I donot own anything, just my OC. x
"I'm glad you could make it." Barry received his sister with a small hug before letting her inside of the house. "I even made your favorite, pancakes with chocolate chips."
"Well, looks like I'll be coming over more often for breakfast." She joked as she set her coat on the couch and walked behind Barry to the dining room just to see both Iris and Joe sitting already on their respective chairs. "Something tells me this isn't a typical breakfast in family sort of meeting."
Barry eyed Joe as he walked to the kitchen to bring the food to the table and finally sit down. "We thought this might be a good time to get together giving the current unplanned visit." The man said, pouring himself a fresh cup of coffee.
"I can assure you, there's nothing to worry about." The redhead said unamused to what her family was doing at the moment.
"Last time we didn't worry about you, things turned out badly for you and us. We don't want that happening again." Barry was the one to say this time, gaining a sigh from Danielle.
"We want you to know that we are here as much as we are there for Barry, Dan. Don't push us away from your life." Iris said while placing a hand on top of Danielle's. "This is what family is for."
"Guys, I understand your concern but there's seriously nothing to worry about. This Earth-2 Harrison is nothing like the one we knew, I can assure you that, trust me."
Her mind still replayed the short memories of him finding out his daughter was kidnapped and why he was so eager to stop Zoom, but until she was able to talk to him, she would rather keep the information to herself.
"Now, can we get on the eating part? I'm starving." Barry and Joe shared another look between them before they all began to eat.
Eventually, their breakfast also included the talk about if Barry should accept the help from Dr. Light or if there was other way to get Zoom's attention. Danielle remembered Jay's words about how dangerous that was going to be, but Barry just seemed too confident on stopping the speedster her words were going to be useless.
Once the breakfast was done and both Iris and Joe were gone, Danielle decided to stick around to help Barry clean the kitchen. "You know, Jay talked to me about Zoom and how dangerous he is. Are you really sure you want to do this?"
"He is threating my city. What kind of hero would I be if I don't protect it from someone like him? Besides, I'm getting faster and my team to back me up."
"Barry, last year you were blinded by your hate toward the man in yellow suit and look how things ended up not only for you but for the rest of us. We have suffered enough and if something happens to you—"
Her words were cut by Barry pulling her into a tight hug. Danielle silently sighed as she wrapped her own arms around him. "Dan, nothing will happen to me. With Harry's help, nothing will go wrong, don't worry too much."
"I just hope you're right." She said while finally breaking apart, just in time for Barry's phone to begin ringing. "What is it?"
"Dr. Light escaped. I'll go to STAR Labs." Before she could say anything, Barry disappeared with the typical wind behind him.
"Yeah, don't worry, I'll do the dishes alone!" Danielle grumbled, taking the dishes to the sink and began washing them.
After what took her fifteen minutes, Danielle finally decided to take her leave to STAR Labs. Barry was nowhere in sight while Caitlin and Cisco were on the monitors doing some stuff. She decided not to bother them and go look for Harry and finally have a conversation about what she saw.
Lucky for her, he was hanging around at Cisco's new place. "We need to talk." She said while stepping inside and closing the door behind.
"Hello, I'm fine, thanks. Oh, sure, come in." His sarcastic tone of voice made Danielle roll her eyes as she walked further to where he was working on the table. "What is it?"
"I know about your daughter and her kidnap." Her words made Harry finally turn around to face her. "Is that why you're here? You want to gain Barry's trust just to stab him in the back and give him to Zoom in exchange of your daughter's freedom?"
By the time Danielle was done talking, a rather upset Harry walked to her, leaving just a small space between both. "What are you talking about? How do you know about Jesse's situation?"
"My special abilities allow me to get in other people's minds and see the world through their eyes. It wasn't my intention to spy on your mind yesterday but the moment my hand made contact with your chest, I had this visions of your memories." Danielle kept calm about the situation, not wanting to cause any more drama.
Harry, unlike her, had to close his eyes and take a deep breath to talk some sense into her. "Yes, Zoom has my daughter and he won't release her until getting what he wants but he didn't send me to kill your brother. It was my own decision to come and seek The Flash's help to stop the man and get Jesse." His fist made contact with the wall behind Danielle's back, making her raise an eyebrow at him.
"You know how it feels to lose your child better than they do. The guilt you have to carry once you wake up, blaming yourself for not being able to protect them when they needed you the most. I already lost my wife and I won't lose my daughter for another mistake."
Danielle remained silent for a bit, not finding the words to answer until she gave him a nod. "I will help you get your daughter back. But you have to tell Barry and the others about it, they deserve to know the truth to why you're pushing them so badly to capture Zoom." Her words made Harry sigh in relief but it didn't last long as her face changed to a threating expression. "But listen carefully because I won't repeat myself. If I find out you're lying about this and do any kind of harm to Barry or any of my friends, Zoom won't be the only one you have to worry about."
