(Central City
S.T.A.R. Labs)
Barry was not happy with how things went back at the West House.
First Cecile told him that Joe is having suspicion of things that have happened between him and Iris and probably already knows about the break up, or that he was interrogating Iris about the break up.
Then out of nowhere his daughter, who should be at the moment be inside her mother, actually came from the future and made things more complicated between them, and then he decided to put her in the pipeline, not the best of his ideas, seeing the frowning face of Caitlin and Iris proved that, but whenever people have come from future, troubles have followed them, or they've became the trouble, take Eobard Thawne for example.
Barry believes that she should not be here, a motion agreed upon by Cisco, Wally and surprisingly, by Nora herself, and trying to figure out a way to send her back home.
Iris was against the notion because she met her daughter for the first time, and she and Barry had another argument, before she stormed off.
And well, Joe was certain that she came here to change his and Iris's mind about the break up, which Nora denied everytime Joe brought that up, and this thing was annoying her, Barry and Iris the most.
"For the last time, grandpa!" Nora speaks frustrated with her circumstances from inside her cell. "I am not here to get them back together!" She almost shouted. "Truthfully speaking, I am not here to do anything, except ask for help to get back to my time!"
"And why is that?!" Joe shot back in return. "I thought that maybe at least you would see my point!" He looked at both Iris and Barry who looked just as annoyed as Nora. "Don't you want to see both of your parents together?"
"I've seen enough of their fights when they are not together." Nora says. "I don't want to see those fights when they are together." Barry and Iris frowned at her words, did they not have a good relationship in the future?
"Do they not have a good relationship in the future?" Wally asks from his place where he was sitting with his father.
"They do have a great relationship, actually." Nora began. "As best friends."
"I sense a 'but' coming." Cisco states.
"Its complicated." Nora tells them briefly looked up to see Iris, her attention quickly turning back to Caitlin.
"Then why are you here?" Joe asks.
"It was an accident that I landed here." Nora answers as others turn their ears to her. "I was actually running aimlessly after a few things happened."
"What exactly happened, Nora?" Iris asks, and a frown appears on Nora's face, as she was unable to look at her.
"You know that you can tell us, right?" Caitlin says from her place a tablet in her hand, Nora looked up at her, a longing look in her eyes that flared a tint of jealousy in Iris.
"I actually had a fight with my brother." Nora begins and turns towards Iris.
"Wait, you have a brother?" Ralph asks.
"Just because they are not together doesn't mean they will never end up with someone else or won't find love at all." Nora begins. "And it wasn't my younger brother with whom I had the fight with, it was my older brother." Now that made others turn to look at her and Barry in surprise.
"What?" Barry, Iris, Caitlin and Joe ask at the same time, as Wally turns to look at his brother in all but blood. Cisco was more than surprised because that should be impossible.
"Hold up, older brother?" Cisco asks and Nora eyes widened. "Are there twins in there?" He points towards Iris's stomach. "If not I am going to be so confused."
"No, I am the only one." Nora says and everyone turns to look at Barry who was as confused as the rest.
"Did you?" Joe began looking at Barry but turned towards Iris. "Did you know about that...was that the reason?"
"No." Iris answers. "This is the first I heard of this and no that was not that reason."
"Me too." Ralph says.
"Me three." Cisco says, behind him Cecile and Wally also nodded their heads.
"I am in that too." Barry says and everyone bar Nora turns to look at him. "What?"
"How do you not know about your own kid, that you had before Nora?" Caitlin asks.
"In his defense, Bart has way too complicated of a beginning." Nora defended her father.
"Bart?" Cisco and Wally ask at the same time.
"And what does that mean?!" Joe asks.
"Well, he is an artificial Meta Human clone from the thirtieth-ish century that has been created with the genetic marker of Barry Allen, Barry Allen's older brother and Eobard Thawne." Nora completes ignoring the flabbergasted look she was getting. Barry, Cisco, Wally and Caitlin looked shocked and intrigued as Cecile, Joe, Iris and Ralph looked lost.
