"I think everyone in this family has time-travelled enough," Iris said.

"We'll tell the others and put it up to a vote," Barry said. "They need to know the truth anyway."

Iris was staring at Barry. "You're going to go even if everyone says you shouldn't."

He could hear the disapproval and resignation in her tone, and though it pained him, he ignored it. He had a feeling about this. Iris would understand once he was back. "It won't harm anything to go to the future. I'll just know if we need to do something to change it, like we did with Savitar."

"I think you should go," Caitlin said.

Barry turned. Caitlin was still in her seat, but her expression was intense now.

"Really?" Iris asked.

"Yes. And I want to go too."

Barry's thoughts about what the future might look like became secondary. "Why do you – what?"

Caitlin stood, steel in her eyes. "Nora came back here partly because of me. I need to see for myself if any of her fears were accurate."

"Caitlin, I never thought you were –."

"It doesn't matter," Caitlin said, cutting Nora off. She looked at Barry. "You can take people with you when you time-travel. And when you go to the future this time, I'm coming with you."

Barry looked at Iris, as if she could help explain that it was a bad idea, but he found his wife staring at him with a straight face. You're the one who wants to do this, she seemed to be saying. You have to decide.

He opened his mouth to start to tell Caitlin it was easier if he went alone, and then closed it when he met her eyes. He understood her need to know. "Alright," he conceded.

"Dad," Nora started.

"Get ready," Barry said. "We'll leave in five."

Nora seemed uncertain, but Caitlin dipped her head in confirmation.

Barry hugged Iris tightly. "We'll be back in a few seconds," he said quietly.

"I know."

Nora was standing by the mouth of the speed lab with Caitlin. Barry walked over to Caitlin and extended his arms. "Hold on tight," he said as he picked her up. Once her arms were locked around his neck he nodded to Nora, and they started running.

He had to admit he was slightly nervous, bringing Caitlin with him as he ran through the Speed Force, but they made it through without trouble. He followed Nora and skidded to a stop on solid ground, setting Caitlin down immediately.

"Wow," she said.

"You good?" Barry asked.

Caitlin exhaled and nodded. "I just didn't know you saw so much as you ran."

Barry looked around. "So this is 2049." Central City didn't look too different at first glance. A few more updated buildings, and some tech that didn't exist yet. Barry forced himself to stop looking, to keep from learning too much. "Nora, you lead."

Nora was looking around, as if this were new to her too. She wandered away a few steps. "This isn't right," she said.

"What do you mean?" Barry asked.

Nora gestured broadly behind her. "The plaque the city dedicated to you, twenty years ago. It was in the spot you disappeared. Now it's gone. When I left, I ran from that spot."

"So it wasn't put up?" Barry guessed.

"Maybe things changed enough for you to not disappear, so there's no need for a plaque!" Nora said excitedly. "Come on!"

She ran off. Barry swept Caitlin up in his arms again and followed. They went to a small house not far from the West house. Nora stopped in front of it. Barry set Caitlin down and looked at the house. "This is where you grew up?" he asked.

"You and Mom left the loft after you had me, because you needed more space."

Barry took a step towards the house almost without meaning to, drawn to it. It looked… nice.

"I'm gonna go in," Nora said. "Just give me a second."

She ran inside, and Barry turned to Caitlin. "Is it just me, or does this feel weird?"

Caitlin almost seemed amused, and might have smiled if she wasn't so focused. "We're in the future. Of course it's weird."

The door of the house banged open, and Nora walked back outside with tense, jerky movements. "We need to explore more," she said, walking past Barry and Caitlin.

"What -?" the question died when Nora sped away again. Barry looked at Caitlin apologetically and picked her up again, racing after his daughter.

"Nora, where are you going?" he asked.

"Kristin's apartment."

