I own nothing, just my OC. x
It was early in the morning, meaning a new day for Danielle to start working on her powers. Though it seemed simple, it was not. She was beyond tired and she was having rather a hard time concentrating with a lot of things going on inside her mind.
"I can't do it, this is impossible!"
Harrison wheeled to where she was sitting, placing both his hands on top of her. "You know that nothing is impossible. I know this is new to you but you will do it, I know you will. Clear your mind, there's only you and the bottle."
Danielle nodded, her eyes back on the bottle Cisco was placing in the table. She took a deep breath and just like Harrison told her, there was only her and the bottle. It was like no one else was in the room, like everything around her went blank and the only thing other than her was that plastic bottle.
From the other side of the room, Caitlin was keeping track on her vitals, but so far, everything was normal but her brain scans. Just as they began to show more reaction, the bottle was being lifted up from the table.
Danielle smiled, she was finally getting a hold on how her powers. "Do you think I can be able to control other humans?" She asked and Cisco was the first one to walk to her.
"Oh, oh, I volunteer. I always wanted to know what it feels like."
"Are you sure? It was just a question. I don't know if I can do it." Danielle said with small concern on her voice since controlling people didn't seem to be something easy.
"Just try." Danielle looked at Harrison but he simply shrugged and nodded in approval.
Once again, her eyes focused only on Cisco, who was standing still. In her mind, she pictured his right hand going up to his face level and giving himself a slap. Unknowing to her that was really happening and Cisco winced when his hand made contact with his cheek.
"Oh, my god, are you okay? Too hard?"
"Dude, you just made me do something against my own will. I couldn't control my actions even if I wanted to." Cisco said excited, and Danielle couldn't help but feel excited as well.
"Let's take a break, we don't want to push it." Dr. Wells ordered and everyone in the room nodded.
With Cisco and Caitlin walking back to the Cortex, Danielle looked over at him. "Do I get to go back to the hospital to work?" He sighed, those kind of sighs when something was wrong. "Why not?"
"You're just starting to get to know your new abilities. There's more to discover and you still need to learn to control them. I don't think it's wise for you to go back to the hospital."
Danielle sighed. She really wanted to go back to her job, but then again, Harrison was right. She didn't know how to fully control her powers and she was not going to risk people noticing something odd going on with her.
"I want you to meet someone." He suddenly said and Danielle glanced at him confused.
"Who?"
He didn't say anything, he simply moved the wheelchair to the very back of the room and walked back to grab her in his arms, speeding out of the place until they reached the sewers. The moment he stopped, Danielle had her face hid on his neck, feeling dizzy.
"Much faster than Barry." Slowly, he placed her on the ground and that's when Danielle realized where they were. "Why are we here?"
"You'll see." With Harrison grabbing her hand, they carefully walked through the tunnel. There was a shadow on the end of the place making Danielle move closer to Harrison. "There's nothing to be afraid." He assured her.
Just as they reached closer to the end, a giant gorilla appeared from the other side. Danielle instantly knew who this was about. "Grodd?" She asked.
"Father." The voice was on Danielle's head as she tried to figure out what was happening.
"I thought…how is he here?"
"Grodd never escaped, I brought him here after the particle accelerator exploded." He explained as Danielle got closer to Grodd, holding a hand for the gorilla. "Maybe you can help each other. Call me if you need anything." Harrison kissed Danielle's left cheek before storming away.
Danielle felt weird being left alone with a gorilla twice the size of a normal one. Grodd didn't seemed to be a danger, so she thought it was all fine. Just like she had done it, Grodd moved his large hand for Danielle to grab it, and when she touched it, there were visions on her head. But this ones were painful.
"Eiling hurt you, huh? Use you like a puppet for his experiments." She began, walking around to see the paintings on the walls. "He did the same to me. Injected me with an enhanced serum than the one he gave you."
"Grodd hates Eiling."
"I hate him, too." There was a certain hate on her tone of voice. Then a bright idea came into her mind. "Tell you what. If you help me with this new powers, I will make sure to bring Eiling here and we can get revenge over what he did to us." There was a low growl from Grodd in agreement, and Danielle couldn't help but smirk.
Even if Grodd was still getting used to his own powers, he knew better about them and that really helped Danielle understand hers more. She now could control objects around her with less effort, learned how to stop looking into people's mind without her wanting it and even how to manipulate others into doing what she wanted.
It had been a long day, and she was now exhausted, she wanted to go home and rest. So she called for Harrison, who took longer to arrive. Truth was, he was helping the team back at STAR Labs with Barry going after a fake bomb.
"How did everything went?" He asked like he normally would, though he was still trying to figure out a way to tell her about her father being abducted by both Tricksters.
"Wonderful." She said with a smile, looking back just to realize Grodd was already gone. "He has suffered a lot."
"I tried my best to help him."
"And he is thankful for what you did." She assured him with a small kiss on the cheek, but that's when she realized there was something off. "What is it?"
