Barry sped through the forest, dodging trees on his way to the lodge. Light shined through the leaves as Barry leaped over rocks and roots.

Man, it's a good thing that kid warned me when he did. I was almost toast-

*Thud*

A wall of dirt forms instantaneously in front of Barry, causing him to collide with it. Falling on his back, Barry clutched his stomach, groaning as the wall fell.

W-What was that?!

Getting onto his feet, Barry observed more walls forming, starting to box him in.

Must be one of the pussycat's quirks.

Barry smirked.

Well, they don't know that I can do this!

Vibrating his molecules, Barry effortlessly strode through the wall, only to find more.

Oh, forget this!

Using his speed, Barry raced up the side of a tree, making a leap to clear the dirt walls. As the walls rose in height, Barry continued to climb as well, leaping from branch to branch.

Ha! They can't keep up!

"Damn!" said Pixie-Bob, "That blonde kid is fast, I can't herd him back to the others!"

Jay stepped forward, looking over the valley, "Let him go, he's not the same as the others."

"Hey, no matter how cute he is, I'm not just gonna let up!" said Pixie-Bob.

"Don't worry, I've got something else in mind." said Jay, "I think you'll quite like it."

"Really?" said Pixie-Bob, "What is it?"

Jay smirked, "Let's have Barry relieve you of some work."

Barry slid to a stop in front of a clearing, looking at the huge lodge in front of him. Despite his speed, it had still taken him hours to get there. It was around noon.

"Wow, so this is where we're staying?!" said Barry.

"Sure is!"

Barry turned around, finding Jay had chased him down.

"Oh, Jay!" said Barry, "I got here before anybody else, but I feel a bit bad leaving everyone behind."

"Hey, you caught on faster than the rest of them." said a new voice.

Barry watched in confusion as the ginger-haired boy from before emerged from behind Jay, crossing his arms.

"Hey, it's you!" said Barry, "I gotta thank you for the warning!"

"Don't thank me yet." said the boy, "Listen to what the old man has to say."

Jay frowned at being called an old man, but continued, "The plan was for the whole class to arrive at once so we could do a tour of the facilities together, but you got here a few hours early."

Barry cocked his head, "What does that mean for me?"

"It means," said Jay, "you get to help the teachers!"

"Huh?!" said Barry, "What do you mean help the teachers?!"

"Follow me!" said Jay, zipping inside while grabbing the boy. Barry followed suite, utterly confused.

The 2 speedsters arrived inside, staring into a large kitchen.

"A kitchen?" said Barry, "Why a kitchen?"

"Well," said Jay, putting down the boy, "The plan was for the class to make its own food, though today the teachers were going to do it to help you settle in."

"And you're telling me this...why?" said Barry.

"Well," said the boy, "since you got here so early, and the old man wants to shield you from the middle aged pedophile, you'll be cooking all the food for your classmates!"

Barry narrowed his eyes, "...Huh?!"

"Wally here will read you the directions." said Jay.

"What?!" said the boy, apparently named Wally, "I don't wanna be locked in her for four hours!"

"Sorry kid, someone has to direct Barry," said Jay, "Good Luck!"

Jay zipped out the door, locking it behind him and leaving the two boys inside. A moment of silence ensued as Barry processed the events that just occurred while Wally frustratingly sighed.

"So," said Barry, "Wally right?"

Class 1-A stumbled through the forest, caked in dirt and sweat. Their legs shuffled weakly as they drew shallow breaths.

"Damn that Barry!" said Mineta, "He tucked tail and ran!"

"We're all trying to get there Mineta." said Mina, "Barry just got there faster."

"I bet the bastards enjoying the air conditioning right now!" said Mineta.

"DON'T PUT THE PEPPERS IN YET!" shouted Wally.

"WHY, I CHOPPED THEM ALREADY?!" said Barry.

"Because the Onions still need to simmer!" said Wally.

Barry groaned, tossing the knife on the cutting board and sitting down to watch the Onions cook.

"Man, this is a punishment!" said Barry, "I can't use my speed to cook all the food at once."

"Duh, cooking takes time." said Wally, "You ever had to roast something? The meat sits in the oven for hours."

Barry sighed, "Guess that's the way it is."

