Barry's arms encircled Lu's waist as they stood on the pier, flicking her hair out of her eyes Barry kissed Lu's temple. Barry asked 'Ever wished you could just freeze the world at one point in time and just look the beauty of earth?' Lu said 'I wish but this is the real world and we don't have superpowers.' Catching a cab back to the city stepping outside Jitters, Barry grabbed them both a coffee and sat down at their favourite section at Jitters. Lu fell asleep on Barry's shoulder, Iris came and sat with them.

She said 'So how was your day off for once?' Barry said 'It was nice, Lu and I spent the day together. Iris listen, Lu and I are thinking of having kids but there is something that you should know before Lu and I got together. I have feelings for you and I don't know how I should go about it, I feel in love with you when we were kids and think that even though they are repressed that they'll resurface in the future.' 'Barry,' Iris said 'Thank you for being honest with me honestly I can see when we were kids I did have a crush on you but I started to love you as a brother. But I think that leave those feelings alone for now and when they come to the surface tell Lu, she will only want to be friends while you're married to till you sort your feelings out. Lu is the one for you Barry I know she is, you just don't see it yet.'

Present Day

'Okay, Lu you've got this you can do this.' Lu laid down on the bed trying to put on her jeans to no avail, Lu muttered 'It's official I can no longer where jeans.' Running a hand over a prominent four-month baby bump, 'I've swallowed a quarter of a basketball,' Lu said. Cisco then came in and said 'Erg, I don't know what you want for breakfast but a..' he stopped himself then asked 'Want me to call Cait?' Lu said 'Please can you ask her to bring some leggings over I think they're the only things that will fit till I can find the time to.'

Half an hour later Lu was on her way to a crime scene wrinkling her nose at the food stands along the way to the bank. After walking in to glass on the floor broken desks up turned chairs, pulling on gloves she went to vault to see how much money had been stolen taking finger prints taking swabs of places, and sweeping up the glass into a plastic bag. An hour later she was done, Barry arrived, binning her gloves she picked up what looked like the lenses of sunglasses. After she saw what had happened at the bank two hours before.

A man had walked in was asked if he needed help took off his sunglasses and everyone who looked at his red eyes just went ape shit. Lu dropped it then went dizzy, Joe and Barry helped her into a nearby chair, she gave Barry her case and Joe drove her to STAR Labs. Half an hour later, Barry joined them, just as Cait was giving Lu an ultrasound. Moving the wand over her stomach Cait said 'And there's your baby, let's see if the baby will turn over.' Lu brushed a hand on the edge of her bump the baby moved as if to touch her, which then gave Cait a better view.

Barry joined them, Cait said 'Well it looks like you are both having a girl.' Lu wiped the gel away, Barry said 'Lu, we need to talk, about us.' Lu said 'Can it wait till we've defeated this meta.' Barry nodded, Wells rolled in and said 'Anger, hate, aggression.' 'A Jedi craves not those things.' Cisco said 'No one is feeling that quote. Come on, Lu you must be feeling it.' Lu was broken out of her thought, 'Sorry Cisco, just thinking on what I need to buy for the baby.' Cisco said ''So, what are you and Barry having?' Lu said 'If you must know Uncle Cisco, we are having a girl.' Cisco said 'Wait, you want be to be an uncle. I'm not good with kids, they cry, they poop and did I mention they cry.' Lu said 'Most babies do. But you're my brother so, you get to be her Uncle.'

Barry said 'Everyone in the bank went total savage for, like, five minutes. And then they were fine again.' Wells wheeled around and said 'Anger can be a powerful emotion. If this meta-human can engender irrational feelings of anger in his victims, he can do a lot of damage.' While pondering, Cait walked back in. 'Detective West helped me get a copy of the CAT scans the hospital did on everyone at the bank,' Cait said as she typed around on the computer then showing it the others on the screens, 'Look.' Wells said intriguingly 'Well, look at this, the emotion centres of the brains are still showing signs of being overwhelmed.'

