FLASHGIRL2002:
Okay so I hope you guys enjoy.
*DASH*
Becca's POV:
Previously:
"I promise you I'm ready sir," Becca tell him. "I will try my hardest to keep up with the rest of my year. I will also try to keep my temper under control... after the coma I just want my life back to normal."
"Are you telling me that this guy made a bunch of people attack each other at a bank," Becca says to Barry.
Barry turns to his sister. "Not that you need to know," he says to her. "But yes."
"Becca," he groans. "I've told you your not a superhero."
She growls at him. "You only say that because you hate how I can go faster then you. Plus I have super senses."
"Becca you there!" Cisco exclaims causing Becca to wince. "Sorry I forgot your hearing is sensitive."
"Whats up Cisco?"she asks after rubbing her sore tab.
"The police got a ping," he says to her. "From the tracer hidden in the stolen cash. Swat teams closing in on the 1600 block of pass."
"Barry's already on his way," Caitlin says. "And he's probably going to kill us for contacting you."
"Thanks," She says.
Becca does a super spin and ends up in her costume as her others clothes fly off of her.
Barry and Becca arrive at the same time. One cop is pointing a gun at Joe and the others. Dash and Flash push them out of the way.
Arrow turns up and saves the day. Dash stares at her brother wondering how he knows him.
Barry stands in front of Felicity Smoak and Diggle.
"I have three questions," Becca says speeding next to him and the two people look at her shocked. "One who are they? Two: Why are you and the arrow aquaintances? And three: How do these people know who you are?"
"I have a question of my own," Barry says turning to glare at her. "Why are you following me?"
"Hi Barry," The woman says shocked. "And..."
"Dash," Becca says not giving her real name to someone she does not know.
"Hey, Felicity," Barry says clearly happy to see her. "How you doing Dig?"
"You're fast," the man who is clearly Dig says. "And she's faster."
Arrow turns up taking off his hood. Becca and him see each other.
"Hey," Barry says before Oliver can speak. "Thanks for showing up back there but I had it."
"We had it," Becca corrects her brother who says nothing.
Arrow just nods. "Uh-hu. Who is she?"
Becca glares. "She has a name. Its Dash."
"What I was getting ready to make my move," Barry says.
"What move?" Arrow wonders. "The one to the morgue for both of you. And I don't believe I invited the kid here."
"Oh he did not just call me a kid," Bcca says stepping forward but Barry stops her.
"Dash go wait over there," he says pointing to a building far away.
Dash stands in front of Joe when they returned to S.T.A.R Labs.
"Becca," Joe says crossing his arms. "You want to tell me what you were doing out so late on a school night?"
Becca sighs and shrugs. "Cisco contacted me thought that Barry might need some help."
"Well you need to head home right now young lady," Joe informs her. "And Dash better not be out that late again."
Barry walks over to Becca as he finishes speaking to Oliver Queen. "You really need to stop listening to my conversations."
"Well they concern both of us," Becca says and before he can retaliate. "I don't care what you say but Dash is a member of this team as much as Flash."
Arrow walks over to them. "Barry can I talk to you."
Barry glances at me before sighing.
"Its okay we can talk freely in front of her," Barry says.
Oliver looks at her suspicious.
"Okay," he finally says to Barry.
"Okay what?" Barry replies.
"Okay we'll help you catch your bad guy," Oliver finishes.
"Great," Barry replies and Beeca lets out a groan. "Meta-human."
"I'm not calling him that Barry," Oliver informs my brother.
Barry holds his hand out to him. "Partners."
Oliver sighs before taking the offered hand. "Partners."
Becca sighs now. "I guess its a good thing were a trio then."
Oliver turns to her.
"Why would it be a trio?" He asks her.
She smirks at him. "Because Dash is closer than you think."
His mouth drops open as he realizes what she is implying.
"Okay," he finally agree. "Then we will work together. All of us."
*DASH*
I begin to ponder wether this is a good idea. To team up with Arrow. There also seems to be some tension between Arrow and my brother.
They had done some training and from what I can gather... it did not go too well.
I went to meet Joe and Barry at the precint. Arrow refused to let me go to training and of course Barry agreed.
I don't get what my brothers problem is. I am stil keeping up with my schoolwork.
"Two things I won't be doing in this lifetime," I hear Joe say as I approach the two. "Play professional baseball and thank that lunatic."
"Hey," I say as Joe walks away.
"What are you doing here Becca?" Barry asks.
"I'm here to meet you," I point out and he looks unhappy as usual. "How did training go."
