When i opened up my eyes, it felt like i had a huge hangover. "Ow..." i moaned. "She's awake!" a female voice said. Once i finally managed to sit up, i looked around the room.
"Where... am i?" i said, softly. "You're at S.T.A.R labs." the woman said, as she approached me.
"My name is Caitlin Snow, and who are you?" i looked at the lady, she was really pretty.
"I... emm..." i couldn't remember who i was. "I..."
Caitlin looked worried. "You have a heavy concussion. You will get your memory back with time." Caitlin said.
"Look who's awake." A shorter boy with black, shoulder length hair entered the room. "My name is Cisco." he said. I nodded at Cisco. "She doesn't remember who she is, but she will get her memory back soon." Caitlin said.
"That's no surprise, look at her, she's beaten black and blue." as he said that, i looked up. Did it really look that bad? "Let me see..." i said.
Caitlin handed me a hand mirror, and i stared at myself. I had a black eye, and some bruising on my face, there was dried out blood, resting on my lower lip. I looked worried. "Who did this to me?" i wondered.
"According to... The Flash it was a very bulky man. It was a metahuman with an iron arm. i'm surprised you didn't break anything."
I looked back at myself, it made me sad seeing myself like this. "Why would someone do this to me?" i wondered.
The Flash entered the room. "Oh, she's awake, how is she?" he wondered. "she doesn't remember anything." Cisco said.
The Flash knelt down right next to me, and i looked at him. "I'm glad you're okay." he said.
I reached for his hand, and he took mine. "Is this really... you?" i wondered. "Are you really... him?"
Caitlin and Cisco smiled at each other. "Yes... i'm him." the man said.
"Who was this man that attacked you? was he a friend? or a boyfriend?" he wondered. As soon as he said the word 'boyfriend' i got a flashback of Lenny.
"Lenny!" i called out. Caitlin and Cisco looked at each other, confused.
"Come again?" Caitlin said. "Lenny... he's my boyfriend... please tell me he's okay!"
"Is... this your boyfriend?" The Flash showed me a picture of Lenny, i studied it, and nodded slowly when i recognize him. "That's him..."
The Flash looked up at his friends. "I'm afraid i have some bad news." he said.
"Lenny... he wasn't human... he was a metahuman." he said. I looked confused. "a... metahuman?"
"Yes... he may appear human, but he's not he had some very special powers and unfortunatly he used them for evil." the Flash said. "So i had to finish him off."
I looked at him, with a shocked expression. "Did you... kill him?"
The Flash stood up, and nodded. "I had no choice... he was going to kill the both of us if i didn't do anything."
"But... "
"Flash is right." it was a very deep mans voice coming from the other room. We all looked up at the man. He was tall, had the brightest of blue eyes and wore glasses that looked really good on him.
"You should be lucky to be alive, if Flash didn't show up you wouldn't be here right now." he said. He walked into the room, and faced me. As soon as he saw me, his bitter looked changed into a shocked look. "Did he do that to you?" he wondered.
I nodded. "I guess so." i said. "I'm sorry i haven't introduced myself yet, my name is Harrison Wells."
I looked up. "I've heard that name before somewhere." i said. "I'm the founder of S.T.A.R labs." he said.
"You're that very smart dude." i said. Everyone grinned as they looked at Wells, he didn't look quite as amused as they did.
"I guess that's how you could call me, but i prefer Harrison."
"I remember!" i called out. It was a few hours later, and i finally remembered. "What do you remember?" Caitlin wondered. "My name..." i said.
"My name... is Amber."
"Well... it's very nice to meet you Amber." Cisco said.
"I just..." i said. "I just don't know where i should go." i said. "I remember... my entire house is ruined." i said. "It's burned down."
Caitlin looked worried.
"You need a place to stay." she said. "I'll check and see if my mother has any room but... i haven't talked to her in years." i said.
"That won't be necessary." It was Dr. Wells voice. "You can stay over at my place, i have a spare bedroom." he said.
Was this for real? Did this stranger really offer me a place to stay? "Are you sure Dr Wells?" Caitlin wondered.
"Oh yeah, i could use some company." he said.
