I know I've not said much in replies but most of the questions are answered below.

Also I am going away again tomorrow (I'm being forced to go) so I might not be able to update until Tuesday when I should be back at the latest it might be sooner. I just wanted to let you know.

Please read end notes... questions for you all to answer.


I used to love my days off as Caitlin would take the day off as well and we would both spend the day with Maddison, the three of us doing something together as a family but then Maddison started school which left just Caitlin and I then she became busier at work and it was just me, at first it was weird because I got used to having Maddison around on days off then it all went away but I've learnt how to fill the void.

Walking into S.T.A.R labs the thing I now do on my day off, I slumped into one of the chairs in the middle of the cortex and looked at the screens looking for anything I might have to deal with, a new Meta or just a simple crime which the CCPD can do with help on. Looking over towards Caitlin's lab only to see its empty makes me wonder where she is, the plan was to take her to lunch but if she's already gone then that's my plan ruined but then again she should know that on my days off I take her to lunch, I have for years so she wouldn't have gone. She always waits for me.

"If you're looking for Caitlin then she's is Dr Morgan's lab helping her with something" Cisco walked into the cortex sipping from a large take out cup.

"I am but I'm also looking for you" I turned to face him as he sat down in the chair beside me.

"Me" he pointed to himself. "What do you need me for?"

"I was wondering if you could make the anklet lighter, Maddison complained it was to heavy" I asked hoping he could or else I'm going to be stuck because I don't want her uncomfortable with it and I can't take it off.

"Do you know how much technology is built into that, do you think they grow on trees because they don't? the basic structure of that thing is genius" he raised his hands, classic Cisco as I now refer to it as but his actions are nothing more than classic.

"I know but Maddison said it's too heavy and I told her I would ask her Uncle Cisco to make it lighter" I shot him a smile, it might be dirty and I might be using my daughter but it is for her benefit.

"I hate you Barry Allen, you know I can't resist doing something for my Mads. I see what I can do but I'll need some time, the lock only took me two weeks on the last one" he told me and I understood he wouldn't be able to do it today. Maddison will just have to battle on for a couple of weeks until Uncle Cisco comes to her rescue.

"That's all I ask and if you can't then you can explain to Maddison that you can't do it and she has to suffer" I joked knowing Cisco hates failing a task but not as much as he hates letting Maddison down.

"No pressure then" he laughed turning back to look at one of the computer screens in front of him. "You could just I don't know, tell her the truth about her powers" he kept his eyes fixed on the screen randomly clicking on things.

"She is six years old she will never understand and I can't have her running around the city, it's not safe" I shot down his terrible idea, why would I tell her about her own speed when I'm keeping mine from her.

"I'm not saying let her run around the city, bring her here and let her run around the basement" he shrugged finally giving up on his act and looking back at me.

"It's not safe and Cait wouldn't like it" I shook my head no, Caitlin would hit the roof is she knew I allowed Maddison to use her powers.

"You're her father it's not her choice it's yours" Cisco pointed a pen at me.

"And Cait is her mother"

"Not really, she didn't give birth to her"

"She might not have given birth to her and Maddison knows that but Caitlin is still her mother and always will be, she's been there since day one and loves Maddison as if she did give birth to her" I told him, Maddison knows Caitlin isn't her mother and she kind of understand that she had another mom but Caitlin is her mom and nothing will change that ever. Maddison calls Caitlin mommy, Caitlin does everything for her, when she has a nightmare she's the one who gets up in the middle of the night to make sure she is ok, Caitlin takes her to school and picks her up. She's the one who risk her life of Maddison and she loves her more than she loves me at times.

"But wouldn't it be cool to see what Mads can do?" Cisco asked and I know he's trying to talk me into taking her anklet off but it's not going to happen. I like my life to much than to risk Caitlin killing me.

"IT'S NOT GOING TO HAPPEN" I shouted back hoping he will drop the subject.

