Disclaimer: I do not own Flash or anything else you may recognize
So here's some more pathetic stuff from some WestAllen moron on YouTube- According to them, since Barry and Iris are married, Barry shouldn't be shipped with anyone else now due to the sanctity of marriage.
Pffft!
And from their DP, they looked like a young woman, maybe even married, so it's sad someone like that spewed something this stupid.
So I mentioned this to my very good friend Brainstorm Sorcerer, and he gave me a very nice idea, so thank you very, very much to him.
Hope all enjoy.
Barry had just taken down King Shark again as the Flash and was now running back home as he quickly put his suit away before running to the living room, and that was when he noticed some other man's jacket on the couch.
"What the….?" He trailed off before hearing a moan coming from Iris' bedroom.
At that point, he ran to the door and not caring, yanked it open, and his jaw dropped on seeing a muscular man on the bed with Iris, both in differing stages of undress.
Iris turned to look at Barry, a shocked look in her eyes as Barry backed off in hurt and disbelief.
He also noticed that the guy was wearing the wedding band he'd gifted to Iris. Iris got up, walking to him, raising her hand. "Barry, this is…"
"I'm not sure I….wanna listen to a word by you right now!" Barry said, barely holding back tears as he walked off and when he was sure he wasn't in that man's line of sight, he sped off.
Soon after that incident, Barry had filed for divorce, and no one, Joe included, had objected on finding out the reason, and Joe was quite disappointed with Iris' actions too, and even stopped speaking to her.
The man in Iris' bed had turned out to be a gigolo because she was feeling left out due to Barry caring about the city and thought she deserved better, which is why she'd gotten with that gigolo. He was providing a paid service to a married woman, though as much as Barry hated that guy, he still hated Iris more, since she cheated on him, she broke his trust.
The divorce was soon finalized and Barry got his ring back, to his relief. Iris' visits to S.T.A.R. Labs also stopped since her only reason to be there were Barry and Joe, and the former had divorced her while the latter didn't speak to her anymore.
2 months later
Iris was having coffee in CC Jitters when she saw Barry coming in, his arm draped around Linda Park as the two shared a laugh over something, and Iris' eyes widened.
Linda suddenly noticed Iris, and then Barry did too, though he sighed, turning away, while Iris carefully approached them. "Hey Linda."
"Iris", Linda greeted back, and her voice sounded neutral, devoid of warmth or friendship. She probably knew what Iris had done.
"How are you?" Iris asked.
"Got a transfer back here, and so far, loving it", Linda said as she turned to Barry, the warmth in her voice returning. "Come on."
"Yeah", Barry nodded with a smile as they put their arms around each other, walking off to get some coffee as Iris' jaw dropped, and she could feel jealousy inside.
Barry's phone then buzzed as he looked at it and accepted the call. "Oh hey, Felicity. Yeah, I'm doing better now, thanks for asking. Uhhhhhh, thanks for the offer, but not sure right now, I hope you can understand. Thank you very much, I will get back to you when I make up my mind."
Barry cut the call as Linda asked. "Who's Felicity?"
"A friend, she called because-"
"Wanted to go out with you?" Linda asked with a smirk.
"Well, yeah", Barry nodded. "But still, not sure yet."
"I get it", Linda assured as they walked off together, while Iris still watched with a dropped jaw.
The two had broken up 2 months ago, and Barry already had 2 women pining for him now, and he was unsure about who to go out with.
"Oh hey guys!"
Iris turned to see Cisco and Caitlin walk in, Barry and Linda turning to them as they laughed and hugged each other.
Iris then watched as they all sat on a table, sharing it as Caitlin said. "So, your results got back, Barry, you are faster than ever before. I'm proud of you."
"Thanks so much Cait", Barry smiled as the two shared a kiss on the cheek, Iris feeling the jealousy in her rise, especially on seeing the way Caitlin was looking at Barry when he wasn't looking at her.
"Barry?"
The four looked up from their table to see Patty, as Barry got up in surprise. "Patty?"
"Uh, hi", Patty waved.
"Hi", Barry greeted back. "Uh, it's good to see you."
"You too", Patty smiled, the awkwardness clear.
"Umm, why are you here?" Barry asked.
"Got a transfer here after my education was done, I'm going to be a CSI here, hope you don't mind", Patty told him.
"Oh no, it's your life, your choice, I look forward to working with you", Barry assured her as she nodded with a smile, and there were clearly feelings still lingering there, as Iris now clutched her cup really tightly, and it would have broken if she had superhuman strength, which she didn't, fortunately.
One day later
Iris was writing an article when she noticed the news. "Flash and Supergirl save the day!"
She looked up to see Barry and Kara in the news, waving to people while sharing smiles and laughs with each other before going off.
Iris now pressed her pen to her article so hard the tip broke. It had been 2 months, and now practically half the women in the city and beyond, including another Earth, were pining for Barry, especially Patty, Caitlin, Kara, Felicity and Linda.
She decided she needed to be sure now and getting up, walked off.
Later, S.T.A.R. Labs
Iris entered to see Cisco working, and he looked up at her. "What are you doing here?"
"Look, I know I have no right to ask this, but, is Barry dating anyone now?" Iris asked as Cisco scoffed. "Look, I know I did a horrible thing to him, just needed to ask."
"Well", Cisco said, turning around so Iris couldn't notice the naughty smirk on his face. "Let's see, Barry just got himself a harem of hot women."
"What?" Iris asked, not feeling the ground under her feet anymore. "What do you-?"
"Oh yes, Barry does", Cisco said, turning to face Iris. "Right now, it consists of Patty, Caitlin, Kara, Felicity and Linda. All had the hots for him, and he couldn't decide, so they got together, talked, and agreed to all be in a relationship with Barry."
