These are the moments that Barry loves the best. Not just running, not just tapping into the speed force and feeling it crackle like something alive around and inside of him. But the way he can make a scared little girl feel better simply by being there. He's not going to stop smiling for days.
The hug is returned and he laughs brightly at her enthusiasm and her joy. This? This is one of the days when it's completely awesome to be the Flash.
"I think we can," he answers, bringing her little hands up to feel the vibrations in his neck as he speaks. "Down to the park and back?" Effie nods enthusiastically and wraps her arms around his neck without hesitation. Barry wraps her up carefully, meeting Jessica's smile for a moment. "Be right back."
And in an instant they're gone. Two seconds later, they're back and Effie is wearing a crown of daisies to boot. Barry sets her back on the table with a smile. "You keep being brave, okay? Stay with the nice doctor until she finds your family."
