Random One Shots

Memories- Barry Allen

Erza's POV
I sat on the couch with Bruce and Cyborg. "I really don't like the fact that you're complaining about how you're single." Cyborg told me as he was tweaking his arm. "What can I say I don't want a trust fund baby and those are the only girls that like me." I replied. "Barry could you head upstairs I have a guest and she's at the door?" Bruce asked while typing away at his computer. I sped to the doors of the manor and opened the door to see a girl with blue eyes and light brown hair. She had ripped jeans on and a button up red and black flannel along with some black combat boots. "You must be Barry Allen. I'm Natalie." She said as she brushed past me and towards the entrance of the bat cave. "So what exactly are you here for?" I asked her keeping up with her faster pace. "My cousin needed some help with his car and he taught me how to fix them so he called me up." She explained. "Cousin?" She sighed and turned around to look at me. "Me and Bruce are second cousins my father is Bruce's cousin so he called me up." She explained continuing down into the bat cave where she fist bumped Cyborg. "Hey Nat can you help me with this I just can't seem to get it right. She leaned over the back of the couch and took the tool from his hand and moved it around until Cyborg could move his fingers again. "Thanks still need to teach me your secrets!" He shouted after her when she started to walk toward Bruce. "So what did you do to Siren now?" She asked. "Siren?" I asked. "He sure does like to ask a lot of questions." She chuckled. "That's what I call her. Me and Bruce made her from scratch." She added. "Natalie is probably the smartest and most capable technology engineer that I know. She can build just about anything and fix just about anything." Bruce told me slapping my shoulder. "Maybe she can fix me." I mumbled to Bruce who slapped the back of my head lightly. "Don't even think about it speedy." He told me walking over to Natalie who was already leaning over the car to get a good look at the engine. "Quit drooling or she'll notice." Diana said which made me jump. "Jeez when did you get here?" She laughed at my reaction and placed a hand on my shoulder. "When I heard Natalie had arrived, I trained her to be the best in combat, she might even be able to beat me in a fight." I looked back at Natalie and Bruce and he had something to make her laugh. "She's very talented, too bad she isn't into the whole superhero thing or rich, she would probably be one of us. Especially with her powers." Cyborg added. "She isn't rich?" I asked. Cyborg and Diana shook their heads and looked at her as well. "She's a humble girl who's done a lot of good. She can change her body form to anything she can think of. When her parents abandoned her that's when Bruce took her under his wing. He introduced her to engineering and got her into college when she was just eleven years old. Then he brought her to me and I trained her to fight and then Natalie helped Cyborg's father build him his metal bits and pieces." Diana explained. "So she's smart, nice, humble, pretty, and she can fight. Man I like her." I whispered to Cyborg. "Better not let Bruce find out or he'll kill you, Clark almost got punched in the throat when he flirted with Natalie." I laughed and admired her from the couch. "Y'know I have a feeling about her." I told him. He pat my shoulder and smirked at me. Our attention was grabbed by the sudden roar of an engine and I saw Natalie sitting in the driver seat of the bat mobile or Siren as she called the car. "Yo Speedy Gonzalez, I'm heading out for lunch wanna come?" She asked suddenly in front of me. "S-sure." I stuttered. She grabbed my hand and pulled me up from the couch and we walked out of the manor and I noticed a black sleek motorcycle with a helmet hanging off the handle bar. "Can't I just speed us there?" I asked eyeing the bike. "What the Flash scared of a motorcycle? C'mon Barry it's fun." She said tossing me the helmet. I shook my head and put on the helmet and got on behind her. "Hold on tight." She said with a grin on her face. I immediately wrapped my arms around her torso and she did a few donuts before speeding out onto the road. I was scared at first and then the adrenaline hit and I was smiling underneath the helmet. She parked her bike in front of a small cafe and I took off the helmet with a huge grin plastered across my face. "Told you it would be fun." She told me taking the helmet from my hands and putting it on her handle bar. We walked in and Natalie waved to the guy behind the counter. "Two of my regular Sam." She said before sitting down at a small table for two. "What exactly is your regular?" I asked resting my chin on my hand. "A shot of Cuban coffee and a cheese danish. It's a small coffee but strong as hell." She explained smirking at me I nodded and could hear the door open and noticed a girl with blonde hair and a lewd outfit walk over to us. "You're Barry Allen right, Bruce Wayne's new prodigy or whatever?" She asked me. "Yeah that's me." I confirmed as Natalie stared the girl down. "Well maybe you should come over here with me and I can buy you some lunch and you pay for