Meet The Wells - Harry Wells Fic

Tv Show: The Flash

Setting: Season 4

Pairing: Harrison ‘Harry’ Wells x Leanna ‘Lea’ O’Conner

Featuring: One of the best characters on the show, Cisco Ramon!

—-

The morning everything pretty well. Team Flash was doing their usual work at S.T.A.R LABS. Discussing lunch breaks, new metas they possibly discovered, new experiments to create and plans for the weekend. That was until Harry mentioned friends.

Cisco sat up, “No he’s delusional. That’s because the lack of sleep he’s has been having. Uh, Harry friends are in here!”

Caitlin looked at Barry, who stood there confused, guessing that he’s being sarcastic.

“I got friends other than you guys! You will meet them.” Harry respond, siping his morning coffee.

Cisco gave his second girl a look and asked, “Lea help.”

“I-i know nothing about this.” Lea admitted with her hands up in defense.

“Ramon, believes i don’t got any friends. When i clearly do.” Harry yelled and sighed, typing away on his keyboard, “You told me to go make some friends, right?”

Cisco yelled back, “Yeah but last time i checked, you don’t have any friends besides us!”

Leanna who was tinkering with her tools looked up and nodded, “Yup! I did tell you that. Actually I’m curious to meet your friends, but I gotta hand some paperwork over to Joe first.”

She stood up, giving her boyfriend of 3 years now, a quick kiss on the cheek, in which Harry wraps his hand around her waist pulling her in for one more starling kiss. Clearly he was excited for today.

——

Cisco and Harry were in the speed lab being introduced to their scientific ragtag team of friends. But it wasn’t what Cisco suspected Harry’s friends to be. One of them even practically threw Cisco Ramon out of the speed lab for being annoyed and offended. Lea walked in, confused onto why her best friend ran out of there but her confusion came to a pause after what she see saw.

There stood right in front of her brown eyes the doppelgängers of Harrison Wells. Not 1, not 2, but 3 Harrison Wells in the speed lab. And if add Harry, that makes 4! In total stood 4 very different variants of Harrison Wells, going from one with gray hair and a turtleneck to one with war general uniform like he just lost an eyeball for God’s sakes.

She didn’t know to laugh at how insane this is or internally whine about this little endeavor being oddly weird for her. But at the same time she was very much integrated into this new situation. She met versions of Wells beforehand but this was completely different. Before she can even say a word or pull together another set of thoughts, when a voice called out to her. More or less a catcall followed by a cheeky whistle.

“Who is this little beauty queen? She’s finer than a flower on a summer morning!” Yelled out a rusty almost burnt blonde Wells in a red rode and slippers.

Lea didn’t realize they were staring at her that moment, quickly fixing her dark gray shirt with tiny daisies scattered all over and dark jacket she borrowed from her friend, Caitlin Snow, earlier that week. She firstly mouth a small “What the fuck?” to Harry as he jogged over swiftly taking her hand with ease. The man was clearly excited about this.

“Honey, come meet my new friend!” He exclaimed holding a grin, returning back to earlier spot but this time with her next to him, “This is Harrison Wolfgang Wells, H. Lothario Wells and Wells 2.0. Men, this is Leanna O’Conner.”

All 3 of them smiled at the lady. Wolfgang Wells stayed wondering his eyes at the brunette, as if he trying to pin point something in particular.

Lea had to just smile politically for the 3 idiots to go sight seeing on her, if allowed. Without a second later the women dragging Harry out into the hallway for a quick chat.

“Harry, honey, what the hell?!” She whispered yelled.

“What the hell? What do you mean ‘what the hell?’?” He whispered yell back.

“Are you out of your mind? Have you officially lost your marbles?!”

“You asked me to make some friends and that’s exactly what I did!”

“When I told you to make friends, I didn’t mean with yourself!”

“They’re technically NOT me! They’re my double hitting doppelgängers from other earths and one of the biggest baddest brightest mind out there.”

“Again! There’s literally 3 of you in that room, all three of them ready to make goo goo eyes at me and oh yeah, one of you is enough but a friend group of Wells that’s just—”

“Sweetie I can handle this. There is nothing to worry about, they’re just charming and intelligent people with different kinds of backgrounds. It’s gonna go great. I promise.”

“You promise? Cause—”

“Lea it’s fine! I got this.”

————

Once the couple walked back in, Lea announced the plan with Harry, but the second they all heard her voice they looked at her like 3 somewhat trained dogs. Harry had to scuff down a laugh, snorting a smidge.

Sandy hair blonde Wells aka H. Lothario Wells, grinned at her. He found her pretty and said, “Say, gorgeous you got any sisters? Or are you free this Sunday night?”

She blushed chuckling as she shook her head ‘No’ as Harry face them with a glare saying that Lea was HIS girlfriend. So hands off fellas!

Wells 2.0 spoke up, “I had a Lana on my earth…”

“Really? How was I like?” Lea asked, her eyes perked up curious about the answer.

“I wouldn’t know, she died or was it that she left the country? Oh well, i don’t remember! Ladies on my earth aren’t as nice looking as you.”

——————

The four of them kept talking, mainly Harry and his doubles, Lea just stayed sitting back writing on her iPad a few notes on an old equipment and equations. She listened every once in a awhile to their conversation, walking in and out of the lab to other part of the building or heading down to Jitters for some java.

Blowing a kiss to all 3 copies of Wells as she left. All of them stayed with a loopy and cheeky smiles after that. Harry Wells was the lucky one, he actually got a kiss of the cheek.

Returning with a coffee for her boyfriend, after handing one to Caitlin and Cisco she heard it. “Annie..” said the voice. It belongs to Wolfgang Wells, who staying eyeing her for the moment due stepped into the room in the first place. She rarely heard that nickname tossed around but it been said plenty of times beforehand. Only Cisco or Barry will throw that nickname out.

“That’s Leanna, not Annie, can you believe this guy fellas?” Replied Sandy Wells with a chuckling, figuring his doppelgänger was nuts in the head or something.

“No, Annie O’Conner..” Wolfgang Wells said once again with curiosity and confidence in his tone.

“Yeah he’s right.” Lea confirmed his wording, “Did you know a version of me, on your Earth?”

“My wife.”

“We’re married?”

Harry’s eyes darted towards them, mumbling, “You married a verison of her? When?”

“Yeah but I left her. Too much of a handful.” Wolfgang said with a shrug.

Lea gasped, “HANDFUL? I will have you know that I’m not a handful, you guys are. No offense, Harry..”

Wolfgang snickered, “You sound like her too! I left her cause we fell out of love, she was too uptight and I was too busy to care.”

“OUCH!”

“But I think still love her very much. Still, love is love. I think we all got a verison of this lady on our earths, right?”

Sandy Wells chuckled, “Mhmmmm! I do. She’s my 2 A.M bootycall. Speaking of which…”

Just like that, blondie wells was gone saying he got business to take care of. Leanna jaw dropped, meanwhile Harry held back a little smile, grabbing everyone’s attention back to the matter at hand.

All 3 men went back to work. But the looks Wolfgang and 2.0 didn’t go unnoticed, glancing at the half Asian brunette every once in a while. Both men saw something in her, and they liked it. Harry had to snap their towards himself instead and looping a hand on his girlfriend’s waist to signify that once again she’s taken!

The men were talking over one another and bickering more often than not about the topic. Honestly it was kinda hilarious.

Cisco walked in soon enough with a smile, “Soo Council Of Wells, how are we doing? Any progress or we just chitchatting about who’s smarter?” 

Leanna chuckled at the last part, because half of it was true.

Harry on the other hand groaned in annoyance, “It’s not going anywhere! We can’t even agree on what method to use.”

“What? You had an entire day.”

“I know! I know!”

“Is it cause Lana is distracting them?”

This time Lea spoke up, “HEY! Right here you know?! First we’re complimenting me, then you’re treating me like a diamond in the rough and now you’re insulting me?! What is it? Leanna Day and I didn’t get the memo?!”

“Well welcome to my life, girlfriend! Theses guys love to do the same thing to me! Ain’t so easy, isn’t it?” Cisco repiled back, tossing her a glare.

“Ohhh, so this is the way your framing this, huh?”

“I guess so, Annie!”

“Cisco I swear—!”

“Wait?”

“What?” Harry asked.

“Isn’t there a 3rd one? Isn’t there 3 of—”

He pointed out there was only 2 Wells standing there, not the original 3 from the beginning of the day. Harry was about to say something about it but as if on cue, Sandy haired Wells reappeared with a cheeky grin blabbing on about something.

Sandy turned toward the trio with a smile, “Oh sorry! Had to take care of some off camera business—”

“OHH MY GOD!” Cisco shouted holding a hand, covering whatever it was he didn’t want to see.

This Wells had his pants down, showing everything his mother gave him. Harry tried to looked away, his face accidentally saw it. Leanna just blinked, gasping as she turned around burying his face in her boyfriend’s black shirt.

“What?” Asked Sandy Wells softly , confused.

“I can see your Frank and beans.” Said Wolfgang, looking rather uncomfortable.

“Come on, now. Do my best thinkin' commando,” Sandy defends himself with a shrug, “Plus, it ain't like we all haven't seen it before. Especially, you little missy.”

“I haven’t seen it!” Cisco yelled, sounding funny and offended by the fact.

He shoots a wink Leanna’s way and she feel like she can’t help but peek her face towards all the men in the room. She saw so much more than clearly expected today! Like Jesus Christ! She rested her head, still sorta hiding her face in her boyfriends shirt.

She didn’t look confident or heroic in that moment.

Harry placed a comforting hand on her head, holding his lady while smiling at her embraced blushing and embarrassment.

Cisco held back a couple of laughs, “Aww! You’re traumatizing the poor girl! But seriously, dude put that away..please.”

Wolfgang agreed with Cisco for once.

“Ah, you Earth Folks. You are so uptight.” Sandy replied pulling up his pants.

“Ah, alright! Can we get back to the take at hand? We need answers.”

Suddenly all men started throwing out suggestions left and right, speaking over one another not allowing Cisco nor Harry to keep a full sentence in.

Lea’s ears were ringing loudly and she groaned in annoyance, “Okay! That’s enough!”

“Enough? We’re just getting started!” Add 2.0 Wells, in which causing another explosion of words being thrown around.

Clearly Harry was losing it having enough of this shit and yelled, “Guys! Guys! Ga—gentlemen!” Grabbing all their attention he continued, “Clearly this isn’t working. And just for the record, it’s not me, it’s you.”

With a simple push of a button, all three holograms disappeared, leaving the trio to themselves.

“This, was a bad idea.” Harry said walking back, placing his hands on his girlfriend’s shoulders whispering, “You okay?”

“It’s like your junk was burnt into my brain.” Cisco answered instead.

“Your welcome.”

Leanna did not answer or add into the previous statement, just walking out with a hand covering her ears silently. Harry and Cisco shared a tired look, figuring something bothered her..

——

Him and Cisco were talking for a bit, the genius still grumbling about what happened. That he needed to accept the facts and himself, since they are technically his doppelgängers but still. He didn’t truly like it too much.

Until he found her.

Harry found his girlfriend in his lab, scribbling in a notebook wearing her noise canceling headphones, that both him and Cisco carefully crafted her due to her meta human abilities, and playing with her bangs.

He sighed, knowing she was flashed today and practically felt just as insulted as he was. But because Leanna was more of a sensitive soul in the relationship, rather busy lately with Iris’s wedding planning, and helping the team with their issues. Along with the overheating bickering wasn’t probably too pleasant to her ears.

He winced, taking a marker to the whiteboard and tapping it against the clear sided screen. Harry walked over to her, tapping her shoulder and simply asked, “Hey, are you alright?”

“Hm?” She asked, removing her headphone registering what he said and chuckled, “Oh! Yeah honey I’m fine.”

“Isn’t that my line? Lea, honey, what happened? You kinda snapped at them.”

“Yeah well, so did you!…I, uh, umm wasn’t expecting today. Part of me knew something was gonna happen! I felt like I was being pulled left and right. I mean 4 Wells in one room, that’s overwhelmingly surprising and kinda chaotic..no offense.”

“None taken! They are just huge self minded, idiots. Uptight, roughly insulting, snooty and just jerks. I—I didn’t think it would go like that! Hell they flashed you and choose to make eyes at you the whole time. Treated you like you were an prize to be won and be thrown away…no one was paying attention to anything and just talking over one another! Jesus…”

Leanna stayed quiet hearing him rant about how he felt about the situation and the protection his mind created, recognizing things she didn’t notice until now. It made her feel better, knowing that she got the best Wells in the multiverse. All he wanted was to make some more friends and figure out a way to help with his teammates issues.

But instead, he realized that rather became a host and solid choice for a complete conversation than the other guys. He also felt sorta good about himself being one to unlock the door to an O’Conner’s heart unlike his counterpart.

“I uh, don’t take you for granted, you know?” Harry said, with a soft grin.

“I figured as much. You stayed.” She replied with a tired smile.

