Arrow (TV 2012)+1
by ladyofpride
As a freshly minted CSI graduate, Barry intends to make good on his promise to solve the mystery surrounding his mother’s untimely death. However, since the man in the lightning has yet to make an appearance in well over a decade, Barry decides to take up work in the one city with cases just as unusual as Nora Allen’s murder, if for no other reason than to get a little experience under his belt. That city is Gotham.Being young and naïve in the GCPD doesn’t do a guy many favours though, especially when you’re a goodie-two-shoes like Barry Allen, working day-in and day-out to solve a series of gruesome murders. In fact, it isn’t too long before someone decides that Mr. Allen is due for an unfortunate accident of his own...That is, until that crazy new lunatic, the ‘Batman’, intervenes…((An AU origin story of sorts, prior to the lightning strike, where Barry Allen starts his foray into the world of crime fighting in a rather unorthodox manner, although still under the mentorship of someone as equally broody as the Arrow…))
