Barry' s pov
I was looking forward to Spring Break, because, even though crime wouldn' t take a vacation and I'd probably have to suit up a few times, my cousins were coming to stay with me! Peter Parker, whose mom was my Dad' s sister, and Eugene Thompson, whose dad was my Mom's sister. They were coming from New York, and I could finally have both sides of my family united. They were due any moment now. Just as I thought that, the doorbell rang, revealing my paternal cousin. Both smiling, we hugged each other as I playfully ruffled the highschooler' s hair"Peter!" He smiled
"Hey, Barr. I'm so glad you' re still doing ok with the lightning and all."
I grinned " I'm just fine, no worries." we then sat down and engrossed ourselves in what Iris dubbed "nerd talk", since we both shared a love for science and he was an aspiring inventor and I was a CSI. We were brought back out of our conversation when the doorbell rang again and I smiled
" That' s Eugene, my cousin on my Mom' s side. I really hope you guys get along, I'm sorry I kinda put you two here at the same time... But he ' s your age and from New York too" he shrugged " It' s fine. I'm sure we' ll get along just fine."
I opened the door and hugged my cousin "Hey Eugene." he hugged me back but said something that made me a bit jealous " It' s Flash. I go by Flash. Cause I'm fast. You should see me in track in gym class." the kid may be known as Flash at his school, but he has no idea what that moniker represents here in Central City. My own cousin stole my name... Hopefully there won't be any mix ups while he' s here. I guided him to the living room where Peter was, and their jaws dropped
"Parker?!"
Peter shot back, looking a bit scared "Flash?!"
I asked a question, hoping my suspicions would not be confirmed "Peter, why are you afraid of him?"
He replied " He torments me everyday, why is he here? Is he REALLY your cousin?"
I nodded, then evaluated the situation. My cousins know each other, study together, Eugene bullies Peter, and Eugene stole my name. What' s gonna happen when I have to leave them alone? I can't believe Eugene's temper turned him into a bully! At least he's not part metal, or a metallic zombie like my former nemesis, Tony Woodward aka Girder then Zombie Girder. This was going to be a complicated week...
