I don't own anything, just my OC. x
"Hello?"
"You need to get to STAR Labs now. Don't ask questions just do it."
11:42 in the morning. Danielle was enjoying some time on her own, relaxing by the Jacuzzi with instrumental music on the background. Her red hair was wrapped on a messy bun to keep it away from the water, her face covered in a light green avocado mask. Her small encounter with Oliver had left her quite exhausted. Not physically, but mental.
When her phone began ringing she did not want to answer it but Barry had been insisting on text messages for her to pick up, that he had something important to show her.
"Barry, I'm in the Jacuzzi enjoying a relaxing time for myself. Can't this wait?" She asked in an annoyed tone of voice.
"It can't, Danielle. Please, just get here as soon as you can."
Danielle sighed, there was no point on arguing just now. "Fine. Just give me some minutes to get ready."
After saying that, she hung up. He never said what was so important that required her attention, but she figured it was something that had to do with Harrison.
It probably took her 15 minutes to finish getting ready. She was not looking forward to go out today and the thought of still being in the Jacuzzi made her groan as she turned the car on. The traffic was quick, so it was a matter of few minutes until she got to STAR Labs.
"Barry?" She asked while leaving her purse on the main computers at the Cortex. There was no sign of anybody being there, which she thought was odd. "Hello, anybody here?"
"Danielle, here. Quick." Barry appeared on the end of the corridor. His face was of complete shock.
"What is it?"
"We found something." He simply said while taking her to the same place she found out not so long ago. "I know this can be confusing, but you have to see it."
Her eyebrows came together to form a frown, yet she said no word. As the door appeared, she noticed both Cisco and Caitlin already inside. No one dared to say a thing, they simply moved to the side to show Danielle the wall where the suit is.
Barry, on the other hand, looked closely at his sister. She showed confusion, the same look he had when they found the place. "I think we know what this means." Barry said.
"I just don't understand why someone so smart like Dr. Wells would have a secret place somewhere everyone comes into." Cisco spoke this time.
"Maybe he didn't count on us finding it." Cait said with a shrug.
"No, he wanted this place to be found. He wanted us to find it." It was Danielle who spoke this time, her eyes stick to the suit even though this was no news for her. "But this doesn't prove anything."
"What? The suit is right there, can't you see it? It's obvious Dr. Wells is the man in yellow and he's been keeping it under our noses all the time."
"You can't tell that's his suit. What if he's keeping it for someone? For the real Reverse Flash, huh?"
Barry turned to the other two as if looking for them to help her. "Well, she can be right. We can't know for sure." Caitlin said trying to help her friend.
"Guys, you're forgetting about my dreams." Cisco said and all eyes fell on him. "Dr. Wells admits to be the Reverse Flash."
"But they're just dreams, it's not enough to prove." Danielle said while walking out of the room, followed by the others close behind.
"What if there's a way?" Cisco said again as they arrived to the Cortex. "What if Danielle gets into my mind as I go back to that memory and then we be 100% positive about this?"
There was a small silence. Danielle knew this was not going to be a good idea since she still felt weak from the other night, but still decided to accept. "Fine. We do that, but I can't promise much since I don't fully know how to get into people's mind."
"Now?" Barry asked as Cisco sat on one of the chairs and Danielle dragged one close to him.
"Now." She responded.
As Cisco leaned back, he closed his eyes, trying to find some relaxation. Caitlin looked over at Barry, who gave her a simple nod to let her know it was going to be okay. But Danielle wasn't so sure about it. She was barely getting a hold of the things she was able to do and now getting into someone's head to see their dream was something that sounded hard to do.
"Just try to remember what you can and hopefully I will see whatever is that you do. Also, don't speak, okay?" Danielle asked Cisco, who nodded. "Okay, let's try it."
Her hands moved to both sides of Cisco's head, both thumbs pressed against his forehead. Her eyes closed, thinking that would help her see better. At first it was like some blurry image, it was downstairs with the machine they used to trap the Reverse Flash on Christmas.