"Is that a threat?" Harry asked with a smirk while leaning close enough to feel her breathing against him.
"Am I interrupting something?" Cisco's voice made them both turn around to the man at the door. "Because I can come later."
"Not at all, Ramon. In fact, I believe Dr. Allen was already on her way out." Harry answered while taking a step back and turning his attention to Danielle once again. "Isn't that right?"
Danielle fought hard not to roll her eyes but instead, gave him a fake smile. "That's right. I should get going." She walked over to Cisco and gave him a wink before exiting the place to find Caitlin leaning against the door.
"Cait? What are you doing here hiding?" Danielle asked but Caitlin just motioned her to stay quiet and dragged her away from the door. "What's going on?"
"Let's just say that Joe isn't too comfortable with this Dr. Wells and Barry agreeing to help stop Zoom. He wants Cisco to vibe him." Caitlin explained and Danielle looked at her rather confused about Cisco. "Oh, you weren't here yesterday when we found out about Cisco's ability."
"He finally told you?" She asked surprised but Caitlin was the one to look confused this time. "He told me not so long ago but decided to keep it secret."
"Not surprised." Caitlin's tone was a jealous one but Danielle decided to not say anything about it. "Joe thinks that if Cisco vibes him, we can get answers to know if we can trust him or not."
"Of course he wasn't going to ask me to do that." Danielle mumbled while crossing her arms. "Anyway, if Cisco finds something about him, make sure to tell me about it."
"Are you okay? I mean, after all, he looks exactly like—"
"My late dead husband, I know. He might look, speak, and sometimes act like him but they're completely different. Jay told me few things about him."
"Speaking of, how is Jay? You know, I—we miss him around the place." Caitlin smiled nervously at the mistake she made, making Danielle frown a bit.
"He is fine though he's mostly out of the house nowadays."
"Wait, he's living with you? Are you, like, dating?" Her jealous tone was back and Danielle's lips formed a tiny smirk.
"Oh, yes, ever since I found him hiding in the basement. But we're not dating. There's definitely something going on, but it's nothing official." Danielle noticed Caitlin trying to keep her cool after her words and simply shrugged. "I'll tell him you said hello."
Danielle walked further into the hallway, reaching the main elevator outside the Cortex and two familiar heads walking into her direction with another woman she did not recognize. "Hey, guys."
"Oh, my god. You're Danielle, right? Barry's sister." The other woman asked while holding her right hand for Danielle to shake. "I'm Linda Parker. I work with Iris at Picture News and dated your brother while you were gone to Star City."
Danielle looked at Linda, unsure on what to think of her, but accepted her shake. "Yeah, nice to meet you, Linda. Where are you guys going?"
"Oh, I'm going to train to learn how to impersonate Dr. Light and help The Flash get Zoom's attention." She explained and both of Danielle's eyebrows raised.
"Is that so? Do you think I can have a word with Flash? He'll join you girls shortly." Iris glanced at Barry one last time before she pulled Linda into following her to the basement, leaving Danielle alone with her brother. "What is going on?"
"Dr. Light is Linda's alter ego in Earth-2, they look the same. So if we get Zoom to believe Linda is Dr. Light, he will come back for her and that's when we strike. But we need to teach her how to use those Light's gloves Cisco and Harry were able to make."
"Okay, hold it right there. Are you crazy? Even if this is a great idea, risking a civilians' life is way too much, Bar. What if Zoom comes here and something bad happens? If Linda gets lucky, she will go back to Earth-2, but she can die if Zoom figures out your little trick."
"Nothing bad will happen. Harry will be there with Joe and they have guns that are capable of stopping Zoom." Barry explained while pulling the hood down. "Besides, if anything, you will be there to back me up, right?"
"Right." She responded not convinced at all. "Just make sure she gets enough training."
Barry kissed his sister's cheek before speeding downstairs. Danielle watched as he disappeared in a blink of an eye, a sigh escaping her lips while walking toward the elevator and outside to her car. She took off driving to the nearest Big Belly Burger, taking one for Jay as well in case he was home. Not to her surprise, he wasn't there, so she had to eat alone and save Jay's burger for later when he decided to appear.
Through most of the day, Danielle decided to practice her skills outside on the backyard. She gathered few empty cans of soda and placed them on the floor as she levitated them one by one, holding them all in mid-air. Danielle felt tired at first, being this the first time in a long while since she used her telekinesis, but that didn't stop her from pushing herself into more. Eventually, the cans were placed perfectly aligned and she crashed them one by one.
