Chapter Three: Personal Shopper

When I had a morning free, I took Thad to run errands with me. I put him in charge of the lists. I had three. A home to-do, an outdoor to-do, and a grocery list. Thad kicked his feet in the backseat as he stared out the window. "Grandpa, do I look like a girl?" Thad asked. I glanced at him from my rearview mirror.

"Do you think you look like a girl?" I asked.

"A boy at school said I looked like a girl because my hair is blond, and the teacher made him sit in the corner," Thad replied, "But I think I look like Bart."

I nodded. "Do you think Bart looks like a girl?" I questioned.

"Bart looks like Mommy," Thad answered matter-of-factly.

"That's true. And Mel is a girl," I replied, "So, I guess you look like a girl that happens to be your mother, but I don't think you could be mistaken for a girl."

"Oh. Yeah, okay... But why am I blond?" Thad asked.

"Because you have two blond grandpas. That happens sometimes. It's pretty rare with identical twins, Noodle. Did you know that?" I asked. Thad shook his head as I pulled into the parking lot, and we walked toward the farmer's market.

"Does being rare make me weird?" Thad questioned.

"Well, scientifically speaking, being an anomaly is weird... But being weird isn't a bad thing. A lot of people say I'm a little weird," I replied. Thad looked up at me and smiled.

"I think you're cool," Thad complimented me. I crouched down and gave Thad a high five.

"Thanks! I think you're cool too. That was such a kind thing to say," I commended him. He stood on his tiptoes and hugged me. I walked him to get some fruit, and he insisted on picking his produce.

Thad didn't talk much while he looked at fruits and veggies, so I didn't force conversation. It overwhelmed him when people pushed him to carry on conversations when he had other things to focus on. Besides, Thad did a great job of getting everything on my list. Thad had a one-track mind, and once he focused on a task, he stuck with it until completion. It gave me time to be in my head. I zoned out completely, and the only thing that pulled me back was Thad yanking at my arm. "Grandpa!" Thad whined as his eyes filled up with tears. I offered to pick him up, and he stomped his feet. "We can't finish the list!" Thad wept. I took the list and looked it over.

"We'll get some at the store... See, the store's that way. We'll finish the list," I reassured him as I wiped his tears away. "I know it's frustrating, but I have so much time today. Give me five big ahh hoos, please." Thad inhaled through his mouth and blew into my open palm. I learned that trick from Meloni. It worked most of the time.

After his fifth breath, I picked him up, and he touched his cheek to mine. "Did I mess up?" Thad questioned.

"Of course not! Noodle, you did such a good job! You've been so helpful today," I reassured him. I pulled the cart to the car and went to the store, still holding onto him. I made a soft clicking noise to prove to him I wasn't mad.

"Grandpa, I like that noise," Thad whispered.

"I do too... It's comforting, isn't it?" I replied. Thad nodded and smoothed my hair down in the back. "How's my special boy?"

"Your special boy?" Thad asked.

I patted him on the back. "Yeah, all my boys are special... But you're my special boy who came all the way to Central City to keep me company," I answered, "How are you, Noodle?"

"I miss Owey," Thad whispered.

I frowned. Owen usually left the country for the summer to be with his dad, and Thad was always there to send him off. "You want me to call and see if he's still in Alabama with Mel and Donny?" I asked. Thad nodded, and I put him in the basket.

I called Mel's number, and she answered almost immediately. "Is everything okay? Do you need me to come there?" Meloni asked.

"Oh no, everything's fine... Is Scout there?" I asked.

Meloni let out a sigh of relief. "Yeah, he's here. Owen, it's Papa Barry," Meloni whispered.

"Hi, Barry!" Owen exclaimed, "Everything okay?"

"Thad wanted to talk to you. I'm gonna put you on speaker," I whispered as I handed the phone to Thad.

"Hi, Owey. Are you gonna send me letters still?" Thad asked.

