Barry and Iris has been arguing for the past couple days. They aren't letting anyone in on what's going on between them. Barry won't look at Iris or barley speak to her at all. Their friends had assumed that they broke up. Iris said that she regretted dating him. They would get very loud while arguing. So Barry decided to move back to Joe's place with Adrian. Of course even though they seperated, Barry still saw his baby boy, which they decided to call Junior, permanently. Adrian did fuss that he didn't see Iris as much as he used to. But eventually they did tell everyone that they separated. They found out, because they argued one night at his lab. Joe overheard. "I was wondering if you could watch Junior tomorrow, I have stuff to do." Iris says. Barry ignored her and continued to look through papers. "Hello? Am I speaking to the wall?"

"What do you want? I'm busy can't you see?"

"You don't get to talk to me like that. I need you to watch the baby for me."

"Yeah cause that's all I'm good for. Right? Watch the kids, I need to do something."

"Well they're your kids too."

"They are yours just as they are mine. Not once have I asked you to watch Adrian for me. Not once. You wanted to end it. Now you have to deal woth your problems. I have things to do. Yes I know he's my son but he's yours too. This is just one of the struggles of being a single parent. Now oof you'll excuse me, I have things to do." He got up and left. Iris was speechless. She was left in tears. Joe came in and embraced her in a hug. "What's wrong? What don't you wanna share what happened with Barry?"

"Dad," she sighs, "Barry and I broke up. It's just hard. Adrian crys because he doesn't see me anymore. I have to raise Junior by myself. It's just complicated. I don't know what to do."

"Talk to him. But calmly, not with anger. You know how he is."

"Yeah." she says and wipes her tears. "I'll talk to him."

"Me too." he kissed her on the forehead. They both walked out together.

Later that night, Joe found Barry in his room. The toddler fast asleep next to him. Barry was working on some papers. Joe knocked on the wall. "Hey Joe."

"Hey, can we talk?" he asked. "Um sure. Is something wrong."

"Iris."

"What about her?"

"She told me what happened between you two. I'm sorry. But I don't understand why are you acting so cold, I guess to her."

"I don't know. Maybe I overreacted. Or maybe it's Zoom. We have take him down now. He's killing innocent people. I don't want you guys to be next. Or my boys."

"I understand Barry, it's ok to be afraid. Just work this out with Iris. I don't want you guys to have any tension between you two. Please, for the sake of my grandsons."

"I will, thank you Joe. For everything."

"No problem, now get some sleep." Barry put aside his work. He thought about Iris. His son. His son that he abandoned. How could he do that. He look to Adrian, who was fussing around in bed. He was whining. "Hey buddy, it's ok. I'm here. Go back to sleep."

"Mommy." he started crying. "I know buddy. But guess what? We're gonna see her tomorrow. Alright? You're gonna see mommy and Junior tomorrow. I promise. Come here. Let's cuddle. Ok, go back to sleep. I got you."

The next day team Flash came up with a plan. They were so sure they were gonna stop Zoom. Once in for all but sadly it didn't got there way. Early that day, Wally volunteered to look after Adrian for Barry while he went to work and S.T.A.R Labs for the day. Barry was thinking about Iris. What should he say to her. When he got S.T.A.R Labs, they constructed a plan. They were gonna trap. Cisco had learned to open breaches. When Zoom finally came over. Barry let him have it. He took out his anger on him. But Zoom, being as evil, he broke out. Barry was angry. So angry. He and Joe went back home. "We had him."

"I know."

"We were so close."

"I know Barry."

"I mean we had-" Barry stopped dead in his tracks. The house was torn. It looked like there had been a fight. All Barry could think was Adrian. Barry flashed upstairs. Nothing. His little boy was gone and so was Wally. "Barry!" Joe came upstairs. "He took them both." On the wall, your speed for Wally and Adrian's lives. Barry was pissed. How could he let this monster take his boy. While his friends were discussing how to take him down and somewhat arguing, Barry was upstairs, thinking. Then he heard footsteps coming towards him. It was Iris. "Hey."

"Hey."

"I'm sorry about Adrian."

"It's not your fault. I'm sorry about how I overreacted yesterday. I shouldn't have said what I said. Junior is my son just as he is yours. And so is Adrian. I shouldn't have prevented you from seeing him. I could never take his mom away from him."

"I'm sorry too. I didn't mean when I said I regretted dating you Barry, I love you. I still do."

"I do too. But right now I think we need to be friends for a while. Then we'll see from where we can move on. For the sake of the boys. I don't want any tension between us and them noticing." Iris chuckled. "I'm serious. Adrian the other day asked me why we were fighting. He's only one and what can I say he takes after his father. Very intelligent little guy."

"Alright. No more fighting. But are you really gonna do it? You can't give up your speed Barry."

"That's my decision. He's my son. Our son. A parent's number one job is to protect their children. I have to keep him safe. This is what I signing up when I decided to take him home that day. I'm gonna do it. I'm gonna give up my powers for Wally and Adrian."