It was very kind of him to offer me a place, but he didn't know me? I wouldn't allow stranger into my house. "After all, we kind of destroyed your house, so we owe you." he said.
I looked at him, and nodded. " Thank you so much doctor." i said. "Oh please, call me Harrison."
"No one's allowed to call him by his first name." Caitlin whispered over to Cisco.
"Why don't i bring you home right now? you could use some rest." he said. "You have to recover."
"That's very kind of you, sir." i said. "Thank you all so much for your help." i thanked Cisco and Caitlin, Flash wasn't here at the moment, i should thank him later if i ever ran into him again.
"So... this is your room, you like it so far?" Dr. Wells lived in a huge luxury appartment, it made me jealous, compared to this, my house was a wreck. Well typically it is a wreck right now.
"It's perfect." i said. "Thank you for offering me a place to stay."
Dr. Wells leaned against the doorway, studying me.
There was something so... uncomforting about that man. It was like he could see straight through you.
"This room belonged to my daughter, but she moved out many years ago." he didn't actually tell me that his daughter was dead, just like his wife.
"She has a really good taste in furniture." i said, as i said down on the edge of the queen sized bed.
"If you need anything, just call." he said, and disappeared.
I looked around, the room was huge, bigger than my entire livingroom it felt like. It had a queen sized bed, two night stands on each side of the bed, a huge walk in closet, a bookcase with loads of history books which i felt like his daughter wouldn't even read, and a desk. A desk with 2 monitors.
Something told me this wasn't exactly his daughters room but more like an office/guest room.
There was something so... mysterious about that man, and if he really carried secrets around, i could probably find out about them during my stay.
"So... miss... Amber, tell me more about yourself." dr Wells said, as we both sat down at his dinner table.
This was the doctor Wells from Earth 2 i didn't have a clue there was another doctor Wells before him. I thought it was miraculous he could walk again, but with the technology of today, and knowing how smart doctor Wells was, i figured he may have come up with a solution for his leg problem.
I sighed deeply, i was still recovering from what happened a short while back.
"I was born and raised in Fall River, Massachusetts." i said. "But i moved here because the job oppertunities were bigger." i said. "That's when i met Lenny, the man of my dreams." i smiled. Doctor Wells looked up at me, worried. "Is he really the man of your dreams if he beats the crap out of you?" he wondered.
I looked up at him, he stared back at me, with a very blank expression. I just couldn't read him.
I shrugged. "He may had his flaws but he really cared." i said.
Harrison crossed his legs. "It all just changed the night of that... storm." i said. Harrison leaned over as soon as i started talking about the storm. "What about it?"
"I... got struck by the lightning." i started, as i stared at the white table. "Was unconscious for a few weeks." i said. "I almost died... but when i woke up i was... normal?" i said. "It just seems that everyone that's been hit by the lightning all of a sudden have these weird powers?" i shooked my head in confusion.
"And i just... don't"
Harrison looked up at me. "That's impossible." he said. "Maybe you haven't discovered your powers yet." he said.
"I could offer you help." i looked up right back into his eyes, the eyes that make me nervous, and uneasy.
"You... can?" i wondered. "We could set you up for a body scan later on, when you are ready for it." he said. "If i have any powers... i just need to know how to live with them."
Harrison nodded. "Agreed, i do not want you to turn out like those evil metahumans Barry has to stop each and every day."
"Barry?" i wondered. "I figured, since you are part of the team, you might want to know who the Flash really is... He may reveal it to you when he's ready, but you can call him Barry." Harrison said.
I nodded. I've heard about a Barry before, my collegue Iris talked about a guy named Barry sometimes, but it couldn't be him right? he sounded like a dork.
"We will scan you tomorrow." Harrison said. "If... you're feeling any better ofcourse."
I nodded and stood up. "Thank you once again doctor Wells." i said. I wasn't comfortable calling him by his first name yet, but then again, i wasn't comfortable being around him at all.
There was something about him, when, looking into his eyes it's like everything suddenly fades away and all that matters are him and me.
But it didn't make sense, he was at least 20 years older than me, and i just met him in the first place, i couldn't have all these strange feelings and thoughts about him.
I entered the guest room and leaned against the wall, gasping for air.