Cait said 'Particularly the area that controls executive functions. That's the part of the brain that stops people from doing random and potentially destructive thing that pops into their head.' 'How do you think the meta does it to them?' Barry asked. 'Refraction of light.' Lu spoke up. Wells asked 'How did you get that answer?' 'My thesis was on refraction of light,' Lu said 'I did a focus group on how light can changed the electrical currents in the brain to make people to different things depending of the colour of the light.'

Lu put her coat on, after looking at her phone when Oliver texted her 'Shack outside Central City meet me there.' Grabbing her bag, she then began to walk away, Cait said 'Hey Lu where are you going.' Lu said 'Just meeting up with some friends.' Smiling as she did, disappearing into a cloud of smoke, appearing at the shack an arrow flew at her dodging it she opened her jacket because she was warm. She yelled 'What the hell Oliver you could've hit my baby bump.'

Oliver appeared as well as Fel and Digg, Fel hit Oliver upside the head 'Ow!' Oliver said rubbing his head 'What's that for?' They all looked Lu for a second seeing her baby bump she said 'What are you all staring at?' 'What's this?' Oliver exclaimed, Fel followed Oliver's eyes as he looked over Lu's four-month baby bump. Fel hugged her close, she said 'Your starting to show have you bought anything?'

'Not yet,' Lu laughed 'Your fangirling over a baby that isn't born yet. So why are all three of you in Central City?' Oliver said 'Suspicious homicide in the styling where the murder weapon is a boomerang.' As Fel brought out an evidence bag with a metal boomerang, Lu asked 'Is it all right to hold it?' Oliver nodded Fel passed her over the boomerang, Fel said 'It has traces of iron oxide. Central City has the highest concentration.' Lu looked at the boomerang as her finger tips glowed at she touched the cold smooth surface of the boomerang.

It floated above her hand as a light scanned it, as she was finished Fel took it Lu said 'Definitely traces of iron oxide as a liquid Kevlar polymer to make more lightweight, west side of Central city near keystone that's where you find the stuff but also it has C4 cartridge grooves on the curve to explode on impact the guy who supplies them to the murderer located in Starling City. They are not active, it's a custom order.' Oliver said 'Thanks, gave us more of a head start.' Digg proceeded to pull out a tuna sandwich, he said 'What? Why are you all staring at me like that?' Lu gagged at the smell and proceeded to cover her mouth.

He burned his sandwich and complained 'The day I go back to eating tuna. I can't women and their pregnancy stuff.' Lu pushed her hair out of her face and said 'Sorry Dig. How's baby Sara?' Dig said 'Sara's not much of a baby, when I told Lila that you were pregnant, she said next time she's in Starling send her over to the ARGUS building and I'll put her pregnancy worries to rest and give her a few of Sara's old baby clothes.' Oliver said 'So, gender of the baby all of are dying to know.' Lu said 'Well, Digg tell Lila I would be glad to use some of Sara's old baby clothes as I believe that she would fit them.'

Fel said 'Congrats, but aren't you a little big to be only just four months.' Lu said 'I asked Cait that and she said because of it being my first pregnancy and the changes that I went thought after being struck by lightning I'm bounded to be bigger plus high metabolism. I swear I'm going through loads of food like no bodies business.' Digg said 'That must cost you a lot.' Lu said 'It is on top of the bills for the house as well as food and stuff for the baby, I'm selling the house as just becoming too much to handle.'

Oliver said 'You shouldn't have to sell your house.' 'Can I talk to you guys later about this?' Lu asked, they nodded. She got back to central city late, she went to her dad's house. Lu sat on the couch with Joe. Iris, Barry and Cisco, Iris said 'You called a family meeting Lu about what and why is Cisco here.' Barry was there after seeing to a Meta-human crisis, Lu rubbed her bump and said 'I've been going over my finance recently even with Barry still helping with the bill along with food and with the baby coming, We can no longer afford to keep the house.'

