Quote1 Think about your best friend. It could be your wife, your father, someone you grew up with. It's the person you can't wait to talk to at the end of the day. The person who knows everything about you, who roots for you. Now imagine you discover your best friend has a secret - no, not a secret, a universe of secrets - would you confront him? Would you stay silent? Either way you know nothing will ever be the same again. Quote2
— Iris West src
Iris West is a journalist in Central City, as well as the best friend and later wife of Barry Allen, also known as the Flash.
