"You took our daughter to the future?" Iris said as Barry came back from his trip to the future.

"I didn't have another choice" Barry said

"Barry this isn't a decision you get to make on your own" she said "She'r our daughter"

"I know that" he said

"Yet you still left her there" iris said

"I can't trust her so that puts all of us in danger!" Barry said

"That's how you feel Barry what about asking how I feel?" Iris said

"I didn't think I had too!" He snapped

"Of course you do! You just see one way through a problem and damn what everyone else thinks!" Iris said

"What's that's supposed to mean!?" Barry says

"We've been through lots of crap as a couple and as friends but you still making decision based on your emotions" she said

"Because I'm right this time!" He yelled and she just gave him a disapproving look.

"Flashpoint? Going to the speed force leaving everyone? Were you right those times?" She asked

"You think I wanted to do this?" Barry said "This it was easy? Seeing Nora looking at me, begging for forgiveness knowing I might never get to see her like that again."

"What about me, I didn't even get to say goodbye?!" Iris yelled

"Damn it Iris, she lied to us for months!" He said

"And she explained why?" Iris said matching his tone

"That she was working with Thawne?" Barry said and looked and Iris and noticed that it didn't phase her. "It doesn't bother you" he said more softly

"No it doesn't" she said

"Maybe if he murdered your mother it would" Barry said

"Maybe because you felt differently is why we should have made this decision together. She just wanted to see you Barry. The father that she never knew and there was one person that could teach her who to do that. Is it that hard to understand what she would go to him?" Iris said

"It doesn't matter if I understand it, Thawne is manipulating her" Barry said and Iris sighs in disappointment.

"He's on death row, how is he manipulating her?" Iris said

"You know if this were anybody else you'd back me but because it's Nora, the person who finally stopped hating you. You refuse to see how dangerous it is. You talk about making decisions based on emotions look in the mirror." He said and then she walked away.

Barry went back upstairs in the cortex and saw Dawn, Caitlin, Cisco and Sherlock.  "Where did Joe and Cecil go?" He asked

"They had to go take care of Jenna" Caitlin said and he nodded.

"Where's Iris?" Cisco asked

"I don't know, were not seeing eye to eye right now" Barry said

"Because?" Dawn asked

"I took Nora home for good" Barry said

"Just like that" Caitlin said

"Well it's the only thing to do, Nora can't be trusted" Sherlock said and everyone stared at him. "I can tell by your faces the she was upset but you understood that the truth had to come out."

"We understand that but you don't understand that this is a family, you didn't include anyone in this." Caitlin said

"Sherlock you've done enough" Barry said
