S.T.A.R Labs:
It has been 2 hours since Cisco walked away from Iris. To be honest, he can't stand her being around anymore as she was always so bossy. When Barry went into the speed force, he put Cisco in charge of Team Flash. But Iris jumped in and stole the leader name which was not cool, as she didn't anything about the science and how things worked. He was upgrading his Vibe goggles when a breach opened, he got his gloves and pointed them at the breach in case it was trouble but he was surprised by seeing Kara, Barry and Nora jump out.
"Hey, Girl of Steel." Cisco smiled as he took off his gloves and hugged the three heroes.
Kara laughed then hugged Cisco who then hugged back, "Hi Cisco, it's so good to see you again."
"It's good to see you to Kara," They let go as he see Barry and Nora both with big smiles, Cisco looked from them to Kara who was also wearing a big smile, finally everything was coming together his eyes got big as he smiled and says, "Wait! Nora and Kara…..?"
Barry nodded and replies, "Yeah, when Nora did the DNA test on Iris. It wasn't a match, but when she tested Kara's alien DNA with hers, it was a match."
Cisco was stunned and says, "S….so your saying that Nora is actually half Alien-Half Metahuman?"
Kara nodded as she says, "I know, right I was surprised myself." As Nora ran over and hugged Kara from behind. Kara chuckled as she turned around and hugged her daughter back.
But unknown to them, Iris West was outside of the room and heard the whole conversation, and to say she felt like world shattered, she felt tears swell up in her eyes: Nora wasn't her daughter and it hurt like hell. She wasn't her mother, Kara was. It's not fair, she raised Nora since she was a baby so it should be her daughter.
Cortex:
Nora was thinking about the future and why Iris would say that she was Nora's mom and where was Kara? She thought about travelling to the future but she wasn't fast to do that so she decided to do something smart: ask her dad for help. Nora got up and was about to look for her dad but Iris walked in and looked at Nora, she looked like there was something on her mind.
"So, I heard that you found your real mom," Iris started and Nora nodded as she was smiling, Nora was about to walk off to find her dad but Iris stopped her by standing in the doorway. "Nora, where you going?" Iris asked which puzzled Nora.
"Since you're not my mom and never was, I don't have to answer to you, Iris." Nora replied which surprised Iris but something caught her eyes: a scar on the back of Nora's neck. "Now excuse me, I need to speak to Dad." Nora was about to run but realized that she couldn't, it was like a Meta dampener was in the room.
"Looking for this?" Nora looked at Iris as she took out a Meta dampener. "What makes you think that Kara will be a better mother than I've been and is in the future?" Iris asked, Nora looked angry that Iris was questioning her biological mom. "In the future, I'm caring for you, not Kara." Nora was getting angry, as her fists clenched and listened to what Iris had to say about her mom.
"HOW DARE YOU!" Nora screamed as her eyes glowed pink which scared Iris. "JUST BECAUSE MY MOM ISN'T WITH ME IN THE FUTURE, IT DOESN'T MEAN SHE NEVER LOVED ME!" With that, pink lasers shot our Nora's eyes and burnt through the wall behind Iris.
"What the….?" Iris was shocked as she dropped the dampener, Nora picked it up and used her new eye lasers to destroy the dampener. "Nora, what's wrong?" Iris asked but Nora ran bolted away, even faster than ever before.
When Nora got to to the Speed Lab, she seen Kara as she says, "Mom!" Kara looked to see her daughter and noticed her sad look and says, "Nora, honey what's wrong?"
Nora ran to Kara and hugged her as she cried, Kara hugged her and comforting her as she whispers, "Shhhhh. Its okay my little one. Let's go somewhere where you can tell me what up. Huh?"
Nora nodded as Kara took Nora's hand and went into the time vault as the door shut, Kara sat down against the wall with Nora beside her as she wraps her arm around Nora and gently replies, "Okay. Now tell me what's going on."
Nora told Kara everything that went on in the Cortex between Iris and Nora. Then Nora started talking about the lasers that came from her eyes. Kara was stunned. She couldn't believe that her daughters anger for Iris will bring out her Kryptonian powers that have been dormant. That must be how Nora's powers awakened.
The voice of her daughter snapped her back to reality "Mom! What's going on?"
Kara looked at Nora and replies, "Nora! Your powers on your Kryptonian side are coming out. You must've awaken them when you got angry at Iris."
Nora nodded and says, "Uh…. Well if I accepted uh….what do you call those lasers?"
Kara smiled and says, "Heat Vision."
Nora replies, "If I have access to my heat vision, how come I don't have access to my other powers. Like you?"
