《Hurricane:A Flash Story》 1 Pilo @@ I came home early. I wanted to leave early so I could work on my science experiment. Despite being quite athletic on the outside, I was still a nerd on the inside. When I got home, I immediately smelled alcohol. I sighed. My fiance. He must have had a real tough day to have to drink this much, I thought. He was on the couch passed out. I helped him to the room and went to my lab AKA the second bathroom. It was a little uncomfortable but I adjusted. It was the biggest room I could use that was almost completely soundproof. Mostly for the explosions.That never happened if anyone should ask. So when I was 10 minutes into the chemical reaction of potassium, sodium, and house cleaning materials my fiance walked in. With his words slurred he came in and said "Why Em.Why are you cheating on me." Me not completely focused on him said "You are drunk go back to sleep, my love."Then all of a sudden the table behind me goes flying."WHY ARE YOU CHEATING ON ME WITH SOME SMART SCIENTIST?.IS IT BECAUSE HE CAN UNDERSTAND YOU BETTER.HUH.WHY." he screamed. That got my full attention. I took his hands and said calmly, "I love you. You are the guy i''m going to marry.There is no one else." He snatched his hands away and smacked me full strength. He said "If you are going to lie than you don''t deserve to live". While I was knocked out, he tried to hide the evidence and put me in the bathtub with all of the radioactive chemicals I created. That was the night the particle accelerator exploded and it changed everything.@@ 2 Waking up @@ The next time I woke up, I was in the hospital. It was ten months later and the tv was on.Interesting.The streak.Wonder who he is.Even though i''m in the hospital bed I can''t take my eyes off the tv. The doctor walks in."oh.Your awake.You were asleep for quite a while."The doctor said."Well when you are sick you are supposed to take a nap".I replied."Well that was a long nap".the doctor said. After a few hours, I left and didn''t know where to go.Then I remembered.My Adoptive brother should be in town by now. He was supposed to settle in a while ago.Maybe I can bunk with him.I go looking for him at the police station where I work.There he was. Happy. Full of life. Not at all worried about his little sister that is supposed to be in a coma. But I can''t expect him to put his life on hold for me.That''s when he saw me. His eyes got big. I sorta smiled,not really a grin but also not a smile. He walked up and hugged me. After like 30 seconds, he whispered in my ear "I thought you would die.I thought my little sister would die". A tear fell down my cheek."I''m right here. I will always be right here".@@ 3 Waking up part 2 @@ Well after that i''m ninety-nine percent sure his girlfriend saw me because she came up to me and said what business I had with my boyfriend.She was pretty and I did not know who she was talking about."who are you talking about miss"? I asked."Eddie.I saw you two at the station."she answered with anger."And your asking me instead of your boyfriend. Why should I answer you?"I said challenging her dominance. I don''t know why but I already did not like her. But after staring at me for a few seconds she left. When i was walking out, I wasn''t paying attention and bumped into this really cute guy. He spilled his coffee all over me."oh my god i''m so sorry."He said while scrambling for napkins."Oh it''s fine." I Said not completely looking up.When I finally look up he looked so cute.His hair was not really messy but not really neat either."I should at least pay to get it cleaned." he said."No I can''t let you do that.It was my fault and I''ll be late to work bit thank you for asking."I left him there and went back to the ccpd.I felt bad but I wanted to be on time for once.So I can a least do something right.Even if it meant leaving behind a really cute guy.@@ 4 The Powers @@ When I got to the ccpd everyone was so happy to see me.Except one detective in the corner. Detective Joe West.He might be the best detective in the whole department. But he could be overly suspicious.I caught his stare and gave him a smile.Just then I heard an alarm."Robbery at the museum." says captain Singh. I was getting ready but he said I should go home and start work tomorrow.I was about to argue when I started to feel a bit dizzy."Weird."I thought.I went home so I wouldn''t pass out in the middle of the department.I decided I would stay at my sisters old house.She lives in starling city now so I would have the house all to myself. When I get there I put on the tv.It''s about the flash again."He stopped a guy in a school who kidnapped a girl yesterday night." I read off the tv.Interesting.Just then the water in my cup started to float.I freaked out and backed up and the water fell to the ground.What in the world.I put my hands out and thought the water should go up.Nothing happened.Was I seeing things.Either way I was not going to be by myself.I grabbed my things and headed to Eddie''s house.@@ 5 Telling someone @@ When I got to Eddie''s house the lights were on and I knew he was home.But when I knocked on his door the girl that confronted me opened the door.I stood there awkwardly while she glared at me.I finally said"Is Eddie home?".She scoffed and was about to close the door when Eddie came and stopped her."Oh hey Emma.I see you met Iris my girlfriend.Iris meet Emma Duncan.My...friend."Eddie said while Iris and I had a staring contest.Then for a moment I felt dizzy."Ok.Hi Iris,I need to talk to Eddie for a quick second".Iris hesitated then said"Fine.I was just leaving.Bye Eddie".She kissed him on the cheek and went to her car.After she drove away I said"You will not believe what just happened".Eddie said "Come in."Once I got inside I told him everything about the water floating and the dizzy spells.When I was done he looked at me like I was crazy.After a while Eddie said "Are you sure that the water was floating?It could just be your mind playing tricks on you because you literally just got out of a coma and the dizzy spells could be a side effect.I hesitated "Yeah your probably right.Sorry to bother you."Before I left Eddie asked "Do you want to stay with me?I mean you probably shouldn''t be alone and we could hang out like old times".I smiled and said "Yes yes I do.But first let me go out and get something to eat.I''m starving". When I left I thought about what Eddie said.It was too real to be a hallucination."Maybe I am going crazy.I thought to myself.All of a sudden a guy was in front of me asking for some change."Sorry I don''t have any." I said.Then when I turned to walk away someone from behind me put cloth over my mouth and nose.I screamed and fought till I soon passed out.