I do not own anything, just my OC. x
Late morning in Central City. The sun was shining, the birds were out singing like always and Danielle was at the CCPDs doorstep. Just earlier, she had a small phone talk with her brother, but both accorded it was better for them to talk in person.
"New case?" Danielle asked while entering Barry's lab where he was gathering some stuff.
"Yeah, a body found at Hudson University. Some professor, apparently." He explained as Danielle made her way to a chair near his computer.
"And you're taking the tests here?"
"I'm just getting some stuff, I'll go to STAR Labs and see what we can get. But that's not important right now." As he was talking, Barry walked to the board, pulling from above a string that revealed all his gatherers from Harrison Wells. "This is all I know from Dr. Wells. But you know him, Danielle, better than anybody else. So I ask you to help me."
"Barry, even if I do decide to help you, what makes you so certain that Harrison is the man in yellow? You do realize who you're talking about here, right? Because you're talking about the man who saved your life, the man who has been a mentor to you and has helped you for the past year."
"You talk like he's nothing to you."
"This isn't about me, this is about you. I know who Harrison is to me, but that is beside the point." Danielle sighed, looking at the board. "Growing up, I didn't believe in your story of some other man being in the house the night mom died, I spent my time hating dad for something he didn't do. Years later I realize I was wrong, that all you said was true. So I'm going to listen to what you have to say this time, brother."
There was a small smile on Barry's face while looking at her. "I know this is not easy, so I appreciate you trying." She simply nodded. "As far as we know, Harrison Wells arrived to Central City 15 years ago, same year mom died."
"After Tess Morgan died in the accident. He came here to forget all about it and start a new life."
"Yes. 15 years later he creates the particle accelerator that will turn me into the Flash. He admitted in public that Hartley warned him about something going wrong, yet he didn't give it importance."
"So you're saying Harrison wanted the particle accelerator to blow up? You think he wanted to kill so many people that night just so you could become a speedster? That doesn't even makes sense."
"Maybe he didn't know the amount of damage it could make. But thanks to that explosion, I got my powers." Danielle's eyes, where she was wearing green lenses to cover her now violet pupils, met Barry's blue one. "Joe said he wants something from me, but I don't know what it is." 'I do, Barry, I do know what he wants from you.' Danielle thought. "You have the ability to get into his mind, why don't you do it? This will be much easier."
"I will try my best but I can't promise much." Barry moved to embrace his sister in his arms as she returned the hug. She wanted to feel bad but nothing happened, she felt neutral.
"I'll head to STAR Labs now, wanna come?"
"Actually, I have an appointment at the doctor. Please, remind Harrison about it?" Barry simply nodded and took off running.
With her brother gone, Danielle turned to the board once again. Most of the information there was from his book, which she still haven't read. Joe and Barry were right about everything, they were smart enough to figure it all out before she even could.
Shaking her head, Danielle followed to go back to her car, where she drove to the other hospital in town just in time before her appointment began. Not so far, Harrison made his way, using his car this time instead of his speed.
"First time parents?" Dr. Blake, a middle-aged, blonde woman asked while placing the gel on Danielle's stomach.
"Yes, first time." Danielle answered as the cold gel made her shiver a bit, Harrison moved his wheelchair closer to take a hold on Danielle's hand.
"Very well, let's see how this little baby is doing." Dr. Blake began to move the transducer around Danielle's stomach, trying to find the heartbeat. It didn't take her long before they began to hear it. "As you can hear, the heartbeat is quite strong. I have to say, for 17 weeks, your baby is really big." The Doctor stopped for a moment, taking a closer look to the monitor. "It's not very clear yet, but there's more chance of your baby being a boy."
Danielle looked from the monitor to Harrison, a big smile on her face as he kissed her hand. "So everything is going fine?" Harrison asked. The Doctor quickly tuned to the man and Danielle took a closer look to her.
"Yes, everything is fine, Dr. Wells." The way of saying that made Danielle raise an eyebrow. While Harrison simply nodded, Danielle got into the Doctor's mind, making her grit her teeth.
"Anything else, Dr. Blake?" She asked with her normal voice but her eyes told Harrison otherwise.
"With the size of your baby, I would recommend taking a side sleeping position, it's more comfortable. If there's anything you need, here's my number." The blonde woman got up from her seat, turning the machine off and handing Danielle paper to clean herself while handing a card with her name and phone to Harrison before stepping out.
Danielle couldn't help but feel anger building up on her. "Is everything alright, my love?"
"I'm sitting right here with your baby on my womb and she still flirts with you?! Oh, she is so dead." Before Danielle could get up, Harrison gently pushed her back.
"Are you jealous over a Doctor giving us her number in case you need something?" He asked with a chuckle, but Danielle didn't find it funny.
"You say that because you didn't get into her mind just to listen to the nasty things she was thinking."
