I do not own anything, just my OC. x
When Cisco was back to STAR Labs and told the news of Barry being captured by Zoom, Harrison understood why Danielle wanted to look for her brother so badly. But he also knew that the blue speedster was out for blood, his blood, and probably it was better for her to be away from him. But if something bad happened to her, he would never forgive himself.
Meanwhile, Danielle took a cab to the CCPD. She had no idea of where Killer Frost could be, but if she could use her powers to get into Ronnie's brain, maybe she could still find something before everything in his brain could be lost. But she had to be careful, no one in the city could see her or she could put herself in danger.
The CCPD was the same as the one in her Earth, which was a plus to her because she knew the place better than any other place. Police officers were all running around the place, apparently Zoom was delivering some messages of capturing Wells, putting every civilian's life in danger.
Danielle managed to get past the main entrance to the back of the place where the lockers were. She was lucky to find just one woman leaving her stuff in one of the lockers. When the brunette noticed Danielle, her hand immediately moved to the gun holster on her side.
"Ma'am, you cannot be here." She calmly said and Danielle just lifted her head, the officer recognizing her. "Mrs. Wells? I—I thought you were dead."
"We can make this the simple way or the hard way." Danielle said while locking the door and walking further to the other woman. "I need access to the newest body brought to you today. Either you can help me or get out of my way."
The woman tighten the grip on the gun and Danielle noticed it. "I do not believe on the dead coming back to life."
"Do you believe in the impossible," Danielle stepped closer to see the name on the badge. "Officer Amber?"
The officer blinked several times before nodding. "Then you must believe me when I say I'm not the person you're thinking. Now, if you stay quiet about it and help me, I'll put on a good word on Detective West and get yourself a promotion."
Officer Amber doubted it at first, but her grip started to loosen. "If you're not Mrs. Wells, then who are you?"
"I'm her twin sister, you can call me Emily." She held her hand up for a shake and was surprised when the officer indeed shook her hand.
"You two look very alike."
"Yeah, been told that." Danielle smiled a bit, relief that the officer believed in everything she was saying. "Now, you must know Zoom is eager to get Dr. Wells, right? Well, Amber, I need your help to find one of his minions, Killer Frost."
"We just had two bodies arrive today and Killer Frost wasn't one of them." The officer said, walking to the back of the room to get a police uniform. "Put this on and I can take you to the morgue."
It didn't take the redhead too long to change into the new attire, leaving her other suit beneath but without the other officer knowing about it. Once they were ready, Officer Amber told Danielle, or Emily to her, that it was better if she would cover her face with a hat since not a lot of people would take it well to see her face.
The road down to the morgue was a success, and Danielle was glad that they didn't encounter Iris or some serious explanation would be necessary. So once in the morgue, Officer Amber told the doctor inside to follow her upstairs to give Danielle the time necessary to do what she had to.
It felt horrible being in a place where many dead people had been, but it was all part of the plan. She walked to the first body in the table and hesitating a bit, pulled the white cover just to reveal the face of not Ronnie, but Cisco. Her hand moved to cover her mouth since she never imagined to see her best friend's doppelganger dead.
"This Earth is pretty messed up." She mumbled to herself as she covered the body once again and moved to the next one.
Finally, Ronnie's body. It was not easy to see it once again since the last time she saw him, she failed to save him. Making sure no one was around, Danielle placed her hands on both sides of the dead man's head and began looking into his memories. She saw some memories of the past, memories of him and Caitlin torturing people, agreeing to work for Zoom, etc. Until one memory of the couple being at the forest and Frost making an in ice bridge to a cave on the mountain caught her attention.
"Got you."
After getting what she needed, Danielle knocked on the door twice to let the office know she was ready. Officer Amber opened the door and allowed her to get out. "Got what you wanted?"
"Yes, Office, thanks for your help."
With a last nod, Danielle made her way back upstairs and to the exit. From the corner of her eyes, she noticed a familiar face giving orders to some of the young officers around, Iris. She was right on knowing that Iris would've made a good detective, but Joe always refused to let her into the dangerous job.
Iris felt someone watching her and for a moment, their eyes met. The young detective was not sure what her eyes were seeing, but Danielle simply gave her a wink before turning around and walking away. Iris excused herself from the officers to follow, but when she got outside, Danielle was already gone, or so did Iris thought since she was just hiding behind a tree until Iris gave up and turned back inside.
So once Iris was gone, Danielle walked to where the officer had the cars parked. There was only two cars in there, one of them completely locked up while the other had the windows down. She casually walked to the one with the windows down and glanced inside to see if the keys were somewhere inside. Lucky for her, the keys were ready for her to start the car, and so she did, driving away toward the outsides of the city into the woods.