Owen chuckled. "Of course! Of course," Owen answered. Thad smiled. "Hey, I'm glad you called. I wanted to tell you how cool you are for going to Pop Barry's all by yourself."

"Really?" Thad asked.

"Yeah. I thought it was awesome. I still get scared going on planes by myself every summer," Owen replied. "You callin' me to say something?"

The twins had a certain tenderness for Owen that they didn't have for each other. Owen was a great kid. He was Meloni's kid from a previous relationship, but we'd known him since he was a baby. Donny was like a second father to Owen. It was good to hear Thad talk to him. "Oh wait! Don wanted to tell you something!" Owen exclaimed. "Hey, Old Man, Thad, and Pop Barry are on the phone. Tell 'em."

"Thank you, Owen... Hey Thad, hey Dad," Donny greeted. He sounded nervous.

"What's the matter, Donny?" I asked.

Thad looked up at me. "Hi, Daddy," Thad whispered.

"Hi, Thad... Um, Houston, we have a problem," Donny paused, "I'm going to the International Space Station in two years!"

"Donny! That's great news!" I shouted before remembering I was in the middle of the grocery store. Thad covered his mouth and giggled.

"Silly Grandpa... Daddy, does that mean we're moving away?" Thad asked.

"Yeah, we're gonna have to move... But we can go home once my assignment's over," Donny replied. This was Donny's dream, and I was so proud of him, but I'd be a liar if I said I wasn't afraid of what that meant for him. My son was headed to space. "Thad, I'm gonna come and see about you as soon as I can... It probably won't be until the end of the month, but I'll bring you some of your things. Do you want me to bring Craydl?"

"I have him already, Daddy," Thad answered. Don paused for a moment.

"Oh... You sure do. Are you okay?" Donny asked. "I know I didn't get to speak to you yesterday, and I wanted to apologize for how I talked to you."

Thad held the phone to his chest as if he were giving Donny a hug. "It's okay... I'm sorry, I ran away," Thad apologized, "Do you still love me?"

"Of course, I still love you. I miss you so so much," Donny reassured Thad. I was choked up. I can't lie. Donny grew up to be such a wonderful father and husband. When he was small, he was creative and emotional, while Dawn was passionate and expressive. They became such wonderful people.

"Grandpa, are you crying?" Thad asked. I kissed Thad's forehead.

"Well... A little bit. I was thinking about when Donny was your age," I answered.

"I love you, Dad," Donny whispered.

"Love you too, Donny... And I'm so proud of you," I replied. Donny said his goodbyes, and we finished grocery shopping for the week.

I'm sorry I can'y hear you over the noise of DC restarting their timeline the good old-fashioned way again.

if there’s one thing barry writers love, it’s themes of neurodivergence and being othered

[miss-eli-starfleet]

Okay. This post is gonna be about Bart Allen, and all the Thawne-Allen stuff.

Tagged bc we both love Bart’s Thawne Allen problem: @themaybewoman

This is what I’ve gathered so far about his existence is hopefully comic accurate, but maybe not continuity accurate:

It starts with Iris West. Apparently, it’s recently revealed to me (today) that this girl is actually from the 31st century. Because of the semi-dystopian era of her birth, her real parents sent her back in time to the 21st century to keep her safe. She was adopted by the Wests, but she doesn’t know her future origins until later on.

She meets Barry as a news reporter, and they marry. When they were thinking about having kids, Reverse Flash/Eobard Thawne comes along and murders her because his likes to make Barry’s life as miserable as possible. But because she’s from the future, her parents found some magic comic book science to “revive” her, thus placing her in the 31st century to live her life.

Barry finds out she’s alive in the future, and basically goes into retirement to live with her in the 31st century. He passes the mantle of The Flash to Wally West. Why he doesn’t just get her and bring her back to the 21st century, I’ll never know. Or he just wanted her to be with her real parents (which i would assume she barely knows lol).

