A/N: Smutty smut smut. It’s only my second time doing this, so hope it’s okay. Just had a good idea, and there’s probably going to be a part two, where they have to deal with it if you want it? Also, there are two types of beginnings to it. One where Reader is already drunk and Harry finds her, and one where they get drunk together! Have fun! 

Also, unprotected sex is a no-no, bad idea, don’t condone it!

Also GIF's aren't mine!

Reader already drunk beginning:

The past few days had been tough for you. The metas Alchemy was creating kept showing up everywhere, the metas already created by the particle accelerator explosion seemed to try to keep up with Alchemy's. 

Captain Singh wasn’t making it easy at the precinct. He had benched you because of the lack of sleep and focus you were having, you were acting out over the smallest things. So naturally you had needed some time away from everything. Away from home, away from work, and away from people. 

The team had gone home for the day a few hours ago, and you had made your way to the lounge area of S.T.A.R. labs and the fridge you knew had beers in it. You didn’t quite keep to the beers, you had also managed to find a flask of whiskey and tequila. 

By now you had gotten quite the buzz going, the music was playing from the speakers as you downed yet another shot of tequila. The liquor burned its way down your throat and you scrunched up your nose before biting into a piece of lime and shaking your head at it. 

“Whooo, I should do this more often,” You laughed to yourself. You had always been the type of drunk person who would end up being a happy-go-lucky kind of person. 

“Y/N, what are you doing?�� A rasped voice pulled you away from your endeavor. You couldn’t help but smile at the sight in front of you. Harrison Wells with his black jumper and slick black jeans. His dark hair was slightly ruffled with a few strands sticking out to the sides. His expression was stern yet with a glimpse of amusement. 

“Harryyyyyy, hiii!” You slightly yelled out over the music. “What does it look like I’m doing though?” You questioned him back with a grin on your face as you took a swig of your whiskey. You didn’t wait for his answer as you continued. “I’m having my own little party, and quite honestly I’m having the absolute best time!” You lifted your glass in your hand and made your way over to Harry swaying ever so lightly on your way. 

“Don’t you think you’ve had enough?” He looked at you with a little bit of concern in his eyes as he gripped onto your arms to keep you standing upright and not tumbling over. Your hands wound up on his as you realized which kind of muscles he was hiding under that jumper. You squinted your eyes at him and began to make a pout with your lips. It didn’t last long before your lips turned upwards and your eyes were filled with enjoyment and carefreeness. 

“Actually I don’t think so, and you mister,” You said as you poked Harry in the chest hard enough for him to be swayed a bit backward. “Won’t take my fun away,” You finished before breaking out into a full laugh. Harry chuckled at you and your behavior. 

“Actually come to think of it, you should join my fun!” Your lips turned into a smirk as you went to get a glass of whiskey for Harry. “We deserve a bit of fun and downtime,” You said momentarily your voice was laced with seriousness. 

“I’m not sure that’s a good idea,” He chuckled with his beautiful smile ever so lightly creating his dimples. “Somebody has to make sure you’re okay,” He continued as he gestured with his hand to you. 

“You don’t have to worry about me, I’m fantastic,” You answered as you went over to him with the glass of whiskey in your hand. “Here, drink up my friend!” You spoke attempting to sound serious, just to have your smile betray you. Harry took the glass from you and took a swig of it causing you to smile even wider. 

“So you’re in?” You questioned with a small expectant giggle at the end of it. 

“I’m in,” He says with a wink and a smirk at you, rendering your knees to go soft on you. He takes another swig of the whiskey emptying the glass. He handed it over to you and you gladly took it to get him a refill. 

“We need to get you up to speed with me,” You smiled mischievously at him. You sat down a shot glass in front of him and poured some tequila into it. “Let me borrow your hand,” You said as you held out your own. He does as you tell him and you lick at the back of his hand before pouring some salt on it. “Salt, shot, and lime,” You tell him. He looked at you, his mouth slightly agape. His eyes had darkened at the action you had made.

“Earth to Harry?” You asked as you waved your hand in front of his face, your own face confused with a cocked eyebrow. “Yes?” He cleared his throat before speaking, followed by a big swallow causing his adams apple to bob. 

“Did you hear anything of what I said?” You let out a laugh that came from the bottom of your stomach. 

“Right, yes I did,” He licked the salt from his hand, took the shot, and bit into the lime. His face scrunched up by the taste of the liquor hitting the back of his throat. You made him take quite a lot more, you took some with him to keep your own high buzz going. 

Reader and Harry getting drunk together:

You were walking into S.T.A.R. labs with the rest of the team. It had been a tough fight with the current metas roaming the streets of Central City. Alchemy was creating quite a lot on the way, and every damn meta in this town seemed to be out for blood. 

You threw your backpack on the floor beside the central console of the cortex. You flopped down on a chair in front of the computer, taking your guns out of your holsters and putting them down on the table. 

“I swear Y/N, if one of those goes off on my computer, you’d wish hell was freezing over,” Cisco pointed at you. 

“Oh relax Cisco, the safety is on,” You say as you look at them, realizing that you might have forgotten that in the heat of the moment, or maybe more in the tiredness of the moment. “Or now it is at least,” You mumbled to yourself. 

“What was that?” Cisco asked his eyes squinting at you. “Nothing!” You laughed it off, knowing he would in fact kill you if you ruined his computers. 

“That’s what I thought,” He laughed back at you. 

“You do know he means it right?” Harry spoke with a serious face as he sat down beside you. You looked over at him with amusement in your eyes. 

“Is Harrison Wells afraid of what Cisco might do?” You joked. You thought you were funny, but looking at Harry’s face you thought differently. His eyes were hard as he looked at you. It felt like he was looking right through you. You swallowed thickly at the hard glare he was giving you.

“I’m not afraid of Ramon,” His voice was hoarse and low but laced with a hint of worry. Cisco’s computers and satellites were his everything, and having seen it be blown up a few times, both you and Harry knew he would hurt whoever hurt his tech. 

“Well, we’re going home for the day,” Barry and Iris smiled as she spoke. “I’m more than ready to go home and get some sleep. We’ll see you all tomorrow,” She continued and waved at everyone. So did Barry as they left the building. 

“I’m going to follow them. Cisco can you drive me home?” Caitlin asked her friend. Caitlin had had a rough time lately, she didn’t talk much about it, but you knew she would when she was ready for it. 

“Are you coming along too, Y/N?” Cisco asked grabbing his jacket from the console in front of you. 

“Nah, I’ll stay here for a while. I’m gonna see what it is we’re missing with Alchemy and all these new metas that are popping up. Thanks for asking though!” You smiled and gave a thumbs up to let him know you meant it. 

“Don’t you think it would be a good idea to go home and rest?” Harry asked beside you with a soft smile. You loved to see him smile, even more because it wasn’t so often he did. 

“No, really it’s all good. I want to be here, no need to go home to an empty apartment anyway,” You spoke as you looked away from him and back to the computers in front of you. 

Harry nodded at you and walked away, probably to go work on his own Alchemy project. You started to type away, going through every piece of evidence you had on Alchemy. 

You rubbed your eyes and looked at the clock. It felt like you had been sitting with it for hours, but there had only been 40 minutes. Realizing that you weren’t going to get much done you walked to the lounge, grabbing two glasses and pouring some whiskey into them.

Turning the corner into Harry’s lab you saw him looking at the clear board with equations on it, his white marker in his hand. You had been right when you thought he would be working.  You knocked at the entrance causing him to turn around and look at you. 

“What?” He asks gruffly and you raise the two glasses of whiskey in your hands. 

“Wanna have a drink with me?” You asked politely entering his workshop. 

“Uh, sure,” His answer was short but held a lot of meaning. He never stopped working, so his saying yes was a win for you. “Any particular reason?” He questioned as you handed him one of the glasses. 

“Can’t we just enjoy a drink without there has to be a reason for it?” You asked cockily with raised eyebrows. It earned you a small laugh from the Earth-Two scientist. You looked at him surprised at his response to it. “Maybe we should do it more often if it earns laughs from you,” You jokingly continued. 

“Don’t count on it,” He replied deeply, though there was still a small smile hiding behind the glass. You raised your glass to him and took a sip of the liquor. The burning sensation was welcoming in your throat. The small interaction you and Harry had was nice. Your life had been a mess lately so when you had emptied your glasses, you had stayed with Harry while he went back to work.  

“Are you just going to sit there for the rest of the night?” He asked looking over his shoulder and back at you. 

“Well actually I’d say yes, but then I thought we could also decide to have our way of resting,” You smiled at him as you took your feet down from his desk and turned all the way towards him. His features looked questioningly at the statement you had made. “We could go drink some more whiskey. Pretty sure we both could need some time away from Alchemy?” The last part you said as a question as you waited for his response. 

“And why would you think that?” Harry’s usual hard look and closed-offness showed. 

“Because Harry, you have been staring at the same equation for the past hour and gotten nowhere,” You told him gesturing to the board in front of him. His stare felt like it could shoot daggers at you for having said that, but you knew he was agreeing with you when a small nod came in your direction.  “Cool, let’s go then,” You said snapping your fingers in the direction of the lounge you had picked up the whiskey in before. 

A few whiskeys in you were both talking a lot more loosly about what was troubling you. As Harry, you weren’t one who cared much for sharing too many feelings or problems. They were your own, and yours to deal with. 

“I could have sworn you had just decided to spend most of your time here, just like Barry usually does now,” Harry stated as he looked slightly surprised at you for your confession. 

“Nope, Captain Singh asked me, or more made me, stay home and take care of myself. He sent my ass home, and I can’t just sit at home doing nothing, so here I am,” You threw your arms out to the side as you took a small bow in the chair. 

It earned you one of the rare laughs from Harry. Either it was the alcohol talking or maybe Harry was actually enjoying himself a little. You decided to go with the latter, making it so much easier to just smile and forget things for a while. 

You stood up to grab the flask of whiskey, only to realize it was empty. You looked through the cupboards to see if you could find something else. A devilish smile crept on your lips as you grabbed the flask and stood up. “Harry!” You yelled out. His body shot towards you at your sudden outburst. “I have found something better than whiskey,” You smiled from ear to ear shaking the tequila bottle in your hand. “We are so going to take some tequila shots!” You laughed out loud at the expression on Harry’s face. 

“No, we are most certainly not,” He replied coldly as he stood up and started to leave, and you knew how you could make him stay. 

“Harry, it’s a task, and you solve tasks right?” He stopped dead in his tracks and you could almost imagine the expression on his face and that joyed you even more. You knew you had won. 

“Fine!” He exclaimed and turned back to you, a few large strides and he was on the other side of the island. 

“Do you know how to?” You asked hesitantly not knowing how much drinking he had done on Earth-Two and in his younger days. “Did you just ask me if I know how to do tequila shots? How old do you think I am?” He said slightly annoyed before he broke out a dimple-filled smile. You broke out into a real fit of laughter before answering him. 

“I’m so sorry Harry, that sounded terrible,” Leaning forwards on the table in front of you, you half smacked yourself in the head when you put it into your hand. 

“C’mon, pour it Y/L/N!” He chuckled as he pushed the shot glass over in your direction. You found the salt and cut out the limes you had found in the fridge. You weren’t quite sure why the team even had this here, but you weren’t about to be mad at it. 

You clinked your glasses together before shooting it down. You both shook your heads and looked at each other, smiles spreading as you continued to pour tequila into your glasses.

“Right, let’s see,” You say with an idea in your head. You licked your own hand as you put it to your neck, you leaned your neck to the side as you drizzled salt on it and the lime in your hand. “Let’s go, Harrison,” You smiled playfully at him, his eyes glistening with just as much playfulness. 

He stepped close to you, your chests touching each other, his hands on your hips. You leaned your head to the side giving him access to lick the salt off of you. His tongue was warm to your skin sending shivers down your spine. You had to bite your lip to stifle a moan from escaping your lips. He stayed at your neck a little longer than he needed to and kissed you on the neck as his face left your neck. Downing the shot you had poured him, he looked for the lime and you smiled brightly with it between your teeth. 

It didn’t take long for Harry to catch on to what you wanted. A smirk danced across his lips before crashing them to yours to bite the lime. His lips were soft on yours. He tasted of a mix of tequila, lime, and whiskey. You spat out the lime before going back to kissing him. Your arms snaked around his neck drawing him closer to you. He gladly accepted and deepened the kiss. His tongue slid across your lower lip and you quickly granted him access. 

Your tongue felt like it fit perfectly with his as they danced and explored together. The kiss was filled with need, a hunger, for each other. Damn his an amazing kisser, you thought to yourself as you got completely lost in his intoxicating kiss. You broke apart after a few minutes needing to catch your breaths. 

His crystal blue eyes looked into yours, they were darker than usual, filled with arousal. Your chest was heaving for breaths and Harry pulled away from you. You whined as you lost the heat from his warm body. 

“I’m sorry,” He spoke lowly as he started to pull completely away from you. You grabbed the jumper in your hands and pulled him towards you. “Harry shut up and kiss me again,” You ordered your own eyes filled with lust. It didn’t take long for him to oblige to your command, his hands roaming your entire body. 

He pushed you backward till you reached the countertop and boxed you in between his body and the table. Your fingers tangled themselves in his dark locks as you pulled lightly at them. A hum escaped his throat as he kissed his way down from your jaw to your ear nibbling lightly at your earlobe before moving down to your neck. 

His kisses left your skin on fire. A burning sensation was starting to grow in your stomach and between your legs. You wanted him. You needed him. 

“Harry,” You whimpered in response to his kisses, licks and sucks. He was sure to leave marks on you. His hand moved in between your legs cubbing the outsides of your cunt, grinding at it with his hand. 

Several moans left your throat involuntarily. You couldn’t help it, this man was doing so much to you. He was humming in response to your moans. His lips went back to yours. You could feel the grin on his lips as he kissed you. 

His hands grabbed around your thighs hoisting you to sit on the countertop, keeping your legs spread to make space for him in between. You locked your legs around his waist pulling him as close to you as you could.

He grinded against you and you met his grinds with your own. You could feel his arousal, rock hard and ready for you. A groan left Harry’s lips at your movements and a smirk appeared on your lips. This time it was you breaking the kiss to make it to his neck leaving open-mouthed kisses. As you bit slightly into his skin, an animalistic groan left his throat, as you left a mark on him. 

“Either you stop and we go to my room, or continue and I’ll take you right here,” His voice was low and lust-filled as he spoke. The words hit you as you leaned in to whisper in his ear. 

“Oh I’m not nearly done, Harrison Wells,” you mused his name and it seemed to have the effect you wanted it to. Harry gripped your hips tightly and pulled you closer to him as his lips crashed with yours. The kiss was filled with need as you were both losing control of yourselves. 

One of his hands traced under your shirt and up to your breast and grabbed it. Your body ached for him as your chest shot forward at the feeling of his fingers pinching your nipple. His hand let go of your breast only to discard the clothing in front of it. He kissed down your neck and down to your chest and sucked lightly at your nipple as his other hand traced up your thigh toward your wet spot. 

“Oh god, Harry,” You moaned out at the heat pooling inside of you. 

“Mmh, what?” He looked down at you with a big smirk on his lips, his normally blue eyes almost completely dark from lust. “I didn’t tell you to stop,” You looked up at him whining. “But now we’re at it, you have too many clothes on,” You smiled innocently up at him as your hands glided toward the hem of his jumper. He chuckled deeply before lifting his arms up to discard his jumper. 

Your mouth fell open as your eyes roamed his torso. His chiseled muscles showed as he flexed a little under your stare. Clothes did him dirty. 

“My eyes are up here Y/N,” He pulled you from your trance. Your cheeks flushed as you looked down shyly. His fingers went under your chin to make you look up at him. “Like what you see?” He muses with amusement.

“I mean, have you looked yourself in the mirror?” You spoke as your eyes darted down to his chest again. Your tongue darted over your lips as you took all of him in again. “How can I not like what I see?” You continued your own eyes darkening more. 

Your legs tugged him into you again as your lips met his again. You were fighting for dominance, pouring every feeling of lust and need into the kiss. Your fingers were digging into his skin at his shoulders. 

Harry pulled you down from the countertop, unbuttoning your jeans, not once breaking the kiss. You shimmied out of your jeans and panties and stood completely nude in front of him. This time it was Harry’s turn to get tranced, licking his lips. 

“My eyes are up here, Harrison,” You mused the same response he had had to your staring. His laugh filled the lounge as his hands found your hips again. “What? No smart comment?” You chuckled. “Nope, not this time. You look beautiful,” His smile was genuine, his eyes had gone soft again, and you felt your cheeks burning from his admiration. He leaned down to kiss you. The kiss was different from the others, this was more caring and more emotional. 

Your hands went to his shoulders moving down his chest. He flexed under your touch and deepened the kiss again as your hands found the button on his jeans. It didn’t take long for him to discard them. 

