Someone looking handsome tonight a woman said as she walked up towards Ralph and Barry. Nearly startling Barry who looked around the room real quick then back to the woman.
What are you doing here? Barry asked. I'm trying to spend time with my husband she said. Excuse me, Ralph, Barry said as he took a surprised Iris hand this isn't a date Iris Barry said to his wife. Ralph and I are working a matter of fact he already made half of the money we need to hopefully clear his mother. Oh, I know I saw I knew you weren't going to be the one gambling babe. Sorry to interrupt Ralph said as he walked up to the two of them asking Iris how did you find Barry and I we never gave you the location to where we were going to be. Believe it or not I'm actually here with my dad he convinced me to work with him on a case the two of you were an accident a happy one but still an accident.
Look babe is there somewhere in this place we could talk privately you too Ralph with my dad and before you ask no this isn't about earlier either but speaking of which where is Nora? Er uh she's uh Barry said looking around you lost our daughter?! Iris snapped. Mom keep your voice down Nora said as she walked up to the three of them, I was in the bathroom.
Wait a minute why don't you look surprised to see her? Barry asked his daughter. Oh, I ran into Papa Joe as I was coming out of the bathroom and dad let me tell you we have a bigger problem than getting the money needed to help Ms. Debbie. Ultraviolet is here dad.
What? Both Ralph and Barry said at the same time where? Barry asked looking around before turning to his wife this is why you and Joe are here praying and hoping Cecille and Allegra are here too. Iris just shook her head look if you want my dad and I will leave babe but the both of us want to find the two of them for different reasons but still. Come on old man, Nora said as he pulled his dad's arm. Old man? Iris said hahaha Iris that's not funny I told her about calling me old man. Hey, Barr Ralph Joe said as he stood up from leaning against the wall when Iris told me she saw the two of you I didn't believe her you know what were the odds that where Iris tracked ultraviolet would lead us to the two of you she caught her on a camera me I wanted to charged down here with the whole police force but your brilliant wife here convinced me to keep it just between the two of us for now as she thought it might be a some type of a trap after nearly three weeks of not being able to be found to suddenly reappear. Well, yeah that does sound strange Barry said so any luck to where she is at? Well, yeah Joe said she's right behind those doors she hasn't come out since she entered either Joe said. Yeah, apparently some guy named Mr. Remington Meister is holding some sort of high stakes auction tonight he's supposed to be auctioning off something called the eye-3c9 and she's the bodyguard. And you know this how both Nora and her dad Barry Allen asked Iris. I am a reporter Iris said, just as Joe said we overheard them talking before Iris spotted the two of you even though I thought she was wrong I did hope she spotted the two of you because we can use all the help we can get.
Ralph, Ralph Barry called too but he didn't answer he was spaced out. Ralph, Barry said again placing his hand on Ralph's shoulder nearly startling him is everything ok? Barry asked. I- I'm not sure Ralph said looking at Iris. Why are you looking at the three her the three of them asked. Ralph took a deep breath in shaking his head because she's been helping me with my ongoing Sue Dearbon case. Ok and? Nora said how is that relevant now it's relevant because Mr. Meister either knows or knew of Sue Dearbon and now we might have to kill him which by the way seems easier said than done since Ultraviolet powers can kill all of us unless Cisco made any updates to your suit rookie. I don't think so Barry said before saying if you need the flash I'm going to have to go back to the car and you it Ralph. When you handed me this suit you told me to lose the ring that this was how we were suiting up for this case tonight. I never said you needed your suit man; I was just asking a question but there's only one way we are going to get through those doors without causing a scene. Ok, and how is that Iris asked. Oh no no Ralph said if you and no offense captain Joe but if the two of you want through those doors score your own VIP ticket, I got myself and my two pals here covered. But I want to help Iris said. How exactly? Barry asked his wife tonight was supposed to be a simple evening. When have our lives ever been simple Barry Iris asked. If you want to help, follow your own lead but Ralph still has some more money to make and Nora and I have to be there to back him up. What? You can't be serious Iris said didn't you hear anything my dad and I told you about Ultraviolet being here and plus we still don't know anything about the eye-3C9.
Ah, a man said walking up towards Iris and the rest of the group why is such a lovely lady like yourself asking about the ring of fire he said as he placed his hand against her back.
Excuse me Iris said stepping away who the hell are you and why were you eavesdropping on a private conversation. Nothing in this gala is private my dear especially from me my dear I own this place.
