Barry and Lena

Barry was shocked about Iris telling him that she couldn't be his home, anymore. But once the shock wore off, he decided to sign some divorce papers and abandon Central City and Team Flash.

Barry decided to head over to National City to visit Kara.

Barry knocked on Kara's door, and waited for her to answer…

Kara opens the door and is shocked to see Barry.

"Hi Kara," Barry said with a happy tone but with a hint of sadness to it.

"Hi Barry, what are you doing here?" she asked

"I just came to tell you Goodbye, I'm moving. I'm leaving this country. I want a fresh start."

"What?! Why?" she asked

"If you let me come in, I'll tell you about it." Barry vaguely replied.

Kara let Barry into her apartment and shut the door behind them.

Barry told Kara what happened and she felt sorry for him.

"I'm so sorry, Barry." Kara said

"I can't say that I didn't see it coming. Because Iris has been acting strange in this Post-Crisis World…"

"You could stay here if you want." Kara said

"Oh, I don't want to impose and besides, you have your own problems. I don't want to add mine to yours."

"Barry, you're fine and besides I could use your help anyways." Kara said

Barry sighed, "I'm just sick and tired of Iris playing the blame game with me. It's everybody's fault but hers!" Barry vented quietly.

"Barry, not everything is your fault, yes you make mistakes sometimes but you've managed to fix them and people forgive you." Kara said

"Well, I'll stay with you until you get tired of me, on one condition." Barry replied vaguely.

"What is that?" Kara asked

"Please," Barry began, "Please don't tell me to get back together with Iris, because me and her are through."

"You got it dude." Kara said while giving a thumbs up.

Barry pulled out his Android and said, "I'm ordering take-out, do you want anything?"

"Potstickers." Kara said "Want to watch a scary movie?"

"Have you seen The Conjuring or Insidious?" Barry asked, suddenly.

"What about Annabelle Creation?" Kara asked

"That's a prequel, right? I haven't seen the first Annabelle." Barry replied.

"Let's watch the first one then." Kara said

Kara sits down on the couch. Barry sits down on the other side.

"You know, I never got to tell you about how sorry I was, when your relationship with Mon-El didn't work out."

"It's okay, I'm over him now." Kara said

Barry fast-forwarded through the previews, and hit play and the menu asked if he wanted to watch it with commentary, and he declined.

"You won't get scared will you?" Barry asked, "I mean you're not going to scream, right?"

"The only time I screamed was when Alex showed me 'The Shining'." Kara said

"I mostly just jump when something scary happens because there's a lot of jump-scares in films, today." Barry said before shutting up and watching the film.

"This shouldn't be scary at all." Kara said

Barry nodded and watched the film with his superfriend.

DING! DONG!

Barry got up and answered the door, he then proceeded to pay the delivery man. He sat down and handed Kara her potstickers. Barry, on the other hand, had an individual party tray with orange chicken, sesame seed chicken, lo-mein, wantons and chicken fried rice.

"Cheers." Kara said holding her fork.

"Cheers." Barry said hitting her fork with his.

They watched the film and ate together, Barry ate his orange chicken and offered Kara some of his sesame seed chicken.

She ate some sesame seed chicken.

In the middle of the movie Kara jumps when the door slams and the mother is separated from her baby. Books kept flying towards the child.

Barry comforted Kara by saying, "It's okay, Kara. It's a natural reaction."

"But the baby man." Kara said

"This is a good movie," Barry began, "I can't believe the same person who made this, also made Mortal Kombat: Annihilation."

"What's Mortal Kombat?" Kara asked

"Oh, right. You've probably never played it, but to sum it all up: it's an extremely gore-y fighting game series that was turned into two films back in the 90's. I remember them like it was yesterday."

Kara laughs.

"We should watch them sometime, together. In fact I have them on my Google Play account." Barry suggested.

"Maybe when the movie is over." Kara said

"I meant, the next time we have some free time on our hands. Because I know you probably have work tomorrow." Barry pointed out.

"Hey I could get you a job working with Lena or the DEO." Kara suggested.

"Would Lena even give me a job? Because I haven't met her yet and she doesn't know me."

"I believe Lena would I can introduce you to her tomorrow." Kara said

"Okay, I'll stay with you for a couple of weeks before I go apartment hunting." Barry promised.

"You want to help me with a prank tomorrow?" Kara asked

"Who are we pranking?" Barry asked.

"Alex." Kara said "Have you heard of the movie 'Rings'?"

"You mean that Japanese Horror film that got remade in America?"

