So apparently the working title for this is Not Gonna Die, probably because of the song by Skillet. I started this at the beginning of the school year and I'm finally getting to typing it all up apparently. Smh. This does take place between Rouge Air and Fast Enough, and then through Fast Enough and beyond. I haven't seen season 2 yet because our pissy DVR refused to record The Man Who Saved Central City. I was so mad I threw the remote, which I don't usually do.
Running. She ran until she couldn't run anymore. She didn't know where the was. Her destination was Avengers Tower in New York. After all, her dad, Donald Davenport, knew Tony. The last thing she saw before she blacked out was a sign: Welcome To Central City.
Barry had come back to Star Labs after investing a completely normal, non-metahuman involved crime scene. "Hey Barry, I picked something up on a traffic cam. There is a girl in front of the Central City sign. She has super speed, and she was going through here when she collapsed." Cisco explained to Barry. "On it!" Barry exclaimed, changing into the Flash suit quickly. After he did so, Barry ran as fast as he could to the Central City sign. Cisco was right. There was a girl in front of the Central City sign. He carefully checked her for injuries before he gently picked her up, cradling her in his arms. She was slender, with medium brunette hair chin-length bob with burnt ends. She had nimble fingers, probably a piano player, and pale skin with freckles across her nose and on her cheeks. Barry couldn't see her eyes, but he bet that they were beautiful. She was small, but Barry figured that she could hold her own. He made sure she rested comfortably in his arms before speeding back to Star Labs.
Once at Star Labs, Barry set her on a hospital bed. "I got her." Barry told Cisco. Cisco nodded, starting to run tests. He got an iv and oxygen going before he drew blood. When she started wheezing, Cisco got some asthma medication going for her and upped her concentration of oxygen. She wheezed a little less but still had breathing problems. Barry watched her, not wanting to leave her side. There was just something about her. He watched her chest rise and fall while Cisco ran his tests. Once Cisco was done, he went back to Barry.
"Look at this." Cisco prompted Barry. "I'm listening." Barry said. Cisco was holding a stack of papers. "She is bionic, not a metahuman." He told Barry, intrigued. You had to be living under a rock to miss the reveal of Donald and Douglas Davenport's Bionic superhumans. They came before the particle accelerator after all. "I was able to hack into Donald's files and find her medical history. I'm surprised he doesn't have better security. She has scars on her lungs from old puncture wounds by severely broken ribs and she had heart damage consistent with anorexia without a history of anorexia written. She also has asthma. She had to get her legs amputated three days ago, and she ended up here when she should be resting and recuperating." Cisco finished. "Woah." Barry marveled, looking the mystery girl over. She was beautiful, even flawless despite her visible scars. He couldn't count how many there were, but he didn't care.
Barry saw her twitch so he watched, waiting for anything to happen. She opened her eyes slowly, panting. A low growl came from her throat as her pale green eyes widened in fear. Before he could blink, which is saying something because he had super speed, her hands were around his throat. "Hey!" Barry gasped, struggling to breathe. The girl let go of him, panting again as she relaxed. Barry tried to catch his breath. Cisco walked back in after doing something in another room. "What happened?"
"She tried to choke me." Barry said calmly. Cisco snickered before composing himself. "What did you do?" He smirked. "Nothing!" Barry exclaimed. "Nothing?" Cisco was a cheshire cat. "She just got scared." Barry rubbed his throat. Cisco got out at inhaler and tossed it to the girl, now afraid of getting choked himself. She caught it before having a coughing fit. She used the inhaler gracefully, breathing deeply. Barry looked at her. "My name is Barry Allen." She looked up at him. "Breana Dav-enport." Barry noticed her stutter.
"So can I go now?" Breana asked the pair of men standing before her. Hmmm.. sassy. Barry shook his head of that though and others. "We aren't keeping you hear." He told her. She started getting off the hospital bed, getting ready to leave. She immediately fell. She grumbled to herself. "Here." Barry held out his hand. Breana grabbed it, letting him pull her up. "You need to rest." He said firmly. Breana scoffed. "I'm fine. I've had worse and I am fine." She insisted. Barry had to bring out the big guns. He made his best puppy dog face. Breana looked away. "The puppy dog face, really?" She questioned his methods. Barry blushed lightly. "It's the last resort, and it works." He made the puppy dog face again. Breana sighed. "Fine." Barry smiled.
Barry thought for a moment. According to Cisco she was a speedster too, they knew she was bionic but now what powers she had- and something big is coming. He could feel it. "Can I trust you?" He asked her. Breana snorted. "I'm bionic." Barry smiled, taking a deep breath. "I'm the Flash." Breana looked at him. "Does that mean that you have super speed like me?" Barry nodded. "Yeah." Breana smiled a little. "Maybe we can race sometime." She suggested. Barry smiled. "Would you kick my ass?" Breana smirked widely. "I so would." Barry laughed as Breana blushed. He looked at her. "You're beautiful." He didn't know why he said that out loud, but he didn't care. Breana blushed more, looking at the floor.
"Are you ok?" Barry asked gently. "I'm fine," Breana told him. Barry groaned when his phone rang, and he answered it. Breana looked at him. "Work." He said after he hung up. Breana nodded. "What do you do besides this?" She asked him. "Forensic Scientist." Barry answered. Breana nodded. "Cool." Barry smiled and nodded. "Yeah. I'll be back later." Breana yawned. "Alright." Barry left, using his Super Speed.
Caitlin came in after talking to Cisco. "Hi, my name is Caitlin Snow." Breana nodded, holding out her hand. "Breana Davenport." Caitlin shook her hand. "Davenport as in Donald Davenport?" She asked. Breana blushed, nodding her head. "Yeah." Caitlin smiled at her. Breana smiled back. "Have you met Cisco?" Caitlin changed the subject. Breana nodded. "I think I have." Caitlin shrugged. "You probably have." She chuckled. Breana giggled. "He got me an inhaler and then left me alone with Barry." Caitlin snorted. "That's Cisco for you." Breana laughed. "He's done that before?" Caitlin smiled. "When he met Ronnie, he insisted on taking my car to pick up our pizza since he didn't have a car." She laughed at the memory. "Now Ronnie and I are engaged."
Breana smiled, then sighed. The corners of Caitlin's mouth turned down. "Why don't you take a nap? You look tired." She suggested. Breana nodded. "Ok." She yawned after, trying to get comfortable. Caitlin fluffed her pillow, smiling at her reassuringly. She went to help Cisco, still in the sight range to keep an eye on Breana. She didn't know what it was about her. "I don't get it. She's bionic but she came here." Cisco said. "Maybe she just needed a change of scenery." Caitlin suggested. Cisco shrugged. "I was able to hack into her medical file and she just got her legs amputated two days ago. She should still be recovering." he told Caitlin.
Caitlin put on her thinking cap. "Maybe she was intending to go somewhere else but ended up here," she told Cisco. "Who knows for sure?" Cisco remarked. "We shouldn't push it." Caitlin said firmly." "She obviously ended up here while trying to run away somewhere else for a reason," Cisco smiled. "Plus, I've always wanted to meet a bionic." Caitlin rolled her eyes. "Of course you have."
A/N: So there is that. I have to rewatch Fast enough, but the first two, maybe three chapters will take place after Rouge Air and before Fast Enough because of timeline shit and reasonable amount of time between episodes. Like at least with Lab Rats and Mighty Med and now the new show that will premiere next year and combine them both, Lab Rats: Elite Force, the episodes should be shown in order of the production codes. And yes, that is a nitpick.
Anyways I love y'all, have a good night/day whatever depending on what timezone you're in.
XOXO, Breana.
