I do not own anything, just my OC. x

"I still don't understand why you chose medicine. You could've done better in the Science department." Jay said while he and Danielle were walking around the university.

"You know I want to help people, Jay, and I can help them more being a doctor than being a scientist. Plus, it's what I always wanted to be."

Their attention was grabbed by several men walking out of one building, their fine suits catching their eyes. "Hey, aren't you supposed to be at those science conferences? I heard they were bringing people from over the world and even have some former students that graduated not long ago."

Jay shrugged, pocketing his hands on his jeans. "If I had gone there, I wouldn't be here with you. We don't see each other that much lately."

"That's sweet from you. But they look interesting, maybe I should go with you."

"You sure you want to go? I mean, we can stay here and enjoy the outside."

Danielle nodded, grabbing Jay's arms to pull him into the next conference that was going to start in five minutes. The room was quite full, half of the place was filled with students and the others were teachers and people from out. Danielle read the name of the next person in stage, Harrison Wells. The name was familiar, he was one of the students to graduate from there. Though she never met the guy, he was out long before she got in, but it was still a name people would constantly mention.

Her eyes finally met the man when he took the podium. She was mesmerized by him and his smile. It was those kind of instant crushes someone get, she even felt those so called butterflies on her stomach when he started to talk. Jay noticed her lost in her own world, a small frown as he glanced at the man. This was not going to be an enjoyable conference.

An hour later, his talk was finally done but they remained seated for the next person. "Hey, do you mind if I go out for a few minutes? I'm starving."

"Do you want me to come with you?" Jay asked but Danielle shook her head.

"Save me the seat."

Once said that, the redhead walked out of the building and toward the hallway where a vending machine was. After deciding what to get, she inserted the money and waited for the pack of cookies to fall down just to see them getting stuck in the way.

"Oh, come on." She mumbled under her breath as she tried to shake the machine into giving her the food.

"If I'm correct, there's a certain spot you can hit to get what you want." The voice speaking to her made Danielle stop and look at him. It was the man who had been recently on the podium talking. "Here, let me help you."

The blue eyed man walked to the back, hitting somewhere in the middle and finally getting the cookies to fall down for her to grab them. "Thank you." She shyly said with a small smile.

"I'm Harrison Wells." The man said while holding his hand for a shake.

"Danielle. Danielle Allen." She said, accepting his shake.

"Danielle. That's a beautiful name for such a beautiful girl." Danielle could feel her cheeks turning bright red. "You study here?"

"Oh, no. I'm just here for a friend, he's the one studying science. I'm studying medicine."

"A doctor, hm? Interesting choice." The man adjusted his glasses, flashing a smile at her. "What made you pick that?

"I just really want to help people who need it, make sure they have a future like everyone else."

"I like people who look up to the future. Not everyone likes the idea of things changing and technology advancing. They would rather stay in the old days, where technology doesn't even existed."

"I believe we must welcome the future. Things change, times change, and so can we." Harrison smirked. He was delighted by the young beauty in front of her and her ideals that were similar to his.

"I believe, Ms. Allen, that we can discuss more of this in dinner. What do you say?"

Danielle was taken off guard. It wasn't normal for men to ask her out or invite her somewhere, she didn't know how to react. "Y-yeah, sure. I would love to."

After that date, it took them four more to eventually start a formal relationship. This was the first time Danielle was in something serious, given that her other relationships were a total failure and lasted just one week. She really liked Harrison and he liked her. Despite Jay not liking him at all, Danielle remained with him.

After two and a half years of going out, Harrison proposed to her the same day he got the approval to create his own small kingdom, STAR Labs. The wedding took place the same year Danielle graduated, not wanting the whole thing to interfere with her studies. And so, their lives had some ups and downs until one year later, Jesse was brought into the world.

…

'How many weeks have I been here? Has it been a month already? Or is it just me who lost track on time? Everything hurts, my hope is slowly dying as the time goes by. Jesse keeps reminding me that her father will come for us, that he will save us. I highly doubt it. She's been here longer than I have and still keeps a positive attitude toward the situation, I just simply can't.

Zoom is determined to make my brother suffer, to make him give up his speed in order to save me. But Barry won't do it, he simply won't. He will find another way, but he won't give his speed for me.