"Yep. Alex is afraid of that movie and I was going to have Lena dressed up like her but I need your help to keep her distracted." Kara said

"We could do that or we could do something a bit crazier," Barry replied vaguely.

"How much crazier?" Kara asked

"Well," Barry began, "I have this serum, I've been meaning to test out…"

"It's not dangerous is it?" Kara asked

"Supposedly, it's a Super Soldier Serum, it'll give a normal person enhanced speed and strength, but the drawback is, the serum makes you more of what you are…" Barry explained, "So, good becomes great but bad, evil becomes well, you know…"

"How is that going to help?" Kara asked

"Supposedly, it changes a person's sexual orientation as well." Barry explained, "So, that's the prank part but there's no going back from that."

"So you're saying that your serum is going to change Alex's sexual orientation? Okay I'm confusing myself explain more." Kara said

"There's an element of mind-control in the serum, after she takes it, she'll fall in love with the first-person that she sees, excluding extended family and blood-relations."

"So gross." Kara said

"We don't have to do that, though. It's a big life changing thing for Alex, and she may not forgive us for doing it." Barry replied.

"Yeah let's just stick to the part where I have Lena dressing up as the little girl from the 'Rings' movie." Kara said

"I want you to give this serum to the DEO, though and have them test it on a volunteer." Barry said

"We could give it to Winn, he hates being powerless." Kara said

"Sure, as long as you tell him the side-effects and give him time to think it over."

"Honestly I don't think Winn will care." Kara said

"Here, take it." Barry said, handing her the serum, "You can give it to him later."

KNOCK! KNOCK! KNOCK!

"Wonder who that could be." Kara said

Kara gets up and walks over to the door and opens it.

Winn was standing holding a box of donuts.

"Hey Winn." Kara said

"I brought you some donuts."

"Cool." Kara said

Winn walks inside.

"So what are you guys doing?" Winn asked

"Well, Iris kicked me out and I told Kara that, so I'm staying with her for a couple of weeks, looking for a job tomorrow, and doing some apartment hunting later in a couple weeks."

"Well I am looking for a roommate so if you want to stay over you can." Winn said

"I also brought something from Star Labs on my way here, it's supposedly a Super Soldier Serum, that'll enhance someone's speed and strength, but the side-effects are unknown, but I think they're mostly mental side-effects."

"Okay so why are you telling me this?" Winn asked

"I wanted to find a volunteer and Kara said she would find one." Barry said.

"And I want it to be you." Kara said

"How do I know it won't kill me?" Winn asked.

"It won't you'll just fall in love with the first person you see." Barry said

"Then, leave the room Barry. Here's the key to my apartment, I'll meet you back there." Winn said, not believing it but wanting to be on the safe side.

"I think we just scared him." Barry said

Winn closed his eyes and drank the serum without hesitation and he blacked out…

"We should probably leave before he falls in love with one of us." Kara said

Barry picked up Kara bridal-style and ran away at superspeed, to Winn's apartment and he texted Iris to show up at Kara's apartment.

4 hours Later…

"So how long is he supposed to fall in love with Iris?" Kara asked

"Until she breaks his heart or the object of his affection dies."

"What if Iris falls in love with Winn?" Kara asked

"Honestly, at this point: I don't care." Barry said without hesitation and he sounded very convincing.

"Sounds fair." Kara said

"I just wish we could see if it works, without actually being there." Barry said

Kara just received a message from Iris.

"Oh it worked." Kara said

Barry laughed himself silly.

"She said she is taking Winn to Star Labs for a cure." Kara read

Barry called up Iris and said, "Iris, Winn always wanted to be a superhero and that's why I gave him the Super Soldier Serum."

"Can you give me a heads up next time?" Iris asked

"Well, the side-effects only last until you break his heart or until you die," Barry promised.

"What?" Iris said in shock.

"You can break his heart, you can do that easily, I mean you broke mine," Barry pointed out.

"Barry please it was hard enough for me as well." Iris said

"Oh bullshit," Barry muttered into the phone…

"Barry I know the marriage didn't work out but I still want us to be friends." Iris said

"Well, you have Caitlin and Cisco to help you find a cure and if Felicity didn't kill herself, you would've had her, too." Barry said earnestly.

"Bye Barry." Iris said

Barry hung up as well and got up and walked out to the balcony of Winn's apartment.

Kara went back to her own apartment and Winn showed up. Winn walked out onto the balcony and stood there with Barry.

