Hello! Thank you Cory, Red Tigress, and B Oots, For Reviewing. Flash is my Fav. Character and he didn't have ANY fanfics so I had to make one! I designed Natalie's car after my dream car, and made her look a bit like me, well in the eyes. Well on to the next chapter!!!!

~Danger?~

"Help me up, please." She asked in a tired voice. He gently lifted her to her feet. She then lifted her shirt up to the rib lines, to show him the fresh dark purple, yellow bruises forming on her ribcage. He went to touch them but didn't and drew his hand back. Then he stood up and faced her, even though he was four inches taller, his face held a blankness, but his eyes were full of anger. "Who did this to you?" He asked, his voice held the same anger that his eyes were filled with, it also had demand. She put her shirt down and smoothed it out. "Shhhh . . . . You'll wake everyone up." She told him.

She then took him to his room where they sat down on the bed. "I got into a fight, okay. Just a stupid fight. Nothing to worry about. I'll be fine, a few days and they'll fade and I'll be better." She said. "It was just a stupid fight." She whispered to herself. Flash scooted closer to her and put his arm around her. He tilted up her chin for her to look at him and then put his hand back on the bed. "Who did it?" He asked. He looked into her eyes. "I don't know, it was a man, he was after one of my friends looking for me, I got them out and then he came after me." Natalie said. "I don't know why though. He just did." She then looked down at her lap. "I got out and drove away, as fast as I could, they didn't have time to follow me." She said.

He hugged her; she yawned and rested her head on his shoulder. He let her go from the hug. "I think we should go to bed." She said. Flash grinned. "WE?" he asked. She slapped him smiling. "No!" Then she hugged him goodnight and walked out of his room down the hall to her room and closed the door. Flash got into his jimmies, red boxers and a white t-shirt, while Natalie got ready in her room. When she was done, her bedroom door opened for airflow. He got up and went to her room. He then stared into the darkness, even though he couldn't see her. He knocked on the door frame. "Yes?" A voice said in the darkness. "Natalie, can I have another hug." Flash asked. Natalie laughed.

"Sure." She padded over the carpet to the doorway and gave him a big hug. He missed her so much, this moment was just enough. No perverted ness, no teasing, just like this, embracing Natalie. Then she let him go. Flash looked at her and then grinned. He set his chin on his fist like he was thinking and tilted his head sideways. "Hmmmm. .." He said nodding. "What?" Natalie asked. Flash smiled. "Lace, I like it." He said. Then she slapped him one more time, because she was too tired to lecture him, she told him goodnight and sent him to his room. "Goodnight." He said as he walked back.

Then he laid down and soon fell asleep. The next morning Natalie was no where to be found upstairs, then he smelt it! Food! She was up before flash, he'd overslept. Natalie was in the kitchen putting away dishes when he came down. Mrs. Richardson came through the door way. "Good Morning Wally!" She said with a yawn. "Good Morning Mrs. Richardson." He replied. He then sat down at the table and yawned. Almost magically, a cup of Vanilla bean Coffee with extra sugar and cream, showed itself before him, steaming in all of its glory. He looked up to find Natalie, she ruffled his hair. "Wake up." She said. Flash shook his head laughing. "I will but coffee first." He said.

Then she went back to putting away the last of the dishes. "Oh Natalie," Mrs. Richardson said. "Yes Mom?" Natalie asked putting away the last fork. "Can you please go to the store and pick up some milk?" Mrs. Richardson asked. "Alright I'll leave now." She said as she ran up the stairs. Flash finished his coffee and yelled up after her. "I'll come with you!" he yelled. She yelled back down. "Only if you're ready in time!" 'HA!' Flash thought 'No Problem.' He ran up the stairs and got ready surprisingly fast, when he came down Natalie was starting up her car that she'd left parked in the middle of the drive way.

Flash went running down the stairs and then straight out the door to the car that was pulling away. He then opened the door and hopped in to the moving car. "Made it!" He said with a grin. She smiled at him "Always do, don't you?" She asked smiling and shaking her head. Soon they were on the main road. On the way they talked about old times, the camping trips, games, picnics, and get together they had when they were children. They drove into town looking for a good store, they finally found one and they both went in to go buy what they needed. "Let's see . . ." Natalie said scanning the list. "I'll get the noodles, the cheese, and the diner rolls; you can get the milk, bread, and the onions." She said. Mothers always have you get more than what they originally intended.

They each grabbed a little carry 'round basket and went their separate ways. Flash has the milk first and was on his way looking for onions. A few isles down and he found them, then he left to search for bread. Natalie had already found the rolls, the noodles, but was looking for the cheese, she was at the end of one isle as flash passed her on the other end, he smiled and waved to her, she waved back. Finally she found the cheese and was on her way walking to the checkout.

Suddenly two large men stepped out in front of her, she tried to go around but they wouldn't let her, so she quickly turned around and walked as fast as she could to the other end of the isle. They followed her, so she began to run towards the bread isle, one appeared in front of her so she took a sharp turn towards and isle and made it, the man soon stopped and began to chase after her down the isle. She then saw him disappear and made her way to check out, nearly bumping into flash. She was breathing hard, it was a lucky thing their wasn't many people in the store, besides her and flash.

She moved in front of flash so they wouldn't see her if they were still looking. "Hey! No cutting." Flash joked. She looked up at him and shook her head firmly, breathing a bit hard. She put her things on the counter and the cashier rung them out. She and flash went out of the front doors. And then she motioned him over to her. "There here." She whispered in his ear, standing on tip toe. Flash glared a backwards glance. Out of the corner of her eye she saw three of them getting closer. "Run." She whispered. Then she ran for her car with flash beside her.

They took out guns and tried to shoot her, flash grabbed her around the waist and kicked his speed up a notch to latterly dodge the bullet. He grabbed the keys from her and jumped into the car once it was unlocked and drove away at the top speed that her car could get to, until they were out of town. She then scooted out of his lap and put their groceries in the backseat. "Are you okay?!?" Flash asked. "I'm Fine, I'm fine." Natalie said as she put on her seat belt, while he steered with his knee and also put on his seat belt. "Thanks Wally." She said shyly. "Huh?" He looked over at her and then back at the road. "For saving me, if you wouldn't of used your power to save me then that bullet would have done a lot more then grazing my arm." She said.

Natalie knew of flashes powers since she was little, when he moved away, he would always visit her when he could. One of the ways he'd come was to run. Since she was one of his only friends back then, he told her, about his gift. She promised to never tell and she hadn't since said a word about it until now. She looked down at her arm; her left hand was clasped over part of her arm like it hurt, when she moved it little amounts of blood trickled down her sleeve. She showed flash the blood. "Damn." Flash said putting his head on the steering wheel and looking up at the road again. "I didn't get to you in time. I got you shot Natalie, and inch and you would have been completely out of harms way. With just one stupid inch!" He looked at her with a sadness and anger, and then he looked back at the road.

HI, well I'm going to stop theirfor now, please read and review, I hope you enjoyed it. Now to see what in the heck is going on, why is everyone after Natalie? I like flash fics. But most of the time you only get to see his perverted ness, but not his considering side. Well please remember to review!
