In A Matter Of Seconds [Under Editing]

Chapter 22

"Did you see anything that can help us catch these guys?" Barry nodded.

"One of them lost their mask. I saw his face." Joe smiled at him. 

They headed back to the station and Joe handed Barry a big, thick book. 

"Look through these mugs shots  of Central City's most wanted. See if you can find him." Barry used his speed to find the picture.

"That's him." He pointed to a picture of Leonard Snart. 

"Damn." Barry handed Joe the book.

"Leonard Snart." They kept walking.

"Leonard? That's almost bad as Bartholomew." Emely started laughing. 

"Your first name is Bartholomew?" Barry nodded.

"Then how did they get Barry?" Barry shrugged.

"At least mine wasn't Emelia." Emely stared at Barry.

"Your name is Emelia?" Instead of replying, Emely just stared at Barry.

Barry knew that Emely hated her real name, and why she did.

"Em, I'm sorry." Emely shook her head.

"You know that I hate that name." Barry sighed.

"Snart's father was a cop," Joe changed the subject, "a bad cop. Took his anger out on his kids when he went to prison."

"Snart's father was in prison too? We should start a club." Emely shook her head.

"He shows up like every six months. He cases a job for weeks before he makes his move. Then he does aa job, and gets away." Joe explained.

"That's before the Streak was around." Emely facepalmed.

"Did you just refer to yourself in third person?"

"I reffered to the Streak. I've been thinking about a new name." Emely stopped Barry

"What about the Flash? It's catchy, and you do save people in a flash." Barry smiled at Emely.

"I was thinking about that name too." Emely smiled back at him. 

"Coffee break?" Iris walked up to them and had 2 cups of coffee in her hand. 

"Thought I'd bring Central City's finest Java over to Central City's finest. Sorry Emely, I didn't know what you wanted." Emely nodded.

"She can have mine. I'm off caffeine right now." Joe walked away and Emely grabbed the cup.

"My dad's been mad at me ever since I told him about Eddie and I." They began to walk.

"No, you mean he's mad at you because you didn't tell him." Barry grabbed Emely's hand as he drank his coffee.

"Uh, it sounds like you're taking his side. You know his 'I'm not talking to you, but I have a bag full of judgemental looks I'll try on you later?'" They started to climbed up the stairs

"I've been on the receiving end of those." Emely giggled quietly. 

Barry glanced at her with a smile on his face. 

"Speaking of communication, or lack thereof, after all these classes, I got an idea. I'm going to start a blog." Iris said enthusiastically. 

"What's it about? Your brownie obessesion? You shouldn't broadcast that." Barry smiled.

"No. It's something important that Central City needs to know about: The Streak." Emely choked on her coffee.

"Em, are you okay?" Emely nodded as she drank her coffee.
