I own nothing, only my OC. x

"You know, I could finish this in a matter of seconds, dear."

"But where's the fun in that? Plus, I want to do something, not just sit on a chair and watch you do all the work."

From the ladder he was using, Harrison glanced over at Danielle. "Would it work if I beg?"

"No, now continue painting that wall." With a defeat sigh, Harrison turned to the wall once again and Danielle couldn't help but chuckle as she placed the paint brush on the floor. "What will we do if the baby turns out to be a girl?"

"Then we buy new clothes and return the ones we have. But I'm sure it's a boy, don't worry, love." With the last part of that wall done, he climbed down next to her.

"You have some paint here." With her thumb being covered with yellow paint, she made the spot on Harrison's cheek bigger. "I think I made it worse." She said with a laugh as Harrison grabbed his own brush and painted one of his fingers.

"Come here." Danielle tried to stop him but failed when her forehead and part of her left cheek were covered in paint. "Now we're even."

"I hate you."

"I love you."

Just as he finished talking, Danielle's phone began ringing with Barry on the ID. "Hey."

"Hey, are you with Dr. Wells?"

Danielle raised an eyebrow while looking at her fiancé, motioning him to stay quiet as she used the speaker. "No, I'm alone. Why, what's the matter?"

"Last night I revealed to Cisco and Caitlin about my suspicions and Cisco said he's been having some sort of dreams involving Dr. Wells admitting to be the Reverse Flash."

Danielle, as well as Harrison, looked at each other with a confused face. "Dreams? What do you mean?"

"He says that while he is checking on the machine we used on Christmas, Wells arrives and confess being him, but he also kills Cisco." There was a small pause as Barry sighed. "I was just with them, including Eddie and Joe. Caitlin still doesn't seem to accept it but Joe and Cisco will travel to Starling City, go to the place where the accident with Tess Morgan happened and see what they can gather."

"If you need anything just give me a call."

"Just stay safe."

With that said, Danielle hung up and looked at Harrison, who was still trying to figure out what was that of Cisco. "Do you have any idea of what he was talking about?"

"No." He said rather serious while speeding to finish painting the whole room, but Danielle said nothing as she didn't want to upset him more.

Leaving Harrison on the room, she walked to their bathroom to wash the paint off her face before going to the bedroom where Harrison was sitting on the bed. "Are you okay?" Danielle asked while taking the wet cloth and walking to him

"Don't worry about me, love." He said with a forced smile.

"I worry about you. What Barry was talking about, you wouldn't kill Cisco, would you? He's been by your side so long." While talking, Danielle sat next to him and moving the cloth to clean his face.

"I'm sure there must've been a reason for me to do such thing." She looked at him, not pleased with his words.

"So if there's a reason for you to kill me, you would do it?"

"Would you?" He returned the question, making Danielle raise an eyebrow.

"What's stopping me?" She pushed him back while getting on top of him. "You killed my mother, that's enough for me to kill you, don't you think? Return the favor."

There was a dark chuckle from him while taking a hold on Danielle's waist and changing position with him on top. "You already had the chance to kill me, don't you remember?" His right hand traveled from her side up until it reached her throat, getting a gentle grip of it. "Maybe I should kill you, another tragedy for your brother. It will be easier for me to get rid of him."

"Even if you had to you wouldn't do it." She said with a smirk as Harrison leaned closer to her, his grip getting tighter.

"I wouldn't?" She simply shook her head and he released a soft chuckle, finally leaning to kiss her but not releasing her throat. "You're right, I wouldn't."

"When the others think of the man in yellow, they think of someone hard, someone tough, just a really cold hearted criminal. Little do they know that he is nothing like that at all, at least not when I'm around." His hand slowly moved from her throat to her cheek, his thumb caressing her soft skin. "Unfortunately, that is a weakness other can take advantage on. Eiling already hurt me, and I'm sure he's not the only one you have a bad relationship with."

