Chapter 1
I just wanted to go out and have fun for once. Zoom was back on Earth 2 and we all were safe, for the time being. It took everything in me to convince my dad to let me go out with Barry and the gang in the first place. Now I'm here: chained to a pipe, in the basement of a building that is on an earth I am unfamiliar with.
We had gone to Jitters just to get some coffee and to hang out. To reinstate their business, Jitters had brought back trivia night and it just so happened it was the same night. Barry had asked me if I wanted to be his partner, but Cisco complained that Barry was smart enough and that no one else would stand a chance with me on his team. So I partnered with Cisco and Caitlin partnered with Barry.
I smiled at the memory and realized my head was throbbing. Reaching up to touch the back of my head, I felt a knot and my hair was dampened down with blood. I groaned in pain, remembering what happened next.
I had gotten up to go to the bathroom. When I was about to make my way back to the group something hard hit me and I blacked out. I let my head slump backwards, this was just fantastic. Why did I always end up getting kidnapped? I almost wanted to laugh at my current situation.
"You're awake." Came a gruff voice through the darkness of what I assumed was a basement.
"What do you want from me?" I asked, not even the least bit scared. You spend a few months held captive by a monstrous speedster and nothing else really scares you anymore.
Slow steps came towards me until I finally could see the outline of a human form. "What do I want from you? That's simple; I want to see Harrison Wells torn apart. I want to bring his smug world crashing down around him."
That put some fear in me, why would someone on this Earth want to hurt my dad? "I think you're mistaken."
The man laughed cynically, "I'm not mistaken. Harrison Wells ruined my life and now I'm going to ruin his. Interesting how no one knew he had a daughter. He did a great job of hiding her and the fact that he faked his death."
"What are you talking about? My dad didn't fake his death." That's when it clicked, "Oh you think that my dad is-"
"Shut up! You aren't allowed to talk anymore. Your dad is a horrible person and now you must pay for the sins of your father."
I was currently staring at a board that was covered with a bunch of scrawled formulas. I groaned and took my glasses off, rubbing my eyes. I had to figure out a way that we could stop Jay without killing Barry in the process and nothing was working. I went back to the many sheets of research scattered around Cisco's workshop.
"Uh, Harry. We have a slight problem." Came the nervous voice of none other than Cisco Ramon.
I turned and quirked an eyebrow, "It always seems to be that way. What type of a metahuman is it now?"
Ramon but his lip and laughed nervously, "Well, it's not a new metahuman per say."
"Out with it, Ramon." I grouched and turned back to my research.
"We were out at Jitters and it was trivia night. Jesse and I were killing it. She's a genius, by the way. She left to go to the bathroom and she, uh, she never came back."
I spun around promptly, "She never came back? What do you mean, Ramon?"
The young engineer rubbed the back of his head, "After twenty minutes, Caitlin went to check on her and she was gone. It's like she just vanished. Her phone was shattered on the floor outside of the bathroom. Do you think, I mean, is it possible that she ran away again?"
"No." I stated, "Jesse would not have run away again." Not waiting around any longer, I hurried up to the cortex. I marched straight in there only to find Barry and Snow staring at the computer screens.
"Heeeeyy, Harry." Barry said nervously.
"Did someone get the surveillance footage of Jitters yet?" I asked.
"Uh, right! Yes, Cisco hacked in just before he went and got you. We've been combing through it all to see if there's anything unusual." He turned back to the computers and I followed suit.
"Ok, there's her going towards the bathroom's." I said, searching the screen for anything unusual, "Stop. Who's that?" I pointed towards a tall man near the hallway towards the bathrooms. He was suspiciously eyeing my daughter.
"Let me see if I can get a hit on his face." Dr. Snow said and pulled up the facial recognition software. Minutes seemed to pass by in hours as the computer searched for a match. Suddenly a loud ding was heard, "We got a match. His name is Jason Anderson, he's thirty-five and it looks like he moved to Central City just before the particle accelerator exploded. He has a wife and two daughters. He's got a few counts of robbery, but nothing as serious as kidnapping."
