"Hey dad, just stop by to get my charger."
"Hey you look nice."
"Thanks dad, I have a date."
"With Barry?" Iris couldn't help but notice he sounded hopeful.
"No, a guy from work, Scott."
"Hmm I don't like him."
"You don't even know him."
"And even if I did I still wouldn't like him."
You never like any of the guys I date."
"Can you blame me?"
"Yes, at least give them a chance…. What am I saying, you won't ever give anyone a chance."
"That is not true."
"Isn't it. Eddie was a good, kind man who really love me and you still didn't like him."
"He told you I told him no?"
"Told him no about what?" Asked Iris confuse. Then it hit her. "He asked you for your blessing to marry me and you told him no?"
"He wasn't right for you baby."
"That was not for you to decide."
"I know. All I want is for you to be happy."
"Oh my god, you're never going to approve of anyone who is not Barry."
"Again can you blame me? I know I may seem bias, but for as long as I can remember I have watch Barry be so completely in love with you. He treats you with kindness and respect, he would never stand in the way of your dreams; instead he always encourages you and is there for you every step of the way. As a teenager with raging hormones he could have tried anything with you. But not once did he disrespected you, not once did he crossed the line. With Barry, powers or no powers I know that if I'm ever gone, I know he will take care of you and protect you. And it's not that I don't think you can't take care of yourself, or protect yourself. But it helps me sleep better at night knowing that there is someone who would go to the ends of the earth to make you happy. Just like I know you would go to the ends of the earth to make him happy."
"Damm it now I'm crying." She says laughing and drying her tears. Making him laugh.
"Thank you dad."
"I'm not sure what for, but you're welcome baby." Iris hugged her dad and he hugged her back.
"Let me make a call, then we'll have dinner." She says leaving the room.
"I'll wait in the car."