"He's not, but I won't let anyone else harm you. Next person to lay a hand on you will suffer and I won't have mercy." It was Danielle who smiled, pulling the man closer to her until her baby bump was the only thing separating their bodies, making her laugh a little.

"Looks like our son is keeping us apart."

"Four more months and he will be with us." Harrison kissed Danielle's cheek before lying next to her, pulling her close to him.

"Time goes by so fast." Her index finger from her left hand traced lines on top of his shirt. There was a small silence before Danielle looked up to Harrison. "Does it scare you? I mean, in just a few more months he will be here. A combination of us will be born and he will live and have a life like you, like me..." Danielle scoffed with a smile. "I'm a Doctor, I saw some cases of pregnant women when they received the news to the moment their baby was born and now it's me who is going through that. I'm so happy and excited, but I'm also scared."

"Why are you scared?"

Her good mood suddenly dropped. She tried not to think about it, but it was impossible. "Forget about it, I'm just tired."

"Danielle, what is it?" Harrison pushed, he knew there was something she wanted to say but was keeping it to herself and he did not like that.

"I already told you, it's nothing."

"Danielle." She could hear in his voice that he was not pleased with her answers, but truth is that she didn't want to say it in fear he would get mad.

Her violet eyes closed as she tried to stop herself from crying but the knot on her throat made it difficult. "I'm scared because this is the first time I'm taking care of a child and this job is not easy. Where will I go the moment I don't know what to do? It's not like there's someone—"

"Is this about your mom?" He cut her, his eyes focused on her as she shakes her head in no.

"I don't want to talk about it."

His right hand reached to grab her chin, making her look directly at him. "Do it, talk about it."

"Don't do this, please."

"Why not?"

"Because I don't want to talk about it! You have any idea how hard it is to know the man you love is your mom's murderer? Every time I look at you I try to ignore it, but it's like there's a voice in my head reminding me who you really are, telling me to just go away. I look at you and the image of how you kill my mom, how you stab her right in the heart before speeding away, plays in my mind. You say you wanted to cause a tragic on Barry's life but you never stopped to think about how that was going to affect me as well. You took away my best friend, the only person I trusted the most."

There was a pause as Danielle tried to stop her sobbing and clean the tears from both her cheeks. "I wish I could hate you, but I love you more than I should and that's what is keeping me from leaving. After all I still think you need someone by your side, someone you can come home to and makes you forget about the rest of the world. And I don't need to read your mind to know that's how you feel when I'm here."

Harrison moved a hand through his face. All she said was something he expected to hear one day, but the last part, she was right. "You're right, I didn't think of you. I was driven by hate towards your brother that I didn't pay attention to you. I'm sorry, Danielle, I really am. I love you, too, and because of that you should get away from me. I don't want to hurt you again and if that means you have to go away, then do it."

"No. I'm still engaged with you and I promised to stay by your side no matter what so that's what I'm going to do. One way or another I will find a way to block those memories but I won't leave you."

"My love, you don't have to do this—"

"I want to, and I will do it. We're a team, remember? We're in this together, so no, I won't leave. From now on no more emotions, we do what we have to do."

A smirk formed on Harrison's lips while grabbing Danielle's face on both of his hands. "Together. Now come here and let me make you forget about this."

…

"I'm glad we could get some time together."

"Please, I always have time for you, Cait." The scientist smiled as both women sat on a free table with their cups of coffee. "But you didn't say what you want to talk about."

"It's…complicated."

"Is this about Harrison?" Caitlin simply nodded while Danielle took a sip of her coffee. "I know it's hard to accept it. You have been working for him for some years now and this can take time."

"It is. We put our trust in him and now this? I still can't believe it." Danielle saw in Caitlin's eyes that she was still hoping for all to not be real because it was the same look she had the first time she discovered the truth. "But I think what's important is how you feel? This must be hard especially for you."

You have no idea, Cait. "I look at him and I only see the man I love, nothing else. I told Barry that I was going to help him but so far, there's nothing." Danielle sighed, looking down at her cup. "I'm afraid he will start losing his mind if he continues and I don't want that to happen."

