Chapter 1- Central City.
The sun beautifully shone across the skyscrapers, the surrounding noise of traffic, people and slight wind matched in perfect harmony. This, This was home to the city of the impossible. Meta-humans. People with impossible powers that defy all known knowledge of mankind. One with power that control the weather, one with power to touch any item and it'll explode and one with power of superspeed. Central City was the city exposed to the particle accelerator created from Star Labs incident, Since then the city has been adjusted to the news of meta-humans everywhere, but mostly because they know that their beloved hero of Central City, The Flash, will protect them.
But when you're the fastest man alive on a slow day, it, well can be very daunting. All that energy coursing through his body, the feeling of the wind as he runs through the street, the feeling of saving everybody in a flash. And yet, here he was. Sitting in Star Labs looking at the monitors for any sign of activity to do as The Flash. He sighed and took a sip of coffee. He leaned back in his chair facing away from the monitor in front of him. A sudden faint footsteps grew louder with purpose.
"Barry! Oh. There you are, have you been sitting there all this time?" asked the blonde doctor curiously.
"Yes." Barry sheepishly replied knowing Caitlyn Snow was going to yell at him for being too engulfed in being The Flash ever since stopping Devoe, The Thinker and mentoring his future daughter to pursue in being a superhero just like him.
"Oh Barry Allen. Argh. it's slightly unhealthy to keep doing this again and again, go and take a break from being the Flash and spend time with iris."
"Bu-"
"No buts! I'm your doctor, and I prescribe that you, as fast as you are, take a break. Anyway, have you heard that Oliver is heading to Central City?"
"He is?" questioned Barry.
"Gee, for someone as fast as you are, you're slow with the news" Caitlyn scoffed and walked over to the monitor and pressed some keys and it displayed a news channel.
"Oliver Queen, Mayor of Star City is expected to attend a meeting in Central City with scientists and officials alike to talk about ways to prevent global warming in both cities. It is the highly anticipated event that Mayor Queen will participate in, that if he shows up at all." spoke the newswoman.
"Wow, he is coming here." Barry said surprisingly. "Oliver sure has changed, didn't think he would ever become Mayor when I first met him."
"Times change, we all changed because of each other, and that's a good thing because otherwise we would be stuck in one place, never finding a way to move on from our old selves.." she softly spoke
Barry and Caitlyn looked at each other and nodded. A sudden alert blared on the screen which caused them both to scramble at the monitor. "Robbery at Central City Museum! Go!" yelled Caitlyn. Barry sped to his alter ego suit, and dashed out of Star Labs at high speed towards the city streets. Barry was full of energy, the wind breezing through his suit, his eyes locked on the road speeding through cars, bikes and busses.
A few seconds later, he was inside the museum. His eyes scouring the place fast enough and eventually spotted two masked robbers stealing a precious artifact. "Guys? Really? In the middle of daylight?" The Flash spoke to them that alerted the two masked robbers. What Barry almost failed to see at the last minute is that these robbers had guns and they fired at him.
The Flash sped around to avoid the hurtling bullets towards him, and then ran in circles to confuse the duo robbers.
"It's the Flash! Damn it!" Yelled the angry robber still firing the gun all over the place.
"Mike we gotta go! Mike! Mike?" The once angry robber stopped firing his gun and find his partner knocked out cold to the ground. "You speeding freak" he yelled and turned around where the Flash appeared and knocked him out before the robber could register what happened in his mind.
"Caitlyn. Is the police are on their way? I have two presents for them."
"They're on their way and you need to get back to take a break. Doctor's order."
"Fine. I needed to meet up with iris at jitters anyway." The Flash sped off to star labs and a couple mins later, sirens could be heard coming closer to Central City Museum.
"I take it you're going to meet with iris?" questioned Caitlyn.
"Yes, iris wanted me to meet up with her and Nora. A little family time, that sounds weird to say considering Nora is my future daughter huh." He responded back. "By the way where is Cisco?"
"Cisco is at the workshop, building something." she replied back.
"Oh alright. Well. See you later." Barry then dashed out of Star-Labs in a flash. He then stood on the door of CC Jitters and swung the door open to find people filled the room, waitresses grabbing people orders, people were talking with others and a TV blaring in the background. Barry eyed around the room to find Iris West Allen.
