(Quake POV)
After Barry explained his plan, Jesse and Barry got ready to fight the couple, I decided to not join them. I was still getting use to all this superhero-y stuff since, before I came here I was trying not to be associated with SHIELD, the same as running.
"You ready Barry," Cisco asked Barry when he walked into the cortex.
"Yup."
My eyes then looked at Harry talking to Jesse, telling her what to do and what not to do, emphasizing on not to get hurt. She nodded her head in reply. He then made an agreeing sound before she walked to Barry to get ready.
"You ready for this, Jesse Quick," Barry told her.
"As ready as I'll ever be, Flash," she replied smiling. Then they both sped off.
After their fight, which involved a hologram, they came back to S.T.A.R Labs tired but happy.
"We did it!" Jesse exclaimed happily.
"Good job, Jesse," Barry complemented, patting her on the back, "Now we can put Mirror Master and Top back in prison."
"Where they belong," Cisco finished.
"Cool, I'm gonna go home to crash, let me know when there's trouble," I told them and left for my hotel room.
As soon as I walked through the door, I sighed and flopped on the bed.
It's tough being involved in action, I thought. That thought reminded me of the good old days of SHIELD and the older days of living in my van. I wish I could go back to my old life, where everything was simple, when my name was Skye, when I wasn't an Inhuman. But if I didn't live this life then I wouldn't have done amazing things, met amazing people and had an interesting life. But I also…
I cut off my thoughts and got ready for bed.
As I slept, I kept tossing and turning in the night. My dreams were going down a dark path. Flashes of my friends' deaths, destruction that I've caused, other people kidnapping me and torturing me for information about Inhumans, and most hauntingly, everyone abandoning me leaving me behind in my pain and suffering.
"No one cares about you anymore."
I woke up in a cold sweat and looked around hurriedly, before realising that it was only a nightmare. I sigh heavily and decided that after the horrors of my brain, I shouldn't try to sleep so soon, so I got out of bed and went to the window. The moon was bright and full which lit up the city nicely. After looking at the moon's position, I concluded that the sun will rise in a few hours. I glanced at my clock and it read 3:30 am in bright red. I was right. Just before I went to bed, I saw a purple-ish light flash quickly before leaving a man behind. From my view, the man looked very confused and kept glancing over his shoulder as if something would jump up behind him. I didn't make much of it as I assumed that Central City was a city with weird things like that, and just went to bed. I ended having a dreamless night.
(Barry Allen/ Flash POV)
I walked kind of hurriedly to work, to get away from the whole HR incident, and to hope that I would make it there in time. I was wrong, unfortunately. So I went up to Captain Singh's office and noticed that Julian was waiting there as well. After a while of them complaining that I wasn't doing my job properly and that I violated 9 things. I was excused by the Captain and given another chance. I sighed and opened the door to let Julian leave. He gave me a cold look and continued walking. I cut him off and gave Julian a piece of my mind,
"Are you seriously being the one feeding my situation and making it worse?" I questioned him, very annoyed. I wish that I could have told him what I was doing while being away.
"No Allen, I'm just making everyone else aware of how large your situation is," he replied and walked away, making sure to greet Joe as the detective approached me. I complained about Julian to Joe once he left.
"I wish you guys would be a bit better with each other now but that's not happening, it's been a year now," Joe told me.
"Well, to Julian it's been a year, for me it's been two weeks," I reminded Joe.
"So you're saying that you weren't Julian's enemy two weeks ago?"
"I'm saying that Julian wasn't even here two weeks ago."
"Oh yeah, it's because of your Flashpoint," Joe replied as my phone buzzed.
"I know, it's because of Flashpoint that everything happening," I said and pulled out my phone. It was Cisco calling.
"Hey, is it important?" I asked him.
"Well, I think it is, there's 30 hits on the metahuman app counter downtown?" he replied.
"So, what is it, what are we looking at?"
"I'm not sure, all the traffic cams in a ten-block radius went out, so we're flying blind on this."
"I guess there's one way to find out," I told him, hinting that I would speed over there. I told Joe and raced to the scene.
(Quake POV)
I got a message from Cisco that Barry was dealing with an unknown metahuman thing and that I could come to STAR Labs if I wanted to help. I was definitely planning to but I wasn't sure if I should bring up what I saw last night so I decided that I would tell them if it came up in conversation, and got ready to leave. I got a taxi to take me there and it took a little while before I arrived at the lab. I noticed that no one was waiting for me, so I assumed that they were inside, and walked in. The first thing that I noticed was the lack of people in the cortex, all I saw was Cisco, who seemed slightly stressed, and Harry.
"Hi Cisco, Harry," I said as I walked in.
Harry seemed to be really confused with my introduction.
"Um…" Cisco said pausing for a bit, until he had a sense of realisation, "Did we forgot to tell you?"
"What?" I asked.
"This isn't Harry, this is HR."
