Happy Harbor

September 18, 15:23 EDT

Mia stood outside the guy's locker room, debating on where she should go in or not. "I mean this is the guy's locker room, I can't just go in there. On the other hand, Coach Brown's office is in there which is utterly ridiculous. Guess I've got no choice but to go in." She takes a deep breath and walks in.

The guys turned their heads to see Mia walking in and there was mix reactions. Some covered themselves with towels, others flaunt their bodies at her and the rest were stunned to see a girl in the locker room.

"Hey there sweetheart" Sean stops in front of her.

"What do you want?" Mia asked in annoyance.

"Whoa, easy there kitty. There's no need to pull out the claws. I just want to ask you something."

"What?" she spat out.

"I'm just curious when you're ready to get down and dirty" he winks and earns a few cheers from his teammates.

"Pig" "Do you really want to know when I'm ready?" she sweetly asks.

"I'm pretty sure we all do" Sean states and the rest of the players agreed.

"I'll tell you when I'm ready. I'll be ready when you and every single asshole in this locker room actually grow a pair and not act like egocentric, steroid enhanced, testosterone raged pigs who don't give a crap about a girl's feelings. Now if you all excuse me, I need to talk to the coach."

Mia walks around Sean and knocks on the door.

"Come in."

Mia walks in "Hi Coach Brown."

"Chester great to see you. Close the door and have a seat."

"You got it." Before she closed the door, she sees Sean and the rest of the guys and sticks her tongue at them. She closes the door and takes a seat in front of Brown's desk.

"So what's the verdict sir?"

"Amy, you're the best player I've ever seen walk on that field. I would like you to join the football team…"

"Thanks Coach Brown. That means a lot-"

"As our new QB."

"Uh, say what now?"

"I want you as this team's new quarterback."

"B-but why?"

"Because I know that you'll be able to take this team to victory. Now, I know you'll be getting a lot of crap from the boys but I'm guessing you can handle it yourself. So what do you say?"

"Me as QB? I don't think this will work out with the superhero gig. I'm going to have to turn it down" "Thanks for the offer coach but I don't think I can be the team's new quarterback. I'm sorry but I have too much on my plate at the moment."

"How about this? I'll put you on a trial run and see how it goes. If by the end of the week, that you don't want to be part of the team then I'll let the matter drop. So what do you say?" he extends his hand.

"Make it 3 days and you got yourself a deal."

"Deal."

The two shake hands. Brown opens the door and walks out with Mia behind him.

"Alright listen up!" the chatter died down "Amy Chester is our new QB for the time being. You give her the same respect as if she was a guy. If I hear that any one of you had mistreated her in any way, you'll be suspended for the rest of the season. Is that understood?"

"Yes sir, Coach Brown."

"Great. I'll see everyone outside in 10 minutes for practice."

Mia heads to the other side of the locker room and starts changing. "Thank god I'm already wearing a sports bra and shorts." Mia was just about to put her shirt on when Andy came around the corner.

"Hey Amy, I wanted to know if you-" he saw Mia standing there in her gym shorts and sports bra.

"Is he ok?" "Andy did you need something?"

Andy couldn't help but stare at Mia. He takes in every curve and bump on her body.

"I never knew she was so fit. Is that a four pack?" "Um what?"

"Did you need something?" Mia puts her shirt on.

"Oh right. I wanted to know if you want to be workout partners for today's practice."

"Sure. Thanks Andy" she smiles.

"Great. I'll see you out there."

He turns the corner, leaving Mia alone. "Hopefully, today's practice goes without a hitch."

Practice lasted for an hour and everyone was sore from the regime Brown put them through. When they got inside the locker room, Mia took her time to change into her clothes. "And I thought Canary's training was rough. Damn." As soon as she took off her workout shirt, she hears the locker room door being locked.

"That's weird" "Hello? Anyone there? Coach Brown? Ben? Andy?"

"Sorry sweetheart. They're not here" Sean pops out of nowhere.

"What do you want Sean?"

"Me and my buddies just want to talk to you for a bit."

Then Jacob and George appear around the corner.

"Jerks. Can't believe they're about to gang up on me" "So what do you guys want to talk about?"

"We just want to make sure that we're on the same page, that's all" Jacob states.

"And what page is that?"

"The one that says you quit being the QB and transfer it back to my buddy George here" Sean pats George's back.

"What if I say no?" Mia crosses her arms.

"Then we'll just have to teach you a lesson" George states.

Sean and Jacob held Mia in place as George starts punching her. After about 5 minutes, Mia lifts her head and smirks at George.

"Is that all you got? I know you can hit harder than that" Mia spits out some blood.

George growls "Let her go."

Sean and Jacob did and they stood beside George.

"Are you going to quit?"

"No."

"Wrong answer" and all three ganged up on her.

She didn't know how long the beating took but she's had worse. "This is nothing compared to what Ra's did to me." Somewhere in the distance, she hears someone call out her name.

"Amy?"

"Who's that?" when the person got closer to her, she narrows her eyes a little "A-andy?"

He follows her voice and when he found her, he paled. Andy rushes over to her side.

"Amy what happened to you?"

"Heh heh. W-would you believe me if I told you that I slipped?" Mia winces in pain.

"Who did this to you?" Andy asks in a serious tone.

Mia didn't answer.

"Amy, who did this to you?"

