Smart girl. Barry shares a smile with Jess before turning his attention back to the little girl who's shaking her head, tears threatening again in her eyes. "Hey, it's okay. We can help."
Joe would absolutely kill him for this, but.. "You know," And Barry's expression is one that could only be called conspiratorial, as if he and the little girl are sharing a deep secret. "I think I saw some lightning pass by on the streets."
Which gets her immediate and undivided attention, eyes wide as she waves her Flash figure at Barry, nearly shoving a small plastic hand right up his nose. He laughs and nods. "That's right! And hey.. me and the Flash? We're pretty tight. I bet if you go with Jess to find a policeman, I can probably talk him into saying hello."
Wild hope replaces fear and the little girl nods.
Yep. Joe was going to kill him for this and Harry was going to give him ten kinds of hell. But it's a little kid. He's got to.
Before Jess looks up Barry is slipping through the crowd. He's going to have to get his spare suit from the station, but it's not that far away and when you travel at over 1500 miles an hour it only tacks a few extra seconds on to the trip before he's off again, looking for Jess and that little girl.