I was trying so hard to find out why Barry decided to raise their children in the 31st century, but we have our answer there. Iris is future girl. Their children, Don and Dawn Allen, later operates as the Tornado Twins much like Barry did as the Flash. In Central City, I’m assuming. There was some clashing with the Legion of Superheroes, basically the 31st century’s version of the Justice League, but whatever. Not really important to Bart’s existence.

Dawn Allen marries Jeven Ognats. They have a daughter named Jenni Ognats, who later joins the Legion of Superheroes as XS. Jenni is Bart’s cousin.

Don Allen marries Meloni Thawne, and that’s where this gets more complicated.

Meloni Thawne is the daughter of Earthgov President Thaddeus Thawne, who irrc is a direct descendant of Eobard Thawne. When President Thawne learned of this marriage, the dude’s pissed because the Thawne-Allen feud is still on in his mind. He disowns his daughter, indirectly has the Tornado Twins killed via Dominators, and then kidnaps Bart.

Idk where Barry is in all this, maybe he went into the Speedforce and just chilled there through all this?

Now Bart had this hyper-accelerated aging thing going on as a side effect of being born a speedster (I think). Like nearly a teen by two yrs I think. Thawne grandfather stuck him in this VR so he can grow up “normally”, intending to make him a living weapon against the Flashfam. I’m pretty sure Meloni was locked up or something during that period of time too? Otherwise she would’ve done something about this.

Iris kidnaps Bart, and takes him to the 21st century via the Flash Museum’s Cosmic Treadmill (how they used that idk), hoping that Bart would have Wally West as a mentor. Instead, Wally ditches him to Max Mercury to be trained, and it plays on his low self esteem. Wally was pretty mean to him at some times, like when he gets recruited for the Teen Titans as Kid Flash.

But, hey, Wally did run him around the world fast enough to fix his accelerated aging problem.

Anyways, he gets some visits from his other cousin, Jenni, and his mom in the Impulse 1995 series, which was so fun to read. It was so cool to read them talking to each other in Interlac he Max being all confused.

This all makes me wonder: was Meloni ever Don’s lightning rod? As to Iris is Barry’s lightning rod?

“I’m not lying! Barry, it’s not what you—”

I feel like if Hal spent much more time on earth than in space he would be beloved in the coast city as Barry's beloved in the central city cuz he would hang out with the people there like friends like playing baseball just like Barry did

THIS, but at the same time, I think it isn't just the space thing that people aren't fond of but whatever DC writers (loath..) made him do in the early comics (<- The most I can remember is Hal going onto the Oprah show to make his image appear better and etc...). At another time people will like him, like they do with Barry. It's kinda curious to see the different sides of how people treat heroes within the universe, especially if they're from other planets or use weaponry that they 'don't know of'

And for my second part, I am a HUGE fan of baseball... And seeing (forgot what it's called) but the BASEBALL fanfic is SO cute. I actually can't think about it without having to mention how that fic has grasped my heart and tossed it around a couple of times.

^ It even influenced my baseball hcs for these two, or how I genuinely think that their bond of baseball is kinda everything. // Or you know how they have people play games for fundraising (or even the raise between Superman and Flash), how I believe it would be kinda fun to see heroes play baseball together..

[psychedelic-ink]

Still can’t believe there aren’t more playlists this show only ended A YEAR AGO

[wallylinda]

probably the most understated example of bart’s character growth over time has been in how he approaches the title of the flash. with his introduction, he’s very reverent in how he views both wally and barry: he’s delighted to be able to vibrate through solid objects where wally can’t, and his grandfather is a figure that he, at minimum, frequently longs to have a relationship with. and then skip forward all the way to flash rebirth and bart is explict in saying that wally, not barry, is his flash and is in fact resentful towards his grandfather for “taking” the title away from wally. like it’s the difference between defining his reality as an extension of VR and wanting the ease of that life back, versus having fully entrenched himself into the present but still rejecting the hopeful overtures of barry’s return because that fantasy could harm what he currently has.

