WHO: Barry Allen and Molly Carpenter WHAT: Barry broke his ankle WHEN: Backdated to this weekend WHERE: A snowdrift in an alley WARNINGS: TBD STATUS: Closed/Ongoing
Sitting in the snow, waiting for Molly to arrive, Barry was feeling very much the idiot. After all, he was The Flash, the daring superhero who confronted dangerous metahumans, who saved babies from raging infernos. Yeah, some superhero he was - brought down by a patch of ice and a snowdrift.
He'd heard and felt his ankle snap - it was hard not to.
The pain was coming in sharp waves that made him sick to his stomach when they broke over him...and standing up really, really wasn't an option. Sure, with his super fast healing he knew he'd be fine by morning, but right now morning seemed a very long way off.
Right now, about the only thing he had going in his favor was the fact that his ridiculously high metabolism meant that he couldn't feel the cold. And as he was sitting in a snowdrift, he was grateful for that.
Footsteps echoed off the walls of the buildings that lined the alley where he sat, and he breathed a sigh of relief.