"What!?" Everyone shouted at once, before Cisco began to ask questions.
"You are telling me that your older brother is a clone of your dad, his greatest enemy and his older brother, whom we never knew existed at all, from the future?" Cisco asks and Nora nodded her head. "What the frack is going on in the future?!"
"He came back from my future too, okay." Nora says while raising her hands. "And putting every weird aspect of his aside, he is my brother." Nora finishes.
"Excluding the fact that I just found out I had an older brother that I never knew about?!" Barry was shocked to say the least, and he can't even ask his parents about that, seeing how both of them are dead.
"I was hoping we could put that minor detail aside." Nora tells him.
"You cannot ask me to put that kind of bomb aside after dropping it on me like this!" Barry shot back as behind him Cisco nodded his head.
"I mean he is probably dead." Nora begins and Barry's breath hitches, he just found out he has an older brother who is most probably dead. "I mean last me and Bart checked, he, as you guys said, died in 2015 during the singularity." So there are chances that his brother died because of him. Caitlin and Cisco looked at each other and then at Barry and then towards Nora.
"Can you tell us who he was?" Caitlin asks.
"No." Nora says as all of them looked at her as if to ask why. "I am already messing up the timeline as it is, I can't tell you more than that, also I don't think any of you would be happy back home, Bart especially, he kinda took it upon himself that we don't time travel and make a mess after few things happened."
"And you had a fight with him?" Ralph asks and Nora frowns as Caitlin glared in his direction.
"Yeah, not the best of my moments." Nora admitted. "I was already angry and I laid it out on him and then..." She choked before she could speak anything else. "Can we just get back to the point where I am here to ask for help so that I can get back to my time?" She tried to divert the attention to the original point she was here for, Barry wanted to get her out of the pipeline seeing that broken face but their experience in trusting people was not that good. He looked back to see both Caitlin and Iris with the same dilemma as his, and he was sure Cisco would be getting her out of that place.
"Can I speak with her for a moment? Joe asks as others look at him in question. "Alone?"
"Dad, you are not going to ask about our-" Before Iris could finish, Joe stopped her.
"I won't Iris, I just need to talk with her alone." Joe finishes, Cisco and Ralph were first to leave. Caitlin left after telling them to see if the DNA result came, followed by Iris and Barry. Joe turned to look at Cecile with his newborn daughter with her.
"I think you already know what I am about to ask?" Joe asks while looking at her.
"Don't really need my powers to know that." Cecile replies with a smile. "And I am one of the only ones who knows more about the future." She looks towards Nora whose eyes widened. "Don't worry I am not going to tell anyone." She tells Nora as relief settled on her face. "Meanwhile do try to keep your thoughts to a minimum, your thoughts are so loud, I don't have to try to pick them up on purpose if they are that loud." A brief thought passed through her head. "Hey, do you think I can hear Jenna's thoughts?"
"I think that's something only those people can answer." Joe answers. "But I don't think I want to...on second thought let's ask Barry or better yet, Caitlin, might make our work easier if we know what she wants." Cecile happily nodded her head and went to look for Barry or Caitlin. Joe watched her go with a smile.
"You love her." Nora says from where she was standing.
"Never thought I would love someone after your grandmother." Joe says from where he was looking at Cecile, behind him Nora frowns.
"I only know her as my grandmother, which was at times very confusing seeing how, Jenna or Aunt Jenna as she likes to point out at times, is the same age as me." Nora says to him and he looks back at her in confusion.
"Did I...in the future?" Joe asks, stuttering a little.
"That's still in the future grandpa." Nora answers with a smile and Joe laughs.
"Man, I always thought it would take a while for me to see my grandchild." Joe begins with a laugh. "Now, not only I am seeing a grown version of my grand-daughter, while the younger version is still in my daughter and will pop out five months later." Joe made an expression that showed his surprise as Nora laughed. "This has been the most weird day of my life, if I tell you the truth, and I've seen a lot of weird things lately." There was a silent moment between the two before Nora spoke up.