My head hurts worse than my body. I can feel my powers trying to come out, to get back into work. But something is pushing them back, not letting them take me. And the pain is horrible, a kind of pain a pill won't take away. I feel my head being ripped apart, and there's nothing I can do about it. Zoom knows, of course, but he feeds on the pain from the others. As Jesse told me, one of my eyes is violet, like they should be, but the other is still green. There's a battle inside of my system and all I have left is suffer in silence.'

"You don't look okay." Jesse, as always, looked out for her. From the time Danielle had been captive as well, they continued to know each other. She could tell why her Earth-2 self was so proud of the teen, and couldn't deny the good job she did on raising Jesse.

"Jesse, have I ever looked okay since I arrived here?" The teen twisted her mouth, not sure what to say.

But both kept quiet as the blue speedster entered the room. They shared a look before their attention was on Zoom. He said nothing, he was just looking for something around the place before speeding away once again, this time, inside the breach.

"Did you see what he took?" Danielle asked and Jesse nodded.

"The gun." She said and Danielle's eyes shined like they haven't in a long time. "What is it?"

"He went back to my Earth. This is the moment we've been waiting for, Jesse, this is the moment we can escape."

Before Jesse could say something, Danielle's eyes closed. If they were doing it, she needed her powers back now, all they needed was a small push. She took deep breaths, concentrating as much as she could. She could do it, she had to it not for her, but for Jesse. She was the priority here, because Jesse didn't deserve to suffer from her father's mistake.

When her eyes finally opened, she met a confused Jesse who was wondering what was happening. "Both of your eyes are finally violet!" The happiness on her face was back, something it was not often to see nowadays.

But Danielle didn't answer as she freed her hands from the ropes with her mind, leaving her quite exhausted. "I think they're back, but I'm still weak." She proceeded to free her feet and finally, she was free. "Let's get you out of these things."

"We need to hurry, he can be back any second."

Danielle used her hands to untie the knot on the teen's wrists, but they were very well made. "I need some knife to cut."

"He keeps one on the drawer from the last desk." Not thinking it twice, Danielle hurried to where Jesse told her and indeed, found a sharped knife inside.

"We'll be free, Jesse." Danielle reminded her while cutting the first knot, Jesse moving her hand to soothe the pain. "Just a little more."

As the other knot was released, Jesse was finally free. But the first thing she did was not run away from the place but hug the other woman. Danielle was taken by surprise but she wrapped her arms around Jesse as well.

"We're free now, let's get out of here." Danielle told the teen, who nodded in agreement.

But the happiness was shortly interrupted as the breach opened once again and Zoom appeared. Both froze in place, this wasn't going to end up well.

"What are you doing?"

"Stay back." Danielle pointed the knife in his direction, pushing Jesse behind her. "You can't keep us here, we're going away and you won't stop us."

"Don't be a fool, Danielle, you can't escape me."

"Jesse, run!" Danielle ordered the youngster as she formed a mind wall between them and Zoom.

"No, I'm not leaving you!"

"You have to." Danielle saw Jesse hesitate but eventually started to run as Danielle brought the wall down, unable to keep it much longer. "It's just you and me, Zoom. Leave the girl alone." Zoom's eyes remained on Danielle as he stepped closer, making Danielle fear for her own life. "Don't take a step closer or I swear I'll kill you."

"You think you can kill me?" Zoom quickly took the knife away from Danielle in less than a second, leaving her weaponless. "You cannot escape me."

With a lot of effort, Danielle created a bubble around Zoom, leaving him trapped inside. She felt weak, her body about to give up, but she was strong and she wasn't going to let that happen. "Who are you? Why do you want The Flash's speed so much?"

"There can only be one speedster."

"Afraid he's better than you are? You might be faster than him, but you will never be what he is." Danielle could see the hate on Zoom's eyes, but her attention was dragged behind her, where Jesse came back once again. "What are you doing? You're supposed to go out and get help!"

"I can help you." She pulled a gun from behind her, but it wasn't a common gun. "Dad built this to stop him and that's what I'll do."

As Danielle was distracted with Jesse, Zoom began running around the bubble around him at a high speed, eventually making a small explosion that sent both Danielle and Jesse to the floor. The redhead fought hard to focus her eyes, her ears were ringing. She could see as Zoom dragged Jesse away through the breach but something was keeping her from getting up.

