The Flash: Next Generation

Chapter 3: the bully [part 1]

(heads up. Emma is in fourth grade here. So shes about 9. But I'm 17 and can't think like a 9 year old. Bear with me folks😅)

Emma's pov:

"Emma, get up kiddo. It's time to go to school." I heard daddy say as he knocked on my door. He opened the door. "You awake?" He asked. "Yes." I whined. "Good. Get dressed. We'll stop by and get some donuts for breakfast on the way to school." He said closing the door. "Wait. Where's momma?" I asked sitting up. He opened the door again and said, "she had to go down to the office, I'm gonna drop you off at school but you will have to ride the bus home." Oh great, the bus, I thought. "Ok..." I said softly. He closed the door and I heard his footsteps as he walked down the stairs. Ok Emma... time to think of an excuse. I crawled back in bed and waited until daddy came up to see if I was dressed. About 3 minutes later I heard daddy's foot steps coming up the stairs, then I heard a knock on the bedroom door. "Kiddo, you dressed?" He asked opening the door. "No." I said as sad as I could. Daddy walked in and stood beside my bed. "Why not?" He asked. "I don't feel good..." I squeeked out with a little cough on the end. Daddy just raised his eyebrow. Uh oh. When he does that... I'm in trouble. "Well you seemed fine 5 minutes ago." He said while crossing his arms. "Um..." I was busted. "That's what I thought. Get up and get dressed. You missed your chance for donuts." He said walking out of my room. Oh man... I really wanted them donuts too. I got dressed and zoomed downstairs. "I'm ready daddy." I yelled. Daddy walked out from his and mommy's room with his book bag too. "Alright, let's go." He handed me a pack of poptarts and opened the door. I walked out and stood there waiting for him. After he got out and locked the door he zoomed me to his work. "This isn't school daddy." I said. "I know. You're gonna hang out here with me until your done with your pop tarts." He said while opening the door. I walked in and when daddy walked in I grabbed his hand. I didn't really like daddy's work, there were alot of creeps around. Daddy took me up to his lab and told me to sit down and eat my poptart. A few minutes passed and I was still trying to think of an excuse to not go to school. "Come on kiddo school time. We don't want you to be late." He walked over and held his hand out. I looked at him with big brown puppy eyes. "Daddy, I don't wanna go to school." I said. He looked down at me and I saw a little smile. He knelt down on one knee in front of me and held both my hands in his. "You've never not wanted to go to school this bad. Is something the matter?" He asked me and I really wanted to tell him, but I didn't. I looked at my shoes and quietly said "No. Nothing's wrong... I just, don't wanna go daddy. That's all." I looked up at him and could tell he didn't believe me. He had a little frown on his face as he stood up. "Alright...well you have to go. I cant let you stay. Now come on." He walked over and opened the door for me. I walked out slowly. He walked me outside and then picked me up and zoomed me to school. He straightened up my hair and clothes. Then walked me to the doors of the school. "Bye kiddo, I love you." He smiled and bent down so I could kiss him on the cheek. "Bye daddy. Love you too." I kissed him on the cheek and then walked inside. And when I turned to see if he was still there, so I could give one last excuse, he was gone. Of course. "Well... here we go." I thought as I walked to my class.

Barry's pov:

As I was running back to CCPD my mind started to wander. I was worried about Emma. She's never been that persistent about not wanting to go to school. I stopped in front of the station and walked in. It really looked like something was bothering her. I started walking towards the stairs when my phone started buzzing in my pocket. I pulled it out and saw the meta alert blinking on my screen. I quickly made my way to the doors and as soon as I got outside I zoomed to star labs. I ran in and threw on my suit. "What's up guys?" I ask walking over to Cisco and Caitlin. "Clive Yorkin busted out of his cell in the meta human wing at iron heights." Cisco said scrolling on the computer panel. "Looks like he's trying to hold up the bank." Caitlin said looking up at me. "Um... who is this Clive Yorkie?" Ralph asked. "Clive Yorkin, is a meta with decomposing touch." Cisco corrected him. I started to think about Emma again. I hope she knows she can tell me if something is wrong. "Go Allen!" I heard Harry say. I zoomed out running to the bank.