*Barry’s POV*

Y/N and I were walking through the door and I slammed it behind me. She was walking to our room, but I grabbed her wrist to stop her. I spun her to face me and she was glaring at me. 

“Let. Go. Of. Me.” She growled through grit teeth. 

“No, now lose the fucking attitude! The mission didn’t go as planned because you didn’t listen!” I growled back. Her glare deepened and tried to free herself. 

“It’s wasn’t my fucking fault! They were going to hurt you!” She shouted. I scoffed and rolled my eyes. 

“I have fucking super speed, Y/N! I would have gotten out of the way!” I shouted back. 

“I don’t care! I wasn’t gonna just let you get hurt! We’ll get them next time.” She scoffed. I tightened my grip on her wrist a bit and growled. 

“Get on your knees.” I bit out. She didn’t move and I pulled her slightly closer. 

“Now.” I hissed. I let go of her and snuck to her knees. I pushed her forward and she was presenting her ass to me. She looked over her shoulder, her eyes filling with hot curiosity. I quickly used my speed to undress the both of us and her eyes widened a bit. Her nipples pebbled as the cold hit them. 

“This is what you want?” She asked with a slight smirk. 

“No. I want your face against the floor, your tits kissing the carpet.” I said with a smirk of my own. Her eyes widened slightly, but did as she was told. She slowly slid her palms across the carpet, extending the length of her back. Her cheek deliberately came to a slow rest on the floor, her nipples ever so slightly brushing the carpet. Her ass tilted upward, opening the view to her pussy in front of me. I kneeled behind her, reaching out to slide a finger into her dripping pussy. Then two… then three… I fucked her like that for just a few moment then removed my fingers to wrap them around my cock, rubbing her wetness on myself. I brought my fingers to my mouth to taste her. My cock was now slick with her juices and slid smoothly inside her. I went slow and shallow at first. I fed her just the tip, teasing her opening. She pushed her body back towards me, trying to push me deeper inside her. I pulled back, keeping her pussy from swallowing much more that two inches. I smacked her ass to remind her who was in charge. She sighed in frustration. I smacked her other cheek and she once again tried to grind back onto me. I smacked her twice more a little harder, reddening her full ass. 

I slowly pulled out of her, resting just the tip of my cock head in her pussy. The effect kept her lips parted enough to maintain easy access. Then suddenly and with a force intended to shock her, in one powerful fluid motion I filled her. Something between a shirek and a moan was forced from her. Instinctively she pushed her ass back against my cock. 

“That’s a good girl.” I whispered while looking down at my dick deep inside her. I made every effort possible to shove my cock as deep inside her as I could. I reached down to her hips and gripped them tightly. I pulled her up and down onto me harder. I arched my back towards her trying to force myself deeper and deeper. I held my cock there for a moment and started to vibrate it. It wasn’t enough to get her off, just enough to make her crazy. I held her like this, pulling on her hips and aggressively ground myself against her, keeping my cock deep within her. She matched my movements and ground back into me. 

“You like my big cock deep inside you?” I asked. 

“Yes…” She moaned. 

“You like getting fucked like this, don’t you?” I asked. 

“Yes…” She moaned again. 

“I’m going to use your pussy to get myself off.” I said and she moaned louder. 

“Fuck yes! Use me!” Her voice more breathy as she withered in anticipation. She was submitting to me. 

“I’m going to fuck you hard.” I said. 

“Yes… yes! Give it to me! Pound me!” She begged. I adjusted my grip on her hips, positioning my knees to get the maximum leverage. She reached back and started rubbing her clit. With each wave of pleasure I brought her I could see her tight little asshole pucker and her pussy clenched down on my cock. She was enjoying herself. 

