Okay, Iris what do you mean by not our daughter?! just because she's giving the cold shoulder? can you really say you haven't done anything to deserve it?

… this isn't about giving me some cold shoulder! I gave my dad the cold shoulder plenty of times.

but no matter how mad she got at us she would never attack us.

No! she attacked me before, once was by accident and the second time wasn't.

and what? you are condoning this? her attacks on me?

has she ever physically harmed you? not for the lack of trying Barry! I know our daughter and you do too!

we saw her get erased from existence, something you even warned me about when she first showed up at my dad's house and we were talking in Star Labs. but I didn't want to believe it I didn't want to hear. but now you need to face the facts.

Did Nora, ever tell you how she knew you would be in the time vault? the night she returned. because I didn't even know you were in the time vault. yeah, I heard your message the other day b-but that night Nora returned all you told me was you would be back you forgot something you didn't tell me where you were going? don't you find that a bit odd babe? and before you give me that BS about her being from the future she wasn't even born yet let alone in my womb to even know this! you never let anyone come between us how you letting that girl come between us. let Caitlin do another quick analysis of our DNA samples with hers you know like she did before. has Caitlin even ran any test on Nora to confirm she is who she say she is… wow Iris Barry said, I don't have to listen to this you just can't stand the fact Nora hates welcome to parenthood Iris kids don't always like there parents.

so much for not arguing, now let's go Caitlin Cisco… now, where are you going? Iris asked Barry we are not finished our conversation.

Oh, I think we are Iris. Barry said turning around. come on Barry, Iris said as she quickly ran in front of him, we use to tell each other everything. Why didn't you tell me or tell the team about the crisis sooner? I have more important things to deal with Iris. Well, I'm sorry I don't Iris said folding her arms. if you want to check on some look-alike that where's the same face as our daughter you are going to have to go through me.

is that a threat? Barry scoffed. it is what you make of it Barry, keep in mind though as you so kindly pointed out in message if anything happens to you or me goodbye Nora.

I don't trust you, Iris! Barry snapped not anymore and if it was up to me you wouldn't be welcomed in Star Labs anymore, but it would have been a major vote, not just me. but Caitlin Cisco Ralph, Cisco's girlfriend Joe and even Cecille. not all of them would have to side with me, but at least four of them would.

"oh my gosh, Barry" how many times do we have to go through this why can you forgive Nora for working with Thawne, but you can't forgive me for taking his advice. What is the big difference? So, now Nora is our daughter Barry said. Nora never stopped being out daughter Barry but that girl laying in that cot that isn't her.

… the difference is Iris, in the future in this new timeline you freed him from Iron Heights. the man that killed my mother. according to Nora how he ended up in Iron Heights is the same. What? Iris said. I I would never, yeah just like you would never trust Thawne or take his advice Nora didn't know any better, but you what is your excuse why don't you admit you always had a thing for the Thawne men anyways. If Eddie was still alive you and him would be married right? and there wouldn't even be a Nora.

that's not fair Barry… Iris said. well, you do know what isn't fair…

you putting all the blame of Sherloque for exposing Nora's secret to us five six months ago. What? Caitlin and Cisco and Iris said. oh, the two of you didn't know. well, the night that you all found me passed out in the time vault the speed force paid me a little visit after the monitor showed up to tell me I needed to die. and, one of the things the speed force showed was the attack on my daughter. and while I was out trying to find Cicada apparently Iris caught wind of Sherloque recording a conversation he had with her and confronted him about it and told him to stop which clearly he didn't but instead of coming to the team with information or even me you Iris sat on this information for a whole month and a half before it blew up in all of our faces. I- I don't know how I would have reacted but just maybe Iris just maybe if I heard from you instead of Sherloque who knows I probably would've handled the news better the team was still getting used to Sherloque and trusting him Iris. you know this. I didn't know it was about Thawne babe! Iris snapped I didn't know why he was investigating our daughter! yet you chose to keep it a secret Iris. Barry said as his eyes just fell to the floor from her. you knew it was wrong regardless of the reasoning and said nothing on some level I can understand why you didn't go to the team but why not come to me? I'm not an unreasonable person Iris you know that or you should have...

b-but why does it matter now babe, you forgave her and the two of you found your way back to one another. y-yeah know thanks to you though. Barry said to his wife.

what? is that true?...

Nora, honey… I – I don't know wha—

save it, mom, it wasn't me who destroyed my relationship it was you! Ah! Nora screams as she fell over collapsing into Jesse's arm from pain.

Caitlin! do something…. Iris screamed as she ran over towards the Nora and Jesse, and Barry sped over. why is she in cuffs? Iris asked. it was her choice Iris Jesse said.

Caitlin is there anything you can do? Barry asked.

no Barry, not until she is stable… and right now this is nowhere near stable.

"you promised… m-mom you promised me" Nora said as her eyes were glowing red as tears fell down from her eyes as she laid in Jesse's arms. da- dad I'm so sca- but never finished the words before closing her eyes again.

Jesse speed her back to the medical lab. No! Caitlin said we need to be careful we need to bring the cot here Barry and wheel her back in this is no longer about her mental state it's becoming clear it is effecting her physically as well.
