The streets of Starling City were dark and haunting anyone who dared to stay in the alleyways. A figure ran through the streets, disorientated and looking behind them as they tried to keep moving further forward. They came to a standstill as Oliver Queen, as Green Arrow, stood in front of them. John Diggle, wearing his mask, stopped behind them.
'Going somewhere?' Oliver asked.
The figure took their hood down of their jacket and showed they were a girl in her late teens to early twenties.
'We're going to need you to come with us.' Oliver was in control.
The girl nodded, not wanting to argue. Oliver walked over to her and looked right at her.
'Not saying anything?' Oliver was a little worried.
The girl shook her head, not ready to spill what she knew. Oliver and Diggle led her to the van and got her in the back. Diggle got behind the wheel and Oliver sat in the back of the van with the girl. No one spoke on the way back to base.
Oliver led the girl into the base and led her through to a cell.
'We'll keep you here just until we know a bit more about you, alright?' Oliver explained.
The girl nodded and sat in the cell, behaving more than Oliver expected. Oliver walked back to the main room.
'Who is she?' Felicity Smoak asked.
'No idea. She's not spoken a word since we found her.' Oliver shrugged.
'Do you want me to try and talk to her?' Laurel Lance asked, walking into the room.
'Go ahead. See if you can get anything out of her.' Oliver agreed.
Laurel walked out the room and towards the cells. The girl looked up and saw Laurel watching her.
'Are you alright?' Laurel asked.
The girl nodded.
'Can you tell me your name? You're not in any trouble.'
'Becca.' The girl, Becca, finally spoke.
'I'm Laurel. Nice to meet you, Becca. How come you were running?'
'Because I'm dangerous. Sometimes I can't control it. If I hadn't controlled it, I would have killed your friends by accident.'
'How?'
'I got hit when the capacitor went off in Central City. Ever since I've been struggling with this thing I don't really know how to describe.'
'Can you show me?'
'I'd suggest you stand back. You might get hurt.'
Laurel stood back and Becca sped to the cell entrance, electricity sparking around her. Becca stepped back and struggled to stop the electricity. The lights started flickering.
'Becca, it's alright. Take deep breaths. You're fine.' Laurel tried to be nice.
Becca finally got control and turned her electricity power off.
'I'm sorry. I'm still trying to get around it without hurting anyone.' Becca was shaking.
'We know some people who work at Star Labs who can help us. We'll get them to come see you and help you.'
'I don't want to inconvenience you.'
'You won't be. We want to help you.'
'This may seem like a really weird question, but do you know a Barry Allen?'
'Yeah. How do you know him?'
'I've been having visions of a guy called Barry Allen. I know he's The Flash and he's in danger.'
'I'll pass that on. I'll be right back, alright?'
Becca nodded and stepped to the very back of her cell, letting Laurel walk away quickly. Laurel got back to the others and they looked worried.
'Did you hear what Becca said?' Laurel checked.
'Every word. What did you see? The camera didn't show what ability Becca has.'
'She moves fast and sparks electricity. It's like Barry, but she's struggling to control the powers.' Laurel explained.
'Shall I call Barry?' Felicity offered.
'I would. If anyone can help her control those powers, it's him.' Diggle suggested.
Felicity picked up her phone and dialled.
'Barry, we need you to bring the team to Starling. We need your help. We've got a meta-human speedster.' Felicity explained.
A whoosh of wind entered the room and Barry Allen appeared with Dr Caitlin Snow and Cisco Ramon, both of them in shock of their entrance.
'Hey guys.' Felicity greeted them.
'Hey.' Caitlin smiled a little.
'You've got a meta-human?' Barry asked.
'She's in one of the cells. There's another thing. Becca, our meta-human, she sees things and thinks Barry is in danger.' Laurel explained.
'We'd better go talk to her.' Caitlin knew.
'You will need to be careful. Becca said she struggles sometimes controlling her powers.' Laurel pointed out.
'What powers?' Cisco asked.
'Speed and she sees the future.' Laurel said.
'Speed?' Barry was confused.
'She's like you, Barry, but when we found her, she didn't resist capture. We'll need to be careful with her.' Oliver explained.
Barry led Caitlin to the cell that Becca sat in. Becca saw them and was hesitant at first.
'Becca, it's alright. My name's Barry. This is Caitlin. We're here to help you.' Barry tried to help her.
'The Flash?' Becca checked.
'How do you know that?' Barry was shocked.
Becca pulled up her sleeve and a lightning bolt was scorched into her arm.
'I got this from the particle accelerator and I've been getting faster. Then now and again I get flashes of people with powers and either they come across The Flash, or I see their fall. I don't get a choice on what I see and if I try to do anything to stop it, the repercussions knock me back out the way. I can't do anything about it.' Becca was nervous.
'Becca, Laurel said you struggle with your powers?' Caitlin checked.
'I can't retain the lightning for long, but when I do it can sometimes make power cuts.' Becca shrugged.
'We can help you with that, alright? You don't have to worry about it. We'll help you as much as we can.' Caitlin tried to be nice.
'Promise me something.' Becca walked to them.
'What is it?' Barry asked.
'Promise me you won't let me go dark side. I saw what it did to the Reverse Flash and I can't go that way.' Becca hoped.
'I promise. We'll help you get control of your powers.' Barry promised.
'Then we'd better stop your fate, Barry Allen, before you find your end quicker than you think.' Becca knew the risks.
'How do you know that?' Caitlin was curious.
'Because Barry Allen is my ancestor.'
