When Barry

Met Sara

Disclaimer: I was inspired to do this by Twitter's own Ally (Lady) Lestrange!

Summary: Life goes a bit off the tracks when Barry Allen meets Sara Lance after he ends up living in Starling City.

"You new here?" Questioned a Blonde that had been sitting next to young Barry Allen for the last 20 minutes in the Principal's office of Bulliol Prep.

Her voice startling the youngster a bit as he hadn't been expecting it one bit. "Uhh… Y-Yeah, I am. Waiting for them to give me my schedule actually."

However, Barry was hating the fact that he was even now living in Starling City. Which was miles and miles away from where he used to live! Which was Central City! Somewhere he'd rather be instead of here! Not to mention the fact his unfairly jailed father was also miles and miles away too because of this move! A move that had happened as somehow, someway, he'd won some scholarship/sponsorship to attend Buillol Prep in Starling City. Not knowing this was the work of a certain Man in Yellow who'd ruined his life several years before. Said Man in Yellow doing this as he realized it was another way he could screw with Barry Allen and possibly prevent him even further from becoming the Flash. Especially when he realized with Gideon's help that by having done what he did to Nora Allen, he'd foolishly wiped away his own future due to that one act changing everything.

Needless to say, he hadn't been a very happy camper once the realization had fully settled in. He was a man out of time and place and it was only because of the Negative Speed Force energy that he hadn't been wiped out himself. And since Joe had felt it was a good idea for several reasons to accept what Barry had been given, had moved them out to Starling. Said reasons being ones Barry was fully aware of and hated every bit of as well for that matter. Unfortunately for Iris however, she had to attend the local high school since she hadn't gotten the same 'luck' as Barry did. This of course was another doing of the Man in Yellow and done more as an act of spite towards the girl that had been such a well known reporter in his time. "Oh, well, welcome to Prep Hell then." The Blonde told him.

Clearly showing she was not a fan of the place if he wasn't mistaken in his view. "I take it you're not new then?"

"Nope. I'm what you could say a regular here in the office though." She told him.

She just hated the conformity and matching uniforms, damnit! "Oh."

"Yup. By the way, I'm Sara, Sara Lance. You'll probably see me in the halls and trying to ditch."

"I'm… Barry, Barry Allen. You'll probably see me in the halls probably being lost, confused, and still unhappy about living here in Starling." He told her in return, being a little hesitant and worried she'd recognize his name because of what happened with his family.

But when she just gave him a thumb's up and showed no signs of recognition, he felt a sense of relief well up in him. "Tell you what, me and some friends will make sure you don't get lost around here. Of course, knowin' my sister she'll probably end up being your tour guide"

Sara just had to roll her eyes at her goodie goodie two shoes of a sister. Whom would no doubt have a lecture for her once she saw her as word would undoubtedly get to her about today's little stunt that warranted another trip to the Principal's office! "Oh, uhh… Okay. Thanks, I guess..."

He just hoped this wasn't some cruel trick that would lead to him ending up getting bullied. He had had enough of that back home in Central, thank you very much! "No sweat, Al."

"Umm..."

"I know, but ya look like an 'Al' to me."

"If you say so..."

Sara just grinned at him and couldn't wait to introduce him to Ollie and Tommy! Not realizing this would be start to make life even more wild as time went on!

Author's Notes: I was gonna make this its own thing but as I got to writing and finishing it, felt that perhaps it was best to place here in 'Possibilities'.
