I'm A What!?
Part 2
Disclaimer: I own nothing but what you see here. This is a continuation of chapter 41's 'I'm A What?'
Summary: Joe wants some answers and he's gonna get em!
Joe looked expectantly at his adopted son as he leaned up against the entryway with his arms crossed. "Well? I'm waiting."
Barry just looked at him before looking towards the green haired woman. Who would decide to take things from there. "Oh! So you are the famous Joe West!" Spoke up the Brazillian woman excitedly as she came over to him.
"Yeah's that me. Not so sure about famous though." Replied the man as the green haired woman kissed him on each cheek.
She then chuckled at him. "Oh, so modest Mr. West! Now I know where Barry gets it from!"
Barry for his part just blushed and scratched the back of his head awkwardly. Joe however couldn't help but chuckle in appreciation of this woman. "It was a lot of hard work but it paid off in the end."
"And I thank you for it Mr. West, I truly do as Barry is such a gentleman!"
Young Harold however just rolled his eyes and stepped forward, determined to end all this before it got derailed even further. "Hello grandfather." Spoke the boy in a respectful tone of voice.
Joe for his part was surprised by this while Bea just glared at her son for interrupting. A glare he himself saw. "What? You were stalling for time mother." Replied the young man and earning himself a laugh from Joe.
"Sometimes it is apparent you were raised a little too well." Bea said a little annoyedly.
"Hey, I like that. Means he won't be much trouble when he's a teenager."
No, he'll just be all prim and proper. So unnatural! Thought Barry.
"But anyways, I believe there's some explaining that needs to be done?"
Leave it to Joe to get back on track! Bea looked to Barry first and he decided to start talking first. "We met in college and one thing led to another basically. Though I swear I had no clue at all that she was pregnant with Harold when she went back to Brazil." God how he wished he could have been part of his son's life back then!
But hopefully now he would have that chance! "Yes, my father was most unhappy with me when he learned of my pregnancy. It was the sole reason for why he enforced my return to Brazil." The man had tried to get her to give up the baby but she had remained firm in her stance against that.
She wouldn't even let him speak with Harold for that matter much to his annoyance but then he could understand it considering how he had been towards her while pregnant. "Huh, well, the important thing is, is that you guys are here now." Voiced Joe and earning a radiant smile from Bea.
"Agreed!" And she so looked forward to a full on reunion with Barry!
Though there was the trouble of Amanda Waller and to a lesser degree her modeling career but those were obstacles they could deal with as time went on. "So, who wants to get somethin' to eat?" Asked Joe with a clap of the hands a few seconds later while wondering how all this was gonna play out where Iris and other things are concerned.
"Mmm, I could eat!"
"Will we be eating steak? I am most fond of steak."
Joe just gave his 'grandson' a look. "Actually I was just thinkin' of a burger."
"Oh." Came the disappointed response and causing Joe to shake his head.
He then looked towards Barry. "You comin' with?"
"Um, I have this evidence to go through remember?"
"I think the Captain will understand considering the circumstances Bear." Plus, this would give him more an opportunity to get more answers.
Barry thought on that and realized that the man was right and then gave a nod. "Yeah, sure, we can head out to Big Belly Burger." Of course he was gonna have to curb his appetite around his ex and their son! But he was confident he could do so!
"Sounds horribly low class." Muttered Harold and actually making Joe re-think his words about his teen years.
"Oh hush Harold, you've grown too accustomed to the ways of the high life. It is time you learned the ways of the normal life."
Harold looked put out by that but kept quiet as they all left. Oh boy… Kid's gonna be a handful. And boy did he hope he would be able to handle it!
Author's Notes: Heh, hope you guys enjoyed this. Probably the next few updates for Possibilities will be continuation chapters unless I decide to include something else but that is my main plan for the time being. And yes, there will be more of this one in the future. R and R!
