[color=ec008c][b]"You good?"[/b][/color]

Iris looked up at the phone to Spider-Woman, offered her a rather fake smile. “Yeah, I’m uh-” She cleared her throat. “-I’m good. I’ve got a friend working on something so me and Superman can call each other discreetly I’ll uh-” She couldn’t focus. Barry needed her, it was an emergency. “-I gotta go.” Turning she vanished in a rush of air and a blur, where she was standing seconds ago there fell a piece of paper out of a notepad with a cellphone number scribbled down and the words [i]‘Call me if you ever need help’[/i]

From her reckoning it would usually take her approximately 12 seconds to get from New York City to Central. It took her 7, the wind gushing against her face at speeds that would have reduced a normal person's face to nothing but muscle and bone, if that. She slowed as she entered the city, her trail decreasing in size as she approached her building. Typically she didn’t run into the building for fear of being discovered, today however she ran straight into her apartment in the hopes that she wouldn’t be seen, or at the least that they wouldn’t see what apartment she went into.

Upon entering the door she froze. Barry stood there, her heart swelled with a mix of various confusing and conflicting feelings. It hadn't been too long since they had seen eachother, but the more she thought about the entire situation the more she wanted what they had to become something more. She had maybe told him a couple of days ago that she didn't want to see him again, but before she could really control herself her arms were around him, and her lips on his. Then as she realised she pulled herself away from him, a stunned look on both their faces. “I- you’re- whats-” 

Barry raised his hand. “There’s no time for that.” His voice cracked a little and suddenly she felt like that Flint Marko felt as he drained away. He held up his phone and her eyes adjusted to read the text on the screen. Rolling her eyes it was from that stupid [i]vigilante.net[/i] that everyone seemed to use. Really it tended to be a bunch of psychos calling eachother out and arranging little get togethers, she had been monitoring it for any mention of Central City so she could shut any potential Punishers down before they started a mass murder campaign. She didn’t hold much stock in it though.

On the screen though was a strange post, that appeared to have amassed quite a following. 

“Flash, man in yellow has Flash. He says to meet him in the place where it all began.”

Barry lowered the phone as Iris nodded. “He’s got this ‘Jay Garrick’ and-”

Iris nodded. “-He’s at your old house.”

Barry sighed. “I know you need to go face him, but at the same time. I don’t w-”

She placed a finger on his lips to shush him, standing close to him. “I know, but I need to do this. For your mother, for you, your father and anyone else that he’s hurt through the years. It’s my job.”

“You’re a reporter. Not a policeman-” Iris chuckled.

“That can run so fast she punched the Silver right off the [i]Silver Surfer[/i]. I need to do this Barry.” He grunted, giving in to her. He knew she was right, she couldn’t just back down. He turned around and moved over to a briefcase that she hadn’t noticed before in the room. He flicked it open and her breath was taken away.

“If you’re going to go after him. You should probably look the part.”

"Barry I don't know what to say."

"You could say thanks."

Iris performed a customary scan around the house, there was no-one around. No sign that Henry was here, the car was gone. Just as well, he didn't have to be witness to this. Barry agreed to wait outside, she wasn't entirely sure how she had convinced him to wait there, but she had. She could see by the look on his face that it tore him up inside, knowing that the man who killed his mother was so close, and not only that he was in Barrys childhood house. She entered the door slowly, ensuring that she closed it behind her before walking into the house. Jay lay on the floor, unconcious. Right where they had found Barrys mother all those years ago, that wasn't a mistake.

There was a rush of air as Reverse Flash entered the room, he wasn't facing her. A sign of his confidence, or arrogance over his advantage against her. He was in for a shock, she was faster than she had ever been and recently had only been pushing herself faster still. It may have been just over a month since their last encounter but she had learnt a lot in that period of time. "So I see you got my message, good." He turned to face her, his face a blur as he vibrated his body so she couldn't see the face below the mask. 

There was a low growl as he looked upon her, and he charged. Grabbing her by the chest, he pushed her off her feet. "HOW DARE YOU WEAR THAT EMBLEM?!"
