The Hero's Cry

chapter 23

Sara's point of view:

I was at the cafe on my day off Mick and Leonard where off on a guys weekend to Las Vegas while Lisa was with her grandparents for the weekend as well and for once I had a weekend too myself don't get me wrong I love my boys and I love my daughter but the last three years have been incredibly crazy and incredibly busy sara shouldn't you be somewhere else on your day off asked my manger Ashley with a smile as she sat down next to me hey Ashley and hey this place has good coffee and food you can't blame me I said taking an sip of my coffee Ashley chuckle can't fight you on that said Ashley before she took one of my cherry tomatoes where's the family asked Ashley ah the boys are in Vegas and Lisa is with her grandparents I said with a smile even though I was more than happy to have the weekend to myself but I still missed my family ah some you time I miss that said Ashley making me laugh she had four boys herself and they where so incredibly cute but also a handful she's brought them to work before and our boss just loves them she also loves Lisa as well our boss didn't have children so our kids where her adopted grandchildren I thought it was sweet Mick and Leonard thought it was risky to have Lisa grow attached to too many people In case we had to leave from an job gone bad but so far other than Barry we haven't runned into any trouble for a while.

well i better get to work i'll see you back here soon enough said ashley quickly making her way to some other tables that where waiting for there orders to be taken yes you will i said to myself as i finished my coffee i let out a gasp and an jump as someone touched my shoulder i let out a sigh to see barry standing behind me jeez barry give a girl an warning next time i said placing an hand over my chest sorry didn't mean to scare you said barry with a chuckle what brings you here i asked allowing barry to sit next to me.

barry let out a sigh i'm just tried of everything being the flash lately it's been draining said Barry I'm confused on why your telling me I can't do much for you I said making Barry chuckle weakly I know maybe I'm wondering how you can manage two of central city's biggest criminals as well as 8 year old daughter and a job at the cafe asked Barry making me smile it helps with my background I've always been good at doing more than one thing kind of had to with the life I lived I said and your not going to tell me huh said Barry.

no sorry barry even though i like you i don't want to tell you my sob story what's in the past stays in the past i said barry's face soften i never told you i admired you said barry making me gasp what do you mean i asked your so strong i mean i know your the bad guy in my story but your not the others said barry making me smile softly how am i different i asked turning to face barry.

most criminals don't care about anything but themselves you care for snart and mick not to mention lisa your so good with them and i'm thankful you gave them something they lacked said barry and what's that i asked my eyes an little watery hope that even bad guys can have a happy ending said barry making me laugh softly thank you barry those words made my day and central city has a pretty epic hero i said making barry laugh i don't know about that it seems i mess up a lot said barry what hero doesn't barry every hero makes mistakes what the learn and do after the mistake makes the hero i said making barry give me a smile as he let out a soft scoff when did you become so wise asked barry making me smile when you live the life i did being smart and wise saves you from a darker path i said even more dark then stealing asked barry all we do is steal and hurt people sometimes but we  never kill that was my one rule before i joined i don't like killing even if the person deserves it i said quickly flashing back to when i killed my mother i know it was nicole's idea but i was the one who pulled the trigger it was my fault and now i had blood on my hands sometimes just because your the bad guy doesn't mean the bad guy can't have a mortal rule.

i'm glad i know your the bad guy but i acually like you and i really don't want to put you in the jail said barry making me smile softly even if you did it wouldn't surprised me if mick and leoarnd came and broke me out i said making barry laugh yeah that wouldn't surprise me at all if i know those two it wouldn't last to long before they broke out there leader said barry making me laugh hey i'm not the leader i said well they sure listen to you and me personally i rather you in charge then mick said barry making me shake my head i can't fight you on that i said making barry laugh alright i'm sure i'll see you soon said barry standing up see you around barry i whispered watching barry walk out of the cafe for a hero he wasn't to bad and i couldn't help but feel like he was becoming a quick  friend even though we where on the op-piste side from each other.