Wally walked over to the pan, taking a sniff, "Needs more salt."

Grabbing a pinch of salt, Wally sprinkled some into the pan.

"You seem to know your way around the kitchen." said Barry.

"Yup, my aunt's not home often, so I had to cook for myself a lot." said Wally, "She's a journalist."

"Oh." said Barry, "Where is she now?"

"Afghanistan," said Wally, "the Pussycats are family friends, so I'm staying with them for now."

"Afghanistan?" said Barry, "I know the oil wars and such are over, but it's still a fairly delicate place, you think she's safe?"

"Oh definitely, my aunt eats people for breakfast." said Wally, "Time to add peppers."

Barry sped over to the cutting board, dicing the peppers up further before sliding them into the pan.

"You're fast." said Wally.

"Yeah, I am." said Barry.

"Not as fast as All-Might though." said Wally.

Barry shot a look at Wally, "Hey! What made you make that comparison?"

"I didn't want you getting any ideas!" said Wally, "All-Might's the best at everything!"

"Heh," said Barry, "You think he's the best cook?"

"Um," stammered Wally, unable to answer, "No."

"Well, he can't be the best at everything then." said Barry, stirring the peppers at super speed. "Though he is an amazing hero."

"Hah, preaching to the choir!" said Wally.

Barry looked back at Wally, "How old are you?"

"14," said Wally, "my birthday was a month ago."

"Wow," said Barry, "You don't look 14."

"Shut up!" said Wally, "Looks don't determine age, physical or mental."

"You're pretty smart for a 14 year old, that's for sure." said Barry.

"Yeah, I am." said Wally, "You've ruined the food."

"Huh?" said Barry, looking back at the pan. He had stirred so fast that all the food had been ground into much, "OH SON OF A-"

Barry sighed, dumping the contents of the pan into the trash, "Time to start over."

"Hah, what you lack in brains you make up for in brawn!" said Wally.

"Can you stop with the jabs." said Barry, "I'm trying to cook food here."

Another dirt monster fell, a product of Pixie-Bob's quirk.

"Gah!" said Mina, clutching her side, "That sucked, I think I broke a rib."

"Such is the nature of training camp!" said Iida, "We must press onward!"

"No more!" Cried Mineta, "No more!"

"The kid with the baseball cap," said Barry, "Who's he?"

"A valued member of the Pussycats." said Wally.

"Quit messing with me." said Barry, "Who is he, really."

"He's Mandalay's second cousin," said Wally, "he's not as into heroes as I am."

"Why is that?" asked Barry.

"It's because of his parents." said Wally, "They were heroes, but they died in a villain attack."

Barry looked solemn, he could relate after all, "That's awful."

"Yeah, I've tried talking to him, but he never wants to listen or anything." said Wally, "I just...wish I could help him."

Barry frowned, putting down the pan to let it simmer, "Wally, what do you try to talk about with Kota."

"Anything!" said Wally, "But we always get into an argument about heroes, he has this stupid idea that they're all corny and stupid!"

Barry stepped away from the stovetop, "Maybe you shouldn't try to convince him."

"Huh?" said Wally.

"Wally, Kota had something unthinkable happen to him at an age so young he didn't even know how to process it. Hell, I had something similar happen to me when I was ten and I'm still not fully over it." said Barry, "He's still grieving, give him time. He's not gonna change his mind for a while after something like that, so don't try to. Talk about other things, try to connect with him there."

Wally put the cookbook down, "I….Thanks for the advice."

"You're welcome!" said Barry.

"The stuff's about to burn." said Wally.

Barry whirled around at super-speed, snatching the food off the stovetop, "Not this time!"

Letting the food cool, he placed it onto a platter, "Great, one serving completed, 20 more to go! I wish I could cook it faster though."

"Give it time, it's grieving." said Wally.

"Hey, I gave you good advice, don't push your luck." said Barry.

The sun had begun to set as Class 1-A finally began to enter the clearing. They were exhausted, having gone through far more resistance than Barry did. The wooden lodge stood in front of them, as well as Jay, Mandalay, Aizawa, and Pixie-Bob.

"Oh god!" said Kirishima "I'm so hungry I'm gonna die!"

