I do not own anything, just my OC. x

Waking up to an empty bed was already normal, waking up alone to the bed she used to share with him was something new. Few months ago she would wake up and see his face, peacefully sleeping and waiting for a morning kiss. Now, there was just an empty space and the sheets done.

She glanced at the clock on the nightstand, it marked 8:22 in the morning. She didn't feel like getting up yet, but there was a job she needed to get back and people to visit. So Danielle didn't have any other choice but to get up and do her morning routine.

The first place she drove to was the hospital. Apparently, something big happened because there were two ambulances waiting in the entrance and nurses quickly moving to get the wounded people. She wondered what could've cause those people to get injured, but she was probably going to know about it in the news.

"Today must be my lucky day. I get promoted and now I get to see you." Tony greeted his old friend on the floor both used to work at. Danielle felt an immense relief to see him.

"Promoted, huh? Looks like you are getting really busy around here." They both shared a small hug, Danielle kissing the man's cheek.

"You can say that." He said rather proud. "I read what happened on the news…I'm sorry for your loss."

"Yeah, thank you, Tony." Her small smile dropped and Tony noticed how hurt she was.

"I tried to reach you but your foster father told me you skipped town and didn't know where you went."

"I needed to get away from the city and from them. A lot of stuff happened and I decided it was best for me to leave." Both walked toward Tony's office where he began to prepare two cups of coffee.

"It's understandable." He walked to sit on the other side of the desk, placing a cup in front of her and keeping the other to him. "But you're back here, it's a progress."

"I guess it is. Like I told my brother, I want to make things right and getting my job back is one of them."

"You know that won´t be easy. Speaking as a doctor I know your mind is not well and you need professional help."

"I know. But it's not like I can get help from the first doctor you recommend me, my situation doesn't let me talk to a stranger and suppose they won't say a thing."

"Then I'll help you. Forget that we're friends and that I know stuff about you and I'll help you." Danielle looked unsure. Tony knew about her abilities but nothing about Barry or who Harrison really was.

"Fine. But know this sessions will be just between us. There's more stuff to what the papers and news say and I trust you, but I really need to make sure you won't say anything because this involves my family as well."

"You have my word." Tony assure while holding his right hand up. "What do you say we see each other every Friday, we can see each other here or wherever you like."

"No, not here. It wouldn't be okay for the others to see me back here as a patient now. We can do them back in my home."

"Then it's settled."

Both got up from the chairs and shared another hug. "Thank you, Tony. I'll go now but see you on Friday."

"Take care, Dan, and if you need anything just give me a call."

Danielle nodded and was shortly back on her way to her car. She glanced around the parking area, making sure no one was following since the last time she was there, a man kidnapped her and used her as an experiment. Luckily, the area was empty as she drove away from the hospital toward her next stop, STAR Labs.

The place looked dead, worse than it looked like when the particle accelerator exploded and no one dared to look at it. Everything seemed to be working normally, almost as if someone had been constantly checking the place and making sure it was fine. Probably Barry, she thought.

"Figured I would find you here." Joe called out for her, making Danielle turn around to face him. "So, how does it feel to own this place now?"

Danielle scoffed, shaking her head. "This place is nothing but memories. Most of them were good but the last time I was here, it was the second worst day of my life since my mother died."

"When you disappeared I thought…I thought you were never coming back. Barry looked around the near cities for you but he never found anything, not a trace you were there. Between looking for you and trying to fix the city it was rare for him to get some sleep."

"I'm sorry for putting you two in this situation, Joe. But understand that it wasn't easy for me." Danielle walked to sit on one of the chairs, Joe following close behind. "But I am home now, there's nothing more to worry about."

"Nothing to worry about." Joe placed a kiss on her forehead before making his way out. "It's good to have my daughter back."

As Joe got inside the elevator, Danielle smiled at his words. She really missed the man and was glad to be back home with him. But she still needed to find a use to the Lab. With Barry not wanting to be the hero again, maybe it was time for STAR Labs to go back in business, the way it was before the particle accelerator.

But her attention was dragged by one of the monitors showing the security camera from down in the basement. There appeared to be someone there, someone trying to walk to the door without being detected by the camera, but he was failing.

Eventually, Danielle made her way there with her gun at hand. She disliked using the weapon but Central City still guarded some meta-humans and she didn't feel like wasting her powers on one of them.

The man on the basement didn't notice Danielle on the door but the clicking sound of the gun made him turn around while holding his hands up. "This is private property, you shouldn't be here."

"Wait, don't shoot." The man said. He didn't look like a threat, but nowadays, it was nearly impossible trusting strangers. "I'm not here to cause any harm."

"Then why and how did you get here?"

There was a pause, the man didn't say nothing while walking a little closer to her. "You're Danielle, Danielle Allen."

"How do you know my name?" She asked without lowering the gun.

"My name is Jay Garrick but I'm not from this Earth. I was sent here when the singularity appeared."

Confused by his words, Danielle's eyebrows came together to form a frown. "Not from this earth? What does that even mean?"

"If you could lower the gun, I can explain." Jay said in a calm voice and even if Danielle still didn't trust the man, she locked the gun and placed it on the back of her jeans. "Thank you."

"Now speak before I call the cops."

"There's no need. You see, when you guys created the singularity here, another one appeared on my world while I was in the middle of a fight. In my world, I am called The Flash and I have speed like the one your brother has."