I never loosened my grip on her hips, bracing her with my strength as I slammed my full weight into her. Over and over again, I tried to fuck her as intensely as possible. I wanted her to pull away until she couldn’t bear the pain anymore. I started using my super speed to fuck her faster. My balls swung and slammed against her clit, hitting her hand which was still rubbing herself. Her free hand was smacking against the floor, half because she needed to brace herself, half because her increasing pleasure made her do so. Harder and harder, I kept fucking her. So hard in fact , I made her lose her balance and her stomach fell against the floor. I still didn’t led up. I climbed onto of her, straddling her ass and pressed my cock back into her gaping pussy. I grabbed her ass cheeks and began fucking her again. I spread her ass open so I could clearly see my dick thrusting into her pussy. 

“Fuck!” She shouted. 

“I’m gonan cum!” She cried out in pleasurable pain. She came with an intense orgasm and I never stopped. I fucked her right through her orgasm. However, hearing her cum brought me closer to my own orgasm. I couldn’t help myself and came right inside her. I pulled out of her and collapsed onto the floor next to her. 

“That was amazing…” She whispered, her eyelids hardly open. I pulled her into my arms and kissed the top of her head. 

“I’m sorry for yelling at you…” She said as her eyes slowly closed. 

“I just don’t want you hurt and I don’t want these criminals out on the streets when we could have caught them…” I sighed and she nodded. 

“I don’t want you hurt either.” She said quietly and I lifted her head up to kiss her plump lips. 

“I won’t, just stick to the plan next time, okay?” I asked and she nodded, snuggling back into my chest. We were both clearly tired, but I found the energy to speed us into our bedroom so we could comfortably sleep.

Chapter One: Newest Detective

I came in from a crime scene to fill out paperwork in my lab. There was a sticky note on my door, and I assumed it was a joke from my coworkers, but I took it and read it. "Do not disturb, unless Barry," I read aloud, "Unless Barry? What does that mean?" I could tell it was August's handwriting, so I went inside. I almost didn't notice the bundle of blankets in my desk chair while tidying up. I walked around the office, poring over my notes before I heard someone's stomach growl. The bundle of blankets moved, and I jumped. I thought it was a kitten or a puppy that August picked up. Then I got a closer look at the blankets. They were Thad's baby blankets.

"Noodle?" I asked as I removed the blankets and picked up my grandson. He wrapped his arms around my neck, and I plopped down in my chair, wondering how he got into my office. "Where's Donny and Mel?"

"At home," Thad mumbled into my shoulder, "I ran away." My heart dropped as I realized how dangerous his trip must've been, and I wondered why Mel and Donny didn't call me.

"Okay. Well, we should call so your parents know you're safe," I whispered. Thad shook his head. "Come on, Noodle. For me?"

Thad nodded. "I don't want to talk, though," Thad replied. I rubbed his back as I dialed the number and put the phone on speaker.

"Hi, Grandpa Barry!" Bart answered.

"Hi, Barry!" Owen greeted.

"You fellas are one short... Where's Thad?" I asked.

"With Grandpa," Bart answered.

"Okay... Put Donny and Mel on the phone... I need to talk to them privately," I commanded gently.

"Mommy! Daddy!" Bart yelled. I could hear them scrambling to give the phone to their parents.

"Hi, Dad. Is everything okay?" Donny asked.

"Where's Noodle?" I questioned.

"At his Grandpa's," Mel chimed in.

"He has two grandpas... And he's with me," I confessed. Donny gasped. "Now, don't worry. He's alright. I think August got him settled in my office. What happened at home?"

"He got into a scuffle with Bart, and I guess we could've dealt with things better—. How did he get all the way to Kansas by himself?" Donny asked.

"I don't know yet. I can keep Thad for a little while until things cool down if you want," I suggested.

"If that's what Tad wants, then that's okay," Mel replied, "Will you tell him that we love him and give him a kiss for us, Dad?"

I insisted that Mel call me Dad. She was a sweet kid and a doting mother, and she made Donny happy. "I will, Mel. I love you, kids, okay?" I whispered.

