Time Miko

Barry Allen finished his day's work and prepared to leave work on time. In fact, he had a lot of work today, so he cheated a little - using the Speed ​​Force.

Because Hal Jordan sent him a message today, and he will go back to Earth today for a short vacation.

As a Green Lantern who is almost a semi-expatriate universe, Hal no longer has a piece of money for him to spend on Earth, and the room he rented was also extended for him for 3 months in Bari The contract was then officially rescinded, so Barry had to go home and pack up to entertain his rare friends back on Earth.

While planning everything, he thought about how long Hal could stay on Earth this time, and if it wasn't too long, it would be as good as squeezing in his room.

And one of his gossiping colleagues joked at him and said:

"Well, Barry, is your girlfriend coming today?"

"No, no, it's a friend, it's rare for him to come back"

"Oh? Friends?"

The colleague said in disbelief at all, because Barry seemed so happy, so in order to find out the truth, he decided to inquire about it in the name of sending Barry back.

Although running back was nothing to Barry, he couldn't refuse too much enthusiasm from his colleagues, and it was still raining today.

Barry was sitting in the co-pilot thinking about what to do for dinner, while thinking wildly, such as whether Hal can catch up with dinner or something, and unconsciously lost his mind, until his colleague's slightly weird language came:

"Huh? Friends?"

Barry didn't know, so when he followed his colleague's gaze, he found an unexpected visitor sitting in front of his room door.

"No, she's really just a friend, thank you for sending me back"

Barry didn't want to explain too much to his colleagues, so he hurriedly got out of the car and walked towards the woman who was sitting curled up under the eaves.

The drizzle of rain merged into thin water columns on the roof, and flowed down along the lines of the eaves, forming thin water curtains. Antana's petite body curled up under the veranda outside the door as much as possible to avoid the rain. , looks so helpless... Of course this is for people who don't know her well.

For the Flash——Barry Allen, this is just Antana's normal appearance. Anyway, she always sits with her legs curled up wherever she wants, and doesn't care about other people's eyes at all. The fact that Batman came here is notable in itself.

"Antana? Why are you here?"

Barry tried calling her name, praying that she hadn't fallen asleep from being too bored.

Lady Luck seemed to be on his side. Antana moved, barely turning her head slightly, her eyes leaking from her arms. Because they were covered by shadows, Barry couldn't confirm whether she was open or not. Eyes, but at least he appears to be awake.

"What's the matter, come in and talk"

While speaking, Barry took out the key and opened the door.

After he entered the room, Antana also moved into the room dawdly, looking around.

"How did you come here? Did Batman tell you my address?"

Batman knew everyone's identities, which was not surprising to Barry at all, but it was very strange that Batman would let Antana come to Central City alone to find him.

After putting all the things in his hand into the refrigerator, he still didn't get an answer from the people behind him, which made Barry a little strange.

"Antana?"

Barry watched Antana looking around his room like a curious baby.

"Come, sit here"

Barry pulled Antana, placed her on the sofa, squatted in front of her, and continued to ask in a good-tempered manner:

"Why did you come to me?"

Antana squinted only a slit of eyes, looked at Barry lightly for a long time and said:

"I ran away from home"

This answer took Barry by surprise, and his brain was thinking at super high speed whether the word run away had other meanings, whether Antana confused it with something or something, but thinking After a long time, Barry couldn't think of a more reasonable explanation.

In the end, Barry gave up thinking and asked Antana if there was anything he wanted to eat so that he could go out and buy some. Otherwise, based on the amount of food he and Antana had, I'm afraid Hal would do something even if he could make it to dinner. I can't even eat it.

"Antana?"

Barry looked strangely at the one who kept tilting his head after hearing his question, showing an obviously tangled expression...it should be tangled.

Oh my God, Antana actually has expressions, although her expressions are limited to two folds in the middle of her eyebrows, but this is enough to surprise Barry.

But Antana didn't know anything about Barry's emotions, but was still struggling with the question of whether to eat ice cream. Although she wanted to eat it very much, her stomach was always uncomfortable. She had never felt that kind of discomfort. But still want to eat.....

