The Flash lay unconscious on the ground. The alley is where he would go if he was injured by a meta, and couldn't get to STAR Labs in time, no one would find him if he was in an alley. So that's where he sputtered into right before running into a wall, and collapsing.
Iris was watching him. Of course she was. She knew there was trouble in the streets with a new superhuman, and The Flash was going to be there. He won the battle, and when she thought everything was fine, Iris watched him unsteadily speed off, and then crash into the nearest wall.
So, here she was now. Standing over the unconscious speedster. Temptation said rip off his mask, but Iris knew she shouldn't. Instead, she gently tugged off one of his comms, and planned on telling his team.
Iris placed it against her ear, and listened for a quick second. Or two.
"Dude! Where are you?" Someone shouted.
"He's most definitely unconscious somewhere. Pull up the tracker on his suit." A female voice retorted. A few clicks of a keyboard, and then Iris decided to pipe up.
"Um. Hello?"
"Woah!" The man's tone definitely screamed surprise. "Abort! Abort! Abort. We've been compromised!"
This was crazy. Beyond crazy. Iris was talking to The Flash's team, who just so happen to know his identity.
"Who is this?" The female added. Caitlin knew who it was, but Iris couldn't know that.
"I'm sort of standing over The Flash right now, he's unconscious in an alley. I figured I tell one of you guys."
"You know of our existence?" The male asked.
"He's mentioned you, yeah."
"Okay. We're on our way." Caitlin answered, trying to stay on topic.
"What's it like working for him?" Iris couldn't help but ask questions.
"Um. Scary. Especially when he won't keep himself out of danger!" Cisco said that last part loudly, as though Barry could hear him reprimanding him.
Iris chuckled. "So are you guys friends?"
"Most definitely." Caitlin responded.
"Wow. It's hard to think The Flash is actually someone under there." Iris mumbled, glancing over at him. She made sure not to look at his face. It wasn't vibrating currently, and she would like to respect his wishes. "You know his name?"
"Yeah. Sorry, girl, we ain't telling you nothing." The man's humor was surprising for such a serious operation. Light-heartedness was nice.
"It starts with B, right?"
A choke could be heard over the comms, like someone spit out some of their drink in surprise.
"Who-who told you that!?" Caitlin blurted.
"He did."
"Did he tell you anything else?" Caitlin was going to most definitely have a talk with Barry when he got back to the lab.
Iris thought about it for a moment. Maybe toying with them a little would be fun.
"Yeah. Yeah, I know your names."
"Excuse me?"
"Mmhm. He told me your names."
"You seem to be acting oddly cool about this." If Iris knew that it was Caitlin and Cisco, surely she would be freaking out about this matter.
"Where'd your partner go?" She asked, when the male hadn't said anything in a few minutes.
"He went to pick up Ba-Flash. You should probably leave now."
"No. I'll leave when he pulls up."
"Are you upset?" Caitlin asked.
"About what?"
"With us. Surely you shouldn't be acting so cool about this, Iris."
"You know my name!?"
"Well, yeah. It's pretty easy to recognize a friend's voice from over the comms."
Iris didn't think that saying she knew their names would give away that they knew her. She felt a nervous flutter in her chest.
"I-I was kidding. I know you!?"
"What? NO! I. Um. Ba-Flash just brings your name up, and I've heard your voice over the comms when you two are conversing. That's all."
"Wow. You do a lousy job at not saying his name."
"Listen, you really should put the comms back on Flash, and get out of there before my partner arrives. Secret identity thing and all, and he doesn't have a mask."
"Yeah. Okay."
Iris was bombarded with thoughts all day. Whose voices had she'd heard over the comms? If they knew her, she should recognize them, right? Unless it was true, and the female only knew because of listening into their conversations over the system. Which was creepy. She'd have Flash mute them or something next time.