"Here." Harrison got up from the bed and walked to the near trash can, throwing the card inside of it before walking back to her. "Happy now?"
With a scoff, Danielle smiled at him while pulling her blouse down and getting up, gathering her purse. "Yes, happy."
"Come on, let's go."
With Harrison back on the wheelchair, both walked to the reception on pay and to get the photos of the ultrasound. Harrison was the first one to leave to STAR Labs, asking Danielle to join him but she said that maybe later.
Being once again on her car, Danielle drove to the near mall. She parked not so far from the entrance, where she walked in, going directly to the baby store. There was a lot of stuff around the place, a lot of clothes plus furniture. She walked to where the cribs were, taking a look at the different types.
"You are bigger than the last time I saw you." A voice called behind her, making Danielle turn around to see her old hospital colleague.
"Tony!" She said with a big smile while hugging the man. "What brings you around?"
"Well, I was walking from the other side when I saw you. How you been? You never said goodbye at the hospital."
"I know. Some stuff happened and I decided it was best to take some rest." Tony raised an eyebrow at her as in for her to tell him more about it. "I'm fine, that's all that matter, no?"
"I'm glad you're fine, but everyone misses you at the hospital. You loved your work, your patients…this must have been something big to make you take that decision."
Danielle looked at her friend. He was someone she trusted, but trust him into telling everything that happened could be too much. "I was used like a human experiment and was in a coma for two months. There."
"Human experiment? What do you mean?" Tony asked confused, but Danielle kept on walking to take a look at the cribs.
"Some General injected me with a serum he created to enhance his soldiers with mental capabilities."
Tony stopped, a terrified look on his face. "Why would someone do something like that?"
"There's good and bad in this world, Tony, and some people likes to make sure others suffer because they didn't get what they wanted." Danielle stopped by a beautiful, medium length, and dark brown crib. "This is perfect."
"Wait, don't change the subject. You have to explain better because I'm not following." She sighed while looking around to make sure there was no one near them.
"The reason General Eiling kidnapped me and used me was because he wanted to find a way to hurt Harrison. They have a past where Harrison shut down his experiment since he was using an inhuman method. Eiling came back, found out about me and ta-da, he now has a way to hurt him."
Tony was silent as Danielle asked for a shop worker to give her the crib she wanted. "This serum you talk about, what did it do to you?"
"You won't leave me be if I don't tell you, huh?" Tony simple shook his head in no and she chuckled. "I can read minds, move objects with my mind, create a mental shield, control people, and apparently there's more but I still have to discover the rest." Danielle looked at Tony but he was focused on looking at the ground. "I know it's hard to believe, but—"
"Are you kidding? The Flash lives in this city, don't you remember? It's not hard to believe."
"Yeah, the Flash." She mumbled under her breath while they walked to the clothing section. "So there you have it, that's the reason I want to take a break from work. Luckily, the serum did not affect my baby and I want to live a normal and quiet pregnancy."
"I guess that's understandable." He said while looking at the small clothes around them. "So you know what will it be?"
"Doctor said there's a chance that it will be a boy, and that's what I felt will be." She said while picking a variety of bodysuits and sets. "They are all so cute."
"You still have five months ahead." He said while helping her with the clothes.
"I know, I know. But I can't help it." She said with a wink before walking to the front of the store to pay for the crib and the clothes.
"I'll help you get the crib to the car." Tony offered once an employee got the huge box to them.
After paying, Tony carefully grabbed the box as they walked to the car. Danielle hurried to open the trunk, which barely fit the box inside. "It was nice seeing you, Tony. I promise to keep contacting you."
"Do please do that, woman. I don't want the next time I see you, you have that baby in your arms already." That made Danielle laugh as they shared a hug. "Please, be careful. Your secret is safe with me."
"Thank, Tony."
"Give my regards to Dr. Wells!" Danielle waved at him as she got inside the car and he walked back to the mall.
With everything set, Danielle drove to STAR Labs. She was just getting out of the elevator when Cisco ran to her. "Come with me."
"Oh, uh, okay."
The both walked toward one of the rooms in the other side of the Cortex. Cisco closed the door and turned the light on. There was a box in the middle of the table in front of them. Danielle looked at him with a questioning look but he motioned her to open it.
Inside, there was a long sleeved bodysuit with an 8 point star opening in the middle of the chest, a pair of gloves that covered her hands, and a pair of knee high boots. They were all a dark purple colour.
"The bodysuit adjusts to your body so it's not too tight in your stomach." Cisco said while Danielle closed the box and turned to him.
"Cisco, did you tell anybody about this?"
"No. And I know it's risky, but we can use the help around." He said while scratching the back of his neck. "So, you like it?"
Danielle chuckled at him. "I like it. It combines with my eyes."
"I knew it!" Cisco said with a big smile on his face.
