[Iris licks her lips and the next few seconds seem to take forever. Time feels like it just stops, and she could be gone before even he blinks. She could run over to him and hug him for probably the last time in a while because he has every right to be mad at her.
She's always wanted to protect Barry. Even when they were kids and people used to pick on him, like Tony for example, she'd step in between him and the bullies because no one gets to Barry unless they want to fight through her. Just because she's a girl doesn't mean she can't fight. Doesn't mean that Barry's weak either, she's just protective of her friends.
Time starts all over again when she moves to lower her mask, even it doesn't feel like it to her, in those few moments between revealing who she is and waiting for his reaction.]

Hi, Barry.
