Iris was trying to wrap her head around the idea that she had a brother she'd never known about. Not only that, but it sounded like they'd both been lied to by their parents, since her father had told her that her mother was dead and apparently his mother had told Wally that his father was dead, neither of which was true.

"Iris, you okay?" Barry asked, since Iris had taken a few minutes for herself to let everything soak in.

"My dad lied to me Barry. For years. I know I lied to him about me being Phoenix, but that was only for a few months and it didn't directly affect him unless I got hurt worse. But this, my mom has been alive this whole time. Not only that, but I've had a brother I never knew about until today when I suddenly find out that he's got the same powers as you." Iris said.

"Maybe you should just talk to your dad. Find out why he did what he did. It's the same advice I just gave Wally to confront your mom. Iris, you deserve answers about your family. I'll even be there for emotional support if you want." Barry said.

"Thank you Barry, but I think this is something I need to do on my own." Iris said, since she knew that Barry was trying to help, but she also knew that he had enough on his plate as it was.

"I get that. Just know that if you need anything, I'm here for you. Just because I'm dating Kara now doesn't change the fact that whatever happens, wherever we go, we'll always be best friends and we'll always have each other's backs." Barry said and Iris smiled.

"And I wouldn't have it any other way. Oh, speaking of Kara, I talked to her a few minutes ago and she mentioned that she asked you to move in with her and you responded by taking a phone call from Cisco and then running out of her loft?" Iris asked, raising an eyebrow at him as Barry laughed.

"Of course she told you about that. Before you say anything Iris, Cisco just has really bad timing like that. I was going to say yes, but then this whole thing with you apparently having a brother started. I promise, I'm going to tell her. Besides, if things go well with your family, something tells me Joe might need the extra bedroom." Barry said and Iris chuckled.

"Still trying to figure out how dad never realized either of us were vigilantes when we lived under his roof." Iris said and Barry laughed.

"Why do you think I started spending so many nights at Kara's after I got my speed. Easier to come and go without drawing suspicion." Barry said.

"I'm surprised you didn't move into the huge mansion you were left by Thawne?" Iris asked.

"No way. The labs and money he left me are great, but I've already put that mansion on the market. It's a reminder of the man who killed my mom and framed my dad. I want nothing to do with it. Plus the extra money I'll get from the sale will help pay for the business courses I'm taking at CCU." Barry said.

"So you are planning to reopen Star Labs?" Iris asked.

"Yep. This place can still do a lot of good, plus reopening the labs will justify why I'm always here." Barry said.

"But what about your CSI job?" Iris asked.

"Honestly Iris, I took that job specifically so I could get my dad out of prison and now I have. I think that maybe my time working for CCPD is starting to come to an end." Barry explained and Iris nodded in understanding.