@@ 6 Eddies POV @@ When Emma didn''t come back after an hour I knew something was wrong.She might be a cop but she is still my little sister.She might be a little disoriented but she could take care of herself right?Wrong.I called her phone non-stop but she didn''t pick up.She must have left her phone somewhere or it was dead or something.After two hours I went out to look for her.Imagine how terrified I was when I saw her phone in an alley near the house.I went to the CCPD and told everyone what was happening.I knew they would help out because Emma has done favors for all of us.If it was covering a shift,helping out with money she would do it.It took us about 45 minutes to narrow down her location to two different warehouses.When I was on my way out Joe came and asked "What''s happening?Where are you going". As I put on my jacket I said "Emma has gone missing and we''ve narrowed it down to two different places".Joe looked surprised and he said "I''ll help you". "Well I''ll take the one downtown.You take the one near the museum".Barry walked in and asked joe what was going on.I left before Joe could finish explaining.It''s my sister and she might not have that much time left.@@ 7 Background info @@ Sorry for putting the story on pause but I wanted to let you know that if you want to know what the characters look like you could watch The Flash the tv show.Its on Netflix and you could look up the cast on the internet.But the main character is totally made up and this is my imagination. I probably will never do this again just wanted you know where you could see all the other characters instead of Emma. The entire story is based off the tv show so the more you know about that then the more it makes sense.I will also be trying to make longer chapters and upload more often.Thank you for reading.Stayed tuned for the next chapter.@@ 8 Flash/Barry Allen’s POV @@ Two hours before Emma''s kidnapped After I bumped the girl I noticed her wallet on the floor.If I ran I could catch up with her.But there are too many people watching.I''ll call the number in the wallet.Just as I''m about to leave jitters Cisco calls."We have a getaway truck in midtown.They have a gun and they need the flash".Once I put on my suit I went to midtown and I was running alongside the truck in a blink of an eye I opened the door and was inside the truck.Before the driver knew it he was in the police car behind us and in cuffs while I stopped the car.I go to star labs before I go to work.I have to talk to them about the reverse flash.My worst enemy.He killed my mom and my dad is in jail for her murders.When I got there Cisco gave me a high five and said "That HAS to be a new record.I grin.Just than my phone rang.Joe texted me to get to work."Sorry guys I gotta go work".Before they say bye I''m gone.I forgot to change out of my suit so I change on the way to work.I have to put my suit in the closet in my lab upstairs.When I go downstairs I see joe talking with Eddie.They both have gloomy looks on their skin.I say "What''s up guys.What wrong".Eddie leaves after giving Joe a sad glance.Joe explains everything from who Emma is to her being kidnapped.He must have seen the look in my eyes because Joe said "Look I''m mad too,but we have to be smart about this.Eddie gave me a list of warehouse they could have taken her to.Be careful Bare,they could have guns". "Ok Joe.I''ll call if I find her".Before he could say anything...I was gone.I would not let an innocent civilian die.I will save her.Lets just hope I''m fast enough.@@ 9 Warehouse When I woke up I was in a abandoned warehouse.There were two guys talking.My head was killing me."What do you guys want from me.I hope you know you captured a cop.The best sentence you could get is 5-10 years." I said hopefully they were stupid enough to let me go. They laughed."All we need from you is money.Then you can take your pretty little butt home.But maybe we can have some fun first."One of them starts walking towards me.I struggle with the rope but it''s too tight.He grabs my cheeks and forces a kiss.I spit when he pulls away.As he walks away the other guy puts duct tape on my my mouth.Just then a rush of wind hits my face.It''s the flash.The two men look a bit scared but still confident."Let her go" He says.I''m hoping he can stall them long enough.I''m almost out of the ropes."Why should we do that.If she moves she''ll explode.She''s sitting on a bomb and the minute she gets up...KABOOM".He''s bluffing but I can''t say anything with this duck tape.I shake my head hoping he knows that there is no bomb."Your bluffing" he says."Maybe I am maybe I''m not.But find out and take her out of here".I''m almost out of the rope and I might be able to reach the spare in my shoe.Lets hope he can stall them long enough while I try to untie my hands.I start to feel dizzy again."Not now.Please not now." I think to myself while the flash is trying to reason with the thugs.If he could get the masks off then maybe I would know why they have a grudge against me.I suddenly remember.My ring!The diamond should be able to cut through this cheap rope.I''m still trying to make sure things don''t go south.But after 30 seconds one of my