Thank you for everything! Outfit is on my profile! And for some of you who may be confused and be like, why is she blonde is she's Spanish? We'll, genetic mixture of being Caucasian and Spanish doesn't mean you have to have dark hair. Just as my grandma.
"-my shit's not in order. I'm overweight, I'm always late, I've got too many things to say," The song Secrets, by Mary Lambert, fills my ears. Wait, why only my ears? My body, my eyes, why am I not moving?!
"Seriously? Secrets?" Who said that?
"She likes this song," Another voice came in and I began to freak out in my black void of nothing.
"How do you know that?" That's a female, I know that for certain.
"I checked his Facebook," I don't have a Facebook. How can he know that?
Suddenly, I feel a rush of energy surge through me and my green eyes snap open. It's bright and it hurts, but I'm able to sit up as soon as my eyes open. I am in what looks like a hospital room with two others, female and male, both about my age. "Where am I?"
"She's up!" The woman rushes over to me and begins to examine me, placing all sorts of things on me. I try to push her away, but she continues to push. As I begin to unhook myself from the many machines they have me on, I am flooded with questions "Who are you? Where am I?"
The guy comes over to me and places a hand on my shoulder, trying to keep me calm "Hey, hey, calm down. Everything's okay, you're at S.T.A.R. Labs,"
"The geek palace?" I say as I blink many times, trying to push my drowsiness away. I feel different now. Physically and slightly mentally. Heavier...did I gain weight? "Who are you?"
The long haired man disregards my side comment and answers "I'm Cisco Ramon, she's Caitlin, Dr. Snow,"
The woman, now ID as Dr. Caitlin Snow, holds up a cup to me "I need you to urinate in this and then I need a blood draw, and an X-ray, and-"
The man, Cisco Ramon, pulls it away from her "Not right this second,"
My temper takes over and I push both of them away "Get off of me and tell me what the heck I am doing here?!" As I walk away from them, I see a camera that sees me. I wore a simple sports bra and workout shorts, due to this, I could see my body and its...changes. My stomach was leaner, more muscular. Before I was a bit...plump, less athletic looking, but now I look like some sort of boxer. Each part of my body was toned.
"You were struck by lightning, like the Allen guy," Ramone says.
I turn back to them "Lightning turned me into an athlete?"
The two share a look, before Caitlin answers "There's going to be a lot of thing we need to tell you,"
Cisco tries to sit me back down, only to get shoved off by me. I don't like it when people get all touchy with me, especially when they just met me. Personal space, please! "You were in a coma,"
My eyes begin to widen "What? For how long?"
"Six weeks," I turn to see...Harrison Wells. Barry's man crush. "Welcome back, Ms. Cazares,"
Caitlin gives me a sweatshirt to wear over my sports bra, making me feel more comfortable as Harrison Wells and I walked through S.T.A.R. Labs.
"So, this is the geek HQ? Barry's little dream house," I say as we walk.
Wells smiles slightly "The 'geek palace' as you call it, has not been operational since FEMA categorized us as a class four, hazardous location," As we walk, I see that some parts are damaged "Seventeen people died that night, many more were injured, myself amongst them," We approach what once was the particle accelerator, now damaged and broken.
I metallic tastes fills my mouth "What happened?"
"Six weeks ago the particle accelerator went online for exactly forty-five minutes. Everything was running smoothly, my life's dream had been accomplished," Wells sighs lightly "Then, then there was an anomaly. The electron volts became unmeasurable, the ring under us popped, energy from the detonation was thrown into sky, and that in turn, created a storm cloud that-"
"Created an energy that hit me," I finish "And yes, I do know what you're saying,"
Wells nods "I'm glad you're able to keep up," He continues "...I was recovering myself when I heard about you and Mr. Allen-"
"Barry's here?!" I say, cutting him off.
"You can see him shortly, continuing on. I had been recovering when I heard about you two," I listen intently "By coincidence, you two were in room next to eachother. Whenever Mr. Allen went into cardiac arrest, the hospital had unexplainable power outages. However, it was a misdiagnoses. His heart wasn't stopping, Anastasia, it was beating too fast for the EKG to register it,"
I knew my eyes were wide and jaw was dropped. "An-and what about me?"
Wells sucks in a breath before starting "As for you, Ms. Cazares, well...It was your bones. The doctors believed that your bones were breaking down, something was eating them. The lightning that had struck you had altered your pH levels, but that was wrong as well. You see, your bones weren't disintegrating or being eaten, they were breaking down to rebuild,"
"...You've lost me," I say directly as we reentered the hospital room.
Wells nods at Caitlin and Cisco, who both grab me and pull me over to a table. Cisco suddenly pulls out a hammer and Caitlin pins down my arm.