"They were totally exaggerating when they said 3 hours!" said Mina.

"That's how long it would have taken us to get here." said Mandalay, "You on the other hand."

"Did you say that just to boast about how much better you are," asked Sato, "cause that's mean."

"Don't worry, you did better than we expected," said Pixie-Bob, "Especially you four!"

Pixie-Bob pointed at the group that consisted of Iida, Todoroki, Bakugo, and Midoriya, "I would include the other cutie who arrived early, but Jay here snatched him away for some other job."

"Huh, Barry got a special assignment?!" said Mina.

"LUCKY BASTARD!" screamed Mineta.

"Alright class, calm down." said Aizawa, "Let's get inside, I assume you all want to eat."

"YES PLEASE!" said the class.

The meal room of the lodge was full of the usual benches and tables. While not the fanciest accommodation, it was certainly enough for the exhausted class. The teachers had gathered around, watching over them as Kota stood by.

"Ah man!" said Kirishima, "Bring out the grub already!"

"Be patient Kirishima," said Midoriya, "It'll be ready when it's ready."

Jay chuckled, "You kiddos are gonna have to cook your own food for most of your time here, but today's special."

"What makes it special?" asked Kaminari.

"We wanted to ease you into today," said Jay, "Dropping you in the deep end wouldn't be the best idea."

"Aw, thanks Mr. Garrick." said Uraraka.

"Don't thank me, thank your classmate." said Jay, "He got here early, so he got to have a lot of practice."

"Wait," said Mina, "you don't mean..."

A gust of wind blew through the room as a blur passed every table, dropping a plate of food in front of every student's face. The blur slid to a stop, revealing Barry as he took a bow.

"TADA!" announced Barry, "I cooked all your food!"

The class sat in utter shock.

"R-Really?" said Yaoyorozu.

"Yeah, I got here early, so they made me cook food for the rest of the time I was here." said Barry, "Enjoy!"

Barry took a seat, watching tentatively as Kirishima took a bite. He chewed for a few seconds before swallowing.

"Wow!" said Kirishima, "This isn't that bad!"

"Really?!" said Barry.

"It's not restaurant quality." said Todoroki, "But it's serviceable."

"I'll take that as a compliment!" said Barry, digging into his own plate.

The class began to eat, shoveling the food into their mouths. Kota watched with an eye of cynicism.

"Hey Kota."

Kota turned to his right, finding Wally. Instead of answering, he turned away, an angry look on his face.

"C'mon, I just want to talk." said Wally.

"I'm not talking to some Hero shill." said Kota.

Wally sighed, "I...I don't wanna talk about heroes."

Kota glared at Wally, "What?"

"You clearly feel one way about that, I feel another way, that's just the way it is." said Wally, "I don't hate you for feeling that way Kota. I just wanna be friends."

Kota turned away, "No."

"C'mon!" said Wally, "Please!"

Kota turned around, observing the sincere expression on Wally's face, "...Fine, we can talk about hiking."

"Hiking?" said Wally, "Alright!"

Barry glanced over at Wally, who had begun to converse with Kota, and smiled.

Guess he found some common ground!

Barry returned to his meal, spooning some rice into his mouth.

Across the table, Kaminari began to giggle, "Heh, Hey Mine."

"Yeah?" said Mina.

"This is some good food." said Kaminari.

"It's pretty decent yeah." said Mina, spooning some food into her mouth.

"Well, if you like it so much," said Kaminari, "Why don't you kiss the cook."

*GAGK*

Mina gagged, choking on the food in her throat. She spat out the spoon, pounding her chest with her fist before she finally spat out the food as well.

"Mina!" said Barry, "Are you ok?!"

Mina looked up, noticing the entire table was looking at her in concern, "T-Thanks, I'm fine."

Her classmates nodded, going back to eating as she shot a death glare at Kaminari.

"What?" said Kaminari.

*Smack*

"Ow!" said Kaminari as Mina slammed her foot onto his.

"Why don't YOU kiss the cook." said Mina, taking a sip of water.

AN: ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) Just gonna leave this here. Ya'll know what's about to go down.

"Ah!" said Barry, "That's really nice."

