(9 Months Later)

Sage's POV
I could hear music playing and two voices. "He likes this song," A guy defended.

"And how would you know that?" A girl questioned.

"I read it on his facebook," The guy replied. I heard someone sit up and two people rush over to his side.

"Who's she?" Another voice questioned. I bolted up, breathing heavily as I took in my surroundings.

"Where am I?" I asked as I took off the oxygen mask.

"You're in S.T.A.R. Labs. Both of you were struck by lightning," The girl told me.

"Sage Parker?" I heard a familiar voice ask.

I looked to my left and saw, "Barry Allen?"

"You two know each other?" The guy asked us.

"I saw him the night of the Particle Accelerator," I explained. I stood up, ripping the IV out of my arm. I stopped when a camera faced both, mine and Barry's stomachs.

"Lightning gave me abs?" Barry questioned.

"Both of you, actually," The girl told us.

"I'm Cisco Ramon and this is Caitlin, Dr. Snow," Cisco introduced.

"Mr. Allen, Ms. Parker, glad you could finally join us," Dr. Wells smiled. I looked at what I was wearing, a purple sports bra and sweats. Barry was wearing sweats, he was shirtless.

Barry went to talk with Dr. Wells, leaving me with Dr. Snow and Cisco.

"So, where are you from, Sage?" Cisco asked awkwardly, trying to break the silence.

"Starling City, actually," He nodded his head in reply.

"We read you're a doctor and scientist. Is that correct?" Dr. Snow asked me. I nodded and said,

"Yes. I am. Speaking of which I need to get back to my job."

"You can't. We need to run more tests," Dr. Snow told me.

"Why? I feel fine," I assured her.

I raced out before they could stop me. I started to move really fast and within seconds I was in my apartment. I started freaking out and hyperventilating. I took deep breaths and sped to S.T.A.R. Labs.

"What is happening to me?" I asked them. Everyone turned to look at me. Barry walked over to me.

"Are you moving really fast, too?" He asked. I nodded with wide eyes.

"What happened that night, was unexplainable. The accelerator went active, we all felt like heroes, and then, it all went wrong. A dimensional barrier ruptured, unleashing unknown energies into our world, anti-matter, dark energy, X-elements-" Barry cut him off and said,

"But those are all theoretical,"

"And how theoretical are you two? We've mapped dispersion throughout and around Central City, but we have no way of knowing exactly what or who was exposed," Dr. Wells explained.

"So we have...super powers?" I questioned.

"We've been searching for other metahumans, like yourselves," Dr. Snow told us.

"Metahumans?" Barry asked.

"That's what we've been calling them," Cisco shrugged.

"You're crazy!" I exclaimed. They all just stared at me.

"I do not have powers. I am ordinary. I don't believe in coincidences, fate, or destiny. I believe what I see, and right now I see a bunch of scientists telling me I have powers. I must be hallucinating. The lightning must've messed me up," I rambled. Dr. Snow put her hands on my shoulders and looked me in my icy blue eyes.

"Sage, you are not going crazy. This is all happening," She took her hands off of my shoulders.

"Maybe you should believe in coincidences, fate, and destiny," Cisco said.

"That was...random," Barry told him. He shrugged and went back to his computer.

I looked in the mirror and saw something different with my hair. "I don't have a purple streak," I whispered.

"The Lightning gave it to you. Must be a mark or something," Dr. Snow shrugged. I shook my head.

"I need to go home," I told her and sped out.

When I reached my apartment, for the second time today, I leaned against the door, slid down to the floor, and thought about all of this. I am a doctor. I can figure this out. I mean, I'm also a scientist. I grabbed my laptop and searched up...well, what can I search up? Metahumans? Lightning speed? Barry Allen? Wait, what? Why am I thinking of Barry Allen? I mean, I did kind of help him nine months ago. But why would I think of him? Because we're alike now? I mean, we're both scientists. But he works for the police, I work for...where do I work? Queen Consolidated. Shit! I was in Central City. Oliver's gonna kill me.
