[ iris was so mad at barry and her father when she first found out barry was the flash. she was also mad at herself: for not figuring it out sooner, for being so oblivious to what was right in front of her, for the actions she took that led to eddie getting kidnapped. the anger didn't last, and it's because she knows deep down in her heart all they've ever wanted to do is protect her. keep her safe and from harm. but she also meant what she said when she told them to stop.
she isn't a meta-human.
iris has no special powers to boast of, and she isn't anywhere near as fast as barry allen. but she has also learned to be her own hero when she's had to stand on her own, if only to prove that she can. she has learned it's not about one person always rescuing someone else. they take turns in saving each other.
this is what people do when there's love and friendship: they save each other until they can save themselves.
she doesn't need to be reminded it was foolish. just like she doesn't need a reminder that barry doesn't mean to be slow most of the time. he takes the blame for things that are his fault and things that aren't. she wonders if that will ever change. ] Yes, Barry. I'm okay.
[ iris squeezes his fingers in hopeful reassurance. she leans against the door in relief. ]
I told you it was going to take more than a rabbit hole. [ not that she's eager to learn what would do her in. ]
