This is also posted on my Quotev! I didn't steal it! Anywho, I wrote this back in October and forgot about it until my friend reminded me about it! Enjoy! Also, you can find all the outfits on my Bio
"Pick up, pick up, pick up!" I exclaim, tapping my foot impatiently on the ground. I get that he got in late last night, but that was no excuse to be tardy! "Hi, this is Barry Allen-" I slam my finger down on the hang up button, silencing the voice.
Detective West sighs "Calm down, Cazares. I'm sure Allen will be here soon," The dark man also looks annoyed. Short introduction; My name's Anastasia Cazares, twenty-four years of age. Work for the CSI as scientific analyzer in Central City. IQ is high, but I don't usually use it to it's "full capacity" as Joe puts it. I'm dealing with a robbery, waiting for my idiotic friend slash coworker, Bartholomew Allen. The boy I've known since I was in fifth grade.
"Second robbery this week," Joe, or Detective West, informs as I stood next to him and my other coworkers. "The teller ID Clyde Mardon as the shooter
Detective Chyre sighs "What? Oh geez, the Mardon brothers are back?"
Joe hands Captain Singh the photos of the brothers "What'd we got?"
"Perps took out the bank, shot out the cameras, and as a chaser, killed the security guard over there," My face scrunched up as my gaze fell to the dead body. "I got units kicking on doors of known Mardon brothers associates,"
"CSI been over it?" Singh turns to me, and Chyre and West shot me a look of pity. "Well?"
"Um, no?" I gulp "My partner isn't here yet,"
Singh looks as if he was trying not to blow a fuse. Barry was almost always late. If he had a superpower, that would be it. "Where's Allen?" No one answers and then the ranting begins "West, Cazares, I know you've known Allen for years, but you can't keep covering for him. And since he's not here, I'm going to have to carry out this investigation without him," Just as he finishes, our missing person arrives.
"Sorry I'm late, Captain Singh," Barry apologizes, coming up next to me. For this, I whack him upside the head.
Singh gave Barry a look of disappointment "What was it this time, Mr. Allen? Did you forget to set your alarm clock?" Barry was about to answer, but was cut off once more "Before you answer, may I remind you the excuse you gave me last time was car trouble. Do you know why that one was particularly memorable?"
Barry sighs before answering "I do not own a car,"
"I surprised you even I have a license," I mumble, taking out a pair of white gloves, preparing for the analyzing.
To save Barry from a lecture, Joe has decided to step in "He was running an errand for me. Barry, did you get me what you asked?" Joe sent him a look that said 'work with it'.
Barry may be smart, but he can be a slow thinker "Uh...yeah, yeah, I did. I have it right here," Barry pulls out a half eaten Hershey's bar, making me face palm along with Joe "I had a few bites of it," Barry stands there awkwardly, not knowing what he should do.
"Allen, case, analyze with me, now!" I force him tiny hints as I hand him gloves.
Barry nods "Right, right," He walks past me and I follow him to the tire tracks. Barry laid himself on the floor and I know that both of our minds were thinking the same thought. Rear, super-wide tires, twelve inches with asymmetrical tread.
"Getaway car is a Mustang Shelby GT500," Barry informs
"Shelby's have a rear, super-wide tire, specific to that model," I say "Twelve inches with an asymmetrical tread," Barry raises a brow "Yes, I know stuff,"
Barry turns back to the scene, looking at brown mush on the pavement "There's something else," He stood up and took Chyre's pen "Thanks," Taking the pen, he picks up some of the brown mush, sniffing it but quickly turning away "Phical escerimin, animal I'd guess,"
"My dad gave me that pen," Chyre commented. I gave him the 'so?' look "Before he died,"
Barry and I looked at each other, both cringing slightly "Sorry,"
Sitting in a spinny chair, I groan as I look over the files of the Mardon brothers. Bored...bored...bored...I've worked in this same lab with Barry for nearly two years, it got boring after the first week. I know every gadget and gizmo in here and more.
