Hey, guys. Back with the start of part 2 of the Gorilla City arc.

This will be more chapters than the first part of the arc. And yes, it will feature, near the end of the episode, Iris finding out about Barry and Wanda's marriage. Also, just for a bit of background. In this, Gypsy came after HR during the time Barry was stuck on Earth-99, and Team Flash was able to beat her without Barry's help.

Let's get started.

Chapter 35- Peace Disrupted

Barry grins as he looks around the Speed Lab. HR has really tried to spruce the place up for Easter.

He walks over to where Jesse and Wally are talking. He heard that they had officially gotten together while he was on Earth-2, and he couldn't be more happy for the two of them.

"I mean, HR said there would never be a perfect time to tell him," Barry hears Jesse whisper as he walks up.

"To tell your dad about you wanting to move to Earth-1?" Barry butts in. They both jump slightly and turn to him.

"Umm...yes," Jesse confesses.

Barry grins as he looks at Wally. "Come on, Wally. You're gonna have to do it eventually. The longer you wait, the more agonizing it is. You just gotta get it over with," he says.

Wally looks at Barry for a few seconds, then nods and says, "Alright." Jesse beams and drags Wally off to go tell Harry.

Barry smiles as he stares after them. Then, he realizes that statement could apply equally well to him.

He still hasn't told Iris about him and Wanda being married. His trip to Star City the previous night took longer than he expected. It took him a while to explain everything that happened to him (leaving out Wanda) and explain he still had no idea where Oliver was. Then, apparently, Cisco had messaged Felicity to tell her about Black Siren without him (Barry) knowing, and had requested she tell Oliver. Apparently, Felicity had decided she deserved to rot in the pipeline, and had not told Oliver.

That had caused a bit of a rift between her and the rest of the team. The recruits understood her wariness to a degree, but thought she should have at least told him. But, Thea and Diggle got angry with her for deciding she had the right to decide whether Black Siren gets another chance or not.

Barry had tried to calm things, saying Black Siren was staying in Central City under their watch for the time being, but things were still tense among the team when he finally left. It took him longer to leave than expected, because he stayed behind to help them round up a few bank robbers.

Upon arriving back in Central City, it was past midnight, so he decided to just crash at STAR Labs, to help keep an eye on Black Siren, and stay with the Bartons and Bucky while they were still working to get adjusted. He had contacted Lyla during the night, and she had promised to set up Bucky and the Bartons with places to stay, and with allowances to make sure they had enough to provide for themselves until they could get steady sources of income. He had also come back to say farewell to Kara, who was finally heading back to Earth-38. She had wished him the best of luck telling everybody, especially Iris, before she went home.

Iris had been a little upset when she texted him that morning asking why he didn't come home, but he explained why, leaving out the biggest reason, and she seemed to accept it. But now, after telling Wally to just get it over with, he feels guilt over continuing to keep the truth from Iris. He's starting to feel he's leading her on to some degree.

All of a sudden, one of the lanterns hanging from the ceiling hits him on the side of the head. He turns to find out where it came from, and sees Lila giggling like it's the funniest thing in the world.

"Oh, you want to play that game?" Barry says playfully, then picks up the lantern and throws it back at Lila. It lightly bounces off her face, and she giggles more. She picks it right back up, aiming for Barry. Barry laughs and says, "You're gonna have to catch me!"

He starts running, at normal speed, and Lila starts chasing him with the lantern across the Speed Lab. The few people still in the Speed Lab laugh as they watch a little girl try and chase the Flash around with a paper lantern.

This goes on for a few minutes. FInally, Lila gets bored and goes off to find her mother. Barry laughs as he goes to sit down on some of the steps on the side of the Speed Lab. A few moments later, Iris walks over and sits down next to him, laughing.

"Oh my goodness. You are so good with kids," Iris says through her laughing. Barry smiles in response.

Iris looks over to where Lila has just disappeared in search of her mom, then says, "Lila is so cute. And so is baby Nate. And Cooper's really cool too. The Barton's just got lucky, I guess."