"We love you too, Dad. We'll call you tomorrow to see if everything's okay," Donny replied.

They hung up, and I pressed a few kisses to Thad's cheek. "Hungry?" I asked. Thad nodded.

"Can we have nuggets and apples?" Thad asked. I chuckled.

"How could I say no to nuggets and apples?" I smiled as I tapped him on the nose.

Thad smiled at me. I'd be lying if I said I wasn't happy to have him around, even under the circumstances. He hopped down and reached for my hand. "Grandpa Barry?" Thad whispered.

"Yes, Noodle?" I asked.

"Is Grandma gonna be mad?" Thad questioned.

I thought about it for a while, so Thad knew I wasn't giving him the answer he wanted. "No, Grandma's gonna be excited to see you," I reassured him, "But I still think it'd be a good idea if I brought you home at the end of my shift instead of dropping you off."

"Okay," Thad replied. He grabbed my hand, and we left my office. We ran into August on my way out.

"Hey, you goin' out for lunch?" August asked. I nodded. "Bring me back something?"

"Can do," I replied.

I had to get his car seat out of my trunk when we got to the car, but he climbed in and helped me set it up. I buckled him in and fixed his hat on his head. He was asleep within minutes. Had it been Bart, he would've asked question after question the whole ride to the restaurant. I glanced at the backseat once we were in the drive-thru, and Thad had his thumb in his mouth. "Noodle, we're here. Still want nuggets and apples?" I asked. He nodded, still half-asleep. I ordered our food and got him a toy on my way back. "We've got a few more hours at the precinct, and then we can go home."

Thad chewed on his apples first and stared out the window. "You can dip them in your caramel if you want," I offered. Thad shook his head.

By the time we reached the precinct, Thad had eaten the last of his apples, and he neatly folded up his bag, waiting for me to unbuckle him. Thad knew how to unbuckle himself, but he wanted to be sure it was time to get out of the car. I appreciated his caution. I let him ride on my back and held the food with one hand and our drinks with the other. August was waiting in my office when we returned, and I gave him his bag. "Grandpa get you a toy? Or should I take him in?" August joked. Thad grinned and showed August the little Hot Wheels car that came with his kid's meal. "Oh, wow! Nice Buick!"

Thad bobbed his head side-to-side proudly as he ate his nuggets. I twisted in the chair with Thad, and he looked up at me. "Grandpa Barry," Thad whispered.

"Sorry," I replied. August chuckled.

Thad finished his meal and threw his garbage away. "Did the fibers from the closet come back yet?" August asked casually.

I nodded. "No match to the fibers found on the victim's neck," I replied, "But, I did find something interesting about it. The fibers are mohair, and the mohair fabric—."

"What's mohair, Grandpa?" Thad questioned as he drank his juice. He seemed invested in the conversation as any detective would be, and I wasn't in the business of giving patronizing answers to my grandkids. They were all pretty smart kids.

I logged into my computer and completed the search for him. "It's a fabric made from goat hair that's prone to shedding, and this is not a fabric that you'd want to get wet. Mohair is prone to warping and shrinkage when exposed to water... And it's a direct match to the fibers found at two other crime scenes. The first involves a missing person's case from six months ago," I explained. August perked up.

"The Edmonds case?" August asked.

"Yup. And the Roberson case," I added.

"Still doesn't explain why there was no sign of breaking and entering," August mumbled.

"Unless they were selling sweaters," Thad whispered. We both looked at him. "Did I say something wrong, Grandpa?"

"No, I think you just gave us a lead. I'm gonna look into this, and if I find anything, you are getting the biggest ice cream cone known to man," August promised him on his way out the door.

Thad looked up at me, and I grinned. "How'd you think of that?" I asked.

"Sometimes Mommy buys things from door-to-door salesmen," Thad answered. Kids, right. I messed up his hair and took a sip of my soda.

"You're so helpful," I commended him.

