Sage's POV

I pulled away and smiled. I haven't seen Joe since I was a kid. "You two know each other?" Iris asked. Joe nodded and turned towards her.

"I was the one leading the investigation of her family's death. Not to mention the one that got her in a good home," He smiled. My heart hurt a little at that statement. Family's Death. It sounds so...dark and depressed. Was my childhood really that bad?

"Honey, slow down," My mom told my dad. My dad gripped the steering wheel so hard his knuckles were turning white.

"I-I can't. The brake isn't working," He replied, fear in his voice. Jake looked up from our game of hangman.

"What do you mean it isn't working? Slam your foot on the damn brake, Dad," Jake said. Our mother turned around to look at us right before the car drove off of the bridge, plunging in the cold water. My dad tried busting the door out as the car filled with water.

"Mommy?" I cried as I watched the water pour in.

"Sh. It's gonna be okay, Sage," She told me, giving me a reassuring smile. I watched as Jake and Dad tried busting the door. I picked up the wrench on the floor and handed it to Jake. He gave me a small smile before hitting the glass.

"Dad, the water pressure's too strong. It won't break," He told him.

"How the fuck does a window not break?" My Dad yelled as he kicked the windshield.

"Mom, what's going on?" I asked her, fear creeping in my voice. She climbed to the back seat with Jake and I. She wrapped us in a hug as the water reached my chest.

"I love you all," She said with tears in her eyes and kissed our heads. Jake and Dad gave up trying to break their way out of the car and my Dad stayed in the driver's seat while my Mom climbed back up front.

"Jake?" I asked, sniffling.

"Sh. It's gonna be okay Sage. We'll be fine," He replied and pulled me close to him. My head was now underwater. I couldn't breathe. The water reached the ceiling of the car. I felt myself go unconscious as the oxygen left my body.

"Sage?" Barry asked.

"What?" I asked, snapping out of the memory. He held another box.

"Room. Where's your room?" He asked. I looked to Joe and Iris.

"Follow me," Joe replied and walked down the hallway. We nodded and followed him into a blue room.

"My old room," Barry whispered as he put the box down.

"Yeah. Sorry. It's the only open room I have. So set up and come down for dinner," Joe told me. I nodded and they all left.

I woke up to a blinding light. "W-what happened?" I muttered as my eyes fluttered open. I looked around and took in all the white walls.

"She's awake!" I heard a doctor yell. I heard footsteps pile in the room.

"What happened?" I repeated, scared. I'm in a room and I don't know where I am.

"You were in a car accident. Your car drove off of a bridge into the water. You almost drowned," He explained. Then it all came back to me.

"Where are my parents? Where's Jake?" I asked as my icy blue eyes searched the room frantically. I saw all of their faces fall. I may be 8 but I know what that means.

"No! They can't be dead! Please tell me I'm wrong," I pleaded. An African-American walked in. I saw a police badge on his belt, clarifying his job.

"Sage, I'm sorry to tell you but, you were the only survivor," He said.

As I looked around the blue room I noticed a picture frame on the night stand. I set down the box and picked up the picture. I saw two people, parents, and their son. He looks a lot like Barry. "That's me when I was 11," I heard someone say. I jumped and turned around.

"Sorry. It was on the nightstand," I replied as I handed it to him.

"It's fine. I've been looking for that picture for years. It's the only thing I have left of my mom," He told me as he studied it.

"I'm sorry. I didn't know. If it helps, my parents died when I was 8," I said. He looked up at me.

"That's why you didn't want me touching the picture," He confirmed. I nodded and pulled out the picture of the four of us.

"I was the only survivor in the accident. Everyone else drowned. That's why I got scared when Oliver carried me to the pool. My biggest fear is water," I admitted.

When I woke up at 7:00 and got ready for work. When I arrived at S.T.A.R. Labs everyone turned to look at me. "Ms. Parker. I see you accepted the offer," Dr. Wells smiled.

"A friend convinced me. In a very...harsh way," I replied.

"Harsh how?" Cisco asked me as he raised an eyebrow. I rolled my eyes and sat down.

"He targeted my past," I shrugged and took a sip of my coffee. Cisco nodded and went back to working on, well, whatever he was working on. Barry walked in and stopped when he saw me.

"What?" I asked him. He's staring at me with a shocked expression.

"Didn't think I'd show up?" I smirked. He nodded and sat next to me. I laughed and finished my coffee.

"Since you're on the team, I want to show you something," Cisco said. I got up and followed him. He turned something around and I saw a purple suit.

"It's an exact replica of Barry's except, well, it's for a woman," He explained. I nodded and ran my hand across the fabric.

"Nice," Barry smiled as he stared at the suit. I studied it's fabric and the size.

"What's with the lightning bolt?" I questioned as I ran my hand over the yellow lightning bolt.

"It looks cool," Cisco said. I laughed and walked back over to my seat. As Barry and Cisco talked about anything they could think of I sat there and stared at Barry.

"Sage?" Caitlin whispered and waved her hand in front of my face. I jumped a little, snapping out of my trance, and looked up at her.

"What?" I asked her. She smirked and nodded her head towards Barry.

"What about him?"

"Do you like him? You keep staring at him," She replied. Do I like Barry? His perfect brown hair, comforting blue eyes, perfect teeth, fit body, charming attitu-woah. Am I crushing on The Flash? No, I can't be. I'm just...observing him. Or am I staring at him? What the hell am I thinking?

"When you're done having a mental debate with yourself you can tell me," Caitlin said. I jumped up before she could walk away, catching her by surprise.

"I think I'm crushing on Barry. I wouldn't really know, though. I've never dated, or kissed anyone, and I don't think I've really had a crush on anyone before. What's a crush like?" I asked Caitlin. She held her hand up to her mouth, trying to stifle her laughter. She's failing. Epicly. She shook her head and walked away as Cisco told us to suit up. Barry and I sped over to our suits, suited up, and sped to the scene.

"Robbery," Barry told me. I nodded and sped around the building.

"We're good. Nothing outside that could harm us. Just the robber," I told him and we sped inside.

"You take this seriously, don't you?" He asked me.

"When you work with the Arrow you learn," I shrugged and looked for the robber. When I spotted one of them I sped towards him, grabbed his gun, knocked him out, and sped to another. When Barry and I finished taking out the crew we sped them to the police outside.

"There's two of them now?" One of the robbers asked.

"They must be dating," Another added. I rolled my eyes and followed Barry to S.T.A.R. Labs.