"Jesse!" She yelled out for her, but they were long gone.

As she stood up from the ground, she noticed red liquid pouring from an injury in her head, she had a concussion, which was causing her vision to be blurry at moments and to lean against the wall to stop her from falling down. Three deep breaths is what took her to finally regain some focus and let her walk toward the breach, stumbling on her way.

But just as she was about to reach it, Zoom appeared once again. He said no word, just grabbed her on his arms and took her inside the breach, appearing on the same place he took her a while back. She saw Harrison and Jesse in there, sharing a hug before their attention was on her.

"Let her go!" Jesse yelled at the speedster, who held Danielle close to the edge of the floating dock by her arm. Harrison had to stop her from walking any further and putting herself in danger again. "Dad."

"Let me handle this." Harrison assured the teen while stepping closer to Zoom and Danielle. "You don't have to do this. You'll get what you want, but you leave them both out of this."

Danielle could tell Harrison himself wasn't sure about what he was saying as she tried to free her arm from the speedster. Zoom tilted his head before running to take Jesse back inside the breach, Danielle almost falling down before he returned and took a hold on her again.

She could feel the hurt Harrison felt when seeing his daughter taken back captive, a look that hurt her as well. "No! Let her go, I'll take her place." Danielle tried to convince Zoom, but by the looks of it, it wasn't working.

"No." Zoom said in his deep, distorted voice while leaning close enough to intimidate her. "You will help Harrison Wells succeed on taking the Flash's speed."

Danielle was silent. She didn't want to do such thing to her brother, she didn't want to be against him once again. "I won't do your dirty work. If you want his speed, do it yourself."

"Then she will die."

"I will kill you first." Danielle threaten him, her eyes narrowing at the blue speedster.

But Zoom turned away from her, facing Harrison this time. "Get the speed or your daughter dies." Once said that, he pushed Danielle to Harrison's direction before he disappeared into the breach.

Danielle looked over at Harrison, no one said a thing as she leaned to wrap her arms around his neck. "I'm so sorry." She said while he held her closer to him. "I tried to help her but he came back and ruined everything."

"No, it's my fault. I should've listened to him." He broke the hug to look at her, wiping away the tear falling down her cheek. "You did your best."

"No! I could've done more. I lost my powers the moment he took me and I had them back, we were going to be free and I was going to keep her safe from that monster—"

Her words got cut off by Harrison placing a kiss on her lips, a kiss that took her by surprise. She hesitated but eventually kissed him back as his hands wrapped around her waist. "I'm sorry, I really am." She said as they broke apart, their foreheads leaned against each other.

"I will get her back." Harrison's eyes finally made contact with hers, starring deeply into her violet eyes. "I won't let him win."

"No, we will get her back. I failed her once and I won't do it again." Danielle's left hand moved to his cheek, her touch making him close his eyes.

"Let me take you home."

The road to the house was silent. Danielle was still feeling down and Harrison didn't want to upset her even more. When they finally arrived, Danielle walked straight into the bedroom and turned the shower on. She needed to wash all the filth away and feel home once again.

Meanwhile, Harrison took a look around. The place was lovely, though it was covered in dust again since no one had been living there for the last couple of weeks. He walked to the office with his curiosity of knowing more about this Earth's Harrison Wells and why he was so hated by the team at STAR Labs. The place was nicely arranged, not the way he would do it but still nice. There was few STAR Labs photos around and he couldn't help himself but look at them.

Finally, there was the computer. He didn't want to be an intruder but the curiosity was bigger, so he turned it on. The first thing he did was go through the pictures. There were few, but most of them were newspaper scans of the notes they published of STAR Labs and the very last ones were of him and Danielle, even some of the day when their child was born, but the man was nowhere in sight. But what grabbed his attention was a video on the corner, 'confession' it was called. With no doubt, he opened and started to watch it, listening carefully to the words of the man with his same face.

"Did they tell you about him?" Danielle, who was already out of the shower and wearing fresh new clothes suddenly asked, making Harrison turn around to her in surprise.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean—"

"It's okay." Danielle cut him, leaning on the door frame. "We are all curious, I can't blame you."

