There are just some people in this world that seem to glow.

Growing up in a literal apocalyptic wasteland Bart Allen hadn’t seen many positive people. Most broken by the hardships of the world around them.

In fact, he had started to believe true happiness was just fake. A way to lie, prove to others you could be trusted, you had something to sell.

That was until he met Gigi.

So many moments her joy caught him off guard. Seemed so pure it blinded him to look at.

“Wee woo weee woo coming through!!!” Faith’s voice echoed across the base as Gigi carried her on her back into the base. The red-haired girls left arm was twisted around her best friend’s leg as of acting as a cast. Both girls covered in some weird oil stuff.

“What happened!??” Dick asked walking in as Gigi helped her best friend onto a stretcher.

“A lot,” Faith said shaking her head small oil bits flying everywhere. Gigi couldn’t help but laugh.

“Yeah, I sling-shot Faith from the rafters.”

“Which didn’t break my foot,”

“Yeah, that didn’t happen until the one guy started shooting that oil stuff out of his hands.”

“I slipped.”

“It was the most graceful fall I have ever seen.”

“Yep, I did a handstand and then my feet flew over me and I tried to catch myself and… you get the idea.”

“I’m not sure I do but let’s get you fixed up.” Dick chuckled slowly rolling her away. Turning Faith waved at Gigi who waved back. Slow and dramadic, two best friends being separated by circumstances beyond their control. Who knew when they would ever see each other again, who knew what was in store for them.

Besides a cast and probably a late night of movies and ice cream that is. That, of course, was inevitable.

“Hey, you guys ok?” Bart asked coming up behind Gigi as she stood alone in the large base’s “I heard things got kind of tricky.”

Gigi giggled turning to him giving him two thumbs up, that large smile that seemed to spread across her whole face, “yep, Faith and I can totally take on any baddies they throw at us. But thank you for asking, it’s super sweet of you to ask.” she said gently putting her hand on his arm. Genuine, that was what Bart always felt with her. She was so genuine with her emotions and feelings. Especially the positive ones. Mostly the positive ones.

Looking back Bart wasn’t sure he had ever seen her upset.

Did she even get up?

“Oh, almost I almost forgot, we are doing a movie night with Jamie, Adi, Tim, and Conner.”

“Isn’t Conner out?”

“Is he? I haven’t texted anyone yet, Faith and I just decided we were on our way back.”

“Well count me in!”

“YAY! I love hanging out with you and watching movies with everyone. I should make snacks, oh and I can’t forget to text them like last time. And Icecream, I hope they restocked the ice cream...”

That energy, it was infections, it made Bart’s whole body buzz. It was almost like when he was running, the world seemed to fade around him and all he could focus on was the feeling. That feeling of being free, as if all the horrible things were just blurs on his peripheral.

“Hey?”

Bart came crashing to a halt the world pulling him back with one word. Gigi was standing in the hallway toward the kitchens her back twisted so half of her was facing him. “Are you coming?”

“Oh yeah... I didn’t. Yep!”

---------

“Does it hurt?” Adi asked leaning forward gently poking Faith’s cast. The brunette let out a yelp making Adi jump back clutching her hand looking shocked and upset that she could have possibly caused her friend pain.

Faith burst out laughing, “Sorry sorry no it doesn’t hurt, itches a little but that’s it.”

“I brought markers so we can all sign it!” Gigi sang handing Adi an orange one and Jamie and blue one.

“And Bart gets red and Faith gets yellow.”

“I’m going to sign my own cast?”

“Of course!” Gigi giggled holding up her pink marker “Now my losers SIGN! SIGN!”

-----------------

Glowing, that was what Gigi was. Glowing. So pure and bright sometimes Bart felt like he couldn’t even look at her. The pure joy and wonder that she seemed to exude from her very being.

Wonder, she seemed to have this way about her that made you see the amazement in everything around you. As if the most normal things could be magical. Like signing a cast.

Getting to help out on a mission with the leaguers.

“One step closer to being like Willow.”

“I’m pretty sure Willow isn’t part of the League.”

“She should be leading the league.”

“FREAK!”

Gigi froze as turning as a napkin hit her in the back of the head. Faith frowned glancing over at her friend as a stout looking woman pointed at Gigi.

“What did you just say?” Faith asked, if Bart didn’t know any better he could have sworn he saw her hair hand up on end.

“Her, mutant!” the woman spat at Gigi, “We don't want your deceased kind’s help here! You could infect us all!”

“That’s now how that…”

Bart was cut off as the woman threw her drink at Gigi splashing her soda all over the red-haired girl.

If Bart wasn’t a speedster he probably wouldn’t have caught it. Luckily for the woman (and probably Faith) he could. Yes, the small brunette was quick but he was quicker. Just as she lunged at the woman shouting some very unseemly comments Bart spun her around picking her up.

“How dare you! BART! Let me go!” More curses and something about the woman dying alone unloved as Gigi gently touched Bart’s arm.

“Let’s just go ok?”

“Cook, not sure how long I can hold this one anyway,” Bart grunted as Faith squirmed in his grip trying to break free.

Once they were away from the crowd and Faith had quieted down to a mumble (Bart was pretty sure he heard something about the bat computer and covering the woman’s house in shaving cream.) Bart turned to Gigi.

Up to this point she had been oddly quiet. Something the bright red-haired girl rarely was.

Quite.

As if feeling his eyes on her she turned. Her smile was soft but no less bright. A warm glow that spread across her body reassuring him as if he was the one who had just been slandered against.

“My sister once told me anger is just ignorance. They are really mad because they don’t understand.” letting out a small laugh she played with a strand of her hair her gaze falling on Faith who was texting someone on her phone. “So who cares what they think, the people who matter to me like me for who I am.”

There it was, that beautiful glow. As bright of the sun itself. Shining around her as she smiled up at him. “You guys are the most important to me.”

He was pretty sure his heart stopped right then and there.

Or maybe it was at that moment that he had just seen inside her soul. How she was always so happy and full of life. How she glowed in a way that seemed to spread to those around her, how she seemed to be able to put anyone at ease. How she brought joy in the whole world around her.

It was because of them.

“MAN! Fuck that B in the A! And also FUCK TIM! He said we couldn’t fill that ladies house with skunk urine. Something about using our powers for evil… more like pure good if you ask me. So much for the smartest boy or whatever.” Faith said turning around to look at them. In her rage, she had passed them by several feet and was now holding up her phone shaking it at them as if they could solve her problem for her.

Gigi giggled leaking into Bart squealing his hand before skipping up to Faith throwing her arms around her best friend.

“You know what sounds good to me? Ice Cream and video games.”

And watching the two girls talk Bart realized something. Since he had met Gigi, he may have started glowing too.
