As I said I have a lot of ideas brewing and this was a major part of it! I'm so grateful for all the reviews and I hope I didn't lose many of you because of the hiatus!
I woke up in a chair with my hands bound. Cisco was in front of me, being harassed by the man who had knocked us out. "Just rebuild the guns and we'll let you and your little girlfriend go home safe and sound."
I feigned being unconscious and listened to what was happening. "You'll let us BOTH go. Her as well?"
I shuddered at the man's taunting voice. "The guns. Your freedom. Fair Trade?"
Cisco agreed and they led him away. I slowly looked up and looked around. There was a man in the living room looking area, probably keeping an eye on me. Though in reality he wasn't paying much attention to me. I kept looking. The house I could see was actually nicely furnished. The decor was pleasant and if I wasn't a hostage right now with a massive headache I probably would enjoy the interior. The table in front of me was in near perfect condition, not even a scuff mark. This place was well taken care of. I pursed my lips. There wasn't much of a way of escaping. Besides, Cisco. If I left who knows what would happen to me if they came back and I wasn't there. I slid my hands across the bottom of the table, feeling the smoothness of the wood. Suddenly a snag hit my finger. I gasped and jerked back to look at my finger that was now bleeding. I glanced over at the man who still didn't seem to realize I was awake. I bit my lip and looked back down at my finger. Suddenly a realization hit me. I found the snag and slowly began to use it to cut at the ropes binding my hands. It took a while. Slowly ripping at each thread on the rope. I was half way through when Cisco came back. They sat him down across from me and he kept his head down as they walked away. "Aren't they letting us go now?"
Silence.
"What's with the gun talk?"
Nothing.
"Dammit Cisco I'm freaked out what's going on!"
"I built a heat and cold gun and these guys stole them. They broke and wanted me to rebuild them."
I gasped. "They're criminals, nothing good will come from them having it! Did you..?"
"I need to keep you safe.." finally he looked up at me. "I can't let any bad happen to you.."
My chest clenched. He looked so guilty. Suddenly rage built up in me. I had to be saved. Just like the flash had to save me. I was just a damsel. I was mindlessly cutting at the threads when part of the rope finally gave out. I felt the ropes go lose and I let them slide off me to the floor.
"Everyone saves me. It's time I do something too."
Before Cisco could say anything I jumped up and grabbed the candle holder on the table. I rushed over to the man and as he turned I smashed it into his head with a sickening crack. He stumbled foreword and I used the holder to hit the back of his neck. He fell over and as I was about to use the heel of my boot to stomp on him I was knocked to the ground painfully. I saw a flash of long hair as my attacker rolled over. I was kicked in the stomach which caused me to roll over. A boot was pressed onto my chest and I started coughing. I opened to my eyes to see a large gun pointed my way. "LUCIELLE!"
"Such a pretty name. Now Cisco. How about you give up the name of the flash. We know you know him. Give it up."
I looked at Cisco in horror. "Don't..."
He looked away, anger written on his face.
"Oh? Well I guess I don't have much choice." Suddenly there was a massive burning pain on my left hand. I looked over and there was ice on my hand. "Now unless you want both hands in the same condition, I suggest you talk."
-Cisco POV-
I walked in solemnly to the labs. Standing there was Caitlin, Dr. Wells and Barry. "Cisco where have you been? Iris and I have been blowing up you and Lucy's phones for hours!"
I tried to stop my body from shaking as I entered all the way. "I'm so sorry. I had to tell them.."
They all swarmed closer. "Tell who what?"
A tear fell. "They were gonna hurt her.." I turned to face Barry. "Snart knows you're the Flash.." everyone's face turned to shock.
"They kidnapped Lucy and me. They wanted me to rebuild my heat and cold guns. Then demanded to know you're identity. Then.. Lucy.." I turned and motioned for Lucy to come in.
-Lucy POV-
I slowly walked in, amazed this place existed below where I worked for so many months. I tried to ignore the burning pain in my hand as I looked shamefully at everyone.
"They used my cold gun on her hand.." at Cisco's words Caitlin immediately ushered me to another part of the lab. She began to work on my injured hand. It was silent for a long time.
"How long have you known?"
She stopped working for a moment to look up. "Know?"
Anger boiled in me. "I'm not an idiot! This lab. Barry. THE FLASH! You all knew.."
It was quiet for a moment longer as she worked on my hand and I simmered in my frustration. "We have to keep quiet."
Suddenly I realized my mistake. Of course they did. If people knew who The flash was it would be hard for him to help like he does. I blushed. "I'm sorry.. you're right.. does Iris know?"
She shook her head and I halfheartedly laughed. "At least I wasn't the only one in the dark here."
She fastened the gauze on my hand. "I can't be too sure on the lifelong damage from the freeze to your nerves but you will still be able to use your hand."
I breathed a sigh of relief and in that moment a flood of tears ran down my face. "I tried to be strong. To stand up for myself. I didn't want to be the one who needed saving. Cisco saved me. The fl- Barry saved me. I failed.."
Caitlin put her hand on my arm in comfort. "You're alive. That's what matters. Now come on, I know Cisco is worried sick about you."
I nodded and we walked back out. Cisco immediately walked over to me and he hugged me tight. Fresh tears fell down my cheeks as I held tighter onto him. After a moment we pulled away and I looked over at Barry. "So now I know who saved me back at the Pharmacy. Barry, or should I say The Flaaaaash, thank you.." He came up and hugged me.
I stepped back and looked around. "It's been a terrible evening and quite frankly being awake is just stressful in itself at this point. I'm sure with the guy knowing who Barry is, you all have a lot of things to work out. I adore all of you but I'm going home and cocooning myself in my bed for the-" My phone showed the time being 6:18 am. "-yeah wow I guess the whole day and I will see you all monday."
Dr. Wells spoke up. "You don't have to-"
I cut him off "no I am ready for a bit of normality again. I will see you all Monday." I turned and kissed Cisco. "I'm gonna catch a cab, if you'd like my phone will be on, you can come over when you're done here. I don't care to be alone long ok?"
