A Brand New Light
Chapter 10: A Brand New Psycho Speedster
If you asked Hal what he would have expected this morning, seeing Carol was not anywhere on the list.
"Imagine my surprise to see you here, I was just on vacation for some R&R and here I find you and with Bruce Wayne and Oliver Queen of all people. I guess you really can't help being the whore you are. Once a porn star always a porn star I suppose." Carol hid her laugh behind her hand and Hal's face paled incredibly. His whole world just bottomed out and he looked down into his lap, he couldn't, wouldn't, look at anyone in the face. His dirty secret was out for everyone to know. Barry growled, a sound resounding deep in his throat, this meant blood.
"Carol was it?" Barry stood up and circled to Hal's side opposite of Carol.
"Yeah, and who are you, Fatty?" Bruce grinned and hid a very amused grin behind his hand, if there was ever a time he smelled blood in the water, it was now. Blood in the water and Barry was looking to feed. Kal felt a bead of sweat roll down his temple, he was one of the strongest men on the Earth, and even he was scared of the look in Barry's eyes.
"Fatty? Well I suppose that's better than looking like you, a frigid, constipated bitch." Wally ducked his head and bit his lip while the other speedsters chuckled. Barry usually never swore, only when he was suuuuuuuuuuuuuuper angry, like now for instance. She scowled at Barry before her face smoothed back out.
"Oh, I guess I am the only mature one, for I don't stoop to petty insults." Barry's left eye developed a twitch.
"No, just blabbing someone's deepest darkest secrets is your style. Seriously how did you get into a family resort? They keep the sex deviants outside with the other lowlifes." Carol and Barry glared over Hal's head.
"At least I look good." Carol snorted and crossed her arms. Barry's eyes narrowed further and his jaw set.
"I'll be right back, I am feeling a change of clothes is necessary." Barry grabbed a duffel bag that he had brought with him and went into the men's restroom. Hal watched Barry disappear with a mix of confusion and dispair. He didn't want to be left with Carol, Barry would be the only one that would stand up against her. Bruce raised an eyebrow, this was getting very interesting and he couldn't wait to see what Barry had up his fitted red sleeves. The kids were silent and contemplating.
"Excuse me, Mr. Jordan, is what that woman said true?" Kaldur asked the brunet man. Hal hesitantly looked at the Atlantian teen and opened his mouth, more willing to confirm it with the nonjudgmental look the teen had.
"What does it matter? The past is the past for a reason. I am sure whatever reason drove him to that kind of thing was a valid one. Besides it's not like he is like that now." Conner said jumping to Hal's defense.
"How cute and naive you are." Carol sneered at the boy and Hal stood to his feet and glared at her, courage bolstered by Conner's defense.
"Watch your tongue when you speak to my son." He glared at the woman with a venom he didn't know he possessed.
"Oh please, he couldn't be your son, you never could have had the stomach to knock up a woman without messing it up." Carol tittered as she looked up and down Hal's figure. "You can't even do anything in bed with me without me having to force you or hold your hand." Dinah got up at that admission. How dare that wretch force Hal do to something sexual. That was an abominable thing to do and she would see the injustice righten with her own two hands.
"Maybe he needs someone actually complainant or you know sexually pleasing, or someone to actually think of him." An annoyed voice came from behind them and Hal turned around. Hal's jaw dropped and he couldn't believe what he was looking at, and he loved every single bit of it. There Barry was dressed in an abbreviated corset with no sleeves done in green and accented with red lace, black jeans with the left leg missing, red heels strapped around his thin ankles. And his skin was littered with tattoos. His left arm had five different Flash symbols, on his shoulder was a bat with three different robins, on the opposite shoulder were two different 'S' shields, one done in red in blue, the other in black and red. On his thigh was a black canary with a green arrow in it's beak and a Cheshire cat wound around his calf with a red arrow in it's paws. Barry's blond hair was ruffled up sexily, like he just rolled out of bed from a few rounds of love making. Carol looked at him with an open mouth. Barry stepped forward and put himself in between Hal and Carol and Hal collapsed back into his chair. Right above Barry's perfectly encased ass was a Green Lantern symbol with decorative swirls of green that occasionally formed hearts wrapping around his waist.
"Holy shit, that's so hot." Hal whispered without taking his eyes away from his symbol on Barry's lightly sun kissed skin.
"God do sluts attract one another?"
"Are you always jealous of everyone that is hotter than you? I mean come on, it's obvious that you are no match for me. Never will be, and you will never harm my wonderful Hal again. If you so come near him again I will beat your ass in so badly even the police won't be able to identify you." He stepped so close to her that she had to back away.
"Whatever, it's not like that little whore is worth anything." Barry glared at her before reeling back and hitting her in the eye with a left hook.
"He's worth a hell of a lot to me." A waiter rushed over and asked what was happening. Barry apologized and held out to the waiter what Hal recognized as Carol's thong and promptly told the waiter that the woman had dropped it in his son's food. He apologized for losing his temper and the waiter shook his head and glared down at the woman who was looking at them in shock. The waiter called over security and Carol was escorted out, while the waiter grabbed some napkins and grabbed the thong away from Barry and walked away while calling to servers to replace there meal. Barry grinned as he waved goodbye to the protesting woman. He went back around the table and sat down.
"What was that all about?" Oliver asked with a smirk, already knowing at least half of the answer that the Scarlet Speedster was willing to admit.
"She called me fat." He said simply and grabbed Hal's hand under the table. Hal squeezed it and smiled.
"All that because she called you fat?" Artemis asked the blond.
"The last person who even suggested that Barry was fat was Guy Gardner. He ended up trading in his Lantern suit in for a pink tutu and had to do the Hammer Dance anytime someone said 'Hammer Time' for a week." Dinah said as she retook her seat. Zatanna had to giggle at the image that created. Barry just sipped at his water disinterested.
"I bet he didn't care for the bad mouthing of his favorite super hero either." Jay said with a mischievous smirk. Barry casted him a cool look at his mentor and Jay only smirked in return.
"Wow, psycho much." Artemis grumbled into her cup, both Kal and Conner frowning as their sensitive hearing picked that up. Jade however was looking down at Barry's leg under the table. She knew that the tattoos were symbols of all the heroes that the man considered family. What shocked her so much was that her symbol of the Cheshire cat was already written on his skin with bold colors, meaning that it had been added recently unlike that of the red arrow that the cat had in it's paws.
"Do you like it?" Barry asked her softly and she jerked back. She was blushing lightly, something only Roy had been able to do to her since she had met him.
"Why? You don't even know if I am going to stay good." She spoke softly and she felt Roy's hand on her thigh.
"I have a good feeling about you, plus you keep Roy on the straight and narrow." Barry chuckled and Roy frowned. He didn't think that he had changed that much.

Author note: sorry for not posting but between the writer's block and the crazy home life, I haven't felt like writing much. I will post when I can but I really do love reviews, kinda gives me motivation. Don't feel like it's a requirement though. Also I will be doing a mini series for this series, however I would like it if my readers would message me a word beginning with a letter of the alphabet. I will write a small story on that word and incorporate it into the small story. I figured this would be a good way to get the creative juices flowing and do a bit of filling in for the time skip I did.