Your eyes couldn’t help but dart down to his erection. He sure did hide a lot under those clothes; because holy hell he was well-equipped. The burning desire inside of you took over as you went down to your knees and looked up at him through your lashes. 

A smirk playing at your lips as you licked from the base of his cock and up to the tip. A deep rumble came from Harry’s chest as his eyes closed shut and his head leaned back. Your tongue swirled around the tip, licking off the precum before taking his cock into your mouth. You bobbed your head in rhythm with your hand at the base. Your tongue swirled around the tip every time you came back up, before taking as much as you could of him in again. 

“Y/N,” Harry moaned out. “Fuck, it feels so good,” his breathing became more panting as he took every bit of pleasure you were giving him. You could feel him tense under your touch and you bobbed your head a little faster, drawing him closer to his release. 

He took in a sharp breath as he pulled away from you. 

“Harry, why did you do that? I almost had you,” You looked up at him while pouting. 

“Because when I cum I want to be in you,” He took hold of your hand helping you up and he instantly pushed you back to the countertop. His lips find yours again, his hands on your hips, lifting you back up to sit. His head moved down your chest, down to your stomach, leaving open-mouthed kisses on his way. 

Your own breathing became quicker at the thought of what he was about to do. Your hand tangled itself in his hair as he kissed the inner side of your thigh. The feeling of his mouth leaving shivers going up and down your body. Moans escaped your lips as he moved closer to your cunt. 

“Mmh, you’re so wet for me,” He breathed as his tongue licked through your folds, leaving a fire burning inside of you. His tongue flicked over your bundle of nerves. The pleasure coursing through your veins, the feeling of heat pooling in your stomach, alarming you that you were close. 

“Harry, I’m-,” You choked out, one hand gripping the countertop so tightly your knuckles were going white. 

“Cum for me, princess,” Harry focused more on your clit and it didn’t take long before you were coming undone for him. He lapped all of your orgasm before coming back up to your head and giving you a chaste kiss. 

“Well you certainly know what you’re doing,” You breathed heavily coming down from your high, a proud smirk played on Harry’s lips. Your hands reached around his neck and you pulled him close to you. Your kiss wasn’t chaste in any way, it was lust-filled and hard. You could taste your own orgasm on his wet lips. One of your legs wrapped around his body, pulling him even closer to you. “I need you Harry,” You begged him. You needed him inside of you. You were hungry for him. All of him. 

Harry aligned himself at your entrance and slowly pushed inside of you. Moans escaped both of your lips as he let you adjust to him. He slowly started thrusting into you. Controlled, slow moves were dragging out the pleasure already building in you. 

“Fuck, you feel so good around me. So perfect,” He breathes into the base of your neck. One of your hands was holding onto his shoulder and the other clawing at his back. 

“Harry, I- I won’t last long,” You were moaning and panting under him. 

“Neither will I,” He groans out, his thrusts becoming quicker and sloppier. Your orgasm builds up quickly in you. Leaving you screaming out his name as you draw closer and closer. A few more quick and hard thrusts leave you both coming down and hard. 

He stayed with his head dipped into the crook of your neck, your hand started drawing circles at his back. He draws back from you and pulls out of you. His dark hair was messy from sweat and your hands, and you only saw the most handsome man you had ever seen. 

A big goofy smile played on your lips and you couldn’t tear your eyes away from him, as your breathing was slowing down again. 

“What?” He smiled and shifted a little on his feet as his cheeks turned a shade of pink. 

“Oh, nothing, you’re just very handsome,” You spoke looking him deeply in his eyes. He leaned in to give you another kiss. He broke apart from you, but you continued to peck his lips in between words. “Also. You. Just. Rocked. My. World,” Your hands were cupping his face as you held onto him. 

“Well, why don’t we go rock it some more,” He returned your goofy smile with a wink as he dragged you with him to his room. 

Your eyes slowly started to flutter open and you groaned out at the bright light hitting your face. You rubbed your eyes with one hand as you felt the hangover headache hitting you. It wasn’t until you tried to move that you realized that there was someone beside you. 

You turned your head slowly as to not disturb whoever it was holding onto your side. 

You didn’t exactly expect to see a certain dark-haired grumpy scientist beside you. 

“Oh god, what have I done?” You said to yourself, panic coursing through your veins, causing a pair of blue eyes to open and look at you.

Meet The Wells - Harry Wells Fic

Tv Show: The Flash

Setting: Season 4

Pairing: Harrison ‘Harry’ Wells x Leanna ‘Lea’ O’Conner

Featuring: One of the best characters on the show, Cisco Ramon!

—-

The morning everything pretty well. Team Flash was doing their usual work at S.T.A.R LABS. Discussing lunch breaks, new metas they possibly discovered, new experiments to create and plans for the weekend. That was until Harry mentioned friends.

Cisco sat up, “No he’s delusional. That’s because the lack of sleep he’s has been having. Uh, Harry friends are in here!”

Caitlin looked at Barry, who stood there confused, guessing that he’s being sarcastic.

“I got friends other than you guys! You will meet them.” Harry respond, siping his morning coffee.

Cisco gave his second girl a look and asked, “Lea help.”

“I-i know nothing about this.” Lea admitted with her hands up in defense.

“Ramon, believes i don’t got any friends. When i clearly do.” Harry yelled and sighed, typing away on his keyboard, “You told me to go make some friends, right?”

Cisco yelled back, “Yeah but last time i checked, you don’t have any friends besides us!”

Leanna who was tinkering with her tools looked up and nodded, “Yup! I did tell you that. Actually I’m curious to meet your friends, but I gotta hand some paperwork over to Joe first.”

She stood up, giving her boyfriend of 3 years now, a quick kiss on the cheek, in which Harry wraps his hand around her waist pulling her in for one more starling kiss. Clearly he was excited for today.

——

Cisco and Harry were in the speed lab being introduced to their scientific ragtag team of friends. But it wasn’t what Cisco suspected Harry’s friends to be. One of them even practically threw Cisco Ramon out of the speed lab for being annoyed and offended. Lea walked in, confused onto why her best friend ran out of there but her confusion came to a pause after what she see saw.

There stood right in front of her brown eyes the doppelgängers of Harrison Wells. Not 1, not 2, but 3 Harrison Wells in the speed lab. And if add Harry, that makes 4! In total stood 4 very different variants of Harrison Wells, going from one with gray hair and a turtleneck to one with war general uniform like he just lost an eyeball for God’s sakes.

She didn’t know to laugh at how insane this is or internally whine about this little endeavor being oddly weird for her. But at the same time she was very much integrated into this new situation. She met versions of Wells beforehand but this was completely different. Before she can even say a word or pull together another set of thoughts, when a voice called out to her. More or less a catcall followed by a cheeky whistle.

“Who is this little beauty queen? She’s finer than a flower on a summer morning!” Yelled out a rusty almost burnt blonde Wells in a red rode and slippers.

Lea didn’t realize they were staring at her that moment, quickly fixing her dark gray shirt with tiny daisies scattered all over and dark jacket she borrowed from her friend, Caitlin Snow, earlier that week. She firstly mouth a small “What the fuck?” to Harry as he jogged over swiftly taking her hand with ease. The man was clearly excited about this.

“Honey, come meet my new friend!” He exclaimed holding a grin, returning back to earlier spot but this time with her next to him, “This is Harrison Wolfgang Wells, H. Lothario Wells and Wells 2.0. Men, this is Leanna O’Conner.”

All 3 of them smiled at the lady. Wolfgang Wells stayed wondering his eyes at the brunette, as if he trying to pin point something in particular.

Lea had to just smile politically for the 3 idiots to go sight seeing on her, if allowed. Without a second later the women dragging Harry out into the hallway for a quick chat.

“Harry, honey, what the hell?!” She whispered yelled.

“What the hell? What do you mean ‘what the hell?’?” He whispered yell back.

“Are you out of your mind? Have you officially lost your marbles?!”

“You asked me to make some friends and that’s exactly what I did!”

“When I told you to make friends, I didn’t mean with yourself!”

“They’re technically NOT me! They’re my double hitting doppelgängers from other earths and one of the biggest baddest brightest mind out there.”

“Again! There’s literally 3 of you in that room, all three of them ready to make goo goo eyes at me and oh yeah, one of you is enough but a friend group of Wells that’s just—”

“Sweetie I can handle this. There is nothing to worry about, they’re just charming and intelligent people with different kinds of backgrounds. It’s gonna go great. I promise.”

“You promise? Cause—”

“Lea it’s fine! I got this.”

————

Once the couple walked back in, Lea announced the plan with Harry, but the second they all heard her voice they looked at her like 3 somewhat trained dogs. Harry had to scuff down a laugh, snorting a smidge.

Sandy hair blonde Wells aka H. Lothario Wells, grinned at her. He found her pretty and said, “Say, gorgeous you got any sisters? Or are you free this Sunday night?”

She blushed chuckling as she shook her head ‘No’ as Harry face them with a glare saying that Lea was HIS girlfriend. So hands off fellas!

Wells 2.0 spoke up, “I had a Lana on my earth…”

“Really? How was I like?” Lea asked, her eyes perked up curious about the answer.

“I wouldn’t know, she died or was it that she left the country? Oh well, i don’t remember! Ladies on my earth aren’t as nice looking as you.”

——————

The four of them kept talking, mainly Harry and his doubles, Lea just stayed sitting back writing on her iPad a few notes on an old equipment and equations. She listened every once in a awhile to their conversation, walking in and out of the lab to other part of the building or heading down to Jitters for some java.

Blowing a kiss to all 3 copies of Wells as she left. All of them stayed with a loopy and cheeky smiles after that. Harry Wells was the lucky one, he actually got a kiss of the cheek.

Returning with a coffee for her boyfriend, after handing one to Caitlin and Cisco she heard it. “Annie..” said the voice. It belongs to Wolfgang Wells, who staying eyeing her for the moment due stepped into the room in the first place. She rarely heard that nickname tossed around but it been said plenty of times beforehand. Only Cisco or Barry will throw that nickname out.

“That’s Leanna, not Annie, can you believe this guy fellas?” Replied Sandy Wells with a chuckling, figuring his doppelgänger was nuts in the head or something.

“No, Annie O’Conner..” Wolfgang Wells said once again with curiosity and confidence in his tone.

“Yeah he’s right.” Lea confirmed his wording, “Did you know a version of me, on your Earth?”

“My wife.”

“We’re married?”

Harry’s eyes darted towards them, mumbling, “You married a verison of her? When?”

“Yeah but I left her. Too much of a handful.” Wolfgang said with a shrug.

Lea gasped, “HANDFUL? I will have you know that I’m not a handful, you guys are. No offense, Harry..”

Wolfgang snickered, “You sound like her too! I left her cause we fell out of love, she was too uptight and I was too busy to care.”

“OUCH!”

“But I think still love her very much. Still, love is love. I think we all got a verison of this lady on our earths, right?”

Sandy Wells chuckled, “Mhmmmm! I do. She’s my 2 A.M bootycall. Speaking of which…”

Just like that, blondie wells was gone saying he got business to take care of. Leanna jaw dropped, meanwhile Harry held back a little smile, grabbing everyone’s attention back to the matter at hand.

All 3 men went back to work. But the looks Wolfgang and 2.0 didn’t go unnoticed, glancing at the half Asian brunette every once in a while. Both men saw something in her, and they liked it. Harry had to snap their towards himself instead and looping a hand on his girlfriend’s waist to signify that once again she’s taken!

The men were talking over one another and bickering more often than not about the topic. Honestly it was kinda hilarious.

Cisco walked in soon enough with a smile, “Soo Council Of Wells, how are we doing? Any progress or we just chitchatting about who’s smarter?” 

Leanna chuckled at the last part, because half of it was true.

Harry on the other hand groaned in annoyance, “It’s not going anywhere! We can’t even agree on what method to use.”

“What? You had an entire day.”

“I know! I know!”

“Is it cause Lana is distracting them?”

This time Lea spoke up, “HEY! Right here you know?! First we’re complimenting me, then you’re treating me like a diamond in the rough and now you’re insulting me?! What is it? Leanna Day and I didn’t get the memo?!”

“Well welcome to my life, girlfriend! Theses guys love to do the same thing to me! Ain’t so easy, isn’t it?” Cisco repiled back, tossing her a glare.

“Ohhh, so this is the way your framing this, huh?”

“I guess so, Annie!”

“Cisco I swear—!”

“Wait?”

“What?” Harry asked.

“Isn’t there a 3rd one? Isn’t there 3 of—”

He pointed out there was only 2 Wells standing there, not the original 3 from the beginning of the day. Harry was about to say something about it but as if on cue, Sandy haired Wells reappeared with a cheeky grin blabbing on about something.

Sandy turned toward the trio with a smile, “Oh sorry! Had to take care of some off camera business—”

“OHH MY GOD!” Cisco shouted holding a hand, covering whatever it was he didn’t want to see.

This Wells had his pants down, showing everything his mother gave him. Harry tried to looked away, his face accidentally saw it. Leanna just blinked, gasping as she turned around burying his face in her boyfriend’s black shirt.

“What?” Asked Sandy Wells softly , confused.

“I can see your Frank and beans.” Said Wolfgang, looking rather uncomfortable.

“Come on, now. Do my best thinkin' commando,” Sandy defends himself with a shrug, “Plus, it ain't like we all haven't seen it before. Especially, you little missy.”

“I haven’t seen it!” Cisco yelled, sounding funny and offended by the fact.

He shoots a wink Leanna’s way and she feel like she can’t help but peek her face towards all the men in the room. She saw so much more than clearly expected today! Like Jesus Christ! She rested her head, still sorta hiding her face in her boyfriends shirt.

She didn’t look confident or heroic in that moment.

Harry placed a comforting hand on her head, holding his lady while smiling at her embraced blushing and embarrassment.

Cisco held back a couple of laughs, “Aww! You’re traumatizing the poor girl! But seriously, dude put that away..please.”

Wolfgang agreed with Cisco for once.

“Ah, you Earth Folks. You are so uptight.” Sandy replied pulling up his pants.

“Ah, alright! Can we get back to the take at hand? We need answers.”

Suddenly all men started throwing out suggestions left and right, speaking over one another not allowing Cisco nor Harry to keep a full sentence in.

Lea’s ears were ringing loudly and she groaned in annoyance, “Okay! That’s enough!”

“Enough? We’re just getting started!” Add 2.0 Wells, in which causing another explosion of words being thrown around.

Clearly Harry was losing it having enough of this shit and yelled, “Guys! Guys! Ga—gentlemen!” Grabbing all their attention he continued, “Clearly this isn’t working. And just for the record, it’s not me, it’s you.”

With a simple push of a button, all three holograms disappeared, leaving the trio to themselves.

“This, was a bad idea.” Harry said walking back, placing his hands on his girlfriend’s shoulders whispering, “You okay?”

“It’s like your junk was burnt into my brain.” Cisco answered instead.

“Your welcome.”

Leanna did not answer or add into the previous statement, just walking out with a hand covering her ears silently. Harry and Cisco shared a tired look, figuring something bothered her..

——

Him and Cisco were talking for a bit, the genius still grumbling about what happened. That he needed to accept the facts and himself, since they are technically his doppelgängers but still. He didn’t truly like it too much.

Until he found her.

Harry found his girlfriend in his lab, scribbling in a notebook wearing her noise canceling headphones, that both him and Cisco carefully crafted her due to her meta human abilities, and playing with her bangs.

He sighed, knowing she was flashed today and practically felt just as insulted as he was. But because Leanna was more of a sensitive soul in the relationship, rather busy lately with Iris’s wedding planning, and helping the team with their issues. Along with the overheating bickering wasn’t probably too pleasant to her ears.

He winced, taking a marker to the whiteboard and tapping it against the clear sided screen. Harry walked over to her, tapping her shoulder and simply asked, “Hey, are you alright?”

“Hm?” She asked, removing her headphone registering what he said and chuckled, “Oh! Yeah honey I’m fine.”

“Isn’t that my line? Lea, honey, what happened? You kinda snapped at them.”

“Yeah well, so did you!…I, uh, umm wasn’t expecting today. Part of me knew something was gonna happen! I felt like I was being pulled left and right. I mean 4 Wells in one room, that’s overwhelmingly surprising and kinda chaotic..no offense.”

“None taken! They are just huge self minded, idiots. Uptight, roughly insulting, snooty and just jerks. I—I didn’t think it would go like that! Hell they flashed you and choose to make eyes at you the whole time. Treated you like you were an prize to be won and be thrown away…no one was paying attention to anything and just talking over one another! Jesus…”

Leanna stayed quiet hearing him rant about how he felt about the situation and the protection his mind created, recognizing things she didn’t notice until now. It made her feel better, knowing that she got the best Wells in the multiverse. All he wanted was to make some more friends and figure out a way to help with his teammates issues.

But instead, he realized that rather became a host and solid choice for a complete conversation than the other guys. He also felt sorta good about himself being one to unlock the door to an O’Conner’s heart unlike his counterpart.