Being in the woods was something Danielle always enjoyed. The feel of the fresh air against her skin and the smell of nature reminded her so much of her mother and how she always prepared peanut and butter sandwiches for both her and Barry.
But this time, the woods felt different. It was not the same happy feel and Danielle was not sure if she liked it. The temperature made it feel like it was the middle of winter, but nothing was frozen up so that was a good sign.
"I do not do well with intruders." The voice was similar to her friend back in Earth-1, but she sounded more dangerous. "What are you doing here?"
Danielle slowly turned around, holding her hands up in the air. "I didn't know the woods were now a property, I thought it was for everyone."
Killer Frost walked around the woman, taking a good look at her. "Another outsider, how exciting."
"How can you know I'm an outsider?"
"A dead woman walking among the living? Even for this city that's something impossible." Frost kept walking around, her hands starting to produce ice as if ready to attack. "What are you doing here?"
"I heard you know where Zoom might be keeping The Flash." Even if inside she was kind of afraid, Danielle tried not to show it and take it all easy.
"Why would I tell you that? Do you really think you stand a chance against Zoom?" After asking that, Frost lifted her hands up and fired at Danielle, making the woman jump to the other side while making a shield to protect herself.
"Ah, another meta-human." The ice woman lowered her hands and walked closer. "If I hand you to Zoom, maybe he will forgive me and set me free."
Danielle felt her body tense as she used the tree near to stand up. She wanted this to be a nice and calm talk, but Frost didn't seem to think the same. So with her mind, Danielle began to choke her and lift her few centimeters from the ground. Frost gasped, struggling to find whatever that was choking her, but there was nothing.
"Tell me where I can find Zoom." Her violet eyes were glowing and filled with anger. That's when Frost knew she was not playing. "I won't ask it again, Frost."
"T-there's a cave, up in a mountain five miles from here." The white haired woman said, coughing to get some air in her lungs. "I can take y-you there."
"I got all I need." After saying that, Danielle let the woman drop into the floor and knocked her out.
The road toward the place Frost told her was fast since it wasn't that far. In fact, when Danielle reached the cliff, there was a big tower crane that lead to the entrance of a cave on top of the mountain. She looked around to see if there was a way for her to climb, but there was none, the only way was to climb the tower and walk all the way to the entrance.
"You better not get yourself killed, Danielle." Taking a deep breath, the redhead began to climb up. It wasn't an enjoyable adventure, but it was more than what she has ever done before.
When she reached the top, everything seemed so small. It was a very high place, good think she wasn't afraid of heights. There was another deep breath she took before starting to move towards the cave. Her hands were shaking, her heart was pounding fast and hard as she walked through the grates.
Finally, she got to the end and there was a simple jump she had to make to reach the cave. If Zoom didn't end up killing her, missing the jump could. So with all her strength, Danielle made the jump, the small heels from her shoes almost making her slip. She let the air she was holding out before looking around to make sure Zoom was not there.
The violet eyed woman walked further, being silent and as careful as she could. There were some voices coming from inside and she recognized them as Jesse and Barry, so she hurried to walk further just to find Jesse on the same cell as before and Barry on one similar to hers.
"Danielle?" Barry was the first one to see her, an excitement filling his body. "Wait, you shouldn't be here. Zoom can come back any second."
Danielle leaned closer to the glass, placing her hand on the glass. "Are you okay? Did Zoom hurt you?"
"No, no, he didn't. I'm fine."
Making sure he was alright, Danielle then walked to Jesse, whose eyes filled with tears when seeing the woman again. "You came back."
Danielle placed a hand on Jesse's one, squeezing it. "I told you I was getting you out of here."
The redhead walked back to scan the rest of the area. He had made some adjustments as well as adding some else in another glass cell. As much as she wanted to ask, there was no time to do it.
"Is there a way you can get out of this?" Danielle asked to her brother but he just shook his head. "Then I'll find a way."
A hammer on a near table seemed the right thing for her to break a glass. She motioned Barry to step behind before swinging the hammer toward the glass, but to her surprise, it didn't do any damage to the glass. But she didn't give up and once again, took another swing after another after another.
"Stop it, it's useless." Barry told her.
Danielle was about to say something when a cold blade made its way through her abdomen. Jesse was the first one to scream, trying to free herself from the chains. Barry remained still, in shock, looking at her sister as she looked down at the stain of blood forming on the police shirt before looking up at her attacker.
"You failed to get the Flash's speed. Now, you die." The distorted voice of Zoom told her while pushing the blade deeper.
"No!" Barry began to pound on the glass with his fists. He needed to vibrate through the glass again and be successful this time.
