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!
PLEASE READ: Season One of the Flash Timeline has passed! Season two won't show up right away and will be almost completely AU.
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.
Chapter Summary: Hal just finishes his phone call with Barry, god was he glad that idiot was okay, and now has to deal with his new curious 'Teammates'
Last Time
"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.
Third Person P.O.V {Change of Scene from Last Chapter}
Looking up at the ceiling Hal groaned. This was honestly the most bored he's been since his brothers use to go on and on about their day at the dinner table, though that hasn't happened in a while. Ever since going back to Coast City things seemed to have once again changed. He barely stepped foot into his apartment when the goddamn Batman and that chick that fought with him and Superman where standing In the middle of his apartment.
Which if anyone asked he did not scream like a little girl.
After close to six looooooooooooong hours, Batman and the chick, she said to call her Wonder Woman, finally got around to telling him why they decided to break into his apartment and wait there for him. Which in Hal's opinion was creepy on all sorts of levels. Apparently, they wanted him to come work with them and other...heroes, Hal was tempted to say no and that he preferred to work alone but then he remembered his and Barry's talk almost three no four hours ago. So Hal said yes all thanks to Barry, Hal wanted to tell Barry so the moment the two stalker heroes left Hal called him. Only Barry didn't answer, not once even though Hal called him back to back. It wasn't until the next day did Hal realize why.
He was just sitting at home watching TV, and bored out of his mind. After calling Barry once more only to get sent straight to voice mail did Hal decide he might as well spend the day relaxing, after all there was no danger happening in Coast City, non of the other Lanterns had tried contacting him and neither did Batman or Wonder Woman. It was only out of pure curiosity and boredom that he turned on Central City's news channel, and saw what had happened yesterday not even an full hour after he left. Hal's first reaction was to sit there numbly watching the news report, his second reaction was to call, face-time, and message Barry legibly back to back for the next few hours, then he spent the rest of the day using his emergency calls to Barry's number than switching back to regular calls and messages.
Now here he was two weeks later stuck in some type of hero meeting, with no news on Barry or any of the others (since he had only gotten Barry's phone number), Everyday since he found out what happened Hal would call and message Barry repeatedly. Even after learning what had happened in Central City Hal had flown over and had Green Lantern assist in any to all clean up. There was so much destroyed property and surprisingly only a small bit of injured civilians mostly because they were either in the buildings as they seemingly flew up into the air or they were trapped under the rubble as it fell back down to earth after apparently the city's hero, The Flash, had gone into the black hole thing in the sky and did something to destroy it. Crime in Central seemed to have frozen since than once people began to realize that the Flash didn't Come back out. What hit Hal was that not once was there any news on Barry, and he couldn't exactly just stick around when the clean up ended a week and a half later, besides he wasn't needed with helping protect Central with the slowed to practically stopped crime and the Green Arrow, the Fire dude and a few others Hal had the displeasure of meeting. Apparently they weren't to pleased with him being there, it was only after he yelled at them that he was only there helping so he could find a friend did they calm down, and it was once he accidentally said Barry's name did they leave him alone all together and seemed to actually try avoiding him, later that same day Hal left Central but that didn't stop him from Calling, messaging or doing anything to try and contact Barry.
Sighing Hal watched as Batman droned on and on about something and blindly pulling his cellphone out of his suit once it vibrated.
Hey. –Barry
Jumping to his feet and Clearly startling the others Hal quickly searched through his contacts and hit call.
"…Hey Hal." Barry's voice sounded through the phone and dear god did it make Hal want to go fly over to Central City and beat the living shit out of Barry for how completely normal and fine he sounded.
"HEY?! ARE YOU FUCKING SHITTING ME RIGHT NOW?! TWO WEEKS I HAVEN'T HEARD JACK SHIT FROM YOU!" Hal all but snarled into his phone.
"Yeah, I know. I'm Sorry. Things have been a bit crazy lately."
"Jordan. Off the phone now." Batman glared gritting his teeth together harshly. Hal would've cheered at having annoyed the Bat if it wasn't that his not so dead friend was on the phone, so instead Hal glared right back at him.
"We are in the middle of a meeting, perhaps your friend could call you back another time?" Wonder Woman asked politely but Hal could tell she was annoyed, it seemed if anything wasn't as strict as they wanted then those two were always getting annoyed. So Hal rolled his eyes and strolled past Cyborg who looked as bored as Hal felt earlier, and slammed the 'Meeting room' doors behind him.
