Chapter 89

"Barry, we need to talk." Cisco said as he entered Barry's office.

"Okay, why exactly?" Barry asked.

"Because I just saw Kendra." Cisco said and that got Barry's attention.

"Wait, did she recognize you?" Barry asked.

"No, even if her powers had emerged, any memories of me would've been erased in the shift." Cisco said.

"And you're okay with that?" Barry asked.

"Honestly, it make it easier, considering she's in love with someone else, since Ray told me that Kendra told him that any love she has with anyone besides Carter is doomed to fail. It's easier on both of us if I don't even try." Cisco said.

"That's depressing. You ever think about giving Gypsy another call, see if the shift has changed her views?" Barry asked.

"Yes and I've decided that I need someone from the same universe as me. I mean, you lucked out with Kara's earth merging with this one, but now that I think about it, Gypsy and I, we were never going to work in the long run. Besides, I can do without her nutso father." Cisco said and Barry nodded in agreement.

"Anyways, now that we've found Kendra, we need to start looking for Carter and Savage." Barry said and Cisco nodded

"I'll get to work on that right now." Cisco said and Barry nodded.

"And what should we do about Kendra in the meantime?" Cisco asked.

"I'll ask Iris to keep an eye on her, since that's probably the way that would look the least suspicious to other people." Barry said and Cisco nodded.

"So, how does being Kara's assistant compare to being Cat's assistant?" James asked Iris as they sat at Noonans for a lunch date.

"It's much easier." Iris said.

"But?" James asked, knowing his girlfriend well enough to know something was bugging her.

"I don't know, I guess after Kara got promoted, I was kind of hoping I'd be promoted to. I mean, I'm grateful for this job and everything, but still, I think I've learned all I can as an assistant." Iris said.

"So talk to her about it. I mean come on, Kara made it very clear she is not Ms. Grant. Just talk to her about it and see if there's anything higher up in Catco that you could be doing, even if it isn't as a reporter." James said and Iris smiled.

"Thank you for the advice." Iris said as she checked the time on her phone.

"And we need to be getting back before our lunch break ends." Iris said and James nodded as they paid for their food and then headed back to work.

Kara was listening to Leslie's radio show and while she'd never been a fan of Leslie's even before she became Livewire, she still remembered how she'd given her life to save her own. That was why Kara was trying to find a way to discourage her from continuing her show the way it was without leading to the events that turned her into Livewire.

"Kara, can we talk?" Iris asked.

"Sure, what's up?" Kara asked her curiously as she turned off the broadcast and gestured to let Iris into her office.

"Not that I don't love being your assistant, but." Iris said.

"You were hoping I'd promote you to something else by now." Kara finished knowingly.

"How did you know?" Iris asked.

"Because I'd be thinking the same thing if I were you." Kara said.

"So?" Iris asked nervously.

"Are you camera shy?" Kara suddenly asked out of nowhere.

"Uh, no, why?" Iris asked.

"Because I've read some of your stuff on your blog and while it's good, after spend so much time with you in person, I think you've got a talent for a different kind of reporting." Kara said.

"What are you talking about?" Iris asked.

"You're calm, cool, collected and even before you got your powers, you never had a problem running into danger instead of away from it." Kara said.

"Much to my dad's discontent, though knowing I have powers does help now, but I still don't understand what this has to do with anything." Iris said.

"Iris, I want you be a field reporter for Catco TV." Kara said and Iris looked shocked.

"Are you serious?" Iris asked.

"Completely. I know it's a big decision, so take some time to think about it." Kara said.

"I'll do it." Iris said immediately and Kara chuckled.

"Okay then. But before you can officially take the position, you first have to find and train your replacement for my new assistant." Kara said and Iris nodded, since that honestly sounded more than fair, since she knew how hectic the office would get without an assistant to the boss.
