Page 4 of my Flash fanfic if Nora was Barry and Caitlin's parents. Sorry that I haven't uploaded this page yet as I've been busy with other fanfics.
Summary: Based a week after their wedding, let's see how Barry and Caitlin have been since.
Their apartment:
The day started with a beautiful sunrise to show a shadowy figure laying in bed, the figure sat up and looked out the window then slowly got up. The figure got up out of the bed and moved their long brunette hair out of their face then walked over to the wardrobe to get dressed, she moved through the clothes and picked out an ice blue knee-length dress and after she was dressed, the woman walked down the stairs and could smell something delicious.
"Morning beautiful," the woman ran down the stairs to see a smartly dressed man setting the dining table. "How did you sleep?" The light of the sun brighten to reveal the man and woman as Barry and Caitlin Allen; they were happily married and were enjoying every second they spent together.
"I spelt wonderfully," Caitlin giggled, she kissed Barry on the lips then decided to help her new husband get the table ready. "Since I lost Ronnie, I've never been truly happy but now I have you, I feel very more happy than I've ever been." Barry was happy that Caitlin was happy and he never wanted her to be sad or alone ever again.
"I'm more happy with you than I was with Iris," Barry admitted which made Caitlin blush, they both looked happy to be with each other.
STAR Labs:
Nora was in the speed lab training to see if she could go faster with Cisco monitoring her vitals, he could see that the results weren't getting any better or worse. Nora ran out of the track and sat down on the stairs and at that moment, Barry and Nora walked in and hugged their daughter.
"How is she, Cisco?" Barry asked, Cisco handed Barry the results while Caitlin and Nora had left to talk science.
"The good news is that Nora still has her speed," Cisco started but Barry knew there was bad news to come. "But the bad news is that she's starting to slow down." Barry sat down as he was more concerned about Nora's condition and how could he help her as a father.
"Is there anyway we can help Nora?" Asked Barry as he wanted to know if there was anyway he could help his daughter get her speed back. "Like could we give her a sample of positive Tachyons to counter the negative Tachyons?" Barry suggested but Cisco shrugged his shoulders so he started running tests to see if Barry's idea could work and in the meantime, Barry went off to spend time with his wife and daughter.
Cortex:
Nora and Caitlin were talking and laughing after they had finished talking about Nora's suit and name, their conversation led to talking about their relationship as mother and daughter.
"Nora, do you think I'm a good mother?" Asked Caitlin, Nora could tell that her step-mother was nervous as she had no experience, Nora looked up and held Caitlin's hand, she looked at her step-mother and smiled.
"You don't need experience to be a mother," Nora started which made Caitlin look up. "You just need a caring heart and help the best you can." Nora explained which made Caitlin smile. "And besides, you've been a great step-mom to me." Nora added then the two hugged and tears started falling out of Caitlin's eyes: becoming a mother was the best thing that happened to her.
"Thanks for saying that, Nora," Caitlin thanked, she had taken Nora in as if she was her biological daughter. "Now, what do you say we spend some mother/daughter time at the shopping mall?" Suggested Caitlin and Nora agreed, the two left the Cortex and made their way to the elevator.
CCPD:
Barry had left STAR Labs and headed over to the CCPD, he decided to get back to work and catch up on files he hadn't finished but he wanted to check in with Joe and see how everything was doing. Barry could see that Joe was writing something as he got closer, the speedster tapped Joe on the shoulder and the response was a hug.
"It's great to see you back, Barr," Joe welcomed which made Barry smile, he looked around and could see that nothing had changed. "It's been quiet without you but now you're back, it's going to be like nothing had ever happened." Barry nodded in agreement, he was happy to be back at work.
"Thanks Joe, it's great to back," Barry smiled, he was just about to walk away when he turned back around to face Joe. "Me and Caitlin were going to have dinner and were wondering if you wanna join us?" Barry offered, Joe looked sad then looked at Barry.
"Me and Cecile had plans but I'm sure we can rearrange and join you two," Joe suggested, Barry sat in the chair next to Joe's desk and gave him a little smile.
"If you and Cecile had plans then I don't want you to rearrange them," Barry told his adopted father, he smiled at him. "Go with her, we can do a rain check." Barry suggested and Joe nodded.
"Okay, that's good with me, Barr." Joe hugged Barry and pushed to indicate that he had work to do, Barry laughed then walked off to get his work finished in the lab.
Later that day, city streets:
After a long, tiring day in the office, Barry and Nora decided to go for a run and they were having fun. Along with having fun, Barry was teaching how to run and phase through solid objects and throw lightning and Barry could tell that Nora was a natural at it. Each time Nora failed, she got up and kept on trying to be as good as her father. They were in an abandoned warehouse district to train out of the public's' view and used to damaged equipment as targets, Nora was trying to throw lightning but nothing was happening.
"Never give up, Nora. I know you can do it!" Cheered Barry, Nora smiled like her father's words were giving her the strength and speed to keep on trying. After hours of attempts, Nora threw a streak of lightning and it hits several empty oil drums, Barry clapped his hands and hugged his daughter. "You did great, XS." Congratulated Barry, Nora smiled when she was called her codename by her father.
"Thanks for supporting me, Dad." Nora smiled, she rubbed her hands together as if she was ready to try something else. "What's next? Running on water? Running and phasing at the same time?" Barry was impressed that Nora wanted to continue training so he got ready for the next test.
"We're going to try phasing while running at the same time," Barry told his daughter, Nora nodded. Barry pointed at a warehouse to indicate that was their target. "Remember: breath in and out at a calm pace, focus on what you want to achieve." Barry advised, Nora nodded then began to take deep, slow breaths and got ready to run. "Go!" Shouted Barry and in a flash, XS had ran and began to vibrate faster than ever before, Nora vibrated through the walls and came out the otherside without a scratch.
"I did it!" Cried Nora, Barry ran over to his daughter and hugged her, he was was proud how far Nora had come since she first arrived in 2018. Barry looked at Nora with a big smile.
"Let's do more tomorrow but for now, what do you say to some cookie dough ice-cream?" Barry suggested and that made Nora smile. "Race you to Mason Family Ice Cream Shop!" And with that, Barry and Nora raced towards Rhode Island for ice-cream.
