Chapter One: Babe
The collective screaming of people danced with explosions and crumbling cities in the background. Battle cries of warriors made sure their voices overpowered the people's fleeing footsteps, making the enemy know they were not going to back down. A few royalties stood with their warrior brethren, ready to fight for their people they were born and sworn to protect.
All but three were out in the battle. Two dragging the one away. She was being dragged away by her father and older sister to the royal families private escape pods.
The Princess screamed in anger, kicking her feet, trying to stop herself from being dragged. She demanded to be released; to join her brothers and mother in the fight.
Entering the private escape pod room, the King yanked his youngest child away from her older sister. Holding her down by her shoulders, the King stared down his daughter, their matching blue eyes challenging each other. They weren't going to back down from each other.
"You need to leave Krida" the King demanded.
"My place is here, fighting with my warriors and fighting for my people!" Krida insisted, stomping her foot.
"Your warriors are fighting and dying for you!" the King roared, his eyes glowing, "The only reason Kane is wagging this war is that he wants you."
Krida bared her teeth like a wild animal, her own eyes glowing like her father. But unlike her father, whose eyes were filled with angered determination, hers were filled with angered sadness.
She knew his words rang true. She knew her people would be safer if she left; that Kane would have n reason to destroy her planet if she wasn't on it.
The castle shook with an attack, hitting one of its strong walls.
Krida's older sisters eyes glowed purple for a few seconds before returning to their brilliant green.
"Areth says they broke through the southern wall, we have five minutes," Ari said for her twin brother.
Krida let out a feral scream kicking at a pillar in anger.
"If I leave, I can't come back?" Krida asked, scared of the answer she knew.
"I'm sorry My Fire" the King answered.
Krida let out another scream through her teeth, trying to use her vocals to stop the tears.
Ari's eyes glowed again.
"Two minutes" the older sister pulled her little sister into a tight hug, "Be safe Krida," Ari said.
Krida hugged her sister with everything she had. Taking in her sisters' voice, smell, the way they held onto each other. Looking up at Ari, she took in how her green hair glowed in the light, matching her eyes beautifully. Ari's skin was the polar opposite of Krida's and was a beautiful coco.
Turning to her father, Krida took in his features that mirrored her own: Royal blue hair, pale blue eyes, and fair skin. Her father had a full beard, and it always itched her face as a kid when they would hug.
How Krida hated how much she was going to miss that feeling.
Wrapping her arms around her father, they held each other tightly. Both lingering to see who could hold tighter. They were always in a father-daughter competition: Who could run the fastest, throw a discus the farthest, who could hold onto a Succunet longer, and now all of those are gone.
"We love you My Fire" the King whispered in his youngest ear.
Before Krida could even blink, her father opened a pod and threw her in it.
"NO!" Krida screamed as the door closed on her.
The King did everything in his power to ignore his daughters screams to be released. Her begging that she wanted to stay and fight.
"Thirty seconds" Ari warned.
The King did a quick search for habitats that were similar to their planet. Somewhere his daughter could thrive and be safe.
Five pulled up.
Closing his eyes tight, still trying to ignore his daughters scream, the King pressed on a planet, making sure his eyes never opened. He and his family will never know, that wherever his daughter went it would be a secret, and she would be safe.
Once the planet had been selected, the pod Krida was in shoot off.
The doors to the families private escape pod room blasted open, making the King slam into the wall and send Ari flying to the floor.
Flipping back on to her feet, Ari yanked her katana blades out and let out a warriors scream. Her father turned around, slowly, his eyes glowing and his hands ignited in a blue fire.
Before the two, standing in front of an army of black stone soldiers stood a man with snow white skin. Black veins criss crossed on his neck while a single black vein trailed from the back of his head, down the middle, and split into two when it reached his eyebrow ridge and stopped when they reached his black eyes; pupils as red as lava. He wore armor that looked as black as night, blood crossing here and there on it. Some of it old and some of it new.
The man's eyes scanned the room. When he saw a pod was missing, his face transformed into a hideous scowl. His glowing white teeth, sharp as daggers and his gums a horrendous black. The look making him look more like the monster he is.
"You're too late Kane, she's gone," the King said.
Ari let out a scream and slammed her katana into the control panel. Giving it a sharp twist it sparked before fading black.
"And you will never find her" the King added.
Kane's scowl increased before letting out an angered roar at the two royals. The banes of his existence at the moment, keeping him from his prize.
The army behind Kane took that as their cue to charge at Ari and her father.
The two royals let out their warrior cries and charged the army, ready to fight until their last breath.
Cisco looked at the alien woman Barry had brought last night through the plexiglass wall. His face was twisted in curiosity, and a small hint of disappointment, at the pale, blue-haired, woman. She laid in the medic bed, an I.V. in her arm, her breathing in a calmer rhythm then what she came in with. Her heart beat at a steady pace.
"You know, if all aliens look like her, I'm a little disappointed," Cisco said honestly.
Caitlin rolled her eyes at her friend, a small smile gracing her lips.
"And what, exactly, did you expect?" Wells asked, not looking up from the computer screen.