"Impressive." Jay's voice called out for her, making her lose focus and the cans all falling to the floor at once. "Sorry, didn't mean to interrupt."
"It's fine, I was just finishing with them anyway." She told him while walking to pick the cans up, Jay helping her as well. "Where have you been?"
"You know, going around the city, staying away from STAR Labs." He answered with a shrug. "So have you made up your mind about helping with Zoom?"
"Jay, I will help them even if I know that's not what you want me to do. But Harry's right, if I'm not there and something happens to Barry then I won't be able to forgive myself."
Jay said nothing for a while and Danielle didn't need to read his mind to know he was hoping for a better answer. "So you trust on the word of a man you just met just because he has the same face as your husband?"
"Jay, that has nothing to do with—"
"Fine, go ahead and trust him. But know that everything that man has to say or do always ends up in a disaster." Danielle stood in the middle of the backyard as Jay angrily stepped inside of the house and walked to the room he had been staying for the last weeks.
She wanted to tell him the real reason to why he was helping Harry but then again, it wasn't her place to say that. So while Jay was still locked on the room, she walked to her own bedroom and to her closet to retrieve the suit Cisco once made for her.
It felt different, like if it wasn't the same. True, the last time she wore it she was fighting against Oliver and her brother, and now she was using it for good. Danielle stood in front of the mirror, looking at herself upside down. "Let's do this." She thought while placing her coat to cover the suit and exited the room. After ten minutes, she finally arrived to STAR Labs again. Everyone was at the Cortex, waiting for Linda to finish dressing up and for the rest to gear up.
"Hey, I believe this is yours." Cisco said approaching Danielle and giving her the comm she once used when Cisco helped her free her dad from the Trickster. "And please, be careful."
"Don't worry, I will." She assured him while placing the earpiece and walked to Barry. "You're still 100% sure you want to do this?"
"Very sure." After saying that, both Linda and Iris walked back to the Cortex, Linda already wearing Dr. Light's clothes and. "We'll met by the docks, that's where civilians are most likely to be gone in case things get ugly."
"Fine." Barry was the first one to take off running just to make sure the area was free from danger, leaving the others behind to get there.
"Giving that your foster father doesn't like me and wouldn't like to make things awkward, I will be riding with you." Harry told her as they were walking to the elevator.
"Do I have an option?" She asked with an unamused face and he just shook his head, making Danielle sigh.
Once the elevator reached the destination, both Harry and Danielle walked to her car. After unlocking it, she walked to the trunk to get her boots from the bag, placing them on and finally walking to the driver's side.
"You get a suit as well but don't fight the meta-humans like your brother?"
"Cisco made the suit after knowing about my powers. I just used it like twice, and it wasn't to help my brother." She admitted, starting to drive toward the docking bay.
"So not the hero type? Interesting." He chuckled and Danielle's jaw tensed. "How did you get your powers? Were you affected by the particle accelerator as well?"
"No, I wasn't in Central City the moment that happened." She began, her eyes not leaving the road ahead. "There was this guy, General Wade Eiling. He and Harrison used to work together in a project until Harrison shut it down, leaving Eiling upset and filled with revenge. When he knew about me, he kidnapped me to hurt him and injected me, used me as an experiment. I was saved by Harrison but was on a coma for two months."
"So what he used with you is what gave you these powers?"
"It was a serum he created with Harrison for military purposes, only ten times stronger than the first one." She explained as they arrived to their destination, parking just a block away. "We're here, better get ready."
Danielle was the first one to exit the car, taking the coat off and placing her mask on. "You should get Ramon to make you a suit where you won't freeze if you want to continue doing this." Harry told her after getting a good look at her.
"I'm fine, it's not that cold." She told him while locking the car and both walked further into the place, careful to not be seen by anyone. "Bar, we're here. Where is Joe?" She asked with the comm.
"He should be behind the cargo on your left. Be careful, Linda will be here any minute to start this."
Danielle motioned Harry to follow her silently until reaching the place Barry told her. In fact, Joe was already there, getting the gun ready. "You and I go up there, it's the better place to get a shot once Zoom gets here." He instructed Harry, who simply nodded and pulled the ladder down. "You stay down here, just somewhere he can't see you."
"Got it. Good luck." Danielle gave her foster father a kiss on the cheek before he climbed up, leaving her and Harry alone. "Are you expecting a kiss as well?"
"It wouldn't hurt to get one." He said with a smirk but Danielle simply scoffed.
"Keep dreaming, Harry." She told him with her hands on her waist, Harry just shrugged before following Joe upstairs.
The rest of the minutes were rather boring. Linda did a good job hiding her true identity as she battled Barry, but even after sending the emblem through the breach. Barry was still on the floor, Linda pacing around the place in case something happened and both Joe and Harry in their position.
