Okay, so I uploaded this chapter few days ago but I had to take it down and change few stuff. Since my idea is to have Danielle be part of the STAR Labs team, sometimes I have to use dialogue they say in the show, but that's why I clarify I only own my OC. I was reading the terms but I couldn't find anything that said I was not allowed to do that, so if I missed it, do please let me know immediately or this story will most likely be deleted.

Reminder that I do not own anything but my OC. x

It's been already 9 months since Barry's accident and 4 since Wells and I began our relationship. Caitlin and Cisco were actually happy, saying how we needed to break the tension between the two of us already. Joe was the one that didn't approve it at all. He said to me that Wells was a very mysterious man, not to mention a little too old for me, but I would constantly assure him that everything was going to be fine.

I was back at the hospital finishing a session with one of my patients, it had been a long one and a little stressing one since he wasn't taking his medications and I had to convince him that they were for his health. I was already closing the door to my office when my phone vibrated, it was a message from Cisco: "Good news, Dan, Barry woke up."

I didn't bother to change clothes or anything, I grabbed my things and hurried to my car, stepping on the gas to get to STAR Labs as soon as possible. My heart was racing faster than ever, my brother was finally up. Getting to the Lab, I took a deep breath and walked inside. I arrived at the Cortex and there he was, his back on me. Caitlin motioned him to turn around and so he did.

"Barry." That's the only thing I was able to say before I could feel his arms around me embracing me into a hug. "What happened?" I asked with a shaky voice once he released me.

"I bet it was the song. I told you, Cait, he loves the song." Cisco said while taking a sip of his juice.

"We are not sure." Caitlin stated. "Cisco and I were talking and he suddenly woke up, asking where he was."

"I need to go." Barry said. "We have to go." He said while grabbing my arm.

"No, you can't." Caitlin said.

"No, no, no, Caitlin's right. Now that you're awake, we need to do more tests." Wells said while turning to face us. "You're still going through changes, there's so much that we don't know."

"I'm fine, really. I feel normal." Barry said while walking back, dragging me with him. "Thank you for saving my life." We both began to make our way out, but he suddenly went back. "Can I keep the sweatshirt?" I simply face palmed myself as I could hear Harrison tell him that it was fine, then we both began to make our way outside.

"Barry, I really think you should stay." I said as we exited the place, going to my car.

"I need to see Iris. Please, take me to the coffee shop." I sighed as we both got into the car.

"Really? You wake up and the first thing you need to do is see Iris and not ask about your own sister?"

"Wells told me you were constantly visiting them and me, that you became very close." I started the car and began to drive to the coffee shop.

"Did he told you the whole story?" He simply shook his head in no, I sighed in relief. "I was still in Starling City when everything happened. I got a call in my emergency phone and was surprised when it was Joe, he then told me everything that happened. I got here the minute I packed everything and since we didn't know when you were going to wake up, I asked Alan to transfer me to the hospital here so I didn't stop working."

"Have…have you talked to dad?" I didn't answer, but by my expression, Barry could tell that was a no. "Seriously, Danielle? After what happened to me you didn't even bother to go and visit him?"

"You just woke up, Barry, I don't want to get into an argument just now, okay?"

"Fine." He said while crossing his arms like he always do when we talk about dad. "So, tell me, what other things have you done with your life?"

"Not much, really. I got a new apartment near the hospital and probably that's it. A lot of work at the hospital with getting to know my new patients."

"Any other news? Did you get married, have a child, adopted a cat/dog?" I simply laughed, hitting his arm.

"No, of course not. I am dating someone, if that's what you are wondering."

"Knew it! Who is he? Is he finally the guy you always described when we were younger?" He cleared his throat as I knew what he was going to do next. "When I'm older, I'm going to marry a handsome guy with blonde hair, blue eyes, and he has to be a singer so he can sing me songs all the time." At this point, I was laughing so hard I was glad a red light came up.

"Oh, Barry, shut up. But no, this guy is not like that dream guy I used to say. In fact, you just met him today."

"Cisco?!" He asked almost as if mocking me.

"Shut up, Cisco is a very nice guy. But no, not him."

"Oh." By his tone, I could say he wasn't sure about the idea. "Dr. Wells?"

"The same."

"Whoa. Don't get me wrong but, isn't he a little too old for you? I mean, if you want to give me nephews and nieces, isn't he too old for that?"

"He is not that old, Barry. And I'm sure that if we decided to have kids, we could have them. So shut up and don't be mean." I finished saying as I parked the car on the coffee shop. "Go ahead, she should be inside." I waited for Barry inside my car. I could see Iris's happiness when she saw him and hugged him. They exchanged some other words and the both of them came back to my car. "Hey, Iris."

"Can you believe it? After all this time, and he is finally awake."

"I know. Cisco texted me to tell me about it and now, here he is." I smiled and then turned to Barry. "I guess we should go to the CCPD to Joe?"

"That's right."