Kara was about to answer when her hand came across something on the back of her neck. Confused, Kara moved Nora's hair and seen a scar as she used her X-Ray vision she seen there was a device. She doesn't need to know science to know that this is the reason why Nora's powers are dominant and are coming out very slowly.
She says, "Nora? I think I know why you not getting access to the rest of your powers."
Nora replies, "Why?"
Kara replies, "Because there's a device implanted in the back of your neck."
Nora couldn't believe it and raised her voice as she replies, "WHAT? NOT ANOTHER ONE. GET IT OUT MOM!"
Kara hugs her daughter and says, "Hey, its okay."
Nora replies, "No it's not okay. Everything is not okay. Iris is not my mom. I found my real mother. Why wasn't you with me?" She looks at Kara with teary eyes and says, "You see everything is not okay Mom."
Kara hugs Nora and replies, "I promise Nora, we will find out everything that happened. I promise."
Nora hugs back and replies, "I trust you mom."
Kara let's go and says, "Let's go and let your father know on what's going on huh, if we're gonna figure this out we need to do it as a family?" Nora nodded as they got up and went to find Barry.
They found him in the speed lab as he turned around and says, "Hey Kara." He then seen their faces he got concerned and says, "What's wrong?" They told him everything that they talked about in the time vault, what happened between Nora and Iris.
"Well if we want answers, we won't find them here," Barry said which confused Kara but Nora understand. "Looks like a trip to the future is needed." Barry smiled, Nora and Kara smiled too but before they got started Barry told Kara, "Okay Kara, now whatever you see just ignore them and just follow me and Nora Okay?" Kara nodded as the three started running around the speed lab test track; Kara was running behind Barry and Nora to compare her speed to theirs to go faster. It wasn't long until a portal into time opened then the family of heroes entered and travelled into the future. Iris was stood in a dark corner as she watched the the three heroes fly into the future which made Iris wonder what they'll find out.
Central City, in the future:
A breach opened and out popped the three heroes but they appeared outside the CCPD, they were confused but then they saw the future versions of Iris and Kara along with a younger version Nora. Barry pulled Kara and Nora behind a car and there they watched the two future women talk about Nora.
"Kara, you can't keep Nora." Iris told Kara as she held her daughter's hand tightly. "
"Why are you doing this Iris?" Kara screamed as she hid Nora behind her. From a distance, the three looked at Iris and couldn't believe how terrible she was being.
"Because Barry made a mistake, he doesn't deserve you." Kara held her baby close to her chest as she nodded and replies,
"No, Nora is mine. You can't take here away from me." Kara was on the verge of crying and even the three from the present could see the tears rolling down future Kara's face.
Iris stepped closer as she gritted her teeth as she hold up a camera and says, "Kara if you don't hand me Nora. I will expose you to the world. As an alien. They will hunt you down and experiment on you. Now if you don't want that to happen. Hand her over! Now."
The three heroes couldn't believe what was happening Barry and Nora looked at Kara and seen tears go down her face as she whispers, "I…..It's not fair. How could she do this?"
Nora also had some tears of her own as she held her mother's hand and whispers back, "It's okay Mom, I'm here now and I'm not going anywhere." Kara looked at her daughter and smiled as she hugged Nora.
Barry swallowed as he nodded and grabbed Kara's other hand and says, "I promise Kara, when we get back me and Iris are gonna have a talk." Kara sniffed as she nodded and wiped her eyes as the three continued watching the interaction between Future Kara and Future Iris.
Future Iris started taking the baby from Kara's arms as they watched Kara nodded not letting go of the child as Iris says, "Don't make this harder than it already is." Kara finally let go as Iris took the baby and walked away from Kara. The future Kara walked very slowly the other way crying while the others left through the portal and hopefully were heading home.
S.T.A.R Labs, in the future:
Instead of going back to 2019, the three heroes popped out outside the Speed Lab in the future S.T.A.R Labs. Barry looked around a corner and there they saw a young version of Nora having two dampeners injected into her with future Iris standing near, Kara and Nora were stood close by Barry and Kara looked horrified.
"I can't believe that," Kara whispered as she hugged Nora. "I don't what this to happen ever!" Kara promised and Nora nodded, Barry turned and looked at his daughter and Nora.
"Let's get out of here." Barry told the two and with that, Barry grabbed the pair then they bolted out as fast as they opened a portal and sped through it as they wanted to change their future.
S.T.A.R Labs, 2019:
As they made it back to the speed lab, Kara had tears running down her face which was breaking Barry's heart as she says, "T…..That's what happened? That's why i didn't have a life with my daughter? How could she do that?" They could see the anger in her eyes as she stomped off as Barry and Nora looked at each other and went after her trying to stop her from doing something she will regret.
