I know, I should probably be working on one my various other stories I have going on right now. But this idea has been going around in my head for the past few weeks and I had to at least start it, see if anyone is interested.

Two things you need to know. First, Nora is portrayed by Camilla Luddington instead of Jessica Parker Kennedy. And the reason for that will be revealed once you read this.

Second, this is not for WestAllen shippers. So just don't read it if you can't deal with that. It takes me less than ten seconds to decide whether your review is worth replying to or even worth keeping, so sending me hate mail just makes you look like an ass.

Anyway, to quote John Constantine, on with the show.

West House

Afternoon

Barry, along with the rest of his team and family, stared at the young woman, who looked to only be a few years younger than he was, who was claiming to be his daughter. From the future. Excuse him for a minute while he attempted to pick up the shattered pieces of his mind.

"So, you're our daughter?" Barry repeated, his voice giving way to his disbelief as he gestured to himself and Iris.

"From the future," Iris said clearly just as skeptical.

"Yes and no. I'm from the future and I'm your daughter, but I'm not yours," Nora said as she looked over at the stunned Iris apologetically.

"Come again?" Barry said stunned.

"Do you remember Patty Spivot? Well, when she left Central City, she was pregnant. With me," Nora said, looking a little awkward as she said this.

Barry stared at her, stunned. However, as he attempted to process this news, the CSI in him was looking at her and doing some comparisons. While her hair was dark brown like his, it was long and flowing like Patty's. Her eye color seemed to be a mix of his dark eyes and Patty's blue eyes, resulting in Nora's light brown eyes. He could see several of Patty's facial features in Nora's face, as well as some of his own.

"Anyone else want a refill?" Cisco asked randomly and everyone turned to look at him incredulously. "Just me? Okay."

"Cisco Ramon. My mom was right, you always try to lighten the mood," Nora noted and they all turned to her.

"You know our names?" Caitlin asked, surprised but not sure why.

"I know all your names. Caitlin. Ralph. Joe. Cecile. Wally. Iris. And Dad," Nora said as she looked over at Barry, who was still having trouble processing all this.

"Okay, I-I need to sit down," Barry said he all but collapsed into the wall, sliding down to the floor. "Cisco? I'll take that drink now."

"So your codename is Impulse? Clearly not my doing," Cisco said as he poured himself and Barry a glass of Champaign, walking over and handing one to Barry.

"No, it's a nickname my mom gave me. It's how I've been since I was a kid. Jumping in without thinking, not looking before I leap, Impulsive. Mom said I got that from you," Nora said as she looked over at Barry, who had already drowned his glass of Champaign.

"And your mom is Patty Spivot? About this tall, blond, blue eyes, super perky?" Cisco asked as Barry got to his feet.

"Yeah, that's her," Nora said with a nod.

"Okay, this mistake you made? What was it?" Barry asked, the alcohol having helped calm him down.

"Helping you save the city by destroying the Star Labs satellite last night," Nora said sheepishly and Barry, along with everyone else, stared at her incredulously.

"You were the other Speedster," Barry breathed and she nodded.

"I couldn't help myself, Impulse. But now I'm in trouble, I can't go fast enough to open up the Speed Force," Nora explained. "I'm stuck and you guys are the only ones who can help me."

So, should I continue or not?
