CH14- Family Man

-Isaac Allen's View-

When I got out of the train and stepped foot into Central City, it was night time. Joe had offered to pick me up, and right on time, his car pulls up in front of me.

"Hey Joe."

"Hey Tate." I got into the back and laid down.

"How's the maintenance going on Mick's car?" Shortly after turning 18, I had to come back to Central City to handle court stuff relating to Mick's will. I took everything and thought about what to do.

Mick's house was hot on the market right now, and he was always too stubborn to sell it. Every time I'd talk about it he'd say, "Not over my dead body!" So now that brought up the question, what to do with it?

Well, I didn't really like his house, I like being in the company of Mick, so I did sell the house, but anything remotely in that house that held memories, I took it. Mick also had jewelry, so I kept that and would wear it on occasions.

So with the house money and the straight up money that I inherited, I used the money to maintain Mick's car and other menial things. The car was different, even though it was old school, it was actually a nice car.

And when I did my research on it, I had no idea how he even got his hands on it.

The car was a red Toyota 2000gt

Back when Mickey bought it in 1968, he told me he bought it for just around $7,000. That was about 150 dollars shorter than what most were selling it for. 7,000 dollars back then, is over 63,000 dollars today in 2013. But today these cars go for nearly millions.

Go ahead and ask me if I'm selling it though. My answer, it'll be a cold day in hell before I sell that car. I'm gonna have a lot of opportunities in life to get rich with my upcoming boxing career, so I have no reason to. This car was special to me, and once it gets fixed up, I'm taking it on the road.

'I gotta set up a match soon. It's almost time for me to get on top of the boxing world too.' I thought. That's a bit off topic right now though.

The Toyota 2000gt was a sports car/ grand tourer class of cars. This was running on 148 HP and a 5 speed manual. The only reason the maintenance was taking long, was because I had asked them to do a few things to the car for me.

"I've checked on it a few times and the mechanic told me that the enhancements you asked for were shipped and they would be done with it in the upcoming weeks. They said they'll call you about it." I nodded in contempt from Joe's answer.

'What kind of crazy adventures did that crazy man go through to obtain that car? According to the time he bought it, they were only showcasing and producing them in the Toyota line in Japan, meaning for that year, he was in Japan and bought that car.' I wish I had asked Mick more about his past.

I didn't even know that he's ever left the country, I've never even seen his passport before.

I sighed from the lack of knowledge, something I unfortunately expect more often of myself in the future.

'After the events of Season 2, I'm going to have to venture out from The CW Flash lore. I'm only going to save my Dad, kill Zoom, and stop Barry from creating Savitar. After that, they shouldn't need my help with any supervillains after.'

If I save our dad, then that means that Barry won't create Flashpoint, and the only reason Savitar escaped from the Speed Force, is because Barry altered the original timeline. If he doesn't do that, then Savitar stays in the Speed Force.

Speaking of dad, I've made sure to visit him religiously once a month, after the incident. I don't talk about him a lot because I can't bring myself to. It's hard enough just thinking about him, so seeing him in person is even harder.

'Let's hope Eobard still gives his confession.'

Joe pulled up to the house, and in the window next to the door, sat my obedient German Shepard, Cosmo. I've made sure visit him a lot as well, I've even brought him to Starling City a few times with me.

Thea is in love with the dog, almost more than she is with me.

As soon as I walked into the house, Cosmo barked one time and started panting like dogs do.

"What's up Cosmo?" I asked, scratching behind his ear. His tail wagged faster and his mouth got wider. "You hungry boy?"

"Bark!"

"Alright damn." I took him to the kitchen while Joe went back outside.

"Tate, I'm gonna take a call real quick, Barry and Iris will be home soon."

"Alright." I looked at the time and saw that the clock read [8:30 P.M.]

I poured dog food into his bowl and a dog treat next to him.

"Bark!" He barked before ferociously eating half of what was inside the bowl, drinking some of the water in his water bowl, and then eating the treat.

I sat on the couch and watched T.V. as a distraction until Barry and Iris get home. Barry said he was moving out next week, so that's why he actually wanted me here.

He wanted us all here as a family before he departed.

'Even though we'll have his address.' I thought in amusement. I got bored of the T.V. so I pulled my phone out and scrolled the media.

The only thing people were talking about was the trial of Moira Queen, the Glades, and the Particle Accelerator almost being ready for activation in two months.

'I'm not interested in being a superhero like Barry, I'd rather be like Oliver. Don't always have to kill and can hurt someone for information.'

Over the years I have been implementing small seeds into Barry's mind to convince him that sometimes violence was necessary when causing good. Realistically, the military do it in wars, the police do it to stop crime, heroes like the Arrow and Batman do it.

Violence is everywhere and there is no way to fully stop it. Only thing you can do, is help contain it and not let it get out of hand. Cough cough, Joker.

'Before I was nervous, but now I'm anticipating the day of the explosion. I wonder how the dark matter would effect my car if I put it within that radius?' I was absolutely not going to test that because if my car exploded or got ruined, I would be royally pissed at not only myself, but also Thawne.

'Let's enjoy life for now.'

I heard keys jiggling about 30 minutes later and looked up, the door opened to reveal Iris and Barry stepping through the door at the same time.

At first I was suspicious about that, but I knew that this version of Barry had no romantical interest in Iris, I could see it in his eyes and his movement. Everytime they were in close proximity he viewed her as a sister and was always normal around her.

'Since he's not interested in Iris, who would he marry now? According to the show, Caitlin and Barry had great chemistry. As well as Kara and Barry. Whatever choice he made it would be a good choice to me.'

Plus Killer Frost and her ice powers slow things down while Barry speeds things up. Opposites attract, they're bound to end up together.

'Jesus, I'm starting to sound like those people on the internet that talk about Thea and I's relationship.'

"Isaac, you're home." Iris stated happily. She came over and gave me a hug as I stood up from the chair.

"Yeah, I had to come home before my big brother moves out and becomes a man." I said with a smile, making Barry smile too.

"Love you too Tate." He said, wrapping me in a hug next.

"You guys too tired from work or can we watch a movie?" I asked.

"Sure, let's watch a movie." Iris and Barry agreed. We all got comfortable on the couch and I had the remote in my hand. Joe came in shortly after.

"I hope you guys weren't going to forget about me?" He asked.

"Of course not, have a seat." I told him. He sat down by Barry and waited.

"What are we watching?" Barry asked.

I scrolled on the T.V until I saw a movie that intrigued me.

"Let's watch Rocky I. I think that's a great movie." I suggested.

(A/N: I want to address something really quick. This should take less than a minute.

I am more than willing to receive constructive criticism, but when people start critiquing the reasons and inner machinations about "why I even started writing", that's when it isn't constructive criticism.

I'm tired of people assuming I'm some fanfic God who knows how to write the perfect chapter. I'm not. I've never claimed to be a good writer. I love to write what I read because I love to read what I write.

That's all I have to say. Thank you for your time :3)
