house with a basement that I'm already planning on sound proofing for Chloe to practice her music in." Henry said.

"I thought that you would've turned the basement into a home lab?" Chloe asked her mother.

"No, I'm just going to turn one of the bedrooms into a home office and I'm sure that the JSA base will have a lab for me to work out of when I need to and your brother can always bring me back to Central City if I want to use my old lab here." Tina assured her.

"So, will Chloe's entire bedroom be the basement or?" Barry asked.

"No, I told mom and dad that I wanted a room with a view, so I have an actual bedroom, but I'll be keeping all my music stuff in the basement so we don't get noise complaints." Chloe said and Barry nodded.

"And I've already gotten a job as a physician at Blue Valley Hospital thanks to an old contact of mine from medical school. Henry King. I think that his son is actually around Chloe's age, so maybe there will be a friendship there." Henry said.

"Can't wait." Chloe said as more of the guests arrived, in this case, Cisco and Caitlin.

"Hey, sorry we're late, I had to pull Cisco away from his lab." Caitlin said.

"Is Ronnie watching Kayla?" Iris asked Caitlin.

"Yeah, though I have to admit, with Thawne back and remembering everything, I'm still a little hesitant to let either of them out of my sight." Caitlin said.

"Okay, can we please not talk about evil speedsters tonight?" Cisco said.

"I agree. For once, let's just have a peaceful night where we're not worrying about some threat." Joe said.

"Agreed." Barry said.

"Anyways, as for why Caitlin had to pull me from my lab is because I was working a going away present for Chloe." Cisco said and Barry grinned.

"So you finished it?" Barry asked.

"Yep." Cisco said.

"Finished what?" Chloe asked as Cisco pulled something out of his pocket.

"If that's a ring, I'm only 15 years old, you're my brother's best friend and most importantly, you're not my type and way too old for me." Chloe said as Barry, Iris, Caitlin, Joe and Cecille all laughed at the look on Cisco's face.

"You're lucky I don't like seeing my inventions go to waste." Cisco said as he handed the box to Barry, who gave it to Chloe, who opened it to find a silver bracelet with a lightning bolt similar to the one on Barry's suit.

"What is this?" Chloe asked as she put the bracelet on.

"It's another form of the tech inside Barry's ring. Press the button on the side." Cisco said and Chloe nodded, her curiously piqued as she pressed the button and she was shocked as she suddenly felt her speed kick in as her silver lightning began to encompass her until she was wearing a tight and form fitting black outfit with silver lightning designs patterned all of over it and she had a similar emblem to design to Barry's, except her lightning bolt was silver, not gold like his was. Her suit was basically a black and silver female version of her brother's suit, though instead of a cowl, she wore a simple domino mask.

"So, what do you think?" Cisco asked.

"I think the only time I'm taking this thing off is when I need to shower." Chloe said and Cisco looked proud.

"Another job well done." Cisco said as he proceeded to teach Chloe how to remove the suit.

"Well, if we're giving Chloe a suit already, then I have something I want to add to it." Henry said as he sped out and returned a moment later with a very familiar helmet.

"Dad?" Chloe asked.

"Chloe, I wore this helmet when I was the Flash and now I want to pass it on to you." Henry said.

"Are you sure you don't want Barry to have it?" Chloe asked.

"No, it would clash with my suit, but I think it would look good with yours." Barry said, fully agreeing with his dad's decision.

"You're the one who's going to be on the JSA. You're the one I want to wear this helmet. Especially since there are some tricks about having it that your brother won't be able to learn." Henry said.

"Sweet." Chloe said as she took the helmet and resummoned her suit before putting the helmet on and sure enough, it definitely completed her outfit.

"How do I look?" Chloe asked.

"Like a member of the Justice Society of America. You just need a name now." Barry said.

"I already have one picked out." Henry said.

Cisco was about to protest that he was the one who came up with the names, only to be silenced by a look from Barry and Caitlin.

"What is it?" Chloe asked.

"Silver Bolt. It's the name my old sidekick had before she died years ago. I want you to have it to honor her." Henry said.

"Huh, Silver Bolt, I like it." Chloe said eagerly and Cisco couldn't deny that it was a good name.

"Okay then, I think I'll need to make some adjustments to the suit to fit the helmet into the ring, just because I think it might look suspicious if Chloe is constantly carrying the helmet around with her." Cisco said and Chloe nodded as she took off the helmet before retracting the suit and handing both the helmet and bracelet to Cisco to modify.

"Now, before we do anything else, there's one more thing I want to do before we leave." Chloe said and then she sped out of the loft and returned with a karaoke machine.

"Barry, you and I are doing a song whether you like it or not." Chloe said, much to Barry's embarrassment as everyone else began to chant for him to do it.

"Is this really necessary?" Barry asked.

"I'm your little sister, it's kind of in the rule book that I annoy and embarrass my big brother as much as possible and I needed to do it one last time, since I won't be able to for awhile." Chloe said simply.
