Later that night, Kara, William and Mia were all waiting in the Justice Hall. The three of them were watching the monitors, trying to find any sign of 'The Devil'. They sat in a commutable silence but it was destroyed by the sound of heels walking towards them. All three of them turn around to find Dr Caitlin Snow and Cisco Ramon, walking towards them.

CA-"Hey."

K-"Hey."

They all hug each other before sitting back down.

M-"Thank you for coming."

CI-"No problem, what happened?"

W-"Nora had a breakdown and destroyed the loft. She thought Eva was gonna one and take her into he mirror verse and then she convinced herself that she had let her parents down."

K-"she thought that what happened to Barry and Iris was her fault, because she wasn't fast enough or strong enough to save them."

M-"Kara managed to calm her down, she's sleeping now but we don't know how much longer we can lie to her."

CA-"We promised Barry."

K-"I know, but we couldn't tell Iris and look where that got us."

M-"I remember that day and it was horrible."

CI-"Yeah."

FLASHBACK

Nora walked into the loft to have dinner with her mom, as she walked in she noticed dinner was on the table but Iris was nowhere to be found.

"Mom."

"Mom?"

Nora began walking around the loft looking for Iris when she got to the bathroom, the door was open ajar so Nora knocked on the door,

"Mom?"

Nora pushes the door open and the sight she sees is enough to cause her to panic. Iris is lying on the bathroom floor, in a pool of blood. Nora rushes over and begins to frantically shake Iris begging her to wake up.

"Mom. Mom. Mommy? Please wake up. Open your eyes. Mommy?"

Iris doesn't move, Nora grabs her phone and pushes her alert button, within second Kara and Mia are walking into the loft.

K-"Nora? Iris?"

M-"Hello?"

Both of the ladies follow the sound of sobbing up to the bathroom, when they get their they see Nora holding Iris' body close to her, blood all around them and Nora rocking back nd forth crying for her mom to wake up. Mia immediately gasps at the sight as tears start rolling down her cheeks, Kara freezes for a few second before turning to Mia

K-"Can you call everyone?"

Mia nods and heads downstairs to call everyone, Kara takes deep breathe and slowly walks towards Nora, when she gets their she kneels in the pool of Iris' blood and places a hand on Nora' shoulder.

K-"She's gone Nora, I'm so sorry."

N-"No, no, she can''t be. She's gonna open her eyes any second. She's gonna stand up and we are gonna have dinner together."

K-"I'm sorry Nora."

N-"No, no, she promised she wouldn't leave me, she promised she would protect me."

K-"Nora you need to let her go."

After some persuasion Nora lets go of Iris' body and Kara places it on the floor before wrapping Nora in a big hug. When everybody else arrived, Iris was taken to the funeral home and they had the funeral a week later. That night Nora stayed in Kara's arms and didn't move.

END OF FLASHBACK

W-"She had to walk in and find her mom dead not he bathroom floor."

K-"I remember her nightmares that night, she would wake up crying and screaming for her parents."

M-"She wanted her parent sand we could't give that to her."

CA-"We promised Barry."

K-"I know we promised Barry, but Barry made us promise to that under the impression that Iris was going to be around. Iris hid her depression so well that none of us knew something was wrong with her, if we had known maybe we could have stopped her. But now Nora needs at least one of her parents and if we can get one of them back then let's do it. We watched Iris disintegrate and breakdown before our eyes without even knowing what was going on, I'm not losing Nora tot he same fate."

CI-"I agree, we are still no closer in figuring out how to get Barry back, but are you going to tell Nora?"

M-"We have to, as much as I hate to give people false hope, she really needs it."

W-"Yeah well let's have a meeting here in the morning, it's getting late and we all look like we need the rest."

All five of them dissipated to their respective homes for the night, to get some rest for the morning.

The following morning, All five of them were in the Hall command centre when Nora walked in with hot drinks and baked goods.

N-"This is my apology for my melt down last night."

M-"You don't have to apologise, sometimes we just need to let it all out."

Once everyone was seated and full of affine and sugar, Kara broke the news to Nora.

K-"Nora, we have something to tell you but you need to listen to us and not get upset or mad."

N-"Okay?"

K-"We haven't been exactly truthful in where your father is."

N-"Dad's dead, you all said that he died in a fight with Thawne."

K-"He fought Thawne yes, but he didn't die in that fight."

N-"Well, where is he?"

CA-"That's the thing Nora he's alive, but we don't know where he is."

CI-"Or when he is."

N-"What do you mean?"

K-"Your father made a deal with Thawne, in order to keep you and your mother safe Barry had to give. Himself to Thawne and allow Thawne to place him anywhere and anywhere."

N-"What?"

M-"Barry told me, Kara, William and Sara the plan, and that we had to say he was dead. The less people who knew the actual plan the safer it was."

N-"Why didn't anyone tell me?"

W-"To keep you safe, if you though your father was dead you wouldn't be tempted to find him."

N-"But?"

CI-"But myself, Caitlin and Gideon have all been working to try and find Barry but we can't find him yet but we won't give up."

K-"Nora you need to understand that you an't tell anyone. If we want to keep everyone safe we need to keep this to ourselves until we can get Barry back."

CI-"You sound awfully confident Girl of Steel."

K-"The symbol I wear on my chest, people see as a symbol of hope. I am the paragon of hope, my job is not only to save people but to give people hope. We are not going to sit here and mop and wallow in self pity because we can\'t find answers about Barry or 'The Devil'. We are going to have hope that everything will be okay, hope that we will defeat 'The Devil' and hope that we will get Barry back. In this job one of the worst things you can have against a villain is hope."

CA-"There she is."

Kara smiles at the group who all smile back. They all know that they will not give up. They will fight with every breath to bring Barry back and to protect their Earth.
