"OF MANY EARTHS"
(The Flash: Jesse Wells, part 5 of 5)

Jesse opened her eyes to a brand new morning on Earth 3, and with a smile, she was off. Her team didn't have one place to gather in, though more often than not it would be Patty's office they came to gather in. Other times, it would be Caitlin's lab, though any time they would find themselves there it would seem as though the three of them who weren't Caitlin felt just a bit uneasy. Jesse for her part just couldn't get over this version of her, compared to the cold meta of Earth 2 and the mild-mannered doctor of Earth 1.

Today was not a lab day. Today saw them pooled into Patty's PI office, where Jesse was able to share the thought her sleepless mind had latched on to the night before, the thought that could see them bring in Lisa Snart once and for all. And just like that, they were working, the four of them together. The moment Jesse's hunch was shown to have paid off, she was gone.

Running through the city the way she did, it wouldn't matter which Earth she was on. She knew this place like the back of her hand.

Lisa Snart was just where she was supposed to be, and in the next minute it became even more so, as she was sped off into the capable hands of the CCPD. The slate had been cleared, and this was one more problem gone as well. She felt good again, she felt optimistic. Jay Garrick would return home someday, and wherever she would end up, Jesse was confident it would be the place where she belonged, where she could do what she was meant to do.

Maybe now it was time, to find the middle ground, between not wanting to lay down roots, knowing she would someday leave, and needing a place of her own, in the event she was here longer than expected, so she wouldn't have to intrude on Jay's home anymore, or at least his couch.

Patty was looking for a roommate, so why not her? She had no contact with the Patty Spivot of Earth 1, she was the only one within her team where that could be said. She'd have to leave her as much as the others someday, she knew, but she couldn't ignore an opportunity when it came to her.

Just like that, she and her very few belongings came to move into Patty's spare room. It was a different view to wake up to in the morning, and that could be good for her.

Someday maybe, if her time on this Earth went on long enough, she would tell the others all about where she'd really come from and why. It would be an interesting conversation for sure. Her team, her friends here, had each of them an inquisitive mind and, she had to hope, an open mind. They would take on to the reality of it just as she had.

Iris continued to try and introduce Jesse to her brother, and Jesse continued to tell her no, as kindly as one could. If she ever shared her secret with them, maybe by then Iris would understand that Jesse already had a Wally West of her own waiting on Earth 1 and that this one, great as he was made out to be, would not be him.

Her first night at Patty's, she did not struggle for sleep as she'd done the night before. She was out like a light, and in the morning, it was just as though she had been here from the start. Just what the city had to offer her this time around was anyone's guess. Maybe it would be an off day, or maybe a new foe would rise up to try her, as all the others had done before. Either way, she was ready.

One day she would look back on these days, knowing that this present now turned past had been as important as any moment in her life. But first she had to live it.


See you tomorrow in Volume A for Arrow!
