When I appear back in S.T.A.R. Labs, my aim was a little off and I appear in the hallway outside the Cortex. Hopefully the aim on my timing had been better, I think to myself, as I walk down the hallway and stand in the entrance to the Cortex. The backs of Cisco, Caitlin, Iris, and Joe's heads greet me; none of them had heard me walk up though, despite the heels I was wearing. As I'm getting ready to say something, I hear the unmistakable sound of sobbing…of Barry sobbing. He must have thought I died…he thinks I'm dead. That would be the logical thought. Taking a step forward, the now-familiar tingling washes over me as I step through the unseen trans-dimensional energy and step out in front of Barry, who was kneeling down on the ground, crying in front of a pile of ash. They had told me the pile would be there. So as the group behind Barry start gasping at seeing me, I reach down, place a hand over the pile of ash and send it to the Existence. Once it's gone, Barry finally looks up, his eyes rimmed bright red from tears and wide tear tracks under his eyes. "E-Elizabeth?"

I smile at him as I stand up. "Hey Barry…"

Barry stands up, taking a step backwards. The shock and confusion are heavy on his face, looking from where the pile of ash had been to where I stood now. "What…what hap- you look- we saw-" He points from where the pile had been to where I was standing now.

"I know," I say, one of my hands coming up and scratching the back of my neck. "I have a lot of explaining to do."

"Are you-" Cisco raises a hand, pointing at me. "Are you an angel?"

I can't help but let out a small laugh. "I'm sure I resemble one…don't I?" I briefly look down at myself. My outfit was slightly over the top: a light blue, almost white, dress with a bateau neckline that was cinched in at the waist before flaring out into a ballgown skirt; on the back of the dress, layers of organza flowed down, creating a cape-type draping; the main draw though was the tiara sitting on top of my head: a creation of diamonds and rubies lining the whole thing with one large ruby in the center of it. I had tried in vain to take it off before I left the Existence…but it was deemed dishonorable to do so. The grand send-off they had given me called for formal wear.

"What-" Iris tries to speak up this time. One of her hands come up, pointing at me briefly before falling to her side again. She wore the same confused look everyone was wearing. "What happened to you? Just a few seconds ago we watched you…blow up or something…and now you're standing in front of us looking like Kate Middleton? I don't-"

She stops when Barry suddenly walks up to me, standing an inch away from me. A pained look shoots across his face for a brief moment. Slowly, one of his hands come up and lightly touches my cheek, as if to see if I was really there. "I'm here, Barry," I whisper. I bring my own hand up, lightly touching the back of his. "I'm back…I'm not going anywhere."

"Okay, I really need an explanation of what is going on…" Joe says. Barry takes a step back, shaking his head as if to dispel some thought. We both walk over to the rest of the group, Barry moving to stand behind the console with them as I stand on the other side still.

"Yes, you do…you all do. I have to warn you…it's a long story…" I let out a sigh and begin my story. "It would probably be easiest to begin with the biggest discovery…I am not from here, from Earth…I'm from a place called the Existence-"

"What, so are you saying you're not from Earth?" Cisco says. "Like your-"

"Not an alien," I cut him off. I could see the excitement growing in his eyes the moment I said not from Earth. "I thought that too…it is much more complicated than that. And please…try not to interrupt. I will explain everything in due course." Everyone nods their heads, telling me they won't interrupt. "Anyway, as Cisco said, I'm not from Earth. Yet, the Existence is not another planet. It's a little hard to explain…think of a pie, okay? The pie is the multiverse, the slices of the pie represent a different universe. The Existence is at the center of that pie, it is the pie tin holding the pie together. It's not actually part of the pie…but yet the pie doesn't exist without it…follow me?" Everyone nods their heads weakly…kind of understanding. "That is where I'm from…the Existence. I was taken from it when I was a baby and dropped here, on this Earth."

"So that's why there was never any birth record for you at any hospital?" Iris says. I briefly recall Iris digging into my past, trying to uncover some clue as to why Barry's timeline changes were affecting me.

"Exactly," I nod my head. "Because I wasn't born here-"

"But I've ran a hundred different tests on you and they've all always came back as normal," Caitlin says. Her hand waves towards the med-bay where I had undergone said tests. "As human…"

"I know," I nod my head. "That is because—okay, you know the people from Earth-2 vibrate at a different frequency than us? The Existence is kind of the same. Since it exists out of…well, existence…we don't technically exist. I know…it's confusing-"

"It's not possible," Cisco says. "If you technically don't exist…how are you standing here? How have you lived here your whole life?"

