Injustice cannon divergence where barry joins batman after Clark kills shazam.
Lots of Barry whump and description of panic attacks beware. The first chap super whumpy, the second, the world's reaction to Flash being back.
He remembered the day he’d made the choice to leave Superman’s side. It hadn’t been an easy decision—nothing ever was when it came to Clark. The man was more than a leader; he was a symbol of hope and justice… or at least he had been before things went so terribly wrong. Before the world fell apart, and Superman’s justice became ruthless order at the cost of human lives.
So, he’d run. He’d run fast and far, not knowing where he was going until he found himself standing at the outskirts of Gotham, shivering under the cold, unyielding gaze of Batman.
Barry hadn’t expected a warm welcome—he wasn’t stupid. He knew he’d be met with suspicion, maybe even hostility. After all, he’d been one of them. One of the soldiers who carried out Superman’s decrees without question. But Bruce had listened. He’d let Barry talk—more than he’d expected. He’d stood there, silent and unreadable, as Barry spilled his guilt, his shame, his confusion.
Batman accepted him into his ranks and now he gets to deal with all his problems alone because everyone just glares at him in distain. hes sure he can handle it... totally. he can handle just being the flash, who needs barry allen?