"I am sorry." Nora begins and Joe looks at her. "I know that their break up was not the thing you wanted to find out, especially from your own grandchild, I mean they also practically hid the fact that I was about to be born, or that I am not here to make their relationship better, I can see where you are coming from, I mean you learned that your daughter broke up with man you thought would keep her happy and safe, but now she is pregnant and they decided they don't want to be togethe-"
"Hey, Nora...Nora, stop, take a deep breath, okay." Joe says as he asks her to calm down, "I am angry, but for different reasons." He took a deep breath before he looked at his future grand-daughter. "I've been a single father for a long time, and I did not want that either for Iris or for Barry, more than that, I did not want for my grandchild to be without either of her parents, and now I learn that not only they broke up, she is also pregnant." He sighed as he rubbed his face. "At least she didn't run away like her mother."
"Oh you mean Francine West?" Nora asks and Joe looks up at her.
"You know her?" Joe asks.
"I went to her grave with Uncle Wally and mommy Ir-, with mom, yeah." Nora says, Joe looking at her in confusion. "Never really met her, though you did tell me about her." She paused for a moment. "By comparing both mom and her."
"I can see myself doing that." Joe says. "I can see myself doing that a lot actually."
"Yeah, she didn't really like it though." Nora says.
"That would be true too." Joe paused for a while before he asked. "Are all of us okay in the future?" Joe asks and Nora was about to speak but he continued. "And I don't want to hear something like it's in the future, or cannot mess with the timeline because I can see it's more than just messing with the timeline thing, I can see many things behind your eyes, including a bit of anger and resentment mixed when you look at your mother." Joe says as he looks at his grand-daughter from the future. "And many different things with different members, so better start explaining!" Nora stayed silent and turned her head sideways.
"I am sorry Grandpa Joe." Nora began. "I can't tell you."
"Look Nora." Joe began, his eyes full of compassion. "I know that things might be difficult in future, but that can change if you tell us what happened wrong?" He asks. "And begin with why you are angry at Iris in the first place?"
"It's not just me who is angry." Nora admitted.
"What do you mean?" Joe asks.
"She made some..." Nora begins looking at anywhere but Joe. "Wrong decisions in the future." She grimaced and Joe looked even more confused.
"Everyone makes wrong decisions, Nora, these are mistakes, and mistakes can be forgiven." Joe tells her. "And I think even the future version of me would tell you that, so you've got to try."
"I am trying grandpa, but I don't think I can forgive her that easily." Nora says as she looks back at the younger version of her grandfather.
"I never said it was easy." Joe begins. "But it's something that one has to face today, or tomorrow, it will be better if you face it today instead of tomorrow because nobody knows if that tomorrow would actually come." He paused for a moment. "Also I don't think it would be right to blame Iris for something she did not do. Yet."
"You always had the biggest heart grandpa." Nora says with a smile, after a moment of silence between the two. "It's one of the reason we love you the most, you are the best, no matter what timeline."
"I sure hope so." Joe says looking at her with a smile of his own. "I've got one question though."
"Ask away, but remember."
"You can't answer if it messes up the timeline, I know." Joe took a deep breath. "Are they happy?" He asks.
"Very much, grandpa." Nora answers and the smile grows on Joe's face.
"That's all I want to know." Joe says and opens up the door to the cell. "Now come on, out." He opened the door to her cell and the first thing Nora did after coming out of it was wrapping Joe in a hug, who was surprised for a moment before he did the same.
"Thanks Grandpa." Nora says releasing her grandfather.
"No problem." Joe says looking at his grandchild from the future. "Now, let's get to others and see what's stopping you from going back, okay. I think Caitlin is probably already working on it." They both began to move out, towards the cortex with Nora and Joe lost in their conversation.
