Chapter 103
Barry had decided that it was time to bury an old hatchet, since with the threat of Zoom approaching, he needed to make sure he had enough people he trusted behind him, even if the person he was going to meet with wasn't a metahuman anymore.
He walked up to the door and took a deep breath as he knocked on the door.
"It's open." A familiar voice said as Barry opened the door to see Ralph Dibny in all his pre Elongated glory.
"Allen, what the hell brings you to my neck of the woods?" Ralph asked angrily.
"First off, I wanted to apologize for ruining your life." Barry said.
"Really." Ralph said.
"Look, I'm not going to apologize for turning you in, after all, you did break the law." Barry said.
"I don't think you understand how an apology works rookie." Ralph said.
"Let me finish." Barry said and Ralph sighed.
"But I am sorry that I didn't think about the possible repercussions you'd face. I thought that the law was sacred, but I realize now that you were just doing what you thought was right. Even if you wrong. But I am sorry for all the problems my actions caused you, since while I was doing what I thought was right, I shouldn't have been so quick to condemn you." Barry said.
"Well, I appreciate that Allen, but it doesn't change anything. It doesn't get me back everything you cost me." Ralph said.
"Actually, I think I can offer you something." Barry said.
"Like what, you hiring me for a case?" Ralph asked.
"Not exactly. I recently inherited Star Labs and since it's becoming a big hit so quickly, I could use a new head of security. Someone I know will get the job done. It's steady consistent work and you'll get paid a pretty high salary on a monthly basis." Barry said.
"Benefits included?" Ralph asked.
"Within reason." Barry said.
"So, you'd be my boss?" Ralph asked.
"You don't have to like me to take my money Ralph." Barry said.
"I'll think about it." Ralph said and Barry nodded as he handed Ralph a business card.
"If you decide to take the job, call this number." Barry said and Ralph nodded as Barry moved to leave his office.
"Allen." Ralph said, causing Barry to turn to face him.
"Yeah?" Barry asked.
"Thanks." Ralph said and Barry nodded as he left the office.
At the same time, Kara was getting ready to leave her office for one of the first reporting jobs she'd done since she'd taken over Catco and the only reason she was doing it herself is because of the nature of the story and she wanted to make sure it was done fairly and and nicely.
"Kara, you off somewhere?" James asked.
"Yeah, doing an article on a new business coming to Central City and due to the company that it's for, I thought it would be best to make sure it was done in the least biased way possible." Kara said.
"Really, what company?" James asked.
"L-Corp." Kara answered.
"What? Kara, how can you of all people not be biased about that company?" James asked.
"Because unlike you, I choose to judge people by their own merits, not their families. From what I've heard, ever since Lena Luthor took over, L-Corp has become a true force for good. I'm meeting with the executive running the new Central City branch." Kara said.
"They reached out to you?" James asked.
"Actually, I reached out to the executive when I got word. I thought a piece by Catco would help assure the public about L-Corp coming to Central City. Feel free to come with. I wouldn't mind a photographer." Kara said.
"You know, I might just take you up on that offer." James said.
"Good, grab your camera." Kara said and James nodded.
