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.

5) Because she knows him
6) Because they link arms when they walk
7) Because they protect each other
8) Because they smile like adorable dorks around each other
9) Because when Barry woke up the first person he went to see was Iris

Future Titles

1) Because the best relationships start out as friendships
2) Because she's "Barry's support" and "his rock"
3) Because "she knows him like the back of her hand" -Candice
4) Because "she believes in him even when others don't"-Candice
5) "When Patton and Gustin were put together, there were immediate sparks between the two!" - EDGE
6) "It was pretty evident from the start. We're both very light-hearted, fun-loving, happy- go-lucky people - and that instantly came through." - Candice
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

memorable quotes

"you're my b e s t f r i e n d Iris."

"I'm f a m i l y, Barry!"

"I'm f a s t n o w!"

Honorary Shippers:
Grant ♦ Candice

"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.”
-Candice Patton

Writing 'fic is always better than cleaning the house

That gif looks like it's from ep 2, after Barry has finished eating everything at Jitters and Iris goes to the laptop to show Barry the articles she found about the streak.

Thanks! You'd think, with only three episodes to pull from, it would have been easier to narrow that down...

Nothing Else Matters · 10-25-2014, 06:26 PM

Rewatched the Arrow episodes with Barry and