hands are free.Just then, one of the guys throw a knife.The flash catches the knife.Then he says "Well if we''re resorting to knife throwing then I guess it''s fair game." That''s when I realize that he dropped the knife behind me.I use it to cut the rope.But the thugs have guns.The flash still dodges but barely.I need to help somehow.Then I just noticed that there is a pipe next to me.I get up slowly grabbing the pipe with both hands and swing it with all my strength on the thugs back.When his friend turns around the flash helps me cuff him.I go up to say thank you to him,when all of a sudden someone is holding me by a chokehold from behind.I can feel the cold barrel of the gun next to my head.The thug whispers "Nice try cupcake." I gasp.This can''t be."You always did think you were smarter than me." It''s my ex fianc¨¦.Darrell Smith.Just then all the memories of him hitting me and throwing my body in the bathtub came back.But I couldn''t fight back then.Now I have to or else something will go really wrong really quick. 10 Emma’s past Eddies POV I am at the last warehouse.The other place had nothing and if this flops then I wouldn''t know what to do.I''m my sisters only family left. 15 years ago On a quiet night the Duncan family was driving down a bridge.They were singing along to mariah carey.But then 11 year old Emma sees a flash of red.The next thing she knows the car is in the river.Everyone screams looking for a way out.Emma struggled with the door trying to get out but she remembers the video she watched of how to get out of a car.The water is pressurized on the outside so the smartest way to get out is the window!"GUYS!Roll down the windows and get out!"She grabbed her sister and made it out.She woke up ten minutes later next to her sister.She looks around."Where is mom and dad?"She thinks to herself.Then she sees her mother emerge from the water."Mom where is dad?I can''t find him."Her mom burst into tears."Your dad is gone."She says sobbing after each word."He can''t be gone mom.HE CAN''T BE GONE."Just then sirens are coming closer and closer.While Emma and her mom are hugging each other and crying.But when the police get there they put her mom in cuffs. "W-what? No! Stop! Leave my mom alone!" I screamed, clawing at the police to get them to let go. A police pulled me off of the officer holding my mom. "We need to take her down to the police station and sign her in."As the officer was reading her mother her rights."You have the right to remain silent.Anything you say or do will be used against in a court of law."Emily just started to wake up."Where''s mom and dad."Emmalook at her twin sister.How the hell is she going to tell her."They are gone.They won''t be coming back."She looked straight into her eyes as hers started to become watery."W-what do you mean.They wouldn''t leave us."Emily says in disbelief."IT CAN''T BE TRUE."Emma hugs her sister.They stay there until the police takes them to the station.They had to enter the foster system.They got separated around 15.They still keep in touch but it''s not the same.Emily got adopted by millionaire Gilbert James.While Emma stayed with me. Present Day The reason I''m so protective is because I don''t want her to go through that again.She doesn''t deserve it.Just then I heard a scream.I call for backup and the captain says stay put.Not happening.I start making my way inside.I am not leaving my sister alone. 11 Flash’s POV Warehouse p2 @@ "Hey hey hey. Just let her go and take me."I said frantically. The criminal had a gun to the civilians head. He whispered something in her ear and her expression changed to something of fear and sickness. They must have known each other. But my first priority is getting her to safety. "I can''t believe the flash is actually begging. Wow, I guess you''re more special than I thought." He says smirking. I don''t think I''m fast enough to take him out before he pulls the trigger."Don''t worry about me. Take him out.I''ll be fine." The girl says reassuring me. Have I seen her before? That doesn''t matter. Why can''t I focus? Then I hear Dr. Wellses voice in my ear."Barry. Listen to me slowly. You have to distract him and to do that appeal to his senses or his manhood. Whatever you do...DO NOT STOP TALKING TO HIM." Dr. Wells says. Before I could say anything the girl reacted. She raised her elbow and swung it into his gut. He falls to the floor and she starts walking towards me."Nice moves. Where''d you learn them from? Please don''t tell me your a secret criminal cause that would be awkward." I say. She laughs "No just 2 years of police training." I smile. But I notice that the guy is getting up¡­ and he has the gun in his hand. "LOOK OUT." But before I could say if he pulls the trigger. I speed over and knock him out but it''s too late. He got her in the stomach.@@ 15 Waking up again Emmas POV I just remember little snippets of what happened next.I remember seeing the panic on his face as he took off his mask.I remember being on the stretcher and looking down at the blood on my shirt. But strangest of all, I didn''t feel pain. "Why couldn''t I feel pain." I wonder to myself. "Maybe I''m going crazy." Then it occurred to me. I must be dying. A little tear falls down my check. I don''t want to die. I wake up again in a different place and the flash is holding my hand. I look up and squeeze his hand saying "Thank you." As I pass out again. Ten hours later When I woke up I felt a sharp pain in my stomach. I take a sharp inhale and looked down. I''m in my sports bra and there''s bandages wrapped around my waist. I try to get up while I take all the wires off when something flashes into the room to get me to lay back down. "Hey hey hey. Be careful." "What happened? Why does my stomach hurt?" "You were shot. Trying to protect me." That''s when I remembered everything. Darrell, the flash, me getting kidnapped and shot. I remembered everything. "Where am I?" "You''re in Star Labs."