“Wolfgang had a version of you then lost you, 2.0 Wells was just gah not—the best thing with women and uh, Lothario was something else where uh, you know!”

Lea chuckled and nodded, “Oh I know! I..I know!”

Harry couldn’t help but laugh, “But in all seriousness, Leanna I love you and I’m so sorry you had to deal with that—us, today.”

“I’ve been part of Team Flash for so long, where something like that shouldn’t surprise me but it did. It was chaotic chapter for the books, but I really hope that doesn’t happen again!”

“It better not! I can’t take another moment with those guys. They’re one of the most annoying minds of the multiverse!”

“Harry, honey..”

“What?

“Thank you.”

“For what?”

She stood up from her chair, wrapped her arms around his middle and looked up at the man gently grinning. He looked down at her, placing a hand on the small of her back, smiled softly confused since she left her second line incomplete.

“For being you! You came to this Earth and took it as it is, trying to help it. And those idiots, didn’t have to FaceTime us but they did. Because you would’ve done the same thing.” She added.

“Of course I’ve would’ve, I kinda like you guys. Especially you and Dr. Snow.” Harry admitted.

“Most importantly, you fell for me. All those other versions of Lea and Wells don’t know what they’re missing.”

“Well, technically, this wasn’t planned. I came to another earth for one goal. But we sorta happened.”

“Do you regret it?”

He leaned down, cupping her cheek a bit, “No.”

“Why’s that?” She asked, leaning in.

“Because it proves my multiverse theory. Every version of you or me, ends up being with an such interesting partner.”

“I love that theory.”

“I know you do.”

Harry closed the space between them, tossing in a few solid pecks of Lea’s waiting lips. A couple of sweet nothings and laughs were thrown into the mix, chatting about getting Big Belly Burger later.

When suddenly..

“Oh come on!”

Came Cisco’s voice, standing at the door with his hands on his hips.

“Seriously? Y’all didn’t need my help making her feel better.” Cisco said.

Lea snorted and smiled, as Harry tossed his friend a playful grin, only ever reserved for Cisco Ramon. 

“We’re heading to Big Belly Burger later, you coming?” asked Lea.

“Oh hell yes!” He replied, replacing the frown with a smile, snatched up his friend from Harry into his arms for a hug and yelling, “She was mine first.”

OC Creator Bingo!

From @occreatorexchange's challenge

Prompt: Secret Identity/Disguises

With: My OCs Siv Thawne and Hailey Laurence

"When were you going to tell me that you were the Shadow?" Hailey pinned Siv to the wall by her shoulders.

"The Shadow, eh?" Siv raised an eyebrow, still cocky despite her vulnerable situation. "Better than the one I was using, I guess. I like it."

"This is no time for jokes!" Hailey growled. "We've been... whatever you want to define this as... for months! And now, I find out that you're the villain that we've been chasing since that explosion at Mercury Labs!"

"First things first, that explosion was an accident. My powers are erratic and hard to control. You and I both know that." Siv replied, effortlessly calm. "Second of all, villain? I prefer the term 'vigilante'. Sure, I'm no saint, but I have a code. I only go after the people who deserve it. No children, no civilians, no animals. I may not be Miss Goody-Two-Shoes Hailey Laurence, but I'm no villain."

"You blew up a bank last week."

"Another accident!" Siv insisted, wiggling out of their jacket and out of Hailey's grip. Hailey's face immediately turned red at the sight of Siv's muscular arms and stomach, though she shook off the feeling of heat that rose in her core at the sight of the other woman's body. "You don't know a thing about me, Hailey Laurence. I suggest you stop pretending that you do."

"Stop deflecting the blame. What have I been to you all these months, Siv?" Hailey asked, tears of anger in the corner of her eyes. "You knew who I was! I don't wear a mask, unlike some people, so you would have seen my face a thousand times when we fought. You should have at least told me!"

"Please, you would have thrown me in a cell the first chance you got. You don't know the first thing about me. You think I'm this mastermind, when really, I'm just... some person. With superpowers. You don't know me at all, or why I do anything that I do!"

"Then tell me!"

"I'm trying to right a wrong that happened a long time ago." Siv replied. "What do you know about the death of Regina Rivera? March 19, 2015?"

"March 19..." Hailey trailed off, eyes going wide, her gaze a thousand miles away.

"They'll tell you she died in the fire, right? The one that burned the convention center nearly to the ground." Siv started circling Hailey, reaching for the collapsed baton in their thigh pocket. "She was murdered by a man. A monster, more like. I'm just trying to get justice for her."

Hailey clearly wasn't listening, frozen in fear and shock. Siv had clearly hit a nerve. Siv reached out to touch Hailey, but their hand swept right through her body. "The fuck?"

Siv again attempted to touch Hailey, but each time, it was like interacting with a hologram, or an illusion. There was nothing tangible in front of them. They clenched their fists, charging them up with lightning, and pressed them to where Hailey's chest should be, before releasing a cloud of static into the taller woman's body.

"Ow!" Hailey shuddered, her body becoming tangible again. "What the hell, Siv?"

"You scared the shit out of me!" Siv retorted. "You were transparent and intangible! It was like I was touching a ghost!"

"That's because you were." Hailey replied. Siv could tell that somehow, Hailey wasn't lying.

"Looks like you have some explaining to do, too."

"Maybe. We should take this elsewhere."

"My place?" Siv offered, raising an eyebrow.

"Fine. But if my boss catches us..."

"Relax." Siv squeezed Hailey's arm. "So far, you're the only one who knows who I am. Except Jay."

"Wait- you know Jay Barron?"

"Yeah, we were like, besties in high school." Siv replied. "Like I said, we both have a lot of explaining to do."

Spook's First Promo!

All my muses are kind of lacking in people to interact with right now, so if any of my blogs pique your interest, as a writing partner or even a lurker, please send me a message or fill out my interest tracker!

Some brief character descriptions, in order of appearance:

Aceen & Damus Tall (@slayemal-na-nerate)- twin Zabrak brothers who grew apart as they got older, eventually becoming entirely estranged as one was recruited by the Republic Army as a medic and the other turned to smuggling and bounty hunting

Inquisitor Lavellan (@laimdalen-itellam)- an amnesiac elf with a big heart who SHOULD NOT have been placed in charge of an apocalypse-prevention militia but managed to do a half-decent job for the sake of his found family

Garrett Hawke (@gayrett-hawke)- a disaster gay whose barely-controlled, but incredibly strong, magic and highly exaggerated appearance of self-confidence caused him to stumble his way into unwanted fame and infamy, an equally disastrous group of friends, and enough trauma to last him several lifetimes (icon is by @melonadraws)

Leia Angelica Morales (@sweltering-in-central-city)- a geeky tomboy with social anxiety who was finally fulfilling her childhood dreams of becoming a superhero until time travel rewrote her past and left her to manage her terrifyingly destructive powers on her own, a job she failed at miserably (icon made with @ummmmandy's picrew)

Taura Caterina Andreas (@lovely-little-bull)- the Minotaur's grandchild, raised by him to fear the gods and their children, who must come to terms with being the child of an Olympian herself, all the while wondering if her new family will kill her like they did her beloved "Pappoúlis" once they realize she's a monster just like him

Rachel "Raven" Roth (@empath-from-azarath)- a take on the Titan that pays more attention to her upbringing and empathic abilities, both of which were formative in creating the deadpan dork of a goth you all know and love

Asafké Baru (@not-a-twilek)- a force-sensitive orphaned mechanic who disguises herself as a human while trying to earn enough credits to finally escape the desert wasteland of Tatooine, where she crash-landed after escaping the men who enslaved her as a child (icon made with @ummmmandy's picrew)

Bruce Wayne (@guardian-of-gotham)- your favorite autistic batdad who fights crime while dressed like a flying rodent as an unhealthy coping mechanism, now with familiar flavors of kindness and self-sacrifice to cleanse your soul after dealing with any unwanted depictions of him as an edgy, brutal opportunist who doesn't love his kids (I'm looking at you, Tom K*ng)

Aya (@not-so-artificial)- a lovable semi-organic computer program made of pure green lantern energy, who is normally very sweet but is also very bad at understanding and dealing with emotions to the extent that she tried to eliminate all life and emotions from the universe after experiencing heartbreak (she got better, though)

Rules in my pinned post. Bios in the pinned post for each sideblog. This was supposed to be posted yesterday, but my head hurt too much to deal with tagging it. I promise it's not an April Fool's joke, though.

(Also, please ignore how simple Aya's blog is right now. I only put her out this early because I needed the 9th icon to make the image format look better.)

Okay so I have not seen legends of tomorrow but Evelyn seems like a really cool OC, so I'd love to hear more about her!

A/N: Thank you so much! Sorry it took me so long to get to this.

First things first, I've got a character sheet for her all written out

Here's also a dialogue dump here and here

And these are the two little fics I’ve written for her; Hold Me Close and a drabble

But, if you don't want to read all of that, here are the basics

Wielder of the Flaming Sword granting her super strength, agility and healing, the gift of Sight (the ability to see one’s true form, i.e., a human’s soul or a magic’s creatures true face), and mastery of light magic

The sword itself has been passed down through the centuries with its wielder acting as a beacon of hope meant to restore faith through their actions

Basically the Cleric of the group

I've also been reworking her to be more playful from the jump with a mischievous streak to her (think Father Mulcahy)

Has a bad habit of falling for emotionally unavailable men ie. an angel who takes their duties way too seriously, a man who's whole mission is to save his wife and son from dying in the future, and another man who has so much emotional baggage he could start his own luggage store

Self sacrificing to the point of being self destructive

Trusted second in command to Rip and later Sara when she takes over

Team takes a while to get to know her, not because she is keeping a secret, but because it doesn't occur to them to ask

Known best for her reliability

Quick witted and good at getting people to smile when things get dire

Will give someone a second chance, but not a third

Good drinker and down right gifted at poker

Over all a magical powerhouse who supports her team and needs some work accepting the same help in return

Caitlin took in a deep breath before she entered a high-class building. Her heels clacked against the squeaky clean floor as she made herself steadily walk towards the reception desk where a brunette woman sat.

"I'm here to see to see Dr. Tannhauser," she informed the receptionist.

The receptionist was quite uninterested in the new visitor. She didn't look up from her computer. "Do you have an appointment?"

"No, but I'm pretty sure she'll see me. You can just tell her Caitlin Snow is here—"

"Dr. Tannhauser's a very busy woman. I'm sure you can understand—"

"I appreciate the diligence, Jackie, but Caitlin's always welcome here, even if I wish she'd call first," an older woman claimed both Caitlin's and the receptionist's attention. Dr. Tannhauser stood at a second level railing and was smiling curiously at Caitlin.

"Nice to see you too, Mom." Caitlin felt a shaky breath leave her. This wasn't exactly her best idea but she was getting desperate. It was only a couple days ago when her powers had truly manifested and nearly caused her entire hair to change into a while silver. Caitlin tried to forget the blue lips that were Killer Frost's trademarks. But the accidental icing of her shower, the white streaks in her hair and the blue lips weren't what scared Caitlin the most. The following morning, Caitlin had began to hear...her voice.

It's time to wake up…

Caitlin had dropped her favorite coffee mug on her kitchen tile floor. Killer Frost had spoken to her. It was only a brief sentence but it was all Caitlin needed to get scared for the rest of her life. If Killer Frost was "awakening" it meant Caitlin was one step closer to losing control like Belén already had on small occasions.

It was for that very reason that Caitlin decided to share her experience with Belén just before announcing her idea to visit her mother. Belén understood Caitlin completely and of course promised to cover for her at STAR Labs so the others wouldn't suspect a thing. She just wanted Caitlin to be at peace, even if she didn't agree with Caitlin's latest decisions of not using her powers.

Caitlin remembered her friends just as she walked into her mother's office. The warm family bond they had was something far better than what she and her mother would probably ever have.

Carla Tannhauser didn't seem to suspect a thing as she calmly took a seat at her desk and began to work on her computer like Caitlin was any other visitor. "So what brings you here? I didn't forget your birthday, did I? I'm pretty sure I sent a card."

Caitlin drummed her fingers on her crossed arms while she watched this carefree behavior. You'd think being her daughter she would pay just a little more attention. "You did...in April. Thank you. Look, I read your new paper on applications in cryo-medicine, and I think you might be able to help."

"I had no idea you kept up on the literature over at S.T.A.R. Labs. That's still what it's called, right?"

"Yes, and I have a patient who could use your help."

"Well, if you want to send over the file, I'll be happy to take a look when I have a chance, but right now, I have a shareholder meeting to prepare for and…"

Caitlin felt an anger — that didn't belong to her — rise up until it pushed her to slam her hand against the glass desk. "Mom!" her voice seemed to acquire a vibrate tinge. "I'm the patient!" Her hand involuntarily released a frost that spread across the desk.

Carla slowly removed her glasses, revealing widened eyes. She slowly leaned to her phone and put in a call to her assistant. "Cancel my appointments, and have Nigel meet me in the bio-lab."

