I do not own anything, just my OC. x
A very bright sun shined above Central City just like any other normal day. The park was filled with people walking and kids running everywhere around the playground. Danielle peacefully sat on a bench, watching everyone around. She was wearing a green dress and a hat to cover herself from the sun. From the other side of the playground, she saw a little boy running toward her with a big smile on his face.
"Mommy, mommy. Look at what daddy bought me, a cotton candy!" The boy said while showing the blue cotton candy he was hiding behind his back.
"Hey, what did we say about eating candy before dinner?" She asked with an accusing look as her husband walked to them, sitting on the bench next to her.
"I thought we could make an exception. Thad has been behaving nicely today." Harrison answered while placing a soft kiss on the woman's lips.
"Yuck." The four year old boy said, making both adults laugh.
"What you don't like kisses?" Danielle asked while picking up the boy and bringing him into her lap, but he just shook his head. "Maybe if I give you lots of kisses, you will like them."
Danielle began kissing the boy's pinkish cheek as he struggled to get free from her. "Come on, love, let him breath." Harrison said, trying to help his son.
"Only if he promise to give me from his cotton candy."
"Fine." The young boy said in defeat as his mother finally released him, chuckling at his expression of disgust. "Can I eat it now?"
"After dinner." She told him again and the boy looked at his father for help.
"She makes the rules here, son."
"Can we get dinner now?" Danielle shook her head with a smile, brushing his blonde hair to the back. "Please, mommy?"
"Don't you want to play more? You still have time, it's too early for dinner" She asked but the boy just shook his head.
"Let's go get some dinner then. Come on, kid." Harrison grabbed now the boy on his arms and sat him on his shoulders while getting up from the bench.
Danielle saw both boys start to walk ahead and a smiled formed on her face. But just as everything seemed quiet and calm, the sky began to fill with grey clouds and lightning. One of the lightning struck right in the middle of the space between Danielle and both Harrison and their son. The crack it made began to open, making the space bigger and bigger.
Panic got in control of Danielle's body as Harrison tried to find a way for them to reunite. Another lightning hit the ground near Harrison and Thaddeus, making them slip into the open space. Harrison tried really hard to hang to a rock and holding Thaddeus with his other hand.
"Harrison!" Danielle screamed in fear to see the man holding for both his and the boy's life.
"I can't…hold any longer." He struggled to say as his fingers began to slip.
As everybody else was running from the place, Danielle reached out her phone to call her brother for help. She began to dial his phone but there was a dead line. Her breathing became heavy as Harrison and her son began to fall down the crack on the floor.
An alarm began to sound as the clock striker 8:00 am. Danielle woke up almost immediately, her heart still beating fast as she looked around to make sure everything was fine. It was just a dream, she told herself while stopping the alarm.
After making sure she was doing okay, she began to do her daily morning routine before eventually going to the kitchen to make breakfast. She thought it was weird not seeing Jay already there since he would always wake up earlier than her.
"Jay?" She asked while knocking twice on his door. "I'm going in, if that's okay." Just like she said, indeed she got inside but the bed was just like the day before, no sign of him anywhere. This all seemed really odd to her.
She walked back to the kitchen to get her phone and saw a message from Barry. Apparently, they had an intruder at STAR Labs and wanted her to check on it the moment she was free. Jay, she thought.
It took her about 20 minutes before eventually going outside of the house and heading to STAR Labs. She was greeted by Cisco, Stein and Caitlin on the Cortex where Stein was talking about something to them both.
"Hey, Barry told me there was an intruder."
"Oh, you mean the man that comes from another earth? Yeah, we locked him in the pipeline." Cisco said and Danielle groaned.
"What have you done, Jay?" She said in a mumble.
"Wait, you know him?" Cait asked and Danielle raised both eyebrows, shrugging a bit.
"It's a long story." She simply said while hurrying out of the place and heading to the pipeline where Barry was having a conversation with the man. "Damn it, Barry, what are you doing?"
"What am I doing? I'm keeping us safe, that's what I'm doing."