"Yeah." Nora says.
"You don't know how relieved I am that she is the one taking care of Barry, like a guardian angel? I hope she does the same in future"
"She does." Nora replies with a smile of her own. "I remember at times when she chewed out all of my brothers and sisters including me about how reckless we were, dad and uncle Wally were next after that."
"It's a good thing, because I barely can think of troubles that kids with superpowers can get into, especially ones with super speed." Joe says walking and glanced at Nora. "She is great isn't she?"
"Mommy Cait's the best." Nora answers with a smile before her eyes widened in realization she turns to look at Joe who had a smile on his face. "That's not fair, Grandpa!" Nora shouts as Joe bursts out laughing.
"Grandpa!" Nora exclaims as he catches up to her grandfather after coming out of her shock. "They cannot know! It didn't even happen yet, I mean I am sure it didn't? But did it? What if it already did? Ohhh this is so not good!"
"Relax, Nora." Joe says as he looks at her, now hyperventilating. "I am not going to tell them anything, even if by chance they do learn about it, I don't think there would be any harm, but I think it will give them the push."
"We cannot do that!" Nora shot back. "If I meddle in the past like that, there are chances that the mess up would get out of control, I mean there is no one except for Carrie and Jenny or maybe Irey who wants them to be together as much as I but we cannot mess this up."
"Really?" Joe asks. "What can happen?"
"I can wipe out my siblings from existence." Nora speaks and Joe quickly turns to look at her with wide eyes. "Well the siblings I know that is, I mean you do know about the Flashpoint, right?" Joe nodded his head and Nora continued. "Did dad tell you how things were different before the Flashpoint?" Joe nods again. "I can make the same changes if I mess up, or worst case scenario, I can not only wipe myself, but the rest of the siblings too, out of existence, if I make a single mistake."
"What?" Joe says, hearing the explanation. "What do you mean you can wipe yourself and your siblings out of existence?"
"Well normally it would mean that the Nora you are seeing will no longer exist but it will be someone else and I like how the things were back home, I don't want to change those things at all. I want my brothers to be my brothers and sisters to be my sisters and I don't want to change what I am either." Nora says and Joe looks at her in surprise. "There's a lot at stake and a lot could change with a single mistake."
"Wow!" Joe says. "And I thought I had problems. Is that why speedsters aren't allowed to time travel?"
"Yeah." Nora says, looking at her grandfather. "You really wanna know a funny thing?" She asks and Joe nodded his head, she didn't notice that they were already in the cortex, heads turning to look in their direction. Iris wanted to speak but refrained, she felt the gaze that was directed her way, it felt like their relationship was strained, somewhat, but she was sure if he tried he could make their relationship better or if he somehow learned what it was that strained their relationship.
"There was one time, Bart and his friends were fighting one of the villains, a speedster who turned rogue." Barry wanted to ask what she was talking about but a glare from Joe stopped him. "Not the best of moments, so Bart and I chased her with a few of our friends when we ended up in another time, I think it was World War II or around that?" She looked up trying to remember. "It was a while back we did that, so we caught the speedster and brought her back and when we got back, man! Things were so confusing!"
"Why?" Cisco suddenly asks from beside her and Nora jumps in fright.
"Uncle Cisco!" Nora shouts with a glare. "Don't do that!"
"Sorry!" Cisco raised his arms in a placating manner. "I was just interested in the story you were telling your grandpa, something about you, Bart and the rest of your friends going back in time and things being confusing." He paused as Nora looked surprised. "You were too into that story with Joe to notice us and we were just standing listening to the story. So why was it confusing?" He asks again and after a little probing from Joe, she decides to tell them.
(Nora's Flashback: 8 Year's back for Nora that is)
"Another win for us!" A young Latino teen speaks with his arms raised high as they come out of the ship they were on, wearing a gear similar to that of vibe. "Man, that was a fun ride!"