Caitlin gulped as she pulled her hand off the desk. She turned her palm over and closed it into a fist as if more ice was about to shoot out from it.

That was fun. Killer Frost could practically be seen grinning.

Barry zipped into the cortex and left his suit in its display. He turned to the desk where Belén and Iris sat. "I couldn't find her again." The tired sigh he released was beyond him. Nights had been sleepless for days again.

"I performed the tracker of speed just like you said Flashpoint Caitlin did—" Cisco came out from a side room with a similar weary face as Barry, "—and nada. Girl's not coming up."

"Okay, well, Anais Mjorkland isn't your typical speedster," Barry pulled his hands behind his head, letting out another heavy sigh. He would kill to close his eyes for a full five minutes. "She's not a metahuman. She's an alien."

"Your alien adoptive daughter from Earth 38…?" Iris repeated in a one go just to make sure she'd gotten the backstory right. She turned her chair in Belén's direction, but the ombre-blonde knew just as much as Iris did.

"Yeah, run that by me again," Cisco spun his hand in a circle at Barry.

Barry dropped his hands to his side and resigned to telling the story again. He wasn't surprised that he had to repeat given its unique situation but he didn't really like the awkwardness of it at all.

"The Anais Mjorkland I originally met was on Earth 38 and she is Supergirl's partner. She's known as Solar to National City but her civilian name is Anais Allen." This is where the awkwardness came back. Barry bit on the inside of his cheek for a moment before continuing. "She's half alien, half human and she was adopted by my...doppelganger...and Belén's..." At the mention of her name, Belén's head ducked to hide her instant flush. "On that Earth, Belén and I are older. We're Anais' adoptive parents and she has our last name."

"You two are really just doing the most, huh?" Cisco looked between the pair in question. "Should I say mazel tov?"

"Shut up!" Belén snapped. "Barry?"

"Right, um..." Barry cleared his throat. "So, Earth 38 Anais is an alien speedster, basically."

"Okay, but this girl definitely did not come from that Earth," Iris said, thankfully taking it much more seriously than Cisco.

"Yeah," went Cisco sourly, "I specifically vibed for Earth 19 and that is where that girl jumped from."

"Her name is Anais," Barry said rather argumentatively. Belén sensed a protectiveness in her boyfriend that she hadn't really heard in another time. It was strange but if Anais was truly like a daughter then she supposed she could understand. She might even feel guilty that she didn't feel the same protectiveness but she tried to remind herself that she had no idea who this woman was. Anais was a stranger.

However, Belén didn't think that Iris nor Cisco would understand that feeling and it was proved a moment later.

"Barry, she stole someone else's passageway to this world," Iris reminded Barry and took the subjected glare. "Cisco vibed for a Wells. That girl had to have known—"

"Her name is Anais!" Barry snapped again.

Iris nodded, deciding to give him that for now. "Anais took that passage. How do we know she didn't hurt Earth 19's version of Wells?"

"I don't know, okay? But what I do know is that Anais looked very afraid when she came out of that breach," Barry spoke fast, "And that means she could've been running from something."

"Or it means she might have done something bad on the other side," Cisco shrugged.

"Cisco—"

"I'm just saying!" Cisco exclaimed. "She did look at you like she knew you, Barry."

"Maybe she knew my doppelganger from there! I don't know!"

"Okay!" Belén cut in before things got heated and that was the last thing they needed right now. She got up from her seat, hands in front of her to show that she was trying to be a neutral side. "Can I give my two cents now?"

"What, as the mother?" Cisco's comment wasn't appreciated in the least by said mother in question. "Sorry."

"I don't know Anais," Belén began, slowly lowering her hands, "I've only heard the stories that Barry told me about when he first went to Earth 38. I do think that she looked kind of scared coming out of the breach but you know what? None of our guesses matter until we actually find her. It's been five days since Anais came out of the breach and ran and until we find her, we can't assume anything. So, can I suggest that we all get back to work on that instead of arguing?"

"I'll just go continue running more scans, I guess," Cisco mumbled and started leaving.

"And don't touch Caitlin's pizza pockets!" Belén warned but Cisco waved her off. He might have been a little annoyed at her.

"Sorry," Iris felt the urge to say after a moment. Her eyes flickered between Belén and Barry. "I guess it's a little strange having this situation...given who she is."

"Don't look at me, I don't even know her," Belén gave a meek shrug of her shoulders. "But I do think we're better off just waiting until we can get her back here. Right, Barry?"

"Yeah," Barry said quietly.

"Well, I'll tell you what, this would go quicker if we had all hands on deck," Iris moved behind the computers, "Where's Caitlin?"

"She said she was taking care of some things," Belén said purposely carelessly. She'd worked on the simple excuse over and over in front of the mirror to say as perfectly as she had. "

"Alright," Iris nodded, "I guess we can keep running scans," she said to Belén. The latter agreed.

"We've been running all information we can on her," Belén told Barry, "Since you said she's originally from National City, Iris and I thought that was our best shot of finding her."

"But you didn't," Barry presumed and he sighed seeing the two women nodding.

"Nothing," Belén was sad to report. "We found a ton of stuff on the latest events over in that city."

"Yeah," Iris crossed her arms, "CatCo. says flared jeans are out. The Luthor family has had another spat — oh, did you hear?" Iris glanced at Belén. "Rumor has it one of them finally split. Left the city and all."

"No way," Belén snorted. "That family's beyond insane but I guess that's what happens when you're stupid rich."

"Yeah, that's why we don't get rich," Iris said, prompting a mutual laugh between the two reporters.

Barry rolled his eyes at the pair. "Okay, "I've got to get to work." He moved over to pick up his jacket left on Belén's chair. "Julian's been on my case for being late all this week and I just…"

"Please don't start," Belén gave him a hopeful glance for him to — for once — just keep a civil relationship with Julian.

"He does not make it easy, Belén! With you, he's all walking-on-sunshine but once you leave he's like a different person!"

Iris shook her head and discreetly turned away from the two. It was a sure way to start an argument...as it typically did.

"You guys clash, but...deep down you're the same. You're both nerdy, you're both funny—"

"He is not funny," Barry made that clear, perhaps with a bit too much jealousy.

"You're both passionate about your work—"

"He's stingy about his work—"

"—and you both just want to help people," Belén took Barry's hand and smiled encouragingly. She knew she was talking quicker than usual and not in the usual cute way Barry often said she did. "Why can't you just get along?"

"Because I am pretty sure he likes you—"

"Oh my God!" Belén pulled her hand out of Barry's as she laughed sourly. "No, he doesn't!"

Barry scowled. She was dismissing him...just like that. "I know from your perspective I've been saying this for a year—"

"Yeah, you have!"

"—but from where I stand, it's only been two weeks and it took me only two days to figure out that he does," Barry had spoken slowly to make his point.

Belén shook her head, smiling at nothing in particular but with obvious annoyance. "You want to start that again, I see..."

Barry rolled his eyes. Why was she being so naive about this? Was she just faking it to avoid problems? Whatever the answer was didn't matter because he was tired and upset from the whole Anais case that if he kept going, he would say something he shouldn't. "I am going to work," he decided, "I'll see you later."

Belén nodded silently and let him go. She rubbed her forehead but dropped her hand when she saw Iris watching her with a face that...wasn't exactly on her side. "What? You think he's right?"

Iris' shoulders pulled up but her answer wasn't definitive either. "Barry is not the jealous type. That, I know."

"Iris, c'mon..." Belén sighed. She pushed all her hair back from her face. "This is ridiculous!"

"It might be to you but it's important to Barry and given his recent mistakes, I think he might be a little insecure about...where you two stand..." Iris wished she could be anywhere but here right now.

"Well, he shouldn't be!" Belén exclaimed. "We already talked about it. We're good."

"Okay, but, that doesn't mean he's not insecure that you might change your mind."

"Iris—"

"Just clear things up with Julian and you're good," Iris suggested quickly and just as Belén went to say something, Iris cut her off, "You say you're close so it shouldn't be a big deal and hey, if you're right, then you can at least make Barry see it. And if not, then…"

"I would owe Barry the biggest apology of my life," Belén said bitterly.

Caitlin followed her mother's closest employee, Nigel, into a high tech lab. The first thing that got her attention was the cylindrical structure glowing brightly orange and yellow. She could feel its intense heat radiating towards them.

"What's this?"

"It's to test how your ability affects molecular motion," Carla moved around the structure. "That shaft is solid tungsten, and it's heated to over 2,000 degrees centigrade. I want you to cool it down, and when we determine how you can do that, we can figure out the best way to help you. Best we could do in such little time."

"So this is where you've been for the last hour," Caitlin bitterly said. She wouldn't hide her disappointment that even when she exhibited the full range of her problems, her mother still didn't make her a priority.

"I had to reschedule my day for this, Caitlin. A lot of things around here require my attention."

"I remember," Caitlin said curtly.

Carla and Nigel both stepped backwards to allow Caitlin some space. "Whenever you're ready," Carla nodded Caitlin to get a little closer.

Caitlin wiggled her fingers as she stepped forwards. Her heart beat wildly as she raised her hands towards the structure. This time she didn't even have to consider how much power she should put into it. The ice just came out.

Carla and Nigel both gawked as the cylinder became crystallized in ice.

The gulp Caitlin took afterwards was involuntarily and made of pure fear.

When the alarms started going off in the cortex, Belén thought they finally caught site of Anais...but they found something else just as interesting.

"Cameras are shutting off in a ten-block radius," Cisco said without a clue of its purpose as he read off the computers.

"So...even if I tried to get there…?"

"Forget it," Cisco waved her off, already dialing for Barry's number.

"And could this be Anais?"

"I would doubt that girl could cause this but then again since she is alien and unknown...ha," Cisco gave only a small sarcastic laugh to answer them.

"Alright, I'm here," they soon heard Barry's voice through the comms.

"Settle our differences and tell us who exactly is causing the commotion?" Cisco asked him.

"Uuh…" despite Barry being dead silent, the others could hear the rowdy noises from the street he was in.

"Barry? What is it?"

"It's...a monster…"

The two in the cortex looked at each other with the same confusion.

"Guys!? Did you hear me!?" Barry called them back to his attention. "There is a monster in Central City!" Because he was facing a gigantic, brown alien with claw-like arms and a tail. It was the screaming of it that caused most of the noise, that paired with the humans'.

"Are you...are you that scared?" Belén blinked. She wished they could see exactly what they were dealing with.

"No, I mean it's an actual monster!"

"Cisco, anyway to see it?" Belén watched the scientist quickly working on the computer.

"S.T.A.R. Labs satellite, show me something," he pleaded just before the computer up ahead on the wall showed them what Barry was staring at.

"Oh...kay," Belén rubbed her eyes just to make sure she wasn't being fooled.

Barry saw how multiple cars crashed, including a bus, along with several live wires just sparking out. He rushed to the bus that was threatening to tip over and came to the surprise of finding Iris already there, trying to open the stuck doors for the frantic people inside.

"Iris, what are you doing here!?"

Iris paid no attention to his overly shocked self as she kept trying to open the doors. "Working on a story, and last time I checked, you don't need super-speed and a red suit to help people!"

Perhaps she spoke too soon because the doors simply would not budge.

"Okay, step back," Barry was about to vibrate the doors off when a golden streak came forwards and easily yanked the double doors off. Barry barely had time to blink when he saw the familiar figure. "Anais…"

The woman behind the golden mask only inhaled and took a step backwards.

"Did you do this?" Iris went with the only logical presumption at the moment. Her demand startled Anais enough to make her backtrack more steps.

Anais' blue eyes flickered from her to Barry. The latter recognized the flash of fear in her eyes. Without saying a word, she sped off again.

"No, wait!" Barry made to move after her when Cisco called him to stop.

"Monster — priorities!

"Where'd it...go…?" Iris blinked when the monster disappeared before her very eyes.

"What?" Barry spun around to find the monster completely gone. He looked up at the sky to see if the thing managed to pull itself up and fly. "Cisco?"

"Got it! Hold on!" Cisco made a motion for everyone to just wait on him, despite the fact that only Belén could see him do it. "Cameras are still off but the car alarms make it easy to track the direction the monster's heading in. Head north three blocks!"

Barry followed the instruction.

"Cisco…" Belén was the one confused when the map on the computers also had the monsters disappear. "Did we just lose it?"

"Yeah — what the hell!?" Cisco dug his hands into his hair, completely outraged.

They weren't the only ones who lost the monster.

~ 0 ~

"It was...it was a frikin monster just...just rampaging through the streets and we-we lost it," Barry was in the same state of confusion as the others were. He honestly felt like he was explaining some video game.

"And Anais?" Belén couldn't help but be curious about the mysterious woman who'd gone and helped him out of the blue. All this time they've been searching for her and she just comes up to them instead.

"Gone," Barry shrugged, equally upset about that too. "I searched for her afterwards and she was just...gone."

