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 and Hal hang out in Barry's' room and discuss Why Hal's in Central City.
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 "Fine, fine. Geez." Reaching out Hal picked the man up with a practiced ease which surprised Barry, "Don't do anything stupid knuckle head." Barry couldn't help but began laughing quietly at the awkward bridal style Hal held the now looking mortified man, and laughed just a bit louder and the weird stance Hal took in walking so he wouldn't drop the guy who began struggling to be put down.
Third Person POV {Two Days Later}
"So…" Barry said sitting against the side of his bed while Hal was laying back on it.
"Yeah," Hal sighed, "I'm leaving tomorrow night."
Barry nodded, "What brought this on? Thought you said you needed a break from Coast City?"
"Something you said, remember about that incident with Captain Cold?"
"Err…" Barry hesitated remembering quite clearly how pissed Hal had gotten when Barry ran off to fight with Snart only texting Hal to say that he went to the station to help out so the Flash could show up, apparently Hal wasn't too happy that he didn't go to the hospital.
"Remember you told me to help that man to get away because he needed my help?"
"Oh," Barry sighed relieved, "Well…yeah. He needed help, so somebody had to help him. I couldn't but I knew you could."
"Oh don't sound so relieved. I'm still pissed you went to the fucking station instead of the hospital!" Hal said calmly his eyes narrowing at the mop of brown hair by the bed, aka Barry, "I'm just wondering….What if…what if something you never expected to happen happened, and now you have this amazing yet terrifying chance to help people, would you?"
Barry didn't answer right away. Instead he stood up and sat on the side of the bed staring down at Hal who stared right on back.
"Hal…Yeah, I would. No matter what it took I would do anything to protect someone."
"But why?" Hal stressed.
"You know…" Barry sighed rubbing the back of his neck which Hal was beginning to realize was a habit, "When I was eleven, I watched my mother get murdered in my own house, and watched as my father was sentenced to life for a crime he didn't commit."
Hal sat up, his eyes wide, "Well…Shit. That's….fuck. Uh, Sorry?"
Barry shook his head waving off Hal's apology, "Don't be. My dad didn't kill my mom. I saw who did, and it wasn't him."
"Did you tell the police?" Hal asked openly staring at Barry like he was a kid enraptured with a story.
"Yeah." Barry scoffed bitterly, "And not a single one of them would believe me, not even Joe, just because I was just some messed up kid who watched his family get torn apart."
"Hmm." Hal hummed, "Well, I don't know what happened that night either, but I believe you."
Barry froze, "You do?"
"Of course, we're friends right? It's my job to believe you."
Smiling Barry decided to get back on topic, "Well….uh… thanks. But, yeah, Joe believes me now, and Eddie too. A couple of days ago? We found the guy who actually killed her, we just don't have a confession from him to get my job out of prison, but yeah. If I had the chance to help others….I'd do it no matter what."
"Want me to try." Hal grinned, "I can beat the shit out of him for you."
"N-No!" Barry laughed, "I'm pretty sure he could beat the shit out of you."
"Excuse you, I'm like fucking superman, nothing can beat me."
"Oh?" Barry raised an eyebrow, "So what, that thing did, and apparently he can die too."
"You just had to go and make this morbid didn't you? You forensics nerd." Hal chuckled shaking his head at Barry who immediately began to defend himself.
Hal just laughed, he unease and worries vanishing, he seemed to be doing that a lot since coming to Central City and meeting Barry.
Yeah this chapter's a bit short, but would you rather long updates with long chapters or short updates with short-ish chapters?
Hope you liked it, and once again I apologize for any OCC-ness between characters!