Lu began cry and mumbled about hormones, Joe brought her in for a hug, and said 'None of that baby girl. I was like this when Francine and I were having Iris we had to move in with our parents.' Barry said 'Guys, can you give us a minute.' Joe, Iris and Cisco went to the kitchen, Barry got down on his knees in front of Lu and just began apologising for everything '… even though I haven't been there for you so far in the pregnancy but from now on I promise I will. Please take me back Lu, as well as for the sake of my life with Digg and Oliver.' Lu laughed out-loud at the last comment 'I'll take you back Barry. I'll hold you too those promises of late night food.'

The others then came in and smiled at the fact that they had made up, Cisco said 'I still get to live with you guys right.' Barry couldn't hide his smile he said 'After the new year Cisco then you have to find a new place.' Joe said 'So when are you due?' 'April,' Lu said 'and we know the baby's gender.' Iris said 'Is it a girl?' Barry said 'We are having a girl, Lu?' He looked over at Lu who was already asleep, he carried her upstairs to his room and cuddled up to her for the rest of the night.

Barry and Lu arrived at CC Jitters the next morning with their hands entwined Lu said 'Why did you let me sleep in my clothes?' Barry said 'It was either that or wake you up let you shout at me now that we are back together and plus the baby tires you out fast enough.' Lu said 'I have a name for her.' Fel said 'Who do you have a name for?' Oliver said 'The bad guy that you're after, the one who robbed the bank, his name is Roy G. Bivolo.' Barry said 'Uh, thanks.'

Lu let go of Barry's hand and made her way to the bathroom, as she had finished on the toilet and washed her hand she brought her hand up to her bump and within a few moments she felt the baby move within her as well as the baby kicking. Lu said to her bump 'Your daddy and I have been waiting for you to kick, hey baby girl what do you think of Jessie.' The baby kicked hard that time, walking out with a hand on her bump and a big smile on her face Iris was talking with Barry Lu made her way over to Oliver and Fel.

Fel asked 'What's got you so happy?' 'She kicked' Lu smiled, 'for the first time.' Oliver said 'Wow.' Fel stared at Oliver and said 'We need to help Barry with this case.' Oliver said 'Barry doesn't really want my help. He only thinks he does. Fel said 'Harrison Wells and Barry's cop foster dad both said you were dangerous and a bad influence. Barry defended you.' Lu piped up 'I have also defended you on multiple occasions my dad thinks that it was great that you taught me how to defend myself but questions your previous styles from the last couple of years.' Oliver said 'But you're going hock me about this aren't you.' Fel said 'Maybe.'

Taking a sip of her latte, Barry walked back over Oliver said 'We'll help you catch your bad guy.' Barry said 'Meta-human.' Oliver said 'I'm not calling them that.' 'Partners?' Barry questioned 'Partners.' Oliver agreed while shaking hand 'Two hours, shack outside the city don't be late.' The baby had decided to kick again, 'Damn it, baby girl. You don't need to kick that hard.' Lu said while rubbing the spot, Barry asked 'Is she kicking?' Lu said 'She likes to kick since a few minutes ago, don't you Jessie?' Fel questioned 'Jessie?' Barry had both hands on the sides of her bump as the baby kicked, Barry felt it as she kicked in response to the name. Barry bent down to the bump and Iris came over wondering what was going on, Barry said to the baby 'My little Jessie, that's your name. Mommy picked out a good name for you and Daddy loves it and I can't wait to meet you baby girl.'

Iris had been recording it, Barry kissed her bump he got up Oliver when top feel her kick while Barry was holding her hand. The baby kicked, as Lu began to have a vision see almost future events, training with Oliver, Barry getting whammied by Bivolo, almost attacking Eddie and Iris, coming to his senses after the Arrow shooting him with an arrow and catching Bivolo. She was knocked out of it by Iris saying 'I'm going to have a niece. I've sent Dad the video of Barry talking to little Jessie.' Iris reached for her bump and the baby kicked after a while. Iris went back to work, Lu grabbed the nearest chair to stable herself. Fel said 'Lu are you ok?'