"But she's still in the city," Iris expressed her trouble with that fact. "Now why would she do that? I mean, if she's scared then she would run and, I don't know, leave the city?"

"Maybe she wants to go home?" Cisco said, honestly not as interested in the mysterious woman at the moment. He wanted to get that monster!

"No, that's not right," Belén said. She leaned against the desk, her fingers drumming over the top. "If she had wanted to go home, then she would've come back already. If she wanted to leave the city, she would've done that too. She's staying here for a reason."

"She's hiding," Barry said as soon as he made the conclusion. Everyone, including Belén, looked at him. "If she had been our enemy, she would've attacked us from the start. If she wanted to leave, then she would've done it too, but she hasn't. She's here. And she helped. She's watching us."

"So why doesn't she come on over and say 'hi'," Cisco muttered but the others still heard him.

"She's scared," Barry said easily, "I saw it again in her eyes. She's afraid of something."

"Okay," Belén nodded to herself. She glanced over at Cisco who had taken a seat behind the computers. "Maybe we can keep an eye out on the breaches in case something else tries to get through. In the meantime, I think we should discuss this monster..."

"Also not a meta," Iris chimed in, "Are we looking at another alien?"

"I don't know," Barry shrugged, "But it just vanished.

"Well, maybe we shouldn't focus on the 'how' and instead look at the 'how to stop it'," Cisco fell back into his chair, hands getting together in thought.

"First of all, you need to find a way to keep that thing from hurting people," Belén said, beginning easy. "Like a field? You guys make those, right?"

"We could," Cisco gave in. "Maybe like...a rope...or...you know what, I will come up with a good name for it."

"There was something else that was weird, though," Barry admitted after more thinking on the event. I... I saw a transformer explode as this thing passed by it."

"What's weird about that?"

"Monster didn't even lay a finger on it. It exploded before it got to it."

"And we're sure it wasn't Ana—"

"It wasn't," Barry settled a sharp look on Iris, not forgetting the fact it was because of her that Anais fled the scene before he could ask her. "And maybe next time, we'll also take it a little easier on the accusations?"

Iris had nothing to say on that matter. She merely asked what was most obvious at that moment.

"Barry, is there anyway I could look at the transformer?" asked Cisco. "The beast had to emit some kind of electrical pulse."

Barry almost scoffed at the slim chance of that. "No. The whole place is a crime scene now with Julian in charge of it." He saw the face Belén was making at the desk and groaned. "I'm not saying anything!"

"I didn't say you were!"

"You didn't have to!" Barry stopped himself before he said anything else that could ensue an actual argument between them. "I'm just gonna go back to the lab and see...what there is…"

~ 0 ~

Barry walked into the lab where Julian was already packing away things for the latest case. Just seeing Julian put Barry into a worse state. He was causing yet another rift between him and Belén, and for what? For someone who was plain rude.

"Is there any point in me asking where you've been for the last hour?" Julian broke the silence try didn't even spare Barry a look. "Or should I just assume the rules still don't apply to you?"

Yup anger was there again. It killed Barry not being able to tell just what he was doing which was probably more helpful than whatever Julian was doing. He could just tell him off, tell him to mind his own business and that would be that. But then he thought about Belén, and how much he knew she wanted them to get along. He put herself in her shoes for a second and wondered what it would be like if she never got along with Iris. What would he want then? Well, definitely for the two to get along since he loved both of them.

Dammit, he thought.

"Look, hey, man, so I know that... you and I, we got off on the wrong foot. We never managed to find the right one, and I'll take that," he forced himself to say, knowing that half of it was true. "That's probably my fault, but I just... I don't want things to be like that anymore, you know? I... I'd... like it if things changed."

Julian's smile indicated something was amusing and that was definitely not the goal. "It's funny, 'cause I remember you saying something similar to that right before you stole the case from underneath me. Do you have idea what it's like to work side by side with someone with such little regard for the rules? You may very well be contaminating my work."

Barry had to actually bite his tongue for a moment or else he probably would have gone off. "That's exactly why I want to learn from you. I don't follow. I just... you know, whenever I read your reports, it's clear that your evidence collection techniques are far superior to mine."

Julian considered this line of compliment with curiosity. "Go on."

"I don't know; I mean, if I could just shadow you for a day, maybe ask a few questions, I think that you could really help bring my skills up to... snuff. What do you say?" Julian gave a shake of his head. "What if I gave up the lab? There's a storeroom downstairs that I could convert, so if you let me follow you on this case, lab's yours."

See, he should have just started with that.

"Deal," Julian grinned. "You can't slow me down, though."

"I would never," Barry raised his hands. He couldn't believe he'd actually done that.

Belén entered her last stop before returning to STAR Labs. She figured she should have started with Jitters and worked her way across the city, but trying to find Anais was harder to do considering she was an alien speedster. With Cisco's help, they'd managed to crop a picture of Anais' face from the breach room. It was a long job of going through placed asking if they'd seen the girl, but since they had no other plan as of yet it was their only option.

Plus, both Cisco and Belén figured that if Anais was a speedster she needed to eat something, somewhere. If they were lucky, she would've stopped by and paid with something and not just sped in and out like a crook.

"Have you seen this girl around?" Belén asked the barista after making it up the line. She brandished the picture of Anais and hoped for the best.

The barista narrowed her eyes on the photograph for a moment, trying to recall the customers she'd met with all day. "Yeah, I think I have. Yeah! She's the one that ordered a lot of food." She gave an apologetic smile at Belén. "I mean, I know I shouldn't be but...kinda jealous. She ordered like three course meals and it doesn't even look like she gains what she eats. I'd kill for a metabolism like that."

"Has she been here before?"

"I think so, yeah. I don't work in the mornings but I remember one of my co-workers saying something about this girl. Same thing - wishes she could have that weight luck."

"So, she's been here a lot, then?" Belén saw the chances of a pattern about to establish. The excitement was inevitable. "Co-workers had to see her!"

"Yeah, I guess so. Why are you looking for her? She's not a criminal is she?"

"No, she's just...a potential source for an article I'm writing," Belén waved it off. "Thank you so much." She figured now they could keep an eye on the place if Cisco hacked the security cameras from STAR Labs. She made to leave when she spotted a familiar blonde eating at one of the tables on his own.

She didn't know exactly what she was going to do but she sure hoped she figured it out on her way to Julian's table. "Eating all alone?"

Julian gave her a languid point of his fork. "Better than being badly accompanied."

"Swallow before you speak," Belén playfully pushed his fork back to his plate.

"Where's your little reporter friend?" he reached for a napkin to clean his mouth.

"Iris had to give a witness testimony for the earlier incident on the street so it's just me."

"No golden boy boyfriend either?"

Belén's face contorted to near annoyance, just like it would have if this had been Barry. She gave him a long look to which Julian merely continued eating. He was quite used to them.

"Julian, you know that I love you right? Like, you're one of my best friends kind of love?"

"Sure, why?" Julian spared her a strange look before he reached for his drink. "I don't need reassurances of anything, you know. I'm secure."

"Yeah, you always have been," Belén smiled softly. "You are incredibly strong despite your family and your losses."

Julian made a face at her out-of-place words. He put his fork down and cleared his throat. "Belén, what's this about?"

"Uum…" Belén felt her face warmed up with embarrassment. She was horrible at these talks, she knew. She could remember how terrible she was with Barry before they got together. "You remember when we were kids and...you stayed for the summer with Mrs. Andrews for the first time?"

"Ah yes, I believe that was the summer you told me I had to stop trying to show you bugs or you would throw me off a swing. You're lucky I didn't tell my grandmother."

Belén laughed at that memory. "You knew those bugs made my skin crawl! Mrs. Andrews would've sided with me anyways!"

Julian let Belén have it. "Anyways, I don't suppose you wanted to talk about old times, did you?"

"No, but that was funny," Belén admitted as she sobered up. "Anyways, it was also the summer that...well…"

"I told you, you were going to be my girlfriend," Julian remembered straight off the top and didn't look the least embarrassed by it. "Yeah."

Belén had long ago lost her surprise when it came to Julian's bluntness. "I know. You, um, you said you had a crush on me." If she ever told Barry that, he would completely lose his mind. "But...that was, like, ages ago. Nothing worth...talking...about..."

Julian's eyebrows rose and Belén didn't know whether to be relieved that he was smiling so easily or be concerned that he wasn't taking her seriously. "Are you concerned that I'm going to talk about those moments with Allen?"

"Umm..." Belén innocently looked around, "I mean, I wouldn't see any point to it. I certainly haven't mentioned it."

Julian rolled his eyes at her. "Yeah, well, seeing as I would have to actually to have a conversation with him, I don't think I'll be doing it either."

Belén swallowed hard. Do it now already. "Um, Julian, Barry and I are having a hard time right now—"

Julian snorted. "There's a surprise."

"Julian—"

"Allen lives to make things harder for others and then he has the audacity to pretend that he does nothing wrong."

"What?" Belén laughed. She took a seat across Julian, genuinely curious to hear this ridiculous idea out.

"I'm not joking, Belén!"

"Yeah, I got that," Belén assured Julian, "But I just want to know why on earth do you hate my boyfriend so much?"

"I don't think you'll like to hear it—"

"No, I need to hear it," Belén said adamantly, setting her finger down on the table, "Because Barry and I have argued about it way too much for me not to be aware that you are rude sometimes and I've no doubt that you've been like that with him. I, of course, try to defend you and hope that sometimes your rudeness is just your bluntness getting mixed up but you know what? I know Barry. He's not mean — he's literally incapable of being mean. Trust me, I have the full scoop from Iris."

"So then what?" Julian raised an eyebrow at Belén. "I'm the bad guy?"

"No, I..." Belén sighed, "I'm just going to be frank, alright? What you told me when we were kids...is that...does that have any standing today?"

"Are you kidding me!?" Julian scowled so deeply that Belén wondered if it would mark his face afterwards. "Look, Belén," Julian began in a stern voice, eyes hardening for a second, "Yes, it was true that I did like you as a child. But that, as I said, was during a time of childhood. It passed. I see you as a very close friend, the only friend that I entrusted my entire secrets to so forgive me if I feel like we're close."

"We are..." Belén said softly, now feeling terrible she even brought it up. But now you know, she told herself. Now she could argue with Barry knowing that he had no standing. "I'm sorry," Belén felt the need to say. "I-I didn't mean to. I thought maybe, it was, I don't know, a reason…"

"That I dislike Allen? Yes, well that would probably have been a first guess, I suppose," Julian leaned back on his chair, his eyes making Belén squirm in her seat. "But rest assured, it is not. You can ease his thoughts now."

"If that's not it, then...why do you hate him? Help me understand, Julian, because maybe I can help. Because I don't want to keep this cycle going. I love Barry and I don't want to have an argument every day because you and him can't get along." This time it was Belén who stared hard. "I don't want to ever have to pick, alright? So tell me something valid. Now."

"You want to know? Alright. But you'll probably end up defending him. He's late — always late — and he never has a reasonable excuse as to why. He lies and disappears. For someone who worked his way up to his position, it certainly doesn't seem like he cares."

"He does care," Belén corrected but left the defenses for the tardiness out. It was terrible, really, because it wasn't like Barry chose to be late for no reason. At least not anymore.

"Of course you would say that," Julian rolled his eyes.

"Because I've seen it ever since I met him. And if I recall correctly, you two are on the same team both wanting to help those victims. Now if that's the case, then why can't you just work civilly?"

Julian released a sigh and crossed his arms. "He did ask if he could shadow me in the case of this monster. Says he likes my work."

Belén's lips twitched into a smile. "He said that?"

"Yeah, course I also get the lab so…" Julian shrugged and Belén rolled her eyes. "It was a win, win."

"Okay, then, use this day to actually try to get along?" Belén asked as kindly as possible. "It would make me really happy…" Julian gave a small nod to her plead. It made her beam and feel confident enough to get going.

"But you also know a reason why I don't like him?" He stopped her just as she got up. "It is because of you…"

Belén blinked nervously. "Oh, really?"

"It's because if he's someone who has no regards for rules and other people, I wouldn't want you to end up with him. For your own good, Belén."

Belén softly smiled at him. "Believe me, if there's someone who cares a lot about people it's Barry. It's one of the reasons why I love him. That's how we met actually, officially." Her smile spread. "He helped me with my brother's case."

Julian shook his head. "He's hiding something, Belén. Behind all those tardiness and lies…"

"I will be just fine, Julian. Thank you," Belén offered one more smile as she got up from her seat to leave.

Barry walked into a pretty solitary side of a street - right on time this time - where Julian had called him to. It was the same street where the transformer had exploded due to the monster, or so they thought.

When Julian spotted him, he paused with a certain degree of confusion. "I said get here quick, but that was...quicker than I expected."

Barry cleared his throat and jerked a thumb over his shoulder. "Oh, no, yeah, it was a... crazy Uber driver."

Julian shrugged it off and returned his attention to the transformer in front of them. "Well, the blast pattern and the scoring on the insulation suggests that it was a power surge that blew it out."

