Chapter 48
Barry was checking on a few things at Star Labs before he and Kara left for Metropolis when Cisco approached him.
"Barry, you need to see something in the time vault." Cisco said, much to Barry's confusion as he followed Cisco into the vault.
"What is it?" Barry asked as Cisco revealed the future newspaper, but now the article about him disappearing was gone.
"The article saying I disappear. It's gone." Barry said and Cisco nodded.
"We did it. We changed the future. Somehow, by trapping Thawne in the Speed Force, you altered the outcome. I mean, we can't change the past, it's a temporal paradox, but still, now you won't disappear in the future. You can live out a nice, long, happy life with Kara." Cisco said and Barry smiled, though Cisco could tell that he wasn't quite as relieved as he should be.
"You're thinking about Nora aren't you?" Cisco asked and Barry nodded.
"Yeah, I mean, I thought I'd be happier, knowing that I don't disappear in the future anymore, but now, all I can think about is how now there's a chance Nora will never be born." Barry said.
"As we knew her." Cisco corrected.
"What?" Barry asked.
"Barry, you and Kara could still end up having a daughter someday. Her name could still be Nora and this time you'll be there for her every step of the way." Cisco said.
"Still." Barry said.
"Barry, you were the one who wanted to send her back to the future the moment she got here. The whole reason she came here wasn't just to meet you. She came back to save you, to literally change history and herself, since if she grows up with you around, she would've become a completely different person. At least this way, if she's born and I'm sure she will be when you and Kara decide to try for a kid, she'll not only grow up with you around, but also without a desire to change history. And I mean come on, from what we heard, Iris wasn't exactly mother of the year. But Kara can be, since after all, she'd never put a power dampening chip in her own child." Cisco said and Barry's smile finally became genuine.
"I guess you're right man." Barry said.
"Of course I am. Seriously dude, you had to have known that there was a risk of changing Nora's fate when you decided to see how things went with Kara." Cisco said.
"You're right, I did and who knows, any kids we have could actually inherit both of our powers." Barry said thoughtfully.
"If so, I hope you raise those kids right so they don't try to take over the planet with their powers." Cisco said and they both chuckled at that.
"Alright man, I gotta go. You sure you and Firestorm can handle things here while Kara, Iris and I are at the wedding?" Barry asked him.
"Yeah, don't worry, we got this. You forget I did help protect this city while you were in the speed force." Cisco said and Barry nodded.
"No Kid Flash yet." Barry said.
"Don't you think Wally's ready yet?" Cisco asked.
"He's good, but I don't want him in the field without a more experienced speedster with him for now. He still has a lot to relearn." Barry said and Cisco couldn't argue with that.
"Fair enough. Oh, by the way. Here's a little wedding gift to Clark from me." Cisco said as he pulled a ring out of his pocket and tossed it to him.
"You finally finished it?" Barry asked.
"Yep. It's all set." Cisco assured him.
"Thanks man. You're in charge until we get back." Barry said as he sped out of the lab.
