Rating: PG

Word Count: 629

A/N: For Iris West Allen Week. Based on the Day Two prompt: Fave Family Relationship.

Iris woke up from the feeling of someone tugging her sleeve.

Her eyes snapped open to the darkness of her bedroom. She felt a jolt through her body at being awakened and not knowing why. But she soon calmed down when she heard her five year old daughter whispering to her.

“Mama? Mama are you awake?”

Iris reached over to turn on the bedside lamp bathing the dark room in a orange glow. She could now clearly see Nora standing beside her bed, dressed in her purple unicorn pyjammas gazing up at Iris with big eyes. Iris could tell by the darkness outside her bedroom window that it wasn’t even close to being morning yet.

“Nora baby, what are you doing up?”

Nora's bottom lip wobbled a little as her big brown eyes looked up at her anxiously. Her favorite stuffed Flash toy clutched to her chest like a lifeline.

“I had a bad dream,” Nora whispered to her quietly, “Can I sleep with you?”

Iris debated her options for a moment. She didn't want Nora to get into the habit of sleeping in their bed every time she wanted to. But at the same time she didn't want to send Nora back to bed scared and unable to sleep.

“Please mama,” Nora softly pleaded.

“Okay baby girl,” Iris pulled back the covers and scooched back to make room. “But only for tonight.”

Nora grined big and wide as she happily climbed into bed next to Iris. Once they were both settled Iris reached out to click the lamp light off again.

Iris smiled as she felt Nora cuddle in close and lay her head on Iris's chest as she let out a small yawn. Putting her arm around her daughter Iris rubbed her hand up and down Nora's back soothingly.

“What did you dream about?” Iris asked Nora after a minute.

She felt Nora's small back tense briefly before she relaxed again when Iris kissed the top of her head.

“I dreamed that monsters were chasing me,” Nora mumbled.

“Monsters huh?” Iris pulled Nora in even closer. “Were they really scary?”

“Really, really scary.” Nora's voice went up a higher pitch as she kept speaking. “They had glowing red eyes and big fangs. I had to keep running away from them.”

“Oh honey I'm sorry. Did they catch you?”

“Nuh uh. I'm too fast.”

“Just like your dad then,” Iris had to hold back her laughter. “But listen baby if you can't out run the momsters then I'll chase them off for you.”

“You promise?” Nora asked in a quiet voice.

“I promise,” Iris said as her eyes started to drift close.”Now lets go back to sleep.”

Hours later Iris woke up again but this time to the sounds of her husband returning home after a night of patroling the city. She could hear him quietly move about their bedroom and change for bed. As he came towards the bed he instantly noticed Nora being there.

“Nora? Sweetheart what are you doing here?” Barry whispered as the bed dipped under his added weight when he slipped under the covers.

“Had a bad dream,” Nora mumbled sleepily.

“Ah I see,” Barry said with amusement in his voice. “Are you okay now?”

“Yep,” Nora yanwed and shifted to move closer to Iris. “Mama promised to chase the monsters off.”

“Well your mommy is the best at chasing off monsters,” Barry agreed as he tucked the covers around Nora before setting down beside his family. 

Iris smiled to herself as she drifted off back to sleep surrounded by her family.

Iris West Allen Week: Day 6

This is my Day 6 entry for @iriswestallenweek

Purple Lightning Like Mine (A West-Allen Family Fic)

(Iris West Allen is the Flash and Nora wants to be just like her mom when she grows up.)

“Daddy, who’s your favorite superhero?” young Nora asked as she hopscotched around on the way home.

Barry was picking his daughter up from school and Nora had been talking about her day. It was one of Barry’s favorite parts of the day. he loved to hear about the world from the eyes of a first grader. Today, they talked about what superpowers they wished they could have.

“My favorite superhero is Mommy,” Barry answered honestly. “Who’s yours?”

“Mommy,” Nora answered, still prancing around as they continued their walk home.

“Oh really?” Barry asked. “Do you want to have superspeed?”

Barry watched her curiously as she pondered the question. Barry and Iris didn’t keep secrets about Iris’ superspeed with Nora. They tried to be completely open and honest with her. Nora knew that Mommy was a superhero, the Flash. She knew that Iris’ identity was a secret and that only a few people were allowed to know that Iris was the Flash.

“I think so,” Nora said, and Barry was genuinely surprised to hear it.

“Really?” Barry asked. He and Iris discussed the possibility of Nora having superspeed ever since they first found out they were pregnant with her. So far, there had no signs of Nora having superspeed, but they were planning for it the best they could.

“I want to go run with Mommy,” Nora said, and Barry smiled.

“I think Mommy would really love that.”

 When the two reached the house, Barry was surprised to see Iris there. She was sitting on the couch, her laptop on her lap.

“Mommy!” Nora said running up to give Iris a hug. Barry noticed that her left arm was wrapped in bandages.

“Hey kiddo, how was school?” Iris asked, and Nora started telling her about her day at school.

Barry went to put Nora’s backpack away and started to prepare for dinner while his two girls bonded in the living room. Iris didn’t get to spend a lot of down time with Nora throughout the week. between her job as a reporter and being the city’s hero, her time was Nora was usually spent making sure the necessities are taken care of (eating dinner and getting Nora ready for bed). So, he knew that Iris was enjoying some leisure time with Nora.

***

After dinner, Barry insisted on cleaning up while Iris gave Nora a bath and got her ready for bedtime. He joined the two for the bedtime story. Iris was telling Nora stories from their childhood and Barry couldn’t help but smile at the memories.

When Nora was down, Barry and Iris reconvened in the living room.

“We have a cute kid, Bear,” Iris said as she sat back down on the couch. She closed her laptop and sat it on the coffee table.

Barry joined her on the couch, placing his hand on her knee.

“We do,” he smiled. “How was your day?”

“Long,” she sighed. “Work was fine, I have an article to finish up tonight, but other than that I got everything done today. Our meta, on the other hand, I canvassed the city five times, we have no idea where he is.”

“Is Cisco still working on the satellites?” Barry asked.

“Yes, he’s getting closer, but it’s just frustrating that we’ve been searching for him for months and still have nothing,” Iris vented.

Barry nodded understandably. Iris leaned over to rest her head on his shoulder. He wrapped his arm around her shoulder and pressed a kiss to the side of her head.

“You know.. Nora says you’re her favorite superhero and that she wants to have superspeed like you,” Barry says after a moment of silence.

“She said that?” Iris asked excitedly, sitting up to read his facial expression.

“Yeah,” Barry laughed. “She did.”

Iris smiled proudly and rested her head back on Barry’s shoulder.

“Do you think we can handle to metahuman kid?” Iris asked.

“I think we can handle anything,” Barry said surely.

“Do you think she’d have purple lightning like mine?” Iris asked.

Barry let out a laugh and nodded, “Yeah, I think she would.”
