Part 3: Speed
Over the past few weeks, Nora began to bond with the members of Team Flash. They have helped her change some events that were supposed to happen in the future from happening. She even helped the team take down some of the bad guys and metahumans, and was known to the public as Rewind. She also has a steady relationship with everyone on the team..........well all except Caitlin.
Nora and Iris have bonded over some of their favorite hobbies such as shopping, binge-watching the bachelorette, and fashion. Cisco and Nora seemed to get along due to their love for slushies', while she and Ralph enjoyed going out for coffee, that she, of course, pays for.
She and Joe have bonded over their love for cooking, while she and Cecile have bonded over their passion to solve a crime. Barry and Nora due to both being speedster, bonded over their super speeding ability, with her teaching him some tricks and vice versa. Nora and Harry have seemed to bond over their love for science, well, she thinks so.
Truth be told, whenever Nora is around, Harry still gets that same sickening feeling in his gut telling him something is wrong but chooses to fake a smile when she is there. Ever since she pulled that stunt on Caitlin, Harry has been on high alert watching this new speedster intently. He doesn't want her suspecting that he is on to her if he is right. So he plays along with her, and try's not to engage unless it is necessary, rather he mostly watches her from the sidelines.
STAR LABS 3 months later... (Nora has been here for 3 months)
Today was a busy day in Central City. There was a robbery in process at 3rd and 4th street. Two flashes, one with a purple lighting and another with a yellow lighting were seen rushing through the streets of Central City.
"Ok Nora we need you to make a left here their getaway van is heading in that route," said Cisco speaking to Nora through the comms.
"On it" replied Nora.
"Barry we need you to make a right on Arrow road (I live in Toronto and we actually have a road called Arrow Rd😂😂, what a coincidence), and then head towards the bank. There holding hostages now as we speak" said Caitlin.
"I got it Cait" Barry replied back. Nora heard Barry in the background calling Caitlin, Cait, and made a disgusted face.
Barry managed to make it to the bank just before the robber pulled the trigger on a helpless old lady. Knocking the bad guy out, the Flash super speeded everyone out to safety. Returning back to tie up the crooks, a robber managed to grab her gun shooting Barry in the arm. Quickly in a flash, Barry knocked her out and tied up the rest. Turning his comms back on he informed Caitlin of his injuries.
"All done her Cait," said Barry "But I got shot in the arm," he said cheekily at the end.
"YOU WHAT?!" Caitlin yelled, "ok...just get back to the lab as fast as you can," she told him.
"How's it going?" Iris asked her daughter
"Great!" Nora replied back through the comms "everything's all good here....just wrapping it up," she said as she super speeded over taking out the getaway car tires and handcuffing the crooks.
"I'm here," Barry said as he made it to Star Labs. Immediately after, Caitlin ushered him over to the medical bay to assist his wound.
"That was too easy," Nora said looking at the robbers. She then turned her back to them getting the cash they stole to return. While she wasn't looking, one of the robbers managed to get out of his handcuff reaching for his gun in his pocket and aiming at the speedster. As Nora turned around she felt a bullet graze her side, and was at the gunman's side before he could blink punching him in the face. She winced slightly clutching her side. With the bag of cash in hand, she super speeded over to the bank and returned the money, then made her way back to Star Labs.
----------------------------------
In a flash of purple and yellow lighting, Nora appeared in front of Team Flash. "How was that?" she asked the Team. Ralph, Iris, and Cisco nodded their heads approvingly, including Harry trying not to grimace in the back. 😂
"Well done their Rookie," Ralph said messing up her hair a bit.
"Hey, watch the hair," whined Nora trying to fix her hair.
"Yikes," he said, "You are Iris's daughter".
"HEY!" Iris punched Ralph in the arm, "Never touch a girls hair" she scowled him like a mother.
"SAVE ME!!!!" said Ralph rubbing his hurt arm and hiding behind Cisco for protection from the girls.