"Will you tell Grandma Iris that I helped?" Thad asked. I knew why he asked, but I nodded anyway. Thad was always a bit afraid of Iris, and I could never understand why.

"Grandma's gonna ask how you got here... You know that, right?" I questioned.

"Mhm," Thad whispered.

"Are you gonna tell her?" I asked.

"Can you?" Thad replied. He seemed so distraught I couldn't be moved to chuckle. I kissed the top of his head to reassure him.

"You'd have to tell me how you got here first," I explained.

[shrinkthisviolet]

“Yeah.” Morgan laughed, sniffling a little herself. “Although, speaking of talking, who—?” When she didn’t continue, Barry looked over, startled to see her frozen in…in fear as she looked at her phone. He opened his mouth to ask what was wrong, Cisco’s words from before swirling in his head, but she beat him to it: “Shit. Dad’s gonna kill me.”

POV something with Morgan and Barry?

Gladly! Let’s go with their first meeting as superheroes (from Barry’s POV instead of Morgan’s this time):

The other meta helped him up. “You alright?”

He nodded, slightly stunned. They sounded…strangely young, almost like a kid. But that couldn’t be—maybe they just had a young voice. “Yeah. And you’re…?”

“Sentry.” They grinned. “And you’re the Streak. Nice to meet you.”

He grimaced—he loved Iris, really, but that name was not it. But then, a wave of clones swarmed up the escalator, and he said, “Fight now, talk later? He’s a multiplier. You take the ones on the left, I’ll take the ones on the right?”

“Got it.” And with that, they were off.

The clones were legion—as fast as Barry dispatched one, two more seemed to spring up. It was like a worse version of the Hydra conundrum.

Not to mention, he was still curious about the meta he’d been talking to—Sentry. A name…a protective one too. Had they named themself that?

Speaking of Sentry, though, they seemed to be having some trouble with a headlock, so Barry rushed over to give them a hand.

“This isn’t working!” They called over to him, fighting off more clones with their shields.

“I have an idea!” He called back. “If I take out Black, that might stop the clones!”

“Good call! Try not to die!” They teased.

He snorted, zipping away. At the very least, they had a sense of humor. Most bad metas didn’t…so Barry started to wonder: Maybe they’re like me.

And if they were…maybe he could help them. Maybe the Team could. He decided to float the idea after the fight, see how they took it. He’d offered Bette this chance, so why not Sentry?

Except…things quickly went awry. The window shattering, Black falling, Barry reaching out to catch him and hold him fast…

Black pulled away, but then Sentry appeared, grabbing his wrist. “It doesn’t have to be like this!” They called, voice rising in desperation—and their mouth was covered, but those tear-filled blue eyes certainly weren’t. “You don’t have to—”

“Don’t act like you understand!” Black snarled. “I lost everything! My wife…my best friend…I had to bury her because of what Stagg did! Imagine that!”

Sentry recoiled, and in their distraction, Black pulled free and fell to his death.

They screamed, horrified as a hand flew to their mouth, shaking in terror…and all Barry could do was rush them outside and try to calm them down.

Forget STAR Labs. Forget all of it. He could hear the Team urging him to get Sentry over there, but…he couldn’t. Not when they were like this.

“Are you okay?” He murmured gently as they came back to themself.

They shook their head quickly—and this close, Barry could see how young they really looked. “C-can I…can I hug you?”

College-age, then. Close to childhood, even if they’re past it. He nodded, pulling them into a hug and rubbing soothing circles on their back as they sobbed.

I’m going to protect you, he decided, right then and there. If you want to be a hero…then I’m going to teach you.

(Little did he know just how important Sentry would grow to be to him.)

Send me "POV" + a scene/characters, and I'll write a scene from one of my fics/wips in another character's POV!

It's probably the sun.” Wow. Great job, Clark. -*-*- Or, Bruce flirts with Superman. Is this a problem? Clark seems to think so.
