Chapter 145

A few days after they'd woken Sam up, Barry, Kara, Iris, James, Cisco, Caitlin, Jesse, Nia, Felicity, Joe and Henry were now having a going away party for Iris at Joe's house, since she had decided to take the job offer in Hub City.

"I still can't believe you're leaving." Joe said as he hugged his daughter.

"Oh come on dad. Now you'll have the house all to yourself." Iris said, since until now she'd still been living with Joe.

"That is true. I'm living with my wife now, Wally moved out to National City and now Iris is moving to Hub City. Sounds like you've got an empty nest now Joe." Barry said with a smile.

"True. It will be nice to have this place to myself now." Joe said.

"How is Wally doing in National City by the way?" Kara asked.

"Last I talked to him, he's doing well. He's finishing up his masters at National City University and I hear he's already working a job at L-Corp in their engineering department." Joe said.

"Good for him." Barry said.

"Really, you're not at all bothered that Wally is working for one of your biggest competitors?" Iris asked.

"Wally and I were never really close before he left. Honestly, our relationship was more teacher and student and once he was done learning, I guess that was it." Barry said.

"Anyways, any ideas on how you two are going to make the whole long distance thing work?" Caitlin asked James and Iris.

"Actually, we're not." James said.

"Wait, did you two break up?" Joe asked.

"No, if we did James would not be here." Iris said.

"Good point." Joe said.

"James handed his resignation this morning." Kara said.

"Really." Barry said.

"Yeah, let's face it, the whole long distance thing never really works out, so I'm moving to Hub City with Iris and honestly, I've missed being an actual photographer, getting out there, so I got an interview to work at the same outlet as Iris as a photographer." James said.

"Well, congratulations Jimmy." Barry said.

"Back on the topic of L-Corp slightly, how's Sam holding up?" Iris asked.

"She's a quick study and some of her more advanced powers have begun to activate. She may not want to become a superhero, but she definitely has the makings of one." Kara said.

"What are you talking about?" Nia asked.

"You didn't tell her?" Caitlin asked Cisco, since they'd brought Nia into the fold completely after Cisco had told her that he was vibe.

"She never asked." Cisco said.

"Tell me what?" Nia asked.

"Samantha Arias is kryptonian. It's a long story, but Kara's been training her how to use her powers, since they only recently became active." Cisco said.

"Any chance you could do the same for me?" Nia asked.

"What?" Kara asked, though she was secretly excited, since they needed more aliens on the team if you asked her.

"Like I'm sure Cisco told you, my mother is from the planet Naltor and I inherited her powers that allow me to actually dream the future, but I know I can do more than that. I was hoping you could help me." Nia said.

"I can try and help you train, since while I don't know a ton about your species, I can take you to the same place I take Sam to train and I'm sure we can find more information there." Kara offered.

"Thank you." Nia said gratefully.

After the party, Henry stayed behind to help Joe clean up.

"You don't have to do this Henry." Joe said.

"Actually Joe, I wanted to ask you something." Henry said.

"What?" Joe asked.

"It's been months and while I know Barry and Kara said it was okay if I stayed with them for the time being, but I'm starting to feel like maybe I've overstayed my welcome there. They assure that's not the case, but ..." Henry said.

"But you don't want to keep living with your son. What happened to the plan of getting your medical license back?" Joe asked.

"It's still the plan, but it turns out even when you're falsely convicted of murder, it's hard to get your medical license back, plus, Kara also suggested that I also try and become a doctor in alien physiology as well, so that takes some extra time and studying." Henry said.

"And you're hoping I'll let you crash here until you find your own place." Joe said.

"Yeah." Henry said.

"Henry, considering I'm the man who locked you up for something you didn't do, the least I can do is let you stay here until you're able to get your license back and find a job." Joe said.

"I didn't want to play that card, but it is nice to know that I can use that card in the future." Henry said and Joe chuckled.

"Very funny Henry. But yes, of course you can stay here. I'll help you clear your stuff out of Barry and Kara's tomorrow." Joe said and Henry nodded.

"Thanks Joe." Henry said gratefully.