"Yeah, if that's what you want to believe!" Nora says exiting the ship followed by a group. "That was a freaking disaster!"
"Nah, Nora!" Another teen with brown hair spoke. "I think it was a pretty crash!"
"It was, until you, Paco and Conner decided it would be a good idea to take a selfie with Adolf Hitler of all people after he was knocked out and then kidnapped by Negative Flash." He then looked towards the other member of the team. "We also need to know why Negative Flash was working with Vandal Savage of all people?!"
(Back to Present, 2018)
"Wait!" Cisco stops as Barry and Caitlin look wide eyed at the revelation. "Savage is alive?!" And Nora grimaced, as she forgot a tiny bit of detail regarding Savage.
"Yeah..." She spoke with hesitation. "That's something for the future, like really into the future, so better not ask about it?" She asks and the original Team Flash nodded their heads. "Want me to continue?" And nods came from Barry, Caitlin and Cisco, alongside Joe and Cecile, Ralph and Iris were lost and Harry was taking a sip of his coffee as he listened to the story. "So where was I?"
"The one where someone called Negative Flash was working with Savage?"
"Yeah...so"
(Back to Flashback)
"Relax Tim." The teenager is wearing a Black shirt with an 'S' drawn on it and a leather jacket on top of it. "Recently you've been in a much grouchy mood than usual, I was hoping the lot of us can have fun after this fight, not jump back into another mission that would turn into a fight for our lives." He looked towards the boy he called Tim. "And you know it better than anybody that investigating Vandal Savage of all people would lead to troubles in heap, not to mention we've got school too, and some of us are not geniuses like others."
"He is not wrong though." Another teen, this time a girl wearing Cowgirl garb and guns on her side . "Not everyone's a genius like Bart, Paco and Nora, and Paco's studying on the same level as us when he is younger than us, on the other hand you and Rose still get by, and I still have to submit the rest of my assignments if I want to have good enough score."
"Well we do have the perks of being a speedster." The teenager, Bart, speaks. "I mean, the only reason me and Nora are able to submit our work and projects on time is because we have super speed. Rose." He pointed towards the lone girl who dressed like Deathstroke. "And Tim." He pointed towards the teen who previously spoke. "Are known for preparations, so they get most of their work done on time, as for you, Jinny, you tend to ignore most of your work, as for Conner." He looked towards the final member. "Well..."
"Well what?" Conner asks, a bit indignant.
"You are a special kind of idiot who forgot his assignment back home on the last day it was to be submitted." Tim said with a smirk. "Even when somebody else, namely Bart, did and brought it back for you."
"He is not wrong." Nora says as the rest burst out laughing at Conner who was grumbling to himself.
"Want to tell us what's so funny?" A voice came as others quickly turned to look at older versions of Barry, Sara, Kara and another person looking at the group.
(Back to Present:2018)
"Wait!" This time it was Barry who stopped her. "What was Kara doing in Central, she lives on an entirely different earth?"
"No she doesn't!" Nora shot back as everyone looked at her confused.
"Yes, she does." Barry says confused. "She lives on Earth-38, National City."
"She lives in National City but on Earth-Pr..." Nora began but stopped. "Wait, that didn't happen yet!"
"What didn't happen?" Caitlin, Iris and Ralph ask at the same time and Nora groans.
"That's why I didn't want to tell you about the future!" Nora says.
"Why don't we put where Kara lives in the future at the side?" Joe began. "And continue with the story, because I sure am invested to know what happens next."
"But!" Nora began.
"No buts!" Ralph was the next to speak. "You cannot start a story and not tell us what happens next, I really want to know what happened, like Joe said."
"But!" Nora starts again.
"Why don't you tell us what happens and I will make sure they don't ask about the future?" Joe says as he looks at the rest of the group. "Is that okay?" The rest just nodded their head at his words as Nora continued with the story.
(Back to Flashback)
"Hello." Kara said with a smile and Connor began to sweat.
"Hey...Kara." Connor began. "What brings you here?"
