While practicing his speed, Barry Allen once again breaks the dimensional barrier, traveling to a different Earth in the Multiverse. Now, stranded in Zootopia, he finds himself working with Nick and Judy on a case that involves criminals being upgra...
Barry sighed as he lent against Judy's door, his mask was once again pulled up, although that was more out of habit than anything else. As he stood there, the superhero saw that he was attracting a few stares from the hospital staff, normally he would have been speaking with them, joking, laughing, maybe even getting food, he found it was a great way to get to know the people he helped. It made what he did feel more personal. Right now though, he didn't feel like talking to anyone. He hadn't known Judy long, but the bunny had made an impression on him with her courage and positive attitude, she actually reminded him of Iris. Maybe she was her double for this universe, but wouldn't that make Nick his double? Alternate realities could be so confusing. He was pulled from his thoughts by the sound of heavy hoofsteps. Looking up, Barry saw Bogo rapidly approaching. Roughly pushing his way through doctors and patients alike, the chief of the ZPD didn't stop until he was staring Barry down.
"A word," growled Bogo, pointing at an empty room across the hall.

The human knew what was coming, the buffalo's dislike for him had been made clear at their first meeting. However, he wasn't just going to let Bogo lay into him without a fight. As the door shut behind them, he launched straight into his argument.
"I know what you're about to say, that it's my fault that Judy got hurt, that I'm the reason these enhanced mammals suddenly appeared in Zootopia." Barry said.
Bogo folded his arms and gave the human a stern look, but Barry stood his ground and continued on.
"I get that you don't like me, there are police back home that don't like me. All they see is the vigilante that could turn on them at any given time."
Then, perhaps in a rather stupid move, he stepped up to Bogo and poked him in his muscled chest.
"But the truth is that your fears are unfounded. I have done nothing to betray the trust of your officers, and I have co-operated with the ZPD at every turn. The fact is, those enhanced mammals have always existed and would have attacked you regardless. All my appearance did was force them out of the shadows sooner."
Barry's heart was hammering against his ribcage as he stared down the buffalo, he might have super speed, but the human was still intimidated by the large mammal, although he hoped that it did not show.
"Furthermore, had I not broken the dimensional barrier, Judy would have died before long before this. In the short time I've known her, it clear she's a brave cop who truly puts the needs of others over her own, it's why she was in that burning building, it's why she pushed Nick into cover. She did what anyone, officer or no, would have done to save someone they cared about and you know it!"
The buffalos expression remained unchanged as he looked down at the finger planted on his chest. Unfolding his arms, the chief of the ZPD firmly pushed it to one side before speaking.
"Eloquently put Mr Allen, but I wasn't going to blame you for anything." He said.
