Chapter 6

Barry sighed as he entered the visitor section of Iron Heights, still not believing that now he had to prove his dad's innocence again. But at least, he took a small comfort in knowing that this time, he knew exactly how to prove it sooner.

Anyways, Barry sat down on one end of the glass as his father was seated on the other and both smiled at the sight of each other and each took a phone.

"Hey slugger." Henry said.

"Hey dad." Barry said.

"You look good for someone who just got out of a coma." Henry said and Barry chuckled.

"Yeah. And dad, Jay and I, I think we've got a new lead on who really killed mom." Barry said.

"Barry please." Henry said.

"No, dad, I'm not letting this obsession control my life, but I also need to get you out of here soon." Barry said.

"Really, why?" Henry asked and Barry sighed, since he'd been thinking about this ever since he'd not only arrived on this Multiverse, but also using his superspeed to go over his counterpart's memories and he knew what he wanted to do.

"Because I'd at least like to have one of my parents at my wedding." Barry said.

"Wait, what?" Henry asked.

"Yeah, I'm planning on asking Iris to marry me." Barry said.

"Really." Henry said with a smile.

"Dad, she stayed by my side the entire time I was in a coma and even before that, we've been dating for over a year." Barry said.

"Barry, if Joe approves of this, then so do I. Have you talked to him about this yet?" Henry asked.

"I'm going there after I'm done here. I wanted to see you first." Barry said and Henry smiled.

"Barry, as much as I would love to be at the wedding, we both know that might not be possible." Henry said.

"Nothing is impossible anymore. And dad, I promise, you will be at my wedding." Barry said and Henry sighed.

"Just promise me that you won't put off getting married just to get me out of here." Henry said.

"I promise." Barry said and Henry smiled as he was led away and Barry took a deep breath and prepared himself for what he was going to do next.

Barry still couldn't believe that he hadn't grown up in the West household as he walked up to it and knocked on the door and smiled as Joe opened it.

"Barry. Iris told me you were up." Joe said as they hugged.

"Yeah, I think you're the last person I needed to tell. I just came from telling my dad." Barry said.

"I bet Henry was happy to see you up." Joe said.

"Yes, but I'm not here to get into that with you again. I'm here to talk to you about something else." Barry said and Joe nodded as he showed Barry in.

"So, what did you want to talk to me about?" Joe asked.

"Joe, Iris told me how she stayed by my side the entire time I was in a coma." Barry said.

"Yeah, she was very dedicated to you, but what does that have to do with anything?" Joe asked, though he was starting to suspect where this was going.

"I'm here to ask for your blessing to ask Iris to marry me." Barry said nervously.

However, he looked a bit more relieved when he saw Joe smiled.

"If it were anyone else, I'd say no. But since I've been waiting for this, basically since you two graduated from high school, my answer is yes, as long as it's also her answer." Joe said and Barry smiled.

"Thanks Joe. I need to talk to Jay about getting my mom's wedding ring." Barry said and Joe smiled as he hugged Barry.

"Can't wait to call you my son-in-law." Joe said.

"Can't wait to have you as my father-in-law." Barry said as he headed out.
