I do not own anything, just my OC. x

The house was quiet, probably quieter than usual. No single sound was heard except for the heels pacing around the living room waiting impatiently for someone to arrive. Her hands were shaking, her heart beating fast, her breathing accelerated.

Just two hours ago, Danielle found out she was pregnant. After feeling sick to the bones with many nauseas and being disgusted by everything, she decided to take a pregnancy test and not to her luck, it came out positive. She was always kind to kids, and she actually liked babies, but having one of her own? That was something different, especially since everything that was going on with her marriage.

Finally, the ringing sound of someone at the door let her take a deep breath and open it just to reveal the face of her best friend standing outside. No one said a word as Jay stepped inside and Danielle closed the door, walking back to the same spot she was minutes ago.

"So, is it positive?" Jay finally dared to ask as his friend nodded her head and he sighed. "Dan, a child in your situation can be very risky."

"I was taking the pills and everything. This wasn't supposed to happen." Her right hand rested on her forehead as if she was checking for any fever, but in truth, she was just worried.

"Hey," Jay told her while resting his strong hands on her shoulder. "Whatever happens, I'm here for you. And it doesn't matter what he says, you are always welcomed to my house."

"I appreciate your help, Jay, I really do. But I know Harrison wouldn't reject me and this baby." She tried to sound convincing enough but not even she believed her own words. "I'll—we'll be fine."

"You know where to find me if you need anything."

With a last kiss on Danielle's forehead, Jay walked back to the main door and away from the house, leaving the redhead alone with her thoughts and worries. At least for another half an hour, when the sun was almost set down and her husband's car was heard just outside on the entrance. Harrison arrived from work, a little earlier than usual, with his fancy suit and much stressed look on his face.

"Darling, you're finally home." Danielle, as always, welcomed him with a joyful smile on her face and a sweet kiss on his cheek.

"I'm starving." It was the only words that came from his mouth as he took his suit jacket off and made his way to the kitchen.

"I left you a plate on the table."

Harrison stopped walking, turning to her with an eyebrow raised. "There's something going on." He began, slowly making his way to her and making Danielle even more nervous than she already was.

"I don't know what you're talking about."

"Yes you do. What is it?" He pushed into the subject, making Danielle take some steps back. "Danielle, what is it?"

"I'm pregnant." She finally said, afraid of what his reaction might be. "I was feeling sick and I took the test and it came positive."

Harrison fell silent, letting the words his wife just told him sink inside. He wasn't sure on how to react because no matter how much he didn't like kids, a child of his own could change it all. More than that, he was disappointed at how frightened Danielle was on telling him it.

"My love," He finally began, placing his hands on her cheeks. "We're going to be parents."

Danielle was confused at his reaction. He seemed terrified, mad, but he also seemed happy. "We are." For the first time in the day, Danielle's lips formed a smile.

"I love you, so much."

"I love you too, Harrison."

The night went by slower than usual. Everything about being locked inside the pipeline made Danielle sick, disgusted with what they told her she tried to do with her brother. But more than all, she was furious at what Zoom did to her.

The whole kidnap accident was never intended for Barry to give up his speed in exchange of Danielle, it was for Zoom to find the perfect time to control Danielle and send her back to her Earth to kill Barry. What kind of man was he? Danielle thought.

"When your brother asked for my help with you, I was expecting you to be at the nursing room, not locked up here like a criminal." Harrison's teasing voice filled the silence on the place.

Danielle remained seat on the floor, glaring up at him. "You surely took your time to get here. Let me guess, you didn't feel like helping me but Cisco somehow pushed you into doing it."

"You can say that." His hand pressed the button to open the cell Danielle was, making her stand up and walk outside. "Shall we?"

Danielle simply walked past him without saying a word. Her head felt heavy, as if someone was applying some type of pressure against her temples. But she decided to stay quiet and wait until Harrison could examine her.

"Dr. Snow found some microchip on your brain. Any idea how it got inside?"