"Wait, wait, how do you know about my brother?"

"I've been on this Earth long enough to know about it. Back in my Earth, we used to be close friends until—" Jay stopped, not wanting to continue to not hurt her more.

"Until what?"

"It's better for you not to know." He finally said. "This isn't the only Earth that exists, there are more. I come from what you can call Earth-2, but I'm not the only one that was dragged here. This world will be soon in danger."

Danielle was speechless for a second. All of this sounded confusing and almost impossible to believe, but then again, there was enough proof to believe in the impossible already. "How can I be so sure you're not telling me lies?"

"I can't prove it right now. As I was sent here, my speed disappeared and now I'm just a simple human being."

"Maybe I should just call Barry and let him decide."

Before Danielle could make her way out, Jay grabbed her arm to stop her. "No, you can't. He's not ready yet."

"Why not?" Danielle asked while snatching her arm away from his grip.

"Because he won't believe me. But you have a power that will let you get inside my head and realize I'm telling the truth."

"I'm trying not to use them for now."

"Please, Danielle."

Danielle sighed. She wasn't sure about this man but something inside was telling her to do it. "Fine." Jay nodded at the woman as she placed her hands on his head. She took a deep breath and closed her eyes.

Her mind began to fill with images of a lightning like the one Barry possess but it was Jay who had it. Next to him, there was another lightning, but this one was blue and the speedster that had it looked terrifying. The image on her mind was now of Jay getting beat to death by the blue speedster until a hole similar to the one that appeared that day on her city was on top of them, dragging the unconscious Jay and the blue speedster inside of it.

Danielle finally opened her eyes and got her hands away from Jay's head. He was telling the truth after all. "Who was that speedster?"

"His name is Zoom, one of my adversaries." He responded.

"When I was with Barry at his laboratory, I saw a blue lightning across a far street."

"It must be him. The singularity dragged us both here but without my speed, I can't go against him."

"Barry has the speed, I'm sure he can stop him."

"It's not that easy. I've spent two years trying to know who that man is but he is always ahead. He's faster than me and probably faster than Barry."

"I still think Barry should know about this as well. He's the hero of the city, not me. I'm just trying to get my life back and shouldn't get involve with this type of things, not anymore." She said while shaking her head and heading back upstairs, but Jay followed her.

"You're right, maybe you shouldn't. This is going to be very dangerous and people can get hurt but the more people there is to help stop Zoom, the better. Your power is amazing and the wonders you can do with it are extraordinary, Danielle."

"Yeah? Well I myself am not very sure about it." Once back in the Cortex, she grabbed her things and finally turned to Jay. "Look, my brother is not going to trust you right away. With everything that happened, it will take him some time even if I tell him that what you said is true. It's true that he's not ready right now, so you will have to wait and hope Zoom doesn't make any kind of move against this Earth."

"At least I count with your help? You saw it. What I say is true and there's still more to it but with time, you will figure out about it."

Danielle moved a hand through her red hair. Yes, everything that Jay said was true but once again, she was going to keep her brother from all of this. More secrets. "Yes, you can count me in. If I find out you're lying or are hiding something, you will suffer."

"I promise I won't." Jay told her while holding his right hand up.

"Good. Now, do you have a place to stay?"

"I've been living here since the singularity accident."

"If we're somehow working together you shouldn't live here. I have space back home if you want to stay there for the meantime, I'm fine with it."

"That would be nice."

After turning the lights off and making sure the building was secured, both made their way out to Danielle's car who started to drive toward her house. It felt weird bringing someone she just met to the house, but it's not like she was going to leave him back in STAR Labs.

Jay on the other hand was very happy to see his friend once again, even if it wasn't exactly the woman he used to be friends with. True, they had the same physical aspects and were somehow the same, but their way of be was different. His Earth's Danielle used to be shy, a simple puppet from to his husband and here, she was independent, strong and so full of power.

"You can't let him treat you like that, Danielle. It's not right!" A still not speedster Jay Garrick shouted to his best friend and the woman he has loved since years now. "Run away with me, you and your daughter. Let's get away from him once and for all."

For the last couple of days, he noticed Danielle not acting the same way. There was something different and not the good kind of different. He feared for her life and her young daughter and felt useless when he couldn't do something about it.

"Jay, you know I can't. It's not right for me to take my daughter away from her father." Jay walked to her and grabbed her face on his hands. "I'm sorry, Jay. I know you hate him but deep down he's a good person."

"You're always the one to see the good in people." She gave him a smile, that smile that would melt him inside. "Don't wait until something bad happens to you or your daughter to realize that you need to stay away from him."

"I know you worry about it but he will never hurt us, trust me, Jay." With that said, Danielle leaned to give him a kiss on the cheek to assure him that everything was going to be fine.

Hello, everyone!

Yes, I know it's been a while but exams and school take away a lot of time. But here's a new chapter. Next one will finally be the start of the season. Danielle already knows Jay so let's see how that will change the others view on him. I'm going to try to include Earth-2 Danielle with memories from Jay, like the one I included here.

How are you guys liking Season 2 so far? I really really want to know who Zoom is after last night's episode. It was epic! And what are your thoughts on Earth-2 Wells? Kind of an asshole, eh?

Anyways, I hope to see new reviews and welcome to the new readers. x
