"So, you've been in Central City all this time." Francine said.

"Yeah. After I found out about Dad and Iris, I decided I wanted to meet them and get to know them, since you kept me in the dark about them for so long. Iris's fiance even offered me a job at Star Labs, which is what I've been doing." Wally said.

"How did you even find out about them?" Francine asked.

"I found some old pictures of you with dad and Iris before I was born. I did some additional digging which led me to discover a detective Joe West in Central City, so I went to investigate and found out I had a father and a sister." Wally said.

"I'm sorry I didn't tell you about them." Francine said.

"Why didn't you tell me about them?" Wally asked as both Joe and Iris also looked curious about her answer.

"Because I was a coward. I didn't want to tell you because I knew you'd want to meet them and I didn't want to have to face them." Francine said, much to her shame.

"Hey, you're not the only one who spent years avoiding this confrontation. I could've found you if I really wanted to, but I didn't. I was so angry at you when you left, not for leaving me, but for leaving Iris, that I thought good riddance. I wasn't going to keep searching for someone who clearly didn't want to be found and didn't want to be a part of our family." Joe said.

"Joe, it's not that I didn't want to be a part of our family, it tore me apart to leave." Francine said.

"Then why did you do it?" Joe asked.

"Because you and Iris deserved better than what I could give you." Francine said.

"But shouldn't that have changed after I was born?" Wally asked.

"I wanted to tell you, but honestly, I was afraid." Francine said.

"Of what?" Iris asked.

"That Joe would take Wally away from me, since he's clearly better suited to be a parent than I was and I selfishly did not want to give Wally up." Francine said.

"Francine, I would've never kept either of our children from you. While yes, I may have insisted that they both live with me full time, it would've only been because you needed help, help that I didn't think you'd be able to get if you were raising a child, but I'd still let you be a part of their lives." Joe said.

"I know, but selfishly, I just wanted to keep Wally to myself and I'm sorry for that. I always intended for Wally to meet you, the more time that passed, the harder going back to Central City became." Francine said.

"I can understand that. But we do have some things we need to get figured out while we're here. Specifically, these." Joe said as he pulled out an envelope and handed it to her.

"Divorce papers." Francine said and Joe nodded.

"I already signed them and I had the DA in Central City look over them. She's going to make sure that neither of us owe each other any money, maintain a mutually similar arrangement that we've had so far, except now the kids know about each other." Joe said.

"Really." Francine asked and Joe nodded.

"Thank you." Francine said.

"So, how long are you here for?" Francine asked.

"I have actually got to go, since my boss will kill me if I'm gone any longer." Wally said.

"Well, just try to call home a little more frequently Wally, I was worried about you." Francine said and Wally nodded in agreement before heading out.

"What about you two?" Francine asked.

"We have a few days, since I was hoping to get to know my mom." Iris said with a slight smile, since that was honestly something that she'd never truly gotten to do the first time around, but now that it looked like her mother was going to live a long, healthy life, there was no reason for her not to try and form a relationship with her, even if it was only a friendship.

"I'd love nothing more." Francine said with a smile as they continued talking.
