A gust of wind blew through Iris's face, as she admired the man sitting inside CC Jitters. She knew that she had seen him before, but was unsure due to time.
So, she stepped inside, and walked beside the man sitting there, who was enjoying his cup of Flash.
"Hi," Iris greeted.
"Ahh... Hello?" the man spoke.
"You look hot... I mean familiar. Do I know you?" Iris said in embarrassment.
"Ah... Yeah, I feel this kind of déjà vu too. If that's what you're asking," he said.
"Yeah."
There was a few moments of silence between them, until Iris sat on the opposite chair in front of him, and finally recognized his face.
"Omg! I didn't recognize you Dominic!"
"Hey... Ahh... Iris Ann West, right? Gosh it's been a while," Dominic said.
FLASHBACK*
Iris was sitting on the bench with her laptop, watching funny cat videos, and a new student, Dominic, was looking for a place to sit. He saw a free seat beside Iris, and went to sit next to her.
"Hi," Dominic greeted.
"Hey, you're a new student right? I'm Iris," Iris said, shaking hands with Dominic, who looked sort of uncomfortable.
"Umm... Can I sit here?" Dominic asked.
"Yeah sure," she replied.
"Thanks! by the way I'm Dominic," he said.
"Whoa! Nice name. I had a friend when I was younger called Dominic. Though I called him Dom Dom," Iris said, giving a half-smile.
He laughed, "I have never heard of anyone being called Dom Dom."
Iris closed her laptop, and began talking to him.
Since that day on, they both started hanging out and texting each other, day and night.
Iris didn't tell Barry, 'cause she thought he might overreact, due to falling for a guy whose parents kept transferring often.
One day Dominic's parents got transferred to Star City, and it was Dominic's final day in college with Iris.
"Hey Rissie, why the long face?" Dominic asked.
"Do you really have to go? I mean you can stay with me. My father and Barry, they are very caring people," Iris replied.
Dominic's eyes saddened, "I know they are, but I need to go. Besides, we have each other's numbers, so we could chat whenever we want or call each other."
"I know..."
Holding Iris's hands, Dominic looked her in the eyes, trying to look serious.
"If you're sad, watch cat videos," he said, trying not to laugh.
At this, Iris lightly smacked his right shoulder, "Dom, you better stop teasing me or else-"
"Or else what?" Dominic asked.
"Or else I will make you wish I wasn't here."
"But I'll always want you here, no matter what happens."
"I care about you Dom, you are my best friend, even Barry isn't as close to me as you are. Except he still doesn't know. Barry sees me sneak out the window at night, but thankfully he has never asked why, or told on me."
"Those nights were the best, we'd stay up watching cars drive down the street, and look up at the sky," Dominic replied, watching Iris's eyes start to tear up, "Hey, Rissie, you'll be fine without me. You have Barry, he will be there for you, but only if you are willing to let him in."
PRESENT*
"What are you doing here?" Iris asked.
"Well, I came here to fish for some meta news," Dominic replied.
"Oh."
"How are you Iris?" Dominic asked.
"Still going strong after 10 years." she answered.
Just before Dominic was going to ask her something, the barista who was passing by, accidentally spilled coffee on him.
"I'm so sorry sir. Here let me help you," The barista said.
"No it's fine. Iris please excuse me," Dominic said, pushing the chair out from the table.
He went to the bathroom, where strange symbols began to form on his forehead. It was clear DeVoe had taken control now.
After a minute or two, he went back where Iris was sitting.
"Iris, shall we go for a walk? Gives us time to catch up," Dominc asked.
"Yeah sure," she replied, excited to be with her long-lost best friend.
Iris and Dominic were walking in Central City park. It was a bright sunny day, fit for a picnic. They stopped by the lake where there was a man selling refreshments.
"How is it?" Dominic asked.
"It's pretty good. Wonder why I-"
Iris started feeling a bit dizzy.
"Are you okay?' Dominic asked.
"Y...yeah." She replied.
"It doesn't look like you are in a stable condition," he said, as Iris grew weaker every passing second.
"Domi-"
"Iris!"
Iris fell to the ground, where Dominic picked her up, and carry her to his van. Her dizziness much have come from the refreshments that she was enjoying.
The question is, what was so special about that drink, that only she fainted while the others are fine...?
EARTH-38*
Stepping nearer to the figures that laid on the DEO floor, Kara recognized that it was Barry, and Music Meister, who looked very similar to Blaine.
"What are they doing here?" she mumbled.
"God he's heavy," Alex said, lifting up Barry.
"He eats thousands of calories a day, what would you expect?" Kara said.
"Is that Blaine?" Marley asked.
"No. We call him Music Meister," Kara replied.
Both Music Meister and Barry were laid on DEO'S beds next to each other. After a few minutes Music Meister gained consciousness, though Barry was still out.
"Where?- Oh. Hello Kara Zor-El. Hope you're having a lovely day," Music Meister said.
"Why are you here? What lesson are to teaching us this time?" Kara asked.
"Nothing big, just 'put a little love in your heart'," Music Meister replied.
They were interrupted by Barry who started to yawn.
Stretching his back and neck, Barry said "Where am I? Kara? What's Music Meister doing here?"
"Ok, I gotta go, so bye. Catch you two later, when you've learned your lesson," Music Meister said, as a breach opened behind him and joyfully danced into the breach.
"Wait!" both Kara and Barry spoke at once.
"What do you think is the lesson this time?" Barry asked.
"Probably love?" Kara replied.
"Don't think so... He cut a building in half, and punched me in the stomach," Barry said
Suddenly there was a breach forming in the middle of DEO. Mon-El and Imra ran to witness it.
"Oh hey Barry. Did not see you there," Mon-El spoke.