"What are you doing?!" I exclaim as Cisco swings down. I squeeze my eyes tight and brace for pain, but...nothing. I feel nothing. Just a sharp pain in my hand, but no crack. "What the…?" I look at my hand and notice it was only swollen "How-"
"You have had a gentical alteration from that energy, Anastasia," Wells tells me "You are superhuman,"
This is too overwhelming. My head begins to feel light and everything soon becomes dark.
My eyes opens once again to the same room. "That isn't exactly how I wanted things to go," I sit up and see Wells, Cisco, and Caitlin having coffee and cronuts.
"Cronut?" Cisco asks, holding on out to me.
I nod and move out of the bed, walking over and taking the cronut from Cisco "Thanks. How long was I out?"
"Just fifteen minutes, enough time for me to get us food," Cisco answers.
Harrison looks over at me "I know that this is a lot to process, but I can explain it more if you would like, well, as much as we can explain,"
"Mhm," I nod with a mouthful of delicious, overwhelming delectable, amazing cronut.
Harrison Wells put down his coffee and pulls out a laptop from the bag on his wheelchair. Opening it, he pulls up a blueprint of the particle accelerator. "We believe that the storm cloud and energy that struck was filled with dark matter and other particles that had the potential to change and alter the genetic structure, or even atomic structure of some,"
I furrow my brow "So, the energy that struck me changed has altered my DNA and genetic coding so that I may have hard bones?"
"Diamond,"
Wiping my head around, I raise a brow at Caitlin "What?"
"We believe your bones changed into diamond. That's what we believe," Caitlin says, sipping her coffee. "From what we've tried and know,your bones are indestructible,"
I rub my head, a migraine sits in as I process everything "So, I'm a diamond?"
"Correction!" Cisco cuts in "Just your bones. As far as we can tell, you can still bleed, but your bones won't be broken,"
"You were able to get all this information when I was in a coma?" I ask, wiping the crumbs of cronut off my face.
Wells nods "We don't have many things to do here, so studying you and Barry became our top priority,"
"That's wonderful," I mutter "It's been my dream to be studied,"
"We'd like to run further tests, if that is alright with you," Harrison tells me"You are still going through changes. Your body, your genetics are done transforming just yet,"
I furrow my brow "And you know this how…?"
Cisco takes an iPad out and pulls up a mini video of blood cells "These are your blood cells right now,"
"And you point?"
"Less sass, more watching," I push off his comment and continue to watch the video. I see the cells move around, all peaceful and shiz, until they suddenly begin to spike. It looks as if they are crystallizing.
My mouth hangs open slightly "What was that?"
"That," Cisco answers "Was your blood cells crystallizing. We got those same results in your skin and bones cells. Something big is happening in your body, and we need to be ready for it,"
I sit there, trying to process everything they've just told me. "You want to run more tests? To try and figure out what's happening?"
Harrison nods "If you'll allow us, we would like to study you. You are truly remarkable, Ana, both you and Barry,"
Biting into my lip, I ponder on what to do. This makes no sense in my mind. None, zero, zippo, zilch. I'm a freak right now, a freak with indestructible bones. I don't want this. I really don't. "If you run tests, do you think you can find a way to reverse this?"
"Yes, we do believe that," Harrison answers.
"...Let's do it,"
"I'm so happy you're okay!"
I smile and welcome the embrace "Me too, Iris. I missed you so much,"
"What was it like? Being in the coma," Iris asks, pulling away from me.
"Dark," We share a laugh at my answer.
Shortly after I gave the okay to Wells, he contacted Iris and Joe. Even though it felt like I had only seen them yesterday, I have to remember that it's been five weeks of being in a coma. It felt far longer for them then it was for me.
"Thank you, Wells," Joe says, shaking Harrison's hand "We've got our girl back, and all we need is our boy,"
I smile sadly, remembering that Barry was still in a coma "Well, thanks for everything, Wells. I'll be back for the check up tomorrow,"
"Check up?" Iris questions
"To make sure she doesn't have any post symptoms of being struck," Caitlin Snow answers "Never can't be too careful,"
Iris accepts the lie and wraps an arm around "C'mon, we're going wherever you want. Anything you want or need, is yours,"
I rub my neck "Actually, I just wanna go home and sleep. Be in my own bed, maybe call my aunt and uncle and tell them I'm okay,"
Iris nods "Okay, home it is,"
That was chapter two! Looks like Ana doesn't want her powers. I will be explaining some of Ana's family in the next chapter. I hope you enjoyed it! It may be harder for me to update for a while, my stupid computer broke and is being fixed. Follow, favorite, and comment!
