FLARROWE'EN DAY 11: Favorite character who's also a creature?

McSnurtle the turtle.

This little turtle was given to Barry and Iris as a housewarming gift by the late HR Wells. While we all didn't realize that the creature in the question was supposed to be on the supernatural side, I managed to get in first with my suggest of McSnurtle and for some reason people started choosing it. I'm not complaining ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ ( -Mod Lyss)

Honorable Mentions: Charlie, Mona Wu.

Tomorrow... Most terrifying power/ability?

Any time there's a scene in the WA loft, I'm looking around for McSnurtle. Like in that Joe and Barry scene I was like 👀 👀 where is McSnurtle? Are they ever going to mention him again?

[spaceoperetta]

Jay and Joan Garrick come to Earth-1 for a visit/Barry and Iris’s wedding and Joan ends up talking about all the other speedsters they’ve met, including a giant cartoony turtle whose costume was almost exactly like her husband’s old one, Mercury hat and all.

“Good ‘ol McSnurtle. Sends us interdimensional Christmas cards.”

Barry and Iris both choke on their drinks

Barriscowest looking after McSnurtle?

Send me a ship and a prompt and I’ll write something for you

“No, not that one,” Iris said shaking her head.

Cisco sighed. This was the third pet store they’d visited and Iris had found a reason to hate everything he and Barry suggested.  “Okay well what about this one?” he asked indicating the tank next to the one Iris had just vetoed.

“That’s way too small for him,” she complained.

“Iris you know what’s small?” Cisco began. “That tiny ass bowl HR brought him in.”

“Cisco’s right, we’ve gotta get him something suitable soon,” Barry agreed. “Just pick one.”

“I can’t just pick one,” Iris replied affronted. “McSnurtle deserves the best,” she said walking around to the other side of the aisle. Barry and Cisco followed after her.

“Well what are you looking for in a turtle tank that you haven’t found at the two other stores we’ve been to today?” Cisco questioned.

“That!” Iris exclaimed excitedly, pointing to a box on the bottom shelf. The box depicted a round glass tank, three feet in diameter, with a self cleaning filter and artificial wildlife. “That’s the one,” she declared.

“Iris that’s $160,” Barry gawked. “That’s ridic-”

“It’s perfect babe, let’s get it,” Cisco cut him off.

“Awesome, I’ll go get one of the employees to get it off the shelf,” Iris announced before walking away to find someone.

“Dude, that thing is way too expensive,” Barry told Cisco.

“It’s also the first and probably only thing she likes. And McSnurtle will love the extra space and all those fake little plants,” Cisco said. At Barry’s still doubtful look he added, “It’ll be fine, we’ll all pitch in.”

Iris came back with a store clerk and a cart and they rolled the tank to the front after positioning it carefully in the cart. When the cashier asked if they needed help finding anything else, Iris suddenly snapped her head up.

“Do you have those big rocks so our turtle has a place to sit outside of the water? And what about a heating lamp? Oh and those little pebbles for the bottom of the tank, y’know the colorful ones?” she asked.

“Those will all be in aisle four,” he told her.

“Great, thanks,” she said before jogging back to the aisle. When she returned she held two bags of pebbles, a large platform of a rock, and a box with a picture of a lightbulb on it between her arms and her chin. She stacked them up on the conveyor belt with a smile. “He’s gonna love these.”

Back at the apartment, Barry and Cisco worked together to haul the tank through the door and onto the table while Iris directed them. Once they got it out of the box it came in, Iris took over. She poured the pebbles in until she was satisfied with the amount and began arranging the plants around the rock. When she was finished, she filled it with water.

While Iris was working on the tank, the boys had been standing over McSnurtle in his bowl, speaking quietly to him and stroking their fingers down his shell. At Iris’ prompting Barry picked up the bowl and carried it over to the larger tank. Cisco reached in and carefully lifted McSnurtle and released him in the water of his new home.

He swam around contentedly and the three of them beamed down at him. Iris put the lid on and attached the heating lamp overhead. She clapped her hands together, “Look at him, we did it!”

“He does look happy,” Barry conceded.

“And you wanted to get him something cheap,” Iris said playfully.

“Well I say now’s the perfect time to take his first picture,” Cisco proposed. “We gotta make sure everyone knows we’ve got the cutest turtle in the world.”

Iris rolled her eyes but pulled out her phone anyway, snapping several pictures from different angles while Cisco and Barry did the same on their phones. By the time they finished, McSnurtle had stopped his swimming and gone to sleep.

headcanon: mcsnurtle the turtle becomes a therapy pet for barry. whenever he comes back from a mission, he just lies down on the floor with his cowl down and lets the turtle crawl all over him for HOURS. iris tries to get him off the floor in vain and resorts to sitting down with him to play with mcsnurtle
