Present

I have discovered all my powers and, for two weeks now, I help everyone who is in need.

Today, I am going to hunt Black Siren, because for a while now, nobody can stop her. She is from a different earth, but I don't know who she is, since she is wearing a mask. She tried to escape, but I appeared in front of her.

BS (Black Siren): Get out of my way.

Me: The tone of your voice is very annoying.

I replied and when she was about to speak, I immobilized her vocal cords and she couldn't be heard. Then she attacked me. We started fighting. At some point, we fell to the ground, and she was on top of me. I put my hand on the ground and pulsed, until she fell down. After that, I climbed on top of her and she pushed me. We got up and I gave her voice back. She cried, and so did I. I easily won and she fell back down. At that moment, Flash arrived.

BS: For someone who runs fast, you showed up late. At least, you are on time to catch her. We worked together, but couldn't share and turned against me.

Then Flash turned towards me.

Me: She's lying, so that you turn your attention to me, and she can get away; which she just did. For a hero, you aren't that smart. Now I have to catch her before she hurts more innocent people.

I was about to leave when he stopped me.

Flash: How do I know that you aren't working with her and you're doing this to trick me?

Me: If you want to be sure, come tomorrow at "Angel" at 21:00.

I left and went searching for Black Siren, but I couldn't find her. I tried to locate her from the sound of her voice, but I couldn't do it, so I went home. I informed Luke and went to bed.

The next morning, I was rehearsing my songs and in the evening I went to the shop. I helped Luke get everything ready. I got ready and went on stage.

As I was singing my first song, I saw a new face come inside. I knew it was a new customer, because every time someone comes to the shop, they stay. On my first break, I went to talk to him.

Me: You're new around here.

??: Yes, how do you know?

Me: Because everyone who comes decides to stay.

??: I can see why. Last night someone suggested that I come here.

Me: I think I am that someone.

??: I am Barry Allen.

Me: I am Vanessa.

B (Barry Allen): You have a sweet voice. –he said and smiled.

Me: You have a nice smile. I could look at it for hours.

B: Just like I could hear you sing for hours.

I smiled at him.

B: Let's make an agreement. You will sing for me and I will smile for you.

Me: That's a good deal.

We laughed. Then he looked serious.

B: I have a team that operates from S.T.A.R. Labs and we protect the city. There is an empty slot, if you would like to join us?

Me: I don't know, I'm not a team player, I will cause problems.

B: Think about it and then give me your answer.

My break was over and I went back on stage. On my next break I talked to Luke. I told him everything Barry and I talked about.

L: I wound feel better if you were part of a team, you would have backup and you would be safer. And I would be less stressed, because every time that you go out there alone, I am terrified.

I ended my shift, changed and we closed. I looked for Barry, but couldn't find him and, suddenly, he appeared in front of me.

Me: Yes, I want to join your team.

B: I will pick you up tomorrow at 10:00.

He got me home, to see where I live and he left.

In the morning, I got ready and went outside to wait for him. He arrived at 10 sharp. We turned in an alley, so that we wouldn't be seen, and then with his speed we arrived at the lab. We were there within seconds.

B: Guys, let me introduce you to Vanessa. She is the newest member of our team. This is Cisco, Caitlin, Ronnie, Harry, Ralph and Iris.

C (Caitlin Snow): (Suddenly she changed form and talked) I'm glad to see that there'll be another girl who can fight on the team. I was the only one until now. My name's Killer Frost. And Caitlin says welcome.

R (Ronnie Raymond): Nice to meet you. I am Caitlin's fiancée. (He changed form and spoke again.) And I am Fireblast. I am Frost's fiancée.

K (Killer Frost): You wish, I haven't said yes yet.

H (Harry Wells): And I am the smartest here.

Ra (Ralph Dibny): And I thought that I was the best looking in here, but you just stole my title.

Me: I don't think so; someone else is the most handsome here.

I (Iris West): Welcome. My power is journalism.

Ci (Cisco Ramon): Barry, how come you brought her here? How can we trust her?

B: She trusted me with her identity first.

After the introductions, the questions began.

Ra: What are your powers?

Me: Everything that is related to sound.

Ra: Meaning?

Me: I can understand and speak in every human language, and I can communicate with animals. I can hear someone from miles away. I can make someone lose their voice or their hearing.

Ci: That could be useful with Harry sometimes.

Me: I can change my voice; I can make cries and many more.

C: We could test some of your abilities and run some trials to find your limits.

We headed at an outdoors area and they told me to make a cry ad loud as I could. They put on earplugs and I started. At some point, they told me to stop.

Me: How did I do?

C: I don't know... you passed over the machine's limit.

They tested my martial abilities as well. I practiced with Ralph. When we stopped, was already late.

B: Well, you are officially a member of our team.

The minute Barry finished his sentence, the bell went off. That means the town is in danger. We put on our uniforms and left.
