[Barry]
[Sophomore year]
Barry Allen was sitting in the principals office next to Tony Woodward. He was awkwardly twiddling his thumbs. He had a badly injured probably fractured arm and a broken wrist.
"Oh you two are back. School started two weeks ago and you already have an injury and you already have suspension" the principal Mrs. Davids says. "Sorry" Barry mutters. "Barry I think you should head to the guidance counselor Tony your parents are waiting on you." Mrs. Davids says and Barry nods grabbing his backpack.
Once they are out of the office Tony throws him against a wall. "Listen hear you freak son of a murderer try anything like that and you'll be in prison just like your old man" he snarks.
"Don't talk about my dad" Barry mutters.
"What? is he gonna murder me too?" Tony had used that line since he found out about Barry's mother's murder. A slight smirk went across Barry's face as he swiftly kicks Tony in the balls and while he was in pain and yelling "I'm gonna get you for this Allen!" Barry took the chance and raced into the guidance office and locked the door.
He pants heavily as he turns his head to see Joe and his uncle? "Barry sit down. We need to talk" Uncle Matt says. "I'm moving you"
"What? Why?"
"Do I really need to answer that?"
"Uncle Matt I appreciate you care and all but where were you the past four years since my mom died!" Barry shouts. "I regret not getting you out of here sooner but you're heading to Ohio with me what happened this time?"
"Welllll" Barry started calming down.
Flashback
Barry was walking to his locker. He had just opened it to take out some books. Tony Woodward who was a football player walked down the hall most of the cheerleaders-including Iris who had dyed her hair blonde to fit in-were following him. "Let's show this loser who's boss" Tony smirks. The head cheerleader Becky Cooper-who had dated Barry for three weeks the year before handed him a slushy. Tony smirks. Barry looked at him anger in his eyes. Tony lunges at Barry throwing the young man against a locker. He then proceeded to twist Barry's arm until a cracking noise was heard. Then he took the slushy and threw it on his face. "Looks like the little murderer spawn almost got what he deserved!" Tony taunted. Barry gives him a blank stare blood dripping from a cut on his forehead.
A girl who was a year or two ahead of Barry looked at him sympathetically as she went to her class. "You two!" One of the staff says pointing at Barry and Tony. "My office. Now."

"Well." Was all Joe said leaving.
"Pack your bags we leave tonight Joe will take you to the airport." Uncle Matt says and Barry hops in Joe's car heading home.

Two days later

They landed in a city about an hour from Westerville.

"Barry come down here a minute" Uncle Matt says. Barry runs down the stairs and trips. "Ow" he mutters putting his sling on and walking over to the kitchen where his cousin Stacy was hanging out with his uncle. Stacy looked similar to Barry in a way. They both had Brown hair and green eyes but her hair was long and in a braid to the side.
  "Hi Barry. I just wanna thinking it might be a good idea to change your name. We don't really want a repeat of what happened in Central City. Plus it's only temporary so you seem like you're my son" Uncle Matt says. "Like my whole name or just my last name" Barry questions. "Whole name if willing and before you graduate we'll change it back" he says. "Fine" Barry sighs. Stacy ultimately decided Barry's new first name should be Sebastian so Barry went with it.
Barry Allen no longer legally existed. Soon his name would be Sebastian. Sebastian Smythe.
