We all know that Barry Allen was the nerdy kid his whole life. But when an old friend comes back to Central City everything changes. Secrets arise, a new relationship forms and strengthens, new enemies are made, and people get harder to trust. Will this friendship last? Or will all hell break loose? (Clarity Parker is my character. I do not own The Flash or anything you recognize.) (Was named 'The Purple Flash')

Superheroes are amazing. They teach us that we can be saved, and we too want to be like them and save people. But what we don't realize is that the most important superheroes aren't the ones in capes or masks. They're the friends that hold us together when everything else breaks apart.

Barry closed the singularity, but he's changed. He's lost, confused. He's not the light we knew. He doesn't know how to deal with the fame that is bestowed upon the Flash, nor does he think it is deserved. He has a hard time trusting people again and has pushed his friends and family away. He just goes through the routines of life, work, the things he knows and are comfortable. But when Captain Sigh throws a new Forensic assistant in the mix, Barry's world it thrown of it's axis. Is she the key to getting him to open up again? After some drabbles, my first ever multi-chapter story. Please be kind!