For ten months." "Interesting." "Who are you?" "I''m the flash." "YOUR the flash? Really?" "Yes really. Why is that so hard to believe." I was about to say with a snarky comeback but I restrained myself. After that a man and a woman walked in. The woman said "Oh you''re awake already. That''s surprising." "Not really. She seemed like she''d be a fighter." "Ok so what is your name, what year is it, and how old are you?" "Emma Duncan, 2014, and 22" "No signs of memory loss. That''s a good thing." The women says while checking my vitals. "Ok.Who the heck are you people?" "I''m Cisco Roman and this is Caitlin Snow." "I''m the one that saved your life after you took a bullet to the gut." Caitlin said while checking my stats. "Interesting your heart rate is a bit faster than usual." "Maybe it''s because I''m freaking out a bit." "Yeah, that would explain it. Now I need some of your Blood. You''ll also need to pee in this cup" I give her a confused look and then the flash says "Maybe not right now." That''s when Dr. Wells rolls in and I start geeking out a bit on the inside. "Emma Duncan. Detective. Studied at Harvard after skipping the 12th grade. I have had my eye on you for years. Come on and take a walk with me. I would like to have a talk with you." "Yeah, yeah sure." I say getting up." "Can I please have shirt." "Here." Cisco says as he hands me a start labs hoodie. "Good luck." He says as we walk away. 16 Confused Emma’s POV Doctor wells and I walked in silence for a bit. I look around at star labs. I used to dream of being a legit scientist. But I wanted to help people and be put in the action. Dr.Wells broke the silence. "You are an interesting person. You went to Harvard and STILL became a police officer." " My dad was a police officer. Plus on the field is where all the action is." "Well I like that your not just a damsel in distress. You saved the flash, and for that I will be forever grateful." "It was nothing. I just did what I had to do." Just then a sound blares from where we just walked from and we go to check it out. "There''s a robbery at the mall." Cisco says as we enter the room. "Shouldn''t we call the police?" I say looking around as Barry runs out the room. "Barry''s probably already there." Caitlin says looking at her tablet. "All we have to do is sit back and guide Barry." "But I''m a police officer and I don''t feel comfortable sitting back." "Well you''ll get used to it." Says Joe West as he walks in. "What are you doing here." "I''m here to talk to you. Barry is doing good and it''s probably best if you could see it that way instead of a cops point of view. So why don''t we go out in private and talk cop to cop." He says gesturing towards the door. When we get out of the room and out of ear shot he turns to me and says "How are you feeling." "Confused." He gives me a thoughtful look. "I understand what you mean." "NO YOU DON''T. I woke up from a coma less than 48 hours ago and as soon as I woke up I found out there are superheroes and meta humans or whatever you call them and then I get shot and I wake up in the flash''s lair. I mean I left star city to escape the arrow and I just come to more vigilantes. I might have not been able to do anything for the arrow but your damn straight that I will do something about the flash. Goodbye." I walk out the room in anger and go outside star labs and my headache comes back. But it''s worse. I close my eyes in pain and ringing in my ear. I open my eyes and all the water around me is stopped in the air. I look around and I willed the water back to the ground. It worked. I hurried home and closed the door behind me. As soon as I walked up the stairs I here Eddie come in. He looks at me and his eyes look scared and relieved. I go down the stairs and hug him. When I let go he looks at me and asks "Where have you been?" I don''t know why but I have a feeling that I need to lie. "I got black out drunk and lost my phone." He looked at me like he knew I was lying. But instead of confronting me he just said "alright" and sat down. I looked at him in confusion and asked if he wanted to eat anything. Without responding he just looked at me. "Ok what is wrong." "Well you are gone more then 24 hours with me calling you nonstop and you expect me to believe you just passed out drunk?" "Yeah because that''s what happend. I don''t know why you think I''m lying to you but that''s what happened." "Emma you''ve been my sister since you were fifteen I know when your lying and I just want to know what really happened. If you were with a guy I won''t blame you but don''t just straight up lie to me like that." "Eddie I''m telling you the truth." "No your not! Just tell me what happened ." "What happened was I got too drunk and passed out. I don''t know why your pushing for more." "Ok. Fine, if you don''t want to tell me the truth, I''ll just leave."

When he shuts the door I lean against it and start to cry. I cried for awhile and then I went to sleep. 18 Practicing I entered the warehouse and flicked the switch on the right of the double doors.. A long line of lights turned on one by one. I walk in looking around and remembering all the memories that happened in this warehouse. Eddie bought it for me when I turned 15. It took him months to save up enough money and I had originally used it to work out. I learned how to drive. I remember my adoptive mom was scared I was going to crash so hard I would go flying out to the highway. I smile at the memory. Now it''s time to get to work. I look around and see what I can use. First test will be to see if I had to use my hand to move the water or I could only use my hand. I already knew I had hydrokinesis, lets see how far I can use that power. I brought buckets of water and I set it on the floor in front of me. I back up and leave both my hands to the side and imagine the water going up in a stream. It works. The water slowly goes up but it''s very unstable and hard to control. After I put the water back I use one hand to help me control the water stream. This time it''s much easier and more efficient but still a little unstable. I put the stream of water back with ease as I tried again. This time I will try with two hands. This was probably the easiest of the three tries, but it would not be helpful in a fight. Maybe if I practice with one hand I could be able to fight and control the water. I start practicing. I use old gym equipment to help me and I make punching bags out of sand that was in the corner of the room for some reason and a gym bag. I think I''ve practiced for about five minutes but when I checked the time it''s 6 am and I need to go to work. But now that I have a better grasp of my powers i''ll be ready if anyone tries anything. Plus, I''ll be able to keep an eye on the flash.

