Chapter 12

Takes place at the same time as the last chapter.

Oliver Queen was sure that he was going to be son-less with the way Barry was talking about Roy in a relationship with Brodie. The blond archer knew that the other blond man was very protective of his niece even before she was attacked. Barry started to rant and rave as soon as Batman had taken Two-Face back to Arkham and Roy had headed back to Star City.

After several minutes of hearing his teammate and friend rant about his son Ollie had enough. "Barry, would you just calm down for a minute?" Ollie slightly yelled out causing the speedster to stop his ranting.

"How can I calm down when my niece who let me remind you is like a daughter to me is possibility dating your son who has a rebellious streak a mile wide." Barry pointed out.

Ollie just let out a sigh and put his hand in his face. The blond billionaire knew that something else was going on with the speedster with the way he was acting.

"Is the way you are acting have something to do with Roy or are you just afraid that Brodie is going to get hurt again?" Ollie asked with a slight glare.

"No! It's nothing like that Ollie." Barry replied a little too fast.

"Than what's the reason?"

Barry looked at his archer friend with a sigh. The truth was that the speedster really didn't why he was acting the way he was. One thing he knew that he maybe was being a little over protective of Brodie due to the attack that had happened several months ago.

"Barry, could the reason why you are acting the way you are is because you are afraid that Brodie will be hurt again?" Ollie asked as he placed his hands on his friend's shoulders.

Barry looked at Ollie with a surprised look on his face.

"That's the reason is it not?"

Barry once again let out a sigh. Ollie was right. He was afraid that Brodie was going to get hurt again.

Ollie looked at the speedster with another glare. There was once again more than what Barry was saying.

"What else is the matter?" Ollie asked.

Barry walked over to a bench and sat down with a thud. Ollie was right about something else being the matter.

"Brodie wasn't attacked as Kid Flash. She was attacked as a civilian because of my job as a CSI, the job that put my family at risk. I mean look at me Ollie. I am supposed to be the fastest man alive and protect everyone but I couldn't even protect my niece." Barry pointed out with a sigh.

Ollie looked at his friend and knew that it was going to take a lot of encouragement for both speedsters to get over the demons that are plaguing them. For Barry it was trying to convince him that it wasn't his fault about what happened to his niece. For Brodie it was trying to get rid of the memories of the attack which Roy seemed to be helping with.

"Barry I don't even know where to begin with you and Brodie but you do need to understand that the League is doing everything they can to help you and your niece." Ollie pointed out as he placed a hand on the blond speedster's shoulder.

"I just wish I could go back in time to stop the attack from taking place." Barry replied in a soft voice. He would always blame himself for what had happened to Brodie.

"We all wish we could go back in time and change some things in our life but someone once told me that we learn from what has happened in the present." The Archer said in a no nonsense tone of voice as he sat down beside his friend and put a comforting hand on Barry's shoulder once more.

Barry just looked at what he could possibly say was his niece's boyfriend's father with slight glare. How could you learn from having someone that you have raised since she was 8 be attacked and somewhat mentally traumatized by the ordeal?

"She's opening up more and is more cautious about her surroundings. I'm not saying that what happened to her is a good thing but it has helped her and you know what I am talking about." Ollie told the blond speedster.

Barry sighed. Ollie was right with what he had said. Ever since Brodie's attack her team had become even closer to each other and had bonded even more. Brodie's senses had become more heightened and she really did take her time when she was sent out on a mission with her friends. Also they would have never known that Two-Face was still running his operations from inside of Arkham.

"Brodie is a strong girl and with help from her team and the adults she will be back to her normal self in no time." Ollie told his friend.

"I know that Ollie, it just that I'm so afraid that something like this will happen again because of my job as a CSI. As Kid Flash she can defend herself but as Brodie West she can't." Barry pointed out still not completely convinced that it wasn't his fault that his niece was attacked.

Ollie was at his limits with his friend and decided to take matters into his own hands. Ollie took matters into his own hands by doing the one thing he could do to the speedster and that was punching Barry right in the face as hard as he could sending the speedster to the ground.

"What the hell was that for Ollie?" Barry yelled as he rubbed his face where he had been hit.

"You need to get out of your pity party Barry. What happened was not your fault in any way, Shape or form. Heck Brodie seems to be taking what happened to her better than you are at the moment." Ollie pointed out.

Barry glared at his fellow blond. He was not having a pity party. It was just no matter what anyone had tried to say to him he would always feel that it was his fault that Brodie was raped.

"Barry, what I think you need to do is at least talk to Black Canary about what you are feeling. It is only far that you do that since you made Brodie talk to her. You should do the same. Also I think that you should talk with Brodie and your wife about what is going on and how everyone feels." Ollie told Barry. He knew from his experiences with Roy that talking was the best thing that you could do in a trying situations.

Barry let out a sigh again and realized that once again Ollie was right. He really needed to talk to his family about what has been happening. Why did a man who was having trouble with his own son knew what to do in a trying situations and this was certainly one of those trying situations.

"Alright Ollie I'll sit down with Dinah and talk. Also I'll talk with my family about what is going on." Barry replied as he got up and gave Ollie one of his 'thank you' smiles and headed to catch a bus to Central City. Normally Barry would just run over to his house but the bus ride would give me time to think. Time to think about how he could help his niece recover from everything that has happened to her.

Next chapter Barry, Iris and Brodie sit down and talk about all that has happened in the past few months. also Brodie and Roy go out on a date only for something bad to happen.

Ideas are welcomed anytime and ideas for the man to be that raped Brodie. as i want him to be someone in the DC universe

Reviews would be great as well.