"Cisco is currently down on the machine, I can't clearly see what he's doing." She began telling. "There's the Reverse Flash, but it looks like a hologram. Harrison just walked in, saying something about being the reverse of Barry…"
Her eyes opened, her hands back to her lap and Cisco looking at her. "I don't think I can do this." Danielle said without looking at them.
"Hey, it's okay. We'll find another way." Cisco assured her, a hand on her shoulder.
"There might be another way." Caitlin finally spoke. "What if we create some goggles that will induce Cisco into a dream mode and he gets to revive that moment?"
"That sounds like a better idea." Danielle agreed, standing up from the seat. "Now if I am of no other use, I'll go back home."
"I'll walk you." Waving at the other two, both Barry and Danielle walked outside the Labs. Danielle didn't want to deal with her brother further into the day, she just wanted to be on her own for now and he was pushing into being with her.
"You know I can take care of my own, right?"
"I know, it's just that I would feel better if you were back on Joe's house, where I can know you're safe."
There was a sigh as Danielle moved a hand through her hair. "Look, Barry, I know you're worried about me but you shouldn't. I already told you that no matter what, Harrison is not capable of hurting me. I know how to defend myself if anything happens but if you want to feel better, you will be the first person I will call if I need help, okay?"
"Okay." Barry leaned to embrace his sister in a warm hug, but she only gave him a pat on the back. "Take care, sis."
…
"I tell you, they want to catch you,"
After a long, and relaxing day, Danielle stood by the kitchen corner as her fiancé prepared himself some strong beverage, closely listening to the things Danielle was talking about.
"Caitlin suggested the make of some googles that induce Cisco into a dream mode. That way he can remember everything how it exactly happened." Her eyes searched for her phone on the back pocket, looking for the image of the googles they made and showing it to Harrison.
"I saw them working on them earlier." He said while taking a sip from his whiskey. "Hopefully the idea I gave them will help them finish the project."
"Wait, you're actually helping them catch you?"
"Not exactly, my dear. I have an advantage, and that's you." His free hand lifted Danielle's chin to look directly at her. "You already saw part of Cisco's dreams."
"It wasn't much." She shrugged. "If you're trying to get yourself caught, then why don't you just go with them and confess everything? Would be easier."
"I'm not getting caught." He responded in a rather hard tone. "I'm just letting them think they caught me, give them a small moment of glory."
Danielle's arms crossed, raising an eyebrow at him. "Oh, really? And how are you going to do that?"
"With the help of our new shapeshifter meta-human." His mischievous smirk appeared on his face while looking out of the window. "Once Barry puts him in the pipeline, I go with him and promise to release him if he does a little favor."
"He turns into you, they think it's really you and then we win?"
"Simple as that." He turned once again to face Danielle, who had an uncertain look on her face. "And then we make them think I kidnapped you, making it look more real."
"So now I have to play the damsel in distress here?"
"Just for them to believe it. After all, you will be safe and sound in here, away from the danger."
"You sound just like Barry." She said with a scoff. "So when you decide to go against my brother once again I don't get to be there backing you up?"
There was a chuckle as Harrison took a grip of her chin. "Oh, my love, you will be there. But your brother is just mine to kill."
"I don't like sharing." Her hands moved to wrap around his neck, bringing their bodies together. "But fine. While you have your fun with my brother, I'll be with Grodd planning our way to make Eiling suffer."
"Looks like we both will have a lot to do, then."
"Looks that way." Danielle said with a smile and backed away, walking toward the bedroom to change into her night clothes.
She turned on the lamp of her side, clapping twice to turn the bedroom's lights off, leaving the room half dark. She placed her glasses on, sitting down on her side of the bed and getting inside the sheets, taking a book from the nightstand on her right.
Her eyes moved from one side to the other, taking in the words she was reading. But her attention was taken away from the book, feeling the movement of her son inside of her. Placing the book on the side, Danielle uncovered herself from the sheets the moment she felt a kick. Her hand quickly moved to where she felt the kick as the other pulled her shirt up. She was amazed by the moment.
"Harrison, come here!" She shouted and was soon joined by the blue eyed man, who thought something bad happened.
"What? What happened? Are you okay?"