She was about to answer when her eyes started going out of focus. Mia felt her body lean forward and could feel her mind slipping into unconsciousness. But before she went under, she faintly heard Andy on his phone.

"911? I need an ambulance at Happy Harbor High School, the boy's locker room. Hurry!"

Gen Hospital

September 18, 18:21 EDT

Mia groans and shifts a little. When she tried getting up, pain shot through her chest and she fell back. "Where am I?" she looks to her left to see Andy reading his textbook beside her. Mia smiles and took the opportunity to look at him.

Andy felt someone was watching him so he looks up to see Mia awake. He puts his book aside and holds her hand.

"Amy, how are you feeling?"

"Like someone was tenderizing me for a BBQ. What happened?"

"You tell me. I was waiting for you outside for 30 minutes and decided to check up on you. I couldn't find you so check around the room. Next thing I hear is you barely saying my name and I followed it to find you covered in cuts, bruises and blood."

"Oh" Mia looks away from him.

Andy sighs "If you won't tell me then maybe you'll tell the guy outside waiting to talk to you."

Mia froze "What guy?"

"His name's Barry Allen, works for CCPD as a forensic guy."

"Thank god it's Barry" "Can you tell him to come in?"

"Sure. I'll be outside if you need me."

"Thanks Andy."

Andy got up from his seat and went to bring Barry in. Barry walks in, closes the door behind him and went straight to her bedside.

"Mia what happened?"

Barry gently touches her face and she flinches back a little. He frowns while she looks away as a few tears trailed down her cheeks.

"What are you doing here Barry?"

"The hospital called me."

"Why you?"

"Iris and I are your emergency contact. Obviously Iris couldn't make it so I'm here instead."

"Oh" she was silent for a few minutes "How bad is it?"

"Multiple lacerations, three cracked ribs, a sprained ankle and a dislocated shoulder. Your lucky that's all you've sustained, it could've been worse. It's a good thing that Andy kid found you. Now are you going to tell me who did this or am I gonna have to get Robin and Wally to get it out of you?"

Mia sighs "Some jerks from the football team decided to teach me a lesson."

"Got any names?"

"I don't want this to be on the local news Barry and I'm not pressing charges against them."

"I can't promise anything Mia. We'll just have to see."

"Fine. It was Sean Mitchel, George Hernandes and Jacob Owens."

"Ok, I'll tell Bats and we'll go from there. For now, you'll be here for at least 2 days and I'll be right by your side" Barry holds her hand.

"But what about your job? Being Flash?" she whispers the last part.

"Don't worry. I took a few personal days off from work and if I'm needed as the Flash then I'll go."

A few tears escaped "Thanks Barry."

"Anything for my second favorite girl" Barry winks.

Mia giggles a little then stops when she felt her ribs flare in pain. "Ow. And I thought laughter was the best cure for pain."

Barry laughs at her really bad joke. "She's meant to be part of my family, even if she's being adopted." Mia smiles a little but it turns into a frown. Barry notices and takes her hand into his.

"Barry, would I have to leave the school?"

He took a minute to respond "That's up to Bats but I think so."

"Do you know when?"

"It might be after you get discharged."

Mia solemnly nods "Can you bring Andy back in for me please?"

"Sure thing kid" he kisses her head then brought Andy in.

Andy walks in smiling but when he saw Mia's sad face, he frowns. He walks right up to her bedside and takes her hand into his.

"Is everything ok Amy?"

She shakes her head "I'm sorry Andy."

"For what?"

"When I get discharged, I'm moving back to Central City."

"Why?"

"My uncle thinks it's not safe for me to stay here."

Andy felt his heart break in two. "No, she can't be leaving so quickly. I need to tell her before she leaves" "Amy, I-"

"Don't" he looks at her "Don't you dare pull that chick flick move where the guy finally decides to tell the girl he's had a crush on for a while how he truly feels because he doesn't know when he's next chance is. I swear Andy, if you p-pull th-that on me, I-I won't forgive y-you" Mia starts crying.

Andy smiles sadly "Sorry Amy but it's going to happen. It's true, I don't know when I'll get the chance to tell you so I'm taking it now. Amy, you're an amazing girl. When I first saw you on the first day of school struggling to open your locker, I thought that you were cute but when you turned around it felt like time stood still. Your chocolate brown hair pulled behind your ears, showing your gorgeous face made me stop breathing but it was your eyes that made my heart stop. I thought 'She's the most beautiful girl I've ever seen but there seems to be more behind those eyes of hers. I have to get to know her' and when I saw you again in art class, I couldn't believe my luck. Soon the interest turned into a small crush which turned into a huge crush. I haven't stopped thinking about you and I don't think I'll ever will. Amy" he gently cups her face and wipes away a stray tear "I love you."

Mia chokes on her sobs and shuts her eyes tight. "Why did he have to go and do that? Jerk." She continues to cry but stops when she felt Andy leaning in. Mia opens her eyes to see Andy's eyes filled with love and sadness. Both leaned in and when their lips touched, Mia was crying again. Andy breaks away first and touches her forehead with his.

"Bye Amy" he kisses her one last time on the lips and leaves.

When Barry walked back in, Mia bursts into tears and Barry consoles her.

"It'll be alright Mia. You'll find a nice guy like Andy someday."

Mia continues to cry in Barry's arms. "There's never going to be someone like Andy."
