Multiverse Reborn: Flash

Chapter 7

To everyone who's been giving me crap about having Barry proposing to Iris this soon, shut up, it's not your story, it's mine so deal with it. However, I will give you guys an explanation. The reason I'm having Barry propose to Iris this soon is because she's the same person he was already married to before crisis. Plus, in case you guys somehow missed how I mentioned it in earlier chapters, in this universe, Barry and Iris have been dating since high school, so it really isn't a rushed decision.

To those of you who did nothing wrong, I'm sorry you had to read this, but the reviewers who kept giving me crap about it (you know who you are), I hope this will finally shut you up and help you move on with your lives, since I know what I'm doing and this is my story, so please, while I don't mind a little criticism, stop just blatantly trying to tear down the ideas. I needed to get that off my chest.

And now on with the chapter.

"So, is everything okay between you guys?" Barry asked his girlfriend and her father re entered the cortex.

"Yeah, I mean, I can't say I'll ever approve of Iris or you for that matter, putting your lives on the line like this, but you're both adults and I guess I can't stop you." Joe said.

"Glad you came around. And now that Iris is back, I have something to show you both." Cisco said.

"Wait, did you already finish it?" Barry asked eagerly.

"Yep. See for yourselves." Cisco said as he led them into his workshop where he'd set up two mannequins, both of them covered by tarps.

"Iris's suit I've been working on for months, but I have to be honest Barry, I was surprised by how quickly I was able to make yours." Cisco said.

"Okay, then, just reveal them." Iris said impatiently.

"As you wish." Cisco said with a grin as he pulled the tarps off the mannequins.

Barry's suit looked identical to the one he'd been wearing when Crisis happened, which honestly made him think that Novu had something to do with it. Not that he was complaining.

But Iris's suit was brand new, since she'd never had permanent powers in the old multiverse. This suit was gold with traces of black going down the side, along with black gloves and boots and bird insignia in a black circle on the chest.

"What's with the bird on the chest?" Iris asked.

"I was thinking your superhero name could be Phoenix, since honestly, that bird is cooler than a flame." Cisco said.

"You're not wrong." Iris agreed.

"You're suit is made out of a fabric should be flame resistant, since I created the fabric keeping in mind the data we collected on the highest temperature you can reach safely, so it shouldn't burn up." Cisco said.

"And mine?" Barry asked.

"Your suit is designed to be heat and abrasive resistant so that way it won't burn up as you run. The lightning designs are because you seem to give off yellow lightning when you run." Cisco explained.

"Plus it looks cool." Barry said.

"And that." Cisco agreed.

"So, now that we've got our suits, it's time to go be heroes." Iris said.

"Wait, Barry still needs his superhero name." Cisco said.

"I was thinking, the Flash." Barry said.

"I like it." Wells said and Barry had to stop himself from saying of course he does, since after all, Thawne's alter ego's name was literally the reverse of that. The Reverse Flash.

"Still, you don't even know where to start." Cisco said.

"I think I can help with that." Joe said.

"Really, how?" Iris asked.

"Over the past few months, CCPD have been getting reports of people committing crimes with powers. People that were known to be human. CCPD has been trying to round them up, but these metas, they're too much for the police to handle. But maybe you two can." Joe said.

"Bring us the cases and we'll handle the rest." Barry said and Joe nodded.