"Do you think that if I knew there was a microchip inside me I would stay quiet about it?" Danielle asked sarcastically, making Harrison sigh heavily.

"Let's just get over with this."

Harrison walked over to the computer with the digital version of the x-ray Caitlin had performed the day before. He adjusted his glasses as he tried to get a clear version of the chip, but not even with the enlargement was he able to say the type of chip it is.

"This won't be very helpful. I need something better than just an x-ray." He finally spoke, turning his attention to her.

"What? You want to open my head and find your way into the chip?"

Harrison shrugged, standing up to walk to the x-ray on the glass. "Unless we find a way to deactivate the chip, there's no technology that will let us remove it and a surgery can be very dangerous."

"You're a goddamn scientist, you make technology for the future, you are one of the most intelligent persons in the entire world so I trust you can find a way to deactivate this chip and stop me from eventually killing my brother."

Harrison was silent at her words. She was desperate, but he understood that since it was the same feeling he had to free his daughter. "This job of stealing the Flash's speed could be easier if I just leave the chip inside of you."

"Watch it." Danielle warned him with her eyes narrowed. But even now, she was feeling too tired to fight him and she really needed his help. "Look, the last thing I need is my family being afraid of me and being in the necessity of locking me in that horrible place. If you want my help then you need to help me."

"I don't need your help or anybody else's, I can do this alone." His tone gave away that he was somehow desperate and angry at the same time.

So before he could walk any further into the door, Danielle stood up from the bed and reached out for Harrison's hand. "You don't have to be alone in this, so stop pushing me to the side. If you don't want their help, fine, but at least let me help you."

Harrison's eyes looked from the floor to hers, his hand holding hers tightly enough to not hurt her. "Why are you doing this? I would hurt your brother in order to get my daughter, I can betray you all any moment…you don't know me, you don't know of what I am capable of yet you keep offering your help."

"I know that you won't hurt Barry because that's not how you are. You are cocky, proud, and even an egoist, but you're not a murderer. And I know that if you ever kill someone, you will have a good reason to do it." While talking, Harrison's free hand traveled from her arm to rest on the side of her neck, slowly pulling her closer. "I'm sorry if you don't want my help but know that I won't just sit down with my arms crossed and see you do all the work by yourself."

Harrison didn't respond at her, he simply leaned down and crushed his lips to hers. At first, Danielle didn't know if to kiss him back or not. She didn't want to catch feelings for someone who isn't even from her Earth, someone who will eventually disappear to his home one day and never come back. But it was too late, her lips began to move in response to his loving kiss.

. . .

After so many attempts on making some type of gun that could help them extract the microchip from Danielle or figure out some way of making a surgery, Harrison grew tired. He had Cisco's help and even Jay's, but nothing worked, they were doing something wrong and none of them could figure out what it was. Danielle on the other hand, was desperate. She appreciated the effort they were making, but she was starting to lose her head, if she hasn't lost it already.

"Hey, big sis." Barry, who was finally allowed to see the woman locked up in the pipeline, asked. After the few hard days of dealing with Patty being attacked and the new meta-human that was a real challenge and now, the news of the Reverse Flash coming to this Earth, Barry needed some time with her. More than that, he needed to tell her what was going on with the yellow speedster being in their city.

"At last. I was starting to miss you." Danielle answered as she walked closer to the door, letting Barry see the obvious tired face she had. "What did you do to convince them to let you in here?"

Barry gave her half a smile, crossing his arms to be more comfortable. "I've missed you too, Dan. But Harry told me they're nowhere close to finding out a way to extract that chip."

"Yeah, all the attempts have failed." There was obvious disappointment in her voice, making Barry wonder if it was the right thing to tell her about the unexpected visitor. "I guess whatever Zoom used to get it in was really advanced technology, even for Wells and Jay."

Danielle noticed Barry not paying her complete attention, like if he was distracted with something that made her curious. "Barry? Are you listening?"

"Hm? Oh, yeah." He said, lying since he had no idea what she just said.