Y-you Mr. Remington Meister Nora asked. Yes, I am my dear what is it to you. Quickly Ralph cover for Nora you have to excuse her it's not every day we get to stand in front of greatness. Are you trying to butter me up? Remington asked Ralph. Me? Butter you? No, Barry quickly said we mean no disrespect it's just I'm sure my friends and I aren't the only ones who are buzzing about the auction tonight that is being held. Well, I must say that is a private party Remington said eyeing Barry up and down for the most elite and unless you have, or we do Ralph said holding out his hand. Ah yes, your VIP tickets very good glad to see you have some finesse in you… but I must ask why is there only three tickets when there are five of you. Oh, they are not staying Ralph we not? Iris said. Er I do hate family quarrels well I must be going and if the two of you guys have time later before you know the said auction come find me I'll be at the ring but please leave the ladies behind but if you must bring the other guy with you. What is the ring Nora asked? That doesn't concern you Ralph said. Let your dad and I handle this you head back home with Iris and Joe.
What? Dad you agree with Ralph. Actually, I do Nora he said. Excellent then, let's go play us some Mahjong and if we are lucky, I will even win some more money Rookie. Remember it isn't Rookie here, Ralph it's Allen Barry Allen. Right ok great let's go. Wait Nora said as she quickly walked over towards her dad giving him a hug telling him to be careful. Don't worry Nora, Iris told her daughter once she was back by her side we aren't leaving. What? We're not? No, of course, your father may not realize it yet, but he is going to need back up. Alright, come on Nora said as she ran out of the gala. What? Where are we going both Joe and Iris asked. Trust me mom! Nora tried to say in a firm but whisper voice. Ralph's car? Both Iris and Joe said at the same time asking her why are they out here. It's simple mom Tony, the guy Ralph mom owes money too he is here at the gala he met us here. I guess Ralph knew that because while he was busy getting a suit for dad and a dress for me, he had dad hack into the security feed in case he was playing us so with this we can keep an eye on dad and Ralph. Dad and I knew something was up when Ralph suggested coming to Midway to gamble but we left it alone we both played it off has he might be recognizable in Central City especially dad you know, but now hearing what he said about another case.
But what about what is behind these doors. Oh, we can't see that probably no security cameras in that room. Seriously Nora. Yes, seriously mom remembers the three us came here to help out Ralph's mother not to stop some evil metahuman and to find the eye of whatever. Holy Shrap papa Joe come take a look at this. W-what wrong Iris asked, look mom look Papa Joe Nora said pointing to the laptop. What are we supposed to be looking at sweetie it's your dad and Ralph sitting at some table what's so strange about that. Not that mom looks closer towards the balcony holy shi language Joe said not in front of your daughter.
Oh, please Papa Joe I heard mom curse plenty of times even at you stunning both of them. What? Iris said no way no matter how not now mom we have bigger problems Ultraviolet is watching dad and Ralph and they are clueless about it too and I'm not strong enough to take her on on my own. What are you doing Iris? Joe asked, what does it look like dad I'm pressing my panic button I know Cisco can't come because he's powerless but killer frost can and to be honest I don't even know why Barry is okay with him going out there dressed as vibe still. Cisco wanted vibe gone and now he is. It's not that simple mom just because you lose your powers even if it is by choice you as a meta you still loose apart of yourself don't you remember how much dad struggled when he gave up his powers to save uncle wally or when some meta gave you his powers. What? How do you know about that. That doesn't matter mom the point is you will never understand what it is like to be powerless as a meta I'm not trying to take anything away from regular humans but it's not the same as being a meta come on mom we all saw how Caitlin struggled when frost was missing too and that was less than a year ago. Whoa whoa not so fast Joe said snatching the phone we are not summoning Caitlin here it's Frost dad Frost Caitlin it doesn't matter we should just see how things play out Esperanza doesn't know the flash or elongated man true identity and look she's stepping away from the balcony. Alright, fine Iris said until she took another look at the laptop w-where where's Barry he was just sitting there at the table with Ralph. I'm sure they are fine mom probably walking around trying to blend in you know. Well, scan the rooms, Nora. There's no need for that someone said as they were opening the car door. Dad Nora said just as Iris pulled him into a hug where have you been? Relax Iris, Ralph told her Barry can take care of himself besides he had me as backup. Well excuse me for being concerned one-minute Nora and I saw ultraviolet watching the two of you then we see her leaving and next thing I know you and Barry were gone. Yeah, we know Barry said to Nora Joe and Iris that is why I'm here I need my flash ring. Ralph and I are going to both searches the building separately while the rest of should head back to the loft. We don't think this Meister guy knew how close we were still when he started talking but the eye-3C9 is a weapon of mass destruction which he plans to use to wipe out Central City, so Ralph and need to go look for it I don't know what is behind that locked door but it isn't the weapon the live event is be held in a special room. But what about Ultraviolet? Iris asked she nearly killed you no mom it was Cecille that nearly killed dad. Enough the two of Joe said but your wife does make a good point about her powers you can't get closer enough to her. Actually, he can Ralph said because the one this about this Ultraviolet lady she has a code and she fights fair and square she doesn't know Barry is the flash and once we find out where this bid is being held Barry and I will take care of the rest.