After a few minutes, we arrived at the CCPD. The minute Joe saw Barry, he hugged him with a big smile on his face. I leaned on the frame of the door while waiting for Barry to say his hellos to the other officers around. I focused my eyes on two officers that were handling a guy they just caught. I took a closer look and could see the guy's hand reaching out to grab the gun of the officer next to him but before he could grab it, his face was down on the desk. I blinked twice before looking over at Barry, who was now alone, and his weird expression.

"Are you okay?" I asked while walking to him.

"I…I'm fine." He said with a shaky voice as Iris approached us. "I…I just need some air. I'll call you tonight, all right?" He asked Iris and motioned me to follow him. I waved goodbye to Iris as my brother and I exited the place.

I could notice Barry acting weird, he was grabbing his hands like he used to when he is nervous. "Barry, what happened?" Before he could answer, he showed me his hand, which was moving at a very high speed.

"What's happening to me?" Before I could say anything, I could feel the fast wind again and Barry in the trash can that was a few meters away from us. He looked back at me with a confused face and I was simply in shock. Another blink of an eye and he was crashing into a near police car.

"Barry!" Was the only thing I could say as he backed away from the car. He was breathing heavily, and was as confused as I was. He said no word as he looked at both sides of the alley, a small smirk on his face no then he was gone. I hurried to my car on the front side of the CCPD and contacted Wells.

A few minutes later, Barry and I were both in the testing facility of the Ferris Air. Wells, Cisco and Cait brought a van with a lot of their gear and Cisco placed a carp to cover us and their computers from the sun. Barry, who was inside the van changing, finally walked out and I couldn't help but laugh at how funny he looked.

"Well, brother, at least you will be moving so fast no one will see you wearing that." I told him in a mocking way as he softly punched me in the arm.

"See, you though the world was slowing down, it wasn't." Cisco told him while walking with him to the track. "You were moving so fact, it only looked like everyone else was standing still. Doctor Wells will be monitoring your energy output, and Caitlin your vitals."

I turned to Harrison and the monitor he was working on. "Are you sure this is going to be safe?"

"Everything will be just fine, my dear." He said while taking one of my hands and kissing it.

"Just so you know, he crashes a lot. He broke the back window of a police car back at the CCPD and later crashed into the back of an open van of a guy who was putting some pillows."

Caitlin walked to Barry as Cisco approached where Wells and I were. "Check this out." He told me as I moved to him. "With this, we can communicate with him, no matter how far he is."

"That's a nice symbol. Fits him perfectly."

Harrison exchanged some words with Barry, and after that, he walked to the track to get ready as we went back to the monitors and Cisco ready with the speed thermometer. Barry looked back at us and I smiled at him, Wells putting on his shades. Barry looked ahead and suddenly took on running, making Cisco get sent away with the hard wind. I looked at Cisco and Cait's faces, they both were shocked and excited. "He just passed 200 knots per hours." Cisco informed as Cait used her binoculars.

"That's not possible." Cait said still surprised and soon after that, Barry crashed into some barrels.

…

After gathering all of the stuff, we drove back to the Labs where I checked Barry's hand and Caitlin helped me get some x-rays. With confused looks in our face, we walked back to Barry. "You had a distal radius fracture." I told him while holding the fractured X-Ray.

"Had?" Barry asked confused.

"It's healed." Cait told him while holding the other X-Ray of the healed hand. "In three hours."

"How is that even possible?"

"We don't know. Yet." Cait told Barry.

"It looks like not only are you fast, brother, but you heal at a rapid speed."

"You really need to learn how to stop." Cisco told him.

"What happened out there today?" Harrison asked while coming to us. "You're moving pretty well and then something caused you to lose focus."

Barry sighed. "I started remembering something." He said and Harrison did a face to make him say more. Barry looked back at me, me having a confused face, then away. "When I was 11, our mother was murdered." Though Harrison already knew the story, Cisco and Caitlin didn't, both looking over at us. "It was late, a sound woke me up. Both of us walked downstairs, though she tried to stop me but I didn't listen to her. I saw what looked like a ball of lightning. Inside the Lightning, there was a man." At this point, I didn't bother to stay any longer with them, as I always would always get mad when Barry kept on saying what he thinks happened that day.

I didn't stay at the facility, I simply got inside my car and drove to my apartment. Since I was younger, a bath always relaxed me, so I prepared one. Memories about that night came back to me, it still hurt and having Barry still think there was another man in the scene always made it worse.

I was about to get inside the bath when a knock on my door was heard. It wasn't Barry, he knew I needed some space. Looking through the glass thingy, I saw it was Harrison with his disguise that only I knew about. I open the door and motioned him to step inside. Once inside, he took his shades and fake mustache. "I take it that you are upset about what happened with your brother."

I sighed. "It's the usual routine, you should not worry about it." He grabbed me by the waist to pull me closer, making me lay my head on his chest. "I'm sorry for the sudden leaving."

"You don't worry about it, Cisco and Caitlin understood what happened when Barry told them." I looked up at him and kissed him.

"Do you need to be somewhere else?"

"Not if you don't want me to." He smirked and I softly kissed him.