Barry sighed and said to himself, "I hate myself for loving Iris, and I hate myself for having married her. It was just a waste of time…"

"I haven't known you for a long time Barry but we all have failed relationships. I went out with Lyra and it didn't workout. Siobhan turned evil and tried to kill my best friend." Winn said

"I just wonder what the point is half of the time." Barry said as he sat down and stared out at the city.

"Sometimes I wonder that too." Winn said

"So, how hard are you feeling, Winn?" Barry asked, curiously.

"Very hard." Winn answered

"I hope Iris's reaction didn't offend you too much," Barry pointed out.

"I am mad that you left me with your ex-wife because that was not cool." Winn said

"I'm sorry but at least it wasn't James Olsen or Caitlin Snow." Barry pointed out.

"I would've preferred Caitlin Snow even though I never met her." Winn said

"Yeah but she still holds a candle for her dead husband." Barry said

"Didn't know she was married." Winn said

"Once, a long time ago."

"I wonder if I am going to find love again." Winn said

"Me too, I know I've been looking for love in all the wrong places,"

"Well good night Barry." Winn said

"Goodnight Winn."

The next morning…

Barry was introduced to Lena, just like Kara said she would.

And Kara went to work after introducing them. Leaving them alone, together.

When Barry saw Lena he was impressed by how smart she was.

"Well, Ms. Luthor. I'm sure Kara has told you that I used to work in a forensics lab at the CCPD, and I inherited Star Labs from the late Harrison Wells…"

"Yes and I am impressed with your expertise. We could use someone like you here at L-Corp."

"You know, I thought about signing the ownership of Star Labs over to someone else, over the years, I don't know. Would you be interested, Ms. Luthor?" Barry asked, curiously.

"Yes I would." Lena said

"Well, I have the paperwork right here, and all it needs is your signature and mine," Barry replied, "I'll let you sign first."

Lena signs the paper.

And Barry also signs the paper.

"Well then Mr. Allen I believe we will have a great time working together." Lena said

Barry nodded, "I trust you have great plans for turning Star Labs around."

"I will eventually but have to be careful my brother Lex is coming over for help and I may need your help." Lena said

"I am at your disposal, Ms. Luthor." Barry said

"Lex will be here by at least 8 pm tonight." Lena said

"Would you like me to wait here in your office or would you have me wait somewhere else?" Barry asked.

"I will meet Lex at the Luthor Mansion, that's where we will meet."

"I'll be there." Barry promised.

"Thank you, Barry." Lena said

"I don't know if you want me to refer to you as Ms. Luthor during work hours and your first name when we're not on the clock…" Barry trailed off, confused.

"You can call me Lena." Lena said

"Sure," Barry smiled.

Lena smiles and offers her hand for Barry to shake.

"It was a pleasure meeting you finally, Lena." Barry said as he shook her hand.

"It was also a pleasure meeting you Barry Allen." Lena said

Luthor Mansion - 8PM

Barry arrived at the Luthor Mansion.

Barry walked over to the mansion door and knocked on it.

Lena opens the door.

"Barry, glad you could make it." Lena said

"This is a nice place, you have here, Lena." Barry said, as he was invited inside.

"Thank you, Barry." Lena said

"So, I brought this for you. It's a bottle of wine, I inherited it from Harrison Wells. Unfortunately, I'm not much of a drinker."

"It's okay why don't we have dinner before my brother shows up." Lena said

"Sure, would you like for me to cook? Because I know how to make omelettes and I haven't had one in a while."

"I can make it with you." Lena said

"Sure, I'd love to cook with you, Lena." Barry said

Lena shows Barry to the kitchen.

Barry and Lena make omelettes for each other, and they are filled with meat and veggies.

While Lena was eating she had a piece of food on her cheeks.

"Let me get that for you." Barry said

Barry gave Lena a peck on the cheek while grabbing the piece of food with his tongue at the same time.

The doorbell rings as Lena and Barry are kissing.

Barry breaks the kiss and says, "Should I get that?"

"I got it." Lena said

Barry followed Lena and waited a few yards away while she answered the door.

Lena opens the door and it is Lex sitting in a wheelchair with two guards standing beside him.

Barry waited for Lena to introduce him to her brother.

"Lex this is Barry Allen he will be helping me and he's my boyfriend." Lena said

"Doesn't Barry Allen own Star Labs? Why would he need to work for you?" Lex asked, curiously.

"I don't see how that's any of your business." Barry said

"I'm just curious, why you are in National City, when your old stomping ground was Central City." Lex pointed out.