"That's a funny story!" She began. "I was actually looking for you in Smallville where you are supposed to be doing your assignments and homework, but it turns out you weren't there." A glare appeared on her face as Connor flinched. "Then I went to the Fortress hoping I would find you there, but turns out you weren't there either, then I decided to check in with Kate and Barry and turns out the new Robin and Impulse were missing too, and after investigating turns out quite a few were not where they are supposed to be and were gone." Her glare turned towards the rest of the team members before coming back to Connor. "For Two. Whole. Weeks!"
"I actually have no argument for that." Connor says.
"Of course you don't." The man behind Barry snorts, making them turn to look at him. "Sorry."
"And you were supposed to oversee them William!" Barry says next as William faltered. "Where were you when they chased after Meena and Savage?"
"Well, I was with Wally who was investigating the Legends and Canaries." William says. "Next I heard from Kate that Fast Track came back as Negative with Vandal Savage of all people and is fighting with Bart, Nora and Paco as Connor and Tim alongside Jinny and Rose joined a few moments later, after that I know nothing." He shrugged his shoulders.
"You should know something!" Sara shots at him. "After all they practically stole the Wave Rider chasing after Negative!"
"That was Paco, Superboy and Tim actually." Rose interrupts them.
"Don't say it like you didn't enjoy it!" Nora shots at her.
"That's also true." Jinny says.
"And you guys were missing for two weeks after that!" Barry shots at them. "Do you know how worried we've been, and you took Wave Rider too, the only thing that we could've used to locate you guys!" He then began rubbing his head. "Do you know how much trouble you guys caused?" He pulled out his phone. "The excuses we've to give your school!" He glared in the direction of Bart and Nora. "Especially you two, I got called by the Principal for the fourth time this month only."
"Hey they called before because I got perfect marks in my exams, who the hell calls to accuse someone of cheating when someone gets a perfect score in exams while they were watching over us like hawks." Bart muttered as the adults sighed.
"Just get ready." William says. "Most of the people are not happy with us, seeing how you guys stole Wave Rider and went back in time without someone, mostly me, keeping you guys in line." Rose and Tim frowned at his words, as Nora and Bart cringed.
"Mom's not happy?" Nora asks.
"Yeah." Barry says, looking at Nora as the group began to change into more normal clothes. "Moreover, you guys have a lot of things to do." He looked at Bart. "Also call your girlfriend, she is not happy that you stood her up and went off." That stopped every teen as they turned to look at Bart and Barry.
"I have a girlfriend?" Bart asks.
"He has a girlfriend?" Rose and Tim were next to ask.
"You have a girlfriend?" Paco asks, looking at Bart.
"When did that happen?" Jinny asks, looking at Bart.
"How did that happen?!" Nora and Connor say next.
(Back to Present:2018)
"Wasn't that rude?" Barry suddenly asks. "I am sorry Joe, but I have to ask, I mean he is your brother even with his...complicated background, you should be supporting him."
"Hey you were surprised too!" Nora shots back at him. "And so was Bart."
"Why?" Caitlin asks. "I mean he was around sixteen, seventeen? Most are familiar with the term going out and few would end up in a relationship that sometimes lasts a while, why Bart would be so different?"
"Well first, he is from the future, 30th Century to be exact." Nora explained to them. "Moreover he is a clone and basically a kid who is very impulsive." She looked at Caitlin. "He has been in relationships after that, but that one was a train wreck."
"What happened?" Caitlin asks again.
(Back to Flashback)
"Believe me, I've been asking the same question." Barry says as if it was a normal thing. Kara, Sara and William on the other hand looked at the teens in confusion. "Cait on the other hand doesn't like her that much-you don't remember the part where you have a girlfriend, do you?" Barry asks Bart, seeing the confused look on the faces of the teens.
"I don't remember asking someone to be my girlfriend at all!" Bart shot back. "When did I get a girlfriend?!"