"Great, then you can go to the store and bring me some coffee as I take a quick bath." He raised an eyebrow, as I shrugged. "I'm a caffeine addict, I can't help it." He laughed a little while taking his things once again and walking out the apartment.

Both Harrison and I spent a small time together while drinking coffee before he went back to STAR Labs. I was getting my things ready for my only patient at the hospital when I got a call from Barry, who told me about Mardon and how he now has super abilities, just like him.

"Barry, you need to sort your mind. If this 'meta human' is real, there must be something to do."

"So what if I can save lives, Danielle? Use my speed for the good and save people."

"What? You want to become the Arrow of Central City?" There was no answer from his side of the phone. "Barry?"

"I spoke to him."

"What?"

"I took a small visit to Starling City and had a chat with Oliver. He believes that lightning chose me, that I could inspire people in a way he never did. And I think he is right, I can become a vigilante, the city's guardian angel"

"Barry, you know I will always support you, and even if this sounds crazy, I think you might be right. But at the same time, this could be something bad. You are just learning how to control your speed and if something goes wrong…I can't risk on losing you again, Barry."

"And you won't, sis. I'll see you later." The call ended and I couldn't help but feel a certain excitement but worry at the same time. I dialed Cisco's number. "Hey, Dan."

"C, remember that time you showed me the suit a while back, I think it's time to use it."

"No way!" He said with an excitement. "So is Barry going to be the city's hero?"

"He says he want to be, though I'm still not completely sure if to let him."

"Dr. Wells doesn't want Barry to risk his life pretending to be a hero. I think he is going to be a problem."

"I'll handle him. For now, Barry should be heading with you guys soon, show him the suit."

"You got it." Once the call ended, I prepared everything for the last patient in the day.

An hour later the session was done and I was free to finally go. Cisco texted me to go to the Lab and so that's where I headed to. When I got there, he and Cait were on the monitors. "He is out there with the suit, isn't he?"

"We are just monitoring his vitals." Cait said while motioning me a seat next to Cisco, but I noticed Harrison was not there. "Detective West and his partner are confronting Mardon, he just created a tornado."

The tornado was amazingly big and strong for someone to create. I was still amazed by the ability of Mardon to create such thing. I was worried about my brother's safety and at this point, for everyone's safety in Central City. Cisco and Caitlin were really helping him out, though this was all new to everyone. As Barry began to run around the tornado, Cisco was celebrating the fact that the suit was holding up, "His vitals are dropping." I said while looking at the monitor in front of me.

"He's too strong." By Barry's tone, I could tell he was about to give up.

"You can do this, Barry." Suddenly, Harrison was next to me and leaning on the microphone as he was speaking. "You're right. I am responsible for all this. So many people have been hurt, because of me, and when I looked at you, all I saw was a potential victim of my hubris, and yes, I created this madness, but you, Barry, you can stop it. You can do this now, run! Barry, run!" I smiled when he finished speaking, grabbing his hand.

Once again, Barry began to run around the tornado. He was doing it, he actually was stopping it. When he did his last run, we were all shocked. "Barry?" Cait asked. "Barry?"

"It's over. I'm okay." I sighed, a relief sighed. I turned to Cisco and high-five him.

…

I was laying on my bed. Minutes before I had coffee with Joe to talk about my brother's new ability, and how he believes Barry on what happened the night our mom was murdered. This time, it didn't bother me, for I was beginning to believe in my brother's words. I felt a hot breath on my neck, Harrison was back from the kitchen. "What are you thinking about?"

"The night of my mom's murder."

"What about it?"

"I'm trying to remember the way Barry does. I can't." He wrapped both arm around my waist, my back on his chest. "Maybe Barry is right. Maybe I was too scared to see what he did."

"It could've happened. Your mind tried to protect you so that could explain why you fainted."

"I still won't believe that until I'm proved wrong." I turned around so I could be face to face with him. "You're not mad at me for helping Cisco with the suit, are you?"

"It just took me by surprise, that's all. I never imagined you designing something that could be your brother's death."

I frowned. "You are mad."

"Just upset that you didn't consult me first." I looked down, not saying anything else. "It's fine. Barry is okay and he seemed to like the suit."

"That's true." I leaned and kissed his cheek.

"What does Barry thinks of us being together? You never told me."

"Well…he says that it's fine, as long as I'm happy."

"But."

"He thinks that you're a little too…old for me. He doubts that I can give him nieces and nephews if I'm with you."

There was a small silence. "Do you plan on having kids?"

"I…uh, I never think about it. But I, er I guess I would like to." I bit my lower lip, I didn't know if he likes kids.

"Perhaps, when the time comes, we should have kids." I was surprised by his words, making me look up at him.

"Really?"

"Why not? If it was for me, I would spend the rest of my life with you."

"Please, don't tell me you are proposing to me right now."

"I'm just saying. One day I will eventually retire and I would like to go back to a home where a family awaits for me, and I would like that family to be with you." I said no word as I kissed him.

"But for now, let's rest." I turned the lamp of my side off as we both drifted to sleep.

Wait, Barry said Oliver and not Arrow...what's happening here? Well, I guess you'll need to wait and find out. ;-)