Barry said 'The same thing happened yesterday morning.' Lu said 'I saw what Bivolo had done at the bank he's making people go angry by refraction of light using the colour red. He does it on demand but has like sunglasses that stop him from doing it if he has no control over it.' Oliver said 'So we know how he's doing it and how to protect ourselves.' Lu said 'I also saw what may happened depending on how things go. Barry when you finished with Oliver came straight back to STAR Labs ignore anything to do with Bivolo what Cisco or Wells tell you and don't go without Oliver.' Barry blinked and said 'Okay, Lu your starting to scare me. Is everything ok?'

'I don't know,' Lu admitted 'My powers are all over the place because of being pregnant. I saw a possible future which scares me of how it ends because Bivolo whammies you after being with Oliver and it take affect gradually over the next day or so and you do some stuff that you wouldn't normally do.' Barry asked, 'Did I hurt you?' Lu said 'Nearly, if everyone else hadn't been there because I've asked Cisco for suppression cuffs or at least a necklace so that I'm not using the full force of them just the basics and that I'm not hurting Jessie.'

Barry pulled her close and kissed her head he said 'I promise you, I'll came straight back you go to STAR Labs, I'll head to work and tell them where you are. I think Singh wants you to start maternity leave already.' Lu said, 'Also drop by the lab and pick up that lens from the sunglasses I found maybe I can create a way to use it so that we can't be effected also to help build him a cell in the pipeline.' Fel said 'Dig will drop you off.' Settling in the back of the car as Oliver sat up front and Fel in back with Lu, Digg drove off heading towards STAR Labs, Oliver broke Lu out of her thoughts 'So Lu, what you are thinking about.' Lu said, 'Just memories.'

Fel asked 'Like what?' Lu said, 'When my dad walked out on my mom and I, they had argument a couple of months before about me.' They arrived at STAR Labs, Lu left them and walked inside and sounded like something had exploded she ran into Cisco's work space filled with smoke as it dissipated Cisco said 'Not trying that again,' he held up a pair of Lu's gloves that had been burnt and what would have been breast plated armour on the table which was now melted to said table. Lu said 'Cisco.' Cisco said 'Ah, yes I have it.' Cait's voice came over the intercom 'Cisco, if you're looking for the necklace which has the power reiki symbol on it's in the Cortex where you left it.'

Arriving at the cortex to get her Cait handed the necklace, putting it on Fel walked in she said 'Knock, knock. Not interrupting, am I?' Cait said 'Not at all.' Cisco muttered 'Stay,' to the boomerang in the other room. 'Cisco, it's not a dog you know,' Lu said then to Fel 'Have you heard of colour psychology?' Fel said 'The theory that changes in the colour spectrum can effect emotion.' Cait said 'It is so nice to have another woman to talk to beside Lu.' Fel said 'I know.' Cait said 'I was thinking if Bivolo uses colour to induce the temporary psychosis, maybe we can use light and colour to reverse it.' Wells rolled in and said 'Miss Smoak, a word, if you, please.'

Fel walked out with Wells, Lu said 'Your right Cait about Bivolo he uses colour in order to make the victim feel aggression also light refraction to induce it as well.' Jessie kicked again, placing a hand on her bump she said 'Seriously, baby girl, you can't stop kick for one minute.' Cait dropped what she was doing, 'She's kicking?' Cait asked, 'Yeah, she is want to feel.' Lu said, Cait placed her hand on Lu's baby bump and just like that Jessie kicked for her, 'Oh my god,' Cait smiled 'She's kicking.' 'So, I was thinking?' Lu said, 'How do you feel about being godmother of Jessie.'

Cait nearly choked 'You want me to be godmother to your baby Jessie her name is?' She asked, 'I want you to be,' Lu said 'Iris maybe the one I grew up with, talked about boys with, but Cait you truly understand me as who am I with the science talk, your my sister.' 'Yes,' Cait said 'I'll be her godmother.' Cisco said as he walked into the room 'What about me as godfather, oh maybe I can go all godfather on her.' 'No you're not,' Lu said 'Right now it's debatable about you being godfather one, things tend to blow up when you're working, Barry and I still have to April to decide this stuff and it's November now.'

