[Going to her uncle wasn't actually her first choice. Because her first choice when something is wrong, and she's upset-- is Barry. Then her dad, then Eddie. It's maybe not right, the order there but that's the way of things and it doesn't matter anymore anyway because she's so mad at all of them that she can't even talk to them. Not even a text and she's gotten more than a few dozens texts, call and voicemails from the three of them over the past few days that have gone ignored.
Let them worry for a few days. Or knowing her life, her uncle has already told her dad where she's at since they are brothers and all and apparently everyone in her whole life talks to each other about every single thing and she's included only if she has to be and not because anyone wants to involve her. But she's not bitter. No, Iris is never bitter, she's pissed as fuck.
She just-- needed the space from Central City and everyone there. Even asked to do her work on the road for the paper since she doesn't actually need to be there to write, she can write just as well on the plane or a coffee shop in Blue Valley. Or maybe she's just going to hang out with her cousin for a few weeks and forget about everything else.
It's been way too long since she's seen Wally anyway. Keeping on facebook isn't the same thing. It's not the same as ganging up with him to make fun of Barry (in a nice way, at least it more playful once Wally warmed up to Barry) or having ice cream eating wars or just talking about life in general.
There's a fresh batch of messages waiting for her when she steps off the plane, most of them she deletes immediately. But she does read the one from her uncle telling her that Wally is coming to get her and for the first time in what feels like forever (and is maybe more like forty eight hours) she actually smiles and nudges her way past people to get down to baggage claim faster.
She hears her name and turns and yeah he's a lot taller and his acne cleared up but it's still him.] Wally!
[Better enjoy being nearly strangled by a girl solid six inches shorter than you cuz because that's how tight Iris is hugging him.]
hey favorite person ever wally