"We work together Lex. Star Labs and L-Corp are working together!" Lena said

"Okay, but what are you going to do about the damaged parts of Star Labs? The whole facility needs to be repaired." Lex pointed out.

"Again none of your business." Barry said

"Anyway, I just came here to tell you that our mother is dead, Lena. She was stabbed in a prison riot." Lex said.

Lena was in shock but she didn't show any tears or remorse.

"This is her last will and testament." Lex said as he handed her the papers.

"She's given me Cadmus?" Lena asked

Lex nodded, and said, "She also left this video recording for you but unfortunately, it's on a VHS Tape…"

"I got it." Lena said, "Is there another reason why you are here?"

"Yes, I came here to tell you that I'm leaving the country, I'm going over to London."

"Why?" Lena asked

"I don't have long to live and I just want to spend the rest of my life away from Superman and Supergirl."

"You're joking right?" Lena asked

"I have cancer, Lena. It's from carrying around a piece of Kryptonite in my pocket for 20 years."

"Why are you carrying Kryptonite?" Barry asked

"Again none of your business." Lex mocked.

Barry shuts up.

"Goodbye, Lena." Lex said as he was wheeled away and put in his car. Then the car drove away.

"Do you think he's lying?" Barry asked

"I don't know," Lena began, "But I do know one thing, I'm not watching this tape without a VHS player."

"We can go to Winn's apartment, he has one." Barry said

"Okay, let's go." Lena said as she walked towards the limo and called for her limo driver, Barry sat in the back next to Lena.

"I love you Lena Luthor." Barry said, "I know it's kinda early for me to be saying that but it's true."

"I love you too Barry Allen." Lena said

"You are a very rare woman," Barry flirted.

"I wouldn't say rare." Lena said

"What I mean is, you have beauty and brains," Barry smiled.

"I know." Lena said

"Lena there's something I need to tell you," Barry replied vaguely.

"What is it?" Lena asked

Barry pressed the button on his Flash ring and the speedster outfit popped out onto the floor of the limo.

"You're The Flash?!" Lena yelled

"Was," Barry began, "I've given up that life. I just want a fresh start, with you, Lena."

"I'm glad you told me. I want to be with you as well." Lena said

"I don't think the world needs The Flash, anymore. I want to change the world as Barry Allen, you and I could do that together." Barry promised.

"And you will, and we will do it together." Lena said

Winn's Apartment Room - 401

Barry and Lena stood outside Winn's door, and Barry knocked on it.

"I forgot I have a key." Barry said

He pulls out his key and walks inside holding Lena's hand.

"Barry who's this?" Winn asked, coming out of the shower completely dressed.

"I'm surprised you don't remember we used to work together around the DEO." Lena said

"Oh, yeah. I'm sorry it's been a while since I last saw you."

"Hey Winn where is your VHS Player?" Barry asked

Winn pulled out his phone and called Kara, "Hey Kara. I know I lent you the VHS player to watch The Wizard of Oz, but Barry and Lena need it."

"Okay I'll be right there." Kara said

"Okay, bye." Winn said, ending the call.

Barry was confused for a moment. "I thought Kara had a DVD player and a DVD copy of The Wizard of Oz."

"She does but she likes it on the VHS." Winn said

"So, do you want to sit, Lena? Can we get you anything?" Barry asked.

"Do you have any wine?" She asked

"Yes, we do. It's from the year 1987." Barry remarked.

"Meh I'll take it." Lena said

Barry poured Lena a glass of wine, and himself and Winn some wine.

And then Barry sat down on the couch, "Go ahead, make yourself comfortable."

"Are you two together?" Winn suddenly asked

"Yes, but I think I'll give it some time before I move in with Lena." Barry said in thought.

"Cool." Winn said

KNOCK! KNOCK! KNOCK!

Winn was getting up to open the door.

"Somethings not right." Barry said, "Kara's fast but not this fast." Barry whispered to Lena.

Winn opens the door when a shot rings out.

Barry runs Lena to a secret panic room at superspeed, "Stay safe, stay hidden. I love you."

"I love you too." Lena said

Barry went back out there and fought these assailants even though it's been a really long time since he had gotten into a fight but Barry would fight mountains for Lena!

Winn was injured. He got shot on his side. Barry grabs him and brings him to where Lena was hiding.

"Call an ambulance." Barry said, "And I'm sorry if I die before we really get to know each other, Lena."

"You won't die." Lena said, "You will come back."

Barry nodded, and ran back out there and said, "You wanna fight someone then fight me!"

