"So, did you find Wally?" Joe asked when Barry returned from the speed force.

"Yeah I did. He's fine, he's with the Legends, I guess Sara restored his memories, but he said that once the legends are done with their current mission, he'll come back to Central City." Barry said and Iris could tell that something had happened in the speed force that Barry wasn't telling them and it was clear it was getting to him.

"Barry, is everything okay?" Iris asked.

"Yeah, I'm fine." Barry said, but neither Joe or Iris were fooled.

"Barry, what's going on?" Joe asked.

"Let's just say I discovered another change in this reality post Crisis." Barry said.

"And that is?" Iris asked.

"It's one that actually affects my family, since while I was in the speed force, I found out that I am not the first Flash of this earth." Barry said.

"Wait what?" Joe asked.

"Apparently there was another Flash in the 90s, who's activities were kept top secret, which is why there's no record of him existing. I met him while I was in the speed force." Barry said.

"Who?" Iris asked.

"Jay Garrick. But not the Jay we knew." Barry said.

"What does that have to do with your family?" Joe asked.

"Apparently Jay was married. His wife's name was Joan. Joan Allen." Barry said.

"Your grandmother." Joe said and Barry nodded.

"Yeah, my dad's mother." Barry said.

"So, you inherited your metahuman gene from your grandfather. And so did Jesse. But why didn't your dad get it?" Iris asked.

"I guess the metagene can skip a generation. But honestly, I don't think my dad even knew about his dad. At least, since we restored his memories, he hasn't shown any indication about it." Barry said.

"Then you need to tell him. And Jesse." Iris said.

"I'm going to tell them both, but I'll wait until after I've talked to my dad before I tell Jesse. Right now, I'm just trying to figure out how to bring the topic up with my dad, since he always shot Jesse and I down whenever we tried to ask about his dad." Barry said.

"Barry, you just need to insist on it." Iris said.

"I know, but that doesn't mean he'll listen." Barry said.

"I used to think that about Nora too. But she came around and I know your dad will too." Iris said.

"I hope you're right." Barry said as he sped out.

"Iris, it's training time. If you've mastered teleporting through mirrors, what do you think about seeing what else you can do?" Cisco asked as he entered the room.

"Do I get to wear my suit?" Iris asked and Cisco chuckled.

"That's completely up to you." Cisco said.

"Speaking of suits, we found Wally and he's with the legends, so start working on his suit." Joe said.

"Copy that." Cisco said with a grin.

When Barry arrived at his dad's new apartment, he took a deep breath before knocking on the door, and hoping that his father was home.

"Hey Slugger, what a nice surprise." Henry said as he opened the door and hugged his son.

"Hey dad, is now a good time?" Barry asked.

"Of course, come on in. I've actually been trying to find a time to invite you and your sister over to see my new place." Henry said as he showed Barry in.

"Wow, this place is nice." Barry said as he walked in.

"Yeah, I bought it with some of the money I got from the settlement the state gave me for 15 years of wrongful incarceration." Henry said and Barry smiled.

"Well, it's nice and you should throw a housewarming party." Barry said.

"Barry, we both know that's not why you came over here. What's going on?" Henry asked.

"Okay dad, this is a topic I know you don't want to talk about, but this time, I think we need to." Barry said.

"What is it?" Henry asked.

"Your dad." Barry said.

"Barry, the man drove my mother and me away when I was five and I haven't seen him since." Henry said.

"So grandma never told you." Barry said.

"Told me what?" Henry asked.

"Grandpa was like Jesse and I, a speedster." Barry said.

"Wait, what?" Henry asked.

"Yeah. I recently reached out through the speed force trying to find Joe's son Wally and when I did, I also learned that the reason grandma and grandpa got divorced is because he was a speedster. In fact, he was the first Flash." Barry said.

"Now it all makes sense. Why my mom didn't want me around him. She didn't want me to get sucked into that world. Though I did anyways, since it appears that my father passed on his powers to my kids." Henry said.

"Yeah, I guess so. Though I'm kind of surprised that after we restored your memories, you didn't put it together, considering the fact that your dad's name was." Barry said.

"Jay Garrick." Henry said.

"Exactly. Dad, your father was a hero. The reason no one knew about him is because unlike me, his actions were done in complete secrecy, as were the actions of his teammates, the second Justice Society of America." Barry said.

"All this time I thought he abandoned me, but instead, it turns out that he was trying to keep me safe." Henry said, feeling guilty for how he'd thought of his father until now.

"Parents can surprise you and they're not always the people we think they are." Barry said as he thought of Nora and her relationship with Iris before he and his dad continued talking.
