BarryxEddie

The funeral

They were in S.T.A.R labs and Evil Wells (Reverse Flash(Eobard Thawne)) was about to kill Barry, when all the sudden, there was a gunshot. BANG!!!! Evil Wells looked over, Iris was laying on the ground bleeding out and Eddie was standing next to her body. His knees wobbled and he fell. He started bolling. Barry looked to Evil Wells, he was fading. He was being erased from the timeline.

"Iris!" shouted Barry. "No! Why?! How!?" Barry zoomed over to Iris and Eddie. Eddie was holding Iris in his arms. "He was related to her, so if she dies, so does Eobard." Eddie looked up to Barry. "I'm so sorry. I messed it all up." Barry stared at him. "No, you didn't." He wrapped him up in a hug. "You didn't, I promise." The two sat there crying. Joe ran in and screamed. "IIIIRRRRIIIISSSS!!!!!!!" Eddie looked at him. "I-I'm so sorry, I couldn't save her." Joe said nothing and ran to Iris. "Joe, I'm sorry." Barry put a hand on his shoulder, tears streaming down his eyes.

It was time for Iris's funeral and Barry was tying his tie. Eddie walked in. "Can't you use your superspeed to tie that?"

"I guess I could, but I don't think it's the time."

"Yeah. It's not the time to go fast. Umm, can I ask you a question that you don't have to answer?"

"Sure, I'll probably answer anyway though."

"Was it your dad or Evil Wells who killed your mom?"

"Evil Wells did. But I don't think my word's enough to free my dad."

"You uh, you need help with that tie? No offense, but that looks awful."

"Yeah, thanks."

Eddie walked to Barry and properly tied his tie. The two walked out to the crowd of people and found Joe. Joe was very sad. The three made their ways to the funeral and found their seats. Joe sat in the middle of Barry and Eddie. Cisco sat next to Barry with Caitlin on the other side of him. The funeral went on for a long time. But eventually it was Joe's turn to speak. "Iris was my baby girl. She was so sweet, though she could also be a bit of a bratt. I miss her though..." Then Barry spoke. "Joe's right, she was a bratt, but she was my bratt. And she was my sister. I'll always miss her." Then Eddie. "We were gonna get married. But uh....I was also second guessing myself. I mean, she was the biggest bratt to ever exist, though she tried to hide that from me, I figured it out. She always complained about me smiling too weird, but she also said she loved my smile. But, I think I shouldn't have hesitated, and now, because of me, she's gone." Eddie walked back to his seat, his eyes filled with tears. Barry looked down at his feet for most of the funeral. He had thought about saying how he felt about Iris, but decided against it considering Eddie was going to marry her. And the fact that they were basically SIBLINGS.

As everyone walked back to their cars after the burial, Barry found Eddie. "Eddie, it's not your fault. It's mine. I-I should've done more. I should've protected her. I'm so sor-" "Barry." Eddie cut him off. "You did what you could. I don't blame you." Barry broke out into tears. "I feel so bad." Barry and Eddie hugged. "Barry, I feel bad too."