"Guys, I highly doubt he will appear." Danielle finally said, standing up from the floor where she was sitting.
"She's right. It's been over an hour and there's no sign of him." Barry agreed, dusting his suit.
As everyone gathered with Barry, Harry took off angry. Even if Danielle wanted to go and calm him down, her eyes looked at the breach as it started to show some weird stuff going around it. She walked closer to check on it, but not that close for it to drag her away.
"Hey, guys? I think there's something inside." Danielle said, capturing everyone's attention. But the attention didn't last as a hand reached out to grab Danielle's own arm, making her gasp as it pulled her into the breach. "What the hell? Get off me!"
"Danielle!" Barry ran at her, pulling her from the other arm, but it was hurting her and making her scream in pain. "Hold on to me, Danielle. Don't let go."
Harry, the moment he heard the screams, rushed to them as fast as he could, helping Barry pull the woman. But not even with their strength they could get her back as Harry had to free Barry's hand holding her and Danielle disappeared through the breach, the scream for her brother being the last thing they heard.
"What was that?" An angry Barry yelled at Harry for his action. "I was trying to save my sister and you just let her get away!"
"I was trying to save you! Whatever that was pulling her was stronger than us, you were hurting her more than you were helping."
"We can't just let her there! We need to do something." Barry paced over the place, moving a hand through his hair. "I'm not losing her, not again."
"And you won't. We will find a way, but we need to get out of here now." Harry said while grabbing the keys Danielle asked him to pocket from her car and drove off to STAR Labs.
Meanwhile, in the other side of the breach, the blue speedster held Danielle's passed out body on his arms as he took off running toward his hideout. The teen being held captive inside tried the best to look over at whatever he was doing. She noticed someone else being with him but couldn't tell who.
"I got you a surprise." His distorted voice finally spoke as he placed Danielle on a chair, strapping her to it.
"Mom?" Jesse's eyes couldn't believe what she was seeing. Her breathing became fast and heavy, thinking this was some kind of sick trick from Zoom. "Who is she? Tell me!" Zoom said nothing as he ran to get a glass of water and slashed it on the woman's face, finally waking her up.
Danielle's eyes finally opened to the sight of the speedster's face in front of her. She wanted to scream but nothing would come out of her mouth. "Hello, Danielle. Nice you could finally join us."
"Zoom." She was finally able to say, a shiver traveling down her spine. "Where am I? Why am I here?"
"To watch the Flash fail the city." Zoom disappeared in less than a blink of an eye, leaving Danielle trying hard to free herself from the ropes until her eyes met the young girl in front of her.
"Jesse?"
"H-how do you know me? Who are you? You're not my mom." The young girl finally spoke. It was true what Harry said, she looked so much like her, or her Earth-2 self. But she had so much of Harry in her.
"You're right, I'm not your mother. I—I come from another Earth…look, this is not easy to explain. There's another Earth other than this one and that's where I'm from. I was in my Earth with other people trying to catch Zoom but something went wrong and I ended up here. Your father, Harrison, he's there."
"How can I trust you?" Danielle took a deep breath and attempted to get into the girl's mind to show her what had been happening for the last weeks, but there was nothing. Her powers, they were gone like Jay.
"Can you tell me what my eye color is?"
"Green." Danielle felt a heavy contraction on her chest, this wasn't right. "I don't understand, what does that has to do with what you're saying?"
"I lost my powers." She said in almost a whisper but Jesse looked at her confused.
"Powers? Are you a meta-human like the ones we have here?"
"Yeah…" She finally looked over at the teen, reviewing where she was being held. "I'm afraid I don't have any proof other than my word. I met Jay Garrick as well, he told me more about my life in this Earth and about you."
"You mean Uncle Jay is alive?" The girl showed happiness on her face, probably the first time she was happy since she was kidnapped.
"Both Jay and your father are well." She said with a nod. "I want to help you, Jesse. I promised your father I would help him, but we didn't know this would happen."
"There's nothing you can do now. We can't escape, he is very fast and he would catch us before we manage to get free. That man is evil."
"Well I'm not going to sit here and watch Zoom kill my friends. I promise you we will find a way to get out of here."
Hello, everyone, and welcome back.
How are you guys liking season 2? I think it's going great but season 1 still remains my favourite. The Christmas episode this season was great but I prefer the one from the other season.
Anyway, here's another chapter. I hope you like it. Danielle will be now in Earth-2 with Jesse and powerless. How fun, eh? Wait until Jay knows about it and takes his anger on Harry. ;-)
Remember, reviews are always welcomed. I really want to know what you guys are thinking about it. Let me hear you, people! Your opinion here is important.
