THINK

Nobody knows everything, there is always things to be learned. There was a man who believed in the impossible, his name was Barry Allen.This man had to learn this lesson the hard way. Just because he was struck by lightning and gained super fast speed, reflexes, and recovery it does not make him a hero. It is what he does with it that makes him one. Anyways he ran to a friend for advice, the Green Arrow also known as Oliver Queen. The Green Arrow told him “Because you can inspire people in a way that I never could. Watching over your city like a guardian angel, making a difference, saving people in a flash”. A few months later Green Arrow was in Barry’s city and they fought crime together but Barry also known as Flash still had a lot to learn.

Oliver came to Central City in finding a murderer that used a boomerang. He stops in and helps the Flash and they team up to find each other’s criminal. Barry Oliver notices that Barry needs more training and gives it the way he knows how. Barry goes to an abandoned farm and meets up with oliver. They discuss what needs to learn but Barry won’t hear it saying it’s all good he has super speed. Oliver says being a hero it not about powers but discipline and training. To prove that oliver tells barry to run a little bit away and come back and get hit by an arrow. Barry runs striaght towards him while oliver shoots an arrow. Barry catches the arrow but Oliver was ready and had cross bows set up that shoot him in the back. Showing Barry that he needs to inspect scenes and not go in blind. A little upset about that The flash goes in to capture his metahuman alone and ends up getting affected by the power that makes people made and the meta gets away.

After Barry gets cured from his amplified anger, he realizes that he needs more training and needs to think and analyze more in fights or cases. He understands that he said things he can’t take back and that it was stupid to go in blind and without backup on with this meta. He learns that he needs to think before doing and it was thanks to Oliver for showing him and being there to help him. We as an audience can also learn something from this that we need to think before acting. If we do things just on a whim then we might do something short sighted and will regret. Also we have to watch what we say. If you just speak without thinking or a filter we will say things we regret and potentially hurt someones feelings. Everything has something to learn we just have to pay attention and think.

Barry Allen, the superhero named Flash gained a new new perspective of solving crime with super speed. He needs to cheek his surrounds before going into an active crime. He still has a lot to learn about being a hero and the best way to use his powers for the greater good. Also that he needs people to have his back, that he can’t do things alone.
