I didn't feel any different. There was no tingling feeling in my legs-though I wish there was. I didn't think I appeared different either, but the way Barry stared at me said otherwise. His jaw dropped, his mouth agape. His eyes popped out of their sockets, and his pupils seemed to dilate on command.
"What do you mean, it's working?" I asked puzzled.
"You eyes... they're like mine," He responded, his voice amplifying in intensity. His eyes swirled with the image of lightning, like a storm forming bolts of electricity; it was incredible.

"Wait," I paused, deep in my thoughts, "Your saying... that I'm like you now. I'm a speedster?"
He nodded, his lips forming a slight smile. I didn't quite know how to feel at the moment. A burning fire inside of me urged to stand up, screamed to run and do nothing else. It was like a voice in my head, mimicking the same words.
"I'm going to try to stand." He rushed by side immediately, coming to my aid. I waved him off; I wanted to try for myself-for now, at least. I wanted to prove that I was strong too, not just some wife that always needs protection. I was my own person.
I winced and grasped the gurney rails for support. My knees wobbled fiercely, and my thighs convulsed in pain. My ankles gave out, and I crashed towards the floor. Before I made contact, Barry came to my rescue, cradling me in his arms. I couldn't help it; my eyes started to water. I couldn't hide my utter disappointment.
"Iris, just wait." He rubbed my cheek, "It will work. Just give it some time."
"You know I'm not the patient type," I laughed, tears still cemented in my eyes. He brought me in for an embrace. My head rested in his arms, buried in the warmth of his chest. The chatter in my head ceased, only the humming of Barry's lullaby was audible as I drifted to a deep slumber.
Dream
"Run, Iris, run." a voice echoed in my head as I ran through the crowded streets of Central City. I was dressed in a violet and gold suit. It was bulky, consisting of reinforced tripolymer, like the type firefighters use on the field. A purple mask surrounded my eyes, bringing attention to the purple lightning raging around in my eyes. I clean emblem of a lightning blot lay clear across my chest as I swerved in and out of buildings. I was chasing after someone... A man in green. I super-speeded after him, and was horrified when I saw who he was dragging around with him: Barry.