"Two months ago." Barry says, as Kara and William looked baffled.
"What did you guys do?" Sara asks next.
"We did nothing!" Tim said.
"Except for the part where Connor and Bart decided to infiltrate the Nazis and got their whole camp drunk." Jinny mentions that Bart and Connor quickly turned to look in her direction. "Also when Paco, Bart and Connor thought it would be a good idea to get a picture with a knocked out Hitler after he was kidnapped by Negative Flash." She paused for a moment. "By the way she is in the Wave Rider, on second note, she is acting weird."
"You guys did what?!" Barry and Kara shot at the two teens.
"Hey those idiots challenged us in a drinking contest!" Connor said and quickly put a hand over his mouth. "I did not say that!"
"What?!"
"We did nothing that will change the course of history that much." Tim interjected. "We had an A.I. who we can ask, not only her but we had two speedsters with high memory power, so the history is probably safe."
"Probably that is." Sara said glaring in their direction. "What else do you think has changed?"
"Apart from Bart getting a girlfriend, I don't think much has?" Connor was the one to say next.
"Wait a minute, let me just write things down." Bart quickly brought a few notebooks and pens and began filling them as Barry began to speed read them simultaneously. As he was reading one of the notebooks Barry paused, confused.
"Hehn?" Barry made a weird sound and looked up at Bart.
"What?" Bart asks.
"Tim was dating Stephanie?" Barry asks.
"Yeah." Bart says and Tim nodded his head.
"Cool." Barry said and turned to look at Tim. "This seems weird but don't go looking for her."
"Why?"
"She is not happy with you." Kara answers. "Also because you are with someone called Darla or something."
"Darla?" Tim looked confused.
"The girl you rejected Stephanie for." William added.
"What?!" Tim shot up surprised. "What happened?"
"Shit happened!" Sara shot at him. "If you are looking for a shortened version." Bart on the other hand went to a screen to search up the names Barry has spoken and written in the book for him to read about and whistled at the first picture that came on screen.
"That's my girlfriend?" Bart asks, looking at Barry who nodded.
"Damn man!" Connor was the one who came up next. "How did you manage to ask her out?"
"I would like an answer to that too?" Bart said. "Because apart from her looks, nothing falls in the area that would make me ask her out in the first place." He looked down at the notebook that Barry wrote. "Or why you are dating Tana and Tim is dating the daughter of a Mafia boss."
"I am dating who now?" Connor asks.
(Back to Present: 2018)
"Wait!" Ralph was surprised at the story. "You are saying you guys created relationships that weren't even there in the beginning and wiped out old ones?"
"Oh yeah!" Nora speaks a snort coming out of her mouth. "We were so confused with what was happening around us and it was so freaky, and seeing Tim for the first time lost was something but he somehow made it work, Connor and Bart tried to make it too but it didn't happen for the two."
"What's the funny thing about that?" Iris asks this time. "Wouldn't that raise problems?"
"Oh that wouldn't be funny for you guys, but it is for us." Nora answers. "And the funnier part was how Bart decided to break up, a month later."
"For some reason it feels like it didn't go well?" Caitlin mutters.
"Oh you would be so right!" Nora answers her with a gleeful smile.
"What did he do?" She asks.
"He told the girl he doesn't remember liking her!" Barry choked on air. "Or asking her out." Caitlin, Cecile and Iris gaped at her words. "Exactly these words." Cisco and Ralph burst out laughing followed by Nora.
"And the girl took it to her face?" Iris asks.
"Oh she didn't!" Nora says almost falling off her seat before regaining her balance. "She blew up, and then I blew up at her because he is my brother, then she blew up at me, then Bart blew up."
Joe meanwhile smiled seeing Nora starting to act casual instead of how she first came here.
"During that fight the girl said he can't just dump her and Bart was so confused, because he was hoping for a simple break up, because he knew she wasn't interested in him, like at all, and has been trying to get attention of someone else." That stopped the laughs as they looked at her. "She didn't refute and I would've punched her if Bart didn't stop me."
