Are you going to the Expo?

The Expo?

[ It seriously, honestly, no bullshit took Bethany Allen two days to get up the guts to call one Nora Allen. It was likely this was a bad idea. A terrible, stupid idea. She was known to make those from time to time. For all she knew, this lady just shared her mothers name and she was about to make life really, really uncomfortable for someone.

But she had to know. So she leaves a voicemail. A very awkward, partially stuttered out voicemail because how exactly does one ask someone if they're her mother? ]

So...uh...you don't...you probably...

oh, god damn it. [ Pause. ] Sorry! Wow, that was uncalled for.


Ugh...Hi. My name is Bethany and...you know, trying to not make this weird, but there's no real way to do this without making it weird? So I'm just gonna ask.

See, you share a name with my mother, but she died when I was a kid. And honestly, the likelihood that you're her? Slim to none. Not to mention, there's this whole multiverse thing where I'm a guy named Barry...

[ Another pause and a sigh. Bethany has managed to annoy herself. ]


Sorry...you know what? This was stupid. You're probably not the Nora Allen I know, but if you are, and if you happened to be married to a great guy named Henry who would never once...sorry.

If you're her, and you per chance had a daughter, or even a son named Barry because like I said...there's a multiverse out there and in a few universes I'm a guy named Barry...call me back.

Or...I mean, if you don't want to, that's fine. I won't bother you again...

...have a nice day, Miss Allen. Or...Mrs...

[ HANGING UP! ]

[haveagoodheart]

[She's very surprised when she gets the voicemail. Nora listens to it all the way through. She calls the poor girl back, hoping that she would answer. Savitar and Barry had explained the multiverse to her. As did the one called Adorabarry and even Cisco and Leonard. A girl. As the line rings, she wonders. A girl.]

[old_school]

Thank you.

[Nothing more, but he hopes she'll understand. Nora saw him at his worst and had been far kinder than anyone he had known.]

[haveagoodheart]

You’re welcome.

[shes glad she managed to get him to recover enough and feel safe enough to trust her at his vulnerable state]

[He can't get it out of his head. Like at all. Mom with Snart at that mixer. Mom sitting at his bedside in the clinic.
But the most damning piece of evidence? The way she was able to lean in, to rest a hand on his arm and Snart never once pulled away, never once went stiff.

He's gotta ask.]

Hey Mom?
Can I ask you something about Leonard?

[haveagoodheart]

Of course, sweetheart.

I might need some mom time. Kind of an Allen Girls Only thing? IF that's okay, I mean. Not that I don't want time with Barry and my twin and Savitar even though I'm pretty sure he doesn't like me much?

But I need a mom to talk to. I promise, it's good. Just a lot to wrap my head around.

[haveagoodheart]

Junk food? Weird face masks? Painting our nails? Or is that something you wouldn’t like?

[old_school]

Think I can steal you away for lunch?


[.. wait. Who did he just message? He thought he was messaging Nora but it said..


Oh.]

[haveagoodheart]

[Guess who hasn't noticed yet]

Lunch sounds wonderful. Am I meeting you at the Casino?

6/17

[old_school]

I'm at the clinic with Leo.
He needs a transfusion so I'm going to be late getting home tonight.

[haveagoodheart]

I can come by and walk you home. Maybe see Barry about this papercut. It just won't heal up for some reason.

7/31

[chosenbylightning]

Hey Mom.
Think you and Leonard can come over to the house this weekend? Me and Cisco thought we'd have a little get together now that everyone's home.

Re: 7/31

[haveagoodheart]

I think we can.

[They need something to drag them both out of the house and Leonard can't just obsess over what could be redone for the Casino.]

9/24

[vivifier]

If you see Barry or Barry's speed lightning, please tell me. He's back, but I think something must have happened.

Re: 9/24

[haveagoodheart]

Where is he? What happened to him?

9/28

[vivifier]

Caitlin says the last time this happened to Barry, they were able to fix it when Iris was in danger. Something about the adrenaline, maybe.

Re: 9/28

[haveagoodheart]

The last time what had happened to Barry? You found him? What's wrong with him?

11/6

[old_school]

Think you can keep Barry away from the house after his clinic shift? [Leonard has been in planning mode the last couple of days. Watching Barry's schedule. Ordering things from C&P. He's got something up his sleeve.]

Re: 11/6

[haveagoodheart]

Of course. It's about time he and I did something together.

12/12

[old_school]

Come by the casino tonight if you can. [Because he has plans and they have Important Plans that need to be made as well.]

[haveagoodheart]

For you? I always am able to.

[When she's done at work, she makes her way over to the casino and up to his office.]

Leonard?

[chosenbylightning]

Mom?
Can you come over to the house? [Does Barry sound like he's near tears? Probably because he is.]


Mom it's Dad.


He's here.

Re: 3/5

[haveagoodheart]

[she doesn’t respond butbquickly makes her way over to the house]

Barry?

3/8

[vivifier]

Mom, I had to take Snart over to the sheriff's station. He's fine, not in trouble or anything. His dad's ghost was following him around, and they have a cell that will nullify powers and magic. I figured Lewis Snart wouldn't be able to get in, and he's not.

Re: 3/8

[haveagoodheart]

His dad's ghost? Honey, there are ghosts floating around?

6/26

[chosenbylightning]

Hey Mom. Me and Cisco, we set a date for the wedding. Next weekend.

.. I know it's July 4th weekend. We're thinking in the park, a nice cookout and food for everyone.

Re: 6/26

[haveagoodheart]

[She may have made loud, excited noises when she gets this message, immediately showing Leonard]

Anything you need, sweetheart. Oh I'm so happy for you boys to have this!

8/12

[flash_warp]

Hey Grandma. It's um, Henry.
Your grandson.

Think I could come visit today?

[haveagoodheart]

[it surprised her when she hears from someone saying he was her grandson. Weren’t the twins babies at the moment?]

As if you really need to ask, sweetheart.