Seeing how Antana was fighting, Barry sighed and said:

"Think about it slowly, I'll go to the kitchen and get you some hot milk first"

Barry walked into the kitchen, took out a small pot to boil milk, and thought about when he held Antana's arm just now, he felt her body temperature was very low, and he didn't know how long she had been waiting outside.

When the sound of boiling milk came, he skillfully turned off the fire, and then belatedly remembered that he should call Batman first, after all, what Antana said was "run away from home", right? what?

Pressing the communicator in his ear, while patiently waiting for the signal connection, two slender fingers suddenly penetrated into his left ear, took out the communicator, and then turned it off skillfully.

"Antana?"

Barry looked at Antana's behavior in surprise, but what puzzled him even more was that he didn't even react to Antana's actions.

"I ran away from home"

Antana repeated it again in her trademark sleepy voice.

"..oh..I see, you don't want Batman to know you're here?"

Although Barry said so, he really didn't think Batman didn't know that Antana was coming to him.

Sure enough, within a moment, the phone at home rang, and the caller ID was an unfamiliar number from Gotham City.

Barry picked up the phone, glanced at the woman drinking milk in the corner of the sofa, and then moved to the kitchen before answering the phone. Unsurprisingly, Batman's iconic voice came from the other end of the phone:

"Is Antana with you?"

The concise and clear beginning explains his character.

"Yeah, she said he ran away from home, what happened?"

"It's nothing, I'll come pick her up later"

Then there was a hang-up sound from the phone, and Barry looked at the phone with raised eyebrows, expressing a little dissatisfaction with Batman's completely unconventional character.

But soon the phone rang again, it was still the same number, but this time it was the voice of Batman's butler Alfred:

"Master Barry, please remember not to give Miss Antana any frozen food, she has eaten too much ice cream and has diarrhea"

Hearing this, Barry immediately understood:

"So, you banned her from eating ice cream, and she ran away from home as a result?"

"Yes, young master, they may not go there until after the patrol, so during this time, Miss Antana will trouble you."

"Okay, it's okay if you come to pick her up tomorrow, and it's okay to let her stay with me tonight."

"Okay, I will pass it on to the young master, but I don't think he will change his mind"

"I see"

After Barry hung up the phone, he shook his head helplessly. It was impossible for that control freak to change his mind. Even if someone could do it, it must be the big blue guy in primary colors, not him.

When Barry returned to the living room again, he found Antana holding an empty milk glass and looking at him indifferently.

"What else do you want to eat? Someone is coming later, let's wait for him to eat together. Before that, you can have some other snacks"

Barry looked at the clock on the wall and realized that it was already past dinner time. He decided to wait for half an hour. If Hal hadn't come, then he wouldn't have to wait for him to eat.

"...ice cream"

The voice behind him made Barry sigh silently, becoming more and more afraid.

"Sorry, Antana, I don't have ice cream here, do I have a pack of butter cookies to eat? Although it can't compare with Alfred's cookies"

A box of beautifully made butter cookies was placed in front of Antana, appeasing Antana's vaguely expressed dissatisfaction, and also made Barry heave a sigh of relief.

Just then, the doorbell rang.

"Barry, I'm back!"

As soon as the door opened, a figure gave Barry a solid bear hug with a cheerful tone—Green Lantern, Hal Jordan.

After happily returning a hug, Barry welcomed Hal into the room, and then Hal, who had been chattering about his alien knowledge, finally found a person who should not have appeared in the room at all. The people here - Antana.

"Um?...Did I disturb you?"

Hal's magical imagination as always made him look at Barry with some embarrassment.

"No, Antana is only temporarily staying.. Depositing? In short, it's just for tonight"

In order to prevent Antana from hearing, Barry whispered in Hal's ear.

"..What happened?"

Hal also asked in a low voice.

"run away from home"

"what?"

Hal's active brain cells instantly began to perform various plots...

Looking at Hal's colorful face, Barry knew very well that this genius's mind had entered a new era, but he didn't want to correct his thinking mode at all, because it was purely useless work.

In the end, it was Antana's voice that interrupted Hal's mind about flying to another dimension:

"Who....No. 2"
