Prompt from KaMi-HiMe BVB. Eddie and Barry are boxing again and Barry uses his super speed in front of Eddie (he doesn't realize Eddie saw) and Eddie tells Iris.

"Barry," Eddie called. "Come with me."

Eddie looked angry, so Barry didn't want to follow, especially since he was headed toward the gym. He wanted to 'train' Barry. He was one of three people teaching Barry how to be faster and stronger. How many people thought he was weak?

"Ok," Barry sighed and followed Eddie to the gym.

"Grab some mits." Barry did as he was told and passed a pair to Eddie. "Remember you need to be quick."

Speed really isn't my issue, Barry thought.

Eddie threw the first punch and Barry sidestepped throwing his own. It was slow and sloppy, but as Eddie dodged it, Barry punched his side with his left arm.

"Good, still a little slow but good." Eddie commented.

It went on and on like this for twenty minutes. Eddie was exhausted, and Barry pretended to look the same way. Having three trainers and really fast healing kept you in pretty good shape.

They took a break to get some water but soon Eddie wanted to get back to punching his girlfriend's best friend.

"Let's try some speed exercises." Barry sighed in response and went to get the new equipment.

Eddie started out moving very slowly. and it was easy to hit the targets without using his real speed. Steadily, Eddie got moving faster and faster, but Barry had no problem keeping up. He missed a few occasionally thinking it would be suspicious if he hit all of them. Barry thought he saw Eddie look at him strangely, but he didn't think much of it. Eddie was probably just surprised by how many he was hitting because he was usually really slow when they were sparring.

Eddie went to Jitters on his lunch break to talk to Iris.

"Hey," she greeted.

"Hey, you should sit down." Eddie said with a blank expression and shock evident in his voice.

"Hold on. I'll go sign off for break." Iris kept glancing back at her boyfriend as she walked away." She came back and sat down waiting for her boyfriend to speak.

"I believe in your 'Flash.'"

"Really?! What changed?" Iris's eyes widened as much as her smile.

"I know who he is." Eddie stated simply. "Are you sure you don't?"

Iris was suddenly serious. "You do? Who is it? Why would I know?"

"It's . . . he's . . ."

"Come on, spit it out." Iris pleaded.

"Barry. Barry's the Flash."

Iris fell back into her chair. She hadn't realized she was standing up.

"What on Earth makes you think that?"

"I made Barry train with me, and when I had him doing speed exercises, he would hit the target, but I rarely saw him move. All I could see before and after I felt the punch was little flashes of light."

"What? Why didn't he tell me? Does he know that you know? Does he know you're telling me?"

Eddie did his best to answer his girlfriend's parade of questions, but the answer was usually 'I don't know.'

"I need to talk to that boy." Iris walked out the door and Eddie followed.

"Would you have ever told me?!" Iris demanded as she stormed into Barry's lab.

"Hi, Iris." Barry nearly dropped the test tube he was holding.

"Answer the question."

"I don't really understand the question."

"Would. You. Have. Ever. Told. Me. About. You. Being. The. Flash?" Iris stared him down.

Barry refused to meet her gaze. "No."

"Never?" Iris was truly surprised. This her best friend saying that he would never have told her about the biggest change in his life, about being able to help so many people, even about knowing the Arrow.

"I needed you safe. Knowing I was the Flash would have put you in danger, and honestly it was kind of fun teasing you." Barry's attempt to lighten the mood failed miserably.

"Fun teasing me? Barry, I trusted you." The look on Iris's face hurt Barry more than even he knew a look could.

"I know, I'm sorry. I guess it was just nice to be someone that could still surprise you."

"Barry, this is enough of a surprise for a very long time. I like knowing everything about me."

Eddie left the room feeling awkward and not wanting to catch retribution for being the one to tell Iris when Barry finally got curious.

Barry nodded. "The danger thing really was a factor. Keep an eye out."

"My guardian angel's looking out for me."

"You're worth being on time for."