The Unknown Assailant follows Barry as he runs away.

Barry led the Unknown Assailant directly into the DEO building. And stopped once the guards had their guns trained on the Unknown Assailant…

"Flash, so good to finally see you back in action." the assailant said

Barry couldn't recognize the voice as he titled his head sideways, in confusion. "Do I know you?"

"Not yet but you will." the assailant said

Before they could capture it the Unknown Assailant jumps into a mirror getting away.

Barry ran back to Winn's apartment and checked to see if him and Lena were okay.

"How is he?" Barry asked

"He's bleeding out, the ambulance is five minutes away." Lena stated.

"They won't make it in time." Barry said, "Lena, I know you probably don't want me to reveal my identity by running Winn to the hospital, but he'll die if I don't."

"Why don't you take him to the DEO?" Lena asked

"Okay, do you want to go there as well? I can take both of you there." Barry said

"Yes." Lena answered

"Hold on, tight." Barry said as he picked them both up and ran them at superspeed inside the DEO.

"I need some help!" Barry yelled

Alex came running and brought Winn to Doctor Hamilton.

"How much blood did he lose?" Hamilton asked

Lena showed her all of the blood that Winn dripped onto her black dress.

"Oh god." She said

"Can you fix him?!" Alex yelled

"Not without a blood transfusion. What's his blood type!?"

"O-Negative." Alex answered

"I'm O-Negative," Barry said.

"I know I might die from this, but I wouldn't be able to live with the guilt, if Kara's best friend died." Barry stated.

"We need to hurry, he's flatlining!" Hamilton yelled

"See you on the other side, Lena." Barry said before going under.

Dr. Hamilton transfers Barry's blood into Winn. Winn's heart began beating again but he was still unconscious.

"Why isn't he waking up?" Barry asked

"He's in a coma," Hamilton said

Barry felt unbelievably guilty, and he stepped outside onto the DEO balcony.

Kara landed right beside him.

"I'm sorry I didn't come sooner." Kara said

''It's my fault. I came to your city and this happened. I'm so sorry, Kara. I know Winn means the world to you…"

"It's my fault as well I should've been there. If I had just gotten there sooner. Now I might lose my best friend." Kara said

"I did everything I could to save him. I brought him here and gave him my blood…" Barry trailed off.

Kara puts a hand on his shoulder.

"You did what you could now all we need is a little faith." Kara said

Barry nodded and walked over to Lena, and said, "Do you want me to take you home?"

"Yes please." Lena said

Barry picked up Lena, bridal style and ran her back to her mansion, "Goodnight, Lena. And I'm sorry if I worried you…"

"You're my hero Barry Allen and I love you." Lena said

Barry pulled Lena into a hug and gently stroked her back before running away and coming back with the VHS player.

"Will you stay with me?" Lena asked

"Just for tonight?" Barry asked in question…

"Just for tonight." Lena said

"Sure, I want to give you some time before we make this official and I move in with you." Barry smiled.

Lena smiles as well. She moves the blanket for Barry to come and lay with her.

"In the morning, do you want me to watch that VHS recording with you?" Barry asked as he got in bed with Lena.

"I don't know if I want to watch it." Lena said

"I understand, is it alright if I hug you while we sleep?" Barry asked, wanting to comfort her.

"Yes you can do that." Lena said

Barry pulled Lena against his chest and lightly but firmly hugged her. Then, they fell asleep…together.

London

Lex was standing in front of his mirror, brooding. Their mother was dead, and Lena couldn't care less!

Mirror Master returned standing right next to him.

"So, how did it go?" Lex asked.

"The Flash showed up and managed to get her to safety." she answered

"Do you know who he is?" Lex asked, he didn't know that The Flash and Barry Allen were one and the same.

"Yeah I do." She answered

"When did you figure it out? It took me years to figure out Superman and Supergirl identities."

"I've been playing as his wife and I know who the other heroes are at Star Labs." Mirror Master said

"Star Labs and its heroes are of little interest to me, I just want to make Lena suffer before I die." Lex replied.

"If you really want to break her go after Kara Danvers and Barry Allen. I already have one of her friends in a coma." Mirror Master said

"I already told her who Kara Danvers really is, and she was heart-broken and pissed but she wasn't broken enough to avoid getting close to Barry Allen," Lex pointed out.

"To make yourself powerful we could capture the Flash and transfer his speed into you." she said

"We could also find a way to transfer Kara Danvers' powers to Lena and then infect her with Red Kryptonite."

