August 11th twelve eleven in the afternoon

Earth one Star Labs

…. Hey, Nora he came speeding into and through all of Star Labs.

Hey Barr, whoa slow down where's the fire? Oh, hey Joe… wait what are you doing here? didn't you get my message I told you I needed to use some of my vacation days.

yeah, I received your message alright I thought you would've been headed back to the loft or something me, I had no clue you would be here. Iris just told me to meet her here because…

because of what Joe? Barry asked.

why don't you speak to her, do you know how long you were gone for? um yeah about a day or maybe two I needed to clear my head. didn't you and the rest of the team not see my message. hey, dad who are you talking too…

oh, hey sweetie,

do you mind telling me where our daughter is? and Cisco Caitlin and the rest of the time is at? Barry asked.

Barry, Iris said running towards him, for a hug dad what didn't you tell me he was back.

… babe, what's wrong? Iris asked taken notice that he wasn't returning her embrace.

it's good to see you too Iris, now tell me where is our daughter?

oh, she locked her up in the pipeline… someone said walking into the opts room.

Cisco? Caitlin? Barry said, before turning to look at Iris

You did what? Joe did you know about this. Barry asked turning to look back at him. don't blame him, babe, it is no one's fault but our daughter. I find that so hard to believe Barry said. Barry! you're not listening Nora keeps attacking me keeps trying to kill me!

and what? you didn't say or do anything to set her off?

are you serious right now? Iris said. Caitlin had to bring out Killer Frost to subdue her.

yeah, not to lock her up though me I just wanted to keep her sedated and run some test to find out why Nora is this way until you returned. Why him? Iris asked, I'm her mother.

yeah, and you are doing a real bang-up job on that too. what is this attack Iris West-Allen year? so, who helped you lock her up? cause I'm sure our daughter didn't go willingly. actually, no one did Caitlin Cisco even your precious Ralph all left me to do the dirty work. not one of my proudest moments but I had to drag her to the pipeline I couldn't carry her and well, I haven't seen her since I put her in there. that's why I needed my dad. I knew Cisco Caitlin and Ralph would have just freed our daughter, but my dad he would trust my instincts and keep her locked away. while I went to get you. I was going to reboot the entire system I have seen Cisco do tons of time how hard could it have been so I can zero in on your location.

did you guys not see my message? I needed some space and chances are I will be going back and forth between Earth three and here and where I was over the next course of these upcoming months. this crisis doesn't just affect Earth one. so, how about we go get my daughter out of the pipeline. Your daughter? she's our daughter! Barry. then start acting like it. once again, Iris, you gave me hell for doing rash things when it came to Nora before and now look at you. Nora attacked me before, she attacked Cisco before you don't see him or me treating her like the enemy here. that was different. Iris said.

how? Iris? how was it different, Barry asked. for starters, you turned your back on her. I never did she been cold and heartless towards me ever since she returned.

Caitlin Cisco come on, wait where are you going? to get my daughter where do you think I am going? she probably has no idea why she is in the pipeline let alone who put her in there, to begin with.

Oh, everyone said once they arrived at the pipeline, stunned by what they saw. Dad, Nora said speeding over to him giving him a giant hug I'm so glad you are back. I didn't know you swing that way, Cisco said. I thought you left with Wells Caitlin said. wow, this awkward Joe said as Iris said you do realize she is younger than you right?! I mean in twenty forty-nine, how old are you anyway? everyone went on to say to Jesse Wells.

so, what now mom? first you have a problem with me being a speedster now you have a problem with the fact I like girls? What? no of course, how can you even ask that, I have a friend who is a lesbian.

the problem is not only were you supposed to be locked in the pipeline, but you do realize Jesse is my brother's ex. Your uncle you don't see how that could be weird us finding you and Jesse kissing?