"You shouldn't be worrying too much, it's not good for you or for the baby." Caitlin's hand rested on top on Danielle's. "We will look after Barry, that's what we do."

"Thanks, Cait, it really means a lot to me." With a nod, Caitlin looked at her phone that began buzzing. "Work calls?"

"Looks like it. Barry says he found a new metahumans. Want to come?"

"Maybe later. I still need to finish the baby's room."

Caitlin said her goodbyes and exited the coffee shop, leaving Danielle alone. After finishing her coffee, she drove not to her house, but to the city limits where Central City ended and the road to Starling City began.

Since the breakdown she had last night with Harrison, Danielle felt like she needed some distraction, something to make her forget about it. The costume Cisco made her was on the back of her car, maybe it was time to have some fun with it, try it and see how good or bad she can be while wearing it.

'Welcome to Starling City' sign welcomed her after a long car ride there. It felt good coming back to the place she grew up to adore while working since the moment she graduated. But it was also coming back to the life she missed without having to worry about the things she left back at Central City.

Maybe Harrison was right, she should leave after all the stuff that was happening or was about to happen. She could come back to this city, rebuild her life here the way it was. But she was not going to be able to bring herself to do it, it was not going to work out since the baby is not far away from being born.

Being still early, her first thought was to visit her old friend back in the hospital, Dr. Richards. Lucky for her, he was still living on the same house. Parking the car, she got out of it and walked to ring on the door. She could hear some heels as they made their way to the door. A young woman with dark, brown hair opened the door.

"Hi, I'm looking for Alan Richards?" Danielle asked and the woman looked at her with curious eyes.

"Who are you?"

"Oh, my name's Danielle Allen, I used to work on the hospital with Alan a year ago. I was wondering if he still leaves here."

"Pleasure to meet you, my name's Julie. Please, come inside, I'll tell Alan you're here." With a small smile, Danielle made her way inside as the other woman told her to sit on the couch.

She glanced around the living room, it was the same but she noticed some toys around the place as well as photos of a child hanging on the wall.

"He will be here in a minute." Julie told her with the same child of the photos on her arms. "Alan told me so much about you it made me want to meet you myself."

"He did? I'm sorry but he never mentioned your name."

"Oh, that's because we met after you left. I'm a nurse and when I got changed into the day job, we met. We got along very well and here we are, married with a kid."

"A lot of things can happen in a year." She said while looking at the child. He was shy, silently siting on his mom's arms. "What's your name, little guy?"

"Mike."

"Mike, huh? You look so much like your father, did you know that?" The boy nodded while holding a finger close to his mouth. "You know, my baby will be born soon and he will be a boy, just like you. Maybe when he's older I'll bring him around and you two can play. Would you like that?"

Once again, the child nodded and Danielle smiled at him. "When are you due?" Julie asked.

"Four more months." Her left hand moved to the top of her stomach as the door from the backyard opened, Alan emerging from it.

"Well, well, look who finally decided to come around."

"I was on town and decided to stop by." Danielle said while getting up and hugging her friend. "I was worried you were no longer living here but I see you're very much set up."

"That's right. But you completely disappeared." He said as they both sat on the couch. "I contacted the hospital not so long ago and they told me you quit."

"Yeah. A lot of stuff happened and I decided to take a break from work for now." She said with an inaudible sigh. "What about you? Still working at the hospital?"

"I am. For now I'm in a small vacations, enjoying my family for now. But tell me about you, what happened in your life?"

And so, Danielle and Alan kept on talking for few more hours. Julie excused herself halfway through the talk as she was attending some sort of event with her friends, leaving the kid with them. Most of the time, it was Danielle playing with him, learning more about the parent life.

The sky was already dark with few stars visible on it. Danielle thought it was time for the real fun to start, so she excused from Alan's home, saying she had to go back to Central City. But her plan was not to return just yet, she had some other business in mind.