After dinner, the class had decided to visit the hot springs in the lodge to refresh. Barry submerged his body in the warm waters, refreshing himself.

I don't need this as much as the other guys do, they went through a whole lot more resistance getting here.

Barry took a deep breath, observing his hands.

When the lightning struck me, I had scars all over my body, but it's kinda crazy how the speed force just...erases damage.

Barry balled up his hands, making a fist.

I gotta trust the speed force, it's the best way to make sure Thawne doesn't hurt my friends.

"What're you doing over there Mineta?" said Midoriya.

Barry was pulled out of his thoughts by Midoriya, who seemed to be gesturing at Mineta, who stood in front of the tall wooden wall between hot springs.

"I'm here for what's beyond that wall." said Mineta, "You know what I'm talking about. They don't have girls and boys bathe at separate times I guess."

Barry sat up, "Mineta?"

"Don't worry Barry, I won't do anything on purpose." said Mineta, "We'll just have ourselves a happy little accident."

"How about I save us the trouble," said Barry, getting up, "they'll be no accidents, happy or not."

"Heh, I beg to differ." said Mineta, pulling a ball out of his hair.

Before Barry can grab him, Mineta leaps onto the wall, using his balls to rapidly climb upward.

"Oh no you don't!" shouted Barry, leaping after Mineta.

That was his fatal mistake.

Mineta smirked, his master plan in motion. Leaving a ball on the wall, Mineta leaped outward, off the wall as Barry attempted to grab him. Mineta watched as Barry's hand landed on the ball, allowing him to torque his body in midair, his hair sticking itself to Barry's other hand.

"HAHA FOOL!" said Mineta, "YOU FELL VICTIM TO MY MASTER PLAN!"

"W-What?!" stuttered Barry.

"You see, I learned from last time!" said Mineta, "I saw you go through the walls, you got to see all the ladies at their best!"

"I closed my eyes!" shouted Barry, "That's disgusting Mineta!"

"Maybe to you!" said Mineta, "But not to me! See, you can't seem to unstick from my balls without going through a wall, so I'm gonna leave you no choice!"

Mineta cackled maniacally, "So now you have to vibrate to unstick, and when you do I'm going to the other side with you! HAHAHAHAHA!"

Barry was completely flabbergasted, "I-You-What?!"

"Well?" said Mineta, "Vibrate away and deliver my boobs!"

Barry hung for a moment, thinking things through.

Wait a minute!

"Well, I don't have to vibrate." said Barry.

"HUH?!" said Mineta.

"I can just wait until the girls are gone." said Barry, "Then there'll be no happy accident."

"GAH, a fatal flaw!" said Mineta, "I've been outclassed!"

"You need to give this up Mineta." said Barry, "It's isn't characteristic of a hero."

"You need to stop being such a prude." said Mineta.

*BONK*

"OW!" said Barry, a bump forming on his head, "What the heck?!"

Looking up, Barry spotted Kota holding a mallet on top of the wall, "Wha- Kota?!"

"Try being a good person first before being a hero jerkface!" said Kota, swinging the mallet again.

"OW!" said Barry, "You've got the wrong guy! Mineta is the perv, not me!"

"He's not gonna listen to a prude like you." said Mineta.

In response to the words, Barry raised Mineta into range of the mallet.

"AGH! Put me down!" said Mineta, but it was too late.

Kota swung for the fences, bashing Mineta with the mallet until his face swelled up.

"Guh." said Mineta, groaning.

"What's going on out here?!"

Wally stepped into the hot springs, rubbing his eyes, "I was trying to get some sleep, who's screaming."

"Mineta is!" said Barry, holding the battered Mineta up in his arm, "I'm waiting for the girls to leave so I can get out easier."

"How do you get out?" asked Wally, "And why are you up there?"

"Long story, Mineta's a perv." said Barry, "I have to vibrate my molecules so that I can pass through stuff. But if I don't do it right for each object, stuff explodes."

"That sounds really complicated." said Wally, rubbing his eyes, "Why don't you just vibrate individual limbs?"

"I...huh." said Barry, "I don't know why I didn't think of that earlier."

Vibrating one hand, Barry detaches himself from the wall, landing on the ground. Vibrating his second hand, Barry dropped Mineta onto the floor in a heap.

