The next chapter to The Devil's Daughter is coming soon. Just to prove it to you, here's a sneak peek on the next chapter.
"What is it, Caitlin?" Cisco asks once he and Caitlin are in the labs in private.
"I think you should take a look at this," Caitlin shows him her Q-Pad where a picture of Raven is displayed. Though Raven looks less shy and is wearing provocative clothing and dark make-up. "I was finally about to identify her. Her real name is Nancy O'Connell and she's from Star City. Her parents died in a car accident ten years ago. Three years ago, she got kicked out of an orphanage for inappropriate conduct and disappeared." Cisco continues to stare at Raven's picture in surprise. The real name being Nancy O'Connell. But it can't be the same Nancy, can it? This girl in the picture, wearing provocative clothing and looking like she wants to bash you in the face with a glass bottle, can't be the same girl he found in the middle of the road. There has to be a mistake.
"Are you sure that Raven, the girl who have here in S.T.A.R. Labs' medical wing, is Nancy O'Connell?" he asks.
"The DNA test is 99.9% positive that it's Nancy O'Connell," she confirms, "And yet, I have a strange feeling that it's not the same Nancy O'Connell. I don't know. It's weird. She's different than the one in the picture. Same appearance but different personality. I wouldn't be surprised if she lost her memory or something. Now I'm still curious about her powers. Maybe she got her powers when the particle accelerator exploded."
"This doesn't make any sense though," he says, "The particle accelerator only affected the people in Central City. And according to the article here, the events of her disappearance happened way after the particle exploded. She was still in Star City at the time. How did Raven...or Nancy...get her powers then?"
Caitlin shrugs her shoulders. "Beats me. You're going to have to ask your girlfriend that."
"Raven is not my girlfriend, Caitlin," he says almost irritably. However, Caitlin raises an eyebrow at him. Cisco rolls his eyes, and continues on the subject, trying to hide the blush from his cheeks. "So what do we do now? Do we call SCPD or the orphanage that tossed Nancy out?"
"Maybe SCPD but don't count on the orphanage," she says, "Zandia Orphanage has been shut down for three years now."
"Why?"
"The place had a bad reputation of neglecting children. They kicked kids out into the streets for unsavory behavior. SCPD found at least six minors abandoned in the streets and were taken to social services."
"Wait," Cisco has heard something familiar but can't remember what it is. He knows that is has to do with the orphanage. Somehow, he feels like scenario Raven went through is familiar. "What was the orphanage called again?"
"Zandia Orphanage."
Cisco suddenly realizes something. "...That's the same orphanage Rachel Roth once was. Slade told me he and Oliver had the place shut down and the rest of the kids relocated to another orphanage after Rachel died."
Caitlin's eyes widen in surprise. "You think there's a connection?"
He looks over at Raven. Harry is still trying to get her to write answers on the sheet of paper he gave her but she continues to stare at him blankly and shaking her head. She probably doesn't even remember being Nancy O'Connell and is confused on who she is. "...Maybe."
