Title: Nobly Save or Meanly Lose
Series: Overprotective Criminals 'Verse
Fandom: CW's The Flash
Author: Batsutousai
Rating: Mature
Pairings: Barry Allen/Mick Rory/Leonard Snart, canon ships
Warnings: Established relationship, polyamory, canon-typical violence, pile 'o OCs, bigotry & hate-language, identity reveal, Barry wants to save everyone
Summary: Five times Barry Allen helps out other metahumans while out of costume, and one time he helps them as the Flash.
Disclaim Her: Not mine.
A/N: I started and binned the start of this fic a half-dozen times, ugh. It's a bit OC-heavy, sorry, because most of the canon metas are either enemies of the Flash, or else we've already met them as part of Barry's team.
The timeline stretches through the first season of the show, and into the potential start of the second; Wellsobard's will is brought up, but it can be assumed that was opened sooner than in canon, as Barry doesn't avoid everyone, legal attorneys included, once Len and Mick get him back to Central in this AU.
As a head's up, unlike the rest of this fic, the +1 is third person omniscient, because I wanted to be able to explain why the OCs react the way they do.
With thanks, as ever, to my lovely beta reader and cheering squad, StillNotGinger10.
This chapter follows directly after the events of A Distraction of Ice and Fire (this AU's alternate version of episode 10 Revenge of the Rogues).
It does include an OC being very anti-metahuman, with a side of internalised meta-racism in our titular OC.
