"What did you mean when you said you know how the dark matter affected me?" Laurel asked.

"I said I think, since this is only going off a theory I have based on events that happened on my earth." Wells said.

"Like what, exactly?" Barry asked as Harry streamed his watch onto the screens.

"That's me, but I've never worn that outfit before, but I have to say, I still look good in black." Laurel said.

"No, this is not you and be thankful it isn't. On my earth, the name Laurel Lance strikes fear into the hearts of every person who hears it." Harry said.

"Wait, what?" Laurel asked.

"On my earth, Laurel Lance is metahuman with a powerful sonic scream capable of destroying entire buildings and she's one of Zoom's most trusted lieutenants. She calls herself Black Siren." Harry said.

"Wait, seriously, first Caitlin, than Cisco and now Laurel. Is everyone I know an evil metahuman on your earth?" Barry asked.

"No, but my point is that Cisco has the exact same powers as Reverb, so it stands to reason that Laurel would have the same powers as Black Siren, especially since you were screaming when the dark matter hit you." Harry said.

"I hate to say it but Harry has a point." Barry said.

"I need some air." Laurel said, right as the meta alarm sounded.

"Sounds like I have to run." Barry said, speeding out of there.

"Laurel, you at least have to let us test you to see if Harry's right." Cisco said.

"I know, it's just, I'm afraid of what we'll find out. I mean. Harry, you said it yourself. Earth 2 me is a bitch and if I have the same powers as her, how do I know that I won't become just like her. I mean, I moved to Central City to get away from that sort of life and yet I find myself being pulled right back into it." Laurel said, tears falling from her eyes.

"Look, Laurel, even if you have powers, it doesn't mean you have to use them. You can still live a normal life. But something tells me you never meant for that. Some people, like Barry, like Oliver, like me, we're just not meant to have normal lives. And that is what makes life worth living. Knowing that you're something bigger than yourself. And no matter what you try and tell yourself, you can't deny that miss helping people outside of the courthouse." Cisco said.

Laurel looked up at him and Cisco saw a fire in her eyes that he hadn't seen in a long time.

"Let's start those tests. And you're right. I think I finally found my purpose for being the Black Canary again." Laurel said.

"Good to hear. Because no matter how invincible Barry is feeling, I get the feeling he'll need your help." Cisco said.

"What about Caitlin?" Iris asked.

"Henry is taking good care of her. All we can do now is hope she wakes up." Harry said.


When they got to the training arena, Cisco put on the same earbuds Barry used to stop Pied Piper as protection.

"Okay then, let's see if you can scream." Cisco said.

"You know I'm kind of hoping I give you hearing damage, since if you hadn't had convinced me to be here when you got Barry his speed back, I wouldn't be in this mess." Laurel said as prepared herself.

"Understandable, but first, let's see just how loud you can get." Cisco said.

Laurel nodded as she took a deep breath and screamed.

Sure enough, it was like her canary cry device, only much more powerful.

"I think you might've gotten your wish about my hearing loss. I just hope it isn't permanent." Cisco shouted, causing Laurel to laugh.

"Well now we know. All I need now is my suit." Laurel said.


Cisco's hearing had returned by the time he and Laurel returned to the Cortex and they found Henry treating Barry's injuries and Christina Mcgee in the room.

"What happened?" Cisco asked.

"I ran into Black Siren. She completely demolished Mercury Labs. I managed to get everyone out safely, but she still did a number on me when I confronted her. I'm gonna need some backup." Barry said.

"Well then, looks like Black Siren is about to meet Black Canary." Laurel said.

Barry grinned and said "I was hoping you'd say that. Come on, Cisco, why don't you show her what you've been working on."

"My pleasure." Cisco said.

"What exactly have you been working on?" Laurel asked suspiciously.

"Well, you know how I made suits for Jessie Quick and Kid Flash?" Cisco asked, referring to Jessie and Wally by their speedster names.

"I still can't believe Wally chose Kid Flash as his codename." Laurel said.

"Well, I also made a new and improved version of the Black Canary suit, just in case." Cisco said as he pushed a button and next to the Kid Flash mannequin they'd set up next Barry's, the wall panel slid away, revealing a new suit for Laurel.

"Okay, that is awesome." Laurel said.

Cisco smiled and said "I figured you'd think that. The suit is made out of the same protective material as Barry's, Wally's and Oliver's, triple condensed Kevlar, should withstand bullets and blades, and I added a few other modifications for fun."

"What sort of modifications?" Laurel asked.

"I magnetized the gloves, allowing you to throw your batons and be able to actually call them back to you." Cisco said.

"Sweet, anything else I should know about?" Laurel asked.

"The batons are also teched out. They can combine into a bo staff should you ever decide to fight that way and they can be electrified." Cisco said.

"Sounds like I won the lottery on supersuits." Laurel said.

"Yeah, well, you better suit up. Something tells me you're going to have to learn to use your powers in the field like I did." Barry said.

"Let's do this." Laurel said.

"How come Laurel gets to help you but Jessie and I can't? I mean, we have powers to." Wally said as he and Jessie entered the room.

"Because Laurel already has experience dealing with this kind of stuff. I promise, once Zoom is dealt with, I will start training you both on how to properly use your speed, but for right now, just trust me, it's best if leave this to people with experience." Barry said as Laurel grabbed and her suit and headed off to change.
