A few weeks later, I was discharged and I left with Joe and his daughter Iris. I felt a little uncomfortable. "So my dad tells me that you are the new girl at CCPD." "Uh yeah I'm the new C.S.I." I said quietly. "Barry Allen is the C.S.I. we have currently. You'll be working alongside him." Joe said. "He's a kind, funny, and smart kid. He just talks a lot when he's nervous." "Yeah Barry is bit awkward around new people. I hope he wakes up soon." Iris said. I quietly stared out the window.

We arrive at their house and they helped me inside. "Thanks." I said as I walked in. I didn't have any of my clothes or items beside my wallet and phone. The people who rescued me were smart enough to retrieve my wallet and my phone. Everything else was obliterated during the freak storm. "I guess sometime this week, you and I can go shopping for some clothes for you. For now, you can wear something of mine." Iris said. "No it's okay." "It's fine I have tons of clothes anyway." "It's true her closet is like her personal clothes store." Joe said in a chuckle. I smiled. "I'll show you where you'll be staying." Iris said. I followed Iris slowly up the stairs. She showed me the room I will be living in. It was already furnished. "Well I am across the hall, Barry will be to the right of you, and the bathroom is to the left of you." Iris said as she gazed at the room I only assumed to be Barry's. "He'll be okay." I said. 

A couple of months passed and Barry was moved to STAR Labs. I worked my new job. I made good friends with Iris. I walked to STAR LAbs at the end of my shift and went to go see Iris. Iris and I have been taking turns watching Barry. I didn't really know Barry that much. In fact, I didn't know him at all. I was mainly here for Iris and Joe. Joe treats me like I'm one of his own kids. That's the type of guy he is I guess. I was watching Barry and felt an eerie sense  of someone walking behind me. "Hazel?" I turned around, it was my brother. "Scott?" I shut my eyes. "What?" I opened them to see Iris standing where Scott was. "Are you okay Hazel?" "Uh yeah I'm fine." "You just called me Scott." " Uh sorry I was thinking about someone." "Thanks for watching Barry." Iris said. "Your welcome hey what time is it?" "It's 3 AM. Why don't you go home and rest?" "Yeah." I said as I got up. When I got up I accidentally brushed Barry's hand and was shocked. "Ouch!" "You okay?" "Yeah I was just shocked. See you later." I said then walked home.
