That just makes me cringe every time. Would you feel better if she said "We're a team"? Absolutely, because they are in a relationshipe they are a team but they aren't one superhero and Iris can't pretend she's the Flash because Barry has been doing it for 3 years and she has just been bossing everone around for 6 months so she can't pretend like she is as much the flash as barry is lol. I think you might be taking it a little too literally. She's not actually the Flash but she's part of the team and in action they're sort of the same unit. By saying "We are the Flash" she's saying Barry isn't alone. She could just say that instead lol, it is just really cringey the way she says it.

There is a point, it seems like she wants to prove something if she is the supreme authority from which all other authority in S.T.A.R. Labs derives and she is exercising authority over them like they are nothing without her.
