That day had been a treat: Henry was off and there was a new, interactive exhibit at the science museum that Barry hadn't stopped talking about. It was amazing to see how much energy a five year old could have when dealing with things like theoretical black hole demonstrations. But still, that was her son, and the apple of her eye.
So when a volunteer was needed, Barry Allen, in all of his five-year-old strength, pushed Nora and volunteered her to partake in the demonstration of the transport between a singularity instance to another. She had expected lights, smoke, and mirrors.
Instead, she stepped through the other side and into what looked like a crime laboratory.

"What were we doing when I was five?"
He shakes his head and bites his bottom lip.
"You were dead."

She cups his face and her heart breaks. Nora pulls him close for another hug.

It comes out soft because he remembers that. Remembers how he'd volunteered his mom for the little science experiment. Something that had amused both of his parents. Then again, he had been an excited little boy.
He leans his cheek into her hand before hugging her back.

"Then let's enjoy this time together. Are you a detective, like Joe? Is that why I'm here?"

"Barry, there was never any doubt about how smart you are, as long as you keep that good heart of yours."