He shakes his head.
"Do not even ask," he tells me. "And don't you have homework to do?"
I glare at him.
"Finished," I state. "Not that you need to know."
"Let's just get to S.T.A.R labs," he says before smirking. "Wanna race?"
I nod and we both take off at the same time. I laugh as I race ahead of him and he struggles to keep up,
*DASH*
I smirk as I beat him there.
"Let me be the first to tell you," I say as he appears a few seconds after me. "Your too slow."
He grips me in a headlock and I struggle as Felicity appears.
"Hey," she says.
"Hey," we both reply.
I had decided to let team Arrow know who Dash is if we are going to work together. Barry finally releases me and I straighten my now frazzled hair.
"How'd it go with Oliver?" Felicity asks.
"To be honest not exactly the partnership I thought it'd be," Barry says and I wonder what happened.
"Did he really do the thing with the arrows?" Felicity asks.
I glance between them. "The thing with the arrows?"
"You knew he was gonna shoot me?" Barry demands.
She says something back but before I hear I hear the beeping from the computers.
"Hey we just got a ping from the facial recognition software," Cisco explains and I head towards him. "We got Biglo. AKA the prism."
I roll my eyes at him.
"Since when do we have facial recognition software?" Caitlin asks and I glance at Cisco.
"Happy Honica," Felicity says and I smile.
"Where can I find him?" Barry asks and I sigh.
"Traffic camera's just caught him entering a residence," Cisco tells him. "At 168 Jarvis."
I glance to Barry.
"We should let the Arrow know," Felicity tells us.
"I can handle this solo I've done it before," Barry says and turns to me. "Stay here."
"Not a chance," I say to him. "You need back up."
"Barry," Felicity says before Barry can argu with me. "I really think you need to-"
"Felicity!" Barry snaps and I glare at him. "I don't need his help. Becca for once do as I tell you and stay here."
He went zooming off. Felicity turned to me.
"Aren't you going after him?" She asks.
"No," I say folding my arms. "I am sick of trying to convince him. When he wants my help he can ask for it. I'm going home as I have homework to do."
I head for home.
*DASH*
The next day I find myself once again in the principals office. This time I had got in trouble for fighting. Even though it was five against one apparently its my fault.
Joe has once again been called.
But so have the other parents.
We are all sat around a table as the parents enter. The teacher who had caught us fighting speaks up first.
"So," they begin glancing around at all of us students. "Does anyone want to explain what went on out there."
Four out of five of the other students in here begin saying how I attacked them and they did nothing wrong. I continue to look at the ground.
"Miss West," the principall says and I look up at them. "Do you have anything to add."
I don't know wether to tell the truth or not.
"Rebecca!" Joe snaps.
I shake my head as I look down. But then the fifth student speaks up.
"Sir," she says and we all glance at her. "I have something to add. Rebecca did not start this... the others did."
I stare at her in shock and the others look like they are going to yell at her.
"Do you want to elaborate Miss Dennis?" The principall asks and I can feel Joe's eyes on the back of my head.
"They were doing what they always do," she says giving me a small smile. "They were calling her for her father being a murderer. They said that she might stab them... and then they grabbed her and tried to start a fight."
I can feel Joe's deep breath.
"Is this true miss West?" The principal asks turning to me.
I look straight at him so he knows I am not lying. "Yes sir."
All the other parents look angry to hear this about there kids.
"Well for fighting everyone will be suspended for two days," the principal says glancing around at all of us. "There will be detention for everyone but Miss West and Miss Dennis. Miss West if you have any further issues please come and see me. As for the rest of you bullying will not be tolerated."
We all head out. I run over to the girl who stood up for me.
"Thanks," I say smiling. "But why did you stick up for me?"
"Because I know what its like to be different," she says to me. "Trust me."
I nod and Joe comes towards me.
"I'll meet you at S.T.A.R Labs," I say taking off before he can say anything even though I know he is going to kill me for it later.
*DASH*
Before I get inside my phone goes off. I see that it is an unknown number.
"Hello," I say.
"It's Oliver," is the reply I get and I am shocked that he has my number. "Felicity got me your number. Listen there's something wrong with Barry."
I listen as he explains what happened.
"I'll let you know what I find out," I tell him before hanging up.
I head inside. "Felicity. Please don't give my number to the arrow again."
She looks sheepish.
"He told you the same thing," she says. "That Barry is acting strange."
I nod my head at her.
"Strangely how?" Dr. Wells asks looking from me to her and back again.