----------------------------------
Meanwhile, Caitlin was finishing up patching Barry's arm. "I still don't understand how you are able to run at Mach 3, but not be able to catch a flying bullet" Caitlin complained.
"Hey!" Barry said pouting, "To my defense, I did not see that bullet coming until it hit me".
Caitlin laughed lightly at Barry cute pouty face. "It's fine" she assured him she wasn't mad. "Just be careful next time," she said sternly.
"I will" Barry raised his good arm up in defense. Caitlin finished the last touches on his wound and then began to clean up. "Will I live??" Barry asked like a child.
"It may be hard to tell," she told him playing along. "How about I punch it and you tell me if it hurts?" she asked with a smirk.😏
Barry's eyes widened 😳 at the thought of his wounded arm being punched. "You know what I think I'll live," said Barry jumping off the medical bed😅. Caitlin smiled fondly at the man as they both began to walk back to the Cortex to join their friends.
----------------------------------
"Yeah we showed him," said Iris raising her arm to high-five Nora. As Nora began to raise her arm she winced at the sudden pain shooting up her abdomen from her wound. Iris noticed this, and then followed Nora's eye noticing the blood stain on her suit.
"NORA!!" Iris yelled at the sight of her daughter hurt. She then began to try an inspect the injury.
"It's nothing," Nora assured her trying to get her prying hands away, "It's just a graze". Barry and Caitlin then entered the room smiling.
"No, it's not!" Iris complained. Once seeing Caitlin she sighed relieved that the doctor was here. "CAITLIN!Oh, thank god your here. Can you please see Nora's wound and make sure she's ok" she asked the good doctor. Caitlin nodded and was about to approach Nora when she yelled, "NNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!", making everyone take a step back. "I mean......I'm fine mom. Caitlin doesn't need to check up on me" she said through gritted teeth of the thought of Caitlin helping her.
"Are you sure?" Iris asked concerned.
"Positive! " Nora said assuring her. "Besides, I've been through much worse"
"Well ok then," said Iris a bit more happy that she was fine.
Knowing that Nora was ok, Barry pulled Caitlin aside to talk to her. Nora noticed this in the corner of her eyes.
----------------------------------
"Hey Cait," Barry said pulling Caitlin towards Cisco's lab and out of earshot, "I was wondering if you could do me a favor?"
"What kind of favor?" Caitlin asked curiously.
"You know that you major in biochemistry, right?" he asked.
"Yes Barry," Caitlin said, "I'm very aware of what I major in".
"Right," Barry said "Of course you do.....Anyways......I know how good you are at reading human DNA....and I was wondering if you could...maybe...help me read out a DNA sequence that I have on a new case I'm working on." he asked nervously while fidgeting with his fingers.
"Sure," said Caitlin.
"Really?" he asked to be sure.
"Yeah" she replied smiling at him.
"Great!" he said super-speeding to get a USB stick and back. Once he had the drive in his hand he booted up the nearest computer and accessed the DNA sequence scan. Once the scan showed up Caitlin took a seat next to Barry and analyzed the scans.
"Huh?" she said, "This person seems to have been suffocated by some type of toxic gas," she said eyeing the report carefully.
"That's what I thought too" replied Barry looking at the scan, "But I'm not sure what kind?"
"CHEMICAL WEAPONS!!" said Caitlin happy that she figured it out. "Based on this DNA sequence it seems like it could be tear gas or lethal agents; like phosgene, chlorine, or mustard gas. I remember reading an article about how chemical weapons affect the DNA. This person seems to have those exact genetic mutation. I guess your criminal might have got his/her hands on how to make some even thou they were banned after World War 1" she concluded.
"THAT'S IT!!" Barry screamed excited that they solved the mystery. Both of them were overjoyed and hugged each other tightly. They stayed like that for a couple minutes not letting go. Not knowing, Nora had been spying on them the whole time and saw them hugging with rage in her eyes. Breaking the hug after awhile, Barry and Caitlin laughed awkwardly a bit since they were hugging each other longer than expected. Barry then began to stand up along with Caitlin.
