A girls gotta be her own hero every now and again.

“Yeah, this town is actually rather small, compared to National City at least, I feel like that has more desert and stuff since it’s more Southern California.” She muses and nods her head. “Do you ever wonder what it could be like if there weren’t Heroes or Villains? That’s a crazy thought.”

“I think about that all the time, I’m not sure how I feel about it though.” She told her friend. “Like, in theory it sounds great -- no more bad guys terrorizing everyone. But like, what would we even do with all of that free time? I think we’d all go nuts after long enough.”

“WHEN YOU HAVE ALL THAT blood mixed together normal isn’t ever an option.” Bart chuckled, which it might be good that he can laugh about it now, rather than dwelling on it like he does time-to-time. The minute they got inside of the lab, he was excited and sped off to quickly change into the new suit. He returned in front of his grandmother and showed it off, sliding the goggles down over his eyes. “New and improved, Impulse!”

“Woah, that looks so cool!” Iris gushed, looking over the new and improved suit. There weren’t many differences from the last time she saw the suit, when Bart showed on her doorstep after a good deed went wrong. Honestly, Iris didn’t pay much attention to the Impulse get up that night, there were far more pressing matters, so she never got to really check it out until now.  “Show me what all the new gadgets do? Or are they just part of the look?”

Clark laughed and smiled. “Oh, you know. I saved the world.” He exaggerated before shaking his head. “The little old lady wouldn’t let me leave her house after helping her with her groceries until she gave me cookies.” He said. “Please, take as many as you want. They’re fresh and really good.” He offered.

“Oh, is that all?” Iris asked very sarcastically. “That was very sweet of you though, she must’ve really appreciated it.” She commented, before she offered him a smile. “Bringing in groceries for the elderly, and offering sweets to strangers? How do you find the time for all of these good deeds?”

kryptcniisms:

“I have actually met him! I just don’t think that he actually told me his last name or else I would have figured that he could be related to you guys.” She laughs and shrugs softly. “Normal is overrated anyways.” Kara jokes and adjusts her glasses slightly.

"You did? That's so awesome. Star city is kind of a small place, I guess it was inevitable." She shrugged, offering a small smile. "Yeah, you're totally right. I mean, all this craziness can be a lot sometimes, but it's worth it in the end. All the good you do,and all the people you get to save. It’s scary to even think about what the world would be like without all of it.”

kryptcniisms:

“Oh?” Her eyes slightly widen as she wraps that thought around her head, honestly nothing like that really surprised her anymore, but it still took her a couple of seconds. “That is really cool! A bit crazy, yeah, but Aliens, Metahumans, time-traveling and other Earth’s? Crazy is a part of our lives.”

“Sounds a whole lot less crazy when you compare it to metahumans and other earth’s, but yeah, it’s kind of insane. Good insane though, he’s awesome, you need to meet him soon!” She exclaimed, her excitement ringing clear in her voice. “I’ve finally gotten used to all of the crazy I think, I barely remember what normal even felt like anymore.”

“That’s because Joe is weak to my special look.” He chuckled, waiting patiently as she looked over the menu. Joe was always a little too soft when it came to him or Iris so he felt that didn’t exactly count. “Definitely, on both accounts. You can never have too much chocolate.” He paused, glancing down at the menu. “And maybe add something in with red velvet?” He suggested with a playful grin.

“Yeah, he did have a pretty big soft spot for you, unfair advantage.” She agreed, looking back fondly at the handful of memories that came to mind. “He was way easier on you though, for the record.” She added. “Yes! Red velvet, perfect. I can’t wait to see the look on the waitress’ face when we order two entire cakes for ourselves.” She laughed. Of course, they’d both gotten used to the funny looks they got when they went out to eat and just about ordered everything on the menu. Now it was more amusing than anything else. “Maybe we should grab them to go, y’know, avoid all the staring. And I don’t know about you, but I think cake always tastes better when you’re eating it in sweatpants on the couch.”

“THAT’S SMART, I think grandpa will really appreciate the gesture.” Bart grinned as he walked to the lab. “You’re right, Jay and Joan did their best, trying to make me think like a normal kid. Even though I’m far from normal and all of that.” He laughed a bit. 

“You’re part West, part Allen, and part Thawne, there’s no way normal was ever an option, kiddo.” Iris pointed out, with a small chuckle. Iris’ smile grew as soon as they got to the lab, eager to see the new suit, and finally get to see Bart in action. “Alright, show me what kinda sweet gear Cisco hooked you up with, I’m dying to see it all!”

“Yes, Ma’am. Yes, the same Clark Kent from Metropolis. No, really, it wasn’t a problem. I didn’t mind helping you with your groceries. You really didn’t need to bake cookies especially for me.” Clark gave a smile and laughed gently. “Thank you, though. I hope you enjoy my articles in the Sentinel as well as you did the ones in the Daily Planet.” He said before giving the elderly woman another smile and stepping back out onto the sidewalk and heading down the road.

Clark looked down at the small Tupperware container and the chocolate chip cookies inside, smiling and shaking his head some. Some people were just too kind. The man popped open the lid and took one of the treats from within, sticking it in his mouth and breaking off a bite. The cookie was still warm and the sweet flavor reminded him of the baked treats Martha would give him growing up on the farm, usually when Jonathan wasn’t looking and he was supposed to have been helping with the chores.  Offering the open tub to someone walking up nearby, he gave them a grin. “Cookie? Courtesy of a sweet elderly woman who wouldn’t take no for an answer.” He chuckled.