"Oh Barry! Over here" caught his attention. He looked over and find Iris and Nora sitting in the far corner. He smiled and walked over. "Hey guys, sorry it took me so long, had to stop two robbers at Central City Museum."
"Wait what dad? Why didn't you call me?" responded the voice of Nora West-Allen. His daughter from the future. Truthfully for Barry, being around her since she first revealed herself to Team Flash, he felt weird knowing that this is his daughter and the more he spends time with her he could feel that they were a true family but he doesn't really wants to believe it's real after everything he has been through. Flashpoint, facing off the Reverse Flash and so on. But he decided to let his feelings take over and believed her.
"Hey Nora, I'm sorry. It was just a quick and easy thing to do at the time. Anyway. We're here spending time together now, I'll take you on the next one." Barry replied back cautiously to ensure that she'll be okay with the response given.
"Okay Dad. I'll go order us some coffee" she got up and walked over to the bar.
"Sounds like you've been spending time with her." Iris spoke. "I still can't believe she's our daughter and has your speed. Now I have two people to worry about."
Barry smiled. "Hey iris. We'll be fine. She's getting the hang of her speed during training. Eventually, who knows, she might be better than The Flash."
"I know." Iris smiled back "guess I'm lucky to have you after everything we've been through."
Nora walked back over to their table holding three coffee on a tray. "Here you go dad, one coffee of the Flash."
"Still can't believe they named a coffee after me." Barry said in disbelief.
"Or me. A coffee called XS." Nora smiled at the thought of having her own coffee named after her.
"Hey, did you hear that Oliver is heading to Central City soon?" questioned iris.
"It seems everyone but me heard it before I did. Yes." Barry responded back.
"Are you going to catch up with him?"
"Maybe. Depends if he wants me to." Said Barry.
"Go call him later. I'm sure he'll be delighted to see you."
"Alright I will, so Nora are you up for training later on today?"
"Sorry dad, promised mom that I'd spend the way with her, but I'll be available if an emergency arises." Nora replied sadly.
"It's okay. Have fun. I gotta go to CCPD and catch up with Joe or I'll get scolded for being late." Barry got up, took his coffee with him and exited Jitters. He looked at his watch and realised he had 15 mins to be there. But being the fastest man alive, he could get there in less than a second so he just took a slow casual walk, taking in the surroundings as he sipped his coffee.
The street he walked on was alive with people stumbling away to their destination, vehicles roaming their way across the road, with some halted by traffic light. He could hear kids laugher in the distance as he walked onward.
'I could get used to this.' Barry thought.
A vibration emitting from his pocket caused Barry to reach in and grab it. The item he held contained a display that read 'Oliver Queen is calling.' His fingers pressed a button and he held it close to his ear.
"Oliver! Hey! How are you?" Barry said surprisingly as he wasn't expecting his friend to call him at this time.
"Hey Barry, I'm doing good, thank you for asking. How about you?" Oliver replied back happily.
"I'm doing good too, I'm just on my way to CCPD."
"That's great to hear. Barry I'm sure you heard the news about me heading to Central City to meet up with a bunch of scientists and some officials right?"
"Yes, I was a little surprised." Replied Barry.
"heh. Science was never my strong suit. But anyway. Barry. I kinda need your help later on. That is why I'm calling."
"Help? What kind of help?"
"The kind of preventing an assasination by the Triad help." Oliver bluntly said.
"Oh Oliver.. Don't tell me."
"Yep. They're assassinating me and I can't go as the other guy on this. Felicity thinks that they'll try to disrupt the meeting in central city. But that shouldn't be a problem for our speedster right?" Oliver said hopefully as to not edge him away.
"Fine Ollie. I'll help, when is the meeting taking place? I'm a little slow on the news." Barry said dumbfoundedly.
"Great, thank you. it's taking place this afternoon at what was known as stagg industry headquarters that has been renovated for scientists. I'll see you there." Oliver hung up the phone.
Barry gulped all of his coffee and threw it at a nearby bin. 'Better go tell Joe about this.' Barry sped away in a blink of an eye to CCPD.
'Hope Joe is prepared for this.'
