Hello, everyone, it's been a while. I'm sorry, don't hate me for taking so long but let me be honest with you: I was having some sort of block while writing this chapter, which is probably obvious in the last part so sorry if it's kinda lame, then my computer died and writing on my iPad is not always fun so that's why I took longer. But I promise to hurry up with the next chapters because I'm really looking forward on uploading the Christmas one (special thanks to Immortalman18 for giving me some ideas) and big things are coming.

Reminder that I do not own anything but my OC. Please, review and enjoy. X

"I was thinking of Chinese?"

"Anything you want, love, its fine by me."

"Are you even home? Doesn't sound like you're at home." With the light turning red, I stopped and took a look around.

"I'm still at STAR Labs. Don't worry, I'll be home before you get there." The moment Harrison stop speaking, there was an explosion on a building near. "Danielle, what was that?"

"Oh, shit." I said while seeing the window cleaner guy almost falling down. "Babe, I'll call you back." With the light finally turning green, I turned around the street that took me directly to where the building was. Naturally, I texted Cisco about it before I got a response from him saying that Barry was already on his way.

The police cars quickly began to round up around. Some officer even told me to back away. From the other side of the street I noticed a cab stopping and a familiar face getting off.

"Iris? What are you doing here?" But she didn't answer, as she was too amazed looking at something. With a curios look on my face, I looked to where she was and there I could see the lightning from Barry's speed going up to the building to where the man was hanging. Uh-oh, not good. "Iris, wait!" I called out for her, but she began to make her way to the alley that took us to where Barry had landed with the guy.

He was about to run but he then noticed the both of us. From behind Iris, I motioned him to not speak. To my surprise, he began to move his head at a speed that didn't allow us to see his face, it was only like a blur, before he finally took off. "Did you…did your see that?!" Her face was an exciting face with a big smile on her face. "That's the streak that's saving Central City. I knew he was real."

"Come on, I'll take you home."

The road back to Joe's house was full of Iris talking about the streak and about her blog about him. She was really happy to finally get to see him face to face, and it was obvious that she was now going to keep her blog. "You saw him, didn't you?"

"I'm not sure what I saw." I admitted.

"But he was right there in front of us, saving that man from falling down and crashing into the pavement."

"Look, Iris, whatever is that we saw there you should leave it alone. Maybe the reason not a lot of people know about him is because he doesn't want them to." I said once I parked in front of Joe's house and I could see her face dropping.

"I'm sure of what I saw out there and I know he is saving the city so I'll make whatever it takes for the people of Central City to know there is someone out there looking out for us." With nothing else to say, Iris got out of my car and headed to her house. I simply sighed, she was not going to give up so easily.

…

With the early work at the hospital, I hadn't got the time to speak to Barry about what happened last night with Iris' encounter. I was at my lunch break just starting to eat when my phone ringed. I didn't want to answer it but when I saw it was from Joe, I took it right away.

"Joe, hey."

"Why were you and Iris both at the bombing last night?" I bit the inside of my cheek, he didn't sound happy.

"I can't speak for Iris, but I was on my way to buy dinner when the whole thing happened. I was contacting the guys when I saw Iris arriving there. She saw him, Joe, she saw The Streak when he was saving that man."

"What did you told her?"

"That she should leave it alone. I couldn't deny seeing him, we were face to face with him."

I heard him sigh. "Did she noticed it was Barry?"

"No, no. Of course not. He did something with his face, making it look like a blur."

"Alright, fine. I'm on my way home, the whole case was taking away from us."

"What do you mean?"

"Apparently, the bomber is someone from the government and this General Eiling took the case from us."

"And is that bomber some type of meta-human or just someone that wanted to blow things up?" Looking at the clock, I noticed I didn't have much time left so I packed my things and walked back to my office.

"That's what Barry and the others at STAR Labs are trying to figure out."

"I'll take a visit to the lab once I'm done at the hospital."

The rest of the day went by normal. With a new patient being added to my list, I took a little longer as we got to know each other. I was already packing my things when a message from Cisco got my attention. Apparently, this new girl they found was indeed a meta-human like I suspected, and Barry was bringing her to the lab, so they wanted me to help them take a look at her.

When I arrived, everyone was at the treadmill room. "Just in time." Barry said while looking over at me.

"Looks like it. So, what do we got this time?"

"Bette Sans Souci, everything that she touched will turn into a bomb and explodes. Pretty interesting, huh?" Cisco said without taking his eyes off her.

"Her cellular structure's unlike anything I've ever seen." Harrison said with his eyes on the monitor.

"Her nitrogen levels are off the charts." Cait added as I walked to get some gloves and walk inside to where Bette was sitting.

"Hi, you must be Bette. I'm Danielle." Naturally, I hold my hand up for a shake, but her look reminded me of what she was capable of. "Right, I'm sorry."

"It's okay, I'm wearing these." She motioned to the gloves she was wearing as well. "Caitlin says they will prevent me from creating explosions."

"Cisco says that anything you touch will turn into a bomb." I walked to get a stethoscope, taking a look back at the guys talking about something behind the wall.

"Yeah. That's the reason why I'm here."

