Hope you enjoy!

Chapter 25: Winter Part 1

(Before particle accelerator)

STAR Labs towered in front of me. I reached for the door and put my hand on the handle with bold words saying "PUSH" on it, stopping there.

"I can't do this," I whispered, taking a deep breath. I closed my eyes for a moment, quietly whispering "You can do this." over and over until I finally opened the door.

It's only the first day.

I walked into a lab, taking in my surroundings. Counters, supplies, and three scientists. A girl and two boys. The girl looked up and rushed over to me.

"Hi. I'm Caitlin Snow. This is Ronnie Raymond and Cisco Ramon." The girl said.

Cisco and Ronnie both smiled politely and waved.

"Sierra Winters." I smiled politely back.

(Present day)

I looked around, searching desperately for a red-haired girl with distinct blue eyes.

The chief said she will probably be in the lab.

Entering the lab I see what I assumed was Sam and Barry, the two people the chief said I'd be working with. Sam was a couple inches shorter than Barry, but most of them were made up by the boots she was wearing. She had dark red hair and bright blue eyes and was wearing a very casual-looking outfit with dark colors. Barry seemed to be the opposite of Sam, he had brown hair and eyes and was wearing a red t-shirt with jeans.

"Excuse me?" I said, clearing my throat.

"Oh," Sam said with a cheery voice, turning to me. "You're Sierra, right?"

"Yeah," I said, tucking hair behind my ear.

"Bear, I have an assistant!" She grinned. "Hello, assistant."

"I'm Barry," Barry greeted.

(A long fricken while ago)

"There's an anomaly in the core chamber," Cisco said, glued to his screen.

"The ring's structural integrity is holding," Caitlin added, the storm was affecting the Accelerator in a way that wasn't good at all.

"It's started a chain reaction. The system is collapsing, we need to shut it down." Wells said in a calm panic.

"We can't ramp down the accelerator from here. We need to do it manually." Cisco said, knowing the risks of both fixing and leaving the machine.

Wells yelled at Cisco to go.

"I'll come with." Ronnie said, "Sierra, I'll need you."

Ronnie and Caitlin had a mini-argument where she begged him to not leave.

-We got to the Accelerator-

"We've only got a few minutes before this thing blows, and if I'm not back in time, you need to initiate lockdown, Cisco." Ronnie turned to me, "I'll need you to come with me."

"No way. I am not closing this door. I won't be able to open it again. I'll come, not her." Cisco protested

"Cisco, if you don't seal off the blast, everyone in this building will die, including Caitlin." Caitlin and Ronnie are engaged, I always thought they were sweet together.

"I'd rather have me die than you." I said, "Promise us. Two minutes. Set your watch."

"You're coming back!" Cisco yelled at us as we left

(Present day)

"What was your last job?" Sam asked curiously. "If you'd want to talk about it."

"I was an engineer at STAR Labs, but they let me go after the Accelerator accident." She gave me a weird look, "I was mainly an engineer, but I also knew the science stuff, too."

"STAR Labs?" Barry asked with more curiosity than Sam had. "Were you there when it…?"

"Yeah, almost died."

"Us too." Sam laughed. It didn't take long for her to start beaming about something else.

(in the core chamber)

With my help, Ronnie successfully fixed the accelerator...almost.

"Listen, Sierra, there's just a little bit left to do, but if you stay, we'll never make it back in time." There was desperation in his voice.

"I'm not leaving without you, Ronnie." I resisted.

"Tell Cait that I love her." He didn't take his eyes off the machine.

"Ron-" Tears filled my eyes.

"Run, Sierra!" He shouted. There was little time. "Run!"

I did as I was told, making it to the door as Cisco pressed the button. I wanted to give up, but I made it through without passing out or being cut in half. My eyesight was fuzzy, my head was-I don't even know how to explain it.

I collapsed onto Cisco and blacked out.

-The next day-

I arrived at the scene as Detecting West and Thawne did.

There was a scorched body in the middle of a junkyard-ish scene.

"I hope you all skipped your breakfast," Barry said as we approached.

The detectives shared their 'whoa's before Thawne spoke. "What the hell could do that?"

"This area's filled with combustibles. How come nothing else burned up?" West said, questioning his surroundings. "Where you going?"

"You see the soot on the ground where the cement is burnt?" Barry asked

"Arc blasts, right?" I spoke up.

"Yeah. It happens when high-amperage currents travel or arc through the air." He explained to West and Thawne

"There's no live wires. There's no utility poles." West said, again looking around him.

"So how was this guy electrocuted?" Thawne asked

"Well, the first thing we need to do is ID him," West stated

"His face is melted off. How's that picture gonna help ID him?" Thawne questioned

"Yeah, how is it, Bear? Can't I use my abilities and ID him through teeth?" Sam half asked and half complained.

"I got mad skills," Barry replied with a grin.

"Please don't ever say that again." Sam and West begged at the same time.

I opened my eyes, the light is almost blinding. I sat up, hearing my heartbeat on a nearby monitor.

"She's awake!" Someone yelled-Cisco. I felt-and heard-my heartbeat speed up. Caitlin entered and they both walked closer to me as I sat up. Caitlin continued to try to do tests on me as Cisco yelled at her to stop. "Give her a moment." He looked at her in an almost threatening way.

I didn't know what to ask first. Did the accelerator end up working? Is everyone ok? Am I okay? How's Sav? Where's Sav? How long was I out? So many questions ran through my head. It was all so overwhelming.

"Do you need a minute alone?" Caitlin asked, actually sounding concerned.

"Ronnie wanted me to tell you he loves you." Was all I could say. It was his last request...that makes it okay, right? A hurt expression crossed her face before she excused herself and left.

"I should go call Savannah," Cisco said after several moments of silence.

"Can you just...update me on everything?"
