believing in the impossible

IRIS WEST-ALLEN Twenty Eight - Journalist "To understand what I'm about to tell you, you need to do something first. You need to believe in the impossible. Can you do that? Good."

[westirisx]

Iris sighed as yet another interview went downhill fast. Every time she thinks there is potential they hit her with the ‘so when do I get to meet the Flash.’ She thought maybe hiring friends was the easier option. They seemed to be working out great. “This is never going to work...” she mumbled to herself as she opened to laptop to see if there was anyone else that day. A knock at the door took her out of her slum and she perked up a little. “Come in..” she said leaning back in her chair.

[ text: iris ] i know we said you’d cook dinner tonight, but promise me you’ll wait until i’m home? we don’t want a repeat of last time.

Barry was happy that Iris was excited to hone her skills in cooking, but he would be lying if he said he wasn’t skeptical about the whole endeavor. The pair had attempted cooking together time and time again, both from the comfort of home, as well as countless couples cooking courses. Each time, something was either under or over cooked, something got broken, or a fire started.

His key slipped easily into the lock while his other hand turned the knob, pushing the door open. Barry’s nose was immediately hit with the smell of spices, hot oil, and smoke.

His bag slid from his shoulder as he kicked the door shut, movements frantic as he moved toward the kitchen. “Iris?” She stood above the stove, fanning a potholder frantically. “Iris, baby. What happened?”

Iris rolled her eyes seeing the text message come in from Barry. She wasn’t that bad. This was an easy dinner, how hard could she possibly mess this up? As if on queue the fire alarm went off and the room was filled with smoke. “Crap!” Iris mumbled out loud as she blew on the pot before taking a pot holder and towel and fanning the smoke detector. 

Nothing was working and the room just kept filling up with smoke. Grabbing a chair, she stood up to get closer to the detector to just stop the noise. Upon hearing Barry’s voice, she yelped and almost fell backwards. After catching her breath and the smoke detector went off, she sighed as she looked at her husband. “I just wanted to at least start something...there isn’t even any food in the pan. I literally just burned water and oil...I’m a mess,” she sighed as she straightened out her hair. “We should have just ordered Big Belly Burger.”

The images of her boys beaming gumily at her through the Facetime call brought a wide smile to Lois’s face. She cooed gently at them and pressed a few kisses to the screen before the camera was turned back towards her husband. “I already miss them,” she admitted with a chuckle. “I stocked the fridge with enough formula to feed an entire maternity ward, so you and Barry should be set until Iris and I return,” she instructed, giggling at the sound of the fastest man alive fawning over her babies in the background. After assuring Clark that she would have a good time and leave the boys to Clark, she hung up with their typical ‘I love yous’.

“I don’t think leaving them is going to get easy anytime soon” she joked, though her heart did ache being away from them. “But, thank you for getting me out of the house. I could use a girl’s day” with a grin she looped her arm through her dark haired companion. “And please let there be wine involved” 

Iris smiled as she peaked over Lois’ shoulder at her boys. They were the cutest and sweetest things she had ever seen. Not to mention she was a little jealous about it. She chuckled at the thought of Clark and Barry taking care of the boys. “You’re literally the cutest with them,” Iris laughed when Lois got off the phone. 

“I can imagine. Just wait till they start school. Jenna is only in pre school and my dad literally watches the cameras all the time,” she playfully rolled her eyes. “Oh no problem. You’ve been busting your butt since they’ve been born. You needed a little down time.” Iris gave Lois a look at the mention of wine. “Girl...it’s me, there will always be wine involved. Now let’s just hope we don’t need our superheroes to do anything while we’re having fun.”

“It’s fine,” he inhaled a shallow breath. “Just pick out the shell before you beat the egg, Iris.”

@westirisx​

Iris looked defeated at the bowl and sighed as the shell floated around like a sad missing piece. “I told you this was going to be impossible.” Iris sighed as she picked out the shell. “Now what?”

@westirisx​ said:   “Is it just me or does Santa look extra hot this year?”

With a red Santa hat sitting atop his head, Barry grinned from ear-to-ear as he leaned against the door frame of Iris’ office at The Citizen.  “Is that so?” Barry teased, fingers running along his clean-shaven chin. “In that case, this Santa needs to work on his facial hair.”

