Requested: Can u do a barry and reader boy child who has travelled back to time so that he can save himself from being erased as Barry and Iris are together.. but it was supposed to be reader and barry ~ @raveenasblog
Authors Note: So it seemed like you might want the reader to be the little boy through most of it. Well I’m gonna give it a try. I’ve never done a boy reader. So feedback on this would be nice lol. An towards the end of the request it sounds like you want me to change to a female character or at least I think. I’m gonna even if you didn’t mean it that way. I’m making the little boy the reader and Barry’s kid. Also the title is based on Barry and Iris’ relationship just FYI.

“Please be careful.” Y/n pleaded one last time with her son before he goes to the past.
“I will mom.” Y/s/n smiled at his mom. It was somewhat annoying that she kept saying it but he could understand where she was coming from.
“If you can’t do it just know I don’t blame you and I know you did your best.” Y/n pulled her son into a hug, making sure to reassure him.
“I promise, mom.” he nodded
Y/n nodded letting him stop away from her embrace. “Don’t give him to hard of a time, ok?”
Y/s/n scoffed “Why not? Dad changed the timeline, didn’t like t so he changed it again and it’s erasing us. His family. He made it so you both never got together and I never existed. So he can what? Have his old girlfriend back?”
Y/n smiled, she understood where her son was coming from. And why he is mad with his father. He has every right to be. “Listen to me, baby. I understand why you’re mad at him. I’ll admit it hurts me too. But you got to understand Hunny, I wasn’t your father’s first love.”
“What do you mean?” he asked confused
She gave him a tightlipped smile “We became friends a year an half after Iris decided she was done with him and his alter ego. We were not friends at first, baby. We hated eachother. I was an assassin-”
“You only assassinated bad people!” Y/s/n exclaimed with a tone that made it obvious he was pissed even more at his father than before.
“I know, baby. But to your father and his team I was still a killer, it didn’t matter that I only took out bad guys. So even though our separate teams had to work together for a long while, we didn’t get along. I tried to make friends with them but they were standoffish, due to what I did for a living. What I still do. Eventually, we all became like family but your dad was the last to come around. Once he did we got along great, became the best of friends. He always tried to get me to change my ways but no longer judged me for them. I tried to explain to him that, sometimes the bad guys need to die. That’s why I did what I do. We eventually got closer that everyone around us could feel the tension between us. Not long after that, we started dating. With me, he got over Iris and the heartbreak. Feel love again.”
“Mom, if I don’t get this worked out and I’m erased… Will you remember me?” he asked her nervously.
Y/n pulled him into a hug. “Of course I will baby.”
He snuffled into her chest. “How? It’ll be like I never existed.”
“My powers, one of them allows me to remember everything. I remember every timeline change. Sometimes it sucks but I’m glad that if you can’t stop it and I lose you, my baby. At least I’ll be able to remember you.” She reassured her son, who she really hopes succeeds. Because Y/n does not want to lose her boy or to have to live without him. Having no one even know he existed but her.
“Won’t it hurt though?” Y/s/n asked looking up at her
Y/n nodded with a watery smile. “Yes, knowing I had you and then not having you. It’ll hurt a bunch, but I’d rather remember you than not.”
“I’m gonna do it, mom. I promise, I’m gonna try my hardest. For you and for me.” He nodded to himself more than to his mom. Y/s/n was talking up the confidence he already had to help himself get even more motivation, and get even more determined.
“I love you Y/s/n.” Y/n stated leaning down to kiss his forehead for what could be the last time.
“I love you too, mom.” Y/s/n held his mom in a tight hug before leaving and maybe never see her again.

“So your from the future?” Caitlin asked looking at the preteen before them.
“Yes.” Y/s/n nodded, standing before team Flash.
“And your here to prevent Barry from changing the timeline again?” Cisco squinted, giving a suspicious look.
“Yes.” Y/s/n nodded again
“Why?” Wells asked joining in
“Because when he changed it this time he changed the outcome of so many things. Too many things. Important things.” Y/s/n pointed towards Barry as he explained all he could without damaging the future.
“What did I change it for?” Barry asked with a furrowed brow.
Y/s/n rolled his eyes “An emotional decision, not a logical one.”
“That’s not exactly an answer.” Barry pressed getting annoyed with the vagueness coming from this kid.
“Well, it’s the only one your gonna get.” Y/s/n stated annoyed and gave him a look to make sure it was well known he is annoyed with the older speedster.
With that, the team decided that they had no choice but to stop the mistake they made. Y/s/n was very adamant about reminding them it is not their fault it’s Barry’s. Y/s/n was there for a few weeks when it finally happened. A mission went wrong and after weeks of stress the break-out fight and feelings came out.
“No Barry! I’m done! With you and with all of this!” Iris pulled her arm out of his grasp.
“I didn’t mean to do it! Please Iris… don’t do this.” Barry pleaded with tears in his eyes.
Iris shook her head with tears going down her face of frustration. “No, Barry. I’m done.”
“Iris… Iris.” Barry called out to her as she walked away from him. After what Iris’ reasons were maybe if he went back in time he could change what he did wrong and fix their relationship.
“No!” Y/s/n grabbing his father before he could do what he knew he was thinking.
“What-?” Barry turned to see Y/s/n holding him back.”Let me go!”
Y/s/n shook his head “I can’t let you do that.”
“You don’t even know what I’m gonna do.” Barry struggled against Y/s/n’s hold
“Yes, I do.”
With those 3 words, Barry stopped struggling and got out of y/s/n grip. He turned to face him before asking. “Is this what came back here to stop me from doing?”
“Yes” Y/s/n sighed looking him in the eyes.
“I’m not meant to be with Iris. Am I?” Barry came to the conclusion
“No. Your not.” Y/s/n admitted
“Than who am I suppose to be with?” Barry asked defeated. “I love Iris.” he whimpered
“I can’t tell you who you end up with.” Y/s/n knew he couldn’t do that, the pieces have fallen into place themselves. “But I can tell you that you end up happy, and with a family.”
After a while of silence, of Barry thinking he looked Y/s/n is the eyes and asked. Well, more like stated. “You are my son. Aren’t you?”
Y/s/n opened his mouth looking around the room. “I can’t.”
“Confirm that, I know I know.” Barry nodded he should have expected that. “It’s just you have my powers and some looks we share.” He gave a light laugh.
“It’s not the only power I have.” Y/s/n spoke lowly, looking down at his feet.
All Barry could do was nod. Now that Y/s/n had stopped what he came to change it time to say goodbye.
Y/s/n “Well, I guess this is goodbye.”
“See you in the future.” Barry smiled giving him a knowing look.
“See you in the future.” Y/s/n smirked. An with that said the young boy speeded away back to the future.
“What was that about?” Cisco asked his taller friend once the boy left.
Barry shrugged “Nothing… I just think I met my future son though.”
“Wait…” Caitlin looked up in a flash. No pun intended.
“WHAT!?!?!?!” All team Flash minus Barry yelled out in shock and confusion- you name it.
