"Mr Allen, Detective West, you need to go home, get some rest." He watched them from the doorway, a look of pity in his eyes.
"No," Barry answered, shaking his head. "That's my sister."
"I am acutely aware of that," Wells answered. "She was thrown from the seventeenth story of a building-every bone in her body broken, organs ruptured, her lungs were shredded. Your sister is safe in the tank. It's going to take a while but she'll heal."
"I have to call Felicity and let her know we won't make the engagement party," Barry sighed. "I can't leave Charlie here like this."
"If Charlie is anything like you, I'd keep your weekend plans," Cisco joked.
"Between Charlotte, you and Iris," Joe spoke up, his voice wracked with nerves, "I'm going to be an old man before I know it. She should have died."
"Yes she should have," Caitlin answered. "And so should Barry but their bodies are a playground of unknown possibilities. The human body is 70% water."
"I don't like seeing her like this," Barry answered. "I sort of understand why Charlie left in the first place. Did anyone get her phone?"
"Yeah, why?" Cisco asked.
Barry sighed. "I have to call her boyfriend."
"Charlotte has a boyfriend?" Joe snapped.
"Yeah you're gonna love him," Barry snorted. "His rap sheet is as long as the Oxford Dictionary."
"Snart?" Joe grumbled. "Bloody hell. Girl becomes a hero and she still manages to date a no hoping looser."
Hey!
"Um-I think she heard you," Cisco frowned. "Say something again, Detective."
"Like what?" Joe asked.
"The no hoping looser part," Caitlin suggested.
Excuse me?"
"Oh there is definitely brain activity," Wells answered. "Caitlin prepare Miss Allen for another MRI and CAT scan. I want to check her brain and see how it's healing. Like you both did with Mr Allen perhaps Cisco could look at
"That's why I brought these," Barry answered.
"Coming to you live, the soothing sounds of Lindsey Stirling," Cisco joked.
"Touch my feet with that thing and I will drown you where you stand," I hissed at Caitlin, surprising her.
"DOCTOR WELLS!" Caitlin shouted, completely ignoring me as I struggled to sit up on the bench I was dripping wet on. "DOCTOR WELLS!" She turned back to me and started checking my vitals. "This is completely impossible-you were broken. I need to take samples of your blood. Can you pee in a cup?"
I brushed her aside. "I'm a quick healer," I told her. I looked at the date on the wall, "it's Thursday?" I frowned. I went to slip off the bench but Caitlin pushed me back on. "Hey I feel fine!" I objected.
"Nice to see you up and about Miss Allen," Wells smiled, coming into the room with Cisco. "But Doctor Snow is correct in assuming that we need to take samples of your blood."
I stuck my arm out to her. "Fine."
Caitlin hadn't even crossed the room when Barry arrived, Tessa practically attached to his side. She ran her hands through her hair once he put her down and proceeded to punch him in the arm. "Grab me like that again and I'm not sure which spouse I'll set on you!" she hissed.
Barry rubbed his arm before her hugged me. "You had me worried there for a while."
"Two days!" I exclaimed.
"Miss Allen," Wells spoke up, "you were thrown from the seventeenth story of a building-every bone in your body broken, organs ruptured, your lungs were shredded. You should have died. What happened?"
"Tell us what happened?" Barry asked me.
I paused.
"You are not using my office as a love nest," Casey hissed, getting up from her desk.
I pulled my jacket off just as the door exploded inwards. "You picked the wrong girl to mess with," I snapped. I slammed my hand down on my watch, my suit taking over my body. "You'll pay for murdering my mother," I warned him.
The yellow blur that was the Reverse Flash shot towards me and hit me head on. I felt my feet leave the floor and my body smash through the window of the seventeenth story of the building.
"CHARLIE!" Casey and Jess shouted.
It's funny, I've never been one for flying but for a second there I felt weightless just before my body hit the ground below…
"He threw me out of a window," I answered. "Casey and Jess-" I stopped. "Wait-I changed in front of them!"
Barry looked sideways at Well making the pit in the bottom of my stomach worse. "Charlie-"
"Where are Casey and Jess?" I asked.
Caitlin sighed. "Don't beat around the bush, you'll only piss her off."
"He killed them," Barry sighed. "The Reverse Flash killed Casey and Jess. Joe's been working the crime scene. River helped cover it up, Tessa glamoured everyone to forget you were even there that day."
"Oh that's not all," Tessa spoke, seeing the stunned, hurt look on my face. "Tell her, Barry."
Barry sighed. "He's faster than me."
"Why did he kill Casey and Jess?" I whispered. "They never did anything-they-" I stopped myself and suddenly burst into tears. Casey was a bitch, a complete, utter bitch but she knew her job. And Jess…well we could have been something in another universe. After the date, Jess walked me to my apartment door and kissed my cheek softly before leaving me. As the elevator doors closed he gave me the thumbs up and I dissolved in a fit of giggles.
Oh it was fantastic. No bars, no crime fighting, no questionable morals just a movie and dinner with lots of laughter. "I want to kill him Barry. I want to kill him."
Tessa wrapped her arms around me and kissed my head. "You will." She looked sideways at the team and nodded for them to get out. Which they did. I think that they were afraid of her, afraid of the unknown that Tessa Morgan presented because she was a magician, a witch, not a science project like Barry and I were. "We brought you some clothes, figured you'd want to go back home. Not stay here."
"Yes," I answered. My body still felt considerably weak-like after the first time I used my powers on purpose. Bits of my skin had an opaqueness about it, my left hand was completely transparent and I could see the muscle and the bone underneath. I stood up on shaky legs and cleared my throat. "You said he was faster than you?" I asked him.
Barry nodded slowly. "I was trying so hard but he just taunted me."
"It looks like you both need to start training again," Tessa warned us. "I think this weekend away will be perfect for that."
Barry sighed.
"Barry I want the case file on Casey and Jess," I told him. "I owe them that much." When he didn't answer, it became apparent that my brother was hiding something from me-what it was I guess I needed to find out.