"Here, take it to the car." Danielle threw her keys to him and Cisco grabbed the box before going out.
Danielle then finally made her way to the Cortex, where Harrison was placing a now framed ultrasound picture on the computer he usually uses. He smiled at her when she walked to him.
"Looks good." She said while sitting on his lap.
"Where were you?"
"I took the liberty to buy a crib and some clothes for our son." She said while wrapping an arm around his shoulders. "Hope you don't mind."
"It's fine." He assured her with a small smile as Danielle felt her stomach growl.
"Hn' can we order some pizza? Your baby is starting to feel hungry."
Harrison chuckled, adjusting his glasses. "Anything you want, my love."
"Mm can I have you instead?" She asked while leaning close enough for their lips to brush against each other.
"Caitlin is still here, and Cisco could be here any second." Danielle ignored his words, her lips making their way to his neck.
"I promise to be quiet." She whispered at his ear, bringing a smirk to his lips.
"Kinky." They shared a passionate kiss but were then interrupted by some clicking heels.
"Now I know what Cisco felt like in these situations." She said, making the couple laugh a little.
"Feel like what?" It was now Cisco's turn to enter the Cortex.
"Walking into Ronnie and me."
"Don't remind me." He said with a shiver as Danielle finally got up from Harrison's lap.
"Anyway, I'm ordering some pizza. Anyone want?"
"Now you're talking." Cisco said and Danielle smiled, grabbing her phone from her pocket and dealing the number.
While waiting for an answer on the other line, she could hear a buzzing near. Not paying much attention to it, she simply moved her hand to get the buzzing go away but then, the bee began to fly in front of her face. Saying no word, she began to slowly move her hand down and began to back away.
"Dan?" Caitlin was the one to ask, looking at the rather unusual act from her friend.
"Oh. Oh, no. Bee." Cisco said, alarming them all but as she kept backing, the bee followed her. "Come here slowly."
Just like Cisco told her, Danielle moved to him. Being close enough, Cisco grabbed the extinguisher and fired toward the bee, giving Danielle enough time to run toward the back of the Cortex.
"What's the deal with that bee?" She asked as Caitlin and Cisco tried to spot the bee.
"Killing bees. A sting means you're dead." Harrison explained and she nodded.
She could hear the buzzing in the distance, but the bee was nowhere in sight. "I'll call Barry!" She told them while going to the hallway. Once she was far from the entrance, she leaned her hand on the wall, but there was a beeping sound and a sudden door appeared in the middle of it. Curiously, the former green-eyed woman walker inside.
"Evening, Dr. Allen." A computerized voice called out for her, startling her. "What can I do for you today?"
"Who are you?"
"My name's Gideon. I'm an interactive artificial consciousness." Cautiously, Danielle walked to where the face was coming out.
"What is this place?"
"We are at Scientific and Technological Advanced Research Labs, better known as STAR Labs."
"No, I know that. I mean; what is this room?"
"I'm afraid I don't understand the question." Danielle raised an eyebrow. So much for artificial consciousness, she thought. Ignoring the computerized face, she walked to the wall on her left to where the wall brought up what looked like a glass with stuff inside. To her surprise, there was the Reverse Flash suit. So this was a hideout for Harrison to sneak at?
From the corner of her eye, she noticed the face disappearing and being replaced by some article from the paper. 'Flash missing. Vanishes in crisis with a photo of her brother in the red suit, though this one had a different chest logo. "By Iris West-Allen." She read out loud. "The Flash, with help from Starling City's Green Arrow, The Atom, and Hawkgirl…" Her brows knitted together in confusion. That's when she noticed the date, 2024. This was an article from the future, a future where Iris marries Barry, where Oliver is now Green Arrow, and there's a name of apparently a hero she did not recognize.
Being confused as she was, she decided better to get out and talk about this with Harrison later. To her surprise, not only Barry was around but Felicity and some other guy was there as well, but she didn't recognize him.
"Well, looks like there's enough help here tonight." She said while walking to Harrison. "I'll go home, see if I can start putting the crib together."
"Want me to help you?"
"Don't worry, they need you here." After saying that, Danielle leaned down to kiss him before starting to head out.
The road home was fast, since there was no traffic to keep her. She parked the car in the front door, opening both doors and turning the lights on before opening the trunk of the car. Since the box was heavy, she decided to try and use her powers. The first try was not successful, the box dropping into the ground. She then took a deep breath, concentrating all her energy on the box.
"Come on, come on."
Just like a simple feather, the box lifted up in the air, making Danielle smile in success. She carefully walked from the doors into the hallway and finally into the bedroom. The box dropped to the ground and Danielle then went back to get the other bags before closing the doors.
From the kitchen, she retrieved a knife to open the box and take the pieces from the crib outside. She looked around, this was going to be hard. The walls were yet to be painted, but that was going to be Harrison's work to finish it faster. For now, she had to start putting the pieces together.