“I uh, don’t take you for granted, you know?” Harry said, with a soft grin.

“I figured as much. You stayed.” She replied with a tired smile.

“Wolfgang had a version of you then lost you, 2.0 Wells was just gah not—the best thing with women and uh, Lothario was something else where uh, you know!”

Lea chuckled and nodded, “Oh I know! I..I know!”

Harry couldn’t help but laugh, “But in all seriousness, Leanna I love you and I’m so sorry you had to deal with that—us, today.”

“I’ve been part of Team Flash for so long, where something like that shouldn’t surprise me but it did. It was chaotic chapter for the books, but I really hope that doesn’t happen again!”

“It better not! I can’t take another moment with those guys. They’re one of the most annoying minds of the multiverse!”

“Harry, honey..”

“What?

“Thank you.”

“For what?”

She stood up from her chair, wrapped her arms around his middle and looked up at the man gently grinning. He looked down at her, placing a hand on the small of her back, smiled softly confused since she left her second line incomplete.

“For being you! You came to this Earth and took it as it is, trying to help it. And those idiots, didn’t have to FaceTime us but they did. Because you would’ve done the same thing.” She added.

“Of course I’ve would’ve, I kinda like you guys. Especially you and Dr. Snow.” Harry admitted.

“Most importantly, you fell for me. All those other versions of Lea and Wells don’t know what they’re missing.”

“Well, technically, this wasn’t planned. I came to another earth for one goal. But we sorta happened.”

“Do you regret it?”

He leaned down, cupping her cheek a bit, “No.”

“Why’s that?” She asked, leaning in.

“Because it proves my multiverse theory. Every version of you or me, ends up being with an such interesting partner.”

“I love that theory.”

“I know you do.”

Harry closed the space between them, tossing in a few solid pecks of Lea’s waiting lips. A couple of sweet nothings and laughs were thrown into the mix, chatting about getting Big Belly Burger later.

When suddenly..

“Oh come on!”

Came Cisco’s voice, standing at the door with his hands on his hips.

“Seriously? Y’all didn’t need my help making her feel better.” Cisco said.

Lea snorted and smiled, as Harry tossed his friend a playful grin, only ever reserved for Cisco Ramon. 

“We’re heading to Big Belly Burger later, you coming?” asked Lea.

“Oh hell yes!” He replied, replacing the frown with a smile, snatched up his friend from Harry into his arms for a hug and yelling, “She was mine first.”

Imagine Earth-2 didn’t have just the Flash, but also a hero named Phantom. Able to phase through solid matter and disappear and reappear at the blink of an eye.

Imagine she had once loved the villain named Reverb and through a moment of weakness, she was captured by Zoom.

Imagine a story of love, betrayals, and most importantly, doppelgängers.

In Only Us, Paisley Holloway—the adoptive daughter of Dr. Harry Wells—finds herself with her life on the line. Betrayed by the man she once loved and trapped at the hands of Zoom, all she can cling onto now is hope as Zoom tears her city to shreds in her absence.

Unfortunately, I’ll only be publishing this story on Wattpad under my account -fallenxangel. However if it gains enough traction I might transfer it to here for non-Wattpaders :)

[arrow-v-flash-polls]

Which of these Harry ships is your favourite?

(Based on the amount of fics on AO3)

[vampcoffeegyrl23]

Pairing: Caitlin/HR

Summary:

A Snowells movie! Two childhood friends reunite at their 15-year reunion, confronting bitter old wounds and missed opportunities that drove them apart – and fending off the drunken ex who won’t take no for an answer. Caitlin/HR

Notes:

This is my finished Caitlin/HR screenplay from my script workshop class. For the class, I changed their names to Lucy and Seth. I want to transfer it to story form, but I figured I would post the script for now. It is definitely not easy to format a script on here, so here is a link to the pdf of the script if you would rather read it that way. Also, I threw together a movie poster for it as well. Hope you enjoy!

Had more thoughts about a Flash fanfic w/xxxHolic setting

Harry is definitely the one running the wish shop. He's stuck there as part of fulfilling his wish to save Jesse's life so he needs a go-for type person to work for him. As he gets closer to fulfilling his wish, he knows his time at the shop is growing to a close and that someone will have to take it over since, when his wish is fulfilled and Jesse is safe, Harry won't be able to run the shop anymore. Someone else will have to take over and Harry suspects it's chosen Cisco. Harry will be fine - Jesse wasn't dead, so the price wasn't a life for a life sort of thing, but she is missing. Perhaps as Harry's wish comes closer to being granted, he does start to be allowed time away from the shop, though?

Cisco has the ability to see spirits and other supernatural beings. And has the occasional visions. His powers have gotten stronger since he turned eighteen and it's making him a little... too interesting to the local spirit life. While escaping from a particularly insistent stalker that Cisco's pretty sure wants to eat him, he arrives at a wish shop and feels a bit like he's just come home. Harry freaks Cisco out, of course, and quickly deduces Cisco's problems. He promises that the shop can grant Cisco's truest wish, but it's a big one. And a wish must be granted in exchange for payment of equal value, so obviously the best idea is for Cisco to work for Harry until he can 'afford' the wish.

Cisco thinks his wish is to get rid of his ability to see spirits. But in the end, his true wish is to be able to understand what he sees and defend himself, and others. At the shop, he learns more and more about the spirit world and gains the skills to protect himself and others... so his wish is granted in exchange for the time it took for him to learn it. In a matter of speaking.

Originally I was thinking Caitlin as the Himawari analogue type, but now I'm leaning towards splitting that between her and Lisa. Lisa is the one who brings bad luck and she's already friends with Hartley, having learned that Hartley's natural abilities can negate her bad luck. To some degree. Meanwhile Caitlin is Cisco's best friend, but little does she know she's got an ice spirit growing inside her. Frost's presence is slowly killing Caitlin, which as Frost grows more aware the ice spirit realizes that Caitlin's death is not what she wants.

Frost learns about the wish shop and begins trying to go there, which leads to Caitlin turning up confused in a few places before, finally, Frost gets where she's going and makes a wish to save Caitlin. While Caitlin, finally aware of Frost's existence too, doesn't want Frost to die for her either. Harry halts time for Frost's growth as a spirit - she's already strong enough to survive on her own, but she can't 'escape' Caitlin's body until Caitlin dies. Frost's continued growth would, thus, kill Caitlin. Harry grants their wishes that neither of them die. But the cost to save Caitlin is that Frost can no longer grow. And the cost to halt Frost's growth without killing her is that Caitlin must allow Frost control of her body at regular intervals.

Hartley's family has a history of being powerful exorcists, but the power to see spirits seems to have left them. Hartley's parents are the owners of Rathaway Industries and they expect him to take over one day. But he knows when they find out he's gay, they'll disown him instead. He meets Lisa first, who is fascinated by the fact that Hartley's presence seems to negate her bad luck. She's the first person Hartley's ever come out to and while she isn't a college student like him, she isn't involved at the campus somehow. Working a con initially, perhaps?

Hartley and Cisco have a bit of a rivalry going on in their classes, but Harry recognizes the Rathaway family name and knows it's likely Hartley's inherited the family powers. Harry manages to somehow arrange for Hartley to show up at times when Cisco needs his protection and Cisco winds up admitting his abilities to Hartley, Lisa, and Caitlin - which is probably when Frost learns about the shop.

Over time Hartley falls in love with Cisco, but he thinks Cisco has feelings for Lisa. Lisa isn't interested in romance for herself, though, and conspires with Frost to set Cisco and Hartley up together. Which Cisco proves amiable to, eventually.

Caitlin of course winds up falling for Ronnie, who has some kind of fire powers (or is perhaps some kind of fire spirit?) and eventually they must contend with the ice spirit Icicle, who planted Frost within Caitlin when Caitlin was younger, and expected to finally meet his daughter when she emerged from her human 'cocoon'. So he is not thrilled to learn of his child's reckless wish to preserve Caitlin's life.

As Jesse draws closer to arriving (being rescued?), Cisco starts to start to grant wishes himself as the shop connects to him. When Harry's connection to the shop breaks, he tells Cisco that his abilities came only from the wish that bound him to the shop. But Cisco's abilities are natural - he's the kind of person the shop needs to survive. But without a shop owner, there can be no shop. The shop might be able to find someone before it fades away, if Cisco chooses a normal life for himself. Or as normal as someone with his powers can have.

Cisco chooses the shop. He finishes his degree for himself, but he takes over running the shop. Hartley finally comes out to his parents who disown him as he'd expected. He moves in with Cisco and Lisa goes with them, the three of them running the shop together.

Harry and Jesse stay nearby with Jesse having to recover from wherever she was. But of course, a human cannot be lost in the spirit world without being changed and it seems Jesse has gained the power of speed...

I'd want it to have a happier ending than xxxHolic has - the bittersweet ending works for xxxHolic, but I would want to write the fic as being about hope being rewarded.

Hi kinda of new to the Snowells Fandom any good sad snowells stories with great plot twists?

Hello and welcome! It's always so great to see new people joining our small but mighty part of the fandom! 🤗

Now, the first thing to consider is what "flavor" you might be looking for in your Snowells: only Eobard/Caitlin or including any of the Wells doppelgangers and Caitlin or Frost or any of the other Earth variations and can Matt Letscher's Eobard end up sneaking in under that umbrella term as well, lol.

But then I realized I'm kinda drawing a blank on sad Snowells stories of any sort. 😬 I know I've read a few but my brain's doing the old dial-up modem noise screech when it comes to titles and/or authors. That said, let me summon in the troops, lol!

@snowellsweek is a good place to start where a lot of fics have been collected over all of the years. For my fellow Snowells fans, do you know of any fics that fit the bill? Please feel free to rec yourself or someone else! Let's share the love and a box of tissues!

@missoliverstark @helplessdreamersworld @thaddeusthawne @vampcoffeegyrl23 @latetotheparty-again @snowells1234 @tomskonna @stewolf7 @keep-it-i-resign @fandomdancer

If I missed somebody, apologies, my brain is not quite yet over being sick. 😬 That said, please consider it a tag from me if you see this whether you're a mutual or not and would like to add a rec to it! *boops your nose politely*

Of my own fics, I have only 2 of the, like, 150+ Flash fics I've done 😳😉 that are actually sad. Both have a major character death warning to them, which is why I have them tagged mature but there's no graphic content:

"Dark/Light" (Caitlin/Harry)

"Cold" (Eobard/Frost)

Those are pretty short. For something that has sad elements to it as well as a few plot twists:

"The Thousandth and the First" (Caitlin/Eobard) (NSFW, does have graphic content, but also available as a PG13 edit part 1 and PG13 edit part 2)

I hope that helps a bit! Again, welcome and thanks for writing! 😎👍

Rough Days Part 2

Warnings: Some swearing and talk of some violence I guess. Some talk of sex, but not really explicit.

Pairings: Harry x Reader

Word Count: 6.5K+

A/N: So it might have taken me a million years to get this done, but I got there! Also, it got really long though! Hope that can make up for it. Life has kind of gotten in the way lately, so it was nice getting to write again. I hope you enjoy it, everyone!

Part 1

GIF's are not mine - all credit to those who made them!

(politeandnotgay)

“Y/N?” His morning voice was gruff and sexy to listen to. Nope, stop thinking that Y/N, you thought to yourself. He popped up on an elbow rubbing his eyes with the other hand. You pulled the covers all the way up to cover your bare chest like he hadn’t already seen you. 

“Oh god, oh god, oh god,” You kept repeating as you hid your face in your hand, your hair falling forward. Reality was setting in for Harry, adding two and two together. His face was gradually getting perplexed and as questioningly as yours. You stood up taking the covers with you only to be reminded that Harry didn’t have any clothes on either. “Oh my god, I’m so sorry Harry,” You said embarrassed as you turned your back on him. 

“Where the hell is my clothes?” You mumbled to yourself as you looked around. “Oh crap!” Reality hit you when you realized all your clothes were in the lounge. “Please tell me they haven’t come in yet,” Your voice laced with panic as you headed for the door. 

You jogged towards the lounge, praying to god that no one had come into work yet. You turned around the corner and entered the morning lid room. Thankful that it seemed the rest of the team hadn’t come in yet. You scrambled all of your clothes together in your arms. When you turned around to go to the bathroom, to put your clothes on, you collided with a firm chest. A pair of hands held onto your arms steadying you, quite like they had done the night before.

Your eyes darted up to look Harry in the eyes, as you tried to hide your flushed cheeks. His blue ones settled on yours as he let out a sigh. 

“Would you stop running away from me?” He said lowly. Most of you wanted to run away, to tell him no, but your head nodded before you could decide on any other option. “We should probably talk about, well - uh - last night,” He started with a small stutter. 

You held up your index finger to his lips silencing him before you spoke yourself. 

“Can I at least go put on some clothes before we do that? Only seems fair considering you have,” You said gesturing to his clothed frame, and awkwardly shifting on your feet under his gaze. 

“Right, you can use my room,” Harry looked at you, heat rising on his ears and cheeks. 

You jogged back to his room the covers in tow. As you closed the door you let out a big sigh of your own. Fiercely cursing your drunken self and her poor decisions as you got clothed. 

“Why, oh why did I have to go and do that?” You questioned yourself as you put a leg in your pants. “Of all people I decide to do it with, it just had to be Harrison freaking Wells,” Another leg in your pants as you jumped to get it over your hips. “I couldn’t have gone to a bar or something, no no, had to be here,” Your t-shirt over your head as you flopped down on his bed sitting with your elbows on your knees. “This is ridiculous, I’m such an idiot,” You sighed as you leaned your head in your hands. 

You sat there for a while as you mustered up the courage to talk to Harry. Taking a deep breath you stood from the bed. “Time to face the music Y/N,” You said aloud as you walked out the door towards the lounge again. 

“Okay Harry, let’s talk,” You said as you turned the corner to the lounge only to be faced by Cisco’s loud voice.

“Y/N! Good morning,” He said as he smirked. His loud voice rang in your hungover head and you winced a little at the stabbing pain in your brain. Cisco chuckled at you holding your forehead with one hand.“You seem like you had a nice evening without the rest of us here, huh?” Cisco blurted out as he took a sip of the coffee in his hand. “So what are you going to talk about?” Cisco continued a little less loudly than before. 

“Nothing,” You and Harry responded in unison giving each other a knowing look. 

“Also uh - why would you think we had a nice evening?” Your question fell a little quicker than anticipated, and with a little higher note than your usual voice. Cisco looked questioningly at you like you had fallen from the moon. 

“Uh, the empty bottles of alcohol and shot glasses,” He said as he gestured to the leftovers of your little party. “What did you think I was referring to?” He asked as he took in your expression. 

“Riiiight, nothing, just that,” You smiled it off, desperately trying to get yourself out of the situation that you had put yourself in. Well, it's not a situation you got in all on your own, Harry had a pretty big part in it too. You turned your eyes towards him instead, he stood with his own cup of coffee in his hands as he looked down on the floor. Feeling your resting gaze on him he looked up to meet yours, giving you a small nod. 

“Right, let’s get cracking on the new day and see what Alchemy has come up with today,” Cisco said as he started to walk out of the lounge and towards the cortex, to have a morning meeting that you had started having after you had been more at S.T.A.R. labs than the precinct. You and Harry followed him, mostly in silence, but you quickly whispered to him as you met in the doorframe. 

“We’ll talk later?” You looked at him and he gave yet another silent nod, his lips pressed together. 

Your day was flying by as you sat at the desk in the cortex looking over every evidence you had. You got little done, your mind was distracted with something else. Distracted by the thought of Harry. The thought of last night's activities. It was like you could still feel his lips on yours, his hands on your body and it was intoxicating for you to think about. It was like you were in a haze. 

As you sat there in your haze your mind started to wander. As Harry had been a part of the team for a while, you had come to spend a lot of your free time with him. All that time spent together had made you open more up to him, more than you had with anyone for a long time. Surely it wasn’t like you had opened up to him last night, but you enjoyed his company and he got to see sides of you no one else did. 

You didn’t necessarily need to talk to one another. You could sit in complete silence as he tinkered with some new tech or was trying to calculate something, and you’d sit with a bunch of files around you. It was comfortable for both of you. You didn’t mean to start taking a particular liking to him, but you had. You weren’t sure you’d call it love, but it was something. Something different than you had felt before. 

You cared deeply for him, and you always made sure he ate, stayed hydrated, and got some rest. Now the physical part of things had been there for a lot longer. Ever since he had come to your earth you’d find him extremely sexy and handsome, and he didn’t even have to put in any effort to get you wilded up.

Maybe last night wasn’t as big of a mistake as you first thought. You’d wanted him for a long time. You had thought a lot about what his fingers could do, or his tongue for that matter. He sure did exceed every expectation you had had about it. You could feel the heat rise on your cheeks and in your stomach. You needed to get some fresh air, cool down, and get some clarity. 