With her costume on, Danielle drove around the streets, mostly on the bad side of the city where she knew trouble would be more possible. And she was right. On an alley not so far from where she was, the vigilante known as the Arrow was currently fighting few street thugs who tried to steal a store.

Danielle had to give it to him, he knew how to fight and those thugs were certainly going to feel pain in the morning. But she didn't care, she wanted to prove how long liver was going to be able to handle her.

Placing the mask on, Danielle walked to lean on one of the walls as Oliver finished. "That's the last one of the gang. I eat punks like this for breakfast." The vigilante said using his comm. "Give me something worth it."

"Don't wish what you can't handle, green archer." Danielle's voice was slow and seductive. She didn't want to give away it was her just yet. "Maybe you won't like it."

"Who are you?"

"Why does it matter? You won't be able to stop me anyway." She began to walk around the man, all he did was glare at her through his mask. "What's wrong? You don't hit girls?"

"I have no reason to do it."

Danielle raised an eyebrow. Her eyes landed on one of the thugs near her, kneeling down to grab his blade and moving it to his throat, ready to slice it. "Leave him alone, he's already down."

"And he will wake up just to do the same thing over again. Don't you think it's better to just let him die?" The pointy end of the blade made contact with the skin, a drop of blood dripping down.

"I warned you." Oliver reached out to grab one of his arrow, pointing it directly to Danielle's hand and aiming it, but Danielle created a shield that stopped the arrow from hurting her.

Oliver being confused, aimed another arrow at her, but the shield kept on stopping them. "I already told you: you are not going to be able to stop me."

"Everyone can be stopped, even you."

"I wouldn't be so sure. You see, someone like you who only has a bow and arrow is nothing against me." Another arrow went flying but this time, Danielle mentally stopped it midair and sent it back to him.

"What do you want?" The vigilante asked after dodging the flying arrow.

"Why I don't want anything, dear Arrow. I just want to see how much it takes for you to give up."

"I never give up."

"So you say, but you will eventually give up, and you want to know how I know that? Because I know the man hiding behind the mask."

Oliver's eyes widened a bit, wondering who the mysterious woman could be. Her voice was familiar but at the same time it wasn't, leaving him with the doubt of who could she be.

But he was not going to give up, oh no. He was going to find a way to stop her, even if he had to waste all his arrows on her.

"Don't tell me you're already tired. I expected more from you." Danielle faked a yawn and that made Oliver upset.

He grabbed one of his explosive arrows, aiming not to her but to the ceiling above her. As the arrow exploded, pieces of the cement fell down, creating a dust that covered the part of the alley. Oliver thought that stopped the masked woman, but as the view came clear, a purple bubble appeared and Danielle inside intact.

"I'll ask one more time: Who are you?"

"You know me, Ollie. Or did you forget about me so quickly?" This time, Danielle took her mask off, revealing her face to him.

"Danielle. W-what are you doing here?" He was surprised to see such familiar face, only gaining a smirk from her as she walked closer to him.

"I wanted to see how much the Arrow was able to take." Using her mind, she made Oliver's bow and arrows to fly away from him, leaving him unarmed. "I have to say I'm disappointed."

"I don't understand. Barry never mentioned anything about this."

"Why would you care? It's not like you ever did." Oliver tried to reach out to her, but Danielle stopped him, freezing him in place. "You didn't care when you left me like a puppy you simply didn't have use for."

"Stop. You know I cared and I still do, but you moved on and so did I."

"You're right, I moved on. And I'm glad I did because I love my life right now, and I owe it to you. But that doesn't save you from the pain I want you to suffer." Holding her hand up, an arrow from his quiver flew to her hand. "Barry told me an arrow in your body really hurts, can I test it on you?"

Just as she asked that, the arrow went through his shoulder, Olliver trying his best not to scream in pain. "But I don't want to cause you physical pain, Ollie. Say, you remember years ago being on a boat with your dad, a storm going on and yourself being too drunk? No? Let me give you a little help."