the only thing I find weird is that you somehow managed to put me in the pipeline. What? you seemed surprised I know mom. Jesse told me. but she didn't tell me the details because someone didn't tell her. you are just as cruel in the future as you are now probably worst mom. Jesse even told me you had the nerve to try to forbid her and everyone else from coming to see me down here too. clearly, I'm not that much of a threat if I didn't take off. where did your dad go anyway? Jesse. He didn't tell me actually, he just told me to stay here until he gets back. so, I just thought I would hang out with Nora to see what the future is like I mean it wasn't like she would be spoiling anything for me since it is a different Earth and that was when Iris told me she was in the pipeline. I been down here with Nora since yesterday morning I only left four times for bathroom breaks and to get us some food of course. I must say it's sad that a mother would starve their child. if I didn't sneak into the pipeline who knows when your daughter would have eaten Barry. I don't blame you, even when Iris told me where Nora was I thought you were behind it too, but once I saw Nora she quickly made it clear you were on another Earth doing some type of research that could save her and everyone. Yeah, Barry, she told me about this upcoming crisis, but I must say I'm a bit disappointed I didn't hear it from you. as we all are, Cisco said. none of us are mad.

Wait speak for yourself Iris I am mad I am furious she said he's been seating on this secrete for months. and Nora here wasn't any help you guys know this.

We all knew Nora was the person Barry was talking about when he said that there was only one person that would be able to reach him.

No is denying that both Caitlin and Cisco said at the same time, but we didn't press Nora to go searching for Barry either Iris. we knew that when Barry was ready, he would return.

"you want to talk about secrets?" you Barry said to his wife.

what is that supposed to mean? Iris asked stunned. just what I said. he answered back.

come on Nora, Barry said… can Jesse come too. uh, yeah sure if it's okay with you. Caitlin Cisco are you ready?

where are you guys going? Iris said marching behind them.

leave him alone, Nora said yanking her mom's hand away from her father's

Nora let go of me, you are hurting me… alright, Nora, that's enough Barry said as he walked over towards her only to flung back against the wall by a lightning strike. No Caitlin don't Barry, said as he stood up. don't let Frost loose I'll be back. within a matter of seconds, Barry was back and able to inject something into Nora before whispering to her saying he was sorry.

What happened to her? Jesse asked. she will be fine Jesse, Barry said before he sped off.

What is going on baby girl? Joe asked. I wish I knew dad I wish I knew. ever since she been back Nora hasn't been herself.

Dad, I need your help. okay, sweetie, with what? he asked.

I need you to somehow get Barry away from Nora. I need to get him alone for at least one minute come on dad on some level he must know that isn't our daughter, right?

What is it, dad? what's with that look… it's not my place baby girl. since when that stop you just spit it out already.

Well, suppose that is your daughter? just because that isn't the one you fell in love with do either us know what Thawne and these timeline changes did her remember you and me we are not no meta's so we wouldn't know any better or difference. So, what you're saying I am making this up? thanks for nothing dad. Iris said as she stormed off.

I wasn't expecting this… Iris said once she arrived. Wasn't expecting what Iris? Barry said. you thought I was just going to head home going on about my day leaving Nora here? no, of course not I just thought you would be glued to her side that all. but I'm glad you are here I was wondering if you, you to Cisco and Caitlin could follow me to the lounge. My dad left so and isn't Jesse with Nora.

Iris look I am tired of arguing. This isn't about arguing Barry, I'm tired of it too. but I would like for you to hear me out. and I just thought it be better over tea or coffee my dad did convince not to barge into the room.

He reminded me that we are both adults and that we still do love each other. right? Iris said as she stepped closer to him. honestly, Barry said covering his hand over his face… actually don't finish that sentence Caitlin told Barry. let's just hear what Iris has to say. she is still a part of this team, right? and this tension isn't good for anyone especially you Barry. don't you think we should all be on the same page when it comes to this crisis.

Wait you the two of you knew? Iris asked stunned hey now Cisco said, holding up his hands I didn't know anything until two days ago when we all saw that message. Caitlin's eyes just fell to the floor.

… this is unbelievable, Iris said placing her hands on her hips.

are we going to argue Iris or are you going to talk? our daughter needs us.

"that's just its Barry, I don't think she is our daughter!" and you are too blind to see it.

Barry quickly sped off with Iris to the lounge telling her to stay.

as he quickly went back for Caitlin and Cisco.
