West Household
The Next Day

Iris, Kara, Barry, Joe & Henry were all sitting around the table, looking at pictures of Barry as a boy. "Aww. You're cheeks were so chubby," Kara gawked as Barry looked embarrassed. "Oh, this one is definitely a keeper," she continued as she gave the picture to Henry and they all laughed except Barry, who was still embarrassed.

"Oh, yeah. He could've done your standard vinegar and baking soda volcano, but no, Barry wanted to do a molecular structure of chocolate and nougat," Joe said.

"Aww," Kara hummed.
"That's his favorite candy bar."
"That's my favorite candy bar."

Barry & Kara looked at each other slightly and tensely before looking back at everyone. "I mean, come on. Who does that in the sixth grade?" Iris asked, as she continued the conversation with Joe & Henry, who didn't notice Barry & Kara's glances.

"Why, a true science nerd," Henry said.

"Like father, like son, I suppose," Kara said and Barry smiled.

"All right, Dad, we should get going," Barry said. Henry got up and smiled at everyone.

"Iris, thank you so much for reaching out to me. I am so glad you did," Henry siad.

"Me, too," Iris said. Then Henry turned to Kara.

"Kara. You truly are incredible. You take care of my son..Iris..Joe...in a blink of an eye," Henry said and Kara started to smile giddy.

"They're my family," she said.

"Aww," Iris said before she hugged Kara, and Kara giggled.

"Well, thank you. You believe in Barry just as much as I do. And I appreciate it," Henry said.

"You're welcome," Kara said before Henry looked at Joe.

"Joe, there are no words, man. Thanks," Henry said and Joe nodded with a smile.

"All right, I'm gonna swing by my lab before I come home," Barry said as he started to leave with Henry.

"Which reminds me...Patty?" Kara asked and Barry looked back at her. "She's a smart girl. She's not buying your whole sick story, by the way. You should talk to her."

"All right," Barry muttered.

"Patty? Would this be a new girlfriend?" Henry asked and Barry awkwardly looked at him and Kara.

"Uh, yeah, something like that, yeah. We'll talk about it on the way to the bus station. Come on," Barry said before they walked out of the house. Kara sighed before she looked at Joe, who had a slight frown.

"You okay?" Kara asked.

"It's embarrassing. I...I love Barry like he's my own son, but when I'm reminded that he isn't, I start to wonder what it would've been like if, you know-" Joe started to say and Iris & Kara were taken back with guilt, knowing that Joe did have a son.

"Dad, you would've been just as amazing with your own son, just like you were with me and Barry," Iris said and Joe nodded before he left for the kitchen. Iris & Kara looked at each other, tensely.

CCPD: Barry's Lab

Kara & Barry walked up to his lab, but with Kara dragging him. "Kara-" Barry started to say.

"Don't Kara me. You go. Now," Kara said before Barry looked into the room, where he saw Patty working. Kara then decided to push him in.

Once in, he looked back at her, and she eyed Patty, gesturing Barry to go to her. Barry slowly walked up to Patty. "I hear you've been spending a lot of time up here," Barry said and Patty looked at him, before she started to chuckle.