"I'm fine. Give me your hand." Confused over her request, he moved closer to her while holding his hand up, letting her take it and guide it to the side of her stomach. Almost as soon as his hand was placed, there was another kick coming from the baby.
"Looks like someone has finally decided to stop being lazy." He said while leaning closer, placing a soft kiss where he felt the kick. Danielle couldn't erase the smile of her face, seeing her man act so loving toward their child.
"We need to start thinking of names." She said while pulling her shirt down and the sheets up again.
"I already have one." Danielle raised an eyebrow for him to say it. "Thaddeus. Thaddeus Thawne."
"Thaddeus," She repeated, nodding once. "It's a very unique name, I like it."
"Then it's settled." Harrison leaned to kiss her before moving to his side of the bed, laying down after taking his own glasses off. "You should be sleeping, love, it's already late."
"Did you hear that? Your father already said it's time to sleep, no more kicking." Danielle said as if talking to her baby and just like if he was listening, she received another kick in response. "You little rebel."
Harrison couldn't help but chuckle, pulling Danielle closer to him and placed a kiss on her head. "I love you."
"I love you too, babe."
…
Late morning. Danielle received a call from her brother asking if he could stop by her house for a talk, and even if she didn't want him near the house, she accepted. After making some homemade pizza, the doorbell ringed and she answered.
"Hey, sis." Barry greeted her with a hug, which she returned. "Smells delicious."
"Well, since you were coming, I decided to make some pizza, just like the one grandma used to make." Both sibling walked to the kitchen, Barry helping set up the table as Danielle took the pizza out of the oven.
"It was her favorite thing to do whenever we visited her." Barry said with a smile and both sat down. "How are you doing?"
"I'm fine. The baby is starting to kick, I was surprised last night by it."
"A runner, just like his uncle." 'And his father.' Danielle thought. "What about you? How are you feeling in general?"
"Tired, swollen, but its normal during pregnancies." She shrugged while serving spaghetti on their plates and finally started eating. "What about you?"
"Anxious. I can barely sleep at night but at least we already captured the meta-human." He took a sip of his water and Danielle watched him closely. "I actually came here to talk to you about something the guys and I planned."
"I'm listening."
"Since Caitlin's idea worked on Cisco, we decided to set a trap for Dr. Wells by recreating Cisco's dreams. The only different thing is that we all will be there in case something happens and ready to catch the moment he confess killing mom."
There was a pause as Danielle looked down at her plate, taking in everything her brother was talking about. "And you want me to be there or…?"
"No, of course not. Joe said it's better for you to be at his house, hiding in case something goes wrong. There'll be two of Joe's most trusted officers near in case you need them, but I'm sure you won't."
"What I tried with Cisco left me exhausted. My powers still take most of my energy and right now it's not easy to do that when there's a human being growing inside of me." Even if she wanted to laugh at her own lie, Danielle kept a serious face. "Fine, I'll be at Joe's house and lock myself in the bedroom. I don't think Harrison is coming back here so I should be able to get there without him knowing."
Barry sighed in relief, setting his fork down and moving his hand to place it on Danielle's left shoulder. "This is going to be hard, Danielle. I don't want you to get hurt, it's my turn to protect you this time. I won't lose anyone to that man, especially not you."
"Don't worry, brother, you won't."
After Barry was gone, Danielle immediately contacted Harrison to let him know the details of the plan. Just like he planned it, the shape shifter meta-human was going to become handy in the plan.
As the hours went by and the plan in STAR Labs took place, Danielle arrived at Joe's house and eventually, there were two police officers waiting for her.
"Evening, ma'am. I'm Officer Walker and this is my partner, Officer Lewis. We will be here in case you need something."
Danielle smiled at both black haired officers, her hand reaching to the hat of the Officer who introduced them. "You guys been on this work for a while?"
Officer Walker glanced at his partner and then he nodded. "Yes, ma'am, five years already."
"And have you heard of the things that happen recently in Central City?" Once again, the Officers shared looks, the second one nodded.
"They say there's people with special talents around the City."
"And do you believe it?" The officer just nodded. "Good, because it's all true and this job will get you in troubles with them."
