Phoenix Meet Arrow

I don't own the Flash! Or Arrow!

Barry ran to the abandoned apartment building where the ping from the stolen cash had come from. He got there just in time as a cop shot at Joe. Suddenly Phoenix flew in and knocked the guy back with a gentle blast. As the man fell a net shot from and arrow flew over his head. Barry and Joe sat up and stared.

Phoenix glared and groaned audibly "Seriously man? I had this. You just had to show up and ruin all the fun." She pouted and flew away out the window.

"Nice mask," The Arrow called to Barry and jumped out a trapdoor on the ceiling. Barry grinned.

Barry beat Oliver to Diggle and Felicity by seconds.

"By the way, I gave Oliver like, an half hour head start." He boasted.

"Hi Barry." Felicity waved, drink from Big Belly Burger still in hand.

"Hey, Felicity." Barry smiled "How you doing Dig?" He asked the stunned man.

"You're fast."

"And you're a Master of the obvious!" Called a voice from above. Barry flashed on his mask as Phoenix floated down and landed softly in front of them.

"You're on fire."

"Why thank you Mr. Diggle! You really know how to make a girl feel special." Phoenix giggled.

Barry, deciding to deal with the fiery superhero later, asked "Did you guys not tell him about me?"

"Seeing is believing, or... drooling." Felicity chuckled.

"Ah Felicity Smoak! I've heard so much about you!" Phoenix was hiding her anger at the Arrow with excitement.

Suddenly the Arrow pulled up on his motorcycle and stormed up to the Flash.

"Hey, thanks for showing up back there, but I had that." Barry told him.

"Ha! You mean I had that!" Phoenix laughed.

The Arrow looked at the Flash, then at Phoenix, then back at the Flash before pointing to the female superhero "Who's this?" He asked darkly.

"Name's Phoenix! And you Mr. Queen took my shot at that meta!"

Suddenly an arrow was pointed at her nose. "How do you know my name?!" He growled. Dig, Felicity, and Barry all took a step back.

"Easy with that pal! You might hurt somebody! Relax, I've known for a while. Batman told me."

"You know Batman?!" Diggle and Felicity screamed.

"Yes." The Arrow managed then lowered his bow "How do you know him?"

"Simple! We're friends! We work together." Phoenix was so cheery it made Oliver's head hurt. "Anyway I just came to do this..." and she punched him in the face.

"Ow! What was that for!?" Oliver asked indignantly.

"A few things. First you almost took my head off the last time I was in Starling, and second that shot you took tonight nearly killed that Meta." Phoenix scolded him "Now I do need to get going, I have a life and even superheroes need sleep! Ta-ta!" And she flew off into the night.

"She's on fire."

"I know Dig." Barry and Oliver sighed together.

As Bella got ready for her first day back at work since the "incident" she smiled. She knew Oliver Queen was in town and she knew she'd meet him probably today. She was happy she'd punched him, he'd most likely have a nasty bruise.

She pulled on a blue and white dress with a red sweater, red earrings, red high heels, and a black purse.

She looked in the mirror, grinned, and headed to work.

She was working for maybe and hour before Barry walked in and sat down with Felicity and Oliver.

Smiling Bella brought them their coffee. "Hi Barry!" She gave him a kiss on the cheek "How you doing big brother?"

"Big brother?" Oliver asked "This? She's your sister?"

"Yeah," Bella said "Did he not tell you about me either?"

Barry stuttered in shock.

"Oh relax Barry I'm not mad. And we both know Cisco can't keep his mouth shut around a pretty girl." She stuck out her hand "Bella Allen, nice to meet you." Oliver shook her hand firmly, noting her slight flinch at the contact, "And of course Felicity and I met the other day."

Felicity smiled awkwardly and gave a little wave "Hi..."

"I get off in about half an hour but my boss is on me about missing so much work since..." she trailed off and the blood drained from her face fo a moment then she shook her head and her cheeks regained their color "Anyway I'll see you around Barry, Felicity, Mr. Queen!" And she went off to her next table.

"What the hell Barry?" Oliver exploded as quietly as he could "Come on." And he dragged him out of the coffee house.

Oliver told Barry the name he had gotten and Felicity had roped him into helping more with the case. He wasn't happy. Not to mention that Batman had told this girl his secret identity. They'd only met a few times and he still didn't know the Bat's real name.

Now he was waiting for Barry to arrive for the training he had planned. He had picked a secluded old warehouse, he knew Barry was going to get shot at least twice in this training session and he decided that he would rather not deal with Barry's foster dad and Harrison Wells and their disapproval of his teachings.

Barry soon arrived and was, as he predicted, shot in the back on the first try. He rolled his eyes. He had his work cut out for him.

Phoenix was flying over the city trying to clear her head. Ever since she had met Oliver Queen she was on edge, the memories of a large, strong man hit her hard and she nearly fell out of the sky. Catching herself she noticed the Flash running along below her. Bored and in need of a distraction she followed him.

Roy G. Bivalo. That's who the Flash has found. Fabulous. He fought for a few seconds before knocking Bivalo's sunglasses to the floor.

"Have some real anger." He growled and his eyes flashed red. At the same time the Flash's eyes turned red too. And Bivalo escaped while Phoenix was distracted by worry about the Flash.

She followed him back to STAR labs and once she was sure he was safe inside she went on her way, deciding to search for Bivalo herself.

Bella called Barry and they decided to meet at Jitters again to talk, she had a funny feeling in her stomach that told her something was really wrong with her brother.

When Barry walked in and saw her he smiled and came over. She had already ordered for herself and the waitress came to take her brother's order.

"Barry is everything okay?" Bella asked.

"Yeah sure. Why?" Barry was nervous, never a good sign and since he got whammied by Bivalo it was especially bad news.

"I just have a feeling. Do you have something to tell me? Something you want to talk about? Anything?"

"You know what?" Barry was mad, it was ridiculous he didn't have a reason to be, "Yeah I do have some things to say to you, little sister. You come back after all these years of virtually no contact and you act like everything's okay. Well it's not." Oliver, Felicity, Caitlin, Cisco, Joe, and Iris walked in "You were back here for what three days? Four? And you got yourself kidnapped and raped!"

"Barry!" Iris and Joe yelled.

"No stay out of it! This is between me and my sister! You shouldn't have come back! Why don't you just go back to Gotham and Bruce Wayne and his fancy butler and get the hell out of my life!" He screamed, drawing quite a bit of attention.

"Barry, please-" Bella pleaded but was cut off by a slap to the face by her older brother. She fell back into the chair she had been sitting in and stared. Joe rushed over and tried to grab Barry but he walked out, Iris stayed with Bella and hugged her, Oliver and Felicity stood there awkwardly.

Soon Iris took Bella home and left her there to rest. But she couldn't sleep. Her brother, who she loved and adored, had outed her secret to everyone in Jitters, including his friends. How dare he. Hours passed and Bella curled up, crying and fell into a restless sleep, plagued by dreams of elementary school, bullies, and her brother.
