Bethany Allen had been on vacation since her return from New Dodge, a return she didn't want at all, and like all Superheroes on vacation, this meant she was trying for something like normalcy. Of course, normalcy here meant working her entry level job at the crime lab, getting herself a routine and hearing about a fire at a school that was raging out of control, simply because she happened to turn on the radio in her hide out.

Bethany being the girl she was, with the mindset she had in regards to saving people and making a difference, was quick to throw her suit on and get to the school to help out. She managed to rescue everyone inside the building and helped put the fire out. And then on the way home, she helped police with a high speed chase that involved a group of local thugs who'd decided to rob a small Mom and Pop corner store.

Soon after that? She prevented a break-in at a local jewelry store. Needless to say, by the time Bethany returned to her hide-out to change into her street clothes, she was tired. She was angry, she was no less distracted from missing Rocky and being angry that she was most likely not going to see him again ever. That was what had her upset the most since leaving New Dodge without warning. She'd promised him they were going to go to his world in October to meet his family and do a handfasting, with another wedding in New Dodge soon after for all the people they knew. Her weird brothers from other universes, Diana. Everyone.

And now she felt like the biggest asshole ever for leaving, even if it was beyond her control. Toying with the batarang had always been a sign of stress or annoyance and playing catch with it by herself? Probably even more so. It was one of the many things Rocky knew about her and if he were here, he'd probably say something ridiculous to get her to laugh out of her bad mood and that's one of a million things she loved about the gamer-wolf. In fact, she could almost hear some of the ridiculous things he'd say, but not quite enough to shake herself out of the mood she was in.

It's just her, her batarang, a pizza she ate most of before she even got a block down the street and about two dozen photographs on the wall from her time in New Dodge, three quarters of which had the aforementioned Gamer Wolf featured prominently.

This was a massive load of bullshit.

History:

Barry Allen AU: Bethany Allen.

Nothing much changes in regards to the history of Barry Allen, save that he instead was born a girl. Nora and Henry are still mom and dad. Bethany happily took dance lessons growing up while remaining a tomboy who likes getting into the dirt and playing rough. And, tragically, Mom still dies when she's young and her father is framed. She develops an obsession with forensic science and eventually goes to Central City College for forensic science with the hopes of joining the CCPD.

Eventually, she finds herself hunted down by none other than Bruce Wayne who asks her to help him and others defeat Steppenwolf and prevent him from obtaining all of the Mother Boxes. This proves to be very difficult as Steppenwolf is formidable and the group Bruce put together is quickly (but temporarily) defeated. They eventually revive Superman in the hopes that he'll help, getting caught up in a fight with a disoriented and angry Superman until eventually he remembers who he his, with the help of Lois Lane.

The entire team, now consisting of Wonder Woman, Superman, Batman, The Flash, Cyborg and Aquaman, discover Steppenwolfs plan to reunite the Mother Boxes in a small town in Russia. With Batman leading the Parademons away and taking down the shield surrounding Steppenwolfs location, Bethany is told to rescue the citizens of the nearby towns. She does so, with the help of Superman, even turning it into a bit of a competition with Beth pushing a truck and Superman carrying a whole building full of people, much to Bethany's delight and amazement.

Thankfully, Steppenwolf is finally defeated, his own fear causing his Parademons to attack him, giving Superman and Cyborg the chance to separate all of the Boxes and save the day.

It's a day or two after this where Bethany accepts Eli's offer and takes the Shuttle to New Dodge.

Does your character have any close ties to existing canon characters? To a degree, but not enough to worry about.

Why do you think your character would work in this setting?

Bethany is socially awkward, but also very prone to wanting to help. This is a settlement. This is a place where shit constantly happens. She will not hesitate to want to get her hands dirty and be the hero Bruce Wayne seems half-convinced she can be. Whether or not she's convinced remains to be seen, but there are people here. Decent people, and potentially family. She will do what it takes to keep the town safe and running.

How do you plan to expand their CR?

Again, she's socially awkward. But she has other hers here. She'll want to know who they know, and with that, she'll want to get to know the town in general and hope to god people are okay with how bad at finding peoples patterns and rhythms. Normal people are too slow for her, but if they can accept her for who she is, a quick thinking fast as hell girl, she can settle in and make friends. She needs friends.

What will your character do for work?

Probably work with deliveries somewhere. Other than that, I'm not entirely sure yet. Maybe see if there's a forensic science position somewhere.

Inventory:

A bag of clothes including her Flash suit, the batarang Bruce threw at her, a photo of herself and her parents before her mother died, an iPod full of K-pop, Imagine Dragons, and a variety of other music.

Hey, guys. All of you guys. My first group of friends. Listen, it was so cool being able to help you guys with Steppenwolf, but I need a vacation. I need to really wrap my head around the idea that I can do this. Don't get me wrong, I'm past thinking that I can't. But the thought that I actually successfully saved the world is a lot. So just give me some time. Okay? I'll be home soon and we can keep doing what we're doing. You won't even know I'm gone. You won't miss me, but I sure as hell will miss all of you. See you soon, Bethany