Barry grins. "Yeah. I stayed with them for a few days, and I got to know them good. Clint and Laura are very lucky parents," he says.

"Yeah," Iris says with a chuckle. She then looks at Barry and says, "Maybe we'll get that lucky someday."

That just kills the good mood Barry's in. He slowly nods. Iris notices something is wrong and asks, "Barry, what's wrong?"

Barry looks at her for a moment. Then, he says, "There's something I need to talk to you about."

"Okay," Iris says, sounding concerned. Barry looks at her, then starts to speak when suddenly a breach opens in the middle of the Speed Lab, and a dark haired woman hops out, just a few feet from where Cisco and Caitlin are standing. Barry recognizes her from a story Cisco told him about something that happened while he was on Earth-99. He remembers her name being Gypsy.

"Gypsy," Cisco says in surprise. Right before Gypsy vibe-blasts him into the wall.

Barry gets to his feet. Gypsy notices him and fires a vibe blast at him. He easily dodges it and speeds a few yards to his left. But Gypsy catches him with another vibe-blast, which throws him against the wall and holds him there. Gypsy maintains the blast for a few moments before throwing him to the ground.

Gypsy then starts stalking towards Barry. Still a bit dazed, he tries to get to his feet to get ready to fight her. That is, until a blast of energy hits her from behind and knocks her flying through the air. She hits the railing and falls to the ground unconcious. Barry looms behind where she was and sees Harry with his energy gun. He slowly lowers it as he asks, "Who the h*** is this?"

(Pipeline)

Barry stands with Cisco, HR, and Clint as they look at Gypsy, who is lying against the wall of the cell. Cisco had convinced Barry to put Gypsy in the cell just for a little while. At least until they could figure out what she was doing here. It took a little while to convince Barry to allow it, but he eventually gave in. They've been waiting for a little while, during which time Cisco and HR have told Barry and Clint everything they know about Gypsy.

As they watch, she suddenly sits up straight, then gets to her feet. "Where am I? Why am I locked up?" she asks.

They all just look at her. Gypsy then tries to use her powers, but to no avail. "My powers don't work in here," she mutters.

"Yeah, that's the point of the cell. What happened? I thought we had a deal. I spared your life, and you said you'd go back to Earth-19 and tell everyone you killed HR," Cisco says.

"That's exactly what I did," Gypsy says before turning towards HR and saying, "I told the Council you were dead."

"I don't believe you," HR replies.

"I didn't come here to take you back. I'm telling you!" Gypsy says in a slightly raised voice.

"Then why are you here?" Barry demands.

"I don't know," Gypsy says, and everyone looks at her confused.

She stands there for a second before saying, "Last thing I remember, I was on Earth-2, hunting down another breacher."

"Wait, you were just on Earth-2?" Clint asks, a nasty suspicion taking shape in his mind. He pauses for a second before asking, "Were you by any chance looking for this breacher in Africa?"

The same suspicion now creeps up on Barry and Cisco. Gypsy looks at Clint in surprise before she says, "Yes. In the jungle. Where I saw..."

Cisco and Barry both groan. "Let me guess. A gorilla? Super tall? Anger management issues?" Cisco says.

"Grodd must have taken control of her, and sent her here to kill us," Barry deduces aloud.

"Yeah, but she's on another Earth than him, and Grodd's telepathy can't cross dimensions like that," Cisco protests.

"Never underestimate your enemy. We don't know if that's necessarily true or not," Clint says.

"And in any case, Grodd says he always thinks ahead. He didn't have you to open the breaches so he used Gypsy instead," Barry says to Cisco.

"So...that means...Grodd's here," HR says.

"Yeah, and I'd be willing to bet my old farm he's not alone," Clint says.

Miles away, on a cliff overlooking Central City, Grodd and the army of Gorilla City look down at Central City. Soon, Central City will face their anger.

I'll end there for now. I know this was shorter, but I just wanted to get to this point. I'll take two or three more chapters to finish up this episode, then we'll wrap up the story.

As always, review, and stay tuned for the next chapter.