Barry ran in and said, 'Why didn't you tell me that he would shoot me with arrows?' 'He did the same with me while training,' Lu responded, 'Although Batman was the same when we trained together.' The computer began beeping, Cisco said 'Hey, we just got a ping from the facial recognition software on Bivolo, aka, Prism.' Cait frowned as she walked over, 'Since when do we have facial recognition software?' Fel answered 'Happy Hanukkah.' Barry asked, 'Where can we find him?' 'Traffic cameras just caught him entering a residence at 168 Jarvis.' Cisco said, Lu appeared behind him, as his picture appeared on the screen, typing a few things his image of entering the building appeared on the TV overhead. Lu said 'Guys, do you see the way he was looking at the camera?' Fel said 'Yeah it's almost like he knows we are looking at this. Barry, what was he like at the warehouse?' Barry said 'Demented, he had this look in his eye that he knew we would be there.'

'Bivolo, knows that the flash is the new superhero in town,' Lu said 'Barry you have a good record so far as the flash he's trying to turn you into something that they want to fear. Like, Eddie trying to get the task-force on you.' Cait said 'So, if that did happen and he does whammy you. Eddie has the right to a task-force while everyone else is hunting you down of the police he free to commit crimes as he pleases.' Cisco said, 'Hold up we got another ping there's a girl outside STAR Labs.' Clearing away anything about the Flash or Cosmic dreamer, Cait brought her in and said, 'She's here for you Lu.' The girl stood at 5 ft.5 black hair baby blue eye small nose, pale, wearing casual clothing 'Hi, I'm Annalise Simpson,' Annalise said, 'Are you Moana Luna West-Allen?' Lu answered 'Yes, why?' 'Because I'm your sister,' Annalise said, 'Eli Simpson is my father.'

Shock ran Lu, as she felt dizzy and darkness coated the edge of her vision. Barry's distorted voice asked 'Lu, are you ok?' Unable to answer she succumbed to the darkness, a day later she woke up to find Oliver sat beside her, she said 'Do you like to watch women sleep because that is creepy.' 'I can tell you back,' Oliver said Lu asked, 'What happened?' Wells answered 'You fainted from shock, needed about 100 IV bags. I found out that Oliver was the Arrow. Also, it wasn't Barry who got whammied, Annalise did she's a meta just like Barry a speedster, Oliver saved her from going to far.' Oliver and Wells left the room, changing she joined up with the other in the cortex, as the all stood there including Annalise and Joe beside Wells who was in his wheelchair.

Oliver said 'My identity, is a closely guarded secret known only to a few, like I chose to reveal myself to Lu, because I saw a part of myself within her when she told me about her Mom it's the same I was when I lost my dad that day. And if it were to get out it would endanger my family,' while he said that he looked at Lu as if she knew what that meant and continued 'My friends and it would embolden my enemies to retaliate at me through them.' Fel stepped in and said, 'What Oliver is trying to say is that he had a lovely time working with you and getting to know each of you, and he can't wait to do it again soon.' 'Right.' Oliver said. Lu then said, 'Hey Oliver, can you tell Digg to tell Lyla I'll come to Starling next week for the baby clothes.'

Smiling they left, Cait said 'Lu, while you were out of it I was comparing your meta-human DNA against Annalise's and found that you both don't share any similar DNA. At first I thought it was because you guys were meta's but I took some of Joe's DNA and compared it with his and you don't share any of the same genetic markers.' Lu said 'What your saying is that, I'm…' 'Adopted, yes although I never intended for you to find out this my little, Maile.'

A/N Hi people I want to apologies for this being so late as I've had uni assignment up to my neck and expect the next chapter to be about when the flash and cosmic team visit Starling city the arrow team and Lyla only knows about Lu's powers