"Don't worry, we will find a way to help you." I walked back to Bette and was about to take her pulse when I noticed a stain of blood on her left shoulder. I pulled the sleeve up and saw a shot wound with blood dripping down. "You were shot?"

"It's just graze." She said and I took a closer look.

"Hold on, there's something there." From the cart on my right, I grabbed some tweezers and carefully took whatever that was inside.

"A tracker." Bette said and with a confused look, I turned to the others as an alarm began to sound.

"Lock down the pipeline. Get Bette out of here. I'll take care of Eiling." Harrison ordered as I placed the things back on the kidney dish and Bette exited the room.

I was on my way to exit from the back when someone grabbed my arm, it was some kind of soldier. "Hey, let me go." I was about to punch him when another pair of hands grabbed my other arm. "The hell do you think you're doing?" None of them said a word as they both pulled me to the entrance of the building, where Harrison was talking to someone I figured was Eiling.

"General Eiling, we got this one trying to escape." One of the soldiers said.

"Got some company over, Harrison? Can't blame you, who could say no to such beauty? Tell me, sweetheart, why do you bother with a crippled man like him?" With a frown on my face and Eiling standing in front of me, I didn't think twice to kick him in between the legs. His face told me that he was not happy about my action and once he gather himself up, he grabbed his gun and hit me in the face as hard as he could. If it wasn't for the soldiers holding my arms I would've fall down.

"Danielle! Don't you ever touch her again, Eiling, do you hear me?" Harrison said as I spit some blood out of my mouth.

"Or what? You'll kill me? Good luck with that." Eiling motioned the both soldiers to unhand me, this time, me falling into the floor, as he and the rest of the soldiers went back to the elevator and out of the facility.

"What were you thinking?" Harrison said once we were alone, standing up and helping me on my feet.

"What was he thinking? Speaking of you that way." Harrison's hand move my hair to the other side of my shoulder, taking a look at where Eiling had hit me.

"You should know by now that those type of comment don't affect me." Grabbing me in his arms, he walked us to the nursery. "Your bruise on the back is just healing and now you will have a new one on your face."

"Great." I mumbled while sitting on the bed. "Who is he? Cisco only told me little about him."

"General Wade Eiling. He and I know each other from before, even worked together when he wanted to develop mind reading capabilities for interrogations purposes. But his way of experimenting was vile, so I shut everything down." While he was talking, he walked to get a bag of ice, placing it on the side of my eye.

"Good thing Barry was able to get Bette out of here, can't imagine what he will do to if he get his hands on her."

"He won't, we will make sure of it." His tone of voice and serious face gave away it was obvious he didn't like that man.

"So what about Bette, will we be able to help her?"

"Why don't we figure that out?"

Holding the ice bag on my side of the eye, both Harrison and I went back to the Cortex to analyze the information we gathered from Bette. It was rather intriguing, since she was the first meta-human we got to test other than Barry.

"We won't be able to help her." I finally said while looking at the monitor with Bette's body scan. "It's cellular level, we can't splice her DNA."

"I'm afraid there's no technology able to do that."

"Well, this sucks." With a sigh, I walked to turn the monitors off.

"Come one, love, let's go home and rest."

Even if I didn't want to give up on looking for something to help Bette, there was nothing left for us to do. I felt bad, with the small talk we had she looked like one of the good ones, but she was unstable, though not much for her to go to the pipeline.

…

"Barry, come on, it's not your fault. Eiling is the only responsible for Bette's death."

"I'm fast and I couldn't stop him from killing her. It is my fault." Barry got up from his chair while moving a hand through his face.

"There's times when stuff like this happens and you can't blame it all on you. You are a great superhero, but even the strongest of them all can't save everyone." I said while walking to him, resting a hand on his shoulder.

"I still feel bad for her." His face changed into a less sad expression, making me smile at him.

"So hey, what happened with Iris and the whole blog?" The minute I asked, his face fell once again. "Shouldn't have brought that subject."

"I told her it is better for us to not see each other for a while."

"I thought the Streak visited her?" I asked confused.

"He did, but she's now even more convinced on letting the people know about him and is will do whatever it takes to do so." He sighed. "She doesn't know all the danger that can cause."

"There's nothing you or even Joe can do to convince her to stop, we know her well enough. Just don't let anything bad happens to her."

"You getting kidnapped one time is enough for me to not let any other of my family or friends get in the same situation." He said with a serious face before looking at me. "How's your eye doing?"

"Hurts just when I try to sleep on that side. Other than that, getting better."

"I still can't believe you hit Eiling." He let a laugh out and I just rolled my eyes.

"He was insulting both Harrison and me, he had it coming. Told you, Joe's training was going to become handy in some situations."

"I guess you're right." With the sky already being dark, Barry walked over to turn his computer off and get his coat. "I was thinking on hitting the bar, wanna come with me?"

"I thought the alcohol had no effect in you?" I questioned while walking to the exit with him.

"You're right, but I'll go there just for the fun."

"Nah, I pass. You might not get drunk, brother, but you know I will and I don't want to arrive home in a taxi." He chuckled as we got to my car. "Goodnight, Barry, I'll see you around."

"Night, sis." With a last kiss on his cheek, Barry took off running as I got inside my car and headed home for the night.
