Anyways, enjoy!/


Wally's POV

I glance back at Edward as we reach my house.

"You ready? The only people that should be here are my parents and uncle," I tell Ed as I open the door.

"Ok," Ed says.

"Thank you. You didn't have to help us," Alphonse tells me.

"No problem. I'm glad to help," I tell them as I close the door behind me.

"Wally? Is that you," my mom ask from the kitchen.

"Yeah. I brought back some guest that need the league's help," I tell her as she enters the room.

"Oh? Hello. Do you need anything," my mom ask them.

"This is my mom, Mary West. She's wondering if you need anything," I tell them.

"Maybe some broth from Al, if she have any. I'm not all that hungry and I think we are fine with clothing," Ed ask.

"Alright," I say as I look at my mom. "This is Edward Elric. His brother Alphonse is on his back. They're fine, though Ed was wondering if you had broth for Al to have."

"Of course. I'll get him a bowl. Why don't you show them to the living room."

"Ok. Thanks Mom," I say as she heads back into the kitchen. "My mom is getting the broth now. We can wait in the living room. My uncle should be here soon."

"Ok. Is um...German, right? Yeah, is German not common around here," Ed ask as he place Alphonse on the couch.

"Not really. It's mostly spoken in Germany. You're in America, Central City to be exact. English is the common language here," I tell them.

"Then how do you know it," Ed ask me.

"I learned it. It helps to know the local language when you travel a lot," I explain.

"Ok. Is there a book that we can read to learn English," Ed ask me.

"I don't think we have one lying around the I could probably find a book for you guys," I tell them.

"That would be great. Thanks," Alphonse says as he smiles.

The doorbell rings and I stand up.

"That's probably my uncle. I'll be right back," I tell them as I head to the door. "I got it Mom."

I open the door to see Uncle Barry standing there.

"Hey Wally. What you need my help with," my uncle as me.

"Ok so..."


Edward's POV

"You think that they will be able to help us," Alphonse as me.

"Maybe. If not we can always research the answers," I say as Wally walks back in with a blonde hair man.

"Ed, Alphonse. This is Barry Allen. He's my uncle. Uncle Barry, this is Edward and Alphonse Elric. They are from a different dimension and need some help getting home. I thought that the League could help," Wally says as Barry smiles at us.

"It's nice to meet you. Wally, have you explained to them what the League does and who's in it," Barry ask him.

"I thought it would be better that you met them before I told them anything. Plus I'm not going to be telling them about it on the streets," Wally says.

"Alright. We'll do an overview of the League and us. Once we are done, feel free to ask us some questions. We might not be able to answer them all, but we could probably answer some," Barry says as he sits down.

Wally follows his uncle and I sit next to Al. Mrs. West enters with a bowl. She smiles kindly to us as she set it in front of Al.

"It's the broth that you asked for Alphonse," Wally explains after talking with his mother.

"Thank you Mrs. West," Al says as he reaches for the bowl and spoon.

"Here Al. Let me help," I tell my brother as I notice him struggling a bit.

I help Al take a spoonful of the broth. Al smiles as he swallows the broth.

"This taste delicious!"


Alphonse's POV

Wally and his uncle finish telling us about the league and what their job is.

"And that's all! So, you have any questions," Wall ask us.

"How fast can you run," Ed ask them.

"We can easily break the sound barrier."

"Interesting," Brother mutters.

"When will we meet the league? Also, is there a book that we can read to learn English? I think it would be better if we could speak the common language. It will make communicating easier," I say.

"I think I have one in my room. I'll go grab it," Wally says as he and his uncle stands up.

"I should be heading out. It's late and I got work to do. I'll also tell Batman about our guests and see if he knows a way to help you guys get home."

"Thank you. For everything. I don't know where we would be without you guys," I say.

"It's no problem. Glad we could help. I'll see you guys tomorrow. Have a great night," Barry says as he says goodbye to Wall'y parents.

he then leaves the house and Wally head up to his room to look for the book. he comes back down a minute or two later, holding three different books.

"Well, here they are. I used all three when I was learning German. If you need any help, you can ask me. Do you want me to show you to the guest room? You guys can stay there while we help you find a way home."

"Sure. You need help Al," Ed ask me as he stands up.

"Yes. Thanks Brother," I say as Ed place me on his back.

We then follow Wally as he leads us to the guest room. He places the books on the desk in the room.

"Here you go. If you need anything, I'll be helping my mom with dinner."

"Alright, got it."

Wally smiles as he heads towards the kitchen. Ed places me on the bed. He then grabs the books and joins me on the bed.

"Alright, you ready to learn a new language?"

"Yup! Let's do it," I say as I smile.

"This is gonna be a fun challenge," Edward says as we open the first book.
