With a bright smile on his face, Barry continues to walk around Gotham with enthusiasm. He has read about this city in comics, and seen it in multiple movies, so how could he not be excited seeing it in real life?
Gotham is probably the most famous fictional city in his past life, and now he lives in the world where it is situated.
So Barry zoomed around the city visiting some of the famous places in Gotham. He already saw Wayne Enterprise. He checked out Gotham Academy on his way to Arkham Asylum.
Standing a distance from the asylum, Barry felt as if he were looking at a haunted castle.
"Just looking at it gives me the creeps," Barry says and wonders which of Batman's famous rogues might be locked up inside. He already knows that Joker's not inside since he escaped.
'Let's get out of here before somebody spots me,' Barry thinks and disappears in a blink.
He then visits the Iceberg Lounge, a famous nightclub owned by Oswald Cobblepot, aka Penguin. Since it's a nightclub, he can't go in right now.
Barry then goes to check out Wayne Manor. Knowing how vigilant Batman stays, he doesn't stick around and just runs past the Manor to see where the famous Bruce Wayne lives.
'I wonder how a real-life bat cave would look,' Barry thinks while running fast.
Barry takes a few more minutes running around the city, checking everything he can, and also helping a few innocent people who were being victimized on the way.
Though only a few minutes for the rest, a long time for Barry.
Hours later, Barry finds himself a nice cafe to sit down and drink some coffee, trying to get over a few things.
He thought about Caitlin, and how a potential romance could be, ended before it even started.
As he thinks about it, Barry smiles. Sure, it stings a little to be rejected by the girl you like, but Barry is different now. He is a whole other person. He is not going to wait for someone who is not available. He is going to move on because there are infinite worlds out there and infinite possibilities, and as a flash, he is able to do a lot of things.

Someone else in the city. A man looks at the massive screen in front of him with a frown on his handsome face.
He was notified of multiple reports about citizens of Gotham City being saved in an instant.
He also saw Selina being caught by the GCPD, which is a shocker because he doesn't see a single scenario where the GCPD is able to catch the Catwoman when she is in action. She plans all her robberies meticulously and is highly skilled in getting away.
She has even managed to shake off the Batman from her tail multiple times.
The man slowly switches through multiple videos from around the city until he finally sees something. A single flash of lightning was caught in a single frame of a video. It was enough for the man to conclude what was happening in his city, and he soon got to work.

Barry decides to stay the night in Gotham as he wants to see what Gotham is like at night. Gotham is a city that comes to light at night. Just how alive? Barry will have to witness it by himself.
He did make sure to inform his team, and Joe, that he is away from the city to take a break for himself, but he didn't tell them that he is in Gotham.
And if there is really an emergency, he can always run back in super speed.
Barry rents a room in a local hotel to stay the night. He gets out of the bathroom with a towel wrapped around his waist, his ripped muscles in full display.
He walks up to a mirror to dry himself when he suddenly sees a reflection of a man standing on his window.
Barry immediately taps into his Super Speed and looks at the man in the reflection.
The man is tall and muscular, but it's his clothing that's very eye catchy.
A black cowl with two pointy ends, a full-body black suit with the symbol of a bat on the chest, armored gauntlets and boots, and a long black cape.
'It's fucking Batman,' Barry thinks.
Though Gotham is Batman's city, Barry wasn't sure if he would see Batman because in the TV show Batman never appeared, but he was also not one hundred percent sure that Batman doesn't exist because his other half told him that this world is not the same as he saw in the TV show.
'Okay, calm down and talk to him. I have no idea why he is here. Well, I may have some idea as to why he is here,' Barry thinks and gets out of Flash Time and turns to look at Batman with a shocked face, trying his best to act shocked.
"HOLY SHIT, IT'S BATMAN! YOU ARE REAL!" Barry says, shouting while pointing at Batman.
"Why are you here?" Batman asks with his raspy, deep voice.
"Ah..I..I...I didn't do anything, I don't know what you are talking about," Barry says trying his best to keep his act up.
Batman gives Barry his signature death glare making Barry gulp. He now understands why all those heroes and villains shut their traps once Batman glares at them. The dude is intimidating as fuck.
Though Barry is a thousand percent sure, he would woop Batman's ass. He doesn't want to do it because he is a good guy.
"Stop pretending. I know who you are," Bayman says entering Barry's hotel room.