"Something happened—"Before he could explain, Danielle got into his head to see what happened while she was gone. She saw the way Barry had treated him, their talk, when Barry was after the bomb and the moment Joe told them about Henry. "Barry knows it. He and Joe have their doubts about me, they want to keep it to themselves but it's nearly impossible."
Danielle looked at him before a frown appeared on her face. "Take me to him."
Without hesitating, he grabbed her in his arms as they stormed off to STAR Labs. By now, Danielle was starting to get used to the speed, so she barely felt dizzy this time.
When they arrived, Harrison walked to retrieve his wheelchair, but Danielle didn't wait for him and hurried to the Cortex, where Barry and the others were.
"Where is dad?" All heads turned to her, Barry being the first one to stand up and walk to his sister.
"That's what we are trying to find out." There was obvious hurt and worry on Barry's voice as he tried to reach out for her hand, but she backed away.
"Are you sure about it? Are you sure you're not just standing here to listen and do the opposite to what they tell you? Because that's what you did minutes ago. Because of your stupid stubbornness, dad is with those two psychopaths paying for your mistake. I already lost my mom and I don't want to lose him as well."
Barry, as well as the others, went quiet. They have seen Danielle angry before but this way beyond angry, she was furious at Barry. "Give me a break here, Danielle. I know I made a big mistake, but can't you see I'm paying for it now? This is hard for me too, okay? I lost my mother that night as well, but unlike you, I was there for dad this whole time when you only thought of him as a murderer. Where were you, by the way? Because you were the only one missing here."
Her anger boiled up to the point where she slapped him hard enough to make him stumble, but before she could do anything else, Joe grabbed both Danielle's arms. "You're not a real hero. A real hero would've save his own father from two maniacs. They don't even have powers and they were able to get away? I'm glad Central City has a vigilante who gets the bad guys."
"If you think it's so easy why don't you go and do the work? You have powers now, what's stopping you? Being a hero is not easy, there's things not even I can stop from happening. I want to see you trying to stop someone like Mardon, Bivolo, someone like the man in yellow."
Harrison, who had arrived just before Barry was slapped, curiously looked in between the siblings after the remark Barry had made, but Danielle seemed to not be bothered by it. "You know what? I would be able to stop them all at once. I spent the whole day learning about my new powers, and trust me, they are very powerful. But guess what? I am pregnant, and I won't sacrifice the life of my baby just because the 'hero' here won't get the real job done. So why don't you stop making this about yourself and come up with a way to find dad?"
Feeling anger as well, the scarlet speedster took a step closer to his sister but instead of saying anything, he walked away from the place, leaving the others wondering where he go to. Danielle as well got herself free from Joe's grip, ignoring him calling out for her.
She walked to Harrison's office, walking to stand by the window. Even after the things he said to her brother, she didn't feel bad. It was true, he was not being a hero, he was just being a boy playing to be a superhero.
"Hey." Cisco called out while knocking once on the door. "How are you doing?"
"Been better." Lies.
"That was some…hard stuff you both said to each other." While speaking, Cisco walked to stand in front of her. "You were right, he didn't listen to anything Dr. Wells told him, but he felt terrible."
"I know he did, Cisco, but I feel terrible about it as well. I just woke up and my dad gets kidnapped over a stupid mistake." She huffed at that, making Cisco place a hand on her shoulder.
"We will find him, I promise you." Danielle looked to Cisco and an idea occurred to her, a smirk appearing on her face. "I know that smirk. No, don't even think about it."
"Think about it, C. Barry wants me to prove that I can be better hero than he is, then I save dad."
"You are /pregnant/, this could be a very risky thing to do."
"That's why I have you. Help me locate those two maniacs and where they can be keeping dad. I promise to be careful."
Cisco sighed, moving a hand through his face. "Fine."
Cisco gave her an earpiece to keep communication and a full black domino mask for to cover her face. She was not sure if she wanted to use it, but gave up when he told her about the whole keeping identity secret speech. Danielle then made her way outside to her car, where she waited for Cisco to get the place.
"I got a place, I'll text it to you. We got a situation here."
Just like he told her, there was a text message with a direction to an old warehouse on the east side of Central City. She was nervous to do all this on her own. She knew being the hero was not easy, she had seen it with both Oliver and Barry, but Danielle was determined to show her brother that she could do more than he could.
Few minutes later, she arrived to the place. It didn't look like someone was there recently, making Danielle doubt if it was really the place. She parked not so far, she was not fast and if she needs to escape, she needs her car close.
Being as silent as she could, she made her way to the side of the warehouse. There was a window not so big but she could take a good look inside. There was furniture, few chairs and couches, some candles that were on, and finally, she spotted a chair on the middle of the room with her dad strapped. There was no way to tell if there was someone else around, and even if she didn't want to do it, she took a deep breath and got inside the mind of her dad.
With a sigh, Danielle was able to make her way inside the place. There was no one but her dad. "Who's there?"
"It's okay, you're safe."
