Part 42: Twins!
November 23, 2018
STAR LABS
10:00 am
Things were going great for Henry. He had a part-time job at CCPD, got to hang out with both his parents, and fight crime. Although, he kind of missed Star Labs. So taking a day off from working with his father Henry walked into the doors of Star Labs. Entering the Cortex Henry noticed his Uncle Cisco tinkering with some parts on a nearby desk.
"Hey Uncle Cisco," greeted Henry notifying the man of his presence.
"Henry," smiled Cisco pulling away his safety goggles away from his face. "How's it going man?" asked Cisco grabbing a screwdriver.
"You know," shrugged Henry. "The same old thing. So what are you doing?" Inquired Henry flipping a metal rod within his hand.
"Trying to get this chip into place," replied Cisco, trying to melt the metal to his desired spot.
"Maybe I could help you," offered Henry. Nodding Cisco stood up from his seat allowing Henry to have a go. Using the magnifying glass Henry tried to put the chip into the place. Fidgeting with the chip, the chip wouldn't go into place. Noticing his struggle Cisco placed a reassuring hand on Henry's shoulder.
"Maybe if you go a little to the right-" suggested Cisco before he got lost in a vibe.
..........Barry & Caitlin held a baby in their arms. One wrapped in a blue blanket and the other in a pink. Caitlin laid on a gurney in the medical wing and Barry sat on a chair near her. They smiled looking lovingly at the bundle of joy in their arms.....
.....Cisco watches as a baby girl and boy crawled on a blanket surrounded by toys. A boy that looked like a younger version of Henry played with them.
"He's a great big brother. Don't you think?" smiled Caitlin beside Cisco with a cup of tea.....
....."Uncle Cisco! Uncle Cisco!" shouted the twins running over towards Cisco. Watching from the sideline, Cisco watched as a version of himself lifted up the twins, carrying them in his arms.
"How are my favorite niece and nephew," cooed Cisco, kissing their cheeks causing them to giggle.
"Good," smiled the twins in sync. Taking a closer look at the twins Cisco noticed they looked a bit like Caitlin but had Barry's eyes.
"Where's your brother Henry?" Inquired Cisco.
"Right here," smiled a younger version of Henry dressed as a Jedi. "We're still on for that Star Wars marathon, right?" he teased with a smirk.
"Of course," smiled Cisco before they made their way into the house.............
"Babies," breathed out Cisco coming out of his vibe. "2 babies. They had 2 babies," he stuttered out. "Twins!" he said in realization.
"What?!" asked Henry, freezing in place.
"Barry and Caitlin had twins!" yelled Cisco. "And you knew," said Cisco pointing at Henry before backing away from the young man.
Dropping Cisco's project Henry stood up from his chair slowly approaching his godfather. "Calm down, Uncle Cisco. You're talking crazy. Did you have your morning coffee today? Or did you put a little something extra in your breakfast," teased Henry walking towards Cisco.
"Ohhh don't play those tricks on me," warned Cisco. "I know what I saw," he stated confidently. "So start talking baby flash, or I will find your mother and start singing to her like a canary on what I just saw," threaten Cisco as Henry stared at him in shock.
Seeing that he was being serious Henry gave in. "Yes, they had twins," replied Henry.
"I knew it!" pumped Cisco in triumph. "Now how old are they? What are their names? When were they born?" rambled off Cisco.
"One at a time," said Henry. "They were born when I was 10. Their names are "Dawn Iris Allen and Don Ronald Allen. They are both currently 6 and do not have powers, yet," seeing as Cisco was about to ask (changed twins' ages since I changed Henry's; Nora's still old thou). "They will have powers in the future, similar to dad. They will be known as the 'Tornado Twins', being able to move so fast they look like tornadoes," replied Henry.
"Woah," breathed out Cisco at the new information.
"Yeah but you cannot tell anyone about this especially mom and dad," warned Henry.
"Are you kidding me right now, Henry? This is the greatest thing that can ever happen to them! They will be thrilled to hear this!" replied Cisco.
"They cannot know about this, Uncle Cisco," emphasized Henry. "If they find out they also had twins in the future, there's no telling what this could do to the timeline," said Henry thinking of the consequences. "For all we know it could mess everything up," he said as Cisco listened.
