Alissa (an arrowverse story)

Chapter 13. Guilty

"It was either you or him," I said turning to Dick. "It's okay, you did what you had to do," he said before all our heads turned to Rose at the sound of her waking up. Jayson and Dick rushed over to her. "Rose, are you okay?" Jayson asked her as I stood and watched from the other side of the room. "Yeah, it's nice to know you were worried about me," she said sarcastically. Jayson chuckled at her witty remark as I rolled my eyes. Rose then looked at me in my direction as her face dropped. "What are you doing here?" She asked me, getting up off the bed. "Rose, she's here to help us," Jayson said as we shared a glance. "Help us? She tried to kill us!" She said with anger as she started walking towards me. "Rose, you should..." Jayson said, trying to grab onto her arm, but getting shoved back as Rose cut him off. "Don't touch me!" She said as she slowly made her way over to me.

"Why should we trust you?" Rose asked me as she got right in front of me. I stood there and said nothing with crossed arms. God, I just wanted to slap her, but I didn't. "Rose that's enough!" Dick said as Rose turned to him. "Why are you defending her?!" She asked him in anger. "Because, he's my father! Is that what you wanna hear?!" I said finally snapping. "And you want to know something else Rose?!" I said getting right in her face like she did to me. "I don't have to prove myself to you," I said to her. I backed up from her and looked back at Jayson and Dick to see them look a little bit scared. I looked at my reflection on the shining desk and saw myself with my eyes glowing a bright colour of red and my hair with electric shocks in it. I calmed myself down and speed walked out of the room.

Nobody's p.o.v
"Look what you did!" Jayson yelled at Rose. "Why do you care about her so much? Is she like your girlfriend or something?" Rose asked. Jayson looked to Dick with a nervous face as Dick glared at him. "Stay out of it!" Jayson said to Rose before heading out of the room to go look for her. He finally found her in the speed lab. He looked up to see the blue lightning going around on the ceiling. Once Alissa came out of the speed tunnel she started wiping the sweat off her forehead. "She's right you know," she said as soon as she saw Jayson come in. "I'm a killer!" Alissa said she put the towel down, turning her back to Jayson. "You're not a killer, Jayson said as he stepped closer to her. "What did you even see in me anyways?" Alissa asked as she turned around, only to be met with Jayson standing so close to her. "I saw myself in you and a scared girl living on the streets," he replied.

We stood there staring into each other's eyes, getting closer and closer, until they heard a voice from the doorway. "Alissa?" They both turned to see Dick standing there. Jayson backed up a bit, getting nervous. "Are you okay?" Dick said walking towards them. Jayson backed up more as Dick came over and hugged Alissa. "I'm fine, dad" Alissa said as she hugged him back. "I'm gonna go run some more laps if that's okay with you," I said. "Go ahead," he said. Alissa ran to go do another lap.

Alissa's p.o.v
When I finally decided I was done I whipped my forehead with the same towel and put on a random star labs sweater on. I walked around trying to find everybody until I found them all in the lounge standing in a circle. "Hey guys, what's going on?" I asked them. They turned to look at me and Barry held up Nora's journal. I understood right away. "Look, before you say anything..." I said before Barry cut me off. "How'd you get this?" He asked. "We lost this, in the crisis!" Iris said stepping in. "Nora gave it to me," I told them. "In the future. That's how we have been communicating," I told them. "You've been talking to her?" Iris asked. "I use gideon to get her the messages and journal entries," I explained to them. "You've been talking to her and didn't tell us?!" Berry said. I could tell that he was hurt. "Barry, wait," I said as he walked out of the room. "Iris I'm sorry," I said as Iris looked at me with hurt in her eyes before walking away.

As I was about to follow them dad stopped me. "Who is Nora?" He asked. "Their daughter," I replied, turning to face him.  "How do you know her?" Jayson asked. "We are best friends," I told them. I was about to go out of the room until dad stopped me. "Just give them some space, trust me," he told me. "Okay," I replied. "Oh, and by the way, I booked rooms for each of us at the sheraton hotel," I told them before I sped off in a flash of lightning. I ran all the way to the hotel. I checked in at the front desk then made my way up to my room.
