S. 2 Hazel looked from Cisco to Iris to Joe " You don't get it do you ?" they looked at her " What ?" She scoffed " Yes Barry is the flash and yes he is a hero .. the Flash is a hero but do you ever stop to think of Barry in this situation. Joe.. Iris you've known Barry for 15 years.. longer . The Guilt and the pain he's feeling isn't just going to go away. " The brunette crossed her arms over her chest " Eddie sacrificed himself so did Ronnie. But Barry when he looks at this situation he doesn't feel like the hero because 2 men died to save this.. " She bit her lip " He created the singularity because none of you gave him the cold hard facts you all just want him to be happy which isn't bad but people die , you lose family they come and go not accepting that got Barry into this mess. but none of us helped him clean it up so now he won't let us. " Speech over with she turned and walked away.
" Hey " She watched his head snap up and pause at her arrival. Barry bit his lip " Here to - " " No, I'm not here to .. " she laughed " I'm here because .. my brother's um he's adoption came through and the mother gave birth " Barry frowned " I.. don't understand.. why are you tell me this ?" Hazel stepped forward biting her lip " because.. I want you to come with me to the hospital so.. you can meet Henry " Green eyes widened " H-Henry ?" She grinned " yeah.. Henry Christopher Meyers 6lbs 11 oz. 21 in. long beautiful baby boy so please. " Barry swallowed shoulders deflating " okay " She squealed jumping forward to hug him, Barry caught her easily around the waist " Thank you " He rolled his eyes before flashing out of the building, they came to sudden stop out of the Hospital. Walking in she gasped when strong arms engulfed her but Hazel only laughed softly gripping her brother back,
" Benji.. this is Barry" The taller man with the olive skin stepped back his brown eyes moving to the man in the doorway " Hi, come in . I'm Ben " he offered a hand which Barry took " thanks..." Hazel bit her lip watching waiting then suddenly Christian turned " Oh.. Barry this is Christian my husband " Green eyes widened and his eyebrows went up but he still smiled at the man who without a thought reached over and settled the newborn into his sister-in-law's arms " here you go " Hazel's body tensed up and she held the infant carefully " Where's Cherry ?" her voice was soft and Christian hummed watching Barry step up behind the petite woman. " She has two other deliveries tonight, lots of paperwork . " Barry swallowed thickly staring at the baby " Haz.. said his names Henry ?" Ben smiled " yeah.. its the doctor that helped deliver all three of us.. Henry Allen " Barry's eyes widened and he was staring at Hazel " you knew ?" Hazel looked up at him " yeah.. I knew " she looked back down to the infant leaning in and kissing his forehead " you will be an amazing little boy and an incredible man Henry Meyers. " the baby boy gave a whine then a coo before settling, Hazel turned looking up at Barry " go on " the man swallowed staring down at the infant then slowly reached to rub his finger on the infants soft skin then leaned in and placed his mouth where Hazel's was to leave a kiss of his own. Hazel smiled slowly looking at her brother " Barry.. is Henry's son, Barry Allen " Ben blinked looking at Barry " oh.. wow"
She handed baby Henry to her brother before turning to Barry " okay ?" he nodded clearing his throat " yeah. " Hazel took his hand looking at her brothers " I'll come over.. call me if you need anything " Ben smiled " of course " they kissed cheeks before Hazel walked Barry out of the hospital. It was quiet as they walked Barry too involved with his thoughts to want to run, Hazel made it all the way back to her apartment before Barry came out of it. She smiled " was that okay ? or .. " He nodded " yeah.. no that was.. I needed that."
Hazel looked at the others while Caitlin spoke then Iris responded . She felt sort of out of it but enough to understand that Caitlin thought he was telling the truth and that Barry was suspicious. Watching Barry put Jay in the pipeline she thought it was odd that he was familiar yet a complete stranger to her.
Hazel felt her body tensed standing besides Barry who was of course very much against Jay and she had to agree but the others seemed to not understand . It was Iris that seemed to somehow talk Barry into giving Garrick a chance which.. pissed her off. She thouroughly refused to accept Jay keeping quite the distance between them . As days passed into weeks and weeks into months Hazel gave him a wide berth and unfortuantely the others noticed specifically Barry and Cailtin. Cait who seemed to be taken by the man which.. Hazel definitely had a problem with, but she kept her mouth shut. Barry caught her arm on the way out of the cortex " hey.. can we talk " she wished her powers worked on him, but with Barry's speed her electric - lightning powers were basically canceled out since his body only absorbed it. Hazel sighed " Barry- "
" please ? it'll be quick " She bit her lip " fine, what is it ?" Barry looked down the hall and swerved them away down a different hall leaning back against the concrete wall " Whats your problem with Jay ?" She scoffed " problem ? you mean the smae one you had till Iris some how convinced you to ignore your instincts ?"
Barry tensed " Hazel - " " No ! Caitlin.. you, Cisco .. all of you are some how ignoring everything that's happened in the last year. We dealt with a man who betrayed all of us while helping both us with the powers he gave us .. on Purpose. And on top of that he took away people we love. Yes Jay isn't Wells or Thawne whatever but he could be like Hannibal Bates or Snart or any of the bad people that we've dealt with their is no solid tangiable proof, proof you can analyze or hold in your hand. Yes he's probably from a different Earth since their is no Jay Garrick on ours and yes he knows about the helmet but that doesn't prove anything except that he lives on Earth 2 " Barry stared at her opening his mouth but apparently wasn't finished "On top of that what does it matter ? He's a stranger who comes and goes as he pleases. And it took him 6 months to find everything out ? really? We both know that if you lost your speed regardless you could've figured something in quicker then 6 months. No offense but Your not exactly great at keeping The Flash a secret hell nearly everyone in our close knit knew besides Iris. The way you act whenever anyone brings up the alter ego isn't exactly subtle. Once you or I is figured out everything else is easy just look at how Hartley figured it all out. " Barry sighed " Hazel.. I can't .. We can't always be so .. closed off - " " Yes.. we can After everything in our normal lives happened then becomeing Metahuman superheroes I think being on guard is never a bad idea, we've been double crossed enough. I will not be delusional enough to suddenly trust a total stranger because 'once upon a time he had powers' I don't trust him, I don't like him.. and honestly.. I can't do this anymore. "
