"And here kids you will see the famous Annabeth Allen."
I woke with a start. Only realizing I was still in near my forest "camp". It was more like a bunch of sticks with a tent and a fire. I used to be part of a research camp with other kids my age. We were each given one canteen, a small bag, and flint and steel. It was the night before when I was on guard that I ran for it. Now at least three miles away from that camp I wake. I ran for one reason to protect my fellow " campers" and myself, if any of them knew how I got to the tops of trees or never liked to swim with any one else I would be in a museum right now. So to avoid that capture I would have to kill the ones who found out just like I had to kill some of the instructors and medics. The only one that knew that I didn't kill was Jacin. He only kept his life because I was afraid of him. But right now they would be waking up so I got moving. I started to pick up my supplies and attempted to stretch my blue wings with a hint of green after keeping them tucked on my back for that past few years. I grab my knife, the flint and steel, and everything else and got on my way. I walked for about two hours and stopped to eat lunch. Lunch for me was the typical for me a meal ready to eat and whatever spare jerky I had left from the stuff I stole before I left. I walked for about another hour before I found a game trail and with the lack of water decided that I should follow it. I was right and it led to a river and I caught a rabbit, two squirrels, and three fish. While I was feasting by the river I heard the faint sound of a trap being set. I spread my wings to take off and suddenly am dangling by one of them.I can hear the faint sound of foot steps.
"hello," I call hoping they don't come near," please don't come near me. I don't want to hurt you or do worse."
"I bet that you couldn't catch me," the stranger responded his voice modified by his vocal cords vibrating.
There was a whoosh of air and I an suddenly falling to the ground. I extend my wings and land like a feather. I hear the sound of foot steps again and turn in their direction. Suddenly there is this power coursing through my body and I see him. Running towards me but this time a lot slower.I fly up to dodge him.
"Listen we just want to learn more about you. Two years ago there was a wave of energy that hit this area. My and my friend would like to know if you were affected by it?"
"In more ways than one," I answer letting my self manipulate the power and use it to propel myself at the man.
I start to run at him but hear a bow being pulled back. I punch the guy in the stomach and turn to catch the arrow flying at my neck. But I was too slow and the arrow was stuck in my shoulder.
"Nano Bytes courtesy of Ray Palmer," Said another man using a voice modifier, "they disable your speed so my friend can do this."
I Turned around and got a fist to the face.
Chapter 2
I woke up and saw an I.V in my arm attached to about 30 different bags. Then someone walked up to my bed and I recognized the face of my mothers murderer in an instant. Dr. Harrison Wells.
I had to struggle not to attack the guy right there. He must've noticed the struggle because he called for someone named Cisco. Cisco came over and gave my head a slight shake and my eye's fluttered open. He pulled out his phone and made a quick call. Within seconds the man who punched me in the face was next to my bed.
He smiled and in that same voice said," You put up quite a fight. Me and my friend haven't had a fight like that since the reverse flash came around."
It was this that moment I started to realize that they weren't going to hurt me. I sat up and saw Dr. Wells again and started screaming at him that he killed Nora Allen. Every one seemed taken aback that I knew this and the flash said that he should probably not be here.
In that voice he always used he asked," Do you know Nora Allen? How and do you have any connections with a Barry Allen."
"Yea Barry Allen was my brother," I responded slowly," Nora was my mom."
This seemed to take him aback and the rest of the people in the room looked very I heard the voice of my mother's murderer.
"So let me get this strait. You mother was murdered and your brother just happened to...," he was cut of by someone lightly hitting him in the arm.
"Wow the moment I get to meet my hero I meet the man who murdered my mother." I said beginning to anger.
"Hey easy he isn't the guy that killed is from another earth,'' replied the guy in the suit.
Then someone came over and said something about talking in private.I could fell myself slipping into unconsciousness once must've been a few days when I woke because the guy in the suit was sitting on a medical bed. It was five minuets before the girl realized I was looking. She bent over and whispered to him and they both looked over at me.
"So how was the cosplay? I heard that there weren't that many people who got the chance to dress up as the mighty flash," She said a little too loudly.
"Oh it was great," he responded while gingerly lifting up his shirt," I got to play the part when he got attacked by captain cold and heat wave.
His shirt was up so you could see a big purple Bloch on his side and he said something about makeup but I interrupted calling him a liar. Which I could tell by how gingerly he lifted up the shirt. He looked over at me like I was his family member or something and he just stared.
"Well how come I couldn't tell if you had been telling the truth about who you really were," he said looking as if he had just defeated his arch nemesis.
" You can test the blood if you want but it would only tell you that I wasn't lying," I replied as he looked at me suspiciously. Like he couldn't make up his mind to trust me or not.
He nodded like it was a good idea and walked over to me to get blood and test it. It only took the tester a few minuets to test the blood and when it came back he looked at me like I had died and came back from the dead.
" Barry it is about Patty," someone yelled from the corridor," Zoom took her!"
