Batman VS Superman: The Recruitments
I DO NOT OWN Batman VS Superman, Nor do I own The Flash which this is a crossover with.
ORIGIONAL SUMMARY: All the events of Batman VS Superman had taken place only instead of the Flash's face being shown as Wonder Woman watches the screen, The Flash never turns and his face/Identity is unknown. WITH some changes to the Flash TV's shows timeline!
Chapter Summary: Barry is showing Hal around Central City and decides to take Hal to Jitter's and it's there they have a run-in with some friends of Barry's.
PLEASE READ: In order for this story to work, there will be the equivalent of a weeks' time between Episodes 22 and 23 of the Flash.
AUTHOR'S NOTE: For the TV show the Arrow, I messed with the timeline a bit where Oliver is already back with team Arrow, and has been for a while now.
BTW, I'm sorry for all too any OCC-ness with any of the characters.
Last Time
"Oh," Hal laughed, "We're going to be best friends. "
Still laughing Hal chased after Barry, leaving Eddie to stare at both of them.
"What just happened?" Joe walked down the hall, barely managing not to have his coffee knocked over by Barry and Hal, and asked Eddie confused.
"Uhh…" Eddie blinked, "According to Hal…him and Barry are 'Best Friends' now…."
Third Person POV
"So where is this place?"
Barry mentally rolled his eyes, that was the eighth time in the past three minutes Hal asked him that, "Jitters is just across the street, come on."
"You said that like, two blocks ago!" Hal exclaimed stopping and crossing his arms across his chest, "Are we lost? Did you get lost in your own damn city? Cause that's just sad, okay."
"Hal one? Shut-up. Two? Look up."
Hal did look up and realized there was a café across the street with the sign…..Jitters.
"Oh."
"Idiot." Barry snorted already walking across the street.
"Hey!" Hal squawked, "I heard that! Don't think I didn't!"
Barry laughed now running into Jitters away from Hal's yells, not noticing the man in front of him until he had already run into them.
"Crap!" Barry backed up, "I'm sorry! Are you okay?"
"I'm fine. Might've hurt If you were going 75 miles an hour though."
Barry's head snapped up to look at the man, "Oliver!" Barry said surprised. What was Oliver doing in Central City. Only something seemed different about him…..
"You're staring." Oliver said, his eyes flickering briefly over his shoulder behind him.
Barry noticed and shifted around to try and discreetly look behind Oliver, not so discreetly in Oliver's opinion, and couldn't deny he was pleasantly surprised to see Felicity sitting with Diggle in the back corner. He heard a bit about the trouble they've had over in Starling city, but hadn't really had time to go see them or talk to them really.
"Barry."
"Huh? Oh! Sorry about that." Barry stood back up smiling, his hand reaching to scratch the back of his neck, "It's just well….you seem…happy, I'm glad."
Oliver smiled slightly chuckling, "Well….yeah. I guess I am."
"Oh! Barry," Felicity and Diggle were both walking towards the both of them.
"Hey Felicity," Barry grinned hugging her and then shaking Diggle's hand.
"How're you guys doing?" Barry asked, "I know it's been a while, but what're you guys doing here?"
Oliver raised an eyebrow, "What? We can't come visit?"
"No! I didn't mean it like th-" Barry was cut off as an arm wrapped around his neck and another began digging into his head.
"What the hell? You're not supposed to go running off on me like that!"
"Gah!" Barry flailed his arm out trying not to fall over, but just as suddenly the extra weight was gone.
Looking back up Barry saw Oliver holding Hal in a chokehold and Felicity was right by his side with a hand on his shoulder, Diggle was standing next to Oliver and the struggling Hal.
"Barry? Are you okay?" Felicity whispered her glare never leaving Hal.
"Shit." Barry muttered wincing at the look Felicity gave him, he forgot he tried not to curse at all in front of his friends or Joe and Iris for that matter, Barry quickly walked towards Diggle who was now the one holding Hal who now had a forming black eye, and Oliver who was sporting a bloody nose, "Okay all of you stop! Hal go limp and drop."
Just as he had finished speaking, Hal did exactly as Barry said and was out of Diggle's hold in a matter of seconds.
"Geez Barry, you sure have polite company." Hal snorted, rubbing his eye.
"What you two know each other?" Felicity gaped.
"Err…" Barry bit his lip, "Well, yeah. Hal's staying with me for a bit. "
"Yeah. Mind letting go now?" Hal asked irritably, realizing that his arm was grabbed once again.
Oliver glared at Hal, but nodded to Diggle to let him go. Which he did causing Hal to fall to the floor with a very manly yelp.
Barry chuckled, "You alright there princess?"
Hal flailed his arms out dramatically and sighed loudly, "Woe is me, attacked by trolls and my knight in shining armor has yet to come to my rescue!"
Oliver looked a bit disturbed while Diggle was shaking his head and Felicity was smiling widely.
"Ah," Barry nodded, "My apologies dear princess Hal!" Barry leaned over a nearby table and grabbed a fake rose from one of the vases, "Tis' a shame you are already six feet under." Barry threw the rose down onto Hal's chest.
Hal immediately sat up and snorted, "Well that was morbid as fuck."
"Exactly," Barry smirked remembering all Hal had told him about his romance skills, "Suits your romance life, doesn't it?"
"Asshole." Hal threw the rose at Barry's head.
"Ummm….." Felicity started to say but trailed off when both Barry and Hal turned towards her.
"What's up sweet-cheeks?" Hal grinned winking at Felicity.
"Don't call her that." Oliver frowned his glare returning full force.
"She's his, back off unless you want him to kill you." Barry whispered in Hal's ear with him nodding in agreement.
"Ah, never mind. Anyway! Bar here still has to show me around soooooo," Hal slid around Oliver and the others with them turning to watch his movements, "We're going to get going, nice meeting a couple of crazies and a young lady though, bye!"
Hal grabbed Barry's wrist and yanked him away from the others and towards the door with Barry laughing at Hal's reaction.
"Uh, bye you guys I'll see you later?!" Barry called out before Hal pulled him out of Jitters and down the sidewalk, Barry was just glad Hal didn't try running them across the street.
"Geez, are all your friends like that?" Hal muttered rubbing his neck where Oliver and then Diggle had held him in a headlock.
"No, just the really protective ones…" Barry paused in thought, "Actually, yeah all of them."
Hal grinned, "Maybe it's because you look and act more like a hyper-active puppy, than you do an adult." Hal reached up and ruffled Barry's hair.
"Like you have any room to talk!" Barry gaped, "You're like a rebellious teenager!"
All Barry got in response was Hal's laughter.
