Friends and Enemies.
Bart tickled Joanna's stomach as he lay her in her crib. He loved his daughter more than anything. The only thing he loved as much as Joanna was Oliver. And Lois had Oliver and Lois hated Bart. He smiled as his daughter's eyes finally closed. She had taken a long time to go to sleep tonight. He walked down the stairs and into the kitchen. Bart was starving.
"Lois? I didn't think you and Oliver had a date tonight."
"We don't. I wanted to surprise him."
"Oh well. He's working late."
"I know. I'm waiting for him."
Lois watched the young man as he looked around the cupboards looking for food with a baby monitor on the counter beside him. She had seen how Oliver looked at Bart with lust in his eyes at times. Other times there wa s love. The blonde wasn't aware of his feelings yet, but Lois didn't want him to realise them. Imagine the shame if Oliver left her for a boy.
"Bart. We need to talk."
Bart sat down acoss from Lois, crisps and cookies in one hand, the ever present baby monitor in the other. He didn't like her but Oliver did.
"Look Bart. I'm not blind. I've seen how you look at Oliver. You clearly have feelings for him. But you are a child. And do you really think a young, wealthy man like Oliver wants the responsibility of a child Joanna's age."
"But he let us move in."
"Because he has no responsibility even with you and her here. I mean how often has he held her or lay her down to sleep?"
"He has held her lots of times."
"But you know he'll never be with you. You'll never have his children or marry him. Me on the other hand, I have a very big chance of that happening."
Bart looked down at the table. He felt tears form in his eyes, but didn't try to stop them.
"You're right."
He stood up and walked to his room. Lois was right. Oliver woul never want him. He was too young and inexperienced. And Joanna was a lot of responsibility. Who was he kidding? Oliver would never want him.

"You want to help me capture Bart Allen and his child?"
"Yes."
"Why?"
"Because Mr. Luthor. I want my son back."
