I do not own anything, just my OC. x
"Dad? Dad!" Jesse called while trying her best to make her way through the police and the people around the place.
"Jesse." Harrison stopped talking to one of the police officers as he ran to meet his daughter, embracing her into a hug. "What are you doing here?"
"Is it true? Dad, is it true what they're saying about mom?" Her blue eyes were bright red and filled with tears. Harrison said nothing, holding her closer to him as she sobbed against his chest.
"I'm so sorry, honey." He tried his best to calm her down, his hand brushing her hair. "It´s going to be okay."
"No, it's not! Mom is dead, how can it be okay?" The blue eyed girl broke the hug, taking a step back. "This is your fault, you killed her!"
"No, Jesse—"Harrison tried to call out for her but she took off running away from the flashing cameras that came running toward them.
"Dr. Wells, is it true you knew this would happen? Is it true that you caused your wife's death? Dr. Wells! We want some answers!" The reporters began asking and shouting, Harrison getting mad at them he just pushed them out of the way, running to his daughter.
After waiting for almost all night and part of the next morning, the news hit Jay hard. Not only was Barry hurt and in a bed but Danielle had been taken into his own Earth by the same man who wants to kill her brother for his speed. Caitlin was the one to break him the news when she stopped by the house, telling him how sorry she was.
"Thank you for telling me, Dr. Snow." Jay told her with a nod as both walked back to the door.
"I know how special she is to you and thought you deserved to know. If there's anything, you know where we are."
"In case you know something, I would appreciate you contacting me right away. Also, if there's something I can do to help, just tell me." With a last small smile from Caitlin, Jay closed the door and walked back into the house.
He wanted to hit something, let his anger out by punching a hole through the wall. But he was better than that, so he started to plot a solution to get Danielle back. The best idea that came into his mind was to find a breach and go back to his Earth to find her. But the only breach that could take him there was the one in STAR Labs and if the guys knew about it, they were not going to let him do it.
Just like Jay, Harrison wanted to go back. His plan to catch Zoom with Barry's help was a total failure. He saw it coming, but he wanted to believe it was going to work out just fine and it was all going to end up with him having his daughter back. Now, not only was Jesse captured but the woman who looked just like his wife as well. It's true that this Danielle is completely different from the one he married, but she still had the same face as the woman he loved for many years, and he was not going to lose her again. One way or another, he will get both back.
On the other hand, Danielle fought to not fall asleep. She was tired. All she wanted to do was jump inside her bed and fall asleep for a couple of hours. Instead, she was strapped to a chair, unable to move and the cold breeze making her wish she had something better to wear.
"You should try get some sleep." The teen in front of her said, feeling exhausted as well but not as much as Danielle. "We don't know when he will come back. It can be minutes, hours, days…"
"I appreciate you worrying about me, Jesse, but I will be fine." She assured the girl but she didn't seem to be convinced. "You are the one who should be resting, I will keep an eye in case he comes back."
"I can't remember the last time I was able to sleep. He's constantly coming and going and every time he's here, I'm afraid he will kill me." Danielle examined the girl's face. She was tired, that was obvious, but the fear in her expression was clear as the water. "He's always threatening to kill my dad, saying that he won't save me but I know he will."
"He just wants to scare you, make you believe things that aren't true. Trust me, your dad is trying his best to get you back."
"I just don't want to lose him, you know? After we lost mom, he became a different person but he has always been there for me. He's the only one I have left and I don't think I can live without him."
Danielle saw some tears forming on her eyes as Jesse looked at the floor, not her. She knew the feeling, what she was suffering, and being without her powers while strapped into a chair was making her feel useless.
But the feeling was gone the moment the blue speedster appeared in the middle of the room. Even if inside Danielle was terrified, she tried her best not to show it. But the closer Zoom got to her, the harder it was to hide it.
"The Flash has fallen." He said while bending to get a look at her, Danielle simply frowned.
"Liar."
Zoom stood up straight again and took the ropes off from her, leaving her free for him to take her to the next room with a TV showing the news. There were footage of Flash getting beat up by Zoom, showing an almost broken Barry on the CCPD and at Picture News. Danielle couldn't believe what she was seeing. Barry almost looked dead, blood all over his face as Zoom held him like a simple puppet.
"You monster!" Danielle's hand raised up to punch him across the face, but he caught her hand mid-air. "I'm going to kill you. A slow, painful death."
"We'll see."
In another blink of an eye, Danielle was once again strapped into the chair she was before and Zoom gone. Her heart was still beating too fast, he was indeed faster than both Barry and Harrison back in the days. Everything was spinning, so closing her eyes was the best idea.
"Did he hurt you?" Jesse asked right away, looking at the woman with a concerned look.
"No, don't worry, it's all fine." She assured, opening her eyes once again.
Both women remained silent for a few minutes. Danielle still taking what Zoom showed her of her brother and Jesse not wanting to bother her any more. Jesse wanted to desperately know the woman more, she wanted to know if in her world, there was another version of herself. But the redhead looked hurt enough she didn't know if it was a good idea to ask.
"Can I ask something?" Jesse finally broke the silence making Danielle look up to her, nodding in agreement. "I'm not sure if it's okay to ask, but I was wondering if you could tell me about your Earth. I'm just curious."
Danielle managed to smile a bit before sighing. "I suppose you can say it's the same as here. Far as I know, everyone gets a doppelganger in this Earth, but their lives are not always the same. Take me as an example. In my Earth, I was married to a man wearing the name of Harrison Wells but he wasn't the real Wells, he was a man who stole that persona while in this Earth I married the original Harrison Wells and had you—"
"Do I have a doppelganger in your Earth?" Jesse interrupted and Danielle twisted her mouth.