Danielle tried to use her mental powers to hurt Zoom, but she was too weak. Her eyes began to cloud, her breathing became unsteady…she was dying and everyone in the room knew it. So as Zoom was distracted killing the redhead, Harrison, Cisco and the others found their way up to the hideout.
Harrison, upon seeing the scene with the woman, fired at Zoom as fast as he could, sending him to the other side of the room. Danielle's body fell into the ground as Zoom's hand took away the blade from her, letting the blood flow out of her body faster than before.
Earth-2 Barry ran to the cell where his other self was being held at, speaking some words of encouragement for him to vibrate out. And not only was his words helpful, but seeing his sister in his need made him get out of the glass.
"Get Jesse." Danielle said to Harrison as he knelt down her. "Get her out of here."
"We're not leaving without you." Harrison assured her while Barry joined the both, nodding once at Harrison for him to get Jesse.
As Frost and Harrison freed Jesse, Cisco kept his gun pointed at Zoom, who was attempting to get up from the ground. Both Iris and other Barry were seeing the scene, unsure on what they could do until Barry got brave enough to go to Danielle.
"You need to get her to a hospital." The glassed man said to his other self. "She doesn't have much time, you need to go back to your Earth."
"You look like the nerd I always thought my Barry would grow up to be." Danielle managed to say to the doppelganger of her brother, gaining a smile from him.
"I'm glad I could get to see you once again, sis." The man told her through some tears forming in his eyes. "Even if we don't exactly know each other."
"I wish this could be better times." She joked, coughing as breathing was beginning to be hard.
Once Frost and Harrison were done saving Jesse, Frost began to attack Zoom to keep him on the ground as Harrison helped Barry get the woman off the floor and carefully carried her on his arms.
"Allen, we need to go." He said and Barry looked over at Zoom.
Everyone began to exit the cave, fearing for their lives if Frost wasn't enough to hold the blue speedster. Danielle told them about the police car parked near and that way, everyone made it to STAR Labs safe, Barry being in the need of speeding Danielle toward the office and placing her on the bed.
"We need to apply pressure." She could barely say and Barry nodded, taking the shirt that was his and shredding it to wrap it around the woman's waist.
Soon, everyone began to arrive. Cisco reminding everyone it was time for them to leave and got back to their Earth before the breach got closed. The goodbyes to the Earth-2 Barry and Iris had to be quick as well as Harrison gathering few of his things from the lab since he agreed on going back to Earth-1 with Jesse. Danielle felt more than glad to have them both over, so she didn't fight it.
With everything ready, Barry opened the door to where the breach was located as Cisco let Danielle help herself from his shoulders and along with Jesse, they were the first ones to appear on the other side of the breach. Joe hurried to help Cisco and worried, looked at the woman. "What happened?"
"Zoom stabbed her." Cisco said as Danielle once again began to cough. "She needs medical help."
Caitlin hurried to get the clinical bed they had ready in case of an emergency as the others came back through the breach. When finally Harrison and Barry were back, Jay closed the breach and even through her pain, Danielle managed to smile.
But the happiness lasted shortly as Zoom's hand went through Jay's chest and dragged him inside the breach. Her world suddenly stopped once again. But she could not do anything as the blood loss was already too much for her to handle, eventually making her pass out. Joe hurried to feel for her pulse, but it was too weak it was nearly impossible to tell if she had any.
Barry knew Caitlin was not going to be much of a help, so she took the woman on his arms and speed her off to the hospital, where he requested immediate help. All they could do now was wait.
Hello, everyone!
I was going to wait until next week to upload this chapter but since I know you guys wanted to know what happened, well, here it is. I had to change some stuff from where they save Barry and Jesse to fit the story, but it was just a small change, hope you don't mind.
Anyway, let me know what you guys think of this heroic, or probably stupid, act of Danielle. Her brother and "daughter" are safe, but she's not and she's really close to death. Reviews are welcomed, as always, let me hear you guys.
darnice.- He just injected her the same serum they have been using to knock her down since the travel to Earth-2 could've been dangerous and give away to Zoom that they were going there sooner. It was also to prevent any kind of accident in the road. Thanks for reading the story!
ReverseFlash32.- I am! Haha thank you so much, hope you enjoy this one as well.
Bryon12.- I agree that the real Jay is probably the one in the cell and Zoom is in fact Hunter Zolomon. If you haven't seen the sneak peek for the next episode, they will tell us the backstory of Zoom and the name of Zolomon is on the STAR Labs' team monitor. So probably all our questions will be solved next episode of the show. And yes, she has one but Barry still thought it was better to not get involved.
