Prompt from Perlog Annwyl. Wally is Kid Flash and moves in with Barry. The speedster duo are fighting a version of Zoom with Iris in the room. Zoom knocks Wally unconscious, and Iris unmasks him. She figures it out from there.

Is Zoom the same person as the Reverse Flash? Because I was seriously confused when I looked him up. There were things saying that Zoom was the Reverse Flash, and others said that he was a similar but more twisted archetype, but he was Wally's nemesis rather than Barry's. I'm more confused than I was before I looked him up.

Iris's brother had finally given up custody of his son Wally to Iris and Barry about a month ago. Barry had a spare room that Wally could stay in, and well, Eddie had been freaked out about taking care of a kid, and it had sparked a fight in which Iris had told him she wanted kids and didn't want to be with someone who didn't so she had moved out. She hadn't wanted to move back in with her father because she had enjoyed the freedom of not having her father always watching her, so she had also moved in with Barry. He had of course offered to take the pull out couch himself, but she had fought him on it saying it was his apartment he should have a real room.

So, that was where they had been for a month. Everything seemed to be going smoothly. Iris watched how good of a dad/uncle Barry was, and she was relieved. Originally she thought it was just because she didn't want to be raising a child on her own, especially and fifteen year old, but she kept thinking back to what she told Eddie about wanting to be with someone who wanted kids. It was all too confusing. She knew Barry loved her, but he was her best friend and was raising her nephew with her, so she couldn't afford to screw things up. This was too important.

Iris found herself sitting in a park that next to no one had visited in years. Well, no one except her and Barry. In third grade a girl had started bullying Iris calling her dirty and just damaging her self-esteem in general, so Barry had shown her this park. It was quiet and no one ever bothered them or even saw them. The park had quickly become Iris's favorite place, but this was the first time that she had ever gone there alone, alone with her thoughts.

Iris noticed something out of the corner of her eye. It was a flash of light. Flash! Iris hadn't talked to him since the incident with Eddie on the street. She missed him, but this wasn't him. His electric tail was more of a yellowish color whereas-wait. There were three different colors. Red, yellow, orange.

What? How are there three of them?

Iris walked a little ways into the park and saw three distinct figures, one a bit smaller than the other two, fighting. Flash and the smaller one, Kid Flash, she thought, seemed to be fighting together against the one in yellow.

Barry had mentioned something about a man in yellow. He-he had thought it was the same man that had killed his mother. He had been so anxious whenever her father had left the station as well as having anxiety just in general. Barry had only told Iris why a little while after, so for a while she thought all the anxiety was because of his confession. She would be lying if she said she wasn't even a little disappointed.

But, back to the matter in front of her, the man in yellow seemed to have the upper hand even though he was outnumbered. Flash seemed to be trying to block Kid Flash from as many hits as he could. He was not successful. Both of them were seeming more like punching bags than people. They put up a pretty good fight, but neither of them were at the other man's level. The man in yellow threw Kid Flash into a tree, and he didn't move. Flash ran and knelt at his side. The man in yellow watched them with a sick smile and began to walk toward him, tauntingly slow. Iris ran over to the Flash's side.

"Look behind you." The Flash obeyed and turned back to Kid Flash worriedly.

"I told him not to follow me. I told him to stay in the lab. Maybe I shouldn't have brought him there in the first place. I should have known he'd do something like this eventually." The Flash ran his hand over his head like Barry always did when he was stressed.

"I'll take care of him. You take care of him." She pointed to the man who was now speedily circling them. The Flash took off angrily towards the man.

Iris couldn't stop the swelling in her heart at how much he seemed to love this kid. It was the same feeling she got when her best friend showed how much he loved her nephew. Just when she was thinking it was love she felt for Barry, and she was happy thinking that she was in love with her best friend, but how could she be in love with two different people?

Kid Flash groaned and pulled at his mask.

"Do you want it off?" Iris asked gently. She knew Flash wouldn't be happy about her knowing who his kid was, but if the injured child needed it off, she would take it off.

"Iris? Can you . . . get it off?" He said weakly. She would know that voice anywhere.

She pulled off the mask as gently as she could. She refused to cause her new kid anymore pain than he was already in. At least this explained all he similarities . . . and her feelings toward Barry and the Flash.

"Why did you follow Barry?! He told you to stay in the lab with Caitlyn and Cisco, didn't he?" Iris lectured once Wally was well enough to sit up.

"Barry? Why would Barry tell me to stay in a lab?" Wally had always been a terrible liar, but he had to at least try.

"I'm not dumb, Wallace." Iris's voice was threatening. "You need to listen to Barry when he tells you to stay put, it's with good reason, as you better know now."

"I'm not a little kid anymore, Iris. I've seen and dealt with more than a lot of adults, and now I have a super power. I can take care of myself."

"How'd that work out for you today? At the very least you obviously need more training."

Wally sighed. Arguing with Iris, especially when you know you're wrong, is exhausting.

~_~ line break ~_~

Barry came speeding back. He took one look at Wally's maskless face and knew there was no point in keeping his on. He pulled it off and looked Wally over to make sure there was nothing truly wrong with him, well at least nothing that his super healing wouldn't fix without help.

Barry sighed in relief when he finished examining his nephew. "Give it three hours and he'll be perfectly fine." He told Iris. "How much trouble am I in?" He said with his typical sheepish, guilty voice.

"Not as much as you probably should be." Iris pulled him in a kissed him.

"It's about time." Wally said when they pulled apart.

"I'm not confused anymore. I love you, Barry."

"I'm a bit confused, but I love you, too, Iris."

It was an odd family, but it was a good one.