Still buzzing from the thrill of finishing a really good, hard-hitting piece, Iris decided to take what was left of her work-day off, and put her last finishing touches on her piece from the comfort of her couch, before she sent it in, since she was ahead of schedule, which was a rarity. Today, she decided to take another route home, a slightly longer one, so she could stop into her favorite bakery on her way home. “Excuse me?” Iris looked over when she heard a sudden voice. She recognized the man as soon as her eyes landed on him, though she didn’t know him personally, and he surely didn’t know her. She was very familiar with his work.After all, everyone was familiar with Clark Kent’s work. “They look good, what’d you do to deserve ‘em, anyway?” She asked curiously.

“I have a whole lot of time, but you don’t have to tell me if you don’t want to, of course.” She states and nods her head slowly. “That makes sense, wait, who’s Bart? Star City and Central City seem quite alike from what I have seen.”

“Bart’s my grandson, actually.” It felt weird to say that out loud, aside from Barry and Cisco most people didn’t know. That was the thing about time travel, it was delicate, and the more people who knew, the more risks would come along with that knowledge. But Kara was different, she had already proven herself more than trustworthy in Iris’ eyes. She trusted Kara with her life. “Mine and Barry’s.” She added. “From the future, obviously. Crazy, isn’t it?”

Barry chuckled, shaking his head. “I’ve never been good at lying to you and it has nothing to do with my terrible acting skills,” he admitted honestly. His smile grew wider as he saw Iris take the menu and he was already imagine the copious amount of chocolate treats and other deserts they would have on the table next. “Always. Make sure you order plenty.”

“You’re not that bad of an actor, I remember you pulling a couple fast ones on my dad over the years.” Iris pointed out, while trying, and failing to contain her laughter to herself. “Plenty. Gotcha.” She nodded, and dropped the menu down onto the table. “Double chocolate fudge cake?” Iris recommended, pointing down to it on the menu before she glanced up at Barry with a child-like grin. “Like, the whole thing?”

impulscs:

“YOU’LL HAVE TO MAKE SURE he brings a cane with him when he’s racing around.” Bart grinned, thinking the mental image was quite comical. He started walking towards the lab with Iris, excited for her to see the suit. “It was totally a good thing even though I hated it when I was a kid.” 

“I’ll make sure he always  keeps one handy.” Iris nodded in agreement. She followed Bart’s lead toward the lab, so excited she felt like she could just burst. “Well, you turned into a pretty great kid, so Jay must have had the right idea when he was raising you..”

“Well, guess we’ll just have to trust future grandma Iris. Let’s hope she doesn’t turn out to be evil you from another dimension and is taking revenge on us because we killed McSnurtle the Turtle by accident.” Cisco grinned, coming up with the most ridiculous scenario he could think of. Though, with what goes on in this little earth of theirs, it could be a possibility. Murphy’s law and all. Cisco nodded, agreeing. “Yeah, no kidding. Hopefully we’ll never have to deal with that again.” Zoom was not a fun time for any of them.

“Well that took a dark turn.” Iris commented, those thoughts never having crossed her mind until now. “You shouldn’t worry so much, things are okay for now, you should try to enjoy that while we still can.” She noted. It was true, it felt like any time things seemed to be going fine, it wasn’t long until some kind of impending threat, or outbreak of chaos came along to ruin it. “We beat him once, I’m sure we could do it again.”

kryptcniisms:

“You are absolutely right.” She nods her head, and lets out a small laugh, it wasn’t much, but it was still a laugh. “Of course! Anyways! I’m curious to know, what brought you along to Star City?”

“Oh, well it’s sort of a long story--” Iris began, letting out a bit of a sigh. “Stuff in Central City was just... crazy, more than usual, and I don’t know-- I had a good job offer here in Star City, with everything going on it just felt like the right time.” She explained. “It’s not so bad here. I mean you’re here, Bart’s here, Barry’s here, Cisco too. So it still kinda feels like home.”

[lrls]

thescarletspeedster:

“Sorry.” He scratched the back of his head sheepishly, staring down at the last empty plate in front of him. “I’m not that bad,” he complained, dark and light hues clashing when he met Iris’ gaze. “Okay, maybe I am but is that really a thing I want to be good at?”

“No, no. It’s a good thing, a really good thing.” Iris reassured him, a warm smile spread across her face as she did. “Probably not great for the whole keeping a secret identity as a superhero thing, but it’s good for me.” She commented, just before  leaning forward to snatch a desert menu off of the table. “You’ve got room for desert, right?”

impulscs:

“WHAT A DRAG, he is getting old huh? Although that doesn’t mean anything, look at Jay! He’s older and one of the best speedsters I know. He’s tough as nails, wouldn’t let me get away with anything when I was younger.” Bart spoke as he crossed his arms playfully. “I like the sound of that, lets do it!” The boy shot up from his seat and was already in motion for this plan.

“Next thing you know he’s gonna be racing around with a walker, just wait and see.” Iris carried on, laughing loudly at the mental image that came along with the thought. “Cool, let’s go!” Smiling ear-to-ear as she shot up from her seat. “My dad was a hard ass too, I totally know the feeking.”
