You guys get some flashback in this… also, ANNOUNCEMENT! Because I love (obsessed) with the Avengers (comics and movies), I rebooted an old story of mine! It's called Mad and I hope you'll all read it! Ciao!

"Welcome to the CCPD." Barry introduces as he, Caitlin, and I walk into our place of work.

"So, this is part of your guys day job. Wow." I truly can't tell if Caitlin is surprised or not.

"I'm gonna rip out your hearts and eat 'em for lunch." A passing drunk says, stepping between the three of us with Officer Greg behind him.

"Delightful." Caitlin using sarcasm, a first for everything.

"Lab rats," A gun is shoved to my chest by Detective Stacy, "Need prints off this gun pronto." Nice to see you to.

"Allen!" Singh yells, "Where the hell is that fiber analysis on the Olaf case?"

"Upstairs, it's all finished," Yeah, uh huh, sure, "I can just run up and bring down." Barry walks out and turns a corner up the stairs.

Singh scoffs, "With you that could take three days from now, I'll go with you." He begins to walk away and Caitlin and I follow.

"Welcome to our life," I mutter to Caitlin, "Lots of yelling or orders."

Singh notices Caitlin as we catch up with him and asks her, "Who are you?"

"Doctor Caitlin Snow," She answers, "Barry and Ana's personal physician." Okay, that's partially true. She does have to come over to my house and fix me up when I rip something, same goes for Barry.

When we get upstairs, papers are scattered everywhere and Barry stands there with the file, "The fiber analysis for the Olaf case, lie you asked for, sir"

Singh takes the file hesitantly, as if it's not real. He shakes his head before turning away and saying, "Clean up your lab, it's a mess."

"Delightful, isn't he?" I say before I sit myself in my chair and Barry begins the analysis. This would take a while, maybe an hour. I let out a yawn and burrow into my chair, and unintentionally slip into memory.

"What the hell was that? I had him," I told Oliver as we reentered the hideout, "You shouldn't have interfered."

"Actually, I should have," Oliver said, getting in my face, "You were both untrained and reckless. You could have gotten yourself killed if I hadn't stepped in. I'm only go to say this once, Ana, you have no idea what you're doing."

I narrowed my eyes, "And you do?"

"Actually, yes I do. I have an actual goal; to save this city. You are just fueled with rage from your parents death, rage from revenge. You-"

"Shut up," I cut him off, but he continues.

"No, I won't shut up, Anastasia. The reason you're doing this is because of your parents death and Barry. That's your only reason. You just want to-"

I materialize into diamond and the echoing sound of rock connecting to skin ripples through the base, "I said shut up."

Oliver, who has been knocked to the ground, spits out blood before he quickly sweeps me under my feet, using his left leg to knock me down to my butt, "I call the shots around here, not you." He stands up fully and I glare at him.

"You may be in charge of them," I point to the others, who observed our stand off, "But you're sure as hell not in charge of me."

I wake up to Barry asking a question, "Ronnie, what was he like?" This grabs my attention and I sit up, rubbing the sleep from my eyes, "You just never talk about him that much."

Why is it that as soon as relationships are mentioned, I suddenly become very interested?

I lurch forward as Caitlin starts to answer, "We met when we were working on the particle accelerator. He was the structural engineer. He liked to joke he was basically a very high priced plumber," Barry and I both smiled in amusement, "We were very different. You might have noticed I can be a bit...guarded. Ronnie knew how to make me laugh. He used to say we were like fire and ice. He wasn't supposed to be there that night," Caitlin's voice cracked, "He was just there for me. He hadn't-" The computer beeps, interrupting Caitlin. She immediately changes subject and become involved with the diagnostic, "It says that there was no residue of gas in the tissue; poisonous or otherwise."

"Must've evaporated," Barry comments, "We'll need to get a fresh sample."

I am about to agree until Caitlin is caught by something else, "Wait, this can't be right," Caitlin shows us the paper, "It says that there are two distinct strands of DNA inside the tissue."

My brow furrows, "How would someone elses DNA get into the victim's lungs? I don't see any logical connection."

"Let me check," Barry begins to double check the diagnostic and database, "There's no DNA match in the database."

"I don't understand," Caitlin states, as confused as Barry and I, "Why would a chemical attack leave behind another person's DNA inside the victim?"

Barry looks at us, "What if the metahuman we're looking for doesn't control gas?" I don't understand, "What if he becomes it?"

It hits me like a ton of bricks right there, "Oh mierda."

"Did you just curse in Spanish?" Caitlin questions.

"Yes, but that's not important," I answer quickly, "This is the missing link! It explains everything! The reasons that there was no evidence of a gas tank or entry was because he evaporated and entered in that form. Thus allowing him to kill off the victims without leaving any evidence of himself. Only thing he probably doesn't count on is us. God, I love metahuman knowledge!"

Barry and Caitlin give me a look that crosses between confused and freaked out. At that moment, the police radio went off in our lab, "All available units, we have a report of a toxic attack at the Central City Shopping Center."

Barry immediately gets up and goes to the locker in which his suit is stored. Caitlin tries to stop him, "Barry, don't. We don't know what we're facing yet. It's not safe."

He didn't listen to her, and I don't argue because he's not gonna listen to me, "Caitlin, Ana, I have to go." In a (no pun intended) flash, Barry is gone.

Caitlin turns to me, "You have you suit?"

I open my purse and flash her the darkness, "You really don't need to ask."

I know it was short, it was longer but I decided to shorten it so it could come out tonight. Hope you all are well and PLEASE check out Mad, my Avengers story. Love you all! Ciao~