"I'm afraid not. My husband and I did had a child, but he was a boy."
"Was?"
Danielle lowered her sight to the floor, biting the inside of her cheek. "Yeah, had. He died with his dad."
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean—"
"No, it's okay. That happened a while back, I moved on." Danielle tried her best to ignore the tears forming on her eyes.
"I was going to have a baby sister once. I was probably five years when my mom got pregnant. We were all so happy, even dad. But there was a complication and the baby didn't make it. Mom was devastated."
"Losing someone you love is not easy, but losing a child? You continue being a mother even if they're not with you anymore." Danielle wanted to break into tears, but she didn't want to show weakness. Jesse as well didn't want to say a word, feeling bad for bringing up the subject.
After a few seconds, Danielle once again looked up to the girl and continued. "Anyway, there's some differences and similarities between our worlds. For example, the meta-humans in my Earth appeared thanks to the particle accelerator explosion."
"That's what happened here as well. But dad didn't let that affect him and the facility, he worked hard to keep STAR Labs on its feet."
"Yeah, STAR Labs back in my Earth belongs to me now. It has been closed since the accident, but we use it as a small headquarter to help The Flash."
"Who is The Flash?"
Danielle looked at her but shook her head, not wanting to give away her brother's secret identity. "That's classified information, young lady."
"Oh, come on. I want to know. It's not like I will ever be in your Earth." Her tone was a sad one. Jesse had taken a liking in Danielle, not because she's the exact image of her mother but because she was determined to help her escape and reunite with her father.
"Do you think I will leave you in this Earth once we are free just for Zoom to find you again? No, you are coming with me and I will make sure you're safe until Zoom gets apprehended."
"You really mean it?" Her face lighten up at the older woman's words.
"Of course I mean it, Jesse."
…
On the other side of the breach, Harrison was pacing around STAR Labs' Cortex after the computer gave him no information about the breach where Danielle disappeared. He was desperate and the whole problem with the gorilla they called Grodd wasn't helping at all, especially after he kept asking for her.
"This is your fault." Jay's voice made him turn around to face the man. Another problem added to the list, he thought. "I told you this wasn't a good idea, but you still went around and now Danielle is gone."
"Don't tell me you got a soft spot for her, Garrick." Jay frowned, fighting the urge to hit him…again. "This wasn't my fault, it was Zoom."
"Star accepting your mistakes and actually do something about it."
"Do you think I'm not doing all I can to save them?! Yes, Garrick, them. Zoom has my daughter captive since you disappeared. Now I have to get her and this Earth's version of my wife as well."
Jay was silent for a moment. He didn't know about Jesse, no one told him about it. "I have to go through that portal and find them, save them."
Harrison, whose hands were on his hips, turned to the other man and scoffed. "That breach is unstable. We don't know where you can end."
"You came through it, that's stable enough for me."
"Fine, if you want to end up in another Earth or get lost somewhere in the multiverse then be my guest. Far as I'm concerned I don't care." Jay was so close of hitting him, but he was better than that.
"Whatever plan you might come up with better be quick and effective or I will take the risk and go through that breach myself." Jay angrily exited the place, going back to the small hotel he was staying at now since he thought it wasn't a good idea to stay at Danielle's house without her.
Both Jay and Harrison were so desperate into finding the girls, but their egos and hate toward each other didn't let them work in team to make the search faster and even be able to find them. Harrison would rather have Cisco or Caitlin help him, but not Jay.
Meanwhile, at the West home, Barry, Henry and Joe sat on the living room as Iris prepared some fresh coffee for them all. Just like Jay, Barry suggested going inside the breach to reach the other Earth, but with his speed not being stable, everyone forbid him.
"So she's just, gone?" Henry, who just received the news about his daughter, asked.
"Far as we know, she's just in another Earth." Barry answered, followed by a sigh. "But I know she's alive, dad, I can feel she is."
"We just got her back and now she's gone again?" Henry's face showed sadness as well as Joe's.
Joe didn't want to feel bad, he wanted to share the same optimism as Barry into thinking that she was fine and she was coming back. But after what Zoom did to Barry, he wasn't so sure. He feared for his daughter's life.
"We all are putting our little trust into Harrison Wells into finding her. He's the only one who can bring her back." Iris commented once she was back with the mugs.
"Let's hope he finds her." Henry finally added, sipping his coffee.
Hello, everyone, and Happy New Year!
So okay, first of all I want to wish you all a Merry Late Christmas and a Happy New Year. I wish you all the best on this fresh new year. Let your wish finally come true.
I know I took quite some time to upload, but I have been busy traveling. I'm moving out of my city for college and it's been hard to find time to write. Sorry if it's not a good episode but I really wanted to upload something soon. But worry not, the next chapter will come somewhere in the weekend or maybe next Monday, so cheer up!
Also, sorry if this moment with Henry wasn't emotional at all but I still have my thoughts that he is not the original and that he is the Henry from Earth-2, so I didn't know how to write him. If I-m wrong, I will make it more emotional next time.
Someone reviewed somewhere about the new promo for the next episodes and mention Thawne coming back. Yes! I really am excited to see the real Eobard Thawne in his Reverse Flash suit coming back. Oh, this is going to be exciting, I can't wait.
Thank you guys for following this story, it means a lot. I know it might not be the best fic out there but I really try my best just so you can enjoy a little reading time.
Anyway, remember reviews are always welcomed. x
