[ Honestly, Barry is a little surprised that Iris moved in for a hug, that her arms are wrapped tight around him and she hasn't let go immediately after.
Things between them are so complicated now and he gets that, they're probably even worse now with Eddie back in the picture, but it's not exactly something he should be mulling over when they've got way more important things to think about.
But if he moves to put his arms around her too, it's in joy and relief and gratitude and he isn't going to take this moment for granted. No, he's going to treasure it; maybe maybe it's a sign of hope that they can get past all this.
(Maybe he can start to see some of that future becoming a reality. Except -- )
What if the world really did end?
He pulls back a moment later, glancing at the sign again and gives a small solemn nod. ]
Yeah, I did. A few times. I don't know what any of it means.

What's the last thing you remember, Iris?