"We're going to have to study he powers at some point why not now. Just take the anklet off here so we can see what she is capable off then put it back on all the other times and it will give Mads a break from it"

"Dude it's not going to happen any time soon so just drop it you're not going to convince me to do it" I shook my head standing up and pacing the length of the cortex.

"DUDE THIS IS THE PERFECT OPPORTUINTY TO SEE WHAT MADDISON CAN DO AND WE SHOULD TAKE IT AND YOU KNOW I'M RIGHT" he followed after me shouting as if that will get his point across.

"Let's get one things straight, the only person who is allowed to tell me what to do is my wife and occasionally Maddison"

"I'm just saying now is the perfect time to see what she is capable off, is her speed like yours is she slowly or faster?" he grabbed me by the shoulder shaking me lightly.

"That's not the point, it's not safe" I shook my head, removing his hands from my shoulders.

"She isn't like you, you were given your powers by the accelerator whereas Maddie was born with them so she is different and we don't know if it's better or worse. You said she isn't happy with the anklet so this will give her a break from it while we study her"

"Cisco my daughter isn't an experiment that we can study, she is my daughter who just so happens to have powers because of me. If I could I would take her powers away" I admitted having spent many night sat on the edge of her bed watching her sleep, I make a list in my head of what I would give in exchange for having the ability to take Maddison's powers away to the point where I would give mine up to take it away - anything to keep my little girl safe.

"Dude like it or not your daughter is going to be a hero one day just like you"

"AND YOU THINK I WANT THAT FOR HER, DO YOU THINK I WANT HER FIGHTING META HUMANS?" I snapped the thought of allowing Maddison to run face on into danger isn't something I'm comfortable about. If Cait worries about me then what would she be like with Maddison?

"Calm down, you might not like it but it's a choice she might make in the future. Just like you chose to become The Flash"

"And that is why we keep her powers secret so she doesn't chose this life"

"I'm not telling you to make this decision now, just think about it and if you decided now is time then it will be freaking awesome I mean I have so many questions"

"Such as?" I raised my eyebrow with curiosity, what kind of question does he have that he needs answers for?

"For a start what colour lightening will she have? Will it be yellow like yours or red like reverse flash or something different? What colour suit will she want? Is her speed the same as yours, slower or faster just not name a few" he continued mumbling to himself no doubt more questions he wanted answers to. "I mean I could make her a pink on but isn't that a bit sexist I mean she's a girl but it doesn't mean she wants a pink suit"

"If I agree to think about it can we drop this subject?" I asked no longer wanting to talk about it.

"That is all I ask" he jumped on the spot as if he had won the argument and he's gotten his way and I'll allow Maddison to use her powers.

"All you asked of who" Caitlin walked into the cortex with a beaming smile on her face.

Flashing over to her I wrapped my arms around her waist and pressed my lips to her "Cisco wants us to allow Maddison to use her powers" I told her knowing if I was to make to think about Maddison starting to use her powers under supervision then it's a topic we will discuss together as a couple and as her parents.

"Do not let him bully you, he's been going on to me for weeks about it" Caitlin pointed her finger at me, her warning to ignore what Cisco had to say on the matter.

"Lunch?" I asked her wanting to change the subject.

"Sounds good, let me grab my things" she pressed her lips to my cheek before untangling herself from my arms and almost skipping into her lab.

"And I'm going to go call Hayley and see what she is doing" Cisco turned and left the cortex. Shaking my head I looked over towards Caitlin's lab and watched her as she gathered her things.

I don't know what is going on with Caitlin lately which is strange because I know everything about her and what she is thinking but she almost has a spring in her step for some reason but I know she will tell me whatever she is hiding from me when she is ready, the one thing we don't have in the marriage is secrets because we already have enough secrets to keep from everyone else in the city without having them between us.


Do you think Barry and Cait will allow Maddison to use her powers?

If so what colour lightening do you think she will have (secret I know)

Sorry for any mistakes I tried my best to correct them all.
