One month later.
Jane stood on top of the ceiling of a skyscraper, surveying the streets. She was in a new Hunger Games style jumpsuit, a simple mask to disguise her face. She added a black skirt to it, just because. Cisco the tech wizard designed it for her after the team decided she was ready to be an official member of the team a few weeks before. Cisco even gave her a name. "Blink!" He said in an epic newscaster voice. "Because you can only teleport as fast as you blink! Eh? Eh?"
Jane nodded. "It has a nice ring to it. Jane Roberts, also known as Blink."
"I like it," Caitlin agreed. She was easily swayed by Cisco's names.
"Blink it is," Barry said, wrapping an arm around Jane. She smiled.
"Welcome to the team, Jane," Harrison Wells said behind her. She had gotten over her fangirling of him fast. She didn't really blame him for her accident. He couldn't do anything to stop it, nor could anyone else. He was pretty cool, but he wasn't too fun to be around either.
Jane shook the memory away, focusing on what was going on. "I don't see anything," she said into her comm, still surveying.
"He should be around there somewhere, keep looking," Oliver Queen said in her ear through the comm. Jane had also learned about Oliver being the Arrow. She wasn't too surprised, but it was still a bit of a shock.
Suddenly, a streak of reddish orange light flew by Jane. "He's headed towards 32nd and Park," she reported to Cisco, transporting herself to that intersection. "He turned right, then he turned on 33rd."
"I got it," Oliver said.
"I'm still following him," Jane said, blinking after him. She finally got ahead of him, so she reached out with her telekinesis and stopped him in his tracks. He was in the same alleyway as Oliver, and she let Barry go at the sight of Oliver.
"Good job, Jane," She heard Wells say in her earpiece. While Oliver distracted Barry, a STAR Labs van came hurling down the street, and the door flew open, activating a series of blinding blue lights. Barry fell down, along with the lights, and Jane blinked down and helped the others with Barry.
"How are you feeling, Jane?" Caitlin asked, concerned.
"I'm a bit sleepy, but I'm not going to faint or anything."
Caitlin nodded. "That's good."
They got back to STAR Labs, and Barry woke up not too much later. They told him what happened, and Barry felt really bad, as usual.
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean any of that. I need to go apologize," he rambled, skedaddling.
"Alright, good job, team. Jane, go home and rest. Cisco and Caitlin, good job," Wells said, dismissing us. His wheelchair whirred as he slowly left.
Cisco gave out high-fives, and Caitlin and Jane took them. "Good job guys! Who wants a go at Big Belly Burger?"
"Okay, let me change, and let's not meet at the one I work at. You guys go on ahead. I can leave a note for Barry just in case he wants to join us."
"Okay, see ya later!" Cisco said, walking out. Caitlin waved, following him. Jane found a sticky note and put it on one of the many monitors, saying "meet us at BBB", and Jane blinked out.
After she changed clothes, she decided to walk instead of blink. She liked to pass all the people, wondering their life story and backgrounds. It was mind blowing to consider that everyone she passed had a life. She also needed the exercise.
When she arrived, she spotted Cisco and Caitlin near the back of the room, chatting animatedly. Jane was about to walk over when a finger tapped her shoulder. She turned around to see Barry with a wide grin. He wrapped a long arm over her shoulder.
"Hey!" He said.
"I see you're in a batter mood," Jane observed.
"Yeah. I am," he said, leading them over to the table.
Jane felt she had a sibling-like relationship with Team Flash, especially Barry. He was kind, smart, and caring. He had the mindset that everyone needed to be protected from the evils of society, and just evil people in general. He kept his problems to himself, and he felt obligated to help with everyone else's.
Cisco was the cool, funny one who kept a smile on people's faces during tough times. He was extremely smart, but he made a habit out of simplifying things for Jane, who only had a high school level education. Jane thought he was pretty cool.
Caitlin was a voice of reason within the band of heroes. She was a big sister to Jane. She knew exactly what to say to fix a situation, and she gave the best advice. She was quieter than Cisco or Barry, but she still cracked a few jokes every now and then. She was intelligent as well, sometimes leaving Jane in a stupor. She looked up to her, both as a role model and a friend.
They were all socializing away, until one of the waitresses told them that it was almost closing time, and they decided to leave. Jane exchanged hugs and goodbyes, and Barry walked with Jane.
"What is it like?" Jane asked. "Running faster than the speed of light and being able to tell what's going on when doing so?"
Barry sighed. "Well, when everything is normal for you, sometimes, when I'm moving fast enough, time slows down for me, helping me to perceive things."
"That's weird," Jane observed with a scoff.
"You wanna see?" Barry offered.
"No."
"Oh well. Where do you want to go?" He asked.
"My house."
"What street is it on?"
"Young Circle."
"Okay, I know where that is," he said, scooping Jane off of her legs and moving off. Jane glanced at her watch. It was 9:32. She looked up and they were traveling at the speed of light, which was a strange experience for Jane, not unlike her one time being fed pot cookies.
After a while, Barry skidded to a hault.
"Young Circle. Just like you said."
She looked down at her watch, which had just changed to 9:33. Jane, without warning, hugged Barry with her singular arm, who hugged her back with both.
"Thanks for including me, Barry," Jane said. "Sometimes I feel so left out, but you guys just make things so simple."
"You're welcome. I'm sorry I was so mean to you guys, I didn't mean any of it."
"Don't worry about that." Jane dismissed, letting go. "See you later."
"Bye," Barry said, watching her blink inside and leaving himself.
