One month after waking up
It took a while for Lu to get back into the swing of her life after realising that she had been in a coma and that STAR Labs was shut down but she continued her projects there while working as a CSI at CCPD so that they didn't have top hire a new one so that if Barry ever did wake up he still had a job to come back to. She also trained on her powers as well she didn't plan on using them to fight criminals it wasn't until one night that made her change her mind.
(Flashback two weeks ago, March 18th 2015)
Lu dragged herself out of bed just like any other day. Get up, go to work, go to STAR Labs, train her powers, see Barry and go home. That was basically her life till the 18th of March came along she didn't go into work that day, as Lu dragged herself out of bed and looked presentable wearing some blue skinny jeans her black heels flowing silver top and her outdoor coat. she created a portal to an alley way not that far from a florist, when she was there she picked up two single red roses and paid for them.
When she arrived at the cemetery a few tears rolled downs her face, her very vibrant hair pulled back into a low hung ponytail, she walked along to to sliver head stones that stone together one said
'Nora Garrick Allen
Loving mother and loving wife
She gave us love in the fullest measure
Care, devotion, memories to treasure
In our hearts she will always live.'
And another said
'Natasha West
Loving mother, sister and auntie
She did more than exist, she lived.
She did more than listen, she
understood. Rest peacefully, dear.'
She placed a rose on each grave and spoke into the wind gently 'Hey Mom, hi Nora. It me Lu, there are so many things i wished to say to both of you in person but I never got the chance but i love both of as does Barry, the thing is Nora, Barry is in a coma and they don't think that he'll wake up it been five months and i don't know what to do. I've been given these powers and what am i supposed to do with them i do not want to fight criminals with the them i'm happy with the way that I am but how am i going to do it.'
She touched both headstones then turned to walk away, till a voice that she had not heard since she was 11, 'my little Maile all grown up,' Lu whipped around as fast as she could and she held her breath after seeing her mom in front of her with a small pink glow to her, unable to get her words out, another person showed up and said 'Nat, I don't think she knows how she brought us back yet.' And there stood Nora Allen in the flesh so to speak with the same pink glow to her, Nora said 'Let's continue this at the bench over there,' they all walked over to the nearby bench where Lu managed to get one word out with was 'How?' Nat placed a hand onto her shoulder comfortingly and said 'Your power, life force manipulation. it gets stronger the more you absorb life energy. Nora and I have been watching over you there is such a place as the afterlife but that isn't why we are here,' Lu said slowly 'Mom, I miss you everyday, and Nora Barry and Henry miss you. can anyone see you?' Nora smiled 'Not unless you want them to, Nat and I are here to help you decide if you want to use you powers to help people.' Lu stood up, and said 'What if I hurt someone, or even turn evil.'
Nora wrapped an arm around her shoulders and said 'All the good you have done in this world reflect how much of a good person you will be, you were good enough to give Barry a chance when some wouldn't even bat an eyelid at him. Everyday you see the good in everyone Caitlin, Cisco, Joe, Iris and Henry because they are the only people that matter to you as we do.' Nat said 'Now what are you going to do, my little Maile.' Lu smiled 'Become the best hero i can be for central city and do you both proud.' Nat said 'And do yourself proud. I think you should tell Joe, only when you think you are ready.' They both took off their necklaces and placed it in Lu hand, the necklaces felt cold and real in her hand Nora said 'It the necklaces we were buried in keep them and give Barry mine when he wakes up and tell your STAR Labs team what happened. you can call us any time you want but not until Barry wakes up I want to talk to him.'
Lu walked away with the necklaces in her pocket, smile on her face and peace in her heart, Nora and Nat stared after her Nora said 'Do you think she's ready to know the truth?' Nat said 'Is anyone ever ready but she is strong this will prepare her for the future and what I haven't told her or Joe but she will be ready one day.' They disappeared from earth with a smile on their faces for what was to come for Lu.
