10. Chapter 10

Astrid awoke from her deep sleep in her room, entirely out of breath. She had just suffered from a horrible nightmare, that had felt far too real. The last thing that she remembered in regards to being awake was being on Earth 2. The evil clone of Harry had attacked her friends and their dopplegangers. She had channeled his powers, she had even absorbed his powers and had used them on him.

She knew that she had fallen on the battle field. That would explain the searing pain in her back. Her friends had clearly brought her back home and left. She was surprised that Cisco hadn't spent the night to watch over her.

In her nightmare, she had somewhat lost her mind, she had spent the evening with Leonard Snart and Mick Rory… She had even gotten a tattoo. She had even enjoyed herself. But she had been so weak, that she had been ordered to go home. But fortunately, it had all been a bad dream. She pushed the lingering thoughts of her nightmares to the back of her mind and called Cisco.

She could tell that she had woken him. "Hey, Cisco. I'm surprised that you're not at mine. I just woke up from a horrible nightmare. Captain Cold and…" She began.

But before she could finish her sentence, a breach appeared into her room. Cisco was in his own pajamas. "You have your memory back?" he asked her.

"What do you mean? Of course I do!" she said, confused.

"Do you remember acting like a high school girl and… ya know… going out with Captain Cold and Heatwave?" he asked her.

Astrid laughed, "Cisco… did you seriously just vibe my own nightmare? Wow, your powers are getting so much stronger." He stared at her with a straight face.

"No!" she said sternly… "No! I didnt! Oh, God no! No! I didn't, did I?" she was shaking her head. He grinned at her and nodded.

"I'm just glad that you're back to being you again," he said as he joined her on the bed and went to kiss her. But she moved him backwards. She was thinking about the pain to her back.

"Cisco…" she said with tears in her eyes. "Can you please have a look at my back?" she asked him, She was afraid of what he might find.

She laid on her stomach, as he lifted up the back of her top. "Astrid… why do you have a tattoo saying 'ROGUE' on your back?" he asked her, just as she let out a loud angry scream into her pillow.
