3rd Person POV

"Honey, breakfast is ready!" Iris' voice calls from the kitchen. "Honey. It'll get cold."

Barry Allen -- no, Oliver Queen known in this verse as Barry Allen, sits up in bed

"What?" Oliver says, confused and looking around

Oliver gets out of bed and walks into the kitchen

"Morning." Iris greets. "Look, babe, they're perfect this time."

Iris kisses him

"What if Barry walks in?" Oliver asks nervously. "What if he could have seen that? See... Where's Barry?"

"Did you get enough sleep last night?" Iris asks, putting a a plate of pancakes on the table. "Look, babe, I know that we haven't caught Cicada, but Caitlin's immunity can help us."

"Who's Cicada?" Oliver asks

"Our big bad." Iris says

"Barry, are you okay?" Iris asks

"I'm Barry?" Oliver asks, sitting down at the table

"What is wrong?" Iris asks. "Honey, hi. Talk to me."

"I... did not get enough sleep." Oliver says

"Are you... you sure it's not my cooking?" Iris asks

"No, no. These smell delicious." Oliver says

"Thank you." Iris says. "You know what? I think that you call Captain Singh and you ask for a day off. Look, with all the superhero-ing you've been doing, I think you've earned it, honey."

"You think maybe I should go into S.T.A.R. Labs?" Oliver says and Iris laughs. "What... what?"

"Only my husband would think working on Speed Force equations would be called a day off." Iris says. "I love you, Barry Allen."

"I... love you, Iris West-Allen." Oliver says

"Alright, now go wake up our daughter, please." Iris says, going back into the kitchen and putting a slice of cold pizza on a plate. "I don't want her to miss breakfast."

"D-daughter...?" Oliver whispers

Oliver stands up and starts walking

He looks back at Iris

"Unless she crawled into bed with you last night, she's in her room." Iris says, gesturing to the door

Oliver nods, turning around and walks to the door

"Daughter..." He whispers

He opens the door and steps into the room. The first thing he sees is a picture on a dresser that he picks up of a little girl in the arms of a man and a younger version of Caitlin outside of STAR Labs

"Mack..." Oliver whispers

Mack stirs in bed

Oliver puts the picture down and walks over to her

Mack turns over in bed

"Dad?" Mack asks as Oliver sits down on her bed

"Uh..." Oliver says. "Breakfast is ready..."

Mack nods, sitting up in bed

"Coming." Mack says, rubbing her tired eyes (with hands that had no broken bones)

An alarm starts buzzing

Iris runs over

"Break in at Ivo Labs." Iris says. "Cisco's on comms. I'll meet you guys at S.T.A.R. Labs." She looks at Mack. "Oh, honey, we gotta get a brush through that hair. Come on."
