Kendra was not aware of the panicked voices voices of her co-workers around her. She wasn't aware of them lifting the injured wolf off of her. In fact, she wasn't aware of anything.
As she was rushed to the hospital in the ambulance, they struggled to get her stabilized. She had fractured her skull, her ribs had been broken from the impact of Sitka, and she was already losing so much blood from the several bites along her arm. When they got to the hospital, she was immediately rushed to the trauma care unit and was put into a medically induced coma in hopes of calming the swelling of the brain.
After being stabilized, Stitched up, poked prodded, and x-rayed; the doctors put her in the same recovery room as her brother, per Iris and Joe West's request. There they sat for four days, mourning the fact that they had lost two family members in one hellish night, both in a coma.
About a week later, when the swelling in Kendra's brain has decreased dramatically, they took her off of the I.V. that had induced her coma, and said that within a few hours she would wake up. But those hours had turned into days, and weeks, and soon... both Barry and Kendra had been in a coma for 2 months.
Barry had begun flatlining, and Kendra had remained neutral. Joe and Iris thought that they were going to lose both of them. Until doctor Harrison Wells came.
When he saw the now infamous doctor come towards him in the hospital, Joe almost couldn't control his anger. Rage spilled though his body from seeing the man who had caused him so much pain, here.
Joe stood up and looked down upon the once brilliant scientist who was now confined to a wheelchair.
"What the hell do you want?" Joe asked, practically bristling at the man.
Harrison took off his glasses and sighed tiredly. It was obvious that he had started growing accustomed to these sorts of greetings.
"Detective West, I know I have caused you a lot of trouble. I know that what I have done here has been unforgivable. But please, let me try to help these two." Wells pleaded, "S.T.A.R. Labs has a state of the art medical bay, and enough generators to where the power won't keep going out."
Joe eyed him with suspicion, trying to look for some flaw in Wells' plan. Iris however stood up from her chair and marched over to Harrison.
"You can help them?" Iris asked desperately.
Harrison's blue eyes stared back at Iris and nodded.
"We will work with them however long it takes." He promised.
"Then, yes! Please help them." Iris pleaded.
Harrison nodded and wheeled away to get everything settled with the hospital.
"Iris, are you sure about this?" Joe questioned, "He's the man who caused this."
She stared at the man in question who was talking to a nurse down the hallway.
"Then he is probably the only man who can fix it."
~~~~~~~~~~~ 9 months later ~~~~~~~~~~~
"He's been awake for days now." A male voice spoke out.
"Yes, but she suffered more trauma to the brain than he did. Not to mention blood loss." Said a female voice.
Kendra's body felt sore. But not sore from the bite like she thought she would. She felt bed sore.
"Guys, her eyes are starting to move" Barry's voice sounded.
Groaning, Kendra tried opening her eyes, but they just felt so heavy.
"Barry?" She barely whispered, voice cracking and dry.
"Kendra?!" She felt pressure on her hand.
Struggling again, she finally opened her eyes, but immediately shut them. It was so bright. She did this several more times, each time keeping them open for longer.
"Kendra, it's okay just take your time." Her brother's voice calmly told her.
Struggling a little more, she opened her eyes, which, after a minute, were finally able to focus on that brown mop of hair standing over her.
"Get her some water," the female voice said again. Suddenly, flash of red hair appeared in front of Kendra, then a bright light was flashing in her eyes.
"I'll get it!" Barry said.
"Cisco, let Doctor Wells know that Kendra is awake now." The woman said as she now was swabbing Kendra's mouth.
Barry was back with a water cup and handed it to his sister.
"Do you need help sitting up?" He asked kindly.
She shook her head, she was strong enough to lift her self. Stubbornly she forced herself to an upright position, and she could feel the bed behind her do the same.
"Drink up." The woman said.
Kendra didn't want to argue, she was so thirsty.
"Welcome back Miss Allen." A familiar voice called out.
As she faced forwards, she saw Harrison Wells, wheelchair bound, but smiling at her.
"Doctor Wells." She breathed out. She had always dreamed of meeting this man and talking to him about many theories, but not like this. Not in a hospital bed.
Speaking of which, as Kendra took in her surroundings, she noticed wherever she was didn't look very hospital-like at all.
Turning to Barry she asked "Where are we?"
He smiled and opened his mouth to say something, but was cut off by the nurse on her right.
"We are at S.T.A.R. Labs." She said, very unenthusiastically.
Kendra turned to her brother wide eyed to make sure this was true. Barry just smiled and nodded.
"How are you feeling today Miss Allen?" Doctor Wells asked politely.
"Nothing strange right?" The woman asked.
"Completely normal?" Barry also interrogated.
"Um..." this was so overwhelming for Kendra, "I think I feel normal. Just sore. How long was I out?" She turned to the nurse. Everyone in the room had gone silent, with solemn looks on their faces.
"Kendra..." Barry started, taking her hand in his, "We have both been in a coma for nine months."
Her heart stopped. Nine months?! She had been brain dead to the world for that long? Both of them were in a coma? What happened?
"Well, nine months and thirteen days for you" another male voice came from a Hispanic man walking towards her.
"Cisco, I don't think that's helping." Wells lectured.
"Sorry." Cisco apologized.
"Kendra, I know this is a lot to take in right now," Harrison said, "But let's run some tests on you and then we can get you up to speed in what has happened."