"Wow, I did it!" said Barry, "Without incident too!"

"GAH!"

Barry looked up as Kota tripped, tumbling off the wall.

Oh no!

Before Kota can hit the ground, a gust of wind blows by as Midoriya leaps from the springs, catching him in midair before landing on his feet.

"Holy cow!" said Barry, "Nice catch Midoriya."

"Thanks!" said Midoriya, "Though it looks like he lost his hat."

Barry looked around, scanning the area for the hat, "I don't see it."

"It must have landed on the other side." said Wally, "How're we gonna get it?"

"Let me." said Barry, vibrating only his hand, "I'll just grab it from this side."

Barry walked over to the wall, kneeling down as he stuck his hand through the wall.

"EEP!" said a voice on the other side.

"Sorry!" said Barry, "Just looking for a hat."

"It's about 5 meters to your left!" said another voice.

"Thank you!" said Barry.

Barry moved to the spot, sticking his hand in to grab the hat.

"Heheheh!"

"Huh?" said Barry.

"REVENGE!" shouted Mineta.

Mineta, who had crept up behind Barry, gave him a surprisingly strong shove. On instinct, Barry vibrated his body, trying not to collide with the wall. Unfortunately, he succeeded.

Making it to the other side, Barry stood up, facing the wall, "HA! In your face Mineta, I didn't get hurt!"

"That was never my intention Barry!" said Mineta, "For I have delivered you unto paradise!"

"What do you mean paradi-" Barry stopped mid-sentence, realizing what had happened.

Barry had traveled to the other side, he was in the same area as six nude girls, and the worst part of all.

He wasn't wearing anything.

Barry's entire body heated up as his face grew red while he cursed himself for failing to bring his towel through the wall.

"B-Barry." muttered Mina, "No-one's looking!"

"P-Please don't say anything!" said Barry, who was aware that the ladies were getting a full view of his nude buttocks.

"I'm….Just gonna go." said Barry.

"G-Go already!" said Mina, blushing madly as the rest of the girls remained turned away.

Barry dashed out at super speed, leaving the girls alone.

"Whew." said Mina, still fairly red in the cheeks, "I'm glad that's over."

"Me too." said Toru, "Just one question Mina."

"Yeah?" asked Mina.

"Why didn't you look away?" asked Toru.

"Eh?" said Mina seconds before her entire face lit up, "I-I-I-I didn't look, I wasn't!"

"Pretty sure you were." said Toru.

"I wasn't, I wasn't, I wasn't!" yelped Mina, "AAAAAAAGH!"

Barry took a deep breath, safely out of the hot springs.

"Whew!" said Barry, "Crisis avoided, nobody saw something they would regret."

Barry turned a corner in the hallway, only to come face to face with Pixie-Bob.

The two stared at each other for a moment, processing the sight of each other in awkward silence. Likely due to shock, Barry didn't reactively cover his private parts. Unfortunately, that moment of silence ended when Pixie-Bob unconsciously glanced downward.

"AAAAAAAAAGH!"

"AAAAAAAAAGH!"

I had so much fun writing this chapter, but I'm also afraid it went overboard and it's gonna get banned. Let's hope not!

Reviews:

DCDGojira: I used some of that scene for my scene! If Impulse does make it in, it'll only be for a short arc, though I can't say for sure. You'll have to see for Wally.

Thanks for the feedback!

Jose Ramiro: Thanks for the feedback!

Aztec 13: Thanks for the feedback!

Pruen: That's a great point of criticism, so I'll do my best to explain. Barry is kinda the central speedster in general, he actively generates the speed force so he's more special than the other speedsters. In terms of DC characters, I do admit I have added a lot of them. Wally was a character that readers requested, but like Jay I hope to give him a more natural role. I will say that Blue Beetle will show up later, but only because I made a prior promise to a reader. I won't add any more DC characters outside of Flash characters and even then, if they're not villains they'll be temporary side characters (Impulse for example). The Flash family, (All the speedsters) Isn't really realized in shows like the CW's Flash, but I really love the dynamics between them in the comics. I was hoping to bring some of that here. Anyway, sorry for the wall of text!

Thanks for the feedback!

Next Chapter: The training begins!