“I’m just going to head out for a while, call me if you need anything,” You exclaimed to Cisco, Caitlin, and Iris as you stood from your chair. They all looked at you with confusion at your sudden outburst. You quickly walked out of the cortex to the elevator. 

“This is really getting ridiculous. Of course, you don’t have a thing, thing for Harry, right?” You asked yourself as the elevator doors pinged and opened. Before you stood Harry with his glasses in his hands. There was a silence, a very long silence before Harry moved out of the elevator. Neither of you said anything as you took his place and pushed the button. You saw him look over his shoulder before the doors closed and the elevator moved up. 

You leaned back on the cold wall, your head turned towards the ceiling with closed eyes. You sighed loudly as you pushed off the wall to leave the elevator. You walked through the doors of S.T.A.R. Labs as the nice feeling of fresh air hit you. 

You found yourself walking around the park, listening to the birds chirping and people walking with their dogs. You sat at a bench as you looked over the park, your thoughts traveling back to Harry. Whatever you did, you couldn’t seem to be able to get him out of your mind. 

I need to deal with this whether I want to or not. You heard a beep from your phone and you pulled it out of your pocket, it was a text from Iris. 

Can you come back? Harry and Cisco are really getting at each other’s throats. 

You took a deep breath and stood from the bench to head back. You just had one pit stop on the way. 

“Ramon, you are being ridiculous! It’s not going to work!” You could hear Harry yell from the far end of the hallway. 

“Oh boy,” You said as you turned the corner to the cortex. Iris and Caitlin were giving each other looks, some of horror and others of displease by the two men at the other end of the hallway. 

“Oh thank god you’re here Y/N!” Iris exclaimed at the sight of you. You smiled at her and Caitlin. 

“Have they been bickering for a long time?” You questioned. “And what exactly are they bickering about?” You continued as you sat down the bags on the console. 

“To be honest we’re not actually sure. My best guess would be some technology thing,” Iris breathed out a small laugh. You rolled your eyes, knowing the two men, she’d probably be right. 

“I’ll go and try to tame the two tigers,” You laughed as you lifted the Big Belly Burger bags to your face. It earned a laugh from the two women. You hoped some food would help calm them down enough to actually talk efficiently with each other. 

You knocked on the entrance to their workshop and their heads shot towards you. 

“What?!” They both yelled in unison. They turned to each other and gave each other a look as to say don’t yell at her. 

“No reason to bite the head off of the one who comes bearing gifts,” You casually responded to their outburst and shook the two bags in your hands. “Now if you two would take a small break and eat, we can try and talk about this as a pair of grown-up people instead of your insufferable yelling and bickering,” You continued, earning a hard glare from both men. You were probably the only one who got to talk to them that way, without them tearing your head off in the process. “But for now, eat,” You said and pushed each bag into their chests ushering them to sit on their respective chairs. 

“She’s being mean,” Cisco mumbled to Harry who glared at him like he was an idiot. 

Their mood changed as they ate, and they started to have a normal conversation with you. You even dragged out a few chuckles and laughs from them as you joked about something you had seen in the park. 

“Soooo, will you explain to me what you are doing?” You tested as they finished the last of their burgers and fries. 

“Well, you know how Burnout tends to overheat and cause explosions?” Cisco started explaining to you what they were working on. You nodded as confirmation and Cisco continued. “I was thinking that the cold gun I once made could be altered to cool her down…” 

“And that is completely ridiculous, it would be better if we build something new so we don’t wind up freezing her to death,” Harry interrupted Cisco. You looked at Cisco who looked like he was about to explode. 

“Harrison, stop interrupting him!” You blurted out, earning a smug grin from Cisco. Harry glared daggers at Cisco and you. “Cisco, wipe that smug face off,” You told him, only to have Harry have a grin on his face. “You two have to stop being a pair of five-year-olds and stop your bickering and talk like civilized people. What are the pros and cons of Cisco’s idea and vice versa for yours Harry?” 

“Well, my idea is a lot better…” Harry started before you interrupted him. 

“Harry, no,” You slapped him on the arm. 

“Ouch,” He had a surprised expression as he rubbed his arm. 

“That is not how we do this, no “My idea is better”,” You continued before standing in front of their board with Harry’s marker in your hand. You drew up pros and cons lists for each of their ideas. 

“Cisco, let’s start with yours,” You pointed at him with the marker. “And no Harry, do not even think about interrupting him,” You uttered. 

“Okay, so a pro is that we have the gun in storage, just need to alter it, so it’ll be faster,” Cisco started as you wrote on the board. “Also, we know it’s easy to aim with, and let’s be honest Barry isn’t always the most accurate shot,” You laughed at the remark Cisco made. You had been at the shooting range for fun with Barry before, and he surely wasn’t the guy who hit 100% of his targets. 

“Right, so cons?” You asked and looked at Harry, knowing he would have cons to say. 

“We risk that it’s too cold. We know how cold Barry has gotten when he’s been shot by it, he needs to phase to get warm,” Harry said as you wrote it down. “Plus it runs out of power at some point,” He continued. 

It went on like this for an hour. Back and forth on their ideas, you mediating between them until they could talk civilized about it. As they started to bounce the ideas off each other you snuck out of the room and back to the cortex to give them their space.  

When you emerged in the cortex the two girls looked at you like you had been missing for a week. 

“We were starting to think they had eaten you,” Caitlin laughed at you, while you probably looked tired from listening to the two of them bickering. 

“No no, I just made them realize they were being stupid,” You laughed as you took a seat next to Iris. She gave you a look of disbelief at your words. “Don’t even ask,” You said as you waved your hand. It earned laughs from the two women as you started to converse about the day, letting you forget about all your thoughts for a moment. 

As the night drew closer Caitlin and Iris had left, and you started to feel the tiredness sneak up on you. A yawn left you as you walked down the corridor towards Cisco and Harry’s workshop. They were still working on fixing up the gun for Barry to use on Burnout. 

“Harry, can I talk with you for a moment?” You asked sleepily as you walked up to him. He turned towards you and took your arm leading you to the other side of the room. 

“What do you want to talk about?” He questioned as he held on to your arm for a little longer than he needed to. He seemed to realize and let go of you as you started to speak. 

“I don’t think that talk is going to happen today. I’m tired and I could really need some rest,” You answered as you looked down at the hand that had been resting on your arm only a second ago. 

“I’m so sorry Y/N, it’s just we’re finally getting somewhere and we could finish it tonight,” Harry started before you cut him off. 

“It’s okay, we’ll do it another time, don’t worry about it,” You wanted to believe those words yourself, but you didn’t. You were worried about it and wished you had got it done already. You wanted the awkwardness to stop, and be as you were before. If you could ever be as you were before. 

“Right, I’ll see you tomorrow,” His lips curved a little before going back to Cisco to work on their project. 

Your keys rattled in the door as you let yourself into your apartment. It was a dark and gloomy one-bedroom studio with a tiny kitchen and bathroom. It wasn’t much, but it was cheap and in reality, you didn’t really spend any time there. You slept there and that was more or less it. You spent most of your time at the precinct before Singh sent you home, after that all your time was spent at S.T.A.R. Labs. 

“God I’m exhausted,” You said as you fell on your couch, one leg up and the other resting on the floor. “Can’t believe the mess I’ve put myself in,” You stared up at the ceiling in the dark, except for the lights from the street signs outside your window, you hadn’t bothered turning anything on in your apartment. You didn’t know how long you stared into space, but eventually, you felt your eyelids getting heavy and slowly drifting into sleep. 

You woke from your phone vibrating on the floor. You grabbed it still half asleep, and you didn’t look who was calling. 

“Yes?” Your voice was groggy and low as you answered your phone. 

“Y/N? Are you okay?” Cisco’s voice rang at the other end of the phone. You didn’t realize what time it was, hell you didn’t even realize you had fallen asleep. 

“Cisco? Yeah, I’m fine, why?” You sat up and felt all of your muscles being sore from sleeping on the couch, probably not in the best positions either. 

“It’s noon and you haven’t shown up yet. You were making us all worried about you,” Cisco’s voice was laced with a hint of worry and relief by your words. 

“Holy shit, I didn’t even realize. I’m so sorry, I’ll be there in 30 minutes, I promise,” You said before hanging up and rushing to your dresser to change your clothes. You made a pit stop by Jitters to buy yourself a cup of coffee. 

You took some long strides as you exited the elevator. You were still groggy from your sleep, but the coffee was starting to help. As you walked into the cortex, you realized it was completely empty. The med-bay was empty. The lounge was empty. 

“Where the hell is everyone?” You continued to look in the other rooms of the labs, a confused expression on your face. You hadn’t taken more than half an hour to get here, they couldn’t all just have vanished. Even Harry’s lab was empty. You made your way into the speed labs, where you could hear a few voices coming from. Walking in Iris, Caitlin, Cisco, and Harry were talking by the computers. 

“Hey the sleeping beauty finally made it,” Cisco laughed at you, and you gave them all a small wave feeling yourself getting embarrassed by not being there earlier. 

“I have no idea what happened, I fell asleep on the couch,” You laughed as you made your way over to your friends. “Where’s Barry?” You asked before you heard something over the intercom. 

“Oops, I’m sorry!” Barry’s voice rang as Harry let his head hang low with his hands on his hips. 

“Never mind,” You laughed. “Is he trying to figure out your new cold gun?” The look you gained from both Harry and Cisco was answering enough for you. 

“I love my man, but he has no aim,” Iris erupted into giggles alongside Caitlin. 

“Wait I have an idea!” Cisco yelled over your laughter. “Y/N, you can do it! You have a great aim,” He continued and you looked at him in disbelief. 

“And how would you suggest we do that? I can’t run at Barry’s speed nor do I know your gun, he does,” You questioned and his face faltered for a short while before it was taken over by a grin. 

“Barry can take you, and you can go train with him and try out the gun now,” You sighed at that. You weren’t very fond of Barry running you anywhere, you always wound up feeling sick. You weren’t made to move at that kind of speed unless it was in a car. “Please Y/N/N, you want to help Burnout right? And the city,” He played on your feelings, he knew you too well to know it would work. 

“Fine,” You caved in, already regretting your persuasiveness. 

“Wait,” Harry interrupted. “What if she gets hurt? She doesn’t have super healing like Barry,” He continued, his voice wavered a little by the end. A swooshing was heard as your hair whirled around your face. 

“I won’t let her get hurt Harry,” Barry replied with a smile on his face. “She’s a tough cookie, she can handle it,” He continued, it didn’t earn anything well from Harry, but it earned a smile from you. You were pretty badass if you had to say so yourself. Harry sighed before turning to walk away. “What’s gotten into him? He's more grumpy than usual,” They all looked at each other with puzzled looks. 

“I’ll talk to him. I’ll be right back and then I can have a look at the gun,” You said as you followed Harry out into the corridor. His long legs were carrying him rather quickly away from the speedlab. “Harry, can we talk for a second?” You said as you jogged the rest of the way up to him. 

“There’s nothing to talk about,” He said sternly without giving you another look. You cocked an eyebrow at his response as you were struggling to keep up with him. 

“Harrison stop,” You said as you grabbed his arm yanking him to a halt. 

“What do you think you’re doing?” He questioned before he continued. “I said, there is absolutely nothing to talk about, you’ll do your thing, see if I care,” His words hurt. It stung in your heart as you looked at him in disbelief at what he had just said. You were stumped, at a loss for words, and he took your silence as a way to leave you standing in the hallway, alone. Your eyes started to fill with water. 

“Well screw you too then,” You whispered as you went back towards the speedlab. Forcing your tears to stop, you put on a smile and went in. “Okay, let’s do this Barr!” You exclaimed clapping your hands and grinning at the rest of the team. 

Alarms went off in the speedlab and you and Barry shared a look. 

“It's go time,” You stated as you all ran to the cortex to see where you and Barry would have to go. Passing the lab you looked at Harry, who stood with a screwdriver and a tech in hand, looking at all of you passing. Your eyes locked with his and he immediately looked away and continued working. You sighed and pushed it away, you couldn’t be distracted by it right now. You had to focus on the job in front of you, and that was helping Burnout not hurt herself. 

“You got the meta cuffs, Barry?” Cisco asked and he nodded in response. “Y/N, you got the gun?” He continued making sure you had all the equipment you needed. 

“Yup, got it right here,” You said as you patted the gun hanging from the holster on your back. 

“Well, then it’s time to go kick some ass!” He exclaimed and you laughed at his excitement. 

“Ready?” Barry asked and you nodded at him before he grabbed you and ran. You didn’t enjoy this part of the plan, but it was a necessity for the plan to work. 

It took quite a few tries before you had Burnout in custody and safe from her own powers. You really missed this part of your job. The part where someone needed you, where someone needed the skills you had. Usually, Barry would handle it, and after being benched you didn’t really get to be out in the field. Sure you got to investigate, but you didn’t get to be a part of the action. The rushing feeling of adrenaline shooting through your entire body was a feeling you thrived on. You worked well under pressure. 

As you arrived back at S.T.A.R. Labs you were received with a bunch of great work comments, except from the one you really wanted it from. Harry. You excused yourself from the others and went to his lab. He was still working on the tech he had worked on when you left. 

“Hey Harry,” You cautiously greeted him. He didn’t look at you, he didn’t say anything, it was like you didn’t even exist. It was getting to you, you were starting to get angry. It wasn’t your fault that you were a good shooter, and that they actually needed you. You finally felt like you were an asset to the team. “You know, this really isn’t fair of you,” You spoke, annoyance laced your voice, and when he didn’t react to it, it became more filled with anger than anything else. “Harry, what the hell is wrong with you?!” Your voice was getting louder as you spoke. It finally earned you a look from him. 

“There is nothing wrong with me!” He yelled back at you. You were taken a little aback, he never yelled at you. “What is wrong with you?! Why did you feel a need to go and risk your life?! Barry could have handled it!” He pressed on. The stinging feeling from earlier was coming back. He really didn’t get it, did he? This was what you lived for, what you had trained for. 

“No, he couldn’t!” You yelled back at him before you closed your eyes and took a deep breath. You knew it wouldn’t help yelling at him, it would only make things worse. “Harry this is what I am trained to do, it’s my fucking job,” You spoke more softly than before. It didn’t exactly have the effect you wanted. 

“We could have found another way! A way where you didn’t have to go and risk your life!” The screwdriver in his hand fell victim to his usual anger outburst, and it was hurled through the entire room. His hands were on his hips as his piercing blue eyes bore into yours. 

“And what?! Have Burnout hurt herself? Maybe wind up killing herself in the process?!” You couldn’t keep from yelling at him. You didn’t want to see anyone hurt if you could help it. 

“Rather her than you!” He yelled as he stormed passed you and out of the lab leaving you behind. Once again stumped by his words. Did he just say that? Why would he say that? You questioned yourself.

“Hey, are you okay?” Caitlin’s voice tore you from your thoughts. 

“Hmm, what?” You looked at her confused, like you had fallen from another planet. 

“Are you okay? He seemed pretty angry,” She spoke softly and sent you a small careful smile. 

“Yeah, I’m fine. He's just an angry and stubborn man sometimes,” You tried to pretend you weren’t affected by his behavior. “He just needs some time to cool off, it’s okay. I’ll talk to him later,” You continued as you sent her a reassuring smile. 

“Do you want to come celebrate with the rest of us? It was some pretty impressive work you two did out there,” She offered but you declined it with a shake of your head. 

“It’s okay, you go ahead,” She gave you a small hug and some reassuring words on the way. 

“Please take care of yourself. He can be a bit of a hardheaded man,” You chuckled a little at her words. She was definitely right, that was one thing you knew for certain. 

You had given him a few hours to cool off. It took you a few tries of standing outside of his room, hand raised to knock on the door, just to lose your confidence and put it down again. You took a deep breath and finally knocked. 

“Come in!” You heard from the other side of the door, and you slowly opened the door to poke your head in. 

“Are you sure?” You asked softly. His eyes were softer than before. “I come with an offering piece,” You continued as you opened the door completely, holding an expensive whiskey and two glasses in your hand. Harry was lying on his bed, one arm behind his head, and the other had a ball in it. He gave you a nod as he sat up. “Thought the whiskey might help,” You moved over to his bed with his chair in tow. You handed him one of the glasses and kept the other for yourself. 

“On what exactly?” He asked sternly, earning a smile from you and a small shake of your head. 

“On you potentially talking to me,” You answered calmly, observing his reaction to your words. “It helped quite a lot yesterday,” You smiled at him. He watched you carefully as you poured some whiskey into his glass. 

“Probably isn’t the best idea to put us back into what got us into this predicament, now is it?” He asked, his expression looked a little uncomfortable. That was until he took a sip of his glass. His eyes closed, seemingly enjoying the taste of the liquor. 

“Well, I can’t put us back into something, we’re still already in,” You answered with a shrug on your shoulders. You took a sip of your own glass, enjoying it just as much as he seemed to. It was a good whiskey you had found. 