What''s going on?" "I don''t know either." He looks at me confused. "Are you new? I''ve never seen you around before." "Well kinda. I was supposed to start months ago but um something got in the way." I realized I was spilling my life story to a stranger. I was about to walk away when Captain Singh comes up to me. Find authorized novels in Webnovel£¬faster updates, better experience£¬Please click www.novelhall.com for visiting. "Emma Duncan. The best detective from star city. Are you feeling any better?" "I feel fine. I''m ready for an assignment. Why is everyone stressed?" "The arrow is in town." Captain Singh said while walking away. I almost drop everything. The arrow is the coolest person ever. He saved me and my sister from deathstroke. I moved to central city because I saw a report of how there was a little boy who saw a streak of red before his mom died. I thought it might have had something to do with my dad''s death. At this point I realize that I''m staring at the captain. "So what are we going to do about it sir." "We are going to wait it out. We''re hoping he''ll leave on his own." "Yes sir." The mystery man and I say it at the same time. I look at him and I get a feeling I know him. "I''m sorry, I realized I never asked for your name." "Barry Allen" I shake his hand and look into his eyes for a hint of who he reminded me of. " So Barry are you a detective or are you here to report something?" "I''m a csi." That''s when I remember. He''s the guy from the coffee shop. I am happy yet I don''t completely feel like he''s just the guy from the coffee shop. I have seen him elsewhere. But where? Eddie walks in and gives me a disappointed look. I hope Barry didn''t notice that. He did. "You know Eddie?" he ask "Yes i''m his adopted sister." Barry looks at me with interest. But it''s like trying to figure me out interest. I realized he keeps getting to know little facts about me and I barely know anything about him. I hate that. "Well Allen." I say like a strict officer. "I have work to do. And so do you according to the rumors I heard about you." I walk away feeling like a jerk. Maybe I was a bit of a jerk. I get to my desk and I realize that I have powers. I COULD BE A SUPERHERO. Okay wait. I''m getting ahead of myself. I still need to learn how to combat with these powers. I sit down and start doing research. I mean there aren''t any cases that need investigation. I stop and I think. Am I really going to try to be a superhero. That''s when dad pops into my head. "I have too." "Have too what?" I look up and see my face standing over my desk. "EMILY. What are you doing here?" Emily is my twin sister. I got adopted by Eddie''s family and she got adopted by a rich guy in star city called Gilbert James. "Well I just had to see my second half while I''m in town." "Then I guess we should go do something while your here. I technically have the day off since the captain doesn''t want me to work till next week." "What are we waiting for? Let''s go!" I grab my coat and Emily grabs my hand. " I have so much to talk about." " We both do." (Author here. Sorry this took so long. I had to make up some work at school. Tried a new style so let me know if you like it or not. Byeee) 20 Sister duty Emily and I sit at jitters chattering. We talk about past relationships and our jobs. She had a relationship with OLIVER QUEEN. "How are you so chill about having a relationship with OLIVER QUEEN. He''s HOT." Emily rolls her eyes Find authorized novels in Webnovel£¬faster updates, better experience£¬Please click www.novelhall.com for visiting. "I would''ve barely called it a relationship. We were meeting and making out." "That''s still better than what I''ve been doing the past couple months." "Oh please. You''re telling me that you and Darrell haven''t had any "fun times." Come on Em, tell me the dirty details." I think for a minute. Should I tell her about me being in a coma. She would freak. we share a face and a traumatic experience. We want to protect each other. If she found out that I could''ve died and she didn''t know she would be devastated. But if she didn''t find out from me she would be even more devastated. I decide what I''m going to do. "No I haven''t. I haven''t really been seeing anyone in the past couple months." "What do you mean? Em¡­ what happened?" "I was in a coma. The particle accelerator exploded and I was already knocked out because of Darrell." "Why did Darrell knock you out?" She said her voice raising. She was calm but her eyes looked murderous. "He was drunk and thought I was cheating." She sighs. "I know." I stare in disbelief. " What do you mean you know?" "Em i''m a detective, I haven''t heard from my sister in two weeks and there was an explosion while I was in my hotel after I helped you move in. I did some digging and found an article about two people who were in comas. I couldn''t bring myself to see you in that state. So I just left central city and paid you hospital bills from starling city." "Then why did you act like nothing was wrong?" "I thought I''d see how things played out. I wanted to see if you''d continue lying to me." "You''re sneaky." "Damn straight." We laugh for a bit and then she gets serious. "But Emma¡­ You''re ok, right?" I chuckle and look down at my coffee. "I mean¡­ are we ever really ok? I guess i''m as ok as we''ll ever be." We sad smile at each other for a while and then she looks at me like she wants to figure something out. "Has anything weird happen to you since you woke up? This is going to be hard to believe but people have developed powers from the explosion and that''s part of the reason I''m in central city." I don''t know what to say. I want to tell her about my powers, but I already put the burden of my kidnapping on her. "Really?Thats crazy!" She looks at me suspiciously "Emmanuela Carolina Duncan. Are you lying to me?" Dammit, she used my full name. "Fine. I met the flash when I was kidnapped. I got shot and he helped me out." Emily looks at me curiously. "So you didn''t see his face?" "I didn''t. Why?" Emily sighs and then smiles. "Nothing important. Thank you for telling me." She puts her hand on top of mine and smiles before looking around. "Wow, we must have been here for hours." I look around and everyone had left. Except Eddie''s girlfriend who is cleaning the counter watching us. "It closing time. Sorry." She says it with a forced smile. Emily smiles back and looks back at me. "I''m gonna go. I need to talk to Oliver." "Alright. Bye." She gathers her things and leaves me to pay the bill. I look at iris. "You realize that Eddie really likes you right?" She looks up in surprise. "Yes I do." "So there is no reason to be threatened by me. I''m not going to ruin your relationship. I''m not the annoying protective sister." "I...I know that." "Well then I guess my job is done. Have a good night." 