"All questions I asked as well," I tell him. I let out a sigh, trying to figure out the best way to explain it. "When someone from the Existence goes to a universe, whatever planet they go to, their bodies assimilate to the beings around them. So, when I came to Earth, my body mimics that of a human. If I were to go to Mars, my DNA would match a Martian and so on and so forth…"

"So what was the whole red light and pile of dust all about?" Joe asks. He still had a bewildered look on his versus the more understanding looks everyone was starting to give me now.

"That, yes," I say. "Even though our bodies assimilate to that of the beings around us, we aren't made to stay like that for long periods of time. We have to go back to the Existence basically to recharge. The timelines changing put a lot of stress on my body but basically my body and mind were warring with each other. My body had been human for so long, it couldn't register my mind telling it that I needed to go back to the Existence to recharge. So, this last time, after Barry tried to fix Flashpoint, it was like a tipping point and I just…poof. It was my body's way of forcing me to go back to the Existence."

"So when you…poofed…did you go to this…Existence, or…?" Barry asks.

"No," I shake my head. "I accidently transported to another Earth, since you know, I had never transported to a different Earth before. I actually ended up on Kara Zor-El's Earth."

Barry's eyes widen a fraction. "You met Kara?"

"Yeah," I nod my head. "I did. She was the one who actually recognized that I was from the Existence…"

"Okay, explain that again…only slower," I say, shaking my head, trying to wrap my mind around what Kara had just said.

"You are from a place called the Existence," she says. "They are basically like police for all the universes. They only ever appear when there is a major, huge threat to more than one universe."

"And how do you know that I'm from this…Existence place?" I raise an eyebrow at her.

"When you've been to the Existence but aren't from there, like I did when I was a young girl, you can just tell who is from the Existence and who isn't." Kara says. "You all have this…aura about you. Plus, everyone I've ever met from the Existence always smells faintly of vanilla and…" she leans forwards, take a big whiff of me. "Yep, you smell like vanilla. And I bet you don't even use vanilla body wash…"

"I told you I thought she always smelled like homemade cookies," Cisco says to Caitlin. Caitlin rolls her eyes, silently telling Cisco that now was not the time to have that debate.

"Yeah, but it turned out to be true," I say with a small chuckle. "The whole of the Existence smells like one giant sugar cookie; it's the strangest thing…"

"So you went to another Earth…and the Existence?" Iris says. "But you were gone for literally ten seconds? Did you time travel?"

"A little bit," I hold my forefinger and thumb up, indicating a small amount. "That is one thing I cannot do is time travel. Time on the Existence doesn't really…exist. Technically, I was on the Existence for a year. Though, I was on Kara's Earth for a few hours. When I came back here, the elders of the Existence wielded a little power to help me come back here to as close as possible to when I left."

"You were there for a year?" Barry says. "What did you do there for a year?"

A large smile starts to grow on my face. "Well…"

"It was a little difficult but we were able to make contact with someone from the Existence," Winn says as him and Alex come back into the med-bay area.

"They are sending a representative as quickly as possible," Alex says, looking at me and then at Kara.

"Yeah…when we told them we had you they like…freaked out…" Winn says. A mischievous grin comes to his face, most likely thinking of the possibilities of the impending visitors reactions to hearing about me. "You must be someone uber important to them."

"I don't know how I could be," I say with a shrug. "I didn't even know the place existed until an hour ago."

Before anyone can say anything else a group of people appear outside the med-bay doors, literally appear out of thin air. Two of them looked like soldiers or guards and the other two, a man and a woman, were dressed in fine clothing and wearing what looked like delicate circlet crowns. They were both tall and lean with thick dark hair much like mine. "We are the First Family from the Existence." The man says. His voice, deep and resonating, sends a shiver down my spine; strangely enough though…it was familiar. "We've come to see the girl that was found here that you claim is from the Existence."

Alex steps up in front of them. "I'm Alex Danvers," she says. "I'm the one who called you."

"Thank you for your call, Alex Danvers," the woman says. Her voice was delicate and also seemed familiar. I slide off the hospital bed, my feet seeming to move of their own accord. "As we stated, we would very much like to see the girl…"

Alex stares at them for a moment before dropping her hands to her sides. Kara pats me on the shoulder, giving me reassurance she was right next to me. Alex steps to the side, motioning with her hand towards me. When the man and woman see me, they let out an audible gasp. I jump slightly at the sound of it. "Hi," I say timidly as they walk towards me. When they stop in front of me, I can see both of them are holding back tears. "I'm Elizabeth…apparently, I'm from wherever you are from?"

The woman presses her lips into a hard line before she reaches up, lightly touching the side of my face. "Not just that, my sweet, sweet girl…" Some deep emotion was stirring in me from her touch. Like something I had been searching for my whole life had just appeared in front of me in the shape of these two strangers. At the woman's next words, that feeling is solidified and it's like the last piece of me clicks into place. "You're our daughter…"

Everyone stares at me, stunned looks on their faces once again. Barry is the first to speak up. "So you found…"

"My parents," I say, a wide smile growing on my face. "My family…I found my family. And of course, there, my name isn't Elizabeth…"

"What is it?" Caitlin asks.

