"Danielle, we need you to cooperate with us and tell us what happened."
"I have nothing to say."
"Help us prove your dad is innocent so—"
"My dad killed my mom! There's nothing to prove. Her blood was on him as she was dying and he didn't do anything. He is a doctor and he didn't save her." At this point, I was too angry to even go on. Detective West wrote something down on his paper and ordered the other guard to leave.
"Your brother tells us something different, so help me understand. He says there was someone else that night, some kind of man in a yellow suit."
"My brother is an idiot and needs to grow up. He can't accept the truth that no one was there but us." I looked at the ground, my arms crossed. "Can I leave? I don't want to answer more questions."
"Go ahead."
It was a normal Thursday, I was on my way to Jitters to get a special delivery from Isis to Joe and her now boyfriend, Eddie. I was so happy for her, she got a hottie but better than that, a distraction from her stress of her job and Barry.
"Iris." I called out for her, making her turn around and smile.
"Hey, Dan. Why don't you take a seat and will get the delivery in a minute." I nodded and walked to the nearest empty table. "How are things going at the hospital?" She asked once she was back to me, handing me the bag with the stuff.
"Incredibly well. The other doctors are very nice and my new patients are cooperating well enough."
"I'm glad. Is there any news on Barry?"
"Not that I've heard of. Not getting any better nor any worse. But don't worry, Iris, Barry will wake up."
"It's just hard. The house is so dead without him." I placed my hand on her shoulder.
"You are my sister and I don't want to see you down. You have a boyfriend now, Iris, go and have fun. Leave the stress and sadness to people like me who the only thing they have to worry is about work."
She chuckled a little. "You're right, I should go out more. But for now, I have other clients to attend."
"Right, right." We both laughed as I got up from the seat to hug her. "See you around."
After saying our goodbyes, I drove to the CCPD to meet with Joe and Eddie. As usual, the station was filled with the sound of phones ringing or cops talking about their patrols.
It was a normal Thursday, I was on my way to the CCPD to bring a special delivery from Isis to Joe and her now boyfriend, Eddie. I was so happy for her, she got a hottie but better than that, a distraction from the stress of her job and Barry.
"Knock, knock." I said while entering the Joe's office.
"Finally, my favourite part of the day." Eddie said while I handed him a coffee and a donut. "Thank you, Dan."
"It's nothing." I went to Joe and placed the bag in front of him. When I did, I could notice Joe's face looking worried so I thought something bad must've happened. "Joe, are you alright?"
"I'm fine. Eddie, could you give me a moment with Danielle?" Eddie simply nodded and left the office. "Take a seat."
"You are starting to scare me, Joe."
"Barry is fine, if that's what you are worried." I sighed in relief. "But it's about someone else I want to talk about…your dad." That relief was gone the moment he said that. There was a frown on my face, Joe knew how much I didn't like talking about him. "When Barry's accident happened, I went to Iron Heights to tell him about it. He was devastated, so I told him you were in town. I could notice a sparkle on his eyes and then he asked me a favour…he wants you to go and visit him. Of course, he told me to wait for the right moment to tell you and I think this is the proper time. Your dad needs you, Danielle."
"No." I said while getting up from the chair. "He is a murderer. He killed his own wife, my mother. I don't want to see his face ever again, I don't want to know anything about him, and he is where he belongs."
"Danielle, please…"
"No, Joe. I'm sorry, but you know better than anyone else that since the accident, I promised to never see my dad unless he is proven innocent."
Joe sighed, running a hand through his face. "I won't make you do something you don't want to. I'll let your dad know that he won't be seeing his daughter for a while."
Joe got up from his chair and went to the door, opening it and motioning me to get out. I said no word, I was angry, so I simply walked away without any other word. The best thing that came to my mind was go and visit Barry, so I drove to STAR Labs.
Once there, I noticed that not all the lights were on, which I was weird. To my surprise, Cisco and Caitlin were not on the normal room. But the facility was open, Dr. Wells must be here, so I made my way to Barry's room.
"Dr. Wells, are you he—"I paused, I couldn't believe what I was seeing. Dr. Wells indeed was on Barry's room but he was…standing on his feet. The moment he saw me, I could notice his face expression changing, so I began to take steps back until I was ready run. But he then took a hold of me, making me fall into the floor. With a small wince, I turned around as he got on top to stop me from getting up, he was very strong. "You can walk." I said with a grunt. "You were never affected by the explosion."
"You are very intelligent, Danielle, I always knew it." He said as I struggled to get free. "You were never supposed to see that."
"You are a liar."
"Maybe I am, but there is a reason." Thanks to Joe, I knew the basics on how to defend myself. So what I did was hit him in the sides with my knee, making him lose balance so I could be the one on top now, trapping him under my body.