"No I want Lena to suffer that won't do." Lex said

"Hey what about Rainbow Raider? He could turn Barry Allen against your sister?"

"Who is Rainbow Raider?" Lex asked

"He's a metahuman who can use mind-control through his eyes,"

"What if we used Rainbow Raider to have Supergirl and Flash fight each other making them kill each other." Lex suggested.

Mirror Master nodded in agreement.

"First you need to bring me their little techie Winn Schott. I believe he could also be of use to us." Lex said

"Winn is the one who is in a coma," She said

"I can wake him up. His father is Toyman. I've worked with him on some of my projects but with him gone it's not going to work."

"I'm on it," Mirror Master replied as she went into the Mirror Realm and retrieved Winn Schott.

Lex healed Winn with a piece of the Hauren-El.

Winn woke up with a start, gasping and panting.

"Hello Winslow. We need to have a little talk." Lex said

"About what? The Super Soldier Serum, Barry made me drink?" Winn asked.

"Why don't you walk with me." Lex said

"Alright," Winn got up and walked with Lex.

"I need your help with a little project." Lex said

"Are you pissed about Barry dating your sister, is that what this is about?" Winn asked.

"This is about your father." Lex said

"What about my father?"

"Your father and I have been working on a project that was supposed to get rid of the Kryptonians but sadly he's dead and I can't get access to finish it."

"You know, there's more than just aliens out there now, right? Because of Oliver Queen, we now live in a world of aliens and metahumans," Winn pointed out.

"Oh I know but I want to get rid of your friends Kara Danvers and Clark Kent. You're going to help me with that." Lex said

"Barry Allen is not exactly my friend but you want him gone, too. Right?" Winn asked

"Yes I do. I have other plans for Barry Allen but that will come in time." Lex said

"I once loved Kara Danvers but she rejected me because she couldn't see me as anything more than a friend…" Winn trailed off, sadly.

"But yet you still managed to be friends with her." Lex said

"I know, it was hard to push her away because her personality would be to kill you with kindness." Winn remarked

"With our brilliant minds we should work together. We will make them pay and we will rule the world together." Lex said

"Are you talking about what, becoming the mastermind who rules from behind the scenes?"

"Something like that and because I gave you the Hauren-El it should give you powers that will kill Supergirl and Superman." Lex said

"I've never learned how to fight, Lex. I just know basic punching and kicking. And for some reason this Hauren-El is reacting negatively to the Super Soldier Serum that I drank earlier. I feel angry and pissed off, but most of all, I wanna hurt someone." Winn remarked.

"You and me both. Now that we're working together there's one more person we need." Lex said

"You know, your sister is very pretty, it's too bad that we can't make her join us," Winn remarked.

"Don't worry about her, I will handle it. Mirror Master!" Lex yelled

"Yes Boss," She said

"I need you to go to Arhkam Asylum and grab Rainbow Raider and Alice." Lex said

Mirror Master nodded and disappeared into the Mirror Realm.

"Let's get started on that project shall we." Lex said

Luthor Manor - Morning 7AM

Lena and Barry woke up. Lena's head was laying on Barry's chest.

"Morning sleepy head." Barry said, "Would you like some breakfast?"

"Why don't we make it together." Lena said, rubbed her hand on his chest.

"Scrambled eggs?" Barry asked.

"With bacon." Lena said

"You know, this is going to sound ironic coming from me but I heard your heartbeat last night and it was moving kinda fast, I didn't know I had that kinda affect on you." Barry flirted.

"You make me happy." Lena said

"You make me happy, too. I haven't been this happy since...I was married." Barry remarked.

Lena was about to say something when Kara burst through the window.

"Kara? What's wrong?" Barry asked

"It's Winn, someone took him last night." Kara said

Barry got out of bed slowly and helped Lena get out of bed as well.

"Are there any security cameras at the DEO?" Lena asked

"Yes, it was the same unknown assailant who attacked you three at Winn's apartment." Kara replied.

"Did it reveal a face?" Barry asked

"It was Iris." Kara replied

"What?!" Barry yelled, "This-this doesn't make any sense."

"I know. Iris doesn't have powers and what would she want with Winn anyways?!"

Kara yelled

"I've been wondering why Iris has been behaving strangely after the Crisis that was averted…" Barry said, talking out loud.

"What if it's not Iris at all." Lena said

"What if Iris has a double like that movie The Prestige?" Barry asked in question.

"When I looked at the cameras Iris came in and left in a mirror. Barry do you have any villains that can do that?" Kara said

"Mirror Master, he's gone but he has a wife," Barry said in thought.

