Every Action

Ep. 5 Every Action...

"Hello bro," my sister tackled me in a hug.

"Whoa don't knock me down, I'm your ride home sis," I said laughing.

She handed me some of her luggage which I took.

"So how was your trip to Gotham?" I asked her.

We started walking to the exit of the airport. She bit her lip.

"What's wrong sis?" she looked uneasy.

"N-nothing I just had a feeling of something bad happening."

Even though they were just feelings they usually turned out right, but there is no set time whenever she feels it. It might happen the exact moment she feels it or even months later. I swear sometimes I think she's got a superpower or something.

"Don't worry it might just be something you ate," I tried reassuring her.

"I hope so," she sounded worried.

We arrived at my car and got in. Her expression totally changed from depressed to ecstatic.

"So I forgot to ask you how has my favorite couple been doing lately?"

"Oh no, I forgot to call you about it."

"No duh Sherlock, you didn't even call me at all since you got that internship at the CCPD."

"Sorry, but a few weeks after you left to Gotham Academy we broke up."

"What!" I had to cover my ears as she screamed. Even though the windows were closed her screams could still be heard all the way outside.

"So I leave for a little bit and everything falls apart?" she glared at me.

"That's exactly what Cisco said." I said shaking my head trying to get the ringing out of my head.

"Cisco?" she asked confused. "Nevermind, so why did you two break up?"

(I have retconned the previous reason from chapter one)

"Well It just wasn't working out. She was just having control issues over my internship. She just didn't understand the reason why I entered the CCPD."

"So how are you holding up?"

"I'm doing okay especially right now."

"Why might that be?" She looked at me suspiciously.

"I might have met someone new," I said embarrassed at what she might say.

"Well that's great!"

"You think so?"

"Yeah, just because you broke up with my best friend doesn't mean I don't want my brother to be happy," she explained. "I still haven't asked how Iris is doing."

"Uh, we don't know."

"We?"

"Yeah after our break up she left to a college in Coast City. Joe and I have heard her voice at Jitters but whenever we try to talk to her she leaves and we haven't actually seen her in person since she left.

"Well she is old enough to know what's right and wrong," she tried to defended her.

"She's seventeen!"

"The law says that one is an adult at seventeen Barry! Even if it didn't we would still have to trust her so she won't do anything stupid!" she scolded me. "How is Joe taking this?" she lowered her voice.

"Even with everything that's happening he still sides with me," I looked outside the window.

"Barry! Barry look at me! Look at me," she demanded.