You sat in silence for a long time, the only thing that could be heard was your breathing and the occasional refill of your glasses. At first, he didn’t really look at you either, so you decided to lean back in the chair and look up at the ceiling for the most part. Your hands folded around the glass over your stomach. You were starting to feel a stare on you. 

“Why don’t you take a picture? It lasts longer,” You breathed out a laugh at your own words as you leaned your head forward again to meet his eyes. He didn’t say anything, but you were pretty sure you could see the tiniest little lift at the side of his mouth. “Can I ask you something?” You continued when he didn’t say anything, and he responded with a nod. “Why was it so bad that I wanted to help today?” You were careful of how you phrased your question to not disturb the resting bear in him. 

“I just didn’t want to see you hurt, that’s all,” His response was short and it felt distanced from him. 

“I feel like there is something you’re not telling me. The others don’t want to see me hurt either, and you don’t see them - uh - get angry with me,” You felt like such a fool for treading on eggshells around him, you’d never felt a need to before. 

“Maybe they just don’t care as much about you as I do,” His eyes were soft, but there was something else in there. Was it hurt? Struggle? You couldn’t put a finger on it. “I wasn’t angry with you,” His voice was low barely above a whisper. 

“Then what were you? You have a funny way of not being angry with me,” The words escaped your mouth before you could stop them. He squinted his eyes at you, his entire demeanor seemed to change. Fuck. “I’m sorry Harry, I didn’t mean it,” You tried to save it.

“It’s okay. I deserved that one,” He shook his head and looked down on the floor. “Sometimes my temper gets the better of me. Jesse keeps telling me that. I’m sorry for yelling at you,” He continued and you let go of a breath you didn’t know you held. Relief washed over you. You hadn’t expected an apology from him. 

“It’s okay,” You smiled at him as you leaned over to lay your hand over his. You both looked down at your hands. “You know, we never had that talk,” You let go of his hand and looked down, feeling your cheeks getting warm. 

“I guess we didn’t,” He stood from the bed and started to pace around the room. You started laughing, causing him to stop and look at you. His expression was filled with confusion. “Why are you laughing?” He asked when your laughing didn’t seize. 

“Oh, I don’t know. I remember something about you asking me not to run away, but look at you now,” You continued finding it amusing that he was now the one who couldn’t sit still. He, on the other hand, was not. “Oh c’mon, you don’t find it a little funny?” You still had a smile on your lips. 

“Can we be serious for a second?” Harry started pacing again, and you were almost tempted to stand and pace with him but opted for listening to him. 

“Right, I’m sorry,” You cleared your throat and it got him to walk over to you. He opened and closed his mouth a few times, seemingly not finding the words to say. “Look Harry, I have no idea how to start this potentially very awkward conversation, so I’m just going to start talking. I miss the way we were before. I know it’s only been a few days, but I miss my friend. I miss the quiet moments where we just enjoy each other’s company, no awkward silences or weird looks. I miss being able to talk to you about the things happening in my life. I love and care about the others, but I trust you in a completely different way,” You felt like you were rambling on, and you couldn’t really read Harry’s face, but he was listening carefully to everything you said. 

“I have spent the past days thinking about the whole situation. I keep questioning myself how you feel about it… and to be honest how I feel about it. I haven’t really concluded a lot, but I know I care deeply for you. I care about your well-being. I care about you in a way I haven’t for anyone in a very long time,” You stopped to breathe, the silence becoming awkward as you cleared your throat. “I’m sorry, I’m rambling,” You looked down on the floor again. Harry sat down in front of you and took your hand in his, causing you to look up at him. 

“You’re not rambling,” He spoke softly. “I miss it too. I’ve had to deal with Ramon’s rambling instead of yours,” You giggled and looked him in the eyes, a smile crept onto his lips showing his dimples. “I’m really not good with words. Especially when it comes to talking about feelings. Jesse has complained about this so many times. I really do care about you. A lot. And seeing you put your life in danger today… I couldn’t handle it, I don’t know what I would do if I lost you. I’ve lost a lot, and it makes me careful… with everything. And to be honest, the other night was…” He paused and looked like one who couldn’t find his voice again. 

“Amazing?” You asked carefully and awaited his response. It felt like a million years before he gave an answer. 

“Yeah,” He breathed out a laugh. He was still holding your hand, as he started to play a little with your fingers. “But I don’t know if it was a mistake of us to do so?” The words weighed heavily on you. They hurt. Maybe you did know how you felt about it. Was it really just a mistake to him? Your hand slipped out of his as you stood to start pacing yourself. 

“But it was a really good mistake if it was, don’t you think? I kinda felt like it meant something or is it nothing but a mistake to you?” Your hand glided through your hair pushing it to one side of your face. 

“No… I don’t know Y/N. I don’t know what to tell you,” He stood from the bed and put one hand on his hips, and the other went through his hair, ruffling it into a mess. You turned away from him. 

“You know what, it’s okay. You don’t feel the same way as me, that’s okay. We’ll try and go back to what we were,” You said, the tears started to fill your eyes. You needed some air and to escape. You walked out of his room and down the corridor, leaving him behind. 

“Y/N/N, wait!” You stopped and turned around to face him. He walked up to you, a tear had betrayed you and it slid down your cheek. “Please don’t cry,” He begged, his hands cupping your face, wiping the tear away from your cheek. 

“Harrison, it’s okay, I just need some air and some time to digest,” Your hands went to his and tried to remove them from your cheeks, but he wasn’t going to let you go. Before you even realized what happened, his lips were on yours and your heart took over every sense in your body. Your eyes closed and your lips followed his in a soft and tender kiss. You both poured every feeling you had into it. It spoke louder than your words had. His forehead rested on yours as his lips left yours. His eyes were still closed and his hands still held on to you. 

“I told you, I’m not good with words,” He spoke lowly in a husky voice. You let out a breathy laugh at his words. 

“I think your actions spoke well enough for you,” You answered him before leaning in for another kiss, which he gladly gave you. His blue eyes looked deeply into yours as a dimple-filled smile lit up his face. His eyes crinkled at the sides. 

“C’mon, let’s go get some Big Belly Burger, I haven’t eaten yet and I’m starving,” He said grabbing your hand in his as he dragged you along. “We can continue this-,” He said gesturing between the two of you. “- After,” He smiled at you and you gladly followed him.

~~~~~

Leanna was hired by Dr. Harrison Wells to be his little helper knowing she also has a background in science and tech, with a strong heart. That moment he knew she was someone who keep an eye on.

She quickly became friends with Caitlin, Ronnie, Cisco and Hartley having other scientists and engineers of S.T.A.R. Labs join in on the fun of their friendship. Over her months, more like a year, of working with them whole team she developed a huge love and respect for them. Lea grew close to Dr. Wells having a small crush on the older man, little did she know he felt the same way. Soon enough the night of Explosion came and everything changed.

Later on Leanna was sent to recruit Barry Allen since doctor Wells wanted to keep the coma patient at Star Labs instead, she agreed knowing that they can probably help him out when the time came. 9 months later Barry woke up and training with his speed began! One night, Harrison spoke into the microphone saying, “Run Barry Run!” for the first time as his hand causally slipped onto Lea’s in a comforting grip and she smiled back, leaning into his touch.

Later on the two started rather quickly dating over that. Dinner dates, kisses shared, hand holding, smiles, late night talks and etc. Love was in the air, friendships grew, Team Arrow came to visit Central City aka Oliver, Felicity and Ray, Team Flash was at its highest point but The Reverse Flash was out there…

Later Leanna gets a feeling that Harrison is hiding something from her and she confront him about him, Harrison tells her it’s nothing. Until a few days later while she’s walking down the hallways one morning at the Lab she leans against the wall noticing how difficulty tougher the wall felt and stumbles into room in between the wall where Thawne kept his suit and Gideon. EoWells became the new name.

Leanna is in shock finding the information as Gideon greets her saying “Hello Ms O’Conner. But you are only that last name during this lifetime. How may I be of assistance ma’am?” Leanna ask her the questions she has. But before she can ask about article and Eowells real family history, her boyfriend sneaks in behind. Eowells was standing, as he sat in Lea his famous chair and questioning her action by entering the Time Vault.

Eowells grumbles and pinching his nose, “Lea my dear, I love you. I really do but I can’t believe you’ll ask Gideon AND NOT ME!”

Leanna glares, “Oh please, Harrison or should I call you Eobard? I asked you earlier and you refused to answer me! If you really wanted my help or something, you could’ve been honest…do you care about me or am I just a game in your plan to build Team Flash..?”

“I-I do care! I can’t have them knowing yet, I promise you I will tell them about who I am and we can be together forever.”

“A week.”

“I’ll execute the best to way to tell them.”

“Or I tell the team.”

“You wouldn’t dare, I can tell your bluffing my dear.”

That night lead to screams, heartache and anger for the pair. Eobard told her bits and pieces of his story, but not everything keeping it a lie and Leanna fell for it. He hated seeing her that way, noticing the light and laughter flickering out of his girlfriend that night, pulling Lea into his arms, he kissed her and begged for forgiveness. She didn’t even know what to think, but let it slide hoping he kept his promise.

As weeks went on, Eobard didn’t say a word to Team Flash BUT Leanna did! She revealed his identity to Barry, Cisco, Caitlin, Joe and even Iris as they all worked against him. Eddie died sadly. Of course they defeated Reverse Flash, Barry went back in time to see his mother and they created a wormhole in Central City. Ronnie and Barry stopped it as Leanna held Caitlin in her arms knowing how heartbreaking it must’ve been for her friend.

~~~~

(Season 2–3)

Months later, everyone was working once again at Star Labs after a break from the chaotic year. Leanna worked with Joe and Caitlin most of those months as a biologist and detective. She became friends with Penny and her sister Patty, eventually finding a video tape for Barry and handing it to him. On there the video tape Eobard Thawne aka FAKE Harrison Wells confession to the murder of Nora Allen and his faults towards his relationship with Leanna O’Conner, saying that her and Barry have inherited a chunk, if not most of S.T.A.R Labs.

Everything was turning up nicely until two visitors from EARTH-2. Jay aka ZOOM and Harrison ‘Harry’ Wells. The moment Lea lay her eyes on Harry in Star Labs, she felt like she saw a ghost, like she was gonna throw up. The girl didn’t know what to think the long hours she spend standing near Wells and trying to get to know him. Cisco hated him, saying he was a grump and a total dick while Lea kept watch while working on a few test items noticing a look in Harrison Wells eyes. Anger, confusion, sadness and annoyance. The same way she felt.

She told Cisco, “Sooner or later, every man shows himself.” And Harry did. He was a little nicer in a way with Team Flash, being mostly closer to Cisco and Leanna. The three could be bickering over everything! However Harry seemed to care about her, finding her presents kind and lighten up his mood every once in a while. He barley heard her laugh or smile too often but when he did, he smiled.

One night, Leanna was closing the windows in Star Labs and checking up on the rooms before leaving it all to Harry. She stumbled into one of the labs searching for jacket that held a small brown notebook she lost earlier during the week. “Ah ha! I knew I left it in here…” She said with a small nod, noticing a small black notebook that was open with nice handwriting inside. She smiled.

Harry walked into the lab with a half nod and taking a seat near the sets of tables, grabbing his black markers and a white notepad scribbling down an idea. He felt her eyes on him and chuckled slightly, “Yes, O’Conner?”

“Is this yours?” She asked with a small half smile, taking a seat in one the stools pointing to the notebook.

He turned around questioning her query and eyes widen at the small black notebook, snatching it of the table and closing it. He glanced between the notebook and her before he asked, “What did you..see? In this case of the notebook, O’Conner.”

“Just your handwriting, and a narrative in the way you wrote a note, like a storyteller. And a name.” She replied honestly, pushing her hair out of her face. Harry questioned her knowledge cue her to speak more and she continued, “The name, Jesse, popped up on that small note.”

“…my daughter, Jesse. I told you and your team that Zoom took her, while some of his Metas came here to Earth 1. I miss her…”

“I can tell you do. I have a few nieces and nephews, I know how it feels to miss children you love…”

“Why are you so nice to me?”

“Because, Harry, you aren’t like the others. I can see the pain and anger in yours eyes after losing your light and laughter, being your daughter…I know that because I felt it. When your told the truth and something you love is taken from you..it hurts.”

“You were hurt before, weren’t you Lana?”

“Yeah. I was hurt before by Thawne, friends while I was child..even told that a woman couldn’t do much better than a man in my line of work.”

“They’re idiots.”

“What?”

“I’ve haven’t known you long but I can tell enough. Your very smart, kind, understanding and a badass with a gun. Hell, you shot down three Metas this month and cuffed them in front of the group like it was nothing. You show a lot of love and compassion towards everyone.”

“I was taught well. But don’t sell yourself short, Harry. Your a genius and gentle, a bit grumpy but it adds to your charm. You’re very understanding about a lot of things and see a lot compassion in people, notice things that they don’t.”

It was like sparks flew between that in that moment, of course they pair was attractive to each other after some time working together but this month felt stronger than ever. Harry saw a light flickering return in her eyes while Lea saw a balance of hope returning in his. Lea’s heart fluttered softly for him and Harry’s heart beats strongly for her. Two kept their emotions in control, not knowing what to say or do about this feeling..

Until Christmas time came near and Cisco hung mistletoe in Star Labs cortex, in hopes to have Caitlin and Jay along with the other couples to celebrate and kiss. But Cisco Ramon didn’t expect to walk into the Cortex, to find Harry Wells hands cupped onto Lea O’Conner’s face with such joy as her arms wrapped around his waist lean in for another sweet kiss. The two were in their own little world all smiles and no sorrow..

Cisco cleared his throat with his hands on his hips and yelled, “Well, well, well, if it isn’t The Grump and The Lady!”

The two snapped their heads towards Cisco in utter shock and slightly annoyance wanting to kick him out of the room. “Ramon!” Harry yelled with his hands still gently cupping his lady’s face, “Don’t you knock?!”

“Seriously, Cisco?!” Lea yelled at the same time as Harry did grumbling under her breath.

Cisco just laughed while also in shock wanting to know everything about this situation. He swore to not tell a soul but it didn’t last long as he told Barry, Iris and Caitlin, even Joe and Jay found out. They didn’t know how their relationship started exactly but it did and it felt just right. To add onto the dynamic, it was honestly a adorable height difference, if you ask Caitlin.

The two were inseparable, with Harry always standing behind her as his hands, placed comfortably on Lea’s shoulders as if it was the most normal thing in the world. She would smile taking one of his hands, placing a gentle kiss onto her knuckles that always tinkered with items in the lab. They weren’t big on PDA however the couple always seen giving small kisses on each other’s cheeks and forehead.

Of course, they bickered and fought like an old married couple at least twice a week, even over the smallest things.

~~~~~

Plenty of things happened, Harry got shot by Patty, a few metas, Jay revealed to actually be Zoom, and of course the famous trip to Earth 2 to save Jesse…Let’s just say Lea met Jesse under the worst circumstances as Zoom kidnapped her as well for high leverage over Team Flash.

Jesse screamed, ranted and cried the whole time, in the beginning Lea felt sorry for her and comforted the girl. Until her temper started to rise and snapped at the poor girl, telling Jesse that everything will be fine and that she’s braver than this! Eventually Jesse stopped and started talk to her to figure out how to escape. Thankfully Barry, Cisco, Harry, Killer Frost and others saved them! They all returned to Earth 1 with a survivor of Zoom to reveal himself as the REAL Jay Garrick. 

Everyone bonded, a few metas came in here and there. Harry, Lea, and Caitlin had to saved Jesse from going into shock. Lea and Jesse formed a bond afterwards. Plenty of other things happened as Barry’s dad died while trying to help them.

Eventually they defeated Zoom and everything was fine, until Barry created Flashpoint and you know what happened there! Team Flash was dealing with bigger issues due that change in the timeline order cause of the different Meta Humans, Caitlin becoming Killer Frost, Harry and HR, relationships blooming, the yearly crossover events and etc.

Forget to mention, Harry was a little jealous when HR would be flirty or anything similar to that with Lea. HR adored all the couples, especially Barry and Iris! But deep down he knew she was Harry’s lady.

~~~~~

As crazy it was, it was home. One afternoon, Harry walked into the lab to find Lea tinkering a equation for a biological connect between a few Meta humans and a new answer to Jesse’s speeding powers, getting a huge headache. He smiled, resting his hand on her waist kissing her shoulder tenderly. It was a rare occasion where he was the one easing her thoughts. Usually it was the other way around, with her being the one to do so, but it felt good.

Lea leaned into Harry’s touch and eased looking up at him with a small smile. They only been together for two years but it felt like they were the married couple of Team Flash with how comfortable they are around each other. She laced her lips giving him a cheeky kiss as he went in for another kiss.