"Uhhh, ohhh…" Iris trailed off, backing off.
"And I heard there are going to be some hot orgies too", Cisco added, the look on Iris' face giving him sick satisfaction as she had hurt his best friend. "Damn! Lucky guy! Those 5 would do anything for him, including going down on each other to please him, the orgies must be something else."
"Oh, okay", Iris said in a neutral tone, turning around and walking off just as Barry came in.
"What was she doing here?" Barry asked.
"Asking about you, I told her she lost the right", Cisco shrugged innocently.
"Was that it, or did you say something more?" Barry asked.
"Well, I could have, but anyway, how are things going with you and the girls?" Cisco asked.
"So far, I haven't really gone out with any of them, though I do like all of them, so it's hard to choose yet", Barry confessed to Cisco as he walked to his chair. "I just need some time before I can get into a relationship. But I talked with all of them- Patty, Caitlin, Kara, Felicity and Linda. I talked with them all about this. They assured me that no matter who I picked, they wouldn't hold it against me, and we can all still be friends."
"That's great to know, man", Cisco smiled, lightly punching his shoulder. "You deserve it after everything you've gone through."
"Thanks man", Barry nodded with a smile when a second later, they heard screaming and smashing from the alley nearby.
"NOO! NOO! HOW CAN HE GET FIVE WOMEN AFTER LEAVING ME? AAAAGH! WHY?! WHY, BARRY, WHY?! AAAGH!" The smashing noises and Iris's screams could compare to screams of pain from Tom & Jerry cartoon as Barry and Cisco exchanged an amused smirk, the latter looking at his watch. "YELLING AT HIM FOR GOING INTO THE SPEED FORCE, NO! MAN WHORES, NO! HOW CAN I—UAAGHRAAAA! STUPID, IRIS, STUPID!"
The rant echoed through the whole of Central City and beyond.
Star City, Arrow Cave
Oliver watched as Sara did the salmon ladder in front of him. He'd already done it, and they would spar once this was done, and then there would be some more intimate "training" too.
When Sara was done, she leapt down. "That gets easier every single time."
"I know", Oliver nodded when they looked up, hearing something familiar but faint.
"What is….?" Sara trailed off.
"It sounds…..familiar", Oliver agreed with her, and they exchanged a look with wide eyes, realizing it almost sounded like….no, she was a horrible bitch who had hurt Barry but she wouldn't be so pathetic she would scream out loud, would she?
The two chuckled in amusement as Sara said. "Well, guess she learnt her lesson."
"Too little, too late, but yeah, looks like it", Oliver nodded as they walked off to spar.
Ray, Mick and Nora had just de-boarded the Waverider to meet their friends in present day when they heard something in faint but familiar.
"This screeching is going to damage my ears", Mick muttered.
"Who is it?" Nora asked.
"I don't know, but it sounds like..." Ray trailed off, was it really her? He did know what she had done, and if it was who he thought it was, well, no sympathies. He snickered, confusing the other two.
"What's the matter?" Nora asked.
"Nothing, I will tell you when I'm sure", Ray said, deciding to ask Barry about this later.
Earth-2, S.T.A.R. Labs
Harry was working on a new device, Jesse running in the city when he heard a familiar voice, if faint.
"So she finally shows us all how horrible she is", Harry chuckled and rolled his eyes as he continued working.
Earth-38
Kara was flying around in the city when her hearing picked up Iris' screaming.
"Oh my God! I am so happy Barry isn't with her anymore, poor his ears if he was", she said and chuckled before flying off.
Earth-167
Clark, Lois, Chloe and Ollie were having lunch together when their ears picked something up.
"Am I the only person hearing that?" Lois asked.
"No, you're not the only one, what could it be?" Ollie wondered.
"Sounds like some insane person", Chloe shook her head.
"Whoever it is, for some reason, I think she brought it on herself", Clark sighed as they chuckled and continued eating.
Earth-1, 2040
Mia Queen was about to go out into the city as the new Green Arrow with JJ when they both heard something faint, but were freaked out.
"What in the world is that?" JJ wondered.
"No idea, but I'm glad I'm not anywhere near it", Mia told him.
Earth-1, Present Day, Central City
"I'M SO STUPID AND SELFISH AND PATHETIC, SHOULD NEVER HAVE CHEATED ON HIM! DAMN IT, DAMN ME, DAMN THAT MAN WHORE! AAAAAAAGH!" Iris exploded, grabbing herself by her hair as if she wanted to rip them off as Barry and Cisco heard more smashing and Cisco looked at his watch before Iris emerged from the alley with roughened hair, panting out in exhaustion as if she had just finished a marathon.
"Wow, 15 whole minutes of pining over you", Cisco commented.
"Well, pining or not, not getting with her", Barry said as they heard Iris walking off, and when she was gone, they laughed hysterically, banging their hands on the counter, almost falling down at how pathetic Iris was.
This was inspired by Bl4ckHunter's 'Why with him and not with me?' so thank you to him.
Brainstorm's idea was- "HAAA! Oh the simple little twat. "Sanctity of marriage"? Hell, if anyone if going to cheat on that marriage, I'd bet all the cards on Iris. When has she ever showed to be supportive or even caring towards another person besides herself? Here's a one-shot idea, Iris cheats on Barry with some gigolo, then they separate and divorce, then Iris learns that Barry is sought after by what is practically half the city and beyond (Caitlin, old love interests like Patty and Linda, other Earth residents like Kara, even Felicity since Oliver is with Sara)."
So thanks a lot to him, and this worked perfectly.
Hope all enjoyed and see you all next time with some other update. Stay safe from the coronavirus ya all!