22 She knows I leave cash and a tip to pay the bill and I leave. But it seemed like she was hiding something. I think about it outside and realize I''m being paranoid. But my curiosity gets the better of me. I hide in the bushes and wait. A flash of red goes by into the store and I gasp. It''s the flash. What is the flash doing with Eddie''s girlfriend? I take a picture and turn to leave. When I get on the mainstreet i''m paying attention and I''m in the middle of the street and a truck is coming. I put up my hands as the truck is speeding towards me. But the truck slows down as it''s about to hit and I look around and everything is slowed down. I use this opportunity to get out of the way of the truck. "What the hell just happened." I stop and think for a second and I go to the warehouse. When I get there I realized that I feel like there is lightning in my veins. So I just run. I run fast. Super fast. Flash fast. "WOOOHOOO" I take about 20 laps around the warehouse until I realize I''m starving. But how did I get the flash''s powers? While I''m walking around thinking about it, I see a box with a note from Emily. It said "I know everything."l I chuckle. I pick up the box and inspect it. I open it and gasp. "How the hell did she know." I whisper to myself. In the box is a suit. A superhero suit. It''s blue,black and purple. It comes with gloves and boots that look like they have a good grip. There are also two batons with no ends which I don''t know how to use. Just then, I realize there is something else in the box. A mask. Behind the mask is another note. "Every superhero needs their mystery." I grin. I put the note back in the box and go to try on the suit. When it''s on I go look in the mirror. The suit is a perfect fit and the colors really fit my eyes and¡­ wait a minute. "What happened to my eyes." I look closer and realize they are tainted blue. How did I not notice this before. I need to buy colored contacts before someone else notices. Oh my gosh. The tips of my hair are tainted blue too. "Blue looks good on me though." Just then I hear an alarm. Bank alarms. There is probably a robbery in progressive. I think about it. Find authorized novels in Webnovel£¬faster updates, better experience£¬Please click www.novelhall.com for visiting. "No I shouldn''t. The police got it." I think about it again. "I AM the police though." I smile and put my mask on. I might as well practice with real people. I speed out to the bank and see four people with masks on. "You know if your going to rob a bank you might want to account for the fact that there are people with superpowers." They turn around to face me and then smile. "Don''t worry guys, it''s just a girl. I can take care of it. "Don''t be so sure of yourself." Everything slows down and I check my surroundings. I hit the guy walking toward me in the stomach. When everything is back to normal speed I smile and say "too slow." All of them are paying attention now. Another one comes running up to me with a bat and I slow everything down again. I remove the bat and elbow him on his lower back. Then everything is back to speed. "Wow, I thought I might break a sweat. Guess I was wrong." The last two guys came at me at the same time. I don''t slow anything down this time. I grab one arm and I kick the other one in the stomach and as he bends down I kick him in the face, knocking him out. The second one is holding my arms together so I do a backflip behind him and put him in a chokehold until he passes out. "Well this has been fun but I should probably go before the cops get here." As I''m about to run out the flash stands in front of me. Shit. 23 The figh "Who are you?" he ask "Nobody important." I say He runs and grabs my hands as if he was trying to put a cuff on me. "Well your coming with me." "No, I don''t think I will." I break free of his grasp and I start running. He follows me. I try to shake him by taking sharp turns but I can''t seem to lose him. I get an idea and I start to run faster. I run behind a building and try running up a wall. To my surprise it works. "Lets see if you can come back from this flash." I make a u-turn and hold my arm out as I go in front of him. He hits my arm head on and falls to the ground. I run back to the warehouse to calm down. "Oh my gosh. I just had a fight with the flash and won." I smile to myself. Not bad for a rookie. I take off my suit and put it back into the box. Then I notice another box by the door. With a note that said "I forgot to give you these. It should help to control your powers. Just think of a weapon and use these to make it out. Have fun sis - Emily In the box are two batons with no ends. I get up and set up a target. I think of the weapon Emily would do. I think of a whip. I take a deep breath and I strike the target. I heard a loud KRAK and open my eyes. There''s feathers everywhere. I look at the batons and out of one side is whip made completely out of water. I then try doing another weapon. This time I think of weapons that are more badass. A sword. I think of a sword and watch as it takes place made completely out of water. I touch the ends to see if it was sharp. It''s a bit dull. I think of the ends getting sharper and sharper. I touch the end again and I almost cut my finger. "Interesting." I say inspecting the sword and the baton. I came to the conclusion that I could think of any weapon and this baton harnesses the water into whatever I think of. That requires a lot of technology and money. Did she tell Oliver Queen? I hope she didn''t, this power could be dangerous for the people I care about. But then again she was trying to look for the flash. "Why was she looking for the flash?" That''s when it occurred to me. She was in the city when the particle accelerator exploded. She must have powers too. Wait. What if she knows the arrow? Superheroes team up all the time. Omg this is so cool. My sister is freaking superhero.I''M A FREAKING SUPERHERO. Just then I think about my mother. I think about what I saw the night before my dad died. The red and yellow lightning I saw before our car went down into the water. The flash has yellow lightning. My eyes widen with realization. "What the hell." Was the flash there on the night my dad died? Did he frame my mother for purposefully trying to murder him? Filled with anger I put on my costume with my mask and I run around central city looking for the flash. He must have gone back to his home base after the ass whooping I gave him. I think of the places that could have the technology to manage the flash. "Star labs." It made sense because that''s where I got my powers. I have to go to the place it all started.