"He's been whammied," Joe states coming into the room and shooting me a look that states we will be talking later. "He was acting angry. It was scary. And his eyes... they glowed."
"Its possible that his bodies fighting off the effects so its hitting him slower," Caitlin suggests as she looks round at Dr. Wells.
"That is not a good thing," the doc points out. "The longer you surpress your emotion-"
"The bigger the explosion," Felicity finishes for him.
"Considering what he can do," Joe begins and I fold my arms in thought. "How do we stop him?"
"A cold gun would come in real handy right about now," Cisco points out as he turns to glance at the computers.
"Hey!" Joe and I say at the same time.
The team had explained to me all the metas Barry had faced without me the month I was still in the coma.
"I'm just saying," Cisco points out.
"None of us can really stop Barry," Dr. Wells says.
"Excuse me," I say stepping forwards full of annoyance. "Is anyone else forgetting that I have the same powers as Barry. I also and faster and my senses are a lot better."
"No!" Joe states. "You are not going out there on your own. You are too young."
"Joe's right," Dr. Wells says. "But fourtanetly Felicity knows someone who can help you to stop him. I think you better call back Oliver Queen. We're gonna need the arrows help."
I glare at them but Joe gives me a look.
"Its not up for discussion!" He states. "You are not facing your brother alone."
*DASH*
I race at the same speed as Arrow's bike as we race towards Barry's location.
I twist my hearing aid and I am shocked by what I hear.
"Arrow!" I call out and he turns to look at me. "Barry is attacking Iris and Eddie. I don't know why."
He nods and increases his speed. I increase mine as well.
As we get there Barry goes to attack Eddie. Oliver shoots an arrow that wraps around his body. I stop besides him as he pulls Barry away from Eddie.
"RUN!" Arrow commands the other two.
Iris tells Eddie the same thing and they both take off.
Barry gets to his feet and glares at the two of us.
"You need to calm down!" Arrow orders my brother.
"This isn't you," I try and get through to him. "You need to think clearly."
"Then you need to hold on!" Barry says to Oliver.
Before I can stop him Barry speeds off and drags Oliver along the ground behind him. I race after them and snap the rope that was holding Oliver. He gives me a grateful look.
Oliver shoots two arrows from the ground at him.
"You missed!" Barry says smirking.
"No!" Oliver points out and there is an explosion from the arrows.
Barry cries out as he goes flying forward.
I zoom arrow out of the way as Barry looks up and were gone. When Barry is not looking Arrow shoots at him. It hits him in the back.
We come up behind him and Arrow speaks. "2,000 grams of horse tranquilizer. Should be hitting you any time now."
Barry drops to one knee. He then yanks the arrow out of his back.
Standing up he begins to vibrate quickly which removes the tranquilizer from his body. It all comes out in green smoke.
He then turns to face us again.
He races at us and I get shoved out of the way as he begins to run circles around Arrow. As Arrow shoots his way out I race at Barry and shove him back.
"ENOUGH FLASH!" I yell trying to make him see sense.
"STOP TRYING TO BE A HERO!" He yells back and pushes me before glancing up at Arrow who used an arrow to go up a building. "WHERE YOU GOING?!"
He races up the building and I do the same trying to stop them from killing each other.
He pulls the arrow out and Oliver goes flying down. I gasp as he hits me and we both go flying. Oliver shoots another arrow and grips my waist as it pulls him up. We land safely on the ground and this time I shoot him a grateful smile.
Flash comes to stand besides us as Arrow cuts the rope.
"Is that all you got?" Barry asks.
I glance at Oliver and nod. We need to stop holding back.
As Barry runs at us I speed around him. He ducks under a kick from Oliver and dodges a punch from me.
"Becca!" Cisco says over the coms. "There's something else you can try with your senses. Amplify your soundwaves."
I shrug. "Huh?"
"SCREAM!" Both he and Felicity says making me jump.
I decide I have nothing to loose.
I take a deep breath and let loose a really loud scream. Both Barry and Oliver hold there ears. I turn and aim it at Barry knocking him backwards.
It knocks him off balance. He groans and glares up at me.
"I still believe in you Barry!" Oliver says.
"Me too!" I agree.
Barry goes to punch him and Oliver catches his fist.
I race forwards and shove Barry so Oliver can wrap his arms around him. He holds him as a van approaches.
The van comes to a sudden stop and the side door opens. A bunch of lights activate clearly this is the plan to free Barry.
Oliver releases him and I watch as his eyes glow red before returning to normal.
All three of us breathe heavily before Oliver speaks.