"So it's a coincidence?"

"I highly doubt it. But I'll figure it out," Julian went around to get his briefcase from the ground, mumbling, "Someone in this city has to do something about these metas."

"What do you mean? We have a whole police force working to stop these metas," Barry's strange looks were missed.

"No, you have the Flash," Julian had no hesitation in showing his dislike. "And the Azalea, the Tempest...and so on…"

Barry's face went sour at the mention of his and his friends' names. "So it's not just bad metas you don't like. It's all the metas."

"I'm just saying that because of them, the police department has got lethargic. I mean, why do anything at all if these metas are gonna save the day every time?" Julian spared him a glance, but only to say, "It's a bit like you with rule breaking... a momentary fix, and now you're lazy, sloppy."

Barry purposely looked somewhere else because he was sure if he didn't the words would just tumble out of him. "I think the Flash, the Azalea and the Tempest are actually sources of inspiration for the city. I think they kind of provide hope."

"They're not even consistent with their appearances," Julian remarked, and didn't need to go further on what he meant.

The Tempest had stopped making an appearance nine months ago, and the Azalea was beginning to fall into the same tract. Once again, it was many of the things they could clear up if only Julian know the truth.

Barry put those thoughts away when he noticed Julian staring at a building behind him then to another one at the opposite end of the street. "What? You see something?" Barry turned the same ways in hopes of catching whatever Julian was seeing.

"A pattern," Julian mumbled while he thought. "The creature's movements, they seemed random at first, but they were contained to a prescribed area. You know, like the creature was stuck in an invisible fence."

Barry remembered their biggest problem at STAR Labs when the monster first showed up. "Traffic cameras were down, right? Maybe it was being watched or controlled by somebody that needed to keep it in visual range the entire time? Constricting the creature's movements to the line of sight."

Julian blinked at him. "That actually makes sense. Maybe there is a brain in there after all, Allen."

Barry playfully rolled his eyes. "Well—" some of the wires in the streets snapped all of a sudden, shooting sparks in different directions.

The cars parked blared their alarms as if they were being broken into. Both men turned to see the monster once again going down the intersecting street up ahead. Barry took a couple steps forwards while Julian called for backup. He looked around for a place to leave Julian by so he could deal with the monster. However, Julian grasped his collar and yanked him towards an alleyway.

"Hey, maybe we should split up…" Barry tugged his collar back into place now that they'd hidden behind a dumpster.

"That's a terrible idea," Julian reached for something on him.

"Yeah, but we got to do something, right? We - woah!" Barry blinked with wide eyes, stunned at the polished gun Julian had revealed.

"Don't worry, I have four years' training in the military," Julian said calmly as he stocked said gun.

"Uh, even still, since when does a CSI carry a gun?"

"Since there were monsters in our city!"

Before Barry could refute that statement, a force of wind hit them in passing. Barry recognized the golden light trail and immediately poked his head out into the street.

Anais, in her hero guise, had stopped at the end of the street and was gazing up at the monster. There she was again, just...trying to help. Barry didn't understand her movements.

"A new speedster in the city? Really?" Julian's sigh from behind pulled Barry back to the present, and just in time.

There was a small explosion right above them and caused an advertising sign board to drop down towards them. Anais whirled around but before she even thought about returning, Barry pulled out his quick thinking and pulled Julian into a sloppy jump backwards. The two rolled to a stop on the ground and just as Barry looked up to see Anais the blonde alien shot up into the air and disappeared.

That's right, she flew.

Caitlin finished putting on her blue blazer and grabbed her bag to leave when she bumped into her mother's assistant. "Sorry," she sheepishly smiled and went around him to the door.

"You're leaving us?" Nigel called after her, making her stop.

Caitlin sighed as she came to a slow stop. "Yeah," she turned sideways and gave a sad smile. "Things between my mother and me are... complicated." Truth be told, she expected her mother to show at least a little regard for her feelings about this situation and yet...nothing.

If Killer Frost was cold, what did that make her mother?

"We can help you," Nigel attempted his hand at persuasion, but Caitlin shook her head.

"I don't need your help with the science. I can do that on my own. I came here to get something from my mother that I realize now I'll never get."

Nigel sneaked his hand into his pocket where he held the controls of the doors. He activated them and locked the doors behind Caitlin. The woman heard the clicking of the locks and frowned at him.

"What are you doing?"

"Sorry, Frosty, but you're not going anywhere."

"Let me out of here. Open these doors!"

"I said no! I am sick of working day after day, night after night, only to have my work benefit your mother.. With the information I can get from you, I can finally get out of this place, so you're gonna stay here until I get everything that I need!" Nigel latched a hand onto Caitlin's bare arm and pulled her towards the desk.

Oh he is not getting away with that, Caitlin heard Killer Frost. Her fear easily allowed Killer Frost access to the controls of her body.

Caitlin's eyes flashed a silver white and moved her hand of the arm Nigel was grabbing so that she now held his arm. "You are not going to test me!" her voice reverberated with Killer Frost's.

Before Nigel knew it, Caitlin's hand emitted her deadly frost that spread to his forearm.

"Wait, let go! Let go!"

Caitlin's lips started twitching into a devil smirk. "What's the matter, Nigel?"

"Caitlin!" her mother came running into the room with her own door controller. "Don't do this! This isn't you!"

"You don't know anything about me, Mother," Caitlin said this time, her voice less of Killer Frost. This was the anger inside flourishing and joining everything Killer Frost once held.

"I... I know I wasn't much of a mother, and I know I have a lot to make up for, but I know I didn't raise a killer," Carla shakily reached to touch Caitlin.

Caitlin gasped and felt Killer Frost be pushed back behind that blue door where only she stayed. She blinked and looked around, immediately letting go of Nigel when she saw what she'd done.

"For whatever it's worth, I am so sorry," Carla's voice pulled Caitlin to her.

"It's worth a lot," Caitlin admitted.

"Now go," Carla nodded to the open door.

"What about…" Caitlin stared down at the man on the ground.

"I... I'll take care of him. No one will ever know about this. I promise!"

"Thank you," Caitlin backed away slowly, still horrified herself. She turned around and practically ran out of there.

"Every time there's been a sighting of the monster, multiple transformers have blown," Julian checked over the reporting of the monster incidents so far.

Barry leaned back against his desk, partially thinking about the incident and then to Anais. He'd left that for Cisco and Belén in the meanwhile. "Hmm, so it's definitely feeding off electricity."

"Mm-hmm, and see, I mapped out all the streets that it's been spotted around. Never leaves a ten-block radius," Julian shook his head at the computer and pushed his chair away for the moment. "You know, this is exactly what I was talking about. Some meta's been gifted this incredible power, and this is the very best thing they can do with it... terrorize a city. It's pathetic."

"Why exactly do you hate metas so much?" Barry now find the time to wonder.

"If you think I'm gonna break down now and tell you that one killed my parents and that's why I have to do this job, I'm not, okay?" Julian missed the once again sour face of Barry, and went on. "I don't need a deep, personal reason to hate metas, Allen. I just need to see person after person transformed, given these extraordinary abilities, and watch them be squandered. Robbing banks, hurting people, spreading fear. It's just... well, it's not just a crime. It's an absolute waste. I mean, can you imagine what it would be like to have those powers? I mean, I would be helping people! I would be improving the world!"

Barry couldn't help remember Belén's words that sounded almost exactly like Julian. Barry supposed there was, apparently, a nice side to the man…

"I guess I wasn't one of the chosen few, was I?"

Barry raised an eyebrow at Julian. "That's it? You're mad at them because you weren't chosen?" Julian shot him a suspicious glance. "Sorry, I mean, I'm just saying, it can't be easy being a meta-human, having your life... their lives change in ways that, you know, neither one of us could possibly imagine. It's got to take some adjusting."

"Right. So now you're defending them?"

"Well, no, I mean, I'm... I don't think that…" Barry could see he'd chosen the wrong words to say to him because Julian was now packing his things.

"This internship thing we're doing is completely over," Julian warned him to stay put as he walked out of the lab.

~ 0 ~

"All I'm saying is that she's going to eat - paying her dues - and she's attempting to help us? That doesn't sound like a criminal to me, Cisco," Belén followed the man around in the cortex. She was relaying to him everything she found out about Anais from the baristas at Jitters.

"Yeah? Then why doesn't she stay and explain herself to us?" Cisco made a passing gesture at her as he crossed the cortex to the computers. "And have we forgotten that she probably stole Harry's doppelganger's passage here?"

Belén rolled her eyes at him for that one since she knew he wasn't as upset as he portrayed to be about that matter. "Cisco, if you really wanted to bring over the doppelganger you would've vibed again."

Cisco opened his mouth to retort but then pointed at her instead, giving her the point. "Fine. I like Harry and I don't want someone else. What if we get an evil Wells again?"

"Nobody wants that," Belén leaned her hands on the back of the desk, peering over the computers to see what Cisco was doing. "But why'd you let Harry go on with the plan, then?"

"Because it looked like he wanted it—"

"Which he didn't."

"Yeah, we know that now."

"Okay, back to my point that I was making, we should really find Anais and bring her in."

"I've kept an eye on the Jitters cameras all day and there hasn't been any sign of her," Cisco gave a light shrug of his shoulders. "My best bet is that she'll show when the monster does."

"Yeah, and then she'll run off like she has the past two times."

"So we don't let her," Cisco said like it was the easiest thing. "We need to take her by surprise."

"You mean knock her out? That's original and clearly the best kind of welcoming," Belén smiled sarcastically at him.

"She came in unwelcomed! And she ran off!"

"Well—"

"You two arguing is never a good thing," Caitlin surprised them both with her presence. Belén especially gave her a scrutinizing stare, wondering how her visit to her mother's had gone.

"We were just disagreeing on how to best deal with our speedster-breacher," Cisco waved it off. "And where've you been?"

"Just...out," Caitlin shrugged then set her hands on her hips. "So how are we doing over here?"

"Well, we're no closer to getting the monster nor Anais—"

"What monster—?"

Cisco's meta app started ringing in all three of their phones. The creator immediately whipped out his phone and pinpointed the location. "Thank god for the app with GPS!"

"What's going on?" Caitlin asked.

"It's the monster," Belén headed for her suit and missed Caitlin's blinking eyes.

"What monster?"

"You've missed a lot," Cisco distractedly patted Caitlin's arm while he got in contact with Barry.

"Cisco, I'm gonna follow your plan - I think," Belén called. "But how exactly do I knock out a speedster? Not to mention a flying speedster?"

Cisco opened his mouth but soon shut it and swayed his head to Caitlin for a fresh idea. The brunette brought a hand up to her cheek and thought about it. She went through multiple scenarios and ultimately came up with something, just something that she wasn't quite sure of. It hadn't been tested properly.

"Moon," she said the one word and hoped Belén would understand.

Cisco did not. And he showed it by scrunching his face at Caitlin. "Moon? What does that—" But Barry sped in and out for his suit and stopped just beside Cisco, startling him back.

"Don't do that!" Cisco shouted in Barry's face.

"Rope! Did you get the rope!?" Barry motioned his hands.

While Cisco showed Barry to the rope, Caitlin took the opportunity and rushed up to Belén to better explain her idea. "It's wrong for me to put you in that situation but you have moon manipulation powers. With that you can maybe do some gravitational pull attack."

"I-I've never done that in my life," Belén blinked. "And I think Datura said she never figured out how to do that."

"Moon abilities also allow you to redirect a reflection - stunning! Light manipulations—"

"So I'm gonna have to stick a hand in my bag of siphoned powers and see what works," Belén released a big breath. "Oh boy."

With Barry's help, Belén arrived at the site with him and immediately set to search for Anais. The woman's golden suit would make her stand out in the night amongst civilians.

"Oh my God…" Belén was first taken aback by the monster's appearance. This was the first time she'd seen it in person. It was a lot bigger than what the cameras showed. She gaped and turned her head at Barry.

"I know," he could see his first reaction on her face. "Cisco? I'm here."

"Please tell me there was a plan to catch this monster…" Caitlin let her concern show.

"Alright, so we fashioned just a carbon fiber rope, but correct me if I'm wrong, we never actually discussed how he was gonna use that rope, did we?" Cisco slapped a hand at his face when he realized his error.

"Cisco…" Caitlin couldn't believe it.

"I know," the man groaned. "Okay, so we...so...um...oh!" he snapped his fingers, startling Caitlin with the motion. "Barry, we're gonna do 'Empire'. Just take it down like it was an AT-AT. Just like an AT-AT!"

"I've no idea what that means," Belén wasn't afraid to admit.

Barry smiled at her. "Let me handle this." Belén motioned it was all him. She, on the other hand, spotted a golden streak zigzagging at the other end of the street.

"And I see our alien," she told the others and rushed off.

While Barry tied the carbon rope around three distinct street poles to keep the monster restrained, Anais was busy getting people away from it.