The woman's hands moved to Oliver's head, her mind connecting to his as she dug deep into his memories to bring up the night his father died. She knew it was a painful memory, like the one she has of the night her mother died, but this was about revenge.

As Oliver's head filled with a vivid image of the memory, Danielle noticed the pain in his face even if he always tried to hide it. But she knew him, she knew the way he acts and the way of expressing his feelings.

"I won't say I'm sorry because I'm not. Next time you see my face I want you to remember how much I hate and despise you, Oliver."

Her voice was cold. The Danielle he remembered, the Danielle he saw the last time they were in Central City was not the same. Something changed, and he wondered if it had to do with a certain scientist. "For your own good I recommend not telling Barry about this or next time it won't only be you who suffers."

With that said, Danielle took a step behind and released him from the mental grip she had on him. Oliver, still being shocked, grabbed his bow and arrows, took a short glance at her and finally, climbed away.

…

The road back to Central City felt faster than before. The sunrise followed her all the way home and it was a rather relaxing.

After parking the car on the front, Danielle was surprised to see Lexi sleeping by the front doors. She kneeled to pet her head, making the dog wake up and receive her with such enthusiasm, licking her face.

"Were you here all night waiting for me?" Danielle asked while standing up and pushing the doors open, Lexi following her close behind.

"Nice of you to finally show." Harrison's voice sounded, startling Danielle. "Where were you?"

"Oh, god. Don't do that." She said while placing a hand on the side of her stomach, feeling how hard it was due to the sudden scare.

"I'll ask one more time: Where were you?" Harrison calmly began walking to her, his hands behind his back.

"I was at Starling City." She answered with a simple shrug, walking to the near table to leave her keys and hang her coat. "I was paying a visit to an old friend from the hospital."

"At night?"

"Time flies so fast." She tried to walk to the bedroom to rest for the rest of the day but Harrison trapped her against the wall. "I lost count how many times you have trapped me against the wall."

"Your eyes are bright purple, you used your powers. Don't lie to me, Danielle, you don't want to."

"Fine. I wanted to use my powers so I went to Starling City to mess with the Arrow." She said with a defeated sigh. "But I did visit an old friend, I'm not lying."

"You were the one to agree we were not going to keep things to ourselves, don't blame me." Harrison leaned to softly kiss her lips.

"I don't know. Are you my fiancé or my dad? Because I feel like a teenager who escaped for a few hours and her dad is waiting for her in the living room ready to receive a lecture." She joked, but Harrison moved his hand to the side of her neck.

"You should go to sleep."

"Yes, I am tired. Messing with heroes is tiring." Both of them walked back to the bedroom where Danielle didn't bothered to change into her PJs. "Did you catch the meta-human?"

"We did. Turns out his ability is extraordinary." Lying beside her, Harrison pulled her body closer. "I might have a use for him on a future."

"What does that even mean?" With her eyes closed, Danielle tried to stay just a little more awake, but she was already drifting to sleep.

"Means things are about to change, sooner than I thought." Harrison turned to the redhead, noticing she was already asleep. "And I hope you are ready for what will come, my love, because it's not going to be enjoyable for you."

After placing a small kiss on Danielle's forehead, Harrison removed himself from the bed, going to the kitchen to eat some breakfast before changing into his normal attire, speeding to STAR Labs before everyone else.

It was a normal sunny day in Central City. The clock marked 9 o'clock in the morning, the school bell ringing to let the students know it is time to get into their classrooms.

Just outside the school, a young Danielle Allen talked to her current boyfriend, John Mendez, a high school senior with brown hair and green eyes. Most of the girls on the school were crazy about him, but Danielle was the lucky girl to have him as her boyfriend.

"Come on, Danielle, it's time for class." A young Barry reminded her. He was attending the school next to hers, but always made sure to stay until his older sister was inside the building.

"Go away, Barry, you're going to be late."

"Not until I see you enter the school."

"God, Barry, I'm your older sister, you can't tell me what to do!" Just as she said that, John stepped between the siblings.

"Relax, Bar, we will go inside once you go to your school." The other boy said and Danielle simply rolled her eyes.

