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...
Barry and I had just gotten back to the lab after catching some criminals that seemed to have an affinity for cards. I smiled as Barry highfived Cisco, "Another one for the books", I laughed. Dr. Wells looked at us, "Efficiently done, Mr. Allen, Ms. West". Cisco gets an idea, "We need a picture", he says running to grab his phone. Barry and I share a look, "I'm pretty sure rule number one of having a secret identity is not taking pictures of yourself in your supersuit without a mask on", Barry points out to our long haired friend.
"Oh come on please", Cisco begs. I laugh and look at Barry, "Come on Bare, it's not like he's going to post it everywhere", I look at Cisco, "Right?". He salutes me, "No ma'am", making me roll my eyes. Dr. Wells looks at us, "Who knows? Maybe people in the future will want to know how all of this happened". Barry smiled, "Well if you want to future to know the whole story, then we all need to be in it". Caitlyn stands up, "First let me put on some makeup?". I look at her, "Cait, if I'm not wearing makeup, neither are you", I say pushing her towards the middle for the picture.
Cisco hands Barry the phone as we all get in position, Dr. Wells in front, Cisco and Caitlyn on either side of him and Barry and I will be in the back. I get in my spot leaving room for Barry to speed in. He sets a timer and leaves the phone in midair while he joins in right before the picture is taken, running back over to grab it before it falls. He smiles at the picture, proud of himself. "Does that count as a selfie?", Caitlyn asks.
Barry laughs, "Absolutely", he says as I walk over to see the picture. It turned out pretty well but I laugh as I see that in the picture, Barry planted a kiss on my cheek without me noticing. I roll my eyes as he gives me his goofy grin handing the phone to Cisco. I look at Barry, "Time to head home, Dad's making dinner", he laughs and nods.

We got changed and head back to the house to see Iris coming down the stairs. Barry smiles, "You do realize the whole point of moving out is not being at home anymore right?", Barry jokes. She smiles and rolls her eyes, "I just forgot a few things. So how is it living back in the house?", she asks as Barry and I take our jackets off. Dad comes out of the kitchen and smiles at us then looks at Iris, "Spaghetti a la me. You sure you don't want to stay for dinner?", he asks Iris hopeful.
She shakes her head, "Thanks but Eddie is painting all day and I swore that I'd help. Although, I'm really just going to do that thing where I get a little paint on my hair and my nose", she says. I shrug smiling innocently, "Oh well more spaghetti for me", Dad laughs. He looks at Iris, "Oh someone from Central City Picture News called you the other day--I left the number on the fridge", he remembered. She looked at him, "Why didn't you tell me?", she questions as she rushes to the kitchen. I sit down at the table while Barry stands behind me, and starts rubbing my shoulders. Dad leans in, "So I heard a few members of the royal flush gang are headed to prison", he says smiling.
We hear Iris scream from the kitchen and our heads whip over to look at her, "Is that a good scream or a bad scream?", Dad asks. After all that's happened recently, the three of us have been on edge, like a lot. She comes running to us smiling, "I just got offered a job a reporter at Central City Picture News!", she said very excited. We all smiled as Barry and Dad hugged her, "That's amazing!", Barry cheered.