"Thank you again Cait," Barry said, "You just saved my ass," he said laughing causing Caitlin to laugh too.
"It was no problem, Barry," she said, "I'm just glad I was able to help".
"What will I do without you Dr.Snow?" he said leaning in to give her another hug which she gladly excepted. "You're amazing!" he said pulling back and looking at her with loving eyes making Caitlin's heart sped up😍😚.
"You're amazing too Barry," she said smiling. Barry smiled back at Caitlin getting lost in her beautiful hazel eyes (Barry's thought's not mine). Suddenly his phone began to ring running their moment. It was the Captain calling to wonder if Barry had figured out what kind of gas the victims were suffocated in. Barry told him that he did and would meet the Captain at the prescient.
"Thank you again, Caitlin," Barry said "But I have to go. The Captain needs me to write up my report for this case" he said sadly.
"It's ok Barry," she replied "I understand. Your day job beckons" she said with a smile.
"Yeah," said Barry smiling back "I'll see you tomorrow" and with that, he was gone in a flash.
Caitlin sighed missing his presence. She went back over to the desk they previously occupied to push her chair back in when she felt a gust of wind behind her. Thinking it was Barry she turned her head back smiling only to be met with an angry Nora. Slowly her smile faded as she saw the lighting dancing in Nora's eyes. She took a few steps back from the angry speedster, only to bump into the desk behind her. Nora slowly crept towards Caitlin with a creepy smile plastered on her face.
"What are you doing?" she asked the doctor innocently.
"That's none of your business" Caitlin replied back.
"No, no, no," she said as she moved her finger back and forth in front of Caitlin's face. "I know what you're up to....and believe me......IT WON'T WORK. " she growled back at her.
"Really?" Caitlin asked wanting to know what Nora thought, "And what is that?" she asked Nora taking a step towards her showing her that she wasn't afraid.
"STAY AWAY from MY FAMILY, and STAY OUT of MY WAY" Nora threatened Caitlin.
"Or what?" Caitlin asked the speedster.
Nora then began to vibrate her hand bringing it close towards Caitlin's heart. "Or else......I.....WILL.....KILL.....YOU" she replied back mercilessly. Caitlin slowly shook her head agreeing with the speedster scarred for her life.
"Good" Nora replied removing her hand. "And don't even think about telling anyone," she said as she began to walk out the door, "because I will end you before those words even leave your mouth," she said walking out of the lab.
Caitlin stayed where she was unmoving. She couldn't believe this was happening. That Nora was threatening to kill her. The worst part about it was that she wasn't allowed to tell anyone about it, or else she would be dead. She couldn't help but keep thinking, why me, what could I have done to make her hate me? All she ever wanted to do was get to know the girl and help her. It made no sense! She just wished there was another way........................................
----------------------------------
Somewhere in dark alleyway near Central City, a heavily charged portal connecting to the speed force opened up. In a flash of yellow and light-blue lighting, a figure clad in black jumped out slamming his fist to the ground. The impact sent a shock wave across the alleyway breaking nearby glass, while the ground shook beneath his feet cracking the cement.
Mask
Suit
He slowly began to stand up looking at his surroundings realizing he was in an abandoned alley. He quickly reached for his forearm which had a silver futuristic tech bracelet and began typing on it. A blue holographic AI figure appeared before him.
"Where am I Gideon?" he asked the AI.
"You're in the year 2018. The day is November 2, and it is exactly 10:30 pm." replied the AI.
"Is Nora West Allen in this time? You know the one from the future who ran away?" asked the mysterious speedster.
"Yes she is here." the AI confirmed.
"Good," said the mysterious speedster, "Let's show her who really is in charge," he said shutting down his tech bracelet. The mysterious figure began to walk down the dark alleyway and was gone the next second in a flash.