“You forgot to add the 3 and subtract the 15, that’s why your having trouble.” Harry commented, taking the pen to fix the equation and being a genius, he solved it immediately.

“Of course I did. I’m better with a gun and genetic codes then rude math stuff..” Lea replied with a small huff, pointing to the paperwork.

“That’s why I’m the billionaire genius.”

“And I’m the junior biologist.”

“A gorgeous biologist, may I add.”

“I wouldn’t say that.”

“I would!”

Before she can replied or add anything else, Harry lifted the girl into her arms wrapping the love of his life into her arms grinning. Lea wrapped around his neck when suddenly she hissed her face laying on Harry’s chest, feeling a headache and a sharp ringing in her ears. His gripping stayed strongly against hers, rubbing her back until it passed and when it did, Harry asked, “Uh honey what was that? Are you okay?”

Lea whimpered for a moment and nodded, “I’m fine. I heard a ringing like a bell..or the elevator.”

“From here? Darling, your sure it’s not a headache…you’ve been having a lot of those recently.”

“No..it’s not.”

As if on cue, Cisco came in with a confused face holding a corn dog and texting Barry on his phone. He looked up and noticed the couple sensing something was wrong, Harry was skeptical, it happened out of the blue as he watch Lea’s reactions and his face lighted up. 

Cisco tossed Harry his machine and they the used old Meta Human detector waving it in front of her until it’s started slowly beating a gentle as Harry and Cisco face lit up. After a few hours it was confirmed, Leanna caught onto elements of being Meta Human!

—-

Hours and days passed as Leanna O’Conner became aware of her powers that bounced within her. She had to ability to have enhanced hearing. Cisco and Harry were VERY proud they found out of her abilities firsthand while Caitlin kept her abilities a secret. That was until Cisco and Lea found out with Barry about her power set. They love Caitlin and embraced her new abilities, even if Killer Frost revealed to be a bit of a insecurity for her. But Lea was always by her side for all of it!

To say Lea struggled with her powers was a understatement, there were moments where she heard everything from a 4 mile radius and moments where she couldn’t hear anything at all. The first days she couldn’t sleep or think straight, having to wear noise canceling headphones that Cisco and Harry built for her or Iris hug her from behind to hush her worries.

Weeks past and everything changed for Team Flash, they’re team grew up but also downgraded. Since Killer Frost kept showing up making issues harder, Savitar kept wanting to kill Iris, Wally West got powers and started dating Jesse, and etc.

OH! The Invasion, The Musical Crossover Event and happened as well. In result, was a world wrestling issue for the teams as Supergirl, Arrow, Legends and others join in. Barry and Iris even got engaged twice, which everyone celebrated.

More Metas came to town, causing Lea to take action and step up even more with Team Flash, since she was always behind the scenes of all the action. Time travel happened and then it was the night of Iris’s death…

It was a crazy nightmare for Barry and the rest of Team Flash, fighting against time to save Iris from Savitar and Killer Frost. Stressful, heartbreaking and frustrating to say the least. In the end they won, H.R. swapped positions with Iris, as she went to kill Savitor with a gun she took from Lea.

There was a small funeral held for H.R. Wells during a somewhat cold rainy day, everyone dressed in black underneath umbrellas burying their short lived friend. Caitlin returned as Killer Frost for the funeral telling Lea and Cisco she needs some time to figure herself out but will return later on. A few days later, Lea and Cisco were packing up for a small trip to Earth 2 with Harry when a portal opened a few blocks away result all of Team Flash to take action.

The portal was The Speed Force wanting Barry to spend some time with them for a while, for his issues of messing with the timeline. It was heartbreaking to see Barry Allen go, Lea held Iris in her arms comforting the girl as she had to watch her fiancé leave for a while. Julian, Cisco, Harry and Joe stayed behind watching the mere sad action take place as a group…

[If you’d like to be part of this OC’s taglist, let me know!

Cisco had never felt so much pent rage than when he held something belonging to Jay...or Hunter. "I really wish we didn't have to keep Jay's helmet around. I hate this thing. Just want to put a dent in it." He stared down at the silver helmet in his hands and wondered just how far away he could chuck it.

"Cisco, did you see Caitlin in your vibe?" Barry set him back on the topic. No one liked keeping anything of Jay's but it was the only thing connecting them to Caitlin.

"Zoom's got her in his lair. She's scared, but she's okay," Cisco let the helmet drop on the nearest table.

"Well thank God for that," Belén sighed. "So now we have to think of a way to get her back."

"But without his speed, there's no way any of us can get through that breach that Cisco found at the hospital," Joe discarded anything. "I just don't think there's anything we can do right now."

"Look, Shivhan and I are more than ready to go through that breach," Belén reminded them, frowning since they kept throwing the idea out. It's not that she didn't understand why but...time was really beginning to dwindle. Plus, she had a score to settle with Datura since the doppelganger had made a clean getaway to Earth-2 with Poison Ivy. She took advantage of all the chaos and easily got her partner out of the pipeline. She'd also taken the siphoning device Harry had made for Barry's speed. For what, only God knew.

"It's too dangerous," Barry shook his head. "He's too fast, especially now."

"Not to mention it's far too dangerous," Veronica made sure her opinion on the matter was heard loud and clear. "You will not be going anywhere near a breach, Annah-Belén."

"Legal name, yikes," Cisco made a joke at Belén who retaliated with a deep glare.

"Mom, we don't have the luxury of options here—"

"I'm sorry, I still can't get over the fact this is even on the table," Veronica took an accusatory glance at the others. "That doppelganger got her stupid partner out of the pipeline and we know she's coming right back for you, Belén."

"And I'm not alone, Mom. If you haven't noticed, I'm surrounded by people," Belén gestured to the group. "Plus, I have more allies in the Green. They're helping me train just as I'm helping them train. I'm not backing down."

"So far no one has opened up the breeches again. We think Zoom's probably basking in his recent glory. We still have time," Barry spoke up to ease some of the tension between Belén and her mother.

Veronica made a series of hand motions but her frustration didn't exactly get across. "This is stupid. You are in danger, Belén. We all are!" she told the rest but of course it wasn't big news anymore.

Belén softened and moved around the desk to meet her mother. "Mom, why don't you leave the city of a while? I would completely understand it. Maybe you can join Axel in Italy."

"If you think I am leaving you alone you've got another thing coming," Veronica outright refused the idea. "I want to see each and every one of you-" her finger went from Cisco to Barry to Joe, "-coming up with plans on how to stop these awful people."

"That we promise to do," Barry assured her.

"Don't see how," Harry came in with a hasty movement from one table to the next. He was gathering things up. "Allen here gave Zoom everything he wanted. Practically on a silver platter."

"Enough," Joe shut him down. "We're all suffering here."

Harry barely stopped to come back. "That's right. That's right, Detective. We're all suffering. We've lost Snow, you've—" he threw a sharp point at Barry, "—lost your speed, and now... now Zoom can come through that breach anytime he wants. And that, Allen... that's on you."

"You're acting like we wanted to do all this," Belén scowled. "You were there, you saw how things went down. What were we supposed to do, hm?"

Harry shook her words and grabbed his usual choice of weapons and slung it over his shoulder.

"Where are you going?" Veronica glowered. The man was not about to run off on them, oh no.

"I'm gonna go find Jesse before Zoom does... again."

"Wait, you found her?" Cisco blinked. "How?"

"Cellular dead zones, remote... People from my Earth vibrate at a different frequency than people from your Earth. They leave cellular dead zones wherever they go."

"That's why I'm always dropping calls around you?"

"Cisco," Belén made him drop all jokes in his mind. "So how exactly did these dead zone things help you find Jesse?"

"I track the dead zones created by Jesse since she got here and I follow the trail. It's easy."

"Mm, and is the gun just a decorative item there or…?"

"The gun is not for my daughter. She's not the only person from a different Earth hiding out on this one If I run into them, I'm gonna need this."

"Okay, but you're also gonna need some help," Cisco said with the actual intention to help him.

"Really? You know anyone with the speed to help me, Ramon?" Harry left with that sarcasm departure.

"Please don't even bother to listen to him, Barry," Belén sot him a warning look since he refused to agree. "He knows he has me, Cisco, Shivhan and Nina to help with anything meta related. He's not alone, he chooses to be."

"Excellent words," Cisco gave her a small smile. "I'll be in my workshop...trying to come up with ideas." He dared to believe as he walked out.

"We should go too," Joe waited for Veronica to (begrudgingly) agree.

"Fine," but she neared her daughter again before leaving. "You need anything you call me, okay?"

Belén nodded her head, deciding to just give that simple thing to her mother. "I will, thanks."

"You need a ride back to the station?" Joe asked from Barry but he was already heading for one of the side rooms with the intention of staying.

"No, I'm good. I'm gonna stick around, actually. Finished all my cases this morning," Barry languidly informed them.

"Damn, that was fast," Joe blurted and instantly received looks from Belén and Veronica. "That was a poor choice of words. You do know it's okay to ease back into the way you used to do things, right?"

The words didn't seem to register with Barry. "Well, this is the only way I can fight crime. If I'm not The Flash, that's what I got to do." He gave them a weak wave and finally disappeared into the room.

~0~

Caitlin felt her stomach rumble with actual pain but as much as she looked at the plate of food in front of her, the will to touch it never came. She took to staring at the rust cuffs binding her wrists together.

"You need to eat," Zoom appeared in the room, but Caitlin took no acknowledgement. "Caitlin."

"If you want to speak to me, then take off that mask," she muttered.

Zoom sped out of the room and returned all in the same second, but dressed in his regular clothes. "Does this make you feel better?"

Caitlin couldn't believe he was genuinely asking her that. "Nothing you could ever do would make me feel better."

"You don't need to be afraid. I'm not gonna hurt you. I care too much about you to do that."

Caitlin could almost laugh in his face if it wasn't for the shackles keeping her back. "You only care about yourself... Hunter."

He suddenly heard the echoes of his mother screaming just as she was killed. It was like a reflex when he heard his true name, it's why he didn't use it. He shook the images off. "I know you think that I'm a monster. I understand why. But that'll change. Please, Cait…"

"Do not call me that!" Caitlin snapped, almost disgusted. "Why are you keeping me here? You're cured. You don't need me for anything."

"You're here because I love you. It may take a while, but someday, you'll start feeling that way about me again, too." He approached her bedside and vibrated a hand through her shackles, breaking them. "Make yourself at home. You're gonna be here a while. Okay?"

Caitlin was glad when he left. If he thought she was just gonna stay put and be prisoner, he had another thing coming. She got up and started walking through the only available passageway. The sounds of distant tapping caught her attention and when she matched the noise to a prisoner behind a metal mask, she didn't know what to make of it.

"I-I don't understand…" Caitlin took a step back.

"Look at that, we've got a new prison mate," a familiar voice called out to her from behind.

Caitlin whirled around to find two additional prisoners stuck behind another glass wall. Datura and Poison Ivy sat on the ground side by side with identical smirks.

"But she gets benefits for sleeping with the enemy," Poison Ivy mirthlessly laughed with her friend.

Caitlin was frozen to her spot, unsure of her next move.

"Hey..." Iris barely knocked against the slightly opened door of Scott's office. The editor was already waiting for her. He silently motioned for her to come in and take a seat. She did so quietly and noticed the opened laptop in front of him. "Um, was there something wrong with my last article?" Iris asked when he turned the laptop around for her. Before her eyes could truly focus on the screen, Scott started talking.

"Are you aware of these videos that have been circling the internet?" He pressed the 'play' button before Iris could come up with an answer.

She was mighty surprised to find Shivhan - Black Orchid - staring back at her. She stood in front of the camera, God knew where. "Central City, my name's Black Orchid for those who still don't know me. I work with the Azalea and occasionally the Flash. Recently, a civilian posted an article concerning my botanical sisters and brothers. Her name is Belén Palayta. The article helped many of my sisters and brothers have recently been able to come together in the place we know as 'the Green'. It's the source of our botanical powers. There's so many new metas that have managed to find their way into this place and find the help they need. Some of them have trained with the Azalea, others have found shelters through connections. Many of them have been able to hide better from Datura. This reporter has helped us so much but instead of being praised for what she did, CC Pictures has suspended her indefinitely. She might be fired. She helped a whole community and this is what she gets in return. I ask you, is that fair? Is that justice? Before you make that decision, I ask you to watch my sisters' and brothers' videos."

Scott paused the video there and pushed the laptop to the side. Iris swallowed when he met her gaze. He was searching for something but she didn't know what, not until he went directly for it. "Did you know about this?"

"I...no, not at all," Iris shook her head, eyes wide with genuine shock. She couldn't believe Shivhan would do something like this — no, wait, she did. It was exactly something Shivhan would do. She just couldn't believe this is how they were finding out. Oh, what would Belén say about this?

"There's more videos like this one," Scott tapped the top of the laptop. "More of these...metas. All of them coming together for Miss Palayta."

Iris frowned immediately when she got what he was trying to say. "What...you don't think Belén made them do it, do you?"

"Well since she had the genius idea of going rogue on us—"

"The only reason she went behind your back and published the article is because she wanted to help those metas. And you heard what Black Orchid said. The article did help a lot of metas come together in that place. It's what Belén wanted from the start but you didn't see it. You couldn't!"

Scott's face hardened. "If this is about my views on metas—"

"No, actually, it's not. It's about the fact you didn't see what Belén was trying to do from the start. This city is under threat and we need to do everything we can to help out the metas. I mean, if the Azalea and the Flash do it why can't we?"

"Iris, this...this puts CC Pictures under fire," Scott brought the laptop between them. He turned it over for a moment to bring up a few more videos. "All these metas are shooting at us for putting Miss Palayta on suspension. There's already thousands of responses."

"I'm sorry if this puts you in a difficult position but I, for one, think that Black Orchid makes a point." Iris winced when Scott scoffed at her.

"Of course you do—"

"It's not because of my friendship," Iris snapped. "If I had the knowledge that Belén had at that moment...I would've done the same thing. I would've published the article too. People are in danger, Scott, and it's our responsibility as reporters to give out all the information to help our citizens. And that's exactly what Belén did. I suggest you go through Black Orchid's and the other metas' videos and hopefully see what they're trying to say." Iris got up from her seat and walked out of the office without looking back.

You've done it now, Shivhan.

"You need to stop watching the news," Belén sighed as she took the remote from Barry and turned the television off. He had taken to watching every news channel to see what the city was saying about the Flash's disappearance. He did at home and in the cortex.

"Everybody's gonna realize sooner or later that I don't have my speed…" Barry tried taking the remote from her again but she moved around the desk to dump it in a drawer.

"That's not the concern right now, alright? We just need to figure out a way to get your speed back, which we will do."

"Good news is the city isn't entirely alone," Barry felt some relief knowing that he hadn't left the city defenseless. Belén was doing everything she could to keep the city safe and it really helped having Shivhan too. Nina was even helping as well.

"Exactly," Belén smiled at him and walked back to his side. She draped her arms over his shoulders, leaning on him. "Please...relax, just for a bit."

Barry could barely chuckle at the joke. Relaxing was something far, far from their reach. "I know you're focusing on me but, are you okay?"

Belén knew what he meant. Had CC Pictures called her yet? They hadn't. She admitted that it was a little concerning that it was taking them this long to make a decision over her job status. Maybe they were gearing towards firing her. Belén preferred not to think about it so much. If she got fired, then she got fired. So be it. She wouldn't regret her choice even if that happened.

"It's fine, I'm fine," she assured him, going on her toes for a second to kiss him...when an alarm startled them.

"What is that?" Barry looked around to see if anything came up on the screens.

"It's mine!" Cisco came rushing in from the hallway. "It's mine! It's mine!" He plopped down at the desk and opened up the specific page with the alarm.

"Uh, you installed a new alarm?" Belén raised an eyebrow. "I'm losing count for all the different ones you have, Cisco."

Cisco made a face at her small joke and searched through the computer for the origin of the alarm. "It's Harry. The camera in the lab van recorded an accident." He pulled up the video to the screen for them to all see. "See, this is my version of crash assist. It's like those Russian dash cams, but, you know, without attack helicopters and bad pop music on the radio."

In the video they could see Harry apparently crashing and then being yanked out of the car by some man.

"That does not look like an accident," Barry frowned after they saw the man pull the car door off the van. "First Caitlin's taken, now Wells."

"This is where he got taken, but there aren't any traffic cams in that area," Cisco said after looking through the angle of the location.

"I'm gonna head out there, see what I can find," Barry went to grab his jacket off a nearby chair.

"I'll come with," Belén offered herself. "Unless Cisco wants to go…?" She thought perhaps the more qualified person would want to go but Cisco shook his head.

"I need to analyze this footage and see if we can figure out who this is."

"So you're stuck with meee," Belén gave Barry a big smile.

"Not quite a punishment," Barry smirked. He allowed her to walk out first but he stopped by the desk where Cisco was already deep into work. "What was the last place the van stopped?"

