My hands were shaking as I stepped nervously stepped of the train. I had never been to The Central before. I had no idea what to expect when I arrived. Where I had lived before had made me wary, and it didn't help having a brother who was ready to hop in his privet jet and show up bring me home the minute I tripped over my own feet. He was protective which was ok, I guess, maybe a little bit to protective. Though its understandable, since the accidents..... After shaking off the memories of that, I pull my phone out and called the one person who I knew in Central City. (I only use script writing when I do phone calls and texts messages)
Iris West.
Iris: Hello?
Me: Hello, and welcome to Forensics Lab, I'm your host Elisabeth Noel.
Iris: I finally made it I can't believe it!! Oh My Gosh! Barry! They returned my call.
I could hear someone chuckling In the background, and someone asking who answered the call.
Iris: What do I owe the pleasure of reviving a call from the best forensic scientist in the entire planet?
Me: Joe wants to know where you are.
Iris: So he called you.
Me: Yes. He said his calls were not going through.
Iris: oh
Me: I better call him back.
Iris: Ok. Let me know when your coming to visit.
Me: Will do bye.
After we hung up I began my search for Joe in the crowded station. Which didn't take long since I soon saw him with a Giant sign with my name on it. Smiling I ran up to Joe with my bag hitting my calf with each step.
"JOE!" I yelled. He put the sign down in time to embrace me in a hug.
"Hey stranger." He said. "It's been a long time."
"Indeed it has,Joe"
"We should get going if we are going to beat Iris home." Joe stated looking at his watch. The car ride to his house was filled with questions, laughter, and a serious conversation about my accident.
"Good she's not here!" Joe said then we rushed inside and watched a movie for a good 10 minutes before we heard Iris pull up and then I run up the stairs and waited for my cue in Joes bedroom.
"I miss Snow." I heard Iris say
"I know sweetheart."
"I got a call from her today she said that you couldn't get ahold of me."
"Yea. My phone has been strange and I'm going to take it in tomorrow." Upon hearing my cue I left the room.
"Oh that's good I guess" her back was to the stairs and I made it to the landing before I sang a song that people would sing at me.
"Oh, the weather outside is frightful But the fire is so delightfulAnd since we've no place to go Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow" I watched Iris turn around. Her eyes filled with joy and her hand covered her mouth.
"Snow?" She ask gently and approached me like a wild animal, slow and careful.
"Yea Ris, it's me." Iris stood there for a moment, then she launched forward engulfing me in a tight hug.
"How long are you staying?" She inquired
"For a very long time." She gave me a confused look as if she didn't understand.
"You live in Gotham. Your bother would never let you leave the his soft let alone the manor, how did you manage to get to central? Where are you staying? Do you have a job? If you do wear do you work? Who are you dating? Is your brother single still or do you have a sister in law? Wear is your body guard? Have you had any encounters with Batman? How about Robin?"
"Iris!" Joe said chuckling "let the girl breath" she let go of me.
"Let's go talk." Iris said before grabbing my hand and running upstairs.
"Joe! Don't let her take me! I will never make it back alive!" I hollered. I heard Joes laughter echo around the house, it brought a smile to my face.
"So..." Iris started
"So.." I copied her. She took a deep breath and then the question flowed out of her mouth.
"How did you manage to get to central? Where are you staying? Do you have a job? If you do wear do you work? Who are you dating? Is your brother single still or do you have a sister in law? Wear is your body guard? Have you had any encounters with Batman? How about Robin?"
"I don't want to talk about the first one. I have a small flat near my job. Yes I have a job. I'm a Forensic Scientist at the CCPD. I'm single. My brother is single. My body guard is no longer with us. I have met the Batman and Robin. Anything else?"
"Do you plan on dating?"
"Do you know who I got these..."
"Snow?" Iris was waving her hand franticly in front of my face.
"What sorry?" I said sheepishly
"Noel?" Iris started softly "why did you really come here."
I sighed "Iris its not something I'm ready to talk about right now." My voice was low and matched her soft tone perfectly. "Iris I'm rather tired do you mind if I go bed?" She had a look of understanding on her face