Once I get there I slow down when I get inside. I want the element of surprise. As I am tiptoeing I see the suit. It''s propped up on a mannequin and it''s a little bit dirty. I hear multiple footsteps walking toward me and a familiar voice. I can''t remember who it is though. "Cisco the suit is not that important." "Yes it is Caitlin! Barry got it dirty and now I have to clean it." While they continue to argue about the suit I think of what to do with them. I could knock them out or I could keep them somewhere. While I''m thinking I accidentally knock something over. "What was that?" They slowly make their way over here and I have nowhere to go. In an idiot decision I run all over star labs and try to find somewhere to put them. I find a jail like place in the basement and I run back up to grab them. "CISCO, HURRY IT MIGHT BE THE REVERSE FLASH." I grab the woman using her handprint to get in then go back for the man. When I return I can''t find him anywhere. I slowly walk through the lab trying to find him when suddenly I flip through the air and land on my back. It''s the flash. "So we meet again." I roll my eyes and do a kick up flip to my feet. "Well I have some unfinished business from our last fight." "Well then, let''s finish it." Just then I feel a piercing pain in my left leg. I look down and notice an arrow. Damn it. "He''s not alone this time." I pull out the arrow and speed up in one place kinda like a faze. However, instead of going through the ground I just heal my leg. It''s a cool trick for later. When I''m done I take the arrow in one hand and drop on the floor in front of me. "Then I guess I have to take down two heroes today" I get ready to charge but Emily steps in front of me. She''s wearing her suit and is giving me a death glare. I grab her and run to the roof of STAR labs. "Emily, what the hell?" "What do you think you''re doing? How did you manage to piss off both the flash and the arrow." "Do you remember the night dad was killed? We saw a flash of lightning. Kind of like the one trailing the flash." Emily is taken aback. She''s processing the accusation. Until she finally breaks the silence. "The flash didn''t kill dad. It was the reverse flash. The reverse flash killed the flash''s mom and framed his dad. He probably did the same for us." I stare in disbelief. That''s impossible. But I can''t really say anything about things being impossible. I can shoot water out of my hands for crying out loud. I turn my back so I can look at the city below. I don''t know what to think at this point. "Do they know who you really are?" "Yes they do. I''ve been working with the arrow for 2 years." I freeze with my back still toward her. My twin sister has been working with the arrow for 2 years¡­ and she didn''t tell me. I can''t be mad though. If she didn''t find out by herself I would''ve never told her. "Are you sure you trust them?" Emily looks down at her feet. "100%" She says with a smile "I still don''t want them to know who I really am. I know you trust them but I don''t." Find authorized novels in Webnovel£¬faster updates, better experience£¬Please click www.novelhall.com for visiting. "I understand. But then what should I call you. Like your superhero name." I think about it. "Emily¡­ Do you remember what dad used to call me as a kid? He used to call me his hurricane of happiness." Emily grins. "That''s badass." I look over my shoulder and smile. My eyes glow red as I speed us back to the arrow and the flash. I stand at a good distance away while Emily faces them in front of me. "Guys. I would like you to meet the newest superhero." Emily looks back at me and smiles. I can tell by the look in her eye that she has been wanting to do this for a while. "Meet Hurricane." 26 Meet Hurricane pt. 2 flash POV When Emily introduced hurricane I didn''t know how to feel.I look at Oliver for a hint but he has a straight face. I can''t read him. Hurricane walks up to me and I look into her eyes. One eye is blue and the other a dark brown. Cool. "Hi. I''m sorry that I fought you earlier. I hope I didn''t hurt you." "It''s fine. But your powers are really impressive. You were able to outrun me and heal yourself. If you want my team and I could run some tests." Hurricanes eyes go wide as if she remembers something. She runs somewhere and comes back with caitlin. "OK let me just say, being stuck in the pipeline. Not fun." "I am so sorry. I thought you were a threat and I didn''t want to take any chances." Caitlin gives her a strange look then looks at me. I look at Caitlin then back at hurricane. Caitlin doesn''t trust her. I don''t either. But I trust Emily. She''s Oliver''s right hand woman and Oliver barely trusts anyone. "Well judging by the atmosphere you guys dont trust me. But you don''t have to. We do not have to be friends¡­ we just have to work together." I''m taken aback by what she said. "What makes you think we can work together." I said. "Well I mean I already know who both or you are. Barry Allen and Oliver Queen." I look at Emily. Did she tell her who we are? "Don''t look at me. I never told her who you are." "Well it doesn''t take a genius to figure out that a week after Oliver came into town the arrow showed up. Or that after Barry Allen came out of his coma reports of a streak started to flare up. And please don''t insult my intelligence by denying it. I know about all of you. So it''s either we work together or you lock me up and I promise I won''t go easy." I look over at Oliver and he seems mad. Before he says anything or reaches for an arrow I take off my mask. "Well then I guess you figured it out. You''re very smart. But can I ask who you are." She looks at me straight in the eye without a smile. I can tell she doesn''t trust me. "No. Look as I said before the only person I trust is Emily. Not you and not Oliver. Don''t try to find out who I am. I am very careful and if you try to figure out who I am I will tell everyone what you''re doing." Oliver speaks up. "What''s stopping me from shooting you with an arrow, taking off your mask and putting you in the pipeline." "Well you could do that. But what makes you think I don''t have a failsafe. What if I had an entire thing rigged so if I don''t stop it your information gets sent everywhere. Do you really want to risk that?" This is escalating quickly. I have to diffuse the situation. "OK. Why don''t we all calm down." "Barry, can I speak to you for a moment. Emily and Caitlin watch hurricane." Oliver and I go into the hallway. Why do I feel scared. 27 Rocky Emma’s POV When Barry and Oliver leave Emily gives me a dirty look. I sigh. "What''s wrong now?" Emily looks at Caitlin and Caitlin looks back at her. "I''m going to give you guys some privacy. I do not want to be in another argument today." When Caitlin leaves the room Emily starts to talk. "Hurricane what the hell was that?" "What do you mean Emily." "I mean why in the world would threaten the flash AND the arrow. The point of meeting them was so you gain their trust and work together to find the person who ruined our lives." "Lily, they would''ve taken off my mask sooner or later. I needed something to make sure that wouldn''t happen. Plus I''m not 100% convinced Barry had nothing to do with dad dying. You have to trust me. You''re my second half." "I trust you. But don''t play with fire. Don''t underestimate Barry." I smile. "I won''t. I promise." I stick out my pinky and Emily laughs. We used to do this when we were kids and it''s been our thing since. She grabs my pinky with hers and we laugh when we let go. Then I think of something. "Lily¡­ how did you know I had powers." She smiles. "I''ve gotten really good at sensing other people''s powers. Plus your eye was tinted blue and that kind of gave it away. You need contacts." "Yeah you''re right I do. But like what are your powers." "Let''s go outside. But make sure we are far from civilians" I grab Emily and take her to a secluded field away from people. She touches her eye and takes out her contact. She turns around to reveal one of her eyes is green. "You might want to stand back." She