"I'm ready to see this atom smasher, smashing," I look up to see my second best friend and Joe's daughter, Iris West "Catch," Iris throws me a white paper bag filled with cronuts. I'm hating Jitters right now because they've got me addicted to them. I had one for breakfast, another for lunch, and this was my snack.
Barry sighs "There was a shooting today. Your dad needs us to process some evidence. Which means, I don't know if we'll be able to make it to S.T.A.R. Labs," Oh yeah, now I remember. The particle accelerator thingy was going on tonight. Barry had been geeking out over it for the last few weeks. I'll admit, I am a bit excited to go as well.
"But seeing this thing turn on is like your dream," Iris says "Your sad, little nerdy dream,"
I laugh in agreement "She's right. It's your geeky dream,"
"Even Ana agrees with me," Iris steals one of Barry's fries "Besides, I cancelled a date for this,"
"Hands off my fries," Barry grabs them and walks away to another computer "Unbelievable,"
"I'm stress eating over my dissertation," Iris informs "We started selling cronuts at Jitters, I ate two today. That's Ana's, like, sixth," I nod "If I don't graduate soon, I'm gonna be more muffin top then woman,"
I shake my blonde head "No, I'll be more muffin top then woman,"
"You both look great," Barry says, causing a slight blush to spread over my cheeks. He moves again, turning to our clear white board.
Iris picks up Barry's science magazine "What's so important about this particle accelerator anyways?"
"Why did you ask that? He's going to start again," I groan, before Barry went off.
"Harrison Wells work in quantum theory is light years ahead of anything they're doing at Cern,"
I roll my eyes "English, Barry. When Iris and I are around, you use English, not geek,"
Barry mimics my eye roll and uses a marker to explain, placing a large dot in the middle "Imagine, that that dot is everything the human race has ever learned until this moment,"
"Does that include twerking?"
"Sí," I answer
Barry continues and draws a larger circle "That, is everything we can learn from the particle accelerator. It's a whole new way at looking at physics! It will literally change the way that we think about everything,"
Iris sighs "You and Ana seriously need to start dating. You're both been single for two long and it isn't good for your health,"
Before I can respond, Joe walks in "Hey, leave 'em alone. They're working,"
"Hi, Dad," Iris says "Your test thingy is done," Barry and I rush over to the computer, me peering over his shoulder at the results.
"We think the Mardon brothers are hiding on a farm," Barry informs "The phical matter I found on the street, it was cow manure, which contained traces of acitretin syclean,"
Both Iris and Joe look lost, so I use English "It's an antibiotic. Only four farms in the area use still use it in their fields," A printed copy of the farms location came out and I hand it to Joe.
"Bet you'll find a pretty sweet Shelby parked in front of one of them," Barry has that cocky, yet cute, smirk on his face.
Iris pats her dad's shoulder "Dad, seeing that the two genius's," She looks me over "Well, one and a half genius's," I stick my tongue out at her "How about letting them go to S.T.A.R. Labs?"
There was a beat before Joe answers "Fine," We all smile, before Barry and I hope out of our chairs and race Iris to the door.
There was a lot of protestors at S.T.A.R. Labs. Looks like some people didn't want this thing made or being turned on. Due to this, security was tight.
I keep by Barry's right while Iris is on his left, both of us liking arms with him. We've always been like this. Known them since fifth grade when Barry tried to punch a bully. Key word is tried. He ended up with his first ever black eye that day, but it was worth helping me he says. Bully's had been both of our problems since we were kids. Hell, they still are now.
"So, my little geek, how was your trip to Starling? Did you find proof of the impossible? Or just make Joe mad for no reason?" I ask, using my pet name for him.
