Rocky Raymond //Book Five// - COMPLETED

Chapter 33 - Godspeed

3rd Person POV

Nora sits in the pipeline, upset

Up in the cortex, the others were deciding her fate

"It's Nora, our daughter." Iris says

"She lied to us, Iris." Barry says. "Since the first day she got here, about Thawne! She knows what he did to us. To me. To my mother. I can't believe a word she says."

"We don't know that." Iris says

"Yes, we do!" Barry yells

"We don't even know why she's working with him." Iris says

"Now the pressing question is not why Nora is working with the Reverse-Flash." Sherloque says. "Maybe I can talk to her and shed some light on the matter."

"I think you've shed enough light." Iris snaps

"Why, are you upset at me?" Sherloque asks. "What I should do? I should just... I should not have told you?"

"How long has it been since you suspected her?" Joe asks

"Since I arrived." Sherloque says

"Wow." Joe says

"So you've been following this trail all this time and you didn't think to tell us about it until now?" Iris asks

"I don't know where this trail leads." Sherloque says

"Are you kidding me?" Barry scoffs

"I'm not kidding you." Sherloque sats. "You don't come to a conclusion without facts. All the facts."

"Shirley, I think, uh, maybe you should just give us all a minute here." Ralph says

"What, you're mad at me for doing what a master detective does." Sherloque says. "Figure out something that you cannot. I give you that translation. Your anger is misplaced. Besides, I'm not the only one you should be mad at. The Wildcard also knew." He says, leaving the room

Mack freezes in place as the others look at her

"You knew?" Barry whispers with hurt in his voice

Mack tries to speak but nothing comes out

"You knew?" Barry asks loudly, taking a step towards her

Caitlin immediately steps in front of Mack

"I know you're hurt but you better calm down." Caitlin tells him, putting a protective arm out in front of Mack

"Calm down?" Barry asks. "Nora's been lying to us this whole time and now I find out Mack was too? Both of my daughters betrayed me!"

Mack stares forwards at him, tears burning in her eyes. She doesn't speak

"How long have you known?" Iris asks

Mack looks at her

"A week." Mack whispers

"A week?" Ralph asks and Caitlin turns her head towards him and gives him a glare, her arm still out in front of Mack

"You've known for a week and you didn't say anything?" Barry snaps

Mack pulls her eyes up to meet Caitlin's. Caitlin gives her a look, a look that she had learned over the years. The 'remove yourself from the situation' look

Mack gives the slightest of nods to show that she understood. The nod was so slight that only Caitlin could see and understand it

Mack looks at Barry who is waiting for an answer