He and Barry were trying to figure out where the alien had originally come from. It was easy, up until they couldn't figure out which planet she had to pass first to get where she landed.
"I don't know" Cisco answered, tilting his head this way and that, "But not a babe like her."
Barry snorted back a laugh, while Caitlin covered hers by biting her bottom lip. Wells gave Cisco's back an exasperated look before returning his attention back to the screen.
Why did he think he would get a decent answer from the young Metahuman?
Wells glanced at Cisco's back again and bite the inside of his cheek to keep himself from smiling.
But then again, that's one of the great things about Cisco. Not that THE Harrison Wells would admit out loud.
"Anything about her physiology that you can give us Ms. Snow?" Wells asked.
His patience was running thin with tracking where the alien had originated from.
He already had to deal with Zoom, and now this alien landed in his lap? It's like both Earth's were against him these last weeks. Is it too much to ask for some kind of a break?
"Nothing too out of the ordinary" Caitlin said, standing up and striding to the big screens.
X-Rays of the alien woman appeared on the screen. One showing her skeletal system, the other her organ system.
"As you can see, everything is pretty similar to ours: Organs in the same spot, the skeletal layout is the same" Caitlin said.
"But?" Barry asked.
"Her heart and lungs are twice the normal sizes," Caitlin said, zooming in on the heart muscle, "And her bones," tapping on one of the ribs, it's zoomed in with numbers popping up next to it, "They're five times thicker than ours."
"What does all this mean?" Barry asked.
"She's strong," Wells said, "Very strong."
"What would cause all of this?" Barry asked.
"Honestly, I don't know, I would just be guessing," Caitlin said with a shrug of her shoulders.
Cisco turned his attention back to the unconscious alien. His eyebrows shot up in surprise, seeing the woman start to shift in the medic bed.
"Guy's," Cisco informed the group, "I think she's waking up."
The long-haired man walked around the plexiglass wall and over to the bed. Caitlin not that far behind.
The woman blinked her blue eyes open, doing her best to clear the fog that had collected in her brain. Two unfamiliar faces coming into her line of sight, she quickly sat up and scooted away as best as she could.
"No, no, no," Cisco said quickly, him and Caitlin raising their hands, "We're friendly."
The woman seemed to ignore, or didn't care for, Cisco's words and started looking around the medic room.
Her eyes took everything in. Looking for an escape route and how to get to it. Looking back to Cisco and Caitlin, she looked over the two, taking in their physique. With how untrained in fighting they looked, maybe it was best to just sit and wait.
Wells and Barry watched the three from behind the plexiglass. Cisco was trying to calm down the woman, while Caitlin stood by, waiting for the right time to examine the alien.
"Do you think she's friendly?" Barry asked.
Wells gave Barry a sideways look.
The speedster in return gave what could only be called an 'oops' smile. Barry seemed to forget that, anything not from Earth One, is a threat until proven otherwise by Harrison Wells.
"Do you want to know what I think?" Wells stated, "I think we need to figure out where she came from, and send her back."
Turning to head back to the computers, the security alarms went off. Red flashing lights warning the team that an intruder got into S.T.A.R. labs.
Caitlin and Cisco turned their attention to Wells and Barry. The two searched the security cameras for who may have broken in.
"Tat si gueng nu?" the alien said, her eyes going wide and looking around everywhere frantically.
Cisco turned his attention to her, not understand, but hearing the panic in her voice.
"Hey, hey, it's gonna be ok," Cisco said, gently laying a hand on the woman's pale one.
Her metal ring, with a ring stone, was cold against Cisco's palm. The metal in contrast to the alien's warm skin.
Her pale blue eyes looked over to him. She obviously couldn't understand a word he said.
"Everything is going to be ok" Cisco repeated slowly, trying his best to calm the alien.
Her tense muscles slowly relaxed; her panicked breathing and eyes calming down. She even let the corners of her mouth turn upward.
"Ramone, we could use your help!" Wells' voice demanded.
"Gotta go," Cisco said.
Letting go of the alien's hand Cisco started a quick walk to the computers.
Caitlin looked over at her patient and watched as she examined her hand. Her eyebrows were knitted together, confused, as she turned her hand around. As if she was looking for something new.
Had she ever experienced concern like that? Caitlin couldn't help but wonder.
It's true what Wells had said when they saw the aliens charts. She was strong, her insides built for long runs and taking strong hits.
Caitlin did a quick look, up and down, of the aline's outsides.
The examination, with eyes, increased her theory of being strong. Her arms and shoulders were cut with muscles that suit her figure.
The rest of Caitlin's visual examination was cut short at the sound of Cisco's surprised yell. Followed by a loud 'thud'.
Looking over her shoulder, the Doctor gasped at the creature that finished materializing in the center of the computer room.
It stood tall, at least nine feet. Its skin was black rock, cracks of white making cuts in its body, looking like muscles tissue. It wore a simple loincloth of brown leather, and eyes so read they glowed.
The rock creature scanned the room slowly, taking its surrounding in.
Barry and Wells stood still, not risking any movement to cause the monster in front of them to attack. Cisco sat on the floor, looking up at the rock creature terrified and in awe.
