Chapter Thirteen; Aunt Iris

(I think I forgot to mention that the day Lilli tells Barry about Ash is 2 days after their first date. If I did, now you know)

     The Streak saves a young boy during a police chase

Central Cities very own hero is at it again. Late last night police were in pursuit of a stolen vehicle. During the fast chase, a young boy began crossing the road, not noticing the police chasing after the yellow humvee.
Luckily, our infamous streak swoops in and saves the day. "All I saw was yellow and red lightning as a boy was moved to the other side of the road. It than disappeared, chasing after the perp" Detective Eddie Thawne says.
The perpetrator has been ID'd as Tony Woodward, he has had a history of illegal actions and has been missing in action for the past 10 months. The CCPD has warned the public to be cautious. If you spot him, you are asked to call the Central city Police immediately, walk away, and wait for the proper authorities to arrive. And if you can, contact the streak to help, Woodward is said to dangerous. Be careful.

     I sigh, placing my chin on my palm as I stare at the article. The Streak wasn't a very good name, even though it was Iris to assign the name to him, it didn't scream hero. I mean the guy in Starling calls himself Arrow.
     "Hello?" I hear, I look into the living room and see Caitlin and Felicity walk in.
     "Hey! What you girls doing here?" I ask. I get up and make my way over.
     "We wanted to see if you would join us, we're going to this karaoke bar over on Nelson and Granville" (actual streets, and actual bar in Vancouver) Felicity said.
     "Sounds fun! Who else is going?" I ask.
     "Iris, Eddie, Cisco, And hopefully Barry. He was busy when I called him" Caitlin says.
     "He is digesting the news I gave him" I say.
     "About your daughter?" Felicity asks. I give her a questioning look.
     "Did Barry tell you?" I ask.
     "I'm a hacker. I may have researched you" She says.
     "Okay than" I say. "Any other major thing about you I should know?"
     "Not that I can think of" Felicity says. I could tell she was lying, but I knew better than to ask a blonde for a secret. Damn Margo...
     "Okay, I just need to finish my article" I say. I return to my laptop, I add my name and press save. I'll edit when I come home.

     I change into a white fancy shirt that layered with a v neck, light blue high waisted jeans with rips all over, and beige high heels. I curl my hair just a bit.
     I stuffed my phone, my wallet, and my phone charger into my purse. "LILLI! WE'RE GOING" Felicity calls out.
     "Coming!" I call back. I make my way down to the first floor, where Caitlin stares in awe. Both she and Felicity had left to change, but came back to pick me up.
     Felicity wore a black skin tight dress, her hair was curled and her black heels added an extra 5 inches to her short height.
     Caitlin wore a light blue flowy t-shirt with a long black cardigan, and black jeans. Her 5 inch heels made her more taller than she already was.
     "We look like we should be a girl band" Felicity says.
     "The new spice girls" Caitlin jokes. We laugh.
     "Man we're old"

     "Hey! You girls look nice" Cisco greets as we meet him, Iris, and Eddie.
     "Thank you" Felicity says.
     "You girls went all out for karaoke" Iris says.
     "Well, you never know. Tonight could be the night we are discovered" I joke. We all just chuckle.
     "Barry should be here soon, he needed to finish a report for Singh" Iris says.
     "Does anyone know how he is? I mean after I gave him the news" I say.
     "What news?" Eddie asks.
     "I have a daughter" I say. Both Iris and Eddie froze.
     "Whoa, really?" Iris asks.
     "Yep, 7-year-old daughter named Ashley" I take out my phone and pull up a photo me and Ashley had taken before I left for Central City. "I'm hoping to get her here before Christmas"

"She's adorable" Iris says. "Does she know she's getting a new step-dad?"
"Actually, I was hoping to talk about that" a voice surprised me, I turned and saw Barry. "Hey"
He places a kiss on my cheek and sits next to me. "Hey, Barr" Eddie greets, Barry just nods.
"My dad, who dated a teen mom in high school, suggests that I am introduced as a friend before being introduced as 'moms new boyfriend'" Barr says. "It would allow her to to get use to me"
"That's actually logical" Caitlin says, "Studies show, children who have step-parents who were introduced as a friend of their parent are more likely to bond with said step-parent"
"You lost me at 'Studies show'" Eddie jokes.
"That's a great idea, Barr" I say.
"Yay! I'm finally gonna be aunt Iris!" Iris cheered. "I've waited for this moment"
"You know I have a nephew in Keystone" Eddie says.
"You do?" Iris asks, rather shocked. "Why did you not tell me?"
"This is gonna be a loooong night"