"Run to safety! Go on!" She urged many of the civilians and was just about to speed off when she saw tendrils of vines swirling in front of her. "Aah…" she retracted a step and raised a hand to her face.

The vines disbanded to show Belén. "You have explaining to do, Anais."

Hearing her name made Anais gasp. She lowered her hands from her face, revealing wide blue eyes. "You know me?"

"I don't. But my boyfriend does," Belén pointed at the red speedster across from them.

Anais followed the pointed finger and gasped again. Her head flipped back at Belén. "You're — you and him — here too?"

Belén tried making sense of that chopped-up question but given the circumstances, she didn't have enough time to sort it all out. "You need to come with me right now."

Whatever Anais thought, it was hidden behind her golden mask. Still, her eyes blinked rapidly in confusion when she saw the monster across them walk through the rope the Flash had put around it. "It's...a hologram…"

"What?" Belén followed Anais' gaze.

"The city's not a threat, then," Anais said with relief, but Belén knew exactly what that meant.

"You can't leave again!"

Anais got smug and wiggled her fingers at Belén. "Watch me." She turned around and even stretched her arms upwards for show.

You going to let her be smug? Let her taunt you? Terra will not allow it. Belén shivered when that same voice's owner pushed through her mind.

Just as Anais started off, Belén extended a hand forwards and thrust up an actual chunk of road into a wall that Anais hit face-first. The alien speedster groaned in terrible pain, her hand flying to her broken nose.

"Belén? What happened?" Caitlin was thankful for the cameras being shut off. Her guess was that Belén was using the moon powers she was instructed to.

"Yo," Cisco also called in. "Barry's just gone to 2nd and Fulton to warn the police not to shoot! I'm trying to disrupt the signal for the monster but Belén you need to get over there!"

Anais detached herself from the road and angrily punched a fist at it, making it crumble down. Belén, not as her, pushed her hands upwards to rebuild the structure but instead Anais came directly for her. It was easy to throw Belén down with her incredible strength.

"I don't want to hurt anyone!" Anais exclaimed at the groggy woman on the ground. "Please! I-I can go!"

HitHerHitHerHitHerHitHer, the voice screamed in Belén's head. She scrunched her face and sat upright. "I am in control," she mumbled to herself and opened her eyes again. Anais was watching her with incredible fear.

Belén took in a deep breath and faced Anais. The blonde woman backtracked a step as Belén got back on her feet. Her hands wielded light beams in her hands in case Belén attacked again, but something different happened instead.

Belén's mask disbanded and revealed her face. "Please tell me you recognize me."

Anais' face said it all. The light around her hands disappeared. However, seconds later she burst into sobs.

~ 0 ~

After stopping the monster - and discovering the evil culprit was just a fifteen year old boy - it was time to call it a night. At least, that part was over…

Anais was given a pair of normal clothes courtesy of Caitlin - though Caitlin took notice of the way Anais stared at her as if she were afraid. In her golden suit, Anais sat on a stool in the middle of the cortex with her arms around herself and the clothes on her lap. Her blue eyes briefly flickered to the entire group staring at her like hawks, probably waiting for her start explaining herself.

It was hard.

"Could you just please start with your name?" Barry was the only one who took more of a hands-on approach with her. He couldn't help it. "You're still Anais, right?"

She gave him a small nod. "Anais Mjorkland. And you're still Barry, right?"

"Yeah. You knew me on your Earth?"

Anais nodded again, her eyes then flickering past him to Belén. "I knew her too."

"Were we...friends…?" Barry didn't want to ask if they were also adoptive parents on that Earth for fear of freaking Anais out.

"We were a team," Anais' voice was barely heard by the others. She sighed and let her head hang. "I am so sorry. I didn't mean to...to take that guy's place."

"Dr. Wells?" Cisco called from the desk.

The blonde nodded once again. "He runs STAR Labs - well, that's what he used to do before they discovered it was a farce."

"Ha, see, we would've gotten another liar Wells," Cisco nudged Caitlin who rolled her eyes in return. "I'm not vibing again."

"How did you steal his place?" Belén asked Anais.

"I-I...I lost people, okay?" Anais put her hands together in front of her face. "On my Earth, there was this war against metahumans - World War M - and there was a final battle...and a lot of people died." Her eyes filled with tears as she looked between Barry and Belén. "I tried my best, I really did, okay? But I lost them."

"We died…" It was easy for Barry to see that truth in Anais' face. She quickly looked back down at the clothes on her lap. Her long blonde hair draped in front of her like a curtain.

"Oh, that's…" Belén shook her head, unable to even complete that thought. It didn't make her feel any good.

"So you knew their doppelgangers—"

"When they discovered I was a speedster too, they helped me train. Them and all the metas who wanted peace, but then…people started discovering that I was neither meta nor human...and that's a big rule," Anais bit her lip. "Aliens are prodded and experimented on to enhance human life."

"Were you being hunted for that?" Caitlin gaped in horror.

"Yes, and people tried to protect me and instead it just got them killed…" Anais' eyes once again drifted to Barry and Belén, guilt riddened. "I am so sorry," she said to Barry who was closest. "I shouldn't have let him try, I shouldn't have but I was a coward and now he's dead and she…" she trailed off when she met Belén's horrified face. "I'm just sorry."

"Hey, it's okay," Barry rubbed Anais' back, not attempting to hug her since she barely wanted contact with them or anyone in the room. "If we chose to try and protect you it was because we were friends."

"Yeah," Belén came forwards. "It's what we would've done for our friends here."

"But they died in vain!" Anais exclaimed, sniffing loudly. "Because people still went after me! I had to escape so I took my chance with STAR Labs. I watched and I waited for a breach to open and I went right through! I can't go back there. It's against the law to do inter-dimensional travel. They'll kill me if I go back. I have to stay here."

"We're not sending you back," Barry reassured her and helped her stand on her feet. "You can stay here as much as you'd like."

"Do you want a cup of coffee?" Caitlin walked around the desk towards the trio.

"Coffee?" Anais blinked at her. "You still have coffee on this world?"

"Uh, yeah…"

"You don't?" Cisco asked, exchanging confusing glances with Caitlin.

"Humans' coffee supply was wiped out by blight. I don't know what coffee tastes like."

Caitlin offered a sweet smile at Anais. "You're going to love it. And, you can also stay with me if you'd like." She heard the story about Anais and she honestly couldn't see a reason to distrust the woman after hearing her awful story.

"Our place is also up for offer," Belén raised a finger, making Anais glance back at her and Barry.

"You two are…?" Anais pointed between them. "You're…married too?"

Barry cleared his throat and shook his head. "No." Although it was rather interesting hearing of another world where he and Belén were married. It's just too bad this particular Earth also killed them off.

"Oh…" Anais half smiled, "Sorry. I just assumed..."

"No problem," Belén said quickly, "Um, maybe you'd like to get changed?"

Anais nodded. "Yeah, it's been a while since I took my suit off." Caitlin offered to bring Anais to a more private room to change in, followed by the offer of coffee.

"Well, that was interesting," Cisco gave the Belén and Barry a pointed look. "Why is it always you two?"

"Shut up," Belén rolled her eyes at him.

"What exactly are we going to do with her, though? For real?" Cisco asked.

"She's too shaken up for any more questions," Barry said, still thinking about this other world Anais was from. "But she's not a bad person and that's what matters. Let's just give her a couple days to...process things."

"Alright, fine, but you two—" Cisco pointed a warning finger at them, "—get to explain to the others about this alien girl. Please let me be there when you tell Joe and Veronica."

"Whatever," Barry playfully rolled his eyes at him.

"Actually, I think I should see my Mom and forewarn her about questioning," Belén gave a hopeful look up at Barry. "Lift to the precinct wouldn't come by bad."

Barry smiled and gave a little salute to Cisco before speeding away with Belén. "You know if you could go ahead and let Joe know that would be great too…" He whispered as they walked into the elevator.

"Ha, ha, and you get Iris-the-reporter-full-of-questions all to yourself," Belén grinned.

"Now wait a minute—"

Belén stuck a hand out for him to stop talking. "Nope, too late. Oh, and you get Nina and Elliot too."

Barry knew a lost cause when he saw one. The elevator dinged open and allowed them into a rather quiet reception.

"You know, about Julian…" Belén stopped when she realized she had yet to tell Barry what she and Julian talked about earlier that day.

"He nearly shot a child, Bells," Barry revealed, leaving her mouth-open in shock. "The monster culprit? He hadn't realized it yet, but...give it a few more seconds and he would've done it."

"He's not...he's not bad," Belén tried to argue for his defense, but Barry didn't need it. As rude as Julian was, and annoying, he was no killer.

"I'll see you in a bit, okay? I'm gonna grab my things from the lab," he kissed her then hurried up the staircase.

Belén sighed and started for the offices where she could already see her mother and Joe working on no doubt the monster case.

~ 0 ~

Barry nearly jumped in his spot when he found Julian still in the lab, in the dark. Add creepy to the list, Barry made the mental note. He went straight to his desk and picked up a box he left beside it. Placing it on the desk, he started gathering his things to for the move out.

A promise was a promise after all.

Julian didn't even look at him. He was staring directly out the window, but he was disheveled like he'd been working all day. "I nearly killed a kid tonight. The monster we were chasing, it turns out it was just a hologram, operated by a 15-year-old boy. Flash came to save the day. And he saved me from doing something…" he shook his head, still unable to believe it.

Barry gave a small nod. "I heard."

"You know what's sad? That kid, he's just acting 'cause he's scared, you know? He wants everyone to be terrified and to run away from the monster so he can feel powerful. I know what that's like."

"How do you mean?"

"I come from a pretty wealthy family…" Julian rubbed his forehead, shaking his head as the words just came out. "Back in England. It's a long line of generations of old money, tradition... nonsense, really. And I was the heir. I was their firstborn son. I was supposed to inherit the lot. But I was the odd duck. Who would rather go in the garden and collect samples of insects...rather than learn how to tie a Windsor knot or which fork to use first at dinner." At the same time, Julian pulled off the tie around his neck that was already on its way to falling off. "Yeah. No, I wanted more. You know? I came here to do the one thing that they couldn't stop me from doing. Becoming a scientist... becoming a great scientist. And then just as I got to the top of my field, poof-" he snapped his fingers, "-the world changes overnight. Meta-humans. I don't know a single thing about meta-humans. I don't know how they talk. I don't know how they walk. I certainly don't know the first thing about stopping them, so... rendered useless. I suppose that's the monster that I'm running from now, just feeling powerless."

To say Barry was stunned was a rude understatement. This was the first time Julian ever spoke more than a sentence stringed together. It was the first time Julian looked like an actual person. "Yeah, I feel the same way some days, Julian. I lost my mom when I was a kid. Lost my dad recently. It's a scary world. People die. Trusts are betrayed. Things change. But change can be a good thing, you know? It can bring new experiences, new opportunities, people. You can treat 'em like a potential enemy or like a new friend. Just trust that everything's gonna be okay."

Julian gave a meek shrug of his shoulders. "Yeah, maybe you're right." It was then that he noticed Barry's push to get all his things cramped in the box. "You can stop. You can stay," he saw the surprise on Barry's face and sighed. "I was really wrong about the Flash, so I could be wrong about you too." Barry kept his hands hovering over the box, waiting for Julian to snap back and say it was a joke. But instead, Julian just grabbed his jacket and started heading out. "Good night, mate."

"Julian?" Barry suddenly called, not even sure what he was doing. "You want to get a drink?"

This time the shock was evident on Julian, but he decided to just let it flow. "Yeah. Yeah, I'd like that."

Belén's eyes flickered from Veronica to Joe in a manner that would make someone dizzy just watching. Veronica rubbed her temples, wearily, while Joe just stared at his screen.

"You mean to tell me this girl isn't your daughter—"

"Adoptive daughter, Mom," Belén clarified but received a harsh gesture to stay quiet.

"She's your friend from another Earth - an Earth where you and Barry died trying to protect her?"

"Uh, yes…" Belén gave a nod of her head.

"No, no matter how many times I think I've seen and heard it all...it never stops," Joe dropped his hands to his desk.

"I...I'm not…" Veronica pushed herself up out of her seat. "Goodnight Detective. Goodnight Belén."

Belén knew better than to argue with that smile. She chuckled to herself and waved goodbye to Joe as well. She started on her way out and saw both Julian and Barry coming down the staircase.

"Hey…" she greeted with caution. "Ready to go?"

"Actually...I…" Barry looked at Julian who shrugged with the same motion. "We were going to get some drinks…"

Belén blinked and quickly looked around. "Am I being punked?"

"You're so funny," Julian said flatly, making her smile.

"This is real?" she asked, her smile widening when the two nodded their heads. "Then go! Go! Don't let me interrupt!" she waved her hands she was leaving.

"You need a ride home—"

"Mom's on her way out," Belén cut Barry off. "Don't even worry about it! You just...you just go!" she beamed.