Now that's why he thought of when he was hoping to meet an alien. As that thought made its way through his brain, he realized he preferred the one in the medic bed.
"Famine" the menacing hiss from the laine made Caitlin's skin crawl.
Looking to the alien, Caitlin jumped at the sight of her eyes glowing.
So fixed with her eye's, Caitlin barely noticed the alien woman yank the I.V. out; until the aline threw herself off the bed.
"Famine!" the aline's voice barked out as she slowly made her way out to The Cortex.
The rock creature turned its gaze over to the woman. A cracked smirk, showing red teeth, spread across its face.
"Krida, Rencissp uf Gaiala" the creature seemed to purr in the same language as the woman, "Ym Engk elw ib us apyh ut nuwk eret uy rae."
"Ut dab uy twn tig ut hem" the alien spat.
The rock creature stomped its feet and let out a tremendous roar.
The alien woman crouched low and let out her own, feral, scream.
Pulling another curved knife out from a different hidden pocket, the aline charged at the mass of rock. Leaping over Cisco; what looked like blue fire danced on her feet.
The long-haired genius couldn't help but think of how extra cool that had looked.
Slicing down at the creature, it blocked with its rock arms before throwing jab's of its own at the alien.
The way she dogged and jumped away from the massive rock was almost beautiful in a way. She twisted and turned, throwing in her own powerful kicks; sometimes slicing with her knife.
The only reason it was known her kicks were powerful was that chunks of rock would fly off the creature.
Flipping the knife back into its proper pocket, next to her thigh, the alien woman flipped backward, onto her hands. With a graceful twist, she was able to send two kicks across the rock creatures face and flipped back to her feet.
The mass of rock let out an angered roar and lifted its massive fists into the air.
The aline looked up shocked and in a split second, she brought her arms up to protect herself as best she could. Blue fire wrapped around her arms in protections just in time for the rock creatures fist to land on her in a painful blow.
His hit was strong enough that when her back made contact with the ground, cracks formed underneath her.
"Cisco get out!" Caitlin yelled at her friend terrified.
Tilting her head back, the aline watched as Cisco started scooting back. He was too scared to stand, his legs would have probably collapsed underneath him. So he had to use his hands and feet.
Seeing the fear in CIsco's eyes kick-started something in the alien's heart. A feeling of protection she didn't know she would ever feel ever again.
Turning her eyes back to the rock creature, her blue eyes glared up at him, determination glowing in them.
Raising its massive arms in the air, it brought them back down and the alien quickly ignited her body in the blue fire.
His arms slamming into her body, she ignored the pain in her stomach and wrapped her arms and legs around the creatures arms.
Bringing his arms back up, the mass of rock tried shaking the alien off, but she was relentless. The harder he swung, the tighter her grip became.
The second she was close to his head, she twisted her body off his arms and wrapped her thighs around its small neck.
"Tays ne Inferno wew ury Engk eret uy elungb" the alien growled, collecting all of her blue fire into her hands.
One hand going under his chin, the other wrapped around his forehead; with a tremendous warrior cry, she gave a powerful twist and pulled up. Successfully ripping off the rock creatures giant head.
Unwrapping her thighs from the, now dead, creatures shoulders, the alien landed on her feet as its body fell forward.
Her breathing coming in and out in angry, exhausted, huffs, the alien looked down at the rock creatures head. Anger crawled back into her heart, making the blue fire grow more.
With one hand on either side, she started compressing the head into nothing but pebbles.
Looking around at each of the four humans with calculating eyes, she took in their terrified gazes. They were scared of her, something she didn't want.
They had saved her from possible death, and were even tending to her; to help her restore her strength.
Taking a deep breath and letting it out slowly, the alien's blue flames slowly extinguished.
"That, was, awesome!" Cisco shouted.
Barry covered his smile with his hands while Wells and Caitlin gave the man crossed looks. Wells was annoyed while Caitlin looked like she couldn't believe she was friends with him sometimes.
The alien woman looked over to Cisco, and couldn't help the small turn up of her lips when she saw his wide smile.
Making her way over to him, the alien woman held her hand out to Cisco. The Metahuman gratefully took the hand, allowing the woman to help him up.
Cisco was a little surprised to see that he was a couple inches taller than the warrior alien. So used to having to look up at most woman because they were either taller than him, or refused to wear anything but heels.
"So, uh, what do we call you anyway?" Cisco asked.
The alien woman's blue eyebrows turned downward in confusion, her eyes searching his for a moment.
"This is going to be hard if she doesn't speak-"
Cisco's words were cut short when the alien woman grabbed the sides of his face and pressed her lips onto his.
Caitlins eyes blinked wide in shock; Barry and Wells looked like they had just seen Cisco grow two more heads. Barry looking more confused about the whole thing while Wells looked disgusted and annoyed.
The alien pulled away from Cisco and smiled at his shocked face.
"Sorry for the forwardness," the alien said in the English language, "The way my people learn another language is by the lip to lip contact."
"H-Happy to help, any time" Cisco stuttered and she giggled at him.
Looking from Cisco to Barry and Wells; over to Caitlin, the alien turned her look back to Cisco.
"My name is Krida, and I think I have a lot to explain," the alien said.