"Mom cannot know, I cannot do this to her right now," breathed out Henry seriously before taking a deep breath controlling his anger. "You know," pleaded Henry with his blue-green eyes. "I mean with everything that's happened with her, I-" said Henry stopping himself from revealing too much. He couldn't do anything to jeopardize the safety of his mother. It brought back painful memories remembering her in that hospital bed lifeless. He would do anything to protect her life and the life of his younger siblings. "Please," begged Henry.
Seeing how distraught Henry was Cisco agreed. "Ok," he nodded finally.
"J-just swear it ok?" voiced Henry shakily.
"I swear," answered Cisco.
Breathing out in relief Henry looked at him gratefully. "Thank you," he said. Walking around the room Henry ran his fingers through his hair anxiously.
"I couldn't bear the thought of them finding out about this. Especially mom," said Henry referring to the twins. Turning around Henry looked at Cisco pointedly. With his finger raised Henry walked towards Cisco who raised his arms in the air in defense.
"Mom, cannot, know, this," he highlighted with each word.
"Mom cannot not know what?" asked a voice from the entrance of the Cortex. Whipping around Cisco and Henry saw Caitlin standing by the doorway.
"Mom!" called out Henry in alarm. Looking at his Uncle Cisco, Henry begged his godfather to think of something fast to say with his eyes. Glancing back at his mother Henry tried to think of something to say. "I, ugh," stuttered Henry, finding it hard to come up with an excuse with her burning gaze.
"That Henry," began Cisco looking at his godson for ideas. Staring at him with wide eyes Henry told him to carry on. "Watches,ugh......," replied Cisco thinking of something. "Porn!" voiced Cisco as it was the first thing that came to mind. Looking at him Henry's jaw dropped.
"What?" asked Caitlin, weirded out.
"What??" asked two new voices walking into the Cortex, belonging to Joe and Barry.
"What?!" screamed Henry, glaring at Cisco outraged.
"Yup," nodded Cisco. "He told me all about it," emphasized Cisco. "How much he loves watching it. And it helps him control his desire and raging hormones. And how much it turns him on," rambled Cisco as Henry started turning beet red.
"Okay!" yelled Henry, cutting him off.
"Yeah, so you guys should have a serious talk with him about that," Cisco continues quickly gathering his stuff as he feels Henry's burning gaze. "I'll leave you guys to it," he said, scurrying out the room as Henry threw daggers at him with his eyes. Watching as Cisco left the Cortex, everyone turned their attention back to Henry.
"It's not what you think," Henry poorly defends. He didn't know why Cisco just blurted that out. He was gonna kill him after this. "I do not do that," said Henry. He would never partake in something like that.
"It's fine Henry," replied Caitlin calmly.
"I can assure you that I would never watch anything that would exploit a person in that cont-, wait what?" said Henry, stopping at his mother's words. Why was she so calm about this? It was insane to even think about it. Especially the accuser being him.
"Ohhh Henry," cooed Caitlin, running a reassuring hand down his arm. "I know, I know it's really hard for you right now. It's a lot to take in," she began as Henry scrunched his eyebrows at her. "With all the changes your body is going through. It's normal for a kid your age to be curious," she said as Henry looked away.
"Uh huh," replied Henry nodding his head in defeat. Cisco was so dead after this.
"Don't you think so?" asked Caitlin looking at the father of her child and Joe.
"Sure is," agreed Joe. "It's all new to you. Your still coming to terms with the changes to your body," he replied in support.
"I remember when I was a kid your age," said Barry wrapping an arm around his son.
"I was curious about these things. I even took up some reading about it or watching it, like you are doing," replied Barry as Henry cringed.
"I did not need to know that," Henry grimaced.
"Maybe it's about time we gave you 'the talk'," mumbled Barry.
"What?" asked Henry hoping they were just joking.
"You know 'the talk' about your body and all the changes," explained Joe.
"I know what 'the talk' is, but I don't think it's necessary," replied Henry. "You see I already had 'the talk' with you in the future," said Henry hoping to avoid the long lecture he was about to receive.
"It's fine," assured Barry. "This will just refresh your mind," encouraged Barry as Henry's eyes widened.