"Oh, yeah? What is it? You wanted to get attention, you wanted to people feel pity for you?"
"That is none of your interest." No matter my force, he was stronger than me, so he was once again on top of me, this time, he was holding both of my arms on top of my head and holding both my legs down with his own. "You saw nothing, hear nothing, and know nothing."
"You can't corrupt me."
"Oh, my dear, I know you better than you know yourself. I am the only one that can bring your brother back, or do you want me to leave and Barry stays in that bed for the rest of his life?" I frowned, my eyes falling on Barry's room. "That's what I thought. I don't want to harm you, you are too precious to kill." He finally got up and offered me a hand, which I ignored and got up. "But you are warned, you say anything, your brother will be the one to suffer."
I said no word, I simply looked up at him and slapped him across the face. One of his hands moved to his cheek before turning to me and grabbing me by both of my arms, pulling our bodies close until I could feel his lips on mines. Is this what he meant that he knew me better than I knew myself? Maybe he was right, because even after what happened, I was enjoying the kiss. It began to take a heat, since I could feel my back on the wall by the time I had my lips back and his were working on my neck.
"No, this is wrong." I said while pushing him away from me. He simply smirked. "You know you've been wanting this from a long time, Danielle." He said before getting once again closer to me and kissing me. This time, I said nothing more and let us continue. He lifted me up from the ground, walking to the nearest table, pushing me back on it. We worked on each other's clothes until we both were in our underwear.
…
"This doesn't mean I forgot about you being able to walk." I said as we both tried to recover our breath.
"But it's a way to silence you."
"Are you saying you will pay my silence for sex?" I asked with a brow raised.
"I'll get your silence by us being together." His tone was dead serious, and when I looked at him, he really mean it.
"You expect me to date a guy who is more than ten years older than me, and more than that, a liar to everyone? You really are insane." I attempted to get off the table, but his arms on the sides of my head did not let me. "You can't be serious."
"Why would I not be?"
"Because I don't love you! How am I supposed to date a man I admire?"
"We both know that's not the only thing you feel for me, Danielle. I know I feel something for you, and tonight was my proof of how sincere I am." I didn't even look at him, my eyes were on the ceiling but I could feel his hot lips against my left cheek. "I would be very disappointed if I do not have you by my side."
"And then what? I keep my mouth shut about your little secret?" Though I was not sure on how to react, I leaned into his lips, I was enjoying the closeness.
"Pretty much." Once said that, Harrison finally got off of me, tossing me my clothes so I could change, and so I did. I said no word to him as I change, but I could feel his eyes on me. "So what do you say, Danielle?"
Buttoning my pants, I finally turned to him. "I am not easy to get, so you'll have to put some effort."
The moment I stopped speaking, the monitor near us showed us that Cisco and Caitlin were entering the facility. Harrison motioned me to follow him back to Barry's room. Once he was on his wheelchair, Caitlin's voice was heard on the main room. I eyed Wells and he simply winked, but said no word. "Danielle!" Caitlin said while getting near the room. "We were calling your phone, Cisco and I were having some coffee back with Iris and wanted you to join."
"Oh, I left my phone back at my car. I was spending some time with my brother."
"That's what we thought." She took a glance at Harrison then back at me. "I guess we leave it for another time, then."
"Sure." Cait gave me a smile and followed to exit the room, leaving me once again alone with Wells. "I probably should go now." I said while looking back at Barry.
"Very well, my dear. Don't forget our little arrangement." Wells said while taking my right hand, making me look down at him. "Do me a favor and stay safe." Once said that, he kissed my hand.
"I'll come back tomorrow, same as usual." This time, it was me who bent down and kissed him. I could even feel him smirking.
Okay, first of all, thanks for the new follows, it makes me think that you guys are actually enjoying my story. Thanks for the reviews, special thanks to that one guest who pointed out I didn't tell you much about Danielle, other than she is Barry's sister and a Doctor. My bad. If you guys don't mind, I'll tell you a little about her:
She's four years older than Barry, which makes her 29. She looks like her mother, and that is actually mentioned in a later episode, but I'll tell you now so you can picture her. As mentioned in the last episode, one of her hobbies is dancing. Just like her dad, she decided to study medicine to become a Doctor, a Psychiatrist. Unlike Barry, she doesn't believe that her Dad is innocent but I think it's obvious in this episode. I'm still re-writing some chapters since I am adding more flashbacks of her life since the accident with her mother but don't expect them too often, the chapters are already long enough.
In this epsiode we finally get the romance starting, yay! Did you see that one coming? Now she's a complice on Wells' wheelchair secret. The smallest secret of them all. Anyway, if there is more questions about her or anything else, please let me now.
Last, but not least, I don't own the characters, just my OC. Thanks. x
