Out of the Dark

A small child, only 7 years old, spent years of his life being forced to become a soldier, forced out of all childhood characteristics since he could walk. Going under tragedy that broke him. He became a mere broken shell of what a child was supposed to be. And the worst part is, he knows it.

11. Chapter 11

Flash walked over to the boys.

"Listen you guys know who we are under the masks right?," he asked.

The two boys nodded.

"Ok. Listen. Green Lantern and I are gonna come by tomorrow. And you guys are gonna be living with us for a few days ok?,"

The two boys looked at each other smiled and nodded.

"Don't get any ideas. Just a few days and then you're both coming back here," Flash said sternly.

"Whatever you say," Ryan said.

"Good boy," Flash replied.

He put a hand on Ryan's shoulder causing him to flinch again. This time Flash noticed a flash of an emotion in his eyes when he looked at his hand. Pure fear. Was he really expecting Flash to hit him? Why would he do that? Though, guessing by the fact that Flix was reacting to his flinching like it was a normal thing, this was a normal thing for Ryan to do. It made his stomach turn to think of what, or who, had made the poor boy that way. But he really didn't wanna focus on it.