"He should've let you slap her at least for that." Iris muttered quietly, audible only to few.
"She then began saying how he should be grateful that she said yes because she wanted to say no, when he asked her out, which Bart answered with he is still trying to understand why did he ask her out!" Cisco loved this Bart, he was way too entertaining. "Except maybe someone challenged him to do it and asked why did she said yes."
"And why did she say yes?" Caitlin asks.
"She was challenged to date a nerd." Nora shrugged her shoulders, Barry and Cisco remembered something similar being done to them except Bart had the guts to call the girl out. "Then Bart ask why did she said yes to him, because there were a lot of them in school, some of whom would gladly do anything if she just told them too instead of him who had the habit of being sent to Principal's office, ditching things in mid due to our hero work which we didn't tell her about and sometimes going off radar like how we vanished for two weeks."
"What was her answer though?" Ralph asks.
"She said that if she is going to say yes to a nerd, then he must be at least a cute one, and then also added that with that he is weird, dense and an idiot too." Nora told them. "In return, Bart said while she did look good, she is a bitch and need to work on her attitude and man, that break up was the highlight of the year in the school." Nora tells them with a smile.
"Seems like a fun guy." Ralph answers after a moment. "When will we meet him?"
"It will be a while before you meet him." Nora answers. "But can you figure out a way for me to go back home?"
"Yeah, it will probably take some time, we are still trying to figure out why you can't go back to your time." Harry says as he puts the tablet down for her to see.
"Hey why don't we go out and grab some grub for all of us to eat?" Ralph asks, looking at Nora. "I mean we did leave our meal back at the West's because of...ya know." Nora looked sheepish at his words. "Arrived, and revealed quite a few things."
"Sure!" Nora answers. "I haven't had dinner yet, so work my way." She looked at Ralph. "Want me to-" She was interrupted by Ralph.
"Oh no, if we are going to get food we are going to do it with my car." Ralph stops her when she raises her hands ready to Flash him out. "And seeing there are a lot of meta-human here compared to the normal ones we are going to need a lot of food, henceforth we leave in the car."
"I-sure!" After a moment of reluctance she agreed to leave with Ralph in his car.
"She is a sweet kid." Joe says after a while and then turns to look at her daughter. "Reminds me of someone." He then looks towards Caitlin who was going through her computer. "Find anything?"
"Apart from the fact she is your granddaughter?" Caitlin asks. "Nothing much." She paused for a moment. "Cisco is trying to figure out why she's been unable to go back to her time."
"What about you, Mr. West?" Harry came forward going through his own calculations. "What did you find?" Joe saw as everyone in the cortex turned to look at him and sighed.
"Look, I know you guys really want to figure her out." He began. "And she told me a few things regarding the future which I promise I wouldn't tell you guys about." His eyes landed on Barry and Caitlin for a brief moment, before looking at Iris. "But I can tell you a few things that probably won't change the timeline much."
"So can you tell us why she is here?" Barry asks.
"She didn't exactly say why she is here." Joe began. "But I have a feeling it has something to do with Bart and you, Iris."
"What?" Caitlin and Iris ask at the same time.
"Yeah, I think you would've figured out how she was behaving." Iris nodded her head, she figured that one out very early. "But she is not happy with you, so please don't force her. I tried to get her to be a little bit amicable with you, but I don't really know if she would try that."
"Did she tell you why?" Barry asks.
"She didn't tell me much, Barr." Joe says, looking at him. "Except for the fact that even you or any of us for that matter, aren't happy with her in the future, so whatever she did affected all of us in a bad way."
"What happened?" Wally was next to ask.
"I don't really know." Joe said. "But I think Bart is included in it too, so if you want to know more, you'll have to get Nora to speak about it."
Hello, How was it? Good, Bad, Worst, great? Take you pick, but do tell me how much do you like it.