"I think I got it. Mirror Master's wife probably kidnapped Iris and posed as her. And that wasn't her when she asked for a divorce." Lena said

"Well, I can't say that I want to go back to being Iris's husband. I'm just being honest with you, Lena." Barry smiled at her.

"It's your choice Barry. I'm not going to stop you." Lena said

"When I said, you make me happy, I meant it." Barry said

"I meant it too, Barry." Lena said

"So, what should we do? I mean we have to rescue them, somehow." Barry replied

"Barry you and J'onn can phase. You two can rescue Iris while the rest of us rescue Winn." Kara said

"I think I know why they kidnapped Winn, his father was The Toyman, and they want his brains. They used something to wake him up…" Barry trailed off in thought.

"Oh god. He didn't…" Lena trailed off

She runs into a secret vault hidden in the Luther Manor.

Barry and Kara followed Lena.

"Lena, what is it?" Kara asked

"The Hauren-El, Lex took the Hauren-El!" Lena screamed.

"Are you talking about the Hauren-El you used to heal James?" Kara asked

Lena nodded.

"Oh God…" Barry said in thought, "The Super Soldier Serum!"

"What?" Lena asked

"It's a serum, Lena that enhances your speed and strength, but the mental side-effects were unknown and I made Winn, drink it…" Barry looked incredibly guilty and slumped to the ground in defeat…

"With the Hauren-El he probably used that to heal Winn and use some kind of mind control." Kara said

"Kara, I'll go after Winn and you and J'onn go after Iris. I need to fix my mistake. Even if it kills me…" Barry said getting up and walking away.

"Let me make a few calls to Star Labs." Kara said "We may need more help." Kara said

"Uh guys I'm afraid we have more bad news." Lena said

Kara and Barry walk over to the TV.

Rainbow Raider and Alice escaped from Arkham Asylum.

"And now this." Barry groaned

Barry ran to Star Labs and acquired the device that cures Rainbow Raider's mind-control, Cisco managed to miniaturize it over the years.

"Lena we should probably get you some place safe just in case he comes for you." Barry said

"I can bring you to Gotham and Batwoman will let you hang out in the Batcave for a while. It's very secure there." Barry suggested.

"Sounds like a good idea." Lena said

Barry kissed Lena and then he picked her up bridal style and ran out to Wayne Manor, he asked Kate Kane if Lena Luthor could stay in the Batcave for a while...

"I heard Alice escaped, let me help you." Kate said

"Lena needs a safe place to hide, so I can keep her safe," Barry said while agreeing to let Kate help.

"Luke can stay and make sure she's safe." Kate said

"It's my fault that we're facing a pissed off tech genius under the influence of mind-control and Hauren-El, I'll help you take him down Kate, no matter the cost." Barry said grimly

"If we're taking down a Kryptonian, Bruce has some hidden Kryptonite here in the cave." Kate said

"Let's get it, then." Barry said

Barry and Kate retrieved the Kryptonite, "So, this is what is killing Lex Luthor. He had it in his pocket for 20 years." Barry told Kate.

"Then we use the Kryptonite against him." Kate said

"Won't Lex probably have something to make him resist the Kryptonite?" Luke asked

"Wait a minute, I remember Kara saying something about Gold Kryptonite, Gold Kryptonite will take away their powers," Barry remarked

"But we don't have Gold Kryptonite." Luke said

"It's in the Fortress of Solitude." Barry said, "Clark kept a room full of it, in case he ever wanted to off himself."

"But we're going to need Clark or Kara to get into the Fortress of Solitude." Kate said

"Yeah, but do you know who else can lift the Fortress Key?" Barry showed Kate his phone and on speed-dial it said, "Diana Prince,"

"Wonder Woman? How can she help?!" Luke yelled

"She's strong enough to lift the key," Barry said, "I've even seen her kick the crap out of Clark, one time."

"We should probably call Jefferson Pierce and his daughters so they would be able to help."

"Yeah, and are we going to have Diana meet us at the Fortress?" Barry asked

"Yep."

The Fortress of Solitude

Barry and Kate were waiting for Diana to show up.

"I'm here," Diana said, showing up out of nowhere.

She picked up the Fortress Key and turned it.

"She really is strong." Kate said

"You're looking for Gold Kryptonite, right? I'll show you where it is," Diana suggested

They followed her to a hidden room where there was a stash of Gold Kryptonite.