"They never talk about him, but when they do they're not good things."

Danielle silently sighed, nodding at him. "Harrison Wells died 15 years ago, the real one at least. There was this man, Eobard Thawne, he was a speedster as well, the one you might heard they call Reverse Flash or the man in the yellow suit. He was from the future and came here for one thing only, kill Barry when he was a young boy. But Thawne failed when Barry saved himself and he lost his speed, he was stuck in this time and in his rage, he killed my mom."

Danielle paused for a moment as she took a seat on the other side of the desk. "That same year he figured that the only way the Flash was going to be born is if he caused an accident, so he looked for Harrison Wells and his wife at the moment, Tess Morgan. The plans of starting STAR Labs were still on the making so Thawne provoked an accident that killed Tess and left Harrison hurt, that way he could steal the identity and continue STAR Labs under Harrison's name. And as you can see, he succeeded."

Harrison was quiet while listening carefully to the story. He knew that the man they hated wasn't the real Harrison Wells of this Earth but he never wanted to ask further into it, until now. "So what's the story between you and this Thawne?"

"We met when I was still in college. We had this assignment of interviewing someone we found interesting and with Barry talking about him all the time, I schedule a meeting and interviewed him. Years later I was living in Star City, I had my life there when Joe called to say that Barry was in an accident and was in a coma. I moved back here the minute I got a train ticket and started working here." It was a surprise that Danielle didn't feel any sadness at all while telling the story. She felt numb about it, and she found it odd.

"He appeared out of nowhere in his wheelchair, telling us that the doctors were not going to be able to help my brother but he could. So he took Barry inside STAR Labs where he looked after him with the help of Cisco and Caitlin. And after spending more time with him, I fell in love with him. Not even after I discovered the unpleasant truth I dared to leave him. I stood by his side and hid it all from my family and my friends."

"Fell in love with the man who murdered your mother." Danielle shot him a glare. She was tired of people telling her that, and this was no exception.

"Yes, I fell in love with the man that murdered my mother, with the man that swore to kill Barry, to the man that made our lives a living hell when we were young. But I didn't know that back in those days, I didn't even believe the story of a man in a yellow suit killing my mother. So sue me for being a fool in love."

Being already upset with Jesse still being captive and her not able to help her, Danielle suddenly exploded and Harrison hated himself for being the reason she was mad. So before she could lock herself on the bedroom, he took a hold of her wrist and pulled her to him.

"I'm sorry if I made a false accusation on you, it wasn't my intention." He said while lifting her chin with his hand, that way she could look at him. "We do not choose who we love, I came to realize that when I married my Danielle. She was so kind to me and yet I pushed her away. But she remained by my side despite it all, supporting me until her last day. And there's no moment that goes by where I don't regret paying more attention to her, for not being the husband I was supposed to be."

"Then you know that if you want to make it up to her you must get your daughter back. Not for you, but for your wife."

"So you're going to let me steal your brother's speed just to save Jesse, someone who doesn't mean anything to you?"

Danielle's jaw clenched at his remark, but she remained calm. "She might not be my daughter but I promised to help her. I'm not going to risk my brother's life over her, that's true, but I will help her."

"Then you want to start figuring out how to do it because we don't have much time and the more time she spends with that maniac, the closer I will get on hurting Barry."

Hello, everyone, and welcome back!

So here it is, another chapter. It was really fun writing this one, specially the flashback scene. I hope you guys like it.

Looks like things are quite complicated between Danielle and Earth-2 Harrison, eh? One minute they're cool and the next one they're not. I want to explore more into what Harrison will do once the show is back, reason why I don't want them to be in a relationship just yet.

I want to know if you guys want more flashbacks and if yes, what type would you like to see? Remember that your opinion here counts very much and I want to hear you guys.

Anyway, reviews are always welcomed. Thanks for reading!

Dragon Blue 10.- Haha they're back. ;-)

Guest.- Thank you so much, Annie! Your review made my day, I hope you enjoy this chapter as well. And if I know of one, I'll make sure to recommend it. :-)

Byron12.- I know, right? At least there's just one to save now.

P.S for some reason, I can't see the reviews of the last chapter on the site but I have them on my mail, weird.