"Hey." Jay greeted Danielle as she began to release the man from the cell but was stopped by Barry.
"You know him?" Barry asked confused.
"Yes, I know him. And he shouldn't be locked up in there, he's not a threat." She defended while finally open the cell and Jay stepped out. "Barry, he's telling the truth."
"How can you be so sure?"
"I looked into his mind and saw it all." She explained as Jay just glanced between both but staying quiet.
"Why didn't you tell me? Don't you think something like this should be tagged as important?"
"That should be my fault." Jay finally spoke. "I told her I wanted to wait for the right time to come to you and your team and she agreed with that."
Barry was silent for a few seconds, having an unsure look on his face. "I trust her but not you. We should keep doing those tests until getting something."
After saying that, Barry walked away from the pipeline, leaving Jay and Danielle alone. "Why didn't you tell me you were planning on making an appearance here? I told you Barry was not going to trust you right away."
"I came here last night thinking you would be here with them." He said as both began walking to the treadmill room.
"What tests are they making on you?"
"They want to find some trace of the speed force. Until now, they have been unlucky. I myself still don't know what caused me to lose my powers."
As they reached the room, they found both Caitlin and Iris in there. Apparently, Caitlin was the one doing the tests on Jay since she was wearing her coat. "I was thinking on doing some running tests on the treadmill, if that's okay." Cait told Jay.
"Sure." He simply responded as Cait handed him a pair of sweatpants and some running shoes.
"Well, looks like you're in good hands so I'll leave now that I know where you are." Danielle said to Jay.
"Why don't you stay?" He asked and she simply shook her head.
"I have better things to do other than stay here and watch you run."
So while Jay was busy with Caitlin and Iris, Danielle decided to go down to Cisco's working area where he was investigating something Barry brought from the crime scene.
"I like what you've done with the place." She said while walking inside, but got no response from Cisco, who was just standing there. "Cisco? Hello?"
"Huh? Sorry, I was, um, thinking of something." He said a little shaken up and Danielle raised an eyebrow at him.
"Are you okay? You look pale."
Cisco was silent for a bit before eventually standing up from his seat and walking to close the door. "There's something happening to me." He began while standing in front of Danielle. "I'm not sure what it is but Dr. Wells told me something about it the day I visited him on the pipeline."
"Well, what is it?"
"He told me that the particle accelerator affected me as well. Those dreams or visions I was having, they were because of my…ability."
"Cisco, just tell me what it is."
"I don't know! I just get this visions whenever I touch something." He said while pacing over the place, his hands on his hair.
"Hey, it's okay. You don't need to be afraid." Danielle placed her hand on his shoulder to calm him down. "When I first found out about my powers, I was scared as well. All this new things I could do was something…different. But you as well as the others were there for me just like we are here for you."
"You don't get it. I don't know how to control it, it just happens."
"Then one way or another we will find out how you can use them but there's no need for you to be scared."
"I guess not." He said with a shrug and Danielle gave him a pat on the back. "Thanks, I kinda freaked out a bit."
"Everyone freaks out when finding stuff like this, you're not the first and the last person to go through that."
"Right." Cisco sighed and sat back on his chair. "So, how do you know that guy? Anything you want to tell me?"
"Jay? Oh, I was here to check on everything and saw him down in the basement. I almost shoot him but then he began telling me all about how he ended up here thanks to the singularity."
"And you didn't tell us anything about it because…"
"He said that Barry wasn't ready yet, that it was best to wait. I offered him to stay at my house, I wasn't leaving him here." She explained with a shrug.
"And you trust him? Just like that?" Cisco asked a little concerned but Danielle just sighed.
"I got into his mind and all he was saying was true."
"I don't think he means any harm but I think Barry has the right not to trust him after all that happened with, you know." Danielle shot him a glare and Cisco just held his hands up. "I'm just saying."
"I'll go and see how Jay is doing."
After saying that, Danielle made her way back to the Cortex where Barry was sitting down on in front of the monitors, just glaring at them. She walked to him and sat on the chair next to him.
"Earth to Barry, hello?"
