'Aman
Disclaimer: Unless Google Translator is lying, 'Aman is Arabic for Scientist. This idea is basically young Barry being taken in by a member of the LoA after one of his run away attempts after his mom's death. Also makes use of a Bland Super Heroes Tumblr idea involving him seeing Nyssa as a sister.
Summary: During one of his many run aways, Barry ends up being found by a member of the League of Assassins, one that promises him a better fighting chance for when he finally comes across his mother's killer.
The young man formerly known as Barry Allen had long been a member of the League Of Assassins ever since since he'd been a boy. Becoming known as 'Aman, or Scientist in English as he had quite the intelligence about him and a love for Science. A love that wasn't extinguished in the harsh paths he underwent to becoming a member of the LoA. The one known as Rashiq Qutil had been the one to find him on the dark streets of Central City, Missouri one evening after Barry had chosen to run away again due to his grief over his mother's death. Not to mention his anger over his dad's false imprisonment that no one but him really thought was false. And because Rashiq had been in the area for some time due to an assignment, he was well aware of the pain the young boy had recently endured and saw an opportunity to potentially mold it into something more. Something that could even benefit the League as well since he knew Ra's was always looking for potential that would ultimately do as he wished. And had young Barry known just how harsh the new life he was being promised would be, he probably wouldn't have agreed to it.
But agree he did and causing History to be changed somewhat in so doing. Joe and Iris, along with Henry would be quite depressed over his disappearance and Joe would do what he could when he had the chance to try and find Barry. This would also give Iris more of an interest in Journalism as she felt it could be one way to try and track him down. His disappearance also infuriated Eobard Thawne since even with Gideon at his disposal, he was unable to track him down. Though what he didn't know is that Gideon had lied to him about where her young creator was, even if she wasn't too enthused about where he was but it was for the best where his safety was concerned. But the man did feel a small amount of pleasure in the fact his future nemesis wouldn't be around to get in his way when the time came and decided to secretly mold one Wally West to do as he needed when it came time to returning home. Barry's time with the League would prove to be harsh but beneficial, even coming to see Rashiq as a father figure while he ended up developing a sibling like bond with Nyssa, the daughter of Ra's Al Ghul himself. His ideas as he grew would help improve the little bit of tech Ra's made use of.
Even including more as time went on to further improve League missions and the like. And though he is a member, Barry's place was more on the intelligence side of things rather then be out in the field. Especially as he didn't necessarily have the stomach for killing much to Ra's' disappointment. But he would take a life if required of him to do so despite not liking it one bit. Sara, later on, would recruit Barry to help Oliver look into a robbery at his company as she knew he tended to make a visit to his mother's grave once a year that Ra's had yet to learn of once he'd been old enough to leave on his own. Her doing this would annoy him somewhat as it interrupted his time with his mother but once it was done and over with, had immediately headed back to Central and even stealthly got inside CCPD to see if anything had yet to be learned of the real killer of his mother before going back to her grave. This action would make him believed to be dead by Ra's and the others back in the LoA for nine months after the Particle Accelerator's explosion, making Nyssa very unhappy since she loved him like a little brother.
Even with Sara's information of his last known whereabouts hadn't helped matters any either and had they stuck around a bit longer, one Iris West would have been quite helpful in revealing the fact he was located at STAR Labs after he'd been brought there thanks to Eobard finding out he'd been in the hospital after threatening Gideon's life expectancy. Joe and Iris, and Henry once he found out were relieved to finally have found him after so many years of his being missing and hoped and prayed like crazy he'd wake up soon so they could grill him about where he'd been! And once he finally woke up and nearly scared the crap out of Caitlin and Cisco, Barry, or 'Aman, as he's known now, would have his first reunion with Iris West for the first time in years thanks to her showing up right as he was looking to get the Hell out of dodge! "B-Barry!? You're awake!" Cried out the girl in happiness as she rushed him and hugged him.
Confusing the Hell out of him while Caitlin, Harrison Wells, and Cisco watched on. "Who, who are you? And how do you know that name? Now, to be honest, I haven't gone by that name in years." Wondered the man as he thought over just how pissed Ra's was gonna be with him once he got back to Nanda Parbat after quite possibly being believed dead for nine months!
Iris pulled away from him with shock on her face. "I… I guess I should have expected you not to remember me. I mean… It has been years since you went vanished on me and dad." She told him while wondering how the heck he hadn't gone by his real name in years.
"I-Iris?"
As while he may have been gone a number of years, he still remembered her and those feelings he once had for her. Feelings he knew now to be nothing more then a puppy love kind of thing at that age. Iris let out a breath in relief that he did seem to remember her. "Oh, thank God! You do remember me!"
"It might be a few years since I last saw you, but yeah, I remember. Now, if you'll excuse me, I have to get back home where I'm more then likely over due for a lecture or two." Granted, it would probably more then that but this girl and the two behind them didn't need to know that.
His words however seemed to displease Iris as she went to hit him on the arm to show her displeasure, but he was able to catch the hand before it could land. "No hitting please, as I'd rather not have to defend myself right now."
How he would do so wouldn't be something she'd like either! "Your home is with me and dad, Barry! And yes, you really are over due for a lecture! As do you have any idea what your disappearance put us through!? What it put your dad through!?"
"My home is in the mountains of Nanda Parbat as it has been so for years, not here. I am sorry if this displeases you or your father due to how you two feel over my long absence." He told her with his tone devoid of anything to it.
Now his true father knew he was alive but cause of his anger over everyone refusing to believe him, had chosen to never reveal he knew anything about his being alive. Even if Barry had never really told him where he was living and what he was doing. Just that it was helping him become someone his mother's killer would regret coming across when the day finally came. Iris for one could hardly believe how her old friend was acting at the moment and she hated it. Barry then turned to Dr. Wells and his team. "Thank you for taking care of me while I was in the coma, and thank you for the sweater as well. Perhaps one day I can return the favor. Now, I need to get home."
And with that, he was gone before anyone could stop him and while Eobard wanted to go to Nanda Parbat, he knew at this point it would be a bad idea considering his limited speed. Iris even tried following him while calling up her dad to get him involved but would be quite surprised and frustrated when he somehow disappeared on her thanks to his knowledge of the city and where a hidden LoA safehouse was. A call to Nyssa while he got what he needed for a plane ride would prove to be quite loud as she was none too happy about his disappearance! But also quite elated he was alive and well, a feeling Rashiq and Sara also shared as well. Unfortunately for 'Aman, Central City wouldn't quite be done with him as the explosion of the Particle Accelerator had given him an incredible gift of great speed. Speed he would learn to control under the guidance of the STAR Labs team once gaining approval from Ra's as the man thought such a gift would be valuable to have under his command. This however, would lead to 'Aman finally confronting his mother's killer and getting justice in her memory.
Not to mention truly re-connecting with his father, along with Joe and Iris, and finding a shared love with Linda Park and Patty Spivot. His journey to confronting the Reverse Flash would even slowly turn him away from Ra's and the League and to that of a hero's path. Though his time with the League was never too far from him and it certainly allowed him to be more of an efficient fighter against those he fought. He'd even give League training to both Cisco and Caitlin so they wouldn't be easy to kidnap by those looking to get an upper hand on him. His newer path wasn't one Ra's and Rashiq approved of and it would certainly cause issues later on down the line. But that's a story for another time. Nyssa and Sara however approved wholeheartedly of the new direction their little brother had taken. Sara especially was kinda jealous of the fact he had scored with two hotties like Linda and Patty!