"Ma'am, I don't think I follow…"
Before the officer could finish talking, fast wind appeared and both men were on the ground. Danielle chuckled and placed the hat on the ground as Harrison stopped behind her, taking the mask of his suit off.
"For someone who runs fast you are really late." She said while turning to him.
"Had to make sure our fake Harrison Wells got it all right." He offered his hand and Danielle took it, both speeding away toward a tall building. "Let's get this show started."
"I told you this before. I am always one step ahead…Flash. Allow me to reintroduce to you Mr. Hannibal Bates and his incredible ability to transform into any person he touches. I knew that ability would come in handy. I did not expect it to come in handy this soon." He chuckled.
"You used him! Like you used all of us!" Barry shouted from the other side of the radio.
"Well, he served a purpose. Didn't take much convincing, just the simple promise of his freedom."
"You ruined my life! All our lives!"
"We stood by you after everything that happened." Caitlin said this time.
"I can see how this must be difficult for you to understand, but trust me, your lives nor are so much better because of what I have done for you."
"You don't have to hide anymore. We know you're not Harrison Wells. Just tell us who you are." Joe asked.
"A confession will get you nowhere. You've seen who I am. You know what I can do."
"You want to kill me, go ahead. I'm not gonna fight you. But just tell the police what you did. Get my dad out of prison!"
"I don't want to kill you, Barry. I need you. And…I also did not anticipate, as difficult as the past 15 years have been for me, how much I would come to love working with you. With all of you. And yet, that does not change what needs to happen."
"Then face me now!"
"Oh, we will face each other again. I promise you. Soon. Very, very soon." He motioned Danielle it was time for the whole act and she nodded. "But I wouldn't recommend anything, Flash. You see, while you were so busy with the fake Harrison Wells, turns out I managed to locate your sister. Sloppy to let her stay somewhere I knew she would be, and those police officers? They were easy to take down."
The line went quiet, no one from the other side dared to speak as Barry moved a hand through his hair. "Where is she?" He finally asked.
"Would you like to say hi, darling?"
"Barry! Barry, please, you need to help me! Please!" Danielle shouted in cries for help before Harrison softly placed a hand on her mouth to make it appear she was being held captive.
"You would think she got used on getting kidnapped." His hand moved away from her mouth, wrapping an arm around her shoulders.
"Let her go!" There was obvious anger on Barry's voice, but that only made Harrison smirk.
"Don't worry, Barry, no one will hurt her…for now." After saying that, the line went dead. Danielle looked up at the man and chuckled.
"He totally bought it."
"Of course he did." Harrison said rather proud while taking Danielle down to the house they rented for the meantime. "I still have unfinished business to attend, don't wait for me."
"Be careful." With a last kiss, Harrison sped to catch on his relative as Danielle got inside the small house.
This was it, there was no turning back. She made her decision to stay by the side of the man she loves, nothing else matters. Even if deep inside she felt she made the wrong decision, she decided to ignore it. After all, things were intended to change, everyone changes.
Hello, everyone!
Finally, a new chapter. I know it might be kind of lame, but I really want to get to the last two episodes of the show, they will be very exciting. Have you guys watched the new season? What do you think about it? In my personal opinion, it's going okay but there something missing from it, it feels empty. I can't wait for the real Harrison Wells to appear more and for us to know who Zoom really is.
Anyway, this chapter reveals a big thing. If you read comics and/or know who Thaddeus Thawne is, welp, I kind of gave him a new backstory here and I really hope you guys like the idea as much as I did.
Welcome new readers, you made me want to update this story sooner so you can continue enjoying it. Reviews are welcomed, as well as PM in case you want to ask me something or don't want to go public. x
WinterRain36.-Yeah! My idea for this season is for her to be more bad than hero. Her code name is yet to be decided since she was only out to mess with Ollie but I think she will need one soon. If you have any suggestion, feel free to suggest. And be sure there'll be more of her powers involved. Thanks for reading!
Darniece.- Hi, thanks for reading the story but I'm afraid I won't get to the point where Harrison harms her in any physical way because that's not the way he is. I appreciate your idea but I don't think I can do that, sorry.