says. I back up a little and observe. She closes her eyes, breaths out, and points her hand to the ground. When she does that the grass and the flowers start to grow longer until they are vines dancing to Emily''s will. My inner nerd sparks out. "Wicked." She turns around and I notice her eye is glowing. The glow slowly goes down till the eye is just a regular green. "Tada. It''s not just plants. I can do it with rocks too." "That''s incredible. You can manipulate the molecules inside of a plant and rocks to do whatever you want. I can do the same with water." Emily looks worried. "Emma¡­ you can also mimic other people''s powers." I''m shocked. But I think about it. That would explain the super speed. I''ve been so focused on how to control it I didn''t realize what I had. "Wait. How do you know?" "Em, it''s obvious. I''m not stupid." "Hold up. How do I get the power though? How long do I have it for?" "Slow down. We can think about that back at star labs. Let''s go back." "Ok...But Emily. What''s your superhero name?" Emily smiles while she grabs on to me. "Hey Hurricane, I''m rocky." 28 Trust flash POV When Oliver and I are out of earshot Oliver turns to me and takes off his mask. He pinches the bridge of his nose and closes his eyes in frustration. "Barry, why did you tell her who we are?" "I didn''t tell her she figured it out." "But you didn''t deny it. Barry you can''t trust her." Just then there is a woosh. We go to check what happend. Hurricane and Emily are gone. Oliver looks even more mad then when hurricane threatend him. "Now they''ve gone somewhere!" "Oliver they''ll come back. Why are you so upset about this?" "Because if my secret gets out it won''t just hurt me. It''ll hurt my team." "I know you don''t trust people easily. But I feel like I can trust her. You can trust me Ollie." Oliver thinks . He then sighs and says "Just be careful Barry." Hurricane and Emily are back with a woosh. "We''re back. We had to leave for a second." "Emily, we should probably go back to star city. Felicity and Diggle went ahead of us." "Ok Ollie. Are we going by your motorcycle or by train." "We can take the motorcycle." "Alright. Let''s get going. Bye bare, bye Hurricane." At the same time me and hurricane say bye. We look at each other and she smiles at me. I smile back. Emily and Oliver are gone and it''s just me and Hurricane. " Well I''m going home. It''s late." "Can u ask you a question?" She seems startled by that. "Of course." "Why did you want to fight me and Oliver today? You came to star labs and was ready for a brawl." She chuckles sadly. "I thought you were the one to ruin my life. But Emily made me realize that it wasn''t your fault. She told me about your mother." "She did?" "Yeah. Turns out we are looking for the same person. So I decided to help. Maybe we can find him." "Maybe." Emma gets ready to run but she hesitates. Or I think she hesitates. "Um Barry? Can I see your hand?" "Sure I guess." She grabs my hand with the glove on and nothing happens. "Can I take off your glove?" "Yeah." After she takes off my glove she does a super speed lap around star labs. "Interesting. I can only get the powers by skin to skin contact." "What?" I''m so confused as to what she is talking about. "I will tell you tomorrow. I got to go do something. Bye." "B-" Before I could finish she runs out of the room. Let''s see how this goes. 29 Trust Emily’s POV Oliver and I are riding in silence.My ha I feel like he''s mad at me. Probably because someone he didn''t know figured out who he was, threatened him and then ran off with me. He was probably super worried but is too stubborn to admit it.

"Emily what were you thinking?" "I was thinking that instead of you all fighting to the death we could spare time and just fight the common enemy." "Emily, she knows who I am. Why do you trust her so much?" Should I tell Oliver who she really is? She wanted to keep her identity a secret. I have to trust it''s for the correct reason. "I''ve known her for a very long time. She''s the most trustworthy person I''ve ever met. I promise you Ollie¡­ she''s a good person." Oliver stays quiet. We get to my apartment in Star city. He comes inside and we sit on the couch. The thing about Oliver is that he''s a big sweetheart once you get to know him. "Lily, I trust you. I just don''t trust Hurricane. But I love you so I will trust you enough with her. But if she breathes funny she''s getting an arrow in the chest." I smile and start kissing him. What happens after that is not kid friendly ;). 30 Welcome to Team Flash I run to the nearest store and get a journal. I pay in cash and run out. I''ll use this to write down new things about my powers. I go to the warehouse. I change when I get there. I grab a pen, sit down and document what I already know. "I can condense water molecules in the air and control it. I can also mimic powers but it''s only temporary. I''m going to time how long it lasts. I touched barry Allen at 12:17 am." When I wrote that I realized how late it is. I have to sleep. I have work tomorrow and I don''t want to be late. I am going to monitor my powers and see if I need to adjust anything. I get up and almost pass out. "What in the world¡­" I think to myself. Before I leave I try to think of what could be making me feel like this. Then I realized it was probably the fact that the flash''s speed also speeds up everything in my system including my metabolism. I need to eat more food if I''m going to use his power. I run to an alley near a gas station so I could get snacks. I end up buying $100 worth of food. I eat it all before I go to sleep. I don''t know if I can afford to keep using his powers for long. When I wake up I go to the warehouse first. I want to go to star labs and see if they need anything. When I get there I make sure my mask is secure. I see Caitlin and Cisco talking to Barry and they seem worried. Before I walk in I try to determine my approach. If I want to be friendly or strictly business. I try to listen to what they say. "Barry just because you trust hurricanes doesn''t mean we should. She could be dangerous." "She''s not dangerous." "How do you know that?" "It''s a feeling. You guys don''t have to trust her but you have to trust me. She isn''t dangerous." "He''s right¡­ I''m not dangerous." I say walking in. "I''m trying to help people. Whatever you think of me is irrelevant. But I am trying to find someone and I can''t do that on my own. So I am asking for your help." One thing I''ve learned while being an officer is make sure people think things are their ideas and they will do whatever you want. They stay in silence while I wait for an answer. Until Cisco speaks up first. "I believe you... What about you Caitlin?" We are all looking at caitlin. Caitlin looks around and shrugs looking me directly in the eye while saying "I might as well." I give her a cold stare back. She seems like a badass. Barry breaks the silence by saying "I guess you are officially on the team. Welcome to team flash." Dr. Wells rolls in. "Welcome indeed. I have a feeling you are going to fit right in."