"Danielle?!" Just as he asked, she walked to him, revealing her face to him before starting to cut the ropes from his hands. "Get away, there's something on the box." Just as he finished talking, the box open up, knives making their way down.
Her heart was beating hard, her eyes closed. Opening one eye, she looked at her dad, who was closing his eyes as well. She then looked up and noticed the shield she created big enough to cover the both. Henry's eyes opened as well, a face of shock.
"H—how?"
With the shield down, Danielle turned to her father and continued to untie him until he was free. But she didn't respond, she just went ahead and hugged him. "I missed you."
"Danielle, how did you find me? What just happened?"
"Let's go before someone shows up and I tell you all." Henry nodded at his daughter as the both walked to the car, where Danielle began to drive toward STAR Labs. "Dad, I know this might sound weird, but I have mental powers now. Like, I can manipulate things and people with my mind."
"Who did this to you?"
"The man who kidnapped me, General Wade Eiling. He experimented on me, this is not the first time." Her eyes moved to her dad, who still had a confused face. "Dad, it's okay, I'm fine."
"Barry told me you were pregnant."
A smile appeared on her face as she nodded. "I am. I didn't have the time to tell you the good news, but whatever that Eiling injected me did not affect the baby."
"When did you grow up so quickly?"
Danielle's hand reached to grab one of her dad's while they arrived to STAR Labs. The first one to greet them was Harrison, who had a worried look and she knew it was because of her not telling him about her small escape. "Why didn't you tell me about what you were doing? Do you have any idea how risky that was?"
"Babe, I would like you to meet my dad." Harrison's eyes were now on Henry Allen, who was behind Danielle and just noticed. "Dad, this is my fiancé and father of my child, Dr. Harrison Wells."
"Oh!" Henry walked to shake hands with the scientist. "Pleasure to meet you, Dr. Wells."
"Pleasure is all mine."
Just when he said that, there was a fast wind behind them, Barry was there. "Dad!" The both men shared a hug as Danielle walked to Harrison, placing her hands on his shoulders. "I went to the hideout and there was nothing."
"Your sister saved me." Barry looked from his dad to Danielle with a confused look, she couldn't help to give him a cocky smirk. "I was just meeting Dr. Wells."
"I'll give you some private moment." Harrison nodded at both guys and flashed a glare to Danielle, she was getting a whole lecture once they were alone.
"You look good in red." Henry told his son and Barry just smiled.
"I'm sorry I was not there to protect you, for letting those maniacs take you." Barry began but Henry shook his head.
"Barry, I am alive, you shouldn't worry about that anymore." Henry assured him as Danielle looked away from both, but he could sense some tension. "Is there something wrong here?"
"No, everything is fine, dad." Danielle said with a smile, shaking off her thoughts of the moment Harrison and her dad shared. "You should meet the others."
"Come on, I'll introduce them." With Barry and Henry walking to the Cortex, Danielle waited in the entrance.
It was ironic how she just introduced her dad to her mom's real killer, and something inside her made her feel horrible about it. Her dad would return to jail for the crime Harrison, or Thawne, was responsible and only she knew about it.
Her thoughts were once again interrupted to Joe coming back with her dad and Harrison behind them. "It's time to go, my little princess."
"Dad." She said a little embarrassed for Harrison having to hear that, but he simply chuckled.
"I can't tell how thankful I am for you finding me just in time and how happy I am for everything that's happening in your life. I know this new abilities of yours will be used for good." Henry turned from her to Harrison. "Again, thank you Dr. Wells for looking out for both my kids, I owe you."
"There's nothing to be thankful, Dr. Allen."
"Please, call me Henry, Dr. Allen is my daughter." Harrison nodded and Henry turned once again to Danielle. "I love you, take care."
"I love you too, dad." They shared a hug before he and Joe made their way into the elevator.
Danielle sighed, now that her dad was gone, there was only Harrison and her. It was time for her to listen to whatever was that he needed to say.
"I know, I know, I should've let you know about my small 'plan' but it was a sudden idea and Cisco helped me. I am fine, I saved my dad, and now I know I can make shields, so that's a good thing."
"Don't ever do that again. I lost you once and I won't let that happen again. Next time, you tell me so at least I can be ready in case you need anything. This is not for questioning."
"Fine, I'm sorry. I guess I really wanted to prove Barry of what I am capable of." She said while he got up from the chair, Danielle wrapping her arms around his neck. "What if I don't want to be the hero or the villain? Like, just neutral. Some days I can save people, some days I can go against the heroes."
"As long as you don't go against me, I'm fine with whatever you want to be." He leaned to peck at her lips, making Danielle smile.
"For now, I don't want to play any of those games. I want to live a normal pregnancy and that involves no powers unless they really need to be used."
"And you must go to the doctor, check everything is okay and have some ultrasound."
"Yeah, I should do that soon. Will you come with me?"
Harrison smiled while grabbing her in his arms. "What kind of father would I be if I don't go to meet my child?"
With that said, Harrison ran to their house, where they sat in the couch beside the fireplace to enjoy a night watching movies.
Hello, everyone!