"You seem a little off."

The scarlet speedster sighed, running a hand through his hair. "There's two things I have to tell you. Something that's not too pleasant to hear and something that we can't figure out the why."

"Well, what is it?"

It took Barry few seconds to find the words to say, since he didn't want to stress her or worry her more than she already was. "The Reverse Flash is back. Eobard Thawne, the original one, he's here."

Danielle was taken off guard by those words. She never imagined to see him in his original body once again after the day their Earth's Harrison slowly disappeared and eventually turned into Thawne. "What's the other?" Frighten, she asked, not even meeting her brother's eyes.

"Jay is sick, something that's at cellular level." If the other news wasn't enough, this news about Jay was even worse. "Caitlin suggested finding his Earth-1 doppelganger but so far, we haven't found him."

"I have to help him. Barry, he's been there for me ever since we met and now it's my turn to help him."

"Dan, I understand you want to do something, but we don't know if the chip will turn you against me once again. It's something very risky to do."

"I know it is, but if anything happens, Harrison made a serum able to stop me." She argued, trying to get Barry to agree on letting her out. "Please, brother. I am already tired of being locked here like some criminal."

Barry knew it could be wrong to let her out but after all, she was his sister and seeing her locked was not right. "Fine, but I think it's better if we don't get too close. You help Jay and we stop Thawne."

"Don't say that name." Her way of saying it made Barry get chills down his spine, making him clear his throat.

"Right. I'll send Harry to get you out." He said before disappearing from the pipeline but not closing it.

Danielle had to wait for other 10 minutes until not Harrison but Jay appeared and let her free from the cell. Danielle didn't wait for him to say something, she just wrapped her arms around him and he did the same, bringing her close.

"I'm sorry."

"Don't be. This isn't your fault or anyone else's but Zoom." He assured her with a small kiss on her forehead.

"I want to help you in any way I can. So let's get on our detective character and find your doppelganger."

Jay just smiled at the enthusiasm of the woman as both made their way upstairs and outside of STAR Labs. Being this the first time Danielle was out in more than four days, it felt so good to finally feel the sun on her skin. It felt like she had been trapped inside the pipeline for longer and now she felt free.

"Any idea where we can start looking?" Danielle asked as they got inside her car, though it was Jay who would drive and not her.

"How about we search for the class that graduated in science the year we graduated?" Jay suggested, turning the car on.

"Could be a good start. But we need permission to see those files and I don't think they'll let us have them just because."

In that moment, Jay turned to Danielle with a look that made Danielle's light bulb turn on. "Being locked up made me forget I can made people do whatever I want them to do."

"You will also want these." Jay handed her the box containing her green eye contacts. "Unless you'll erase their memory of us there."

"I'm not sure how messed up my powers are after whatever Zoom did to me so I won't risk it." She responded while attempting to place both contacts. "Barry didn't tell me much about what's going on with you. Want to tell me more?"

"Do you know a drug called Velocity 6?" He asked, glancing at her but Danielle just shook her head. "It's some type of serum to increase speed in a speedster like myself or Barry. I took that and it caused me to lose my speed. It's a very dangerous drug."

"Is it the one that's making you sick?"

Jay nodded, his eyes stick to the road. "I recently took another when I saved Wells and it affected me even more."

"Wait, wait. When did you saved Harrison?"

"Detective Spivot shot him after she broke into STAR Labs while following him. The bullet was too hard to take from a surgery so I had to use my speed and vibrate through his body to save him."

Danielle raised an eyebrow since no one told her about that incident. "And this Velocity 6 drug will do the same to others if they take it? Like Barry, for example."

"Yes, that's why I told Caitlin that they shouldn't make more. It's dangerous and far as we know, there's no cure."

Danielle said nothing else as they arrived to the university. It had been so long since she stepped a foot in there, but it was all so different. Both stepped outside, making their way to the science department where an old lady, probably on her 70s, checked the files on her desk.