"Woodmen and Shore for about 15 minutes before heading back to Central City. Why?"

"That's where Jesse must be. She should know if something's happened to her dad," Barry left that task to Cisco.

Caitlin knew there was no way in hell Datura was ever like Belén, and yet she couldn't look away…

"If it wasn't for the carbine wall between us, I'd wipe that look off your face," Datura was still sitting on the ground next to Poison Ivy.

Caitlin blinked, becoming self conscious, and looked away. "Sorry."

"I can't believe this is Killer Frost's doppelganger," Poison Ivy gave a condescending stare-over at Caitlin. "It almost makes me miss the icy bitch."

Datura lightly chuckled and glanced sideways. "I'm right here," she said with Killer Frost's voice and blue eyes.

Poison Ivy laughed louder.

"How do you do that?" Caitlin asked, knowing the wall would keep her safe, she inched closer to the prison.

"Afraid, Caity?" Datura mocked her with Killer Frost's voice again. But just as she asked, she gasped and shook her head. She brought a gloved hand to her forehead and took a moment to gather herself again.

All this Caitlin saw and added to her mental notes for the cure. "You're sick…"

"Tell us something we don't know," Poison Ivy glowered. She put an arm around Datura and gently laid her head against the wall. "You're getting a nose bleed. Move your head low."

"I know," Datura harshly pushed Poison Ivy's hands away from her but followed the instruction nonetheless. She lowered her head and gently squeezed her nose.

"She needs help," Caitlin knew that help wasn't exactly being offered at the moment.

"We know that, idiot," Poison Ivy stood up and walked up to the wall. "But Zoom's punishing her for not siphoning the Flash's speed."

"So why are you in there?"

"I defended her."

Caitlin thought she could at least respect the loyalty between the two metas. "If she would have listened to my friends, they're working on the cure. It doesn't look like she's got time to waste."

"I know that. I know everything about it!" Poison Ivy snapped, obviously frustrated with the repeat of information. "So here's where we strike a deal, Caitlin. Get us out of this thing-" she pointed at their cell, "-and we'll take you right on home."

Before Caitlin had time to process the deal, Datura gave a loud 'hell no!' in return.

"I am not getting their stupid help!"

"Be quiet," Poison Ivy snapped at her. "We're making a deal so that you can live." She returned her gaze to Caitlin and waited for an answer. "If the cure's still on the table, we'll definitely get you home. Do we have a deal?"

Caitlin's eyes flickered from the ginger woman to Datura behind. She knew these women were dangerous and yet...they were her only option to get home.

"You are so dead," Iris met Shivhan at Jitters just as the latter was about to drink from her cup.

Shivhan lowered her mug to shoot Iris a look. "It's normal for people to just 'hey' when you meet them."

Iris rolled her eyes and sat across her. "My editor just showed me your little video stunt."

"Ah," Shivhan actually beamed. She put her mug down on the table. "What did he say? Is he mad?"

"Yeah, kinda!"

"Good! Maybe now he'll realize what an ass he was!"

"Shivhan, what were you thinking?" Iris shook her head at the woman. She respected Shivhan's brash way of doing things but she couldn't see this one ending well with Belén. "When Belén finds out what you did, she's going to kill you."

"What for? I'm helping her! Have you seen all the responses our videos have gotten?"

Iris sighed without answering. She had. After leaving Scott's office, she went searching for those videos. Black Orchid had gotten so many botanical metas to do the same types of videos asking for the public to help Belén out. They told their stories of how Belén's article had helped them out and how it was unfair what was happening to her. "Look...it was...moving, but I don't think this is what Belén wanted. She didn't do it to get noticed."

"I know that," snapped Shivhan, almost offended that Iris thought she believed that. As if she didn't know Belén already. "That's why I didn't tell her anything. It's why I also made the second video telling them why I kept the Azalea and the Flash out of the loop. I didn't want it to seem like they were playing favorites. I thought about it, Iris, and I knew that this would end either two ways. Both ways benefit Belén."

"How?" Iris was curious to hear of Shivhan's conclusions. She had an odd way of thinking that sometimes made things slightly more interesting.

"Well, path 'a' ends with CC Pictures offering Belén her job back. She gets to go back to work with you and the others, blah, blah, blah. Path 'b' has CC Pictures terminating her job-"

Iris' eyes widened. "Shivhan!"

"-and some other newspaper publisher will hire her," Shivhan said in a matter-of-fact tone that Iris almost felt the need to laugh. She was so casual about things despite all the rumble she was causing on the internet.

"You're sure about that?"

"Of course. After all this passes, another site will think Belén did the right thing and they'll want her working for them. So you see, either way Belén wins. Bonus if she gets another offer and CC Pictures is offering her the same job at the same time. She gets choices."

"Alright, fine," Iris raised her hands to show she was defeated. "But you get to tell her what you did. I'm not getting anywhere near close to that."

Belén tired of staring at an empty roadside that just screamed metahuman attack. She could see from around the crushed STAR Labs van that Barry was getting something off the yanked driver's door.

"There's nothing around here that could've caused that-" she pointed at the front part of the van which was just totaled, "-sort of accident. Not even a single car!"

"Well it had to be something strong enough to exert an equal amount of force back on the van," Barry went over to examine the front part of the van. As soon as he ducked he saw a splatter of dry blood. "Someone was definitely here, though!" He rushed back to his kit to retrieve the required tool.

"Not a detective, nor a forensics, but I knew that," Belén promised and nodded her head. "I also know it was a metahuman."

Barry smiled for a split moment before he returned to take some of the blood off. "If it's a meta that's after Wells…"

"Then they could be from Earth-2," Belén quickly sobered back. "But why wait this whole time? Or...do you think they were sent?"

"I don't know," and it really killed Barry being at such a disadvantage. "We've got to get Jesse, though. She needs to know."

"Yeah," Belén agreed. That should be interesting.

~0~

Finding Jesse was no big deal, bringing her back to STAR Labs and showing her what happened to her father was.

"I never should have left," Jesse wiped away some tears at the corner of her eyes. She looked away from the computer. "Do we know what took him?"

Cisco stood across the cortex, indicating them he had found something. "That fingerprint that you guys brought in, the one from the van, belongs to this guy." He pulled up a picture of a young teen on the computer.

Belén instantly made a face. "Griffin Grey. A senior at Central City High School?"

Even Barry was making a similar expression. "No, wait, I've seen this kid's picture before. He went missing, like, six months ago."

"But he's not the guy from the video," Belén waited for someone to say she was right.

Cisco was gleeful with the discovery he had made earlier. "That's what I thought at first, but feast your eyes on this." He pulled up a screenshotted picture of the kidnapper and meshed it with that of the teenager. It was a perfect match.

"It's the same guy?" Jesse tilted her head and raked the detailed information on the side of the screen.

"Yeah, the blood sample confirms it."

"I need a scientific explanation and I need it now," Belén crossed her arms, endlessly staring at the picture.

"I wish," Cisco sighed. "Without Caitlin here, I can't really analyze the cells on a molecular level to see what we're dealing with here."

Jesse cleared her throat, attracting the looks of everyone else. "You know, I might actually be able to help. Bio-chem was one of my majors in college."

"One of your majors?" Barry caught on fast. "How many did you have?"

"Five," Jesse answered and became self-conscious of the gaping stares she got. "What, is that not common here?"

"That is not common anywhere," Belén patted her arm and tried not to laugh.

"All right, let's search for that Grey, see what we come up with. I'll see if facial recognition brings him up and I'll have Joe check CCPD's database," Barry made a motion to the side room he'd taken as refuge after giving up his speed.

"Cool. See what you can do," Cisco took Jesse back to the main desk.

At the same time, Belén heard her phone go off inside her bag. She went to the desk after the other two and saw it was a text.

"Uh…" she made a curious face at the sender.

Cisco was the first to notice and purposely made a 'yikes!' out loud. She then shot him a look to calm down.

"Is it someone we need to worry about?"

Belén rolled her eyes. "It's Wally."

"Wally?" both Cisco and Jesse repeated, equally confused.

"I don't even know how he got my number," Belén looked over the text again. "But he wants to meet me, apparently."

"What about?" asked Cisco.

Belén shrugged. "Wish I knew." She leaned in the direction Barry was in and saw he was concentrated in his work. "Will you let me know if you find anything?" she quietly asked of Cisco.

"For sure," the meta nodded.

"Thanks," Belén grabbed her bag and waved them goodbye.

Poison Ivy handed Datura a silver device that the brunette quickly hid in one of her pockets. Caitlin returned with a thick wire in hand that was presumed to be able to break down the carbine wall.

"Tick tock, tick tock," Poison Ivy urged her keep working.

Caitlin rolled her eyes. "I'm going as fast as I can."

"Well, you better go faster. Zoom will be back any minute."

"I could just leave you in there, you know."

That was where Datura interrupted to laugh. "But we both know you wouldn't because 1) you want to go home so badly and 2) I have your family's face."

Caitlin hated she was right. As evil as Datura was, she still had Belén's face and that stopped her from any killing thoughts. "You should count your blessings Zoom didn't just kill you already."

"Only reason I'm still alive is because of these powers, honey," Datura rolled her eyes. "I'm nothing but an asset to him."

"But if you don't get cured you'll die," Caitlin made a face at the logic.

"He's punishing me. I promised I would siphon the Flash's speed and I didn't follow through. Now he's toying with my life to show who's in charge."

"Men and their dominance," Poison Ivy growled Caitlin had to agree there. "Hurry up!" Ivy hissed when we saw Caitlin just staring at her friend.

Caitlin flinched and did just that, but her eyes kept flickering to the two metas. "You two are close, right? Did what happen to both of you happen in the same place?"

"No," Poison Ivy responded, finding no point in this conversation but since Caitlin had returned to work she would let it slide. "I was a botanist, tricked by my own boss and nearly murdered."

Caitlin froze for a second but seeing the woman's glare she set right back to work. "I'm sorry for that."

"Bastard thought he could get rid of me by poisoning me but instead I was given powers," Poison Ivy devilishly smiled. "Boy was he surprised."

Caitlin gulped, knowing exactly how that story ended. "So then your powers didn't come from the Particle Accelerator…"

"No, she was known way before that," Datura smiled at her ginger friend. "I used to be scared of you. Barry would come home and tell me of the newest crime you would do."

"I was bored, sue me," Poison Ivy shrugged ever so casually.

"What about you?" Caitlin directed the same question now to Datura.

"No one's told you?" Datura quirked an eyebrow upwards. "I thought I was the major story in your group."

"I want to hear it from you," Caitlin bit her lip. "So I know how best we can help you."

"I don't need your help-"

"But you're gonna get it!" Caitlin, frustrated, shouted out. "Have you been so far gone out that you forgot what it's like to have people who care about you?"

Datura did not like where this was going and made a move to stand. "Hey—"

"I don't want to hear it!" Caitlin dropped the second wire she'd brought over. "Now you listen to me, you want me to help you escape? Fine. But here's my end of the deal. You're gonna come back with me and you're gonna let us cure you."

Datura laughed purposely loud. "You're joking—"

"I don't have to joke about someone's life!" It was her oath she took as a doctor. This woman was sick, she had Belén's face, and she was dying. She couldn't let that happen if she had a way to stop it. "And if you don't agree then this entire thing stops here." She stepped away from the tools as a show that she wasn't kidding.

Datura raised an eyebrow at her, expecting her to back down.

Caitlin never did.

~0~

"Hey, Wally," Belén greeted the younger man outside Jitters. He looked nervous, too nervous, and it made Belén wonder what was going on. She'd never met Wally without Iris around. She was so confused why he had called just her.

"Hey, Belén," Wally gave a weak wave with her hand.

"Do you wanna go in?" Belén motioned to the shop.

"Uh, actually this won't take long," Wally said, still withholding his nervous smile.

"Is something wrong, Wally?" Belén began to worry there was something he was hiding, maybe even from his family. "Do you need help? Should I call Iris!?"

Seeing her panic, Wally quickly shot down the idea. "I'm okay! I just...I read your latest article...and…"

Belén swallowed. "Yeah."

"Yeah, it made me realize that I think I need you," Wally put his hands together, rubbing his palms together. "I want to speak with the Flash, and...since it's pretty much established you know him...I thought you could help me."

Belén was speechless for all of two minutes. She assumed he had already tried this with someone else because they weren't that close for him to be asking this sort of favor from her. "Um...I don't...I don't know if I can do that, Wally. I...I haven't even, uh, seen him anymore…" she thought the lie would make her look more convincing.

"I would imagine. He saved my life, and I know he saved yours too. I owe him a thank you."

"I'm sure he knows that," Belén said softly, though she was beginning to see this was a lost a battle. He'd hit close to heart.

"Look. I've been reckless my whole life. Racing cars, pushing limits. I did everything at full speed without a care in the world," Wally said, pausing, actually feeling the wasted time. "But it wasn't until Zoom took me that... that I really thought I was gonna die. And I was going to die, if the Flash didn't do what he did. He gave up his powers to save me. A guy he didn't even know. No one's ever done anything like that for me before. I need to tell him how much that means to me."

"He has a way of getting to you, that one," Belén mumbled under her breath. She gazed at Wally again and couldn't take his pleading look. "Agh, fine! I'll...I'll see what I can do."

Wally beamed. "Thank you!"

"You're welcome. But if your Dad kills me I'm putting you on the front line," she playfully warned and Wally chuckled. Hearing her phone, she motioned she needed to go and turned back for her car. As she walked, she pulled out her phone to see the probable S.O.S and, instead of being upset she promised she would scold.

Oh, she would scold.

~0~

"Where the hell is he?" Belén strode right into the cortex and planted her bag on the desk, causing Jesse beside her to flinch. "And why the hell did you lie and say you would call me if you found anything?" she found Cisco first as he walked out the side room.

"Hey, I tried doing my job but he-" Cisco pointed to Barry coming out behind, "-said we had it."

Belén wasn't even surprised. "And did you 'have it'?"

"It...no, we did not." Cisco made a quick beeline for the main desk.

"You might as well save it because I said the same thing," Joe admitted and Belén did notice the similar annoyed look on his face.

"It's done, alright?" Barry said for everyone's benefit. "It was supposed to be a quick in and out plan."

Belén moved towards him, the scolding gone and replaced with concern. "What happened to you? Are you okay?"

"Yeah, I'm fine. I'm just bruised…" Barry thought over his statement and added, "... everywhere."

Belén tried to hug him but he indicated his ribcage was one of those bruised parts. She got on her toes and simply placed a kiss on his lips. "Try anything like that again and I will go full-on poison on you."

"Message received," Barry tried to hide his smile as best he could.

"Guys, I got the results from the DNA sample I ran through," Jesse called them back to the main desk. "His genes have actually mutated. The functional myostatin in his cells is essentially gone. I mean, giving him super-strength."

"And there's something else," Barry admitted, his eyes just a bit wide as he remembered his brawl with Grey. "Um, I saw him age. Right in front of me."

Jesse knew exactly what the reason for that was. "He's suffering from oxidated stress. It means the protein in the DNA in his body are being ravaged by oxidants."

"So, what, he needs to up his blueberry intake?" Joe carelessly asked since her statement had made no sense.

Jesse chuckled lightly. "No, it means, uh, the more he exerts himself, the faster he ages."

"So, theoretically, if we can get him to exert too much energy...he'd become old and weak?" Belén was already thinking on how to make that possible.

"So how exactly do we do that?" Joe went again and stopped Barry when he saw him opening his mouth. "I can't watch you be a human punching bag until he turns into Grandpa Simpson."

"It's simple, actually," Belén spoke up with a small smile. "I call Shivhan and we make it a ladies' night."

"Bells, you haven't seen this guy, he's really strong," Barry shook his head at her.

"No offence but I think I would bear less injuries than you at the moment," she patted his arm and turned to Cisco. "Shivhan and I can be in the field. Can you guys monitor?"

"We can, yeah," Cisco nodded though threw a cautious look to Barry.

Belén of course noticed it and sighed. "Hey, if you three can go without powers then I sure as hell can go with Shivhan to get this guy. It's not up for discussion." And even if she sounded rude, she didn't care. At the moment, no matter how grim things were, this was the only way. "Cisco?"

"On it, yeah! I'll get Shivhan down here!"

Belén thanked him but noticed Barry silently dispersing from the group. She felt guilty for her outburst and glanced at the others, asking for a moment without actually saying it.

"Barry, I'm sorry for that…" she went after him. He'd taken to staring at his suit, one hand gently rubbing his ribcage since it still hurt. "I didn't mean to sound...well, rude. I know it's hard right now, I just...I'm sorry."

Barry briefly looked away from his suit and saw her genuine sorrow expression. He reached for her hand and gave it a gentle squeeze. "It's not your fault."