I scrutinized his face a little longer and watched as he followed Jesse towards the hallway; neither of them came back out. "He definitely has her."
"Then we've got to hurry." Barry said.
"So you're a metahuman?" I asked, searching for more information. It had been a few hours since I was kidnapped and surely my dad was in the process of locating me, wherever that may be.
"I said no talking." The man yelled from the work area. He had turned on a small light and I could make out some of his features. He had dark, evil green eyes and sandy blond hair.
"But if you're not a metahuman than what could you possibly want from me or Harrison Wells?" I questioned.
The man grumbled and turned around, "Yes, I am a metahuman. Now, will you shut up?!"
I rolled my eyes, "Fat chance that'll happen. What are your powers? Super strength? Probably not super speed, am I right?"
"I turn invisible. How do you think we got out of Jitters?" He narrowed his eyes at me.
"Oh." This was going to be interesting, "So why exactly do you want to ruin Harrison Wells's life? I mean if you're planning on killing me, I'd like to know."
"His particle accelerator did this to me. He ruined my life. When my wife found out what I could do she left me and took our kids!" The man's voice shook the walls of the damp basement.
"I see, you have kids. Do you have any daughters?" I was fishing for anything I could use to get him to let me go.
"Two."
"What did it feel like when your wife took them from you? It hurt, didn't it? You wouldn't want to do that to someone else would you? Take away their daughter." The questions rolled out of my mouth.
His look softened before hardening again, "Nice try, but you will pay for what your father did!"
"He's not my father!" I shouted, trying to make this crazy man believe something that was true. He thought my dad was earth one's Harrison Wells.
"I have watched you both for weeks now. He hardly leaves STAR Labs unless it's night, but I know you're his daughter. I can see it in the way he treats you." The man turned his back once again.
"Please, I can help you." I resorted to my last hope.
He stopped, "Oh yeah? How?"
"I think I can reverse the affect that the particle accelerator had on you. I just need some simple ingredients." I rattled off countless things, I knew I could make a reverse agent to the Velocity 9. One that would slow the man's system down and he would be paralyzed long enough for me to escape.
"Fine, but after it works you die." He disappeared into thin air and I leaned my head back against the wall.
A long sigh escaped my closed lips and I struggled to maintain consciousness. The hit to my head must have given me a concussion. I needed to stay awake. No, I had to stay awake.
I looked down at my shackled wrist. If only the second particle accelerator had given me powers. I could get out of this situation in no time. I just hoped that if this plan failed, my dad could find me in time.
It felt like hours had gone by since the man had left and I struggled to keep my eyes open. "You have to stay awake, Jesse." I mumbled to myself. I wouldn't give in to sleep, I couldn't.
All to soon the man was towering over me again. "Here." He laid the miscellaneous chemicals at my feet.
"You're going to have to let me out of these shackles. I can't work with these chemicals on the ground." I said hoping I sounded believable.
He gave me a questioning look, but unlocked them from my wrists. I looked at my arms and noticed the outlining of bruises and blood from pulling against the restraints. I stood up and brought the chemicals over to his workstation, quickly beginning a plan that I hoped would work.
I threw my marker down and slammed my hand against the desk.
"Hey, calm down, man. Anger isn't going to get Jesse back." Ramon said.
"There is nothing. We have no way of finding her. It's like she just vanished." My voice was harsh and filled with venom.
Cisco's head fell against the table, "I'm sorry. This is my fault. I encouraged the idea of going out, I didn't think we had anything to worry about."
I wanted to say something, but the only thing I could think of was too mushy and I was not going to get mushy with Ramon. "It's not your fault." I said and left it at that.
I looked back at all of the research and sighed. This was impossible. Suddenly a flash of red lightning flew through the room and Barry came to a halt.
"So you know how Jesse practically vanished into thin air? She did, I mean, he did. Jason Anderson can turn invisible and whatever he touches turns too. That's how he got Jesse out of Jitters without anyone seeing!" The young speedster rushed through his sentences.
"How do you know?" I raised an eyebrow at him.