"Belén? Hold on," Julian quickly hurried up to her just as she pushed the button for the elevator. "You didn't happen to mention our conversation to him...did you?" he whispered.

"Uh, no. I was going to but I never got the chance. Why?" Belén blinked and looked at the confused Barry waiting for them.

"Just...wanted to know," Julian said, confirming this was not just because the other man had dissuaded his doubts.

Belén beamed. "Have fun!"

Late at night, Caitlin locked the door to her bedroom and went to open up her laptop with a blinking notification of a video message. She had waited until Anais was asleep in her guest room before opening the message of her mother.

"Caitlin," Carla's face soon appeared on the screen, "I've been going over the data we collected, and I found some disconcerting results. Your body's chemistry is changing in ways that I don't fully understand, but one thing is clear. These powers you have, the more you use them, the more difficult they're going to be to reverse. I'm sorry, honey, but listen to me. You must not use these powers under any circumstances."

Caitlin clicked the message to stop, but her frustration was already seeping through her skin. With silver-white eyes she gripped her laptop and froze it to an icicle before throwing it to the ground.

Just like that, she blinked away the silver and realized what she'd done. She crawled to the edge of her bed to see the crushed computer and...definitely feared for her sanity.

That was fun, Killer Frost echoed in her mind.

Extra Info

Her biological parents were like royalty in her small planet across the south coast of the planets. Far from behind the other universes or planets nearby, simple people. Like down to earth country folks were the people on her planet. Everyone and everything looked like Earth with a fairytale style in the architecture (very much like Naboo). Their technological advances were slower than other planets, since they shared and borrowed from one another. But no one cared. Rather rich themselves in the minimalistic living instead. 

Some rarely gifted with certain abilities when they reached a certain point in their lives, meanwhile someone are not. One powers that only some elders held dear, that few past onto their children were to remember their past lives. Such as soulmates.

Her home looked like an Enchanted Forest, the ones you would hear in fairy tales crafted to share with little girls to imagine when they play dress up. She was kinda a loner growing up, having her books of fairytales and action filled stories of heroes to read.

One day she was stepped around the streets when a voice called her, consumed and curious she followed. Her dress flew behind her, walking until she saw that appeared to a wishful bouncing voice, belonging to a tall man. He was magical in a sense, convincing to anyone who listen.

“Hello?” She asked, fixing her dress and gasping at the suited man, “Who are you?”

“W-who am i? Well I’m your ticket to advertising adventures dear.” Reply the said with a kind smile, “I’m Roland.”

“My ticket to where?”

“Well Princess Shay-era, you are a very good girl. You don’t deserve to leave in this dump of a planet, but to bring your gifts to others.”

“M-my gifts?”

“Why yes of course. Your gifts. No offense, but do you really wanna be stuck in a place with no longing a little thing like you?”

Shayera crossed her arms and narrowed her eyes, “What’s your game, pirate? What about my parents?”

“You’re planet was doomed to death anyway, just like the otherwise beautiful ones on this side of the galaxy. We rather saved your ass now.” He said with a shrugged smile and secretly he opens a portal.

“We..? Uh, w-who sent you?”

“You’re mother. She knew you wouldn’t want to listen without a little push.”

“My mama..? Wait—”

—-

The said portal opened and slides underneath her feet, Shayera landed asleep and shipped off world. She wasn’t brought with much, expect a few items. The portal trip was fine until she was knocked off course resulting, in her form landing in the phantom zone for weeks.

Finally she woke up to the pretty sky. Coachella Valley, in California. Her eyes were closed but sun shine still peaked into her face. She heard a young couple talking over her body. They were kind people from what she heard.

Shayera’s eyes gently blinked open catching the couples eyes. From their perspective, sweet young bright eyed little girl in a blush pink soft dress landed a few feet away from their home. It was a charming sight. The pair always wanted children and thought it was a gift from the universe.

“Hi sweetie, what’s your name?” Asked the women, Rosita.

“I don’t know..not remember..I’m sorry..” Said the girl looking at the couple confused but with a sense of familiarity in her eyes.

The man, Sean smiled, “It’s okay, we’re take you in.”

She smiled, gentle love in her eyes. They returned it, the couple named her Lyra Olivia Cruz. After Sean’s mom and Rosita’s grandmother.

—>

Years went on, Lyra lived a normal life as a teenager. School, friends, traveling to different place, reading and watching movies, shopping and so much more. Sure weird things happened over the city, in which her and her good friends coined it as ‘The Wall Of Weird’. Posting everything that happened onto the school newsletter and journal the ones they didn’t say anything about for themselves.

Sometimes it was like a damn comic book or music happened right before their eyes.

Until one day over the spring time, Lyra developed theses annoying headaches and decided to detox her body in the backyard nearby the small flowers she grew with her mother. It worked like a charm taking it all in, the fresh air, the sun and the greenery around her. Her fingers ran across the grass then flowers, as her hand sparkled. The flowers grew a little bit as Lyra looked at her face gasping in shock. Poor girl screamed, she though she was dreaming.

And her first thought afterwards was…

“MAMI! I THINK I GOT POWERS!?” She yelled calling her mother stumbling back in the house, practically falling face first on the wooden flooring. “Ow…” She added shortly.

Her mom was confused for a moment until Lyra showed her, more or less. After her dad came home from work, they had a long talk. Sean and Rosita told her what they know, that wasn’t much for neither of her parents to off on. The two felt sorry. They told Lyra that she was sent here in a pink dress, wearing a pair of dusty rose earrings and a small notebook that kept drawing in them. To their surprise, their daughter wasn’t mad at them or worried about anything. She knew she was loved and sent her as a blissing for a chance to live a good life.

As she started to work on her small scale of skills she promised to use her powers for good care, not destroying or manipulate nature. Eventually her friends found out finding it super cute and interesting.

—>

Everything was great until after senior year, she moved up to Central City to start exploring her job as an artist. Yes she does have the opportunity in California to draw and sell her art, but she wanted a different environment as a landscape for her cartoons. She was chatting on the phone with a friend when she noticed a young woman about to trampled over by a incoming speeding car.

She noticed a abandoned flower stand nearby, the man left for a break. So in result Lyra wiggled her fingers sparkling a dusty rose color as the flowers stretched out and grew wrapping themselves up gently pushing the woman away. It was a very subtle movement. Lyra released her touch on the flowers as they went back to their original form.

Lyra looked around hoping no one truly noticed, buying the said flower, leaving the money on the flower cart and walked away. They were tulips her favorite. However she was wrong, the woman who she saved did notice and a few days later found her at Jitters Coffee Shop.

Leanna O’ Conner was called in by her friend Officer Penny Spivet to see her.

Lyra refused the idea, she wasn’t one to use her powers very often and doesn’t want to be like the hero The Blur or anything.

Leanna wasn’t suggesting that and said, “Girl I ain’t asking for you to do that. But you were spotted and tracked by a camera, your smart and sweet and kind. We could use you on the team, every once in a while.”

“I’ll think about it..what do you know about me?” Lyra asked curiously.

“You grew up in Cali, you studied news and stories eventually becoming a artist for the paper. And you can manipulate planets?”

“I can control and manipulate them to grow or even strengthen themselves.”

“If you come by to the labs, I’ll like to see it sometime.”

The sometime came soon as the day she visited, The Team Flash was fighting King Shark. She had to help them by growing a cage from the ground up to hold him off in the park until they can get handcuffs on the huge half animal. Caitlin and Iris grinned impressed. Once it was done, Lyra agreed to come over every once in a while to help, but she was more than happy to hang out with the crew.

—

Her, Cisco and the others would do movie nights. Referencing comic books, tv shows and movies. In their universes, Marvel was a common thing that would mention among pop culture.

The superheroes in a barn reference, excelsior, spidey senses tingling, superhero landing, Hulk references, X-Men and etc. Earth’s Mightiest Heroes, so much more being named dropped ever so causally no one bats an eye!

—-

One day Iris even mentioned, “You said you were touched on journalism right?”

“Yeah? I usually do the doodles.” She replied one day as the girls were hanging out.

“Do you know a column called ‘The Wall Of Weird’? It was popping up on again on my throwback new feed.”

“Hahahahaha! I do actually, cause i help write it.”

“No way!”

“Yeah it was a fun thing we dropped online, I didn’t know it reached cities.”

“Girl it’s the Internet, of course it did.”

—-

Hell Lyra when met Kara Danvers and others, she fell head over heels in love. Yeah she loved the other teams but Team Supergirl was unique.

With her being from technically another planet, the colorful city, the similarities between perspective she shared, and Winn was her absolute favorite. All having to save each other at least once. Oh did I mentioned how nerdy everyone was with certain things? It was super cool!

Winn opened the door where she locked in and yelled out grinning, “Hi! I’m um here to rescue you, princess.”

Even though she was chained up, Lyra grinned and gasps, “Hmm. Aren’t you a little short to be a stormtrooper?”

“You rewatched Star Wars without me?!”

“Actually it was me and James!”

“Traitors! Me and Kara rewatched Wizard Of Oz without you guys.”

“You traitors!”

—

Alex was a badass, Lyra supporting her every single step of the way to her journey. In result, Alex helped her try to find more of her heritage whenever asked.

She was one of the most supportive people in her life and vise versa.

—

Plus she wouldn’t lie saying she had a small crush on Supergirl. I mean how could you not have a crush on Kara Danvers?! She’s adorable!

Also, they worked together so they get to see each other almost every day. Other days they were chilling together.

“You’re gonna love me forever. Close your eyes!” Lyra said running into the apartment.

“Okay? Please tell me it’s a puppy!” Kara yelled out with her eyes closed.

“Okayyyy! Now open ‘em.”

Kara gasped seeing pizza from their favorite restaurant, donuts from the shop across from CatCo, and a dvd of the film The Great Gatsby.

“OH MY GOD I LOVE YOU!” Kara yelled in glee hugging her.

“HAHAHA! IT WAS NO BIGGIE!” Lyra yelled back hugging her.

——

If you wonder if she gets to see her friends and family, Kara and Lyra are able portal or teleport using a device Cisco made. Winn sometimes had to adjust the schedule or corrected coordinates for travel. 

Sometimes it leads her into trouble bouncing from once place or universe to the next…

I paced my apartment for a few minutes, anxiously anticipating Ivy's arrival. I fiddled with the note in my hand, choosing to hide it under the fruit bowl on the table. I wouldn't open it, this was Victor's mail. He might tolerate me, but I didn't want to risk it, besides I respected him too much to commit a small-time federal crime like this. I'd deliver the note by hand. But that would have to wait, mystery child would have to wait.

"Somebody looks nervous" Ivy mused, suddenly appearing behind me.

What was it with me not hearing people come in today? The shit with Butch and Tabby really had me fucked up, but it was a necessary evil.

"Cut to the chase Ivy, I may literally have all week, but I'd prefer if we got this over with. Believe it or not, my life doesn't revolve around when you decide to blackmail me."

"Fine, I'll make it quick. Pack your bags, were needed in Central City."

Central city, my brother had a friend there I believe. He'd yet to introduce Thea or me, but this wasn't a social visit. I'm sure Ivy won't let me out of her sight once we get there. I packed my things quickly, leaving the note hidden from possible intruders. I wasn't stupid, people broke into my apartment even when they knew I wasn't home. Nobody in Gotham had a sense of personal space. Car rides with Ivy were miserable, but I put on my music to drown out my own thoughts.

When I woke, we were outside a warehouse. It looked so concrete and impersonal, nothing like the places I usually met Ivy in. It reminded me of somewhere from my childhood, somewhere distant I couldn't quite place. But it didn't give me a good feeling. I quickly exited the car, not wanting to wait for her word. She wasn't a very patient person; it was a childlike quality of hers.

The people inside were scientist. They had distinct white lab coats and the whole place smelt of Lysol and chlorine.

"If you had all these scientist Ivy, why do you need me?" I asked annoyed.

She paused, stopping dramatically in our path.

"I'm sorry, is little miss sunshine complaining about her free trip out of the city?"

"Kidnapping is not a vacation Ivy. And I'm serious, I don't like this- this place. It creeps me out."

"You've slept in Victor Zsasz house before, and you're creeped out by a lab?"

"Victor would t hurt me; I don't know these people. Most scientist, even with the best intentions, fuck things up. I doubt your pals in there are good people if they're helping you."

"That what does that say about you, My sweet Magnolia?"

I scoffed, pushing past her and making my way to an empty table on the side of the room. I threw my stuff down and vaulted myself onto it. I watched as Ivy interested the men. Some of them looked like hungry animals, eyeing her up and down. Others look absolutely terrified of her. I was brought back to reality when one of the men approached me.

"You must be the subject she brought us."

"Excuse me?"

"Sorry, that's not what I meant. Miss Pepper told us you were special, wanted us to run some tests. Said you could help our cause."

"And what exactly is your cause? If I'm gonna be a guinea pig, it better be worth it."

"Miss Pepper didn't tell you, she said you were happy to help?"

"Let me ask you something-"

"Mason."