"Evening, ma'am. My name is Danielle Allen and this is my friend Jay. We are wondering if there's a way we can look into the archive to look for a class that graduated from here not so long ago."

The old lady adjusted her glasses and looked at Danielle, then at Jay. "Where is your permission?" She asked, Danielle and Jay exchanging looks.

"I don't think you understand, ma'am. You will lead us to the archives and let us have a look at them." Danielle spoke normally but behind the lenses, her eyes were glowing violet as she mind-controlled the lady.

The lady behind the desk simply stood up and began walking through the hallway without saying any words. Danielle gave Jay a wink before following the other woman, reaching the last door on the left wall. After the old lady opened the door, Danielle made sure to tell her to stay there as she and Jay could search for the papers.

Eventually, Danielle was the one to find the class that graduated by the time Jay was supposed to graduate. Both began reading through the names, but there was no one with his name. They tried looking into other class behind but nothing.

"Are you sure you studied here?" Danielle asked, closing the last list and placing it back inside the box.

"If I studied Science in this Earth, I must've studied here." Jay sighed, a sigh of defeat. "Maybe we should use the face recognition system Cisco has on his computer."

"Let's hope it works."

After erasing the old lady's memory and leaving her back to do her work, the both exited the place and began walking back to the car. But while they were walking, Danielle caught a glimpse of a familiar face walking across the gardens wearing glasses and carrying a briefcase.

"What's the matter?" Jay asked upon seeing Danielle stop walking. She simply motioned him to see the man walking and that's when it hit him. "That's me."

"How do I look?"

"Why would you ask that?" Jay asked confused.

"Wait here." Leaving Jay still confused, Danielle casually walked toward the same direction as the other man. She noticed he was distracted reading some small book, so she carefully crashed into him, the book falling to the ground. "Oh, I'm so sorry. I was distracted and didn't see where I was going."

Both kneeled down to get the book, exchanging some look before the man took a hold of the book and stood up. "It was my fault, I was too into the book."

Danielle smiled at him, taking her hand out for a shake. "My name's Danielle Allen."

"Hunter Zolomon, pleasure to meet you." Weird, Danielle thought. Jay's doppelganger but not carrying the same name.

"The pleasure is mine." She said while retrieving her hand from the shake. "Are you a professor here?"

"Yeah. Science professor." Zolomon answered, adjusting his glasses. "And you? I don't think I've seen you here before."

"Oh, no, I'm a psychiatrist. I was just taking a small walk around my old school." Danielle answered with a small smile while controlling just a small part of him, just enough for him to speak about himself. "You have quite a unique name."

Hunter chuckled nervously. "I've been told that before. My biological mother died during childbirth and I was adopted by the Zolomon family, they named me Hunter."

"I'm sorry to hear that." Danielle placed a hand on his shoulder, glad that the small controlling thing was working. "Well, it was nice to meet you, Hunter, but I must get going."

"Wait!" He called for her, making Danielle stop walking. "You think we can see each other again? I mean, if you want, that is."

Danielle raised an eyebrow before taking her small notebook and pen out of her purse and wrote her number on one of the pages, giving it to him. "See you around, Hunter."

Once said that, Danielle walked back to her car, where Jay was waiting inside. "Well?" He asked the second she got inside.

"Meet Hunter Zolomon, a Science professor here. His mother died during childbirth so he was adopted by the Zolomon family, reason why he doesn't have the same name as you. But, physical, he is you so we can work on a cure. He has my number and we'll meet again soon. Once I can gain his trust, we can get his healthy cells and help you."

"Danielle," Jay didn't dare to look at the woman, his left hand rubbing his forehead. "There's nothing we can do with him."

"What do you mean?"

"I've been thinking about this since we were in the archives. My body was modified when I became a speedster. Even if we are the same person, he doesn't have the same cells as I do and they won't work."

Danielle looked at him with a disappointment face before leaning back on the seat. "So this of finding your Earth-1 doppelganger was a waste of time?"