But they were too late, Team Flash seen Kara stomped in and was shocked to see her mad as Cisco says, "Kara what's going on?" But she ignored him and marched up and punched Iris in the face. Iris went down with a surprised yell as Kara yells. "HOW COULD YOU DO THAT? I COULD'VE HAVE A LIFE WITH HER. YET YOU TOOK HER AWAY FROM ME."
She was gonna punch again when Barry yells, "KARA STOP!" Barry then used his speed to run in and tackle Kara down to stop her doing more damage.
Kara had tears falling down her face as she thought what she seen and what she did, she then whispers to Barry, "I'm so sorry." She then pushed Barry off her then sped away then Nora chased after her..
After Nora went after Kara, Barry went over and helped up Iris as Caitlin was still recovering on what she had seen, but when Barry touched her arm, Caitlin nodded and took Iris to get checked out as Barry turned towards the team who had shocked/feared expressions when Cisco says, "B…..Barry? What was that?"
Barry sighs and told them everything about what they seen in the future and how it affected Kara. The Team was stunned for second but nodded as they now understood the whole situation. But Joe was even more stunned because of what his daughter did to Nora and Kara. He knows that it's in the future but, he just can't let the thought of Iris blackmailing Kara to give up her child.
Cisco says, "Man, wonder how Kara is holding up?"
Barry sighs and replies, "After what she seen, I don't think I can blame her. I mean she just seen her…...our daughter being taken away from her. Anyways Nora went to talk to her, I hope Kara is okay."
Cisco replies, 'We all do Barry."
Somewhere in Central City
While Barry was explaining everything to the team, Kara was sitting knees up to the chest with arms wrapped around them at the very top of the space needle in Seattle, with tears down her face. She needed some time to think to herself, it was nighttime and it was peaceful. She couldn't believe that she let her emotions get out of control, and in front of the whole team. Now they will be scared of her now that they know what she's capable off, and that's why she was thinking about giving up the superhero career.
Because how could she be a hero when she is punching people just because she saw something that might not happen. Kara was so deep in thought she didn't hear Nora coming as she sat down and says, "Mom? You okay?"
Kara sniffed as she wiped her eyes and replies, "Uh…...i don't know." Kara looked at Nora and could she that she was concerned about her mom.
Nora replies, "Don't worry Mom! That won't happen to me. I am here right now with you." Nora held Kara's hand tight and looked at her.
Kara let more tears fall as she replies, "But…..what about the team. All my life ever since Krypton exploded, ever since i landed on earth as a 13 year old girl….I was always scared on what people will think of me, and they will be afraid of me."
Nora replies, "Mom! I'm sure the team are not scared of you, they are just shocked. Besides I bet that once Dad explained on what we saw they might understand."
Kara nodded and replies, "I'm so sorry Nora. That you had to see your mom as a monster." Kara started crying more as she buried her face into her hands.
Nora hugged her Mother and replies, "I Don't care mom! I Love You and that's never gonna change. I will be there with you. I Promise Mom!"
Kara looked up at her daughter and hugged back as she cried, Nora sat there holding her Mom tight as she whispers, "Shhhhh. It's okay Mom! I'm right here. We can stay as long as you want." Kara nodded as Nora sat there with her Mom, she wouldn't go back to STAR Labs until Kara is ready, and they have all the time in the world.
Meanwhile:
After finding out that Iris had no serious damage, Barry sat down and started to tell her that he wanted to end things between them but Iris didn't want to get a divorce, Barry removed his ring and dropped it on the floor.
"Iris, after thinking through everything, I realized that you were never the one for me," Barry told her which shocked Iris, she felt her heart shatter. "I only married you because I thought if I did, the timeline will stay in one piece but now, I don't care about the timeline!" Barry shouted as he stormed away, Iris ran after him and tried to stop him.
"Barry, we can't be over!" Iris shouted, she tried to stop Barry but as she tried to touch his shoulder, Barry started to vibrate his body which caused Iris' hand to go through his body. "We're together in the future!" Iris screamed but Barry shook his head.
"Not anymore," Barry told her as he walked away. "For now on, my future is with Kara as I…" Barry looked down as he realized something after spending so much time with Kara. "I love Kara far more than I've ever loved you, Iris!" Barry shouted then he ran as fast as he could, he wanted to find Kara and tell her how he truly felt.
And it's cliffhanger time! How will things turn out for Barry and Kara? Will they stay on Earth 1 or move to make a fresh start? Find out in the finale!
