When Barry had saved his mother he had no idea what would happen, but knew he was doing the right thing.
Barry woke up from the same dream he has had since that day the Yellow Man made the storm in their living room, and the Red Man saved him and his mom. The dream portrayed that he himself was the Red Man called The Flash, and that he and some friends saved people. Another strange thing that kept happening was that Barry knew things he shouldn't have any knowledge of, such as that Joe had a son named Wally. Ever since Barry told Joe about Wally and found him he never questioned Barry when he had the look. That's what his parents named the face that Barry make when he knows something he's not supposed to know.
Barry got up, because today he and Iris were going with Joe to the station for Job Day, because Barry's dad could not take Barry to his work. He walked outside already dressed and ready to go, and climbed into the back of Joe's car to find Wally seated in the back and Iris in the front.
"Hi Barry, are you ready?" Iris asked from the front. Barry nodded and Joe drove off. Wally offered some of the chips he was eating in the back. He took a handful and ate them, while Iris talked to her father the whole ride about some girls in her grade who were mean to everyone convinced they were the plastics from the movie Mean Girls. It made him wonder why girls were so mean to one another.
Joe pulled up to the station, and everyone got out. Barry walked up the staircase to the crime lab as the others followed Joe to his desk. Barry loved the crime lab, it felt like a second home to him in the same way that Joe's house did. More in a way though that this only place Barry felt he could breathe. When he walked in he found sitting on one of the chairs was a high school student reading some of the crime files. He was tall and wearing a parka, even though it was not that cold out. Something about him made Barry's heart speed up and set all of his nerves on edge, as well as calm him in a way Barry had never felt. Barry carefully climbed the last steps he was on, but with his bad luck he tripped and fell straight on his face. The high schooler looked at him, then rushed over to help him to his feet.
"Thank you," Barry stuttered out.
"No problem, the name's Len. And yours would be?", he said as he extended his hand. "Barry...Barry Allen." Barry turned red as he shook Len's hand. He smiled at Barry, but soon turned mad as Detective Snart came in.
"Come on Len, it's time to go home."
"Yes, Dad" he got up and quickly said to Barry, "It was nice meeting you, Kid."
When Len and Detective Snart left, he suddenly had visions of Detective Snart hitting Len and a young girl. Barry felt tears fall from his face, and standing in front of him was Iris.
"What did you see?"
"Snart hitting his kids," replied Barry. Iris hugged him and shushed him till he stopped crying.
"Let's go tell Dad what happened."
"No," Barry sniffed out, "this is the only day he gets to see Wally. I don't want to wreck it." "Okay, but the second Wally is home we tell him," said Iris. Barry nodded.
Joe pulled up to Wally's house, letting the youngest of the group out before turning around to look at Iris and Barry with a stern gaze. Iris looked at Barry mimicking the face the best she could. Barry looks down before quietly saying
"I had one of my… you know things at the station about Detective Snart hitting his kids." Joe was quiet for a few seconds, but then put his hand on Barry's head and ruffled his hair. He said,
"I'll look into it Barry, you know I will." Barry nodded and Joe drove them home. Barry stood staring at his ceiling and could not stop thinking about Len. From how he looked in the station, cool and awesome, to the way he looked in the vision. He was scared, but not of getting hurt. No, he was trying to protect his sister. Barry could not sit still, so he got up and started to make a plan for how he could help. He couldn't always just hand the problem of what he saw to Joe. He would have to start dealing with this himself.