"No it won't. No I don't, I mean," stuttered Henry getting out his father's grip.
"I'll be fine Henry," assured his mother, calming him down. "If you need to know more about the opposite sex, from a woman prospective, don't hesitate to ask me," she kissed his cheek as Barry and Joe dragged him into a room to have 'the talk'.

1:00 pm (3hrs later)
STAR LABS
Coming back to Star Labs after lunch, Cisco passed by the Cortex. Looking into the room Cisco saw Barry and Joe surrounded around Henry lecturing him. He felt bad for the young man but at the same time it was also amusing. They were so serious and Henry was straight up bored. Seeing the scene Cisco couldn't help but laugh, trying to muffle it with his hands.
PARALLEL
Hearing laughter coming from behind him, Henry turned around noticing his godfather's presence. Looking at him Henry mouthed 'your dead!'. Gulping nervously Cisco began to run cowardly. Suddenly Joe's phone went off saving Henry from this hell. Answering it Joe notified Barry that they were needed down at the precinct.
"I think I got the idea," Henry quickly commented.
"You sure," asked Barry unsure. He was willing to continue if Henry needed more information.
"Positive. I've learned my lesson," he assured his father with a forced smile.
Looking at him Barry nodded his head. "Well ok then. If you have any more questions you know where we are," he replied before they left.
Sighing in relief Henry looked back at the direction Cisco had run off too. "Time to get my revenge," he smirked before he disappeared in a flash.
------------------------------------------------
CISCO'S LAB
Running into his lab Cisco saw Harry trying to fix a broken metahuman cuff.
"Help! Hide me!" he pleaded desperately before hiding behind Harry.
"What? From who?"questioned Harry. A gust of wind sounded into the room as Henry stood before the pair.
"Him!" screamed Cisco pointing at the young man before ducking in fear.
"Henry?" repeated Harry scrunching his eyebrows in confusion.
"You are so dead Uncle Cisco! Are you kidding me right now man?" replied Henry running his hand through his hair. "After everything you could have come up with, you had to say that," said Henry shaking his head.
"I panicked," said Cisco in defense.
"What are you two talking about?" asked Harry.
"Cisco just told my parents I watch porn," answered Henry.
"You do?" questioned Harry surprised.
"No I don't!" yelled Henry frustrated.
"Then why did you say that?" asked Harry looking at Cisco.
"Because when he told me about the twins, Caitlin walked into the room and wanted to know what we were talking about," said Cisco.
"And you had to say that," said Henry looking at Cisco sharply.
"I'm sorry, OK. I panicked. It was the first thing that came to mind," Cisco replied.
"Yeah well you weren't the one that had to endure a 3 hour long lecture about the human body," said Henry cringing. "I swear I learned so much about the human body today that I am prepared to-".
"Sorry about that," said Cisco apologetically.
"Yeah well don't make the same mistake twice," warned Henry as his phone beeped. Looking down Henry noted that it was text from his mom. Sighing Henry placed his phone back into his back pocket. "Keep that promise," said Henry, pointing a finger at Cisco referring to the twins.
"I will," nodded Cisco.
"And please try not to embarrass me anymore," pleaded Henry. "It's a real pain knowing that you're also my so-called 'godfather'," emphasized Henry. He was supposed to have his back not throw him under the bus.
"Hey! And I'll try," replied Cisco learning his lesson. Think before you talk. Nodding his head at goodbye to both men Henry made his way out. Turning around Harry looked at Cisco.
"Really Ramon?" asked Harry looking amusingly at the tech genius.
"I panicked!" replied Cisco.
"I panicked," repeated Harry in a bad imitation of the young man's voice. "And you couldn't think of anything else?" he asked looking at him. After everything he could have said, he had to blurt that out.
"I was under pressure," answered Cisco as Harry shaked his head at him.
"Sure you were," he rolled his eyes before walking out of the room.
Standing in his lab, Cisco noted something. Harry didn't seem shocked at the news about the twins. That means he must have known about them before.
"Wait a minute, you knew about the twins!" yelled Cisco trying to catch up to Harry.
"Don't you run faster, Harry!" howled Cisco as the man laughed. "Harry come back here! Answer me!" squealed Cisco.
