Barry's pov

After a while, MJ and Ned brought me over to the side, away from my family, the original team Flash and Dr. Connors, all out of earshot. Hissing, they demanded to know what were we supposed to do now with secret yet to unfold and with Lizard Man in a high position on the team.

I wracked my brain for an answer, but came up short. "I don't know! ... Yet."

They were quick to assure me we'd figure out together and even entertained the idea of Cait and Cisco, since my high school friends and Connors were from the same city. They wouldn't even have to say they knew Spider Man. Though it was a good plan, we put it on the back burner, just in case we came up with something foolproof. Clearing her throat, my witty friend from Queens quipped, never missing a beat

"Speaking of fool, stop making a fool out of yourself and ask Iris out. She will never know unless you tell her; and even speedsters run out of time, Barry." she kept pressing the matter, but there was an emotion on her face that I couldn't quite place. I, of course, kept dodging her urges and coming up with not-so-valid excuses not to come clean; but now I actually had one. What was going on with MJ and why isn't she telling me?
