Multiverse Reborn: Flash

Chapter 4

Jay grinned when he walked on to the Star Labs track and saw his nephew up and about.

"Barry." Jay said, getting their attention.

"Hey Jay." Barry said with a smile as he hugged his uncle. It still felt weird calling Jay his uncle. That would take some getting used to.

"It's so good to see you awake kiddo." Jay said.

"Jay, check this out." Barry said and before anyone else there could stop him, Barry sped out and around the course.

"Wow." Jay said.

"Yeah, since you're a scientist, we were hoping that you might be able to offer some insight on Barry's powers." Wells said.

"Well, one thing I do know is that Barry will need a new diet, since I'm pretty sure that moving that fast will burn a lot more calories." Jay said.

"He's right, we'll need to fashion Barry a completely new diet." Caitlin said.

"Anyways, Cisco, what's the status on my suit?" Iris asked, since Jay knew about Barry's powers, he might as well know about her powers as well.

"What suit?" Jay asked and Iris sighed as she ignited her hand.

"You have powers to." Jay said.

"Yeah." Iris said.

"Does your father know about this?" Jay asked.

"Of course not. Dad would freak out and probably lock me in the house if he knew. He's incredibly overprotective and I'm amazed that he even lets me and Barry date." Iris said.

"Iris, he has a right to know about your powers." Jay said.

"He's right Iris. Look, I finally have a lead on who killed my dad and I'm going to need Joe's help to clear his name. Plus, it could help to have someone with an actual badge around." Barry said, since he was still a CSI in this reality.

"So you're going to tell him about your speed." Iris asked.

"Yeah, I am. I'm not going to force you to tell him about your powers, it's your call, but I want you to think about what will happen to your relationship with Joe if he finds out that you've been keeping such a big secret from him." Barry said.

"I'll think about it. But anyways, Cisco, my suit?" Iris asked.

"It's almost done and now I need to start working on one for Barry to." Cisco said.

"I've got some suggestions for that if you're interested." Barry said.

"Really?" Cisco asked.

"I was a nerd in high school, you think I didn't dream about becoming a superhero. I've got a few ideas for my suit." Barry said.

"Let's talk." Cisco said as he wrapped his arm around Barry's shoulders and led him back inside the building.

"It sounds like Cisco may have just found a new best friend." Caitlin said, amused.

"I'm not sure if I should be happy about that or be jealous that I just lost my boyfriend for the time being." Iris said, equally amused.

"I'm sure they'll come back eventually. In the meantime, let's take the data we gathered from the tests we just finished running to better determine how to help Mr. Allen control these new abilities." Wells said and Caitlin nodded as they all headed inside Star Labs.
