Author's note!
Hey everyone, sorry this is so late. I've been having to rewatch the first season to refresh my memory on how the first Harrison Wells was. I want to make sure that these characters are as close to how they would actually act a step possible. I also don't want to to follow the script word for word like I have seen many stories do. I want this to be as good as possible.
Also, sorry I am morning responding personally to each review, but just know, I have loved each and every one of them. I can't wait for you all to find out what Wells has in store for Kendra Allen.
Anywho, ENJOY!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Barry~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
'Barry,' Kendra's pleading voice rang in Barry's mind, 'I'm scared.'
He couldn't think of what to do or what to say. He knew that something could have happened to his sister, but not this. He needed to get her back to the labs. That was the only way they can hopefully find what was going on.
Walking up to her, Barry hugged the muzzle of his sister. While awkward, it seemed like just what Kendra needed, as her wolf body began to shake, almost like she was sobbing.
"Hey, I know this is so much to take in, I know you are scared. But I promise that everyone is going to help you figure this out."
'But what if I am stuck like this forever?'
"I promise, Kendra, we will make sure you are not stuck like this forever."
Kendra must have been reassured by his touch and voice, because soon the shaking had stopped. Letting go of her muzzle, Barry looked into the golden eyes that belonged to his sister.
"Let's get you to S.T.A.R. Labs, they will be able to help." Barry said in a soothing voice, "We will probably have to stick to the alleys, I'm not so sure any one has seen an eight foot wolf before."
Kendra exhaled in what sounded very much like a chuckle, and Barry smiled at her. They both were careful in how they moved. Not going too fast, and making sure that no one was around before they kept walking. It took a lot longer than it should have, only being 3 blocks away from the labs, but 30 minutes later they were safely inside the building.
Dr. Wells, Cisco, and Caitlin all met them at the entrance, making sure that the siblings were alright.
"Ms Allen, would you be okay if Caitlin ran a few tests on you to see how we can help you out?" Dr. Wells politely asked Kendra.
Barry looked over to see her just nod and walk off with Caitlin. Leaving him with Cisco and Dr. Wells.
"We can fix this right?" Barry asked the two.
Harrison sighed and shrugged. "I'm not sure, Barry, but whatever happens, just be there for her."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Kendra~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"That's the last of it." Caitlin said while pulling the needle out of Kendra's front leg. "Let me just run some tests on these. I promise, we are going to find a way to help you."
Kendra just nodded and Caitlin put a sample of her blood on a Petri dish and began inspecting it.
Kendra heard someone approaching and looked back to see Barry standing there.
"How is it looking so far?" He asked Caitlin.
Caitlin glanced up at Barry, and actually looked a little mad, and she looked about ready to blow as Cisco came in the glass room as well.
"Don't think that I have forgotten about that fire." She started, "I mean, have you both lost your minds? Who do you think you are?"
Kendra was so lost. She knew she had smelled a fire, but didn't know why Caitlin would be mad about it.
Cisco responded "Well, I'm the eyes and ears, and he's the feet." Pointing to Barry.
That obviously made Caitlin very upset. "This isn't funny! You could have gotten yourself killed. You can't be running around the city like some supersonic fireman."
Barry stepped in "Why not? This is what we talked about: Me using my speed to do good."
Speed? What speed? Barry is slower than Kendra when it came to running, he sure as hell was no where close to supersonic...
"We talked about you helping us contain other people who might have been affected by the particle accelerator explosion. Meta-humans. And aside from Clyde Mardon, we haven't found any." Caitlin went on.
Particle Accelerator explosion? Kendra remembered that hot wave that had found her and Sitka across the whelping room. If that had blown, who knows what the people of central city were exposed to. Were there more people like Kendra? With these supernatural abilities? Was Barry one of them? Kendra was starting to feel the panic start bubbling up again. There was so much information to take in, and it had only been an hour since she had turned.
"People in this city still need help." Barry said determinedly while Caitlin sighed, "And I can help them. We can help them. Will you please say something?" He asked looking behind Kendra.
There was Harrison Wells once more, gazing at the scene that had unraveled before him. He looked to Kendra apologetically, as if he was saying that he would explain what was happening soon.
"I think what Caitlin is saying, in her own spectacularly angry way, is that we are just beginning to understand what your body is capable of. Not to sound like a broken record, Mr. Allen...I do caution restraint." He said to Barry.
"Dr. Wells..." Barry started, "I doubt restraint is how you got to be the man you are today."