dinner." She said trying to flirt. I could tell she was a trust fund baby. A expensive purse, tall high heels, a pink short skirt and tank top that her chest spilled out of, and it smelled like she bathed in perfume that made my nose burn. "Actually he's fine, me and him are having lunch together." Natalie said as Sam placed the coffees in front of us. She took a sip out of it and smiled a fake smile at the girl. "Well maybe he should have it with a girl more his type." She replied snobbishly. "I don't exactly think his type is an annoying blonde with fake tits that you bought with your rich daddy's money." Natalie replied casually taking a drink of her coffee. "And what is his type then bitch?" I tried my hardest not to laugh and Natalie smirked at the girl. "Me honey, now run back to daddy to borrow more of his money." I noticed Natalie's eyes go completely black and then to her originally dark blue tones. The blonde girl stumbled back and walked out of the shop quickly. "Dumb bitch." Natalie muttered taking a bite of her pastry. I burst out into a fit of laughter and Natalie raised an eyebrow at me. "Were you jealous of a trust fund baby?" I asked tauntingly. "So what if I was, I heard you earlier. Maybe I can fix you Barry." She smirked. I leaned back into my chair and drank my coffee and ate the pastry. "Let's head back before Bruce freaks out and tries to ground me, and yes he tried and failed." She said before I could ask about it. When we got back to the manor Bruce was waiting outside for us. "Before you say anything no you can't ground me because I'm nineteen and no we didn't use our powers." She told him. He whispered something in her ear and she smirked at me from where I was behind Bruce. "C'mon we're going for a walk speedy." She told me before walking away towards the gardens. I ran after her and noticed she was climbing up a tree. I climbed up after her and sat next to her on a thick branch. "Now just look right at the skyline and you can watch the sunset. Bruce told me to keep you out of the lab and I thought this would do." She pointed to the west and I looked at her as she watched it with dazzled eyes. "Isn't it beautiful?" She muttered breathlessly. "Not as beautiful as you." I said gathering my courage. She looked at me and took my hands and placed them on her shoulders. "Hold on tight." She whispered in my ear before we shot up into the air. I wrapped my arms around her shoulders and my legs around her waist. Her chest shook as she chuckled. "Open your eyes idiot." She whispered. I reluctantly opened them and saw a pair of black feathery wings coming from Natalie's back. "Cool." I said before looking at the predicament we were in. "I didn't think that this is how it went but it works for me." She grabbed my face and pressed her lips softly against mine and I returned it feeling the breeze as we slowly descended until our feet hit the ground and I had to lean down to capture her lips fully in the kiss. "Wow I didn't think you kissed on the first date." I told her. Natalie looked away from me and I could see the area around her eyes get red as if she was going to cry. "It isn't our first date actually." She choked out finally looking at me with sad eyes. "What?" I asked and she let out a weak chuckle. "You always did ask so many questions. Me and you knew each other when we were younger and then we got together when we were sixteen before you got your powers. You always asked about my family saying you wanted to meet them and I was scared that you might get hurt because of me so I wiped your memory and when Bruce told me about what had happened I thought you had died at first. And then he recruited you so I stayed away until now that is. I didn't have the right to take them away from you." She explained words getting more difficult to come out of her mouth. She placed her fingers on my temples and a flash of images passed through my head and I felt myself stumble backwards and Natalie caught me and helped me sit and lean against the tree. All of the images connected in my mind like puzzle pieces. All the happy times I shared with Natalie. All the nights that she snuck in during high school when I was feeling down. The one night she actually stopped me from jumping from the top of my apartment building. "Natalie..." I started but I could hear her let out a sob. "I'm sorry. I'm so so sorry Barry." She told me not meeting my eyes. I grabbed her hand and pulled her into my arms and rested my head on hers. "I never understood why I felt so attached to you at first but now I know. I love you more than anything in the world and thank you for saving my life." I whispered. My hands found their way to either side of her jaw and I tilted her head so I could press my lips against hers again. "You don't have to worry about me anymore, now we can protect each other." I said when we separated. She let out a sigh and rested her head against my chest. "I love you Barry." She murmured. "Same here Nat." I said using the nickname I made for her.

Bruce's POV
I watched from the manor and smiled. "I was wondering when she was finally gonna tell him." Diana said from behind me. "She belongs with him and now he can actually have his memories."
