Thanks for all the reviews and faves. Malaizjan Dejesus get credit for the dinner scene, please give a shout out to her. Also sorry for detouring from what I said would happen in the last chapter. Also sorry for taking so long to update this story. I have been working on my other stories which one is almost done.
Chapter 8
Days after the last chapter.
Things had been hectic at The Cave between Wally and his friends. Iris and Barry were also having trouble but Iris knew it was because she had kept from her husband a whopper of secret about her and the nephew that the speedster had come to love as his own.
Also there was the fight that Barry and Eyolf had over the best interest in Wally which resulted in a scream fight and almost a fist fight if Batman and Conner had not restrained the two.
Iris decided to head home and make dinner for her speedster boys and also give Barry time to think about what was happening in such a short time.
Iris bent down to put in the ham and she set the oven to heat it fast. She was busy getting ready for a huge dinner for Barry. Earlier in the afternoon, the League needed everyone in Australia. A fire was sparked in the driest part of the continent and it was spreading fast. Barry was one of the first Leaguers on the scene. She was expecting him home soon so she started dinner. Being by the window draining the noodles, she saw flashes of shadow darting about in the back yard. Whoever they were were trying not to be seen by anyone but failed because of her 'wolf' genes, she saw them. There were 10 of them out there. Way too many for her to fight off and not get hurt.
Iris picked up her cell phone and dialed her husband. She needed a quick escape and he was a master of that. She waited for him to pick up, while acting like she was still cooking and while she was still watching that shadow play.
Barry picked up on the 5th ring. "Hello?"
"Barry? Dinner is almost ready," Iris told him.
"Huh? Iris, I am tired. Give me a few to..." Barry then thought about how his wife worded her sentence. Why would she be calling about dinner... "Iris? Are you in trouble?"
"Yes. I made your favorite mashed potatoes with the skins on them," she told him in code.
Barry swore, which Captain Marvel heard. "Iris. How many?" he asked.
"10 pounds, like always! Sometimes, I think you don't pay attention!"
Barry nodded. Crap. 10 of them. Must be those vamps if Iris was calling him. "I'll come back. I will get there, Iris! I promise! Just...be careful."
"Always. Just get here soon, the ham will dry out." Iris heard him hang up on the other end and she braced herself for the fight that was coming.
Barry raced as fast as he could to his house to rescue his wife. He loved Iris to death and would die for her if need be. Just because she and Wally kept the fact that they were a bunch of alien wolves didn't mean that he would never stop loving two of the most important people in his life.
By the time Barry arrived at his house which looked like a hurricane went through it Iris was semi-conscious getting beaten by what Barry could only describe as vampires.
The so called vampires looked more animal-like then Talaos who was more human like. There was no trace of any thing that made them look like they had been human formed.
Barry wasted not time in getting to his wife while fighting off a few of the Vamps and getting cut up a bit and in a flash carried her to the closest Zeta he could find. Iris was injured but the wounds were not life threatening but they were serious when Barry arrived at the Cave. Barry thought that Iris may have some sort of advanced healing do to her being a wolf cause some of the minor injuries were healed when he arrived at the Cave.
Batman who had Zetaed to the Cave when the fire was put out and when Barry told him that Iris was in trouble. The Dark Knight was the one who had the most medical knowledge of the everyone in the Cave. So when Barry came running into the Cave with a bloody Iris in his arms Batman ordered Barry to take Iris into the medbay where he would treat her injuries.
Wally was knocked out with a punch to the head by Conner do to the fact that he wanted to go after the vamps that had hurt his aunt.
Conner and Robin felt the same way Wally was feeling as in Conner's case Iris was a mother figure to him and it was the same thing with Robin as Iris was very much like the mother that he lost years ago.
Everyone in the Cave waited for Batman and Flash to come out and tell them that Iris who was every much a hero even though she didn't have any powers, Iris could take on some of worst villains in the world (Minus the Rogues who were fond of her like they were of Flash and Wally) and win.
They didn't have too wait long as they heard Batman yell to 'Get the hell out of the medbay before a batarang was shoved where the son didn't shine'.
Within seconds Flash was out of the medbay looking pale. Everyone knew that Batman made good on his threats.
"How is Auntie Iris doing?" Robin asked.
"If she was human than she would be dead but thankfully she is not human." Flash told his nephew's best friend in a weary voice.
"If you think something like this can take out Accalia then you are so wrong. Accalia is one of the strongest women I have ever known." Eyolf pointed out.
Barry glared at the guardian of his nephew but she was right. Iris was a fighter is she was able to fight 10 vamps and survive.
"I know that she will be okay. It's just that she is everything to me and I don't know what I would do without her." Barry told the Lycanian.
Eyolf looked that the speedster and knew that his works were true. Barry did love his wife even when their had been lies among them.
"Come on Speedy. Let's get you something to eat before you collapse on us." Eyolf told the Speedster as she grabbed Barry's arm and dragged him to the kitchen to get something to eat.
Next chapter Iris wakes up and finds Wally and Barry tied down on the med beds looking very pissed off.
Ideas are welcomed anytime.
Reviews would great as well.