Inside the breach came a blue-ish, crazy haired guy. He wore the same type of suit that Mon-El and Imra were in.
"Hello 21st century creations. My name is Brainiac-5. Half computer, half organic life-form, all coluan and not to brag but... a 12th level intellect. My name is Quarrel Docks, but the Legionnaires just call me Brainy."
"So your name is Brainy?" Barry asked.
"Should I repeat it again. Ok. My name is Braini-" Brainiac was cut off by Mon-El.
"He's one of the members of the Legion of Superheros," Mon-El explained.
"So what are you doing here, BRAINY?" Kara said, turning to face Brainy.
"Well I'm here to help you to fight Reign," he said.
"Why didn't you come with them in the first place?" Alex asked.
"Well, Mon-El woke me from hypersleep," Brainy replied.
"Whoa! I've never seen someone like you before," Marley spoke.
"I'm quite unique in my own way. By the way, why do you look like Supergirl?" Brainy asked, putting a fake confused face on, almost making it seem legit.
"I'm her twin sister, lost due to Krypton's was explosion," Marley explained.
Brainy turned to face Barry, "Who is this man dressed in a red suit with golden lightning designs, and wow, love the boots!"
"Me? I'm Barry Allen, fastest man alive," Barry said.
"And...?"
"Eh... I'm from Earth-1."
"Hmm... and what's your superhero name?" Brainy asked.
Twisting his lip, Barry spoke, "The Flash."
"The Flash. I've heard that somewhere."
"Brainy, he doesn't know yet so... It's best to keep it to ourselves," Mon-El told him.
"Okey Dokey," Brainy replied.
"So, what do your friends call you?" Brainy asked.
"Barry..."
"So... You're saying that your 'original' name is... Well, Barry Allen," Brainy spoke.
"Well, my 'original' name is Bartholomew Henry Allen."
"Oh so that's how Bart got his name!" Brainy exclaimed, finally finding the answer to the question he could never figure out.
"BRAINY!" Mon-El and Imra said, at the same time.
"Sorry," was all Brainy could say.
Barry looked confused at how these three were acting after Brainy gave some easter eggs to the future.
"So what should I call you, Mr Bartholomew Henry Barry Flash Allen?" Brainy asked.
"Call me Barry, just Barry please?" Barry answered.
"Okay."
Suddenly there was a attack on National City park.
"We need Supergirl," Alex said.
Kara ripped her shirt and was about to fly through the window, when Mon-El said, "We'll come with you. Just in case something happens. We can't lose you again."
"I'll come with you," Barry said.
"Barry, you have no idea what we're facing now." Mon-El said
"I've been to multiple earths, fought the greatest speedsters, and you think I'm not capable to fight Reign?"
"It's not that Barry, I think you're not as strong as we are," Mon-El told him.
"Hey, Barry is strong, stronger than you are, and if he wants to come, let him," Kara said on behalf of Barry.
Mon El looked down, "I'm sorry Barry."
'It's okay dude. I'm sorry too." Barry said
"Brainy right?" Winn asked Brainy.
"That would be me. "Oh, and who are you?"
"Call me Winn."
"Wine?" Brainy echoed.
"No. It's W-i-n-n."
"Oh... Winn. I see."
Alex looked at Barry before they left. There was something strange how Barry was reacting when Kara stood up for him. It almost feels like... Oh no!
When they reached the park, they saw Reign pulling out some trees.
"Oh she going gardening, oh sweet," Barry said.
Only Kara was laughing, "That's funny."
"Guys this is no time for jokes."
"Okay," The scarlet speedster and the girl of steel said, in unison.
Reign threw trees, benches and other things that she could find at them.
"Reign, please listen to me. This is not who you are. You and I both want the same thing, we don't have to be enemies," Kara said.
"Since when have Kryptonians learned peace?" Reign asked.
"Since we learned humanity," Kara replied.
Reign fought with Kara, Mon-El, and Imra but failed to defy her. Suddenly Barry had an idea. Barry ran as fast as he could to the edge of National City.
"What is he doing?" Mon-El asked.
"Super Sonic Punch!" Kara exclaimed.
"Eh?" Mon-El said.
Barry stormed towards the city, as red and golden lightning accompanied him from behind. Everyone thought that he was going to attack from the front, but he did it from behind, where he knocked out Reign.
After a few seconds, Reign regained her consciousness, but there was something strange about her actions.
"Where am I? Supergirl? Who are you guys?" Reign asked.
"Reign it's okay. Just breathe." Kara assured her.
"But...but how? I was at ca- a...a-and-"
"Everything is okay." Kara confronting her.
Then she returned to Reign and flew off.
EARTH 1*
Iris woke up in a lab where it was cold, and saw she was laid on a bed where her head, hands and feet were tied. Soon Dominic arrived.
"Had quite a knock out Mrs Allen?" Dominic asked.
"Dom, what are you doing?" Iris asked, curiously looking at Dominic
"Oh I'm not Dominic. I'm the man who had Mr Allen on trials," DeVoe answered.
"Clifford DeVoe! I thought you were dead," Iris said, very confused.
"Well I'm not," DeVoe replied, smiling.
"But why in Dominic's body?" Iris asked.
"Because I knew what happened between you two," he said, giving a wink to Iris.
DeVoe stood behind Iris with a remote. The green light flickered on the remote, meaning that it was ready. The machine was ready for use.
Dominic brainwashed Iris. She was unconscious for hours, but when she woke up, she found herself in a comfortable bed, with the finest mattress. She didn't remember anything that happened in the last four years, but she remembers, her and Dominic were in college together.
What will happen? Will Iris be okay? What's going on with Kara and Barry?