"In a wheelchair and a pariah. "Lack of restraint is what made me these things. Know your limits Barry. I also think it is about time that we explained to your sister what is going on." Wells said, glancing back to Kendra's confused golden eyes.
Everyone in the room looked a bit embarrassed that they hadn't even thought about how confusing this all must have been for Kendra. Barry rubbed the back of his head abashedly and walked towards his sister.
"Hey, I'm sorry about that... let me explain." Barry started
"I think," Dr wells cut in, "it might be better if we just showed her. Let's go to the track."
Kendra looked back to Caitlin worriedly, but as if she read her mind Caitlin assured her;
"Don't worry I will keep working on this, I should have some results when you get back."
'Thank you' Kendra mentally told the red headed doctor.
"Shall we?" Dr Wells asked and he started to wheel forward.
Kendra and Barry followed the scientist down a ramp and into a room that had what looked like a simple treadmill.
Kendra glanced skeptically at Dr Wells who just smiled and encouraged her to watch.
As soon as Barry stepped on the treadmill and started running, lightening was flowing behind him, just like what she had saw before she had turned into this wolf, just like she had seen before her mother died.
Kendra felt something touch her leg, to see that Dr Wells had put his hand on her and was soothingly stroking her fur. As soon as she took notice though, his had had pulled away.
"You were shaking." Was all he offered as he kept watching Barry.
Kendra was about to say thank you before Barry came zooming out of the treadmill room.
"Ta-da" he said, smiling and holding out his arms and bowed.
Kendra stared at Barry 'How did this happen?' She asked after a few seconds.
"I will leave you to explain that Mr Allen. I am going to help Caitlin and Cisco out." Dr Wells said before wheeling out.
"Well, the night of the explosion, I was hit by lightening..."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Harrison~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Stopping in the middle of the hallway, Harrison looked around before opening his time-vault. Once in there he took off his glasses and after rubbing his face tiredly for a few brief seconds threw them to the floor.
He was angry, but only at himself. He had a plan for Kendra, and that plan was not to coddle her when she was scared. It was to make her stronger, just like he was doing for Barry.
Harrison stood up from his wheelchair and activated the hologram of the newspaper article. Helping him regain his purpose from the two headlines that read on the projection. Nodding at the new conviction he felt, he picked up the glasses from the floor and got back into his wheelchair.
As he headed out and made his way up to the lab where Caitlin and Cisco were he saw that they were discussing something amongst themselves.
"The DNA has both animal and human, but the strands themselves seem a bit... not unstable, but that's the only word I can think of using." Caitlin said eyeing the monitor with Kendra's samples on there.
"It looks like it's stable, but almost like it's able to morph, like it's loosely held together." Cisco said "But that's impossible."
"We've started to see a great number of impossible things lately Cisco." Harrison jumped in, "I think, since the DNA appears to have the capability of shifting she might be able to transform back into a human."
'Really?!' Kendra's voice rang in all their minds as her and Barry were walking up from their discussion.
"It's definitely possible," Caitlin said "We just need to figure out how to get you to shift back."
"I would start with brain scans and work from there," Harrison advised Caitlin, "seeing as how a panicked state made her turn, it might be a psychological trigger."
Caitlin nodded and asked Kendra to follow her to the lab.
"Oh Barry!" Cisco started as the two women were walking away, "are you feeling okay? I noticed some weird feedback on your telemetry while you were out."
Harrison looked at the man in question with some concern, but Barry just shook his head.
"Nope, I've never been better." He smiled at the two of them.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Kendra~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"We have a problem," Caitlin started "I don't know how we are going to do any scans, your body is too big for the machines."
Kendra couldn't help but let out a sigh, that turned into more of a whimper in her current form.
"It's okay! Let me just talk to Cisco really quick and see if he can rig something up super quick to help us out." Caitlin said, sounding as desperate as Kendra felt.
Kendra nodded and stayed put in the glass room trying to calm down. As she sat there she heard Barry come in, humming a song that her mom used to sing to her when she had nightmares. Turning to look at her brother Kendra started to feel her tense muscles relax and her mind finally start to unwind from all of the tension she had been in.
Kendra had closed her eyes the more relaxed she had gotten and didn't even notice the rest of the S.T.A.R. labs team walk in. She got a tingling feeling similar to that of goosebumps as Barry continued to hum.
"Oh my gosh!" Caitlin exclaimed in a panic.
Kendra's eyes snapped open, and there she was... a human. A very naked human in front of everyone.
