[Justice League] Earth 52

Letty and Barry first meet at a hospital.

As a CSI, Barry himself can be regarded as half a doctor. He can solve headaches, brain fever, minor injuries, and minor ailments by himself. Moreover, his professional characteristics are different from those of police officers on duty, and he seldom deals with criminals. When I grew up, I hardly ever went to the hospital.

Just this once, when he was conducting a second survey of the scene, he met the assailant who was wandering around and wanted to come back to find the hidden murder weapon. As a conscientious citizen in Midtown and an excellent policeman in the police station... well, maybe Fighting is not that good either, and of course Barry tried to stop the opponent from escaping before the reinforcements came.

Then, as expected, he got a sharp knife wound on his shoulder, was stuffed into the hospital, and had eight stitches.

"Maybe next time you act bravely, you should consider your abilities." The young female doctor replied without raising her head while filling out the medical form and returning Barry's clothes to him.

"..." Barry looked at his blood-stained shirt, which was cut open and could no longer be worn, and silently mourned the new dress he wore for the second time in his heart, while replying in frustration, "Actually, I It's a police officer."

"Are you a police officer?" The other party stopped writing for a moment, looked over the writing board to look at him on the hospital bed, raised one eyebrow, "Why don't you use a gun?"

"..."

"Civilian?" The other party seemed to have guessed the reason why he didn't speak, and asked again.

"..." Barry really didn't want to admit that he was the kind of police officer who wasn't qualified to hold a gun, so he just shrugged.

"Files? Evidence? Forensic? CSI? Well, CSI." The other party observed Barry's expression during a series of questions, and then came to a conclusion at the end, "Aha."

"..." Barry silently closed his mouth, waiting for the other party to express some 'high opinion'.Like their Director Singh usually does.

But he waited for half a minute and didn't get any more, so he raised his head, just in time to see the other party filling out the medical form, a pair of purple eyes lifted up from the writing board, looked at him inadvertently, and nodded "When your family comes to pick you up, you can leave after signing. Remember to remove the stitches when you come back." As a dedicated doctor, the other party explained a few words, then left the medical record at the end of the bed.

If Barry had been asked if he believed in love at first sight, Barry would have scoffed.But, the fact is that during this brief encounter, Barry remembered those purple eyes and saw the name on the name tag on the other's chest:

—Letty Carter.

Sounds like a nice name.

******

When Barry met Letty for the second time, it was really not a good day.

But then again, with Letty as a doctor and Barry as a policeman, there really wasn't a good day for their day-to-day work.

But that day was especially bad.

Because Barry's father died.

Everyone knows that people are going to die, especially when you grow up, and one of the things you'll have to face one day is sending your parents away.But when it happens to you, it's not so acceptable.

His mother had a hard time accepting this fact and cried very sadly.There was nothing Barry could do about it, because he couldn't adjust his mood himself.

The doctor who came to report the bad news was called by the nurse to rescue the next patient who might be saved. They were the only two of them sitting on the bench in the corridor. The patients and nurses came back and forth to express their sympathy for this sad family. glances, but no one stopped.

Finally, a person stopped, walked in front of them, patted Nora on the back, and softly asked Barry for advice, "Maybe you can go to my place. There is a cot and some hot tea, which will help stabilize the situation." mood."

"Oh, good." It took Barry three seconds to realize that the other party was talking to him, so he nodded and saw that those hands helped him to lift Nora up. He raised his head and met a pair of familiar eyes purple eyes.

But Barry didn't remember where he saw it right away, and his grief made him not in the mood to think carefully.He mechanically helped his mother and the female doctor into the office, and let Nora sit down on a simple rest bed. He stood there for a while, making sure that his mother would not faint from grief After that, he raised his head and began to think about other things. He turned his head and said to the kind doctor, "I have to go out, my father's..."

That's when Barry realized that the word was hard for him to say, that he still couldn't accept the fact that his father was gone.

"..." The other party nodded knowingly, and glanced at the old man behind him, "I will be here under no special circumstances, or..." The other party hesitated for a moment, and then asked cautiously, "Do you need me to go with you?"

"No, no, no need." To be honest, Barry wasn't sure if he could face that, but his mother needed help more than that, so he shook his head and looked behind him worriedly." Just, stay with her for a while, okay?" Barry was embarrassed to beg a stranger at this moment, but it was also at this moment that he had no other choice, and it would take a long time to ask his friend in the police station.

"No problem." The other party nodded, promised him, and showed him a comforting smile, which contained sympathy, understanding and care.

Suddenly, Barry looked at the nameplate on the opponent's chest: Letty Carter.Finally, he remembered the last time he met those purple eyes.

*****

After the funeral, the busyness and grief and the worries of caring for his mother finally overwhelmed Barry, who lay at home for three days with a fever.

What Nora thought was to find a doctor she knew, so she called Letty, which is why when he opened his eyes after being in a coma for a day, what he saw was the black-haired female doctor who was quietly comforting his anxious mother beside the bed .

After that, Nora and Letty got to know each other.

Barry is grateful for that, for bringing this family out of the shadows.

Coincidentally, Letty lived near them, only two blocks away.

One day when he was having dinner with his mother, Nora became concerned about the lifelong affairs of her eldest son on a whim.

"What's the girl in your department called? The one with the red hair?"

"Lola?"

"Yes, how is she? Isn't it great that you work together, you have common hobbies and ideals."

"Mom, I'm not the one she likes."

"Many girls are so perfunctory to me." Nora brought a plate of dishes to the table, looked at her son, and suddenly thought of someone, "Then, how is Letty?"

"..." Barry choked on the bread and didn't speak.

"..." Nora keenly sensed some information. She raised one eyebrow and looked at her guilty son, but said nothing.But I kept a silent memory in my heart.

Barry had a crush on Letty, but he wasn't sure if it was love, because as far as he knew he didn't have any big feelings for Letty.What's more, he also knows what kind of virtue he is. He works overtime every day until he has no friends, so he doesn't think he can keep the girl's heart.

However, one day, something really made him realize something.