"Take what you need and you can keep it if you'd like, just keep it locked up in a lead container." Diana suggested

"Got it." Barry said

Barry, Kate and Diana left the arctic's circle and went back to the mainland.

They hunted down Lex and Winn. And The Flash and Batwoman removed their powers with Gold Kryptonite.

Suddenly a knife was thrown heading towards Barry. Kate caught it.

"Hello my dear sister." Alice said

"What do you want, Alice?" Kate asked.

"I just want a little payback you left me to rot in that torture chamber! Lex here is offering me to help take you guys down. Isn't that right sweetie?" She said

"You're so crazy, you're like a bag full of cats, I can smell crazy on you," Barry remarked.

"Well we are who we are." Alice said

Alice wraps her hands around Lex's waist.

"Do you know what this is?" Barry said holding up a vial.

"No and we don't intend to find out." Lex said

Lex fires a blast at Kate and Barry. He grabs both Alice and Winn.

But before Lex could leave Barry runs and opens the vial and splashes it into Lex's face…

The three of them fall down painfully.

"This vial has a chemical mixture designed to make you become docile." Barry remarked, "Now you three will come with us or else."

"Not gonna happen." Winn said

He used his heat vision and Barry was knocked a few yards back.

Barry threw lightning at them.

The lightning didn't affect Winn but it did affect Lex's suit.

Kate threw green Kryptonite towards Winn hitting him in the head with it.

"Did you really have to throw it at his head?" Barry asked

"I was trying to knock him out," Kate remarked

Winn gets up. The kryptonite landed a few yards away.

"Well that obviously didn't work now did it?" Barry said

Barry sped over to the Kryptonite and grabbed it and shoved into Winn's face and not before hitting Lex in the face as hard as he could.

Winn's face was covered in Kryptonite and he fell down unconscious.

Kate threw a batarang at Alice's back.

"You're going back to prison Alice." Kate said

"Why? So, I can get stabbed there like Lillian Luthor?" Alice said

"I can get you protection." Kate said

"Okay, I'll go. But Mirror Master, she's still out there." Alice replied.

"We know Supergirl and Martian Manhunter are going after her." Barry said, "Which prison do I send Lex to?"

"There's a prison at the DEO you can put him there. But what about your friend?" Kate said

"I can carry them both. You got Alice, right?" Barry asked

"I got her." Kate said

Barry ran to the DEO at superspeed, dropping Lex off in a DEO cell. And dropping Winn off at the medbay.

He came back to Gotham for Lena and brought her back to the DEO.

"Can you fix my friend?" Barry asked her.

Lena nodded and proceeded to make a cure for Winn. It wasn't easy but it was doable. She got the Hauren-El completely out of his system.

But there was still Kryptonian DNA in him. Unfortunately, that would never go away.

Kara and J'onn arrived back with the real Iris. And the Mirror Master in handcuffs.

"Good job you guys," Barry complimented them.

"Thanks, I see your mission went well." Kara said

"Yep, Iris. I don't know if you heard but your double signed some divorce papers and we're no longer married to each other." Barry said with a happy look.

"I know, I saw everything." Iris said

"I'm sorry, but I fell out of love with you." Barry told her.

"It's okay Barry." Iris said

"Let me take her home." Kara said

"Goodbye, Iris." Barry said.

"Goodbye, Barry and I hope that we can at least be friends again." Iris said

"Well that depends on how often you visit National City, and how well you get along with Lena." Barry told his ex-wife.

"It's a deal." Iris said she holds out her hand for Barry to shake.

Barry shook her hand, and said goodbye again and walked back towards Lena.

"That went better than I thought." Lena said

"Yep, I'm going to search for a temporary apartment near L-Corp until you're ready for me to move in,"

"I know we're rushing things but I do want you to move in with me." Lena said

"You know, I still haven't cleared everything out from my old Loft in Central City, would you like to help do that?" Barry asked her

"I would love to help." Lena said

Barry and Lena acquired a moving truck and they went to Central City and acquired all of Barry's things but before they left they stopped by Star Labs to see if Lena wanted anything from it, before it's remodelled.

"How would your friends Cisco and Caitlin feel if I got them their own rooms to practice their powers and a room for Cisco to make suits and upgrades?" Lena said

"You're okay with me being The Flash, again, Lena?" Barry asked incredulously.

"Yes I am. The people need The Flash and I don't want to be the reason you're not there." Lena said

"Well, as long as I can be The Flash in National City so I can be closer to you," Barry smiled

Lena kisses Barry.

"I love you," Lena said

"I love you too." Barry smiled.
