Since starting his new job at the High School, Barry had appreciated weekends more than ever. Anyone who thought teaching was an easy job was utterly insane. Dealing with that many kids every day, for weeks at a time was exhausting, especially when most of them didn't have even a fraction of the interest that he did in science. Most of them were in there because they had to be, and wanted to do as little work as possible to get through. Some of them didn't even care if they passed, which was exceptionally frustrating.
So weekends had become sacred. They were his few hours away from the stress and anxiety of herding cats and trying to teach them science.
This morning he'd gone for a quick jog (even by Barry's standards), and was now at Walmart to pick up some more pencils for his students. He had come to the conclusion that they actually ate them. It was the only thing to explain how many pencils he went through in a week.
Coming to the counter, he noticed a young woman who looked familiar. He was pretty sure he'd never talked to her before, but he was also pretty sure that she was a friend of Pietro's. Natasha, he thought. Being a friendly guy, Barry went up to her with a warm smile.
"Hey," he said. "You're a friend of Pietro's, right? I'm Barry Allen."