[westirisx]

Iris smirked as she saw Barry walk in with the Santa hat on. Standing up, she walked over to him and wrapped her arms around his neck. "Very much so. I can dig a sexy Santa," she laughed before making a face at him. "I have told you before...I wouldn't mind you with some facial hair. It's a good look for you," Iris touched his face before attacking his cheeks with kisses. "I am done for the day. Want to go Christmas shopping?"

[westirisx]

You woke me up at four in the morning to open christmas gifts like a child. At least let me make a cup of coffee first. We don’t even have kids!”

"Yes, yes I did. How can you be so broody that you don't wake up early on Christmas? Also, you sir have a whole ass teenager that I'm sure still wakes up early on Christmas. Party pooper...and to think I was going to give you Grandma Esther's Eggnog."

“Completely old-fashioned,” he parroted, his smile matching hers as he wrapped his arms around her waist. “I’m beginning to realize more and more that sometimes, I just need to slow down. Especially right now.” As the pair kissed and parted ways, Barry moved to the corner and began to unbox their Christmas tree, assembling it piece by piece at a human pace as he listened to the simple, ambient sounds that filled their apartment. “We haven’t really talked about the holidays yet, with work keeping both of us busy. Any idea what you might want to see under the Christmas tree this year?”

“I’ll believe it when I see it, Allen,” she chuckled shaking her head. It was nice to hear that Barry wanted to take things slow. Their life had always seemed to be in overdrive with barely any breathing room. “Good because there isn’t a big bad to interrupt us this time,” Iris smiled hoping she didn’t just jinx the evening. Iris walked into their kitchen and swiftly made the hot chocolate; the only thing she never screwed up. Once she was done, she walked into the living room with two mugs filled with the warm liquid setting them on the coffee table. “Honestly you coming home alive is all I ever want,” she walked over and kissed his head as a hand ran through his hair, “and any piece of sparkly jewelry is always a plus in my book.” Iris made herself comfortable on the floor with her mug as she watched Barry assemble the tree.

“Hey Babe? What do you think about putting up the Christmas tree tonight?” Their loft apartment felt empty without any decoration, but with the rebuilding of the city, there hadn’t been too much time between things. “We can do it the old-fashioned way, no powers allowed.”

Iris looked up from her laptop then around their very empty loft. Looking back at her blank word document, she smiled as she closed it and leaned back in the chair. “I would love to put up the tree. Old-fashioned way, huh? Will you be able to hold back on no powers?” she chuckled as she glanced over at the boxes in the corner filled with Christmas decorations. She got up and walked over to Barry wrapping her arms around his neck. “You get everything out and I’ll make us some hot chocolate.” Iris kissed his lips and smiled as she walked into the kitchen. At least hot chocolate was something she could handle.

Iris West-Allen & Allegra Garcia, The Flash, Armageddon Part 3

[tritagonistic]

[westirisx]

barryfrackinallen​:

Standing atop the mayoral float, The Flash smiled and waved at the crowd, grateful to see faces smiling back, amidst the hardships the city had faced in the last several months. “You think the town is safe for trick-or-treating this year, given all that’s happened?”

@ccfstarter​

Iris stood amongst the crowd as the the float went by. Passing her, she smiled seeing Barry waving to everyone. Making her way through she followed it and kept her eyes open for anything suspicious. This was Central City after all. Hearing Barry through the coms, she made a face and looked at him not knowing if he could see her. “I mean it would be good to have a kid friendly holiday not interrupted by something. I’m sure we’re fine and I don’t see anything down here. Though you have some competition with all these Flash costumes,” she joked as she looked at all the children playing.

“Acoupleofmillion,” Felicity quickly said. She didn’t bother to lie to Iris, “And don’t ask how I got it, because the term plausible deniable might be important to you in the future.”

“Wait...wait...m-million?” Iris stared blankly at Felicity confused at the large amount of money that she was offering. “I....You know it’s impossible for me not to ask, but I won’t and this better not get me in trouble. Are you even sure? Because that is a lot of money.”