. . .
It's been almost two hours since Danielle began to work on the furniture. She was getting tired, but that didn't stop her. While being at the kitchen giving Lexi some water and food, the doorbell rang. Weird, who could be there at such hour? Looking from the window, she noticed Joe's police car parked behind hers, so she went ahead to open the doors.
"Joe, what a surprise to see you here." She greeted him while stepping aside to let him in.
"I was near and since Barry told me you were here, I decided to stop by." Danielle began walking back to the bedroom while Joe looked around the place. "Busy?"
"Trying to put the crib together. It's harder than it looks." She said with a low sigh. "Can I offer some water, coffee, dinner?"
"No, no, I'm fine." He moved to what Danielle had advanced on the crib, trying to figure out what he can do. "Maybe I'll give you a hand here. What did the doctor said?"
"That everything is going okay and there's a high possibility that the baby will be a boy." She dragged the chair near, sitting down on it.
"That's a relief. Imagine having a girl and turning out to be just like you? Lord have mercy on us." Joe joked and Danielle couldn't help but laugh. "I'm glad everything is okay."
"Yes. I'm glad that whatever Eiling did to me didn't affect in anything." Her hands moved to her stomach, a small smile forming on her lips. "But I don't need to read your mind to tell that you're here for something, Joe."
"Barry talked to me about what happened on his lab. We both were blind by what happened that night, we both believed Henry Allen was the one to kill your mother." He began but didn't stop working on the crib. "You're both my kids and I want nothing but the best for you. I just want to remind you that my house will always be there for you. We won't do anything against Wells just yet, but when the time comes, there's a place for you to stay."
"Thanks, Joe, I really appreciate your words. But don't worry, if anything, I know Harrison is not capable of hurting me. You and Barry worry too much, I know how to protect myself."
"I don't doubt you can, but if Wells is the man in yellow, then he is capable of a lot of things." Danielle looked from him to the ground, biting the inside of her cheeks. Just there, she heard the front doors opening once again, he was home.
Joe stood up almost immediately, both walking toward the entrance. "Detective, to what do I owe this surprise?"
"Doctor." He greeted back. "Just passing by to check on Danielle."
Harrison nodded, moving the wheelchair closer to them. "A glass of wine, Detective?"
"Thank you, but I was already on my way out." Joe turned to Danielle once again to kiss her cheek. "I'm glad everything is okay with the baby. If there's any help you need with the crib or anything else, don't doubt calling."
"Thanks again, Joe."
Joe nodded to Harrison before walking to the entrance and make his way home, leaving Danielle with Harrison alone. He placed the wheelchair by the entrance as Danielle served herself a glass of water.
"How did everything went? Did you catch your mad scientist?"
"Yes, we did. No more killing bee robots." He wrapped his arms around her waist, bringing her back to his chest. "Had fun building the crib?"
Daniele chuckled, taking a sip of the glass. "Not even half way done. Joe was helping but still not done."
"Don't worry, we can continue tomorrow. You should rest now." He kissed the top of her head as she placed the glass on the counter, turning around to face him.
"You know, after being almost attacked by the bee, I came across a room in the hallway which I swear wasn't there before. I was greeted by 'Gideon'." Harrison tensed a little, looking away from her. "I thought you were going to tell me everything. No more secrets, remember? That's why I decided to stay with you. Now I know this is not much of a big secret but you still should've mention it."
"I know, I'm sorry but I didn't think it was necessary for you to know." He tried to reason, but Danielle crossed her arms.
"Any more secrets you thought weren't 'necessary' for me to know?"
"I swear that's the only one." He said while grabbing her face on his hands, kissing her lips softly. "Now, let's go and rest."
Hello, everyone!
I know, I know. It's been a while since I uploaded a chapter but there's a lot of stuff going on and vacations are already over for me so I found it difficult to write. But here it is. In my opinion, this episode with the bees was one of the worst ones from the season, reason why I found it hard getting muse to write.
Anyway, I hope you like the suit Cisco made for her. As for the name, I'm still trying to figure out which one could it be but given the circumstances, I don't think she'll be out and make herself known on CC just yet. Probably on season 2? Who knows, but suggestions are still open.
Highlander348.- Lol that idea is so funny, I will make sure to use it and later on she will use her powers on Ollie, not for a good reason, that I can assure. As for the suit: I was planning on adding a cape but probably until later. A short one is perfect. And for the name: There's already a character in DC named Vixen and she will come to CW, animated, but still. Cobalt reminds me of Cobalt Blue and if you know who he is, then it wouldn't make sense for Danielle to use it. Argent could be an option.
BellaBloor.- I do say chapters, don't I? But yeah, they are chapters, not episodes.
Like always, reviews are welcome. x