Kendra numbly nodded her head as she focused on nothing in particular. She was in shock, and for most of the exams the woman was doing on her, she was pretty much running on auto pilot.
"Looks like you are doing great Kendra," the woman smiled empathetically at her.
Kendra just nodded again. Still numb still trying to wrap her mind around the nine months of her life she had lost. She barely felt Barry put his hand on her shoulder.
"Hey, sis, let's go for a small walk." He said kindly.
Wells seemed to like this, "Yes, go for a brief walk Miss Allen, I know this must be a lot to take in. Some fresh air would be good."
Nodding once more, she put her hand on Barry's shoulder, and had him help her stand. It was surprisingly easier than she had thought, and as she looked down at her legs, her muscles hadn't atrophied at all... in fact, it looked as though her legs had gotten stronger; but she just attributed it to the technology at the labs.
As they walked to the exit doors, Kendra could help but notice Barry staring at her.
"Is there something wrong Barry?" She asked.
He shook his head, "No, just making sure you are okay. Are you sure you are feeling okay?"
"This is all just so much to take in." She said quietly.
Barry nodded in understanding. And pushed open the doors to the outside world.
After an hour of Barry talking about how he was put into a coma, what happened with S.T.A.R. Labs, how Joe and Iris were doing, and who the people in the lab were; Barry and Kendra sat on a bench in the park quietly while the former took in this information.
As they sat in the park, a flock of pigeons was startled by a young boy chasing them. Kendra's vision focused in on the pigeon, and she couldn't hear any other noise from the city but the beating of the wings and scared 'coos' coming off the birds.
"Kendra?" Barry asked, he had his hand on her shoulder. "Are you alright?"
Kendra shook it off and turned to look at her brother. Worry across his face.
"Are you sure? You zoned out there pretty hard. Maybe we should get you back to the labs." He tried.
That was the last thing she wanted right now, she just wanted some sense of normalcy.
"No, no, I'm okay I promise." She said, smiling encouragingly to her brother. "Can we just stay out here for a little longer? I want to feel as normal as possible before heading back."
Barry nodded. Both siblings got up from the bench and just walked around the other side of the park, but then the wind blew, and Kendra smelled fire, and smoke.
"Barry, do you smell that?" Kendra asked.
He looked at her confused, before he put a finger to his ear like he was listening to something.
He then looked at me apologetically. "I promise I will explain this when I get back."
Again, Kendra could feel her vision narrow in on Barry as, what looked like lightening, envelopes him, and he took off faster than her sight could keep up.
Kendra's heart began to race. That lightening, that was the same as the night when her mother died. Flashbacks we flowing through her mind as she remembered looking at her moms lifeless face, her dad being taken away, all the times Joe and her had an argument because he thought what they saw wasn't real.
It was all becoming way too much. Kendra was starting to panic. As she was looking around, her vision was hyper focused on everything that moved, she could hear everything including the breathing of a jogger across the street. She could smell everything that was in a cheese burger a man on an opposite bench.
Being overwhelmed with the thoughts, the smells, sounds, and sights, Kendra ran. She ran as far as she could, not really knowing where she was going, but she needed to escape.
What Kendra didn't realize, is that she was running 35 miles an hour, and she was picking up speed. But what Kendra did notice, because it would have been impossible not to, is that her body was changing. She quickly got out of sight and she started feeling her bones contorting. She was panicking more which made it feel like whatever was happening to her was picking up speed. Fur was growing from her, the same color as her auburn hair. Her bones shifting, painfully at that. Her screams turned into growls and whimpers. When the pain became too much, she had passed out.
~~~~~~~~~~~~Harrison Wells~~~~~~~~~~~~
The tracker he had Caitlin place in Kendra was working. They had all agreed that they needed to monitor her after what had happened with Barry.
They had noticed a huge spike in her heart rate suddenly, and then saw her running, not as fast as Barry, but far past what a regular human could. The map showed that she had come to a stop in an alley, and then her heart rate increased even more for a few minutes before slowing down once more.
"Cisco, get the van, we need to make sure she is okay." Wells directed, "Snow, stay here and let us know of any changes that happen."
As they both nodded, Harrison followed Cisco to the van. When they got in and began driving the five minutes it would take to get there, Harrison was barely containing his excitement.
While his overall goal was to get back home, he would be lying if he said that he didn't have big plans for Kendra Allen, and now, it was all beginning.
When the got to the alley, they did not find a girl, they found a massive, auburn wolf with golden eyes staring back at them, not aggressively. But confused.
'What's happening to me?' The voice of Kendra sounded in their minds, and from what it sounded like to Harrison, she was crying.
"It's okay Miss Allen, let's get you to S.T.A.R. Labs and we can help you there." Wells tried to reassure her.
The eight foot tall wolf looked at him and nodded, before her ears twitched and her eyes locked on Barry, who had just caught up to them.
"Caitlin told me something happened, I came as fast as I-" Barry cut off from talking to Harrison as his eyes finally met the wolf in front of him.
"Mister Allen, would you mind taking your sister back to the labs so we can help her figure out what is going on?" Wells asked.
Barry just stared at the wolf. "Kendra?" He asked.
She gave a short nod, but didn't say anything.
"We will meet you two at the Labs." Wells said and wheeled into the van with Cisco.
As soon as they were on the road Cisco Ramon couldn't contain himself from the excitement.
"That was some serious Twilight stuff going on there!"
Harrison just nodded. His plan was finally paying off.