Chapter three
"Did he just say Zoom," I asked and when I got no answer I said more anxiously," Well?"
"Y-Yes," the girl stuttered.
As soon as she finished I got out of bed, despite what they all said, and grabbed my knife off the table with my leather jacket. The guy in the suit, who I swore I recognized without his mask on, grabbed me. I didn't even struggle to get him off as I took off at the speed of light. It wasn't until I was at Zoom's torture camp that I realized he was following me.
"So do you know who this guy is," he asked intrigued.
"He was one of the directors of the research camp I was trapped in. He tortured me and took the speed I had gained from the energy wave. He did it using a needle that was stuck into my chest," I replied a little surprised at how he flinched at the last part.
I walked over to the pile of leaves that hid the trap door to get in.I floated down and watched as the guy, who now had his mask back on, climbed the ladder down. When I opened the door to the main room I saw the unexpected. There was a girl with zoom standing right next to her.
The guy who followed me ,who was apparently called the Flash, ran over towards her but was pushed away by Zoom. He got back up and took Jacin's, Zoom's real name, distraction to get to the girl and pull her off to the side. Jacin's distraction was me. As soon as he saw me I pulled out the knife from the holster behind my shirt and took off to him. At the same time he took out a needle and ran towards me in an attempt to slow me down again. I veered to the left and caught his back with the knife. He turned sharply to his left and unmasked the flash. The girls eyes widened and she made an expression that said, a lot of stuff just became so much clearer about you.
He looked at me and said in a threatening voice" Annabeth you just come with me peacefully and he doesn't get hurt. You just have to come peacefully."
"So are we now killing innocent civilians now.I thought you were better than that Jacin," I replied casually not knowing who the flash really was.
"Oh but you and I both know that he isn't just any old civilian now do we," he responded smiling but was cut short by the flash.
"Annabeth don't let him take you," he said making my heart almost stop, because that was the last thing my brother had said to me before I was taken from him.
When Jacin saw the expression on my face he said, "Oh he didn't tell you who he was didn't he. Annabeth Allen meet Barry Allen," he said laughing after he introduced us.
Chapter 4
What he didn't know was that this made my adrenalin and anger and fear worse and I charged at him not knowing what I was doing. I ended up stabbing his arm forcing him to drop my brother. Suddenly the bang of a gunshot echoed through the room and hit him in the shoulder.
He looked behind him and saw that the girl untangled herself and had reached her gun. He screamed in anger and left us to the empty room by ourselves. I looked at Barry and started to cry. I walked up to him and he looked scared that I might punch him, but all I did was hug him and cried into his shoulder. It was no longer than a second for him to realize that I was just glad to see him he embraced the hug and we just stood there.
"Umm don't mind if I ask but who are you," asked the girl looking suspicious.
" Oh sorry I'm Annabeth," I started, " Annabeth Allen."
She looked at Barry confused, then said," Patty Spivot," and shook my hand.
Chapter Five
When we got back every one heard what had happened over Barry's speaker system. Then Barry Introduced me to every one. I told him that I had to go see a friend in starling first.
"Ok but be careful. We don't know if Jacin has recovered yet," he said kissing me goodbye on the forehead.
"I am always careful," I said smiling.
I went out side and took flight on my way to halfway there I landed and ran the rest of the way until I was outside of the city. I then took flight again to avoid the interest of civilians here.I wasn't paying attention when I hit a glass building and broke the glass. Before I even hit the ground my face was plastered to the floor and my neck was being threatened with a knife and two bows.I felt the pressure on my neck release but when I went to get up I still saw two bows pulled back and aimed at my heart. I pulled out the knife showed it to them and put it gently on the floor. There was no sign of Oliver among the two archers and one looked like she just picked up the bow and pulled.
" Listen I mean you no harm and I know you guys are contacts with the arrow so if I could just...," was all I got out until I heard 'Guys I'm back' and recognized oliver's voice.
"Umm oliver can you help me out here?" I asked desperately.
There was running and then an astonished thing I know oliver was taking back his bow and making the other girl put her bow down.
" Bethany it is nice to see you," he said looking at my wings and the knife at my feet.
"Yea just wanted to let you know the escape plan worked and my real name is Annabeth," I said pausing to let it set in," Annabeth Allen."
There were some confuse looks shot at me before I said that my brother, who I just got back, would probably be worried that some bad person took said that it was nice to see me out and I jumped back out the window and ran down the side of the building.I was running out of the city when I noticed a glint out of the corner of my eye. I looked over and saw Jacin running beside me. I jump and start to fly but he was too fast and he was able to push me back down.
"Jacin," I said smiling," thanks for reuniting me with my family."
He just smiled and grabbed the front of my smoking hoodie. He said nothing but only took his hand and stuck it in my chest. It felt as if he took something and then I realized what it was but I was too late. He ran off. He didn't need me any more to harness the speed force. He could harness his own.