Nora stopped abruptly outside a few apartment buildings. Barry almost ran into her, and tensed when he realized why she had stopped: there was a speedster nearby. He put his arm in front of Caitlin, to silently warn her, and looked around for another sign of electricity. It didn't take long.

A blur of blue, crackling warmly with yellow lightning. "He was right!" a masculine voice called, from the top of the building.

"Did you really doubt him?" a feminine one responded. A different kind of crackling sound filled the air, harder, and a young woman came into view gliding across an ice bridge of her own making. She slid down it from the rooftop, landing gracefully on the ground. The speedster moved in a blue and yellow blur again, coming to a stop next to the girl.

Nora's voice was a whisper. "Henry."

Barry took the sight in quickly. The speedster was dressed in a dark blue suit, more like Nora's than Barry's. His complexion was just like Nora's, and as he stopped vibrating, Barry realized the boy had Iris's eyes. He was tall and lean, and looked at Barry without a smile. "Hey Dad," he said.

"What happened to your suit?" Nora asked. "What are you doing?"

"Patrolling, like we always do," Henry said. "He told us you wouldn't be able to resist coming," he said, looking at Barry again. "Said you would see what was coming so you could try to fix it."

"News flash," the girl said. "We don't want you to try and fix anything."

She thrust her hands forward in a sudden movement. Barry was too focused on Henry to react in time, and was just noticing the icicle when it was almost striking him. Caitlin shoved him to the side, waking him up from his stupor. The icicle broke against the ground.

The girl seemed to just notice Caitlin. "Mom?" she asked.

Barry hadn't really looked at her, but that was definitely Caitlin's daughter. Just the way she sounded was familiar, and beyond that, she looked a lot like Caitlin. Except for the cruelty in her gaze. That didn't really fit in such a familiar face.

"You are working with him," Nora said, horror in her voice.

"Thawne's not the man you -."

"How could you!" Nora yelled. She ran up to Henry, pushing him. Henry didn't move, but Barry saw Kristin flex a hand that trailed cold vapor.

Henry smiled. "You still don't realize, do you?"

Barry walked over with a large stride. "Realize what?" he demanded.

"That Nora's been working for Thawne this whole time," Kristin said. She gestured around them, ending between herself and Henry. "She's the one who made all this possible."

Caitlin stepped forward. Barry wanted to tell her to stay back, but didn't dare take his eyes away from Henry and Kristin. He could tell these two didn't want to talk for long, and as much as he didn't want to fight his son and Caitlin's daughter, it would be faster if he didn't have to worry about protecting anyone. Kristin's eyes darted to Caitlin, as if she couldn't resist seeing her mother. Henry glanced at her for a second too, before looking back at Nora.

"Come on, Nora. You knew the Flash Museum curator was Thawne."

"No," she said, "I didn't."

"Think!" Henry said, forcefully. "He's the one who taught us about Dad. He knew more than any of those displays could ever teach us. And he knew when you could go back in time, to change the course of history just enough to give him the advantage he didn't have before, and trap the Flash even sooner. You wanted to change things!"

Nora backed away, shaking her head viciously. "There's no way I changed that much."

"Time travel's a bitch like that," Henry said darkly. "You'll adjust quickly."

Barry started moving at the same time as Henry. Henry went to grab Nora. Barry blocked him, shoving him away, and the chase began. He was surprised to find that Henry was faster than Nora had been. He was keeping up with Barry easily. "Why are you working with him?" Barry asked, after trying to pin him down.

Henry maneuvered out of reach and aimed a kick at Barry. "He taught me everything I know."

Barry caught Henry's leg and pulled him to the ground. Henry glared at him. "What did Nora change?" Barry asked, holding Henry's suit by the collar. "When did Thawne get an advantage?"

Henry rolled over, and sped away.

"Dad!" Nora yelled.

Barry ran back to where he'd left Nora and Caitlin, suddenly terrified. Henry was there, but he wasn't talking to Nora. He was running over to Kristin. There was a static charge in the air, and Barry realized Nora must have thrown lightning.

