"Excuse me?" Alexia said as she made her way into the forensic lab at the Central City Police Department. She was extremely nervous confronting Barry Allen, but she knew it was the only way she could save her brother.
For the past few days after meeting Joe West, Alex researched everything she could on Iris West. In her findings, she discovered Iris was recently engaged to Barry Allen, therefore creating Alex's next point of interest. There wasn't much she could find surrounding him except for a few articles surrounding his parents, so she decided it was time to go down to the station to meet him.
"Are you Barry Allen?" she asked, although she already knew the answer. Slowly, she made her way over to his desk. He looked up to reveal dark circles underneath his eyes and an apathetic stare.
"How can I help you?" he asked without showing any sign of interest in the girl standing in front of him. If Alex didn't know any better, she would assume Iris was already dead. Despite the empty stare, Alex put on her best smile.
"My name is Alexia Barnes," she introduced herself as she stuck out her hand. Normally, she wouldn't stoop so low as to intentionally invade someone's privacy, but this was different. Before she could further explain the reason for her visit, Barry grabbed her hand.
The Flash raced towards Iris as fast as he could, but he still didn't make it. Savitar laughed in the background as Flash held his dying fiancé in his arms. Screams filled the air as Alex suddenly felt the urge to cover her ears. The scene changed to a different area as she watched the Flash corner Savitar. "I know who you are," the Flash said furiously. Slowly, Savitar kneeled as his armor began to dismantle.
Alex quickly pulled her hand away as she stared at Barry in disbelief. Unintentionally, she had discovered the identity of The Flash but had pulled away from Barry too quickly to see who was behind the mask of Savitar.
"Uh, are you alright?" Barry asked as he examined Alex's worried face. Those words were enough to snap Alex back into reality.
"Oh, ha, yes. Sorry," she answered a bit bashfully. "I, uh," Alex began, but all her plans before entering the building were now lost thanks to her newly found discovery. "This is going to sound...really weird," she paused trying to find any sort of reasonable explanation for her presence in his laboratory. She then reached up to nervously rub the back of her neck, hoping to buy her any amount of time to come up with an excuse. Accepting defeat, Alex took a deep breath before confessing. "I know you're The Flash," she said quickly.