"Are you busy? I can call back later." Barry said Hal had shut the doors.
"No those guys can fucking wait." Hal took a deep breath, prepared to go on a full blown rant, "And no shit Sherlock, I saw that black hole thingy that happened on the news, I thought you died!"
"Yeah you aren't the only one…"
"What the hell is that supposed to mean?!" Hal stared wide-eyed at the wall having froze thus stopping his pacing back and forth down the hallway.
"I….er…" Hal not so patiently waited for Barry to continue, "I took a vacation from my job, but then that fiasco happened, I got hurt and couldn't exactly contact anyone. Everyone thought I was dead, so yeah….you weren't alone on that thought."
"….Are you still hurt?" Hal asked shutting his eyes hoping it wasn't anything too bad that Barry couldn't heal from.
"Not really? I mean physically I feel fine, a bit hungry, starving actually, but fine."
Hal's eyes immediately snapped open and glared at the wall. "What do you mean 'physically'? Something wrong up top?"
"No you jerk, I didn't mean it like that, and I'm just a bit disoriented. And…."
"And?" Hal pushed gently, needing to know yet not wanting to piss Barry off to where he'd hang up.
"I'm not sure any of this is real."
...That...That Hal had absolutely no idea how to respond.
"….."
"….."
"Bar-" Hal began slowly but was quickly cut off.
"I'm not mental Hal, while I was…out….It was like I…dreamt…up another earth, and it freaked me out because it all seemed so real. And what was even weirder was that other world me was married- to Iris! And she was a detective not Joe! Hell, I didn't even know Caitlin or Cisco!"
"Oh." Hal sighed loudly relieved, in all honesty he felt like collapsing to the floor laughing, but he didn't need Batman storming out here thinking he was the Joker or had gone mad which Hal felt was a pretty likely possibility with Barry.
Realizing how it sounded like he didn't believe him Hal quickly said,
"What I meant was I'm glad your nerd brain wasn't damaged! Not that I'm glad you were freaking out!"
"It's fine Hal, I know what you meant."
And Hal be damned if anyone told him Barry wasn't smiling just than.
"Okay. Good." Hal waited a few moments before deciding the opportunity was just to good to pass up, "Soooooo you and Iris huh?"
"Shut up Hal, she's my foster-sister."
"That you're married to in another world." Hal smirked.
"Yeah I use to have a tiny bit of a crush on her, but she's with Eddie and….." Barry trailed off causing Hal's eyes to light up mischievously.
"And~?"
"Oh, uh it's nothing." Barry said quickly, too quickly in Hal's opinion.
"…You like someone else!" Hal cheered laughing.
"No! I-I don't, drop it Hal."
"Oh but this is just golden!"
"Really Hal? Say how are things going between you, and Carol?"
Hal pouted, of course Barry would bring her up...
"…..touché….."
"Sorry, but you started it."
"Yeah I guess I did." Hal rolled his eyes, "Talk to you tomorrow?"
"Sure thing. Night, Hal."
"Night, Bar."
Hal bit his lip, they had already said goodnight but Hal couldn't bring himself to hang up.
"Hal?"
Shaking his head Hal smiled,
"….It's nothing. Sorry, uh….Welcome back Barry." Quickly Hal hung up before Barry would have a chance to respond.
Now even a second later did Hal activate his ring and fly off pushing, or more like willing, both himself and the ring to go faster almost 45 minutes later Hal slowed down as he entered Central City. The green glow from his suit shined into the room from where Hal was floating outside of Barry's bedroom window, he really hoped no one noticed him and that Barry wouldn't wake up from the glow. However Hal couldn't help the relieved laugh that tumbled from his mouth as he unlatched Barry's window and entered the room. Strolling over to the bed Hal looked down at Barry's face, which seemed a bit different but other than the bit of facial hair growing Hal couldn't tell what made Barry seem any different than the last time they saw once another.
A bit aggravated Hal flicked Barry's forehead and bent towards his ear to whisper,
"Glad you're really okay you idiot."
And as if just realizing how creepy he seemed, Hal quickly flew back out the window, remembering to shut it behind him and was gone, heading back hopefully before the others realized he had left.
And so I bring to you all another update!
