True North | Barry ♥ Iris #28: Barry, you’re supposed to be the same guy that you’ve always been. Suit or no suit, that guy is a hero.

#28



Welcome to the Barry Allen Iris West Appreciation Thread

Iris West is a journalist in training. Barry Allen is the Flash (a.k.a The Red Streak). They grew up together after Barry's mother was murdered and Barry's father was convincted for her murder. Friendship; they are each other's best friends, they have a deep bond. Family;it's difficult for Barry to explain what he feels for Iris, she's the only family he had, but it runs so much deeper and Barry is just discovering that. Iris on the other hand is oblivious and fails to see what is right in front of her face.

After being hit by a lightning, Barry develops powers, now he is protecting the city from others like him, as the mysterious known as the
R e d S t r e a k this will only further develop and complicate his relationship with Iris as her pursuit of journalism and the Streak will pull her closer to him but into danger.

" h o w i f e e l how you make me feel."

Barry will work overtime alongside Iris's protective father (Joe), to keep his secret from Iris. Howeverwith Iris's inquistive nature and fasination with the impossible. She is determined to pursue the Flash.

7) "It will go down as one of those Hollywood fables, that the minute the casting process was over, and Patton existed the room, Gustin turned to the casting crew and said: 'That's Iris!' - which is pretty awesome!" - EDGE

"She’s the love interest of Barry Allen, who is The Flash. She’s the romantic little number in the show. She’s kind of Barry’s support. She is like the Lois Lane to Superman. She’s there for him throughout all of his mishaps during the show. She’s just kind of his rock.”- Candice Patton

“Barry and Iris are childhood best friends. He has lived with Iris and her father since they were children when his father was accused and incarcerated for killing his mother. The two are incredibly close and she knows him like the back of her hand. I describe them as each other’s
‘true north’ in this crazy world. She believes in him even when others don’t. I think we all want someone like that. Someone who roots for us, and lightens our load in this life.”

Re-posting from the last thread, since it was on the last page:

My WestAllen speculation for next week's episode after seeing the preview:

- Barry is badly injured and is in a coma again from being electrocuted in that very unwise attempt to get his powers back.

(I'm basing the above on a scene from The Flashpoint Paradox, where Barry tries to get his powers back by electrocuting himself, but instead gets burns over most of his body, and is all bandaged up in a coma in the hospital. But that's where the homage to TFP ends)

- In a parallel to Season 1, Iris comes to his bedside and talks to him, but this time she reveals her feelings for him and it's a super-emotional heartfelt confession. He's unconscious though, so of course he doesn't hear her.

- Iris touches Barry, and *blue-spark* he wakes up, heals from all his injuries, has his powers back, and is faster than ever.

Seriously though, if the EPs are actually planning on following through with that "Iris is Barry's lightning rod" thing they were trying to sell us in last summer's Season 2 interviews, they need to do something like this.

That gifset is perfect.

Their scene tonight was so beautiful, it felt like season 1 Barry and Iris

"you and I were the only two people in the world." I died when he said this.

I cannot wait for next weeks episode.

No Ferris Wheel

Overall I thought it was super filler and not that interesting.

BUT I loved the Westallen heart to heart. He remembered her being the first person he saved. It was so beautiful. For a second (ashamed to say) I forgot and him retelling it brought it all back.

Love the GIFset

Thanks for the new thread!

This episode is was a set up episode for WestAllen. I mean, little hints here and there are showing them coming back together again as best friends but also romance is happening soon... you can feel it in the air.

I just love seeing Iris a regular part of Team Flash now. That's not only awesome in general but another big hint that WestAllen is heading into romantic territory. They are going there so she doesn't suddenly become a part of the team just because she's romantically with Barry. Nah, this stuff is being taken care of now so it's all a smooth transition when WestAllen becomes romantic.

i have this bad feeling it's going to be unenthusiastic. i was hoping it would be this big moment and he'd be floored and happy, etc...but they've made him so miserable and they haven't showed us how he feels about her in so long (I think Grant's done his best on his own to try to give subtle facial expressions that might convey something, but i know that stuff isn't written).

i've lowered my expectations to the very bottom from now on. the writers aren't building it appropriately, imo. they're not doing enough. it's like they've never seen any other show before that did a simple "will they/won't they" storyline and they have no idea what beats they need to put in the episodes if you want to build up to something.

they should have lingered on Iris patching him up for example, to show sexual tension. any other show would have done that. there should have been some sort of flirting/tension btw them when they were out investigating together. this basic stuff just isn't being put in. how are you supposed to root for something that isn't being shaped consistently enough?

I'm curious about his reaction too but based on the little nuggets we've gotten so far I feel very optimistic about it. I'm just glad that Iris is finally getting a pov and a part on team Flash.