"Well, now we know I exist on this Earth even if it's not with the same name." He tried to cheer her up, but it wasn't working.

"So what now? What's the alternative?"

"We can find Zoom and get my speed back. That's the only way."

Danielle sighed, finally looking at him. "All the bad happening to us is because of this man, whoever he is. When we find him, I'll make sure to destroy him the way he is destroying us."

"Hey," Jay moved his hands to hold hers. "We are all alive, we are strong and we will get through this together. Zoom is just one man against all of us."

"Because of him you're dying, my brother almost died, Jesse is still captive, and I am under his control. He is just one man, but he has managed to do more bad than a whole army."

"We'll stop him, I know we will." Danielle gave him an unsure smile before Jay leaned on his seat. "Let's get back to STAR Labs, I have to talk about this with Caitlin."

The road back was silent, except for the music on the radio. When they arrived, Jay excused to go and find Caitlin as Danielle walked inside the Cortex. It was weird that no one was there, but maybe they were busy with the other matter going around.

To her surprise, one of the monitors of the table was on with a camera from a cell on the pipeline. Inside that cell, there was a man, a man she recognized the moment she saw him. Not only the suit gave him away, but his golden hair was the same hair her son used to have.

Not thinking it twice, Danielle hurried down to the pipeline before the others arrived. She unlocked the entrance and called for the cell. She slowly walked further, but not much.

"Who is there? Is that you, Flash?" His voice was the same as the last time she saw him before he disappeared completely, making her heart beat fast. "Who are you?" He finally asked once Danielle was in the light.

"You don't know who I am?" Danielle asked and the man looked at her with a confused look.

"Should I know you?"

"You're Eobard Thawne, you're from the future. You got your powers by copying The Flash's ones since you idolized him but ended up hating him and being one of his adversaries. But you're here now, why are you here?"

"How do you know me?" The man walked closer to the glass, taking a better look of the woman. "How do you know I am from the future?"

"That would mess up the timeline, wouldn't it?" Danielle asked while wiping away the small tear that threat on coming down her eye. "You don't know who I am now, but I'm sure we'll meet later."

With that said, Danielle took steps back for the door to close, leaving the speedster confused but intrigued to know who that mysterious woman was. Danielle, on the other hand, felt a relief on her chest. Like if seeing her original lover's face was what she needed to once again, be happy and stop suffering.

"Looks like someone had their early morning coffee." Harrison greeted her as she arrived to the Cortex and noticed everyone on the nursery room.

"What's going on there?"

"Ramon. It appears that while this Thawne guy is still around here, the timeline is unstable and he is lost in-between." Danielle raised an eyebrow at his words and was about to walk to them when Harrison grabbed her arm and stopped her. "Barry is there and you can go full killer mode and we certainly don't want that."

The former green eyed woman sighed, moving a hand through her hair. "Fine. I'll go home for tonight and try to get some rest from the pipeline. If anything happens, please, let me know."

Harrison nodded at her and while she was placing her coat on, he approached from behind, his hands wrapping around her waist but his eyes remained on the others at the nursery room. "I found a way to steal some of your brother's speed without hurting him. It's going to be a small dose, just enough for Zoom to let Jesse go."

"If it won't hurt Barry, then I'm fine with it." Danielle turned around and gave him a single pat on the chest. "I'll go and rest now. Feel free to bother me if anything happens."

Hello, everybody, and welcome back.

First of all, I want to say sorry for taking so long to upload but as you know, school gets on the way with projects, homework, and exams. So please, don't think I abandoned this story, it's just the lack of time that's keeping me from writing.

Anyway, how are you guys liking this new episodes? Earth-2 is a very cool place to be, if it wasn't for Zoom. What's your theory on Jay and Zoom? I would like to know who you think Zoom is and if Jay (SPOILERS) really died or if he is the man trapped on Zoom's lair.

Remember that reviews are always welcomed. Thanks for the support on this story and for the new follows. x