"Before I answer, I'd like to point out that you have the same IQ level as me. Calling me a geek is practically calling yourself a geek," Barry says
Iris then jumps in "But she speaks english when she rambles,"
I smile at her, before allowing Barry to continue "Actually, while I was away I had a chance to think about, you know, relationships," Oh, did he meet a girl? "Well, I'm not in one, and you're not in one either. Ana, you're one of my best friends,"
"You and Iris are my best friends as well," I feel my heart race as I answer "Why else would we be here? May I remind you that too much science is bad for my complexion,"
Barry diverts his gaze from the both of us. "That's not what I meant,"
"I know what you're going to say," I tell him
He cut me off. "I'm not sure you do,"
"Actually, I do know what you're going to say," I interrupt him "Even though the three of us practically grew up together and we're pretty much like siblings,"
"But because we're not siblings, it can get pretty weird to talk to us about girls,"
"We just want you to know that it shouldn't be awkward for you to talk to us about females," I finish "There's nothing more that we want more then for you to met the right person that totally sees, loves, and adores you for the incredible guy you are,"
I see something flash in his eyes. Was it sadness? "Took the words right out of my mouth," The smile he has on seemed so artificial.
"Awe, aren't you glad we know you so well?" Iris asks, giving him a playful shove.
Harrison Wells then steps out, standing behind the clear podium. The many people, including us, begin to clap and Barry seems more happy. "Thank you. My name is Harrison Wells. Tonight, the future begins. The work my team and I do here will change our understanding of physics, will bring about advancements in power, advancements in medicine, and trust me, that future will be here faster than you think," The crowd began to clap once more.
"Hey! My laptop!" Barry and I turn around to see a man running off with Iris's bag "It's got my dissertation!" I groan. Are we serious right now? Of all the times to mug, it's now?
Quickly, Barry takes off after the mugger, Iris and I follow him from behind. Barry has always been a fast runner, so he got far ahead of us. We run out of the building to catch up with Barry, only to find him leaning up against the wall with a bloody nose.
"Are you okay?" Iris asks, helping him stand up straight.
Barry nods "Yeah,"
"I'll go after him," I suggest, about to take off after the guy, but Barry stops me.
"Don't,"
"Why?"
There is a silence before Barry answers "You're in a dress,"
Barry holds a tissue to his nose as Iris sat down next to me. His nose got a bit bloodier after he made that comment about my dress and I.
"Who is that guy and what is he so proud of? He caught a mugger," Iris asks, rolling her eyes as she watches him be a cocky #######.
"Eddie Thawne," I answer "New guy,"
"Transfer from Keystone City," Barry adds, taking his tissue away from his nose "Started a few weeks ago,"
"Oh, so that's Detective Pretty Boy," I give Iris a 'Wtf?' look "That's what my dad calls him. Says he actually keeps score when it comes to arrests,"
"Loser," I fake a cough, making Barry and Iris both smile at my comment "Though you have to admit, he is pretty," Barry doesn't comment.
I stir the sweetener in my green tea, watching as a heavy storm blew into Central City. It was nights like these that reminded me of when she came. That psychotic ##### from hell. No matter how many times I play that scenario in my head, I can never get over the fact that she was gold. It was as impossible as what caused Barry's mother to die.
Shaking off the thought and sipping my drink through a straw, I slowly begin to walk back to the lab. Rain hit the window, trickling down as I saw from far away, the S.T.A.R. Labs particle accelerator. Running as smoothly as it should.
That is when the unthinkable starts. A storm cloud suddenly formed around the top of S.T.A.R. Labs and I feel my stomach start to churn. This was bad. Way bad.
The world begins to move in slow motion as I see the accelerator explode from S.T.A.R. Labs and something like a ripple of energy shoots into the air. My eyes begin to widen as I see one of the beams head straight towards me.
The tea slips from my hands and I let out half a scream before I am hit. The energy heads straight for my chest. It looks as if it is going straight into my necklace and then into me. It hurts.
I'm thrown aback and as the energy seems to disappear, so does my strength. I hear echos of screams as my vision begins to be blurry.
And then...nothing. Pure and completely darkness.