"Barry you okay?" Oliver asks as we watch him carefully.
"Oh this is gonna be a special kind of hangover!" Barry states making me smile a little.
We all chuckle glad that he is back to normal.
I walk besides the other two. Oliver supports Barry.
"Oliver I'm so sorry," Barry says as he remembers his actions of the day.
"Its not your fault," Oliver points out to him. "But we do still have your meta-human to take care of. Anything left in the tank?"
"Well if not there's two of us right?" Barry says.
"Three," I correct.
Barry doesn't hesitate he just nods and smiles. "Three."
*DASH*
We managed to stop the meta. He is now locked in the pipeline.
"You think this can stop me?" He asks all of us.
He starts to rant but we ignore him.
"Heard it all before pal," Cisco says as I walk behind him and Caitlin with Oliver.
We head back into the main room so we can all speak.
"My identity is a closely guarded secret known only to a few," Oliver says to all of us. "If it were to get out it would endanger my family, my friends and it would embolden to retaliate at me through them."
I smile as Felicity speaks up.
"What Oliver is trying to say is that he had a lovely time working with you," she corrects and I bite my lip at Oliver's face. "And getting to know each of you, and he can't wait to do it again soon."
"Right," Oliver says.
"You know it didn't sound like thats what he was saying," Cisco points out.
"I may not agree with your methods," Joe says walking forwards. "But thank you."
"Your welcome," Oliver says and they shake hands.
Felicity and Caitlin have a moment and so does Oliver and Dr. Wells. I go to head out. I just get outside when I head a voice.
"Hey," I turn to see Oliver. "Your friends told me of the problems you've been having with kids at school. Can I give you some advice?"
I sigh but nod.
"Talk to your father," he says and I raise an eyebrow. "You've hold onto so much hate for years. You have heard everyone else's opinion of your father. How about creating your own."
I think about it before nodding. "Thanks."
*DASH*
I head back inside and head for the main area. But before I get there I hear a throat clearing.
I look back and see both Joe and Barry stood there.
"Hi," I say approaching them. "Whats up?"
Joe crosses his arms. "I think you know whats up."
I sigh. "You wanna talk about school."
Barry nods and motions for me to sit down which I do.
"How long ago did they find out?" Joe asks looking straight at me.
"A couple of weeks before I went into my coma," I inform them. "One boy found out and it went round the whole school. Before long people were calling me names."
"What happened for you to get suspended the day of the explosion?" Barry asks frowning.
"Three of them cornered me outside my locker," I tell them thinking back to that day. "When they wouldn't move I tried to leave but one of them grabbed me. I told him to let go and when he wouldn't and asked if I would stab him I lost my temper."
Barry sighs before taking my hands.
"Why didn't you tell us?" Joe asks.
"Because they would've denied it," I tell him. "It would have been my word against theres and back then no one would stick up for me."
They shake there heads.
"I never realized how much that night effected you," Barry says. "What do you want us to do?"
I think about what Oliver says before speaking. "I want to see dad. I want to form my own opinion of him."
They nod. Joe stands up and pulls me to my feet.
"Well let's go."
*DASH*
I wait in iron heights prison. Joe had decided to wait away from me to give me some privacy.
The door opens and there he is. The man I was so angry at for so long. The man I refused to see no matter how many times Joe and Barry tried to get me to come.
My dad. When he sees me he looks competely shocked.
He sits down and we both grab the phones.
"Rebecca?" He says with tears in his eyes. "What a surprise!"
I nod.
"I'm sorry I never came before," I say to him. "I guess I didn't know what to say."
He shakes his head.
"Don't you worry," he smiles. "It's so good to see you."
I smile a little but feel the tears begin to fall.
"I am so sorry I doubted wether you were telling the truth," I say as I look down. "I believe now that you never killed mum."
"Rebecca," he says gently. "The reason I asked Joe to adopt you is so you could have a normal life. I didn't want you to have the same burdens as your brother."
"I still feel like I should have known," I say as I manage to calm down.
"You know," he says glancing me up and down. "I always knew you would grow up to look like your mum."
I feel a smile creep onto my face.
"No one has ever said I look like her," I point out.
"Oh your her minature," he says and I laugh.
I glance back at Joe and he motions that we have to go.
"I need to go," I say. "Bye dad."
"Will you come again?" He asks hopeful.
"Yeah," I say without hesitation. "I will."
He nods. "By Bex."
I walk over to Joe but I know that something has changed.
I believe Barry was right. My dad never would have killed my mum.
*DASH*