"My name is Oclene," I tell them. "Oclene, First Daughter of the Existence, Keeper of the Armies, Watcher of Earths."

"Woah, woah, woah," Cisco says, waving his hands in front of himself. "Did you just say 'keeper of armies'? And 'watcher of Earths'? So you're like-"

"My family, in the Existence, is what is known as the First Family," I say, nodding my head. "They rule over the Existence-"

"So your family is rulers of the multi-verse?" Cisco says. He looked a little too happy about the idea.

"Yeah, basically…I guess…" I say. I hadn't really thought of it that way. "Anyway, my mother and father, they are the ones who came and brought me from Kara's Earth to the Existence; Ruraura and Fadur. They hadn't seen me since I was eight months old so when they heard a girl who thought she was human but was really from the Existence was found on Earth…they came running."

"So, I still don't get why you stayed there for a year…in their time anyway," Iris says.

I nod my head once. "Yes…that…"

The Existence was…describing its beauty was impossible. Ruraura and Fadur kept having to nudge me along to keep up with them as we walked down the street. Up ahead, a huge castle rose into the sky, seeming to disappear into the clouds. "Woah," I say, looking at it. "Is that your-"

"And yours," Ruraura answers. "That is where the First Family resides."

"Oh," I say, starting to look around at the surroundings again. I felt very out of place. I was still wearing the scrubs Caitlin had changed me into in the med-bay at S.T.A.R. Labs from…however long ago that was. People were starting to appear in streets, whispering and pointing at me. Soon, the whispering and pointing turned into cheers, shouts of joy. By the time we reached the castle, it was like an impromptu parade.

Before we go inside, Fadur stops our group, turning back to face the crowd that had gathered. "Dear Citizens of the Existence!" His booming voice rings out, seeming to reach as far as the eye could see. "Today is a joyous day! The stolen First Daughter has finally returned home!"

More cheers erupt from the crowd as I feel Ruraura wrap an arm around my shoulders. "Please," she calls out, silencing the crowd once again. "Allow our family a couple days privacy, to get to know the First Daughter once again. Rest assured, celebrations and feasts will follow for weeks to come." My head turns sharply to look at her. Weeks? What did she mean weeks? The three of us, plus the two guards turn once again and walk in through the massive doors behind us. Once they shut, the sound of cheering once again rings out. Inside, a whole line of people are waiting inside the main foray…lined up to see me. "Oclene…" Ruraura says gently. "There is someone that would like to meet you…" I nod my head, standing between her and Fadur as one of the people from the line walk towards us. Ruraura holds a hand out towards the first person, a man who looked about my age. I tried to hold back a gasp when I look at him…he looked like me. He was a few inches taller than me, his build resembling Fadur and Ruraura…but he could have been my twin. "This is your brother, Oion."

"It is a pleasure to finally see you, sister," Oion holds out a hand to me. I timidly place mine in his before he kneels down in a bow, pressing the back of my hand to his forehead. When he stands back up, he releases my hand and takes in my confounded stare. "I'm sorry…" he looks to Ruraura and Fadur and then back to me, also looking confused. "Was that…should I have not done-"

"It's quite alright, Oion," Ruraura says, smiling kindly at her son. "Earth has different customs than here. In time, we shall each acclimate to each other's habits."

"Yeah, it's okay," I say, looking around the large foyer. It was grander and more elaborately decorated than any castle I had ever visited on Earth; it put Buckingham Palace to shame even though it was decorated in a more futuristic style. "This is just…a lot to take in…"

Fadur places a hand in between my shoulder blades, patting me gently. "As Ruraura said…in time, we shall grow to learn more about each other."

"About that…" I step away from them, moving to stand in front of them. Oion takes my spot and each of them stare at me expectantly. "Earlier you said in the coming 'weeks' there would be celebrations about me returning…exactly how long am I staying here?"

"Well, we thought you would stay here indefinitely…" Ruraura says, looking from me to Fadur. When she looks back at me, she looks less certain. "You are after all the heir. And the heir must remain in residence in the Existence-"

"Woah, what?" I say, balking at them. "I'm the what? I can't be anything…I have friends, family really. I have Caitlin and Cisco and Barry…I can't just abandon them!"

"This is our tradition," Fadur says, taking a step closer to me. One of his hands come up to rest on my shoulder. "The eldest child of the First Family becomes Regnant of the Existence. And the Regnant must remain in residence in the Existence…"

A/N: Hello! Welcome to the sequel in this crazy story! So, this one is going to be more AU. Meaning, it may or may not follow the story line of season 3.