He smiled, "Jitters had hidden security cameras in the hallway. Jason hit Jesse on the back of the head and completely vanished with her in his hands."
"Wait a minute, what if Jesse wasn't the target?" Cisco stood up from his desk.
I looked at him curiously and understood where he was taking this, "What if this earth's Harrison Wells is?"
"Yes, maybe Anderson thinks that Dr. Wells had a daughter he kept from the public. That could explain why someone from our earth would kidnap Jesse." Ramon shrugged.
"That's definitely a possibility." Barry nodded.
"Hey, guys. Could you all come back to the cortex? I need to show you something." Caitlin's voice sounded over the intercoms.
I dropped the papers back on the desk and made my way up to the cortex. By the time Cisco and I got there, Barry was already sitting in a chair.
"What is it, Snow?" I questioned.
She bit her lip, "I was going through security cameras all over central city and then I got an alert from the security system at Mercury Labs. Here, I'll show you."
Caitlin pulled up a video of a lab at Mercury Labs. A few seconds into the video Jason Anderson came out of thin air. He began grabbing chemicals, beakers, and anything else he could.
"What is he doing?" Ramon asked.
"He's getting chemicals to make a reverse Velocity 9." I stated. Everyone's heads turned towards me for an explanation, "I assume Jesse's convinced him that she can help him get rid of his powers. It's probably another Griffin Grey situation."
"But does she even know how to make Velocity 9 in the first place?" Cisco questioned.
A small laugh tumbled through my lips, "She's a genius, Ramon. Jesse knows how to make Velocity 9."
Barry but his lip and shook his head, "Ok, but making a reverse V9 would only slow someone- Oh! She's going to slow his system down until his atoms are completely paralyzed."
I nodded my head, "Snow, keep going through security cameras all over the city."
She nodded her head and turned back to the screen, searching through countless cameras at one time.
I got up and left the cortex, planning to get back to my board.
"Hey, Harry, wait up." Came the voice of the young mechanical engineer.
"What is it, Ramon?" I asked, not stopping in my walk.
Cisco finally caught up to me, "Aren't you worried that we won't get to her in time?"
I rolled my eyes, "Of course I am, but I made a promise to Jesse a while ago. I am going to get my daughter back."
"Hurry up!" The man shouted from over my shoulder and I jumped out of my skin.
"I'm going as fast as I can. The chemicals need a few minutes to settle into each other." I dropped a few drops of one of the chemicals into the solution I already had going. It was almost complete, it just needed a few more seconds. "Ok, it's ready." I poured the solution into a syringe and handed it to the man.
He eyed it suspiciously, "Maybe I should inject some into you. Just in case you tried to poison me."
"I didn't and if you did it could have the reverse affects on me." I was bluffing, if he injected that into my system I would die. "And besides, there isn't any to spare. If you don't use it all, it won't work."
He nodded and poked the needle into a vein. I watched as he let the reverse V9 into his bloodstream. I knew that the affects would be immediate. I didn't let my eyes turn away and I knew that he could feel his system slowing down. "What have you done? It was supposed to get rid of my powers not slow me down!" He shouted and came towards me. It hadn't hit his motor skills yet and I learned that quickly as he threw me against the wall.
I tried to shield my head from hitting the brick wall, but it was of little use. The last thing I saw before my world darkening was the man slumping to the floor. My plan had failed.
As I said, this was previously on my other Flash fics of one shots, but it sort of became its own story. I have chapters 1-4 completed so they will be up within the coming week. For my faithful readers of "Flash Happenings": don't worry! That one is still going! I have another one shot that I am working on for it, so keep your eyes open! For any new readers/followers: if you love Jesse and Harry as much as I do, you might want to check out my other stories! I have a stand alone one shot called "Conquering Nightmares" that I absolutely love and of course there is my "Flash Happenings" which is a compiling of one shots and mini stories! I hope you enjoy this one and any other stories you read of mine! I have enjoyed writing them! Feedback is always welcome and I love reviews! I even take suggestions of what should happen next! Thank you all for taking the time to read this! Keep your eyes open for more!