"Mason. Does Ivy seem like the type to ask nicely to you? Do I look like I want to be here? Does this look of confusion on my face indicate to you in any way that I have a single clue what is going on right here, right now? No, it doesn't. Well, would you look at that. Humour me for a second, and fill a girl in."

His face flushed red with embracement.

"Oh, well umm, its kind of a long story, But miss Pepper and our boss both need help resurrecting something."

"Yeah, Ivy said that to. My question, why is everyone dancing around this "Something" I have no say in this, it's not like I'm just gonna walk away when I find out what it is."

"It- his name is Grodd. Gorilla Grodd."

"I was brought here to resurrect a damn Gorilla?!?!" I screamed.

Everyone in the room stopped what they were doing to stare at me. Ivy glared from across the room. I glared right back. I took a deep breath calming myself.

"Why?"

"Why what?" "Why are we brining an animal back to life? It must be important if this many people have been brought in for the job."

"He's not just any Gorilla, he has telepathy. He can control Minds. He's also the leader of all talking Gorillas."

"Oh, is that all? No big deal. Just necromancing an evil talking, Mind-controlling Gorilla, for unknown reason. Easy peasy."

"You don't seem thrilled."

"Really Mason? I don't? How ya guess? Is it the fear in my eyes, or are you just happy to see me? No if you excuse me, I'm gonna go bash my had into the wall until I figure out how I'm supposed to do this."

If it was an option, I'd kill Ivy. Nobody has ever made me this mad before. I wasn't even this Mad at Slade when he killed my mother. Of course, I was adopted, but I didn't care any less for Moira then my siblings did. Hell, I was in the family for about as long as Oliver disappeared for. I walked over to Ivy, pulling her asside.

"Problem?" She asked, a smug look on her face.

"Why didn't you just tell me what I was actually here for? Don't you think you can trust me at this point?"

"Toying with you is half the fun Blossom. You're just so gullible. It's what I like about you."

"Why are we doing it?"

"Why do you want to know."

"Because I sacrafied a lot to get my ass here Ivy, and I swear to God, if this was all for some silly stupid Gorilla, I am going to burn your fucking green house to dust."

Not gonna lie, it would be easy to call my bluff on that one. I could never consciously kill that many plants. But it had to be something she cared about, and Other than Selena, she didn't care for much. That's why she was practically untouchable. Ivy didn't have any of those pesky human connection getting in her way. I'm sure she'd even kill Selena if it came down to it.

She grabebd me by the throat and pulled me close.

"Don't ever threaten me like that again little rose bud, or I'll use you as fertilizer."

"Yeah, and Y/N will torture your ass before Victor kills you."

"I'm not stupid, I heard they broke up. Mommy and Daddy won't come to save you this time."

"Fine." I growled.

She let go.

"What I need from Grodd, is none of your business. Do your part, and I'll let you leave her unscathed."

I wasn’t sure what rush of confidence came over me, but I was fed up with her at this point. The way her was exhausting and I really wasn’t excited about being used as a science experiment. I was lucky nobody else in Gotham knew about my blood disorder, that could get bad very quickly. It was something only my brother knew about, he never told Thea or Mom, and he made me swear to never explore it. It was better if I was just “normal”. I grabbed Ivy by the wrist as she turned to leave.

“I do this for you, you stop threatening the people I care about.” I said.

She smirked, that annoying sickly sadistic smirk. It nearly rivales Y/N’s.

“You don’t make the demands here Petal.” The nickname fell off her tongue with sharp malice. “Bring my friend back, and we’ll discuss the terms of what I decide to let you do with the rest of your useless life.”

I scoffed, rolling my eyes.

“Useless? You need me? Why else would you have worked so hard to get me here. If you could have picked anyone else, you would have. If you really thought I was useless, you would have killed me our first meeting. Yet you keep dragging me around, why is that Ivy?”

“You mean nothing to me Blossom, just a means to an end, remember that.”

She walked away, leaving me there seething. My body was shaking from the amount of rage I had. I swore I’d rip off her head if it wouldn’t upset Selena. That poor girl had been through enough. And I didn’t need Bruce seeing me as a killer.

The week had passed quickly, it was almost impossible to keep up with time at this point. The scientists didn’t go home, they just switched shifts. I had given more blood then I ever have in my entire life and they rand test after test. Poking and prodding and Grodd and I. Though I envied the Gorilla, at least he couldn’t feel anything they were doing to him.

Maybe I didn’t know much about telepathic Gorillas, but I did know one thing for sure. When you’re dead, you’re dead. I’d only ever brought my plants back to live before, and that bird that hit my window that one time. But I didn’t understand how it worked. My blood just healed things, loving things. My plays roots still clung to life, when normal methods wouldn’t have revived the flowers. And the bird was freshly dead, neck snapped just moments before he sprung back to life in my hands. This Grodd, how long had he been gone?

Could my blood work on humans? Perhaps it was why I healed so quickly all those times I’d been kidnapped. Between Gotham and Star city, I didn’t have the best track record. The latter being because my family was important. Maybe that’s why Bruce was always being taken from Alfred, he has money, status. He was important. But in Gotham, I was none of those things. Yes I still managed to always wind up in situations like this. It was frustrating.

After the second week I’d grown home sick. Something I hadn’t expected at all. All this time in Gotham and I never wanted to go back to the Mansion. Of course I missed my brother and sister, but I didn’t have any friends back there. I was the weird adopted kid, who’s brother went missing and mom was murdered. But now, now I missed Oswald’s cooking. I missed Victors stupid jokes about kills, and Y/N scolding him in French just because he couldn’t understand. I missed my quiet time alone in my room, reading the books Bruce would send to me. I missed annoying Jim and Harvey.

The pain from the tests didn’t even bother me anymore. It was dull, something I could handle. Ivy grew more frustrated as time went on, but I knew we were getting closer I could feel it. I could feel him. Gorilla Grodd felt more like a tangible being now. Like he wasn’t some myth, despite his body being right before me, I had no proof he wasn’t simply a normal gorilla. Yet somehow I could feel a presence.

By the third week, we’d cracked it. Everyone was exhausted but it would work, it had to work. Grodd was large, so it took a lot of my blood to pump through his veins. And so we waited, let the machines do the work, until his body kicked in on its own. And when it did, I could feel it. I don’t know why I was surprised. I always felt connected to my plants, they were like little parts of me. And the bird, I felt connected to him, but it was so small. So minuscule it seemed almost like I was imagining it. I could hear him before he woke.

“Human.” A voice echoed.

I may have been tried, but I wasn’t stupid. I remained nonchalant, if he wanted everyone to know he was awake he would. I looked down at my hands, trying my best to clear my thoughts. It sounded stupid, but I read in one of my books once, it was helpful to think slow and clear in the presence of mind readers. That is of course if you wanted them to understand you.

“You’re awake.”

“I am. I can feel you.” He stated.

I tried not to react. It was odd having this new connection confirmed.

“I suppose it’s because there’s a lot of me in you right now. You haven’t produced any of your own blood yet.”

I was surprised I’d picked up on that so quickly. I mean I was a biologist, but I studied in the plant division. But science just made sense to me. And “magic” is just science that can’t be explained yet. Not that I believed I was magic, most likely just cursed.

"I have died." He stated it was plain, void of emotion.

It made me sad somehow. Up until now, he was just a Gorilla, a body that had already passed on. there wasn't much to be sad about, I didn't know the nature of his passing or anything about him. But hearing him talk now, made him real. It made him metaphorically human. And I couldn't help but wonder what he saw and if he felt anything.

"You seem sad Human."

I visibly frowned. I don't know what personality I was expecting, being someone Ivy would want to associate herself with, I expected more hostility.

"Nobody told me how you died."

I didn't know it was possible for my voice to sound smaller in my own head.

"Good Human." He declared.

I scrunched my face in confusion.

"Nice Human."

Grodd finally decided to open his eyes, moving on the cold table to turn to look at me. His movements were sluggish, but I assumed that was just a minor side effect of being brought back. The scientist rushed into the room, immediately trying to prod him. He squirmed uncomfortably, but despite his large stature, he wasn't at full strength yet.

"Humans, hurt Grodd." His voice sounded like shouting in my head.

I got off the cold sterile table I had been on as well, undoing the straps and ripping the tubbing out of my arm. he had enough blood to sustain himself now, he would theoretically no longer need mine. And that was just a risk I would have to take. The world spun for a moment when I stood but I composed myself.

"Stop!" I shouted.

I tried to push some of the scientists away.

"Give him some room!" I begged.

I pushed the last of the scientists out of the way and stood in front of him defensively. I did not do all this work to bring him back, just for them to push him past his limit and kill him right away.

"Give him time, he needs to adjust," I explained.

One of the lead scietists scoffed.

"And what do you know of science, little girl?" He spat.

"This may not be my field of expertise, but what I do know is when a living creature is hurting. I did not bring him back just so you could hurt him." I hissed.

I heard the familiar click of heels, and a tsk fall from Ivy's mouth.

"Well... well. well, look who's finally awake. And what do we have here Little Magnolia?"

"Ivy-" She held up her hand, silencing me.

"You said you would cooperate." "And I have been, but-"

"I will track down, Tabitha, and Butch and I'll tell Jim about our little arrangement. Do you think he'll be able to look at you again after all you've done little flower? Do you think Tabby and Butch would forgive you for leading them on, and then leading them to their deaths?"

"Don't you dare touch them!" "Then step away from the gorilla, your part in this is done. Go home."

It was tempting to believe if I just left without a fight, she'd actually let me go. But I knew better. She'd call me back the second she needed me for something else. I looked back a Grodd, he watches the situation with careful calculation.

"What are you going to do with him?"

Ivy Smiled.

"Your heart is bigger than I gave you credit for. But your mind is still foolish."

"That's rich coming from someone who was a literal child just months ago." I snared in my mind.

Grodd seemed to have collected this information.

"Leave Magnolia, this is your last warning."

I looked back at the gorilla once more.

"Don't let her trick you, she's quite deceptive. I don't wish to see you dead on that table again." I warned.

Ivy seemed to have picked up on our silent conversion, and she wasn't happy about it. I'm sure she thought we were conspiring against her. I tangle of leaves suddenly wrapped itself around my limbs. The vines snaked around my body and pulled me upwards toward the ceiling. I was hanging, by my feet now. Ivy stood before me.

"You really don't know how to listen."

She held my chin between her thumb and forefinger, gripping tightly.

"I don't want you to hurt him."

She laughed in my face, squeezing me tighter.

"When will you understand Sweet Magnolia, I do not care what you want." The vines tightened around my limbs, thorns digging into my flesh. I hissed out in pain.

"Protect human?" Grodd asked.

"Don't" I warned.

"Stop communicating with my Pet." Ivy proclaimed.

"I thoguht you said he was a friend." "Oh, he will be, once he realises we have a common goal. But until then-"

She motioned for the scientist to approach Grodd. I assumed their plan was to try to tranquilise the beast. I could see the fear in his eyes. The vines wrapped tighter into me now, tight enough to draw blood.

"Don't fight, she'll only hurt you more," I advised.

"Human bleeding."

"I'm fine-"

"I asked you to stop that! You know your eyes go glossy when he's in your head right. That's how you know his compulsions working. Strange, how strong his reach is considering he just woke up. Imagine how much could do at full strength. I'll give you one last chance Magnolia leave, and tell no one about this, or stay, and I'll make Grodd run all of our little experiments on your mind, and yours alone. Do you think you're strong enough or that? Or do you think you'd finally crack?"

The smile on her face was disgusting.

"I'm sorry," I said out loud.

Grodd seemed to understand the apology was for him, as he finally tipped fighting off the scientist and let them inject him. But Ivy seemed to fall for the apology as well.

"Good girl." She gently tapped my face with her palm.

She moved the vines so I was pulled down right in front of her once more.

"And remember, you tell anyone about this little field trip, I'll know. And I'll take great pleasure in ripping you apart and using you for fertiliser."

"I won't" I swore plainly.

She finally let the veins go, I dropped to the floor. A huff of air left my lungs as the wind was knocked out of me. I looked back at Grodd one more time to see him trying to fight off the tranquillizer.

"Sleep," I said softly.

I thought a lot about Grodd on the train ride home. despite the distance, it still felt as though I was right there beside him. I could feel his fear, his rage. I still felt the sting of Ivy's vines. Poison, I suspected, as I felt the wound pulsate gently under my touch. I thought about everyone back in Gotham. How would they respond to my absence? I'd been without my phone since I left it in my apartment.

When I got home, I was surprised to see my apartment still intact. I assumed someone would have torn it apart by now. But it seemed as if nothing was moved from its place. It felt odd. But it eas nice to be out of the immediate grasp of Ivy Pepper. I despised her almost more than my brother despised Slade Wilson.

AN: Alright, I wrote and publish the next chapter before this one, so this picks up with "Home, Sweet Home." Will write about the mystery girl in the next chapter. Thank you all so much for showing my characters so much love!
