Joe had adopted Delaney as an infant and cared for her as his own. In school, Iris, Barry and Delaney were best friends. Barry always found himself in love with Delaney but thought she didn't return the favor. Delaney, on the other hand, was in love...
A/N: Some parts of this chapter will have mentions of abuse and domestic violence so I here's a trigger warning beforehand
Iris has not given up on writing about Barry and I's alter ego's. He and Iris had a fight a few nights ago so they aren't on speaking terms. It's hard having my sister and my...whatever Barry is to me now... not speaking. Oh yeah, Barry and I are kinda together...I think... I don't know, We haven't really defined it. But enough about that, I know you're here for the heroics. Barry and I got word that there was a police chase happening right now so Barry and I were headed there now.
Dad and Eddie blocked off the street thinking that the guy would stop. There is a kid walking in the street not paying attention so Barry runs in and whisks the kid to safety before running back to me. The car keeps going and Dad and Eddie barely jump out of the way in time for the guy to slam through the police cars. We noticed that he was heading towards a fence so Barry sped me in front of it. As the car got close enough, I used my scream to make the car slam to a halt.
Barry looked at the driver, "Step out of the vehicle!", he yelled. The guy looked at us with a smug look, "If you say so", he got out of the car and Barry looked nervous. The guy yanked off his car door like it was nothing and Barry and I exchanged a look like we were in trouble. He threw the door towards both of us but Barry pulled us out of the way.
Barry went towards him and went to punch him but I saw the man's face turn to metal and Barry's hand touched it, breaking his hand. Barry crouched over in pain holding his hand. The man made a fist with his hand turning it to solid metal before reaching behind him and punching Barry. I gasped in shock as Barry went flying over the hood of the car. The man looked at me, "Your turn, sweet cheeks?", he asked me smirking and stalking closer to me. I screamed at him and thankfully he held his ears in pain, giving Barry enough time to recover and grab me, running us to STAR labs.
When we get to the lab Barry collapses on the ground. I run over to him ripping off both of our masks. I see his lip is bloody and he has a black eyes, but I'm sure those aren't the extent of his injuries. I hold his face trying to wake him up, "Oh God, Barry. Wake up, come on, Wake up". I hear footsteps coming towards the cortex and I look up, "Help! Please!", I yell to whoever it is. Seconds later Cisco and Caitlyn run in and see Barry laying on the floor.
Caitlyn looks at me as they run over to us, "What happened?", she asks me. I look at her, "The guy we were chasing, he did this to Barry. He could turn into metal or something", I told her as we got Barry onto the hospital bed in the room to treat him. I thought back to the man and couldn't help but wonder why he seemed so familiar.

After Barry woke up, Caitlyn was still treating his fractures. He no longer had on his suit and was in a pair of sweatpants and a tank top. I had also changed out of my suit.

She was fixing the splint around his hand to fix the bones back in place, "13 fractures. That's a new record, and that's just in your hand. You also have a concussion, three cracked ribs, and a bruised spleen. Even with your powers, you'll need a few hours to heal", Barry nodded at the doctor. I sighed and looked at them, "That guy was no joke. Like I said before, he could turn his body to metal or something. The only reason I'm not hurt is because my scream worked on him", I told them all. Dr. Wells looked at us, "Interesting. A man of steel", he mused and I looked concerned by his enthusiasm. Cisco looked at Barry and I, "Why did you two go after a Meta-human alone? Why didn't you call us?", he asked worried for his friends. I sighed, "Sorry Cisco. It was just a last minute thing that my dad called us for".
