Chapter 14
Iris looked at her niece who had pleading eyes. The reporter knew that she was next to reveal a secret that she had been keeping from Barry.
"You have to tell him Auntie Iris. He gonna find out one way or another and I think that best way to find out is from you." Wally told her aunt as she took a bite of her sandwich.
Iris looked at her niece before she let out a sigh. Wally was right which was a scary thought but then again Wally was a science genius and only pretended to be an idiot.
"You're right kid. Barry needs to know that truth." Iris replied with another sigh.
"I need to know what?" Barry asked as he came into the room and grabbed several sandwiches.
Wally grabbed another sandwich and left the room giving her aunt and uncle time to be alone and discuss what needed to be discussed.
"Honey, what is it that you want to tell me?" Barry asked, concerned for his wife who had not been acting like herself for the past few days.
"Barry, you know that my brother is Antares of the Shadows right?" Iris asked and Barry nodded his head.
As far as Barry knew Iris didn't know that Rudy was a Shadow.
"Well sweetheart, I knew he was a Shadow as I was one too. I was a spy like Mary and I was also a computer hacker as well. I was called the Ruby Tiger because on my hair and eyes. I was the best spy next to Mary and I was best friends with Mary and Rudy considering that all three of us were born into the Shadows. I left the same time as Mary and Rudy did when she found out that she was pregnant with Wally. What Mary said was true. She wanted Wally to be a normal child and not as a Princess of the Shadows as Mary was. I think the only reason Rudy and I were able to leave was because Mary threaten her father by destroying the Lazarus Pit if he didn't let us go which Ra's did but he always keep an eye on us especially Wally and Mary as they were his blood and blood was always important to him." Iris told her husband who was once again doing the impression of a fish just like he did when Mary had told him a few weeks ago that she was the daughter of Ra's Al Ghul.
"I chose to be a reporter do to my training as a spy."
"Iris, I have to ask this. Did you marry me because of me being a hero?" Barry asked not really wanting to know the answer.
Iris walked over to Barry and placed a hand on his cheek. "Barry, when I met you I had not been apart of the Shadows for some time. Flash was not on the list of need to know heroes. Barry, I didn't even know you were the Flash until you told me when you proposed to me." Iris told the love of her life. The former spy knew that Barry would have every right to leave her for her lying.
Barry grabbed the hand that was on his face and looked into his wife's green eyes. "Answer me something. Did you ever take a life with you were a Shadow?"
Iris looked into her husband's green eyes and smiled before replying to his question. "No."
Barry hugged his wife. Somehow he knew that answer to the question that he had asked and he knew that she was telling the truth.
"I love you Iris and I always will." Barry told his wife as he leaned down to kiss her.
Iris melted into the kiss as it was one of pure love and passion.
The two lovers stayed like that for sometime until they heard gagging coming from behind them.
"Oh please get a room you two." Wally told her aunt and uncle as she pretend to gag. "If you want I can surely ask Bats to do you two a favor and get you one of the honeymoon suites as at a fancy hotel."
Barry did something that he had never done with his beloved niece and that was glare at her but it wasn't a mean glare. More like a annoyed glare.
"You planed this didn't you?" Barry asked.
"Hey, I knew that you wouldn't be able to hate Auntie Iris and what can I say I technically am related to a mini bat and am related to a mini bat. I learned from the best." Wally replied with a smirk.
Barry groaned. It really did seem that his niece was being a troll. He was going to kill Robin the next time he saw him.
"So where's Damian?" Barry asked, knowing that the mini assassin was not allowed out of the sight of Wally or Batman or as of now BatButler.
"Currently learning how to be a normal 8 year old curtsey of BatButler who the pipsqueak has taken a liking to very much. I think Damian like BatButler because of the loyalty he has for Batman. Cause the one thing I did learn during me meeting with my grandfather was that the Al Ghul family value loyalty among many things. That and I think Dami just really likes BatButler for some reason which is fine by me as I love Dami but I really don't want to be babysitting the twerp all the time." Wally told her uncle.
Iris and Barry laughed at the anticof their niece before Iris spoke.
"Before I forget Wally, Roy called and asked me to ask you to meet him and Star City at 5. Something about a day out with him and Robin." Iris replied.
Barry didn't like the idea of his niece who he could take care of herself out with two boys. Even if the two boys were Wally's best friends and would never do anything to hurt her.
Wally looked at the clock on the wall and it read 4:50. She would have just enough time to get to Star City if she took the Zetas and used her speed.
"Thanks Auntie Iris." Wally said before she headed out of the house as normal speed but not before she stuffed a envelope into her uncle's hand.
Once Wally was gone Barry opened the envelope to see an address and a credit card along with the note that said 'enjoy your time with each other, you both need it and don't worry about being frugle. I think I can afford to give you guys a few days alone.' The address was to a fancy hotel in Keystone City. So fancy that a night was Barry's entire paycheck for the year. But Barry now knew that Wally was a heiress to a massive fortune and could afford to spend a few nights at a hotel that one room cost what some people make in a year.
Barry let out a little growl at the antics of his niece but knew that she was only to it so that they could renew his and Iris's love and bond for each other. To be honest with himself Barry always knew that there was something different about his wife and he didn't care that she was a former Shadow. The speedster loved his wife and would always love her no matter what.
Next chapter Wally, Roy and Robin hang out and Wally is 'ambushed' by Sportsmaster.
Ideas are welcomed anytime
