Raven has always lived in Central city all her life. She works in the same New paper place as Iris does, as an advice columnist. And she is the best one around. But on the night of the Particle Accelerator went Kaboom, something had changed. And Rav...
I had done it again and stayed late at the station. I was about to use my speed and zoom home but the phone rang.
I walked over and I picked up the phone.
"Hello?" I said.
"Hi. This is Raven Montgomery. Two men tried to hurt me. Or they were going to." A young female voice said.
I could tell she was trying to get my words right.
She let out a sigh and said "Look, can you send some cops over here?"
I laughed lightly and said "Sure thing. What's you're location?"
"I'm on the corner of 18th street, east." She said.
"They're on their way." I said.
I chuckled and said "It's a good thing I decided to stay late tonight. I was on my way out when you called."
"Thanks, I think?" She said.
"So who am I even talking to?" She asked.
I laughed softly again.
"My name is Barry Allen." I said.
She then said "Well thank you Barry. I guess I owe you one."
"No problem." I said.
She said good bye and hung up.
I called Joe and told him where Raven was and that she needed help.
"Ok, Eddie and I are on our way." He paused and said "You still at the station?"
I sighed and said "Yeah. But don't worry about me."
"I always do and always will Barry." Joe said with a chuckle.
I laughed and he hung up. And I sped back home.
Raven's Pov
I did get that ride, in case you're wondering. I thanked them and then I walked down the hall and opened the door to my apartment.
It wasn't anything fancy. But it was pretty nice. Or at least I thought it was.

Iris and Joe visit from time to time. I visited them as well.
I took out my phone and sat down on my bed. There were three texts on it. They all were from Iris. I smiled to myself and I shook my head. I put my phone down and I walked to my wardrobe and I took out some pajamas. I changed into them and I went back to my bed.
I slipped under the covers and I picked up my phone and opened up the texts.
Iris: Raven, Eddie and I are heading to the movies tonight. You wanna come with us?
Iris: Raven? You there? Are you ok?
Iris: Raven, you're scaring me. What is going on? Are you alright?
I sighed and knew I'd get an ear full tomorrow about this. But deciding not to leave her hanging, I decided to respond back to her.
Raven: Hey Iris, Sorry for the near heart attack. There is nothing to worry about. I stayed longer at work than I planned to. Everything is alright. I will come visit you at work.
I turned my phone off and I let my hair out of its high ponytail and let it fall down. I combed through it and let it settle into soft curls. I put my brush down and I laid down on the pillow.
I closed my eyes and had pleasant dreams all night.
\\Morning\\
I woke up at around 9:00 am. I yawned and rubbed the sleepiness out of my eyes. I took the cover off of me and slipped my feet off the bed. I slipped them into my Darth Vader slippers and walked to my bathroom.
And yes people, I am a Star Wars fan. Not an overkill one, just your average kind of fan. I own a lot of Star Wars things but not an overkill amount.
Anyways, as I was saying, I walked into my bathroom and turned on my music. The theme song to the Mortal Kombat movie came on and I bobbed my head to the music as I brushed my teeth. I didn't own any makeup. I can't stand makeup. I don't even understand why a woman need makeup in order to be labeled as pretty or beautiful.
I walked back to my bed and grabbed my comb from my nightstand. I always forget to leave it in bathroom. I combed my hair and decided to leave it down and not style it in any way.
I slipped on some jeans and a black tank top and a nice white jacket. I made my bed and went to the kitchen and grabbed a banana and ate that.
I would have my muffin and hot chocolate at Jitters when I get there. I slipped my apartment keys into my pocket and I grabbed my wallet and slipped them into my other pocket. After locking my door, I slipped into the hall and called a taxi.
I stood outside and waited for the taxi. It came after about two minutes and I climbed on in.
"Where to?" He asked.
I looked up and I said "Jitters Please."
He gave a nod and drove into traffic. I sat back in my seat and I watched the buildings past as we drove through Central City. We soon made it to Jitters and I paid the man. I gave him more than what I needed to but I shrugged and I told him to keep the change.
I walked into Jitters and I right away felt a pair of eyes on me. I looked to the counter and I saw Iris staring at me. Her eyebrows down and a frown on her face.
Yup. She's upset with me. BIG time.
I sighed and I sat down at a table. She brought over my usual muffin and hot chocolate and stared at me. I took a bite of my muffin.
"I know what you are thinking." I said.
She raised an eyebrow and her face expression told me to continue.
"I stayed longer than I planned to at work." I said simply.
She sighed and said "There are such things as clocks. They are on our phones, walls and computers."
"Do you know how small they are? On a laptop or computer, I mean. They are barley noticeable when you are responding to thousands of people's letters." I said with a smile.
She laughed lightly and said "Ok, good point. But what about your phone or clocks on a wall?"
I took a sip from my hot chocolate and took a bite of my muffin. I looked at her and I smiled.
"First thing, Clocks on a wall aren't noticed like a computer or a laptops's clock. And second, My phone was on silent and in my pocket the entire time. I'm not suppose to have it on sound or vibrate while at work." I said.
I sat back in my seat and raised an eyebrow at her, urging her to say something back. But I could see that she had nothing to say back to that and I had won.
But I knew Iris. Give her a minute and she'll have another question to ask you.