"Fine. But if something happens to her, you will pay for it."

Just as the young Barry left for his school, John dragged Danielle outside and near a big tree that could easily cover the both of them from whatever teacher or student that decided to go out.

"So we're skipping class now, huh?" The young girl asked, holding her books close to her chest. "Aren't you afraid the principal will find out?"

"It's all okay, baby, don't worry about that." John's finger traced Danielle's jawline until lifting her chin up. "Or would you rather be in that boring math class with Mr. Brown?"

"Not really, I want to be here with you." Danielle smiled and John leaned to kiss her, his hand moving to her left leg and started to make its way up her skirt. "John! We're in public, you can't do that."

"Why not? You're my girlfriend, I can do whatever I want with you. Or what? Will you run into your foster's dad arms and tell him to arrest me?"

Not so far from both teens, an already known scientist leaned against a tree. His eyes were covered by his shades as he carefully observed the couple. He noticed the boy's intentions and was ready to take action if anything happened, but Danielle was a clever girl, she knew how to defend herself.

Just as John began to push Danielle into letting him touch her, she kicked him in the groin, grabbing her phone to dial Joe immediately. Naturally, the detective didn't take long to arrive, although he was rather upset with his teen daughter for skipping school.

The principal decided to suspend not only John, but Danielle as well for the day. Though it was usual for her to get those kind of suspensions, she was usually the one in troubles.

Eobard, already on Harrison Wells' body, walked opposite to Danielle. Her eyes were focused on the floor, feeling rather angry at what happened. Intentionally, Harrison made the teen bump into him, her books falling to the floor.

"I'm sorry, Mister, I was distracted." Before she could kneel down, Harrison did it and recovered her books, handing them to her with a smile.

"It's okay, young lady. Maybe next time you should be looking up and not down." He said and she grabbed her books, this time stuffing them into her backpack.

"Danielle! Danielle!" Eobard's head turned to the sound of the voice of that boy he despises. Barry was running to them. Always running. "I told you to go to class. Why don't you ever listen to me?"

"What are you even doing here? Go to class, you brat, you can't tell me what to do." Seeing the young boy made Eobard's blood feel like fire. It reminded him of the night he was unsuccessful, the night where he lost it all.

"I just wanted to know if you're okay."

"I'm fine, Barry, now go!" Without hesitation, young Barry ran back into his school.

Danielle noticed the man still being there, which she thought was weird. "That's your brother?" He asked.

"Unfortunately." She said with an annoyed sigh. "Anyway, I'm sorry again, I'll be more careful now."

"For your books, I hope you are." Danielle gave him a smile before walking away in direction to her house.

As she walked away, Eobard couldn't help but feel impatient. Time was going so slow it was hard to keep his plan in motion. Whenever he saw Danielle, he couldn't wait for her to grow up already and have his plan succeed. But he needed to be patient. After all, that's all he had left.

...

Hello, everyone, and welcome to a new chapter of the story!

I know, I know, it's been forever since I uploaded. I'm sorry. This story is not yet over, I'm still continuing it but school takes a lot of my time and it's nearly impossible for me to have time to write. But here's a new chapter. I want to give special thanks to highlander348 for the idea of Danielle fighting Arrow.

Please, be patient with me because I just finished this chapter and have yet to start the next one so I'm not sure until when I will be able to upload it. But don't worry, I will try my best to make it soon since season 2 is almost here. Who's excited? I know I am. New characters are coming and I couldn't be more excited.

Also, I want to clarify that I don't watch Arrow. I'm sorry, I don't like the show, so if this fight occurs while Ollie is not Arrow or whatever that is going on there, I apologize but after all, this is an OC story.

Like I said, I hope I can upload soon. Again, this story will continue no matter how long I take to upload, just be patient. If you have any ideas I always welcome them, so don't be shy if you come up with something and would like me to add it.

Last but not least, welcome to the new readers! I hope your stay here is pleasant. :)

Review and follow. x