"I should be more cautious though…"

Barry shook his head and held onto her hand. "It's not you, Bells. It's me." Belén withheld the fact that she knew it was about him. "You know, after I woke up from the coma, I didn't know what the hell was going on. All I knew was that I somehow had saved Iris from a car crash and that I moved pretty fast. It wasn't until the night where I told you that I would help you that I realized what I could do. We started because of that suit…"

"We didn't start because of the suit," Belén corrected him with a small chuckle, "We started because of you."

"But helping you is what made me realize what I could be," Barry amended his mistake. "You gave me my purpose but now...I don't even know who I am anymore or who I'm supposed to be."

"You know who you're supposed to be," Belén smiled to herself. She couldn't count the many times she had to repeat something like this to him. "That—" she jabbed a finger of her free hand on his arm, "—is also not up for discussion. It's your drive to help people that made you who you are." When she saw his usual smile on her face she knew he would be alright. "I love you, Barry Allen, but you need to stop saying nonsense, okay?"

"Yes, ma'am," Barry said without hesitation. His reward was a nice kiss.

"You know, even though you're not Killer Frost, you have got something like her," Datura had not given Caitlin a rest since she'd been practically forced to agree to the new deal.

"Don't insult me, please," Caitlin mumbled.

"She hated you, you know. Despised you…"

Caitlin ignored her and plugged in the last bit of wire. "I think it's done."

"And what exactly is this going to do?" Poison Ivy stepped up beside Datura.

"The electrical current in the cable should heat up the carbine, which in turn should speed up the electrons and the faster they go the weaker its molecular structure becomes," Caitlin stepped around the wires on he ground. "And when it gets hot enough, it should make the carbine as fragile as glass."

"And then we can all get out of here," Poison Ivy smiled. "What do you know, you might be more useful than your doppelganger."

"That I will take," Caitlin smirked. "Stay away from the wall. Let's give it a whirl."

Datura and Poison Ivy stepped backwards until they were against the wall. Caitlin moved back to the small device she had found and (hopefully) turned into what they needed. There was a loud whir coming from it and an electrical current that zipped through the wires and shattered the glass of the prison. Caitlin couldn't help laugh at her work. She'd done so much with so little...and now she would finally be going home!

"Not as stupid as you seem," Datura remarked as she walked over the btis of glass. "Now that cure, then? Do you have a way already?"

Caitlin made a face indicating she wasn't all the way there. "Not exactly. I have your blood that our Belén got from you during your last fight. I was just about to look at it and compare it to hers."

"You wouldn't have to," Poison Ivy remarked. "They're a perfect match."

Datura began to pull off her gloves then, attracting a curious look from Caitlin. "Except for the part where my cells aren't stabilizing. With each new power I take, the more unstabilized my body is."

"What are you…?" Caitlin barely got the words in when Zoom sped into the room, startling her. She whirled around, scared but not for her. "Don't you hurt them."

"He won't hurt us," Datura said, completely calm despite having the speedster's murderous glare set on her. The woman had dropped her gloves and held her bare hands out. "You might be fast but I have the power to freeze your ass now, literally."

"You want to test me?" Zoom growled and stepped forwards.

"I just want my cure," Datura stood her ground as well. "And I already have a way to get it." Caitlin gaped when Datura took out Harry's siphoning device from her pocket. "Poison Ivy and I can turn this so that I can use it against my doppelganger. And then, we might even be able to turn it so that you could get more speed."

"What are you doing?" Caitlin frowned.

"There are other earths and we know that," Datura continued on like Caitlin wasn't demanding questions from her on the side. "If we get this device to work on my doppelganger and I stabilize myself, then I can siphon Reverb's doppelganger's powers and open up portals to the other Earths. More Earths mean more speed. How would you like to rule planets now?"

"We had a deal!" Caitlin exclaimed.

"A deal you stupidly thought I agreed to," Datura rolled her eyes. "So, what do you say, Zoom? Take me back to Earth 1 and let me open the doors to the rest of the Earths for you."

Caitlin had hot tears in her eyes as she looked between Datura and Zoom.

A figure gracefully flew over a ferris wheel and stayed in place as she called the area out. She then raised a white gloves hand to her ear. "I don't see anything from my end," Nina reported.

Below walked Belén with keen eyes on the turned-off amusement rides. "Same here. Although some light wouldn't be so bad. Did you guys get ahold of Shivhan?"

"No, sorry," Cisco said. Shivhan hadn't answered their calls to come help so they had to ask Nina instead. She wasn't all that willing but knowing there was no one else, she came in.

"Well looks like you'll be getting it soon," Barry's voice rang in both women's earpieces. He and Cisco were monitoring them from the STAR Labs van parked not too far away. Jesse was with them as well since she refused to stay back this time.

"Grey's headed your way, Bells," Barry quickly added.

"Show time," Nina quickly dove to hide behind a ride.

Belén stayed put and allowed herself to be caught. Griffin Grey was a middle aged man and looked absolutely normal for those who didn't know his deal.

"I know you," Grey stated. "You work with the Flash."

"Always nice to meet a fan," Belén regretted those words as soon as they left her mouth. Truthfully, Captain Cold was a man smooth with words. Funny, he'd sort of disappeared as of late. Belén shook her head. This was not the moment to think about that. She took a step forwards and called back. "I just want Dr. Wells. You had a run-in with some friends of mine and while I'm unhappy with the results, I'll let it go so long as you give me Wells."

"I wanted him to fix me but apparently he can't," Grey bitterly returned. "So once I finish you, I'm gonna finish him."

"No," Belén calmly said like she was turning down a coffee.

"Have it your way," Grey reached over and picked up a miniature amusement ride car and threw it directly at her.

Belén disbanded into vines and disappeared. Nina then shot up into the air and produced a blast of energy from her hands that zipped down. Grey was hit and rolled on the ground to a stop, but that didn't prevent him for much long.

"Come and catch me," Nina mocked a salute and purposely stayed put. She watched as he grabbed a barrel of trash and chucked it her way.

"Wow, you missed twice in a row," Belén had reappeared behind Grey. "Let me guess, you weren't a baseball player?"

Grey growled with annoyance and grabbed the closest thing possible. Belén smiled to herself when he threw a construction piece her way. Her vines entangled hin and brought him to her.

Soon as he was close enough, Belén punched him across the face. "Now catch us!" She let him and disbanded in vines again. Nina waved in the air and flew off in the direction Belén had gone off in.

"He's definitely following you guys," Cisco informed the two women from the monitors. "And he's definitely aged."

Belén had regained her figure and now walked alongside the shut-off ferris wheel. "Yeah, well, I don't feel pretty good about making him mad."

"Oh, but that wasn't a problem yesterday when you swore I moved your cell phone," came Barry's bitter remark.

"I apologized for that," Belén calmly said, although half of her did regret cursing at him for the cell phone. She found her bag had a rip inside and that's where her cellphone decided to hide out.

"Three words after a whole paragraph of cursing at me?" Barry scoffed.

"Do you want to do this maybe at another time?" Belén had spotted a figure not too far away from her. "Maybe when we're not dealing with Mr. Incredible?" Cisco laughed in the background.

"Sorry, Bells. He's coming over to you," Barry saw the man (or teen) passing the Ferris Wheel on the other side. "Nina? You ready?"

"Ready!" Nina exclaimed.

He flicked on the lights of the Ferris wheel and momentarily blinded Grey with it. Nina started pelting him with repeated wind blasts. She stopped when Grey got over the lights and prepared to receive his attack. Just as predicted, he threw her the actual control panel of the Ferris wheel which she barely avoided.

Two lassos made of vines snapped on either side of Grey, alerting of the second meta presence. He whirled around, revealing to be a white haired man now.

"Definitely almost there," Belén said, instantly taken aback by it.

It was the second of distraction Grey needed. A metal piece of fence from the ferris wheel was his next choice of weapon. Belén tried avoiding it but it managed to hit one of her knees and forced her to collide to the ground.

"Hey!" Nina quickly dove back into appearance. "You want a cure? I'm the doctor in this group. Get me!"

Grey didn't even think about his cure anymore. He only wanted her to disappear. He started throwing anything in his vicinity. Nina dodged more monitors, fences, barrels, but the last two went consecutively fast and knocked her down. She crashed onto a wooden weight game.

Even if her leg did hiss with each step she took, Belén got back on her feet. Her vines helped her hover just above the ground to avoid further pain. She shot a different vine and it wrapped around Grey's legs. "You could have had the help you wanted if you had just asked!"

"This is my fault?" Grey laughed and grabbed onto the small platform of a wack-a-mole game. "You're no martyr. You're trying to put me away for something I didn't do! You'll be dead and so will your partner!"

Belén narrowed her eyes on the man. She pulled harder on the vines gripping his legs but Grey knew his next move long before. He purposely yanked the game platform and chucked it her way. Belén yelped and swished to the side but did not let go of him. It angered him more and pushed him to keep throwing her whatever he found. She could see that with each hit he aged more and more…

"I'm so sorry," she said and let go of him, not even attempting to avoid the final attack.

An empty barrel of trash crashed right into her. She hit the fence of a ride behind, stopping her from rolling any further. When she raised her head she saw Grey go still on the ground.

"Bells!? Are you okay!?" Barry repeated his question at least three times before Belén could finally answer.

"Yeah," she groaned and turned flat on her back. "Grey's dead. But we should really get Nina…"

~0~

After finding Harry safe and sound, the group returned to STAR Labs to get the other metas checked over.

"Nina, maybe you should be the one lying down," Belén allowed her doctor friend to conduct the studies. "I just got some bruises after all."

"I've got a concussion, so I should really not be lying down," Nina playfully looked at her.

"You fell at least twenty feet from the air, take it easy girl," Cisco stepped into the side room. "Oh but might I say: completely badass tonight. Well done."

Nina and Belén exchanged glances and chuckled. "It was pretty cool," Nina admitted first. "We could be a team all on our own."

"I just wonder where Shivhan got into," Belén wondered with a shake of her head. "But yo're right Nina. Imagine you, me and Shivhan?"

"Hey, I thought you liked working with me," Barry came over to Belén's side and kissed her temple. He was glad to see there were only just bruises from her battle.

"I do, but, think about it this way. It's the dream team—" Belén made a gesture to the women, "—featuring the Flash."

"But just so you know," Nina began, dead serious too, "We'd totally kick your ass. And Cisco's too if you became a team."

Barry playfully rolled his eyes but Cisco took a mock offence. "Oh! That's how it's gonna be, then?"

Nina's lips stretched into a smile bordering a laugh. "If you disagree with my theory, practice and come back to challenge us."

"Woman, you are so on," Cisco pointed at her and backtracked out of the side room.

"He's unbelievable," Belén lightly chuckled.

"He's your friend," Nina made sure to clarify of her relation to him. "Anyways, we all look pretty fine. I'm gonna go home and keep myself awake."

"Do you want to stay over at our place?" Belén offered, knowing that was a tricky task to do when you lived on your own.

"I'll be fine, trust me," Nina assured her as she went to gather her things.

"Thank you, Nina," Barry stopped her with his seriousness. She stopped and sideways glanced at him. "Really."

"I know I'm unofficially part of this team but I will always be here to help whenever you need me. Flash and Azalea featuring Tempest?" she made a grinning motion that made the two metas in question laugh. "Goodnight, guys," she waved.

"Goodnight," the others chorused.

"I'm tired," Belén admitted but would never say her pain.

"Let's go home," Barry took her hand and let her hop off the bed, which in reality turned out to be a bad idea since her bruises reminded her of their presence.

"Oh, no, wait, I need you to do me a favor," Belén made a round so that she faced him. "It's about Wally."

"What about Wally?"

"It's not bad. Um, he just...he feels really bad about you giving up your powers for him. He wants to thank you."

"He doesn't have to," Barry tried being modest but Belén wasn't having it.

"He needs to," Belén said softly. "He feels like he has to."

"You mean it's guilt?"

"I don't...think so. It's...just something he feels he has to do. So, will you?"

Barry wasn't sure what he would get from this visit but he knew he had to do it. "Alright. When and where?"

"I know the place," Belén smiled in thought. "Rooftop at Jitters."

~0~

"Wally West?"

Hearing his name, Wally scoured the rooftop for the man he'd been searching for. He found the Flash standing across him, just as was promised to him.

"You wanted to see me?"

"Yes," Wally croaked. He took a moment to swallow and gain some composure. He had thought about what he would say if Belén managed to pull it off and get the Flash to come but now that he actually had the meta in front of him, he had no idea what to say. "I, uh, I...wanted..."

Barry could see the struggle Wally was in but instead of cutting him, he gave Wally the time he needed.

Wally drew in a deep breath and hoped to God that he would get this right. He had messed up too many times before in his life and that needed to stop. He wasted too much time doing stupid things but it was only until he had been kidnapped by Zoom did he realize just how stupid the things really were. "I just wanted to thank you for saving my life. And I know that that came at a huge price for you. And I don't know how I'll ever repay that. I guess, what I wanted to say was that... I'm not gonna waste this chance that you've given me. Thank you."

He didn't really know what he would do, but Wally knew that he would do something. No more wasting time, no more being reckless. Somebody else had paid a huge price for him to stay alive and he wasn't going to let them down.

"You're welcome, Wally," Barry said with all honesty. He finally understood why Belén wanted him to do this. Something was going on through Wally's head, promising to be akin to change. He was aware of all the choices Wally made weren't exactly the best so he hoped that this was the moment things would really begin to change for them.

Belén was focused on her phone when Barry returned to her car. She looked up and waved her phone. "Shivhan says she's busy doing something. I have no idea what she's doing but I get the feeling we'll be figuring it out soon."

"She's weird like that," Barry felt like that pretty much summed their friend up.

Belén dropped her phone inside her purse, making sure it didn't fall into the rip again. Barry would never let her live it down if she lost it and it turned out to be in that thing. "So, how did it go?"

"Yeah, it went... good," Barry nodded. "You were right."

"I always am," Belén smirked at him. "Make sure to remember that for future arguments."

Barry laughed. "Yeah, I'll...make sure to take note of that."

Belén smiled softly at him. He was holding his mask tightly in his hands. "I'm sure Wally isn't gonna forget it."

"Yeah," Barry leaned his head back against the seat.

Belén reached over for a hand of his. "This isn't forever. We will find a way."

"I mean, will we?" Barry couldn't help the feeling of hopelessness fill him up. As the days passed by, he saw the possibility of getting his speed back slipping away from him.

"Yes, we will," Belén reassured him. She touched his face and leaned over to kiss him. It was an intended short kiss but Barry relished in it. His hand moved to the back of her head while the other traveled down the side of her body. Belén hissed and pulled away when one of her bruises was accidentally touched.

"Sorry," Barry immediately apologized but Belén chuckled.

"I think we should go home and probably rest," she said, finding their current appearances ironic. "Plus, it wouldn't be so good if someone caught us in the act. I'm supposed to be going out with a forensics and you're supposed to be going out with the Azalea."

"Good point," Barry nodded, though couldn't help smirk.

Datura was sitting on a wooden chair calm and easy, but within was another story. The voices in her head were beginning to get louder, louder than they usually were. It made her, in a sense, tired, and she knew the only way to stop them - to get back in control - was to get back to Earth 1 and get her doppelganger. She just had to play her cards right and not further test the speedster in control.

She raised her head when Zoom sped into the room. "Where's Poison Ivy?" she asked but with no real demanding from her part.

"She's in charge of Caitlin now," Zoom replied and took off his mask. "We're going back to Earth 1 and she's coming with me."

"And me?" Datura swallowed hard.

"I have another task for you," he started coming towards her so she got up from her chair. "Poison Ivy will gather the ingredients you require for your cure and when it is ready, you will get what you want and open the portals for me. But, in the meantime, you're staying here to gather my metahumans."

"What for?" Datura cluelessly asked.

"It's time to bring the other world to its knees."

Datura took that as a pre-final round to the ending of all this mess. If it meant she could keep her life, then she would make herself ready. "Whenever you're ready."

Harry didn't expect to see that Barry was already in the cortex looking ready to get to work.

"You're here early," he remarked to the ex-speedster and took a sip of his coffee.

"Yeah. I couldn't sleep," Barry confessed. He had woken up hours ago and decided not to bring Belén down with him. He thought maybe having an empty, silent cortex to work at would provide with good results.

"Yeah, me neither," Harry gave a casual shrug of his shoulders.

"I know that we just took down Grey without my powers, but... I have no idea how to get Caitlin back without them."

"We can't, Allen."

"Then what are we gonna do?"

Harry slowly put down his mug on the desk and decided to just come out with the crazy idea he'd thought of. "You know, Grey... Grey kidnapped me because he thought I was the Harrison Wells from this Earth, and I know he was talking about another guy, but I just... I can't help but think... I still haven't paid for what I've done."

"What does that mean?"

"I thought, you know, when you...when we closed the breaches, I could just forget about everything I've done, but I can't. I realize what I can do. You are gonna get your speed back, Allen. And I'm gonna help you do that."

Barry still felt confused about the big speech. "How?"

"By creating another particle accelerator explosion."