"Are you certain we can trust Jay?" He suddenly asked, his eyes not leaving the monitor in front.
"Do you trust me? Really, really trust me?" There was no answer from Barry, he remained quiet. "You're right on not trusting me like you used to because I let you down, I'm aware of that. But Jay is not me, Jay is not Harrison and his intentions here are just to help you. You have to give him the opportunity to help."
"One opportunity is all he has. This meta took one office from the CCPD, her name is Patty. We need to track her and find a way to help her. Jay says he knows how to stop the meta, so let's see if he can really help."
Danielle nodded at her brother and stood up from the chair, going to the pipeline once again to get Jay out of the cell.
"Time to play the hero once again." Danielle told him as he walked to her.
"Aren't you going to help?" He asked and she just shook her head.
"I'm not a hero like you or Barry, you two will be fine on your own. Plus, you have to win their trust, not mine."
"You know where to find us in case you want to help." With a nod, Jay began to walk up to the Cortex, leaving Danielle alone in the pipeline.
Sending Jay's cell to the back, she closed everything and walked into the hallway. Her feet stopped in front of the hidden room in the place. Her hand reached out to unlock the door and the lights turned on. Unconsciously, she walked inside and the door closed behind her.
"Evening, Dr. Allen." Gideon greeted her and Danielle turned to her. "What can I do for you?"
"Hello, Gideon." She responded back while taking a look at the empty glass where the suit must be. "Do you know where Dr. Wells kept his rings?"
"Yes." Gideon changed from only a face into the whole figure and pointed to the small structure in front.
Danielle walked to it and just as she got close enough, from the circle in the middle, a ring showed up. She grabbed the golden ring and took it to the glass, where she placed it and just like that, the suit was now showing.
"Is there a way to place it back inside?" She asked to the artificial consciousness.
"You just have to place the ring back."
Danielle raised an eyebrow but once again, placed the ring like Gideon told her and again, the suit was back on the ring. "Nice." She mumbled while taking a hold of her necklace and taking it off.
She replaced the small green gem decorating it with the ring, that way she would always carry it with her. So after placing the necklace back on her neck, she walked outside of the Cortex, where Barry and Jay were having a conversation on the nursery room.
"Rough night?" She asked while glancing at Jay's bandages covering his abdomen.
"Just glad Jay was there to save the day." Barry said and she smiled at him.
"Just doing my work here." Jay told him back and they shared a hand shake.
"Well, looks like you both make a good team after all." She said while Barry wrapped an arm around her shoulders. "But it's time to go home and rest. Even superheroes need their beauty sleep."
"I won't argue with that." Jay said while placing his shirt back on and standing up.
"See you tomorrow." Barry said his goodbyes to both Jay and Danielle before speeding away.
"I guess you're now officially part of Earth-1 Flash team." Danielle said while turning to Jay, who was grabbing that hat she saw the day of the singularity. "That's yours?"
"That's right. I lost it when I ended up here."
"Yeah, I remember seeing it." She said rather serious before grabbing her bag and walking outside. "What happened to make you wear those bandages?"
"Got into a beating and couldn't defend myself." He said while getting inside the passenger's side and groaning a bit in pain. "Now that I have your brother's trust, will you join the team?"
Danielle, who was starting the car, looked at him and then back at the road. "I don't know. Maybe. Depends who is the next meta-human we need to catch."
"Sounds great to me."
With that, they both arrived to the house. Jay excused himself since he wanted to sleep due to feeling rather tired. In truth, he wanted some time alone. Even if it's already been a while, he couldn't stop himself from remembering the day Danielle died on his Earth. Until this day, it still hurt and seeing her alive in this Earth didn't make it any easier.
Jay walked to the drawer and took out a photo of him and Danielle from few years ago when he graduated. He smiled at how happy they both looked. Then that smile was erased when he remembered the chance he had of confessing his love to her that day, long before she would start dating the man who eventually turned into her husband.
Not again, he thought. This time, he was going to make it right and maybe, for once in his life, get the woman he loves.
Hello, everyone!
