His Lightning Rod

Chapter 7

When we get to the fire my eyes widened. "That's a huge fire." Barry nodded. "I can bring people put and you can check to see if they are fine." I nod my head. He goes in and comes out with 2 people then goes back in after telling them something. They look at me and walk over. It was a man and a women. They looked like a couple. "Are you guy's ok?" "Yes just a few scratches." I nod. I walk over to a frantic couple. "Hey, Hey, hey are you guy's ok? What's wrong?" The women looks at me with a tear stained face.

"Our little boy is still in there." "Ok my partner will save him." They nod but in there eyes I could see doubt. I put my hand to my ear and press a button. "Hey a couple says that there little boy is still in there? Can you find him?" I said.

Yes give me 15 seconds.

I look at the couple. "My partner will be out here with your son in 15 seconds." They nod. Barry comes out soon. He comes over and gives the couple their child. "Thank you." The woman says. "What are your names?" The man asks. "Reflex and...." I trail off. "The Flash." Barry finishes. "Thank you for saving my son Flash and Reflex." We nod and smile at them. Barry picks me up and we go to STAR labs.

We take off our suits and walk out in the Cortex. "Good job. I love the names." Cisco said I laugh. I yawn loudly. "Bedtime for me." I said. Barry picks me up. "See ya guys tomorrow." Barry speeds off to my apartment. I smile and he puts me down outside of my door. "Thanks Barry." "Anytime Arabella." I turn around and unlock my door I feel a whoosh and know Barry left.

I walk in and turn the lights on. I lock the door behind me and take off my shoes. I walk in my bedroom nd grab some night clothes. I take a quick shower and climb in bed, I plug in my phone and lay down. I soon fall asleep. I wake up hearing noises in my house. I couldn't do anything for a second. I look at the time and see that it is half past 12.

I keep the light off so I don't alarm the person that is intruding in my house. I cry and sob. I call the only person I know that can help me... I turned on my phone and scrolled through my many, many contacts. I finally see the one I was looking for. I hover my finger over the call button. My hand was shaking. I finally get the wits to do it. The phone rung 3 times before he picked up.

Arabella why are you calling this early in the morning.

B-Barry I need you right now.

I stuttered.

Are you ok Arabella?

No I need a friend and you are the only one that can get her fast enough. I'm scared Someone is in my house.

OK I will be there in a second stay on the phone. Go in your closet and hide don't make a peep.

I did exactly that I grabbed my bat and ran quietly to the closet. I hear fists throwing and the impact of one. I couldn't stop shaking. Tears streamed down my face. I heard my bedroom door open. The light turned on and I skootched back quietly. "Arabella it's Barry. Your safe come out now." I sigh and get up I open the doors and see Barry standing in his suit. I drop the bat and run over to him,

I jump on him and he catches me. Tears flowed down my face. I stuffed my face in his chest. I cried and sobbed. "Shh, it's ok, your ok. I have you." He said over and over. "C-Can I spend the night with you I don't feel safe by myself." Of course let me get some of your clothes and everything you need." I nod and he sets me down. He zooms around my bedroom grabbing stuff. He then leaves and is back in a minute.