"We need to go," Barry said.

"We should check the Flash Museum," Nora said. "It'll be really quick."

She ran off before Barry could say anything, and he cursed in frustration. Henry helped Kristin stand, and the two of them looked at Barry and Caitlin. "Do you think we kept you here long enough?" Kristin asked.

Barry looked at them warily, his thoughts racing, and he felt his eyes widen. "She's gonna adjust to the timeline," he said.

"See you later, Dad," Henry said. "Oh, right. Never mind."

He picked up Kristin and vanished with a crackle of lightning. Caitlin cried out "wait!" Barry ran in the direction Nora had. He didn't know exactly where the Flash Museum was, but he searched quickly and found it in a few minutes. It wasn't in good shape, with broken windows and a run-down exterior. Barry ran through the doors of the small building and found Nora standing in front of a shattered display case.

He stopped just behind her, putting a hand on her upper arm. "Nora."

She turned to him with tears in her eyes. "This was perfect when I left. It was never empty, and now it's destroyed."

Barry breathed out a sigh that she hadn't been caught up by the timeline changes yet. "Nora, we'll make sure this never happens. But we need to go home now."

"I haven't found exactly what's different, aside from Henry being born earlier."

"We'll figure it out later."

Nora ran to the display on the opposite wall, and Barry forcibly made her face him. "You have to stop running!"

She seemed angry. "And you have to let me figure out what I did, or -."

Nora staggered, her eyes widening. Barry gripped her arm to steady her, analyzing her distant expression. Though he hadn't actually seen it, he thought it was familiar: she was seeing memories behind her eyes. "Nora! Nora, focus on me, okay?"

"Dad, I…"

Her expression twisted, from confusion to something darker, and Barry realized it was happening now. He picked her up and started running. She didn't react at first, and then started pushing away from him. Barry held her tighter, to both restrain her and make sure she didn't come loose from his grasp as he entered the Speed Force. "Focus, Nora," he told her as they approached present day.

He let her jump to her feet when they were back in the cortex, and saw that she still seemed disoriented.

"Nora, what's wrong?" Iris asked.

"Dad – Flash – messed up… I messed up… Henry…"

There was a wild look behind her clouded eyes. "Nora, come back to us," Barry said urgently.

"Barry, what's wrong with her?"

Nora wasn't responding to Barry or Iris. She kept saying fragments, not looking anywhere in particular. She was lost in her own head, probably caught somewhere in the memory shuffle altering the timeline caused. He hadn't thought such a short visit would be enough for it to happen, since he'd been in Flashpoint for months before it started for him, but the situation was different. Thawne was involved, and Barry was sure he'd found a way to make it happen faster for Nora. So she would become like Henry, and view Barry as an enemy. Her mind hadn't settled either way before Barry started running her back here, where she couldn't be changed. Which meant, in a way, she was stuck. "She needs a reset," Barry said, and retrieved a sedative from the med-bay.

Nora's eyes focused for a split second before she slumped in Barry's arms; Barry just wasn't fast enough to tell what emotion was behind them.

A/N: Cliffhanger! Sorry about that. So we now know that Nora is working with Thawne. In the show, she's doing this knowingly. Until the 100th episode, I thought she was working for him without realizing it. That she was being used, in effect. That's the premise for this story. This is the timeline now, altered because of changes that have been made since the night of the Enlightenment.

As far as Nora mentally resetting to the new timeline, I know it seemed really fast. I had a theory that, because her actual time is in the future, it would happen faster than present day. You know what I mean? Barry created Flashpoint and started changing after a few months. But Nora's true time is in the future. So even though it's present day to her (like Flashpoint was to Barry), it's still not really present day. The future has to be set from Barry's viewpoint, so things change more quickly than they would in the present. Maybe? That's what we're going with.

Anyway, I hope you liked part three. Parts four and five, coming soon!
