The Vibe's Siren

Chapter 8

My POV

"Very strange to be holding your autobiography, especially when you didn't write it. And it's not about you."

"Dr. Caitlin Snow, Cisco Ramon, Liz Harper, meet Dr. Harrison Wells...from Earth-2." Barry awkwardly introduced us as I slowly lowered my glasses and tilted my head.

"Hi." Cisco crossed his arms, eyebrows furrowed.

"Why are we even listening to him? How do we know he's not evil?" I asked, looking at Barry.

"Your eyes, Liz," Barry smirked as I rolled my eyes, looking in a mirror to see my eyes glowing brightly. I shrugged, pushing the glasses back up.

"He saved my life last night. The question is why. I'm guessing you didn't travel between dimensions just to meet the Flash?" Barry hypothesized as I watched Caitlin go to her lab to run some tests. My ears perked up at a word as I stepped forward, scowling as Cisco held me in his arms.

"I see you've already heard of Zoom." Earth-2 Wells starred in my direction.

"Yeah, Zoom has been sending meta-humans from your world through the breaches to fight Barry."

"You do realize that when I said I wanted a drink, I didn't mean a latte, right?" Cisco said as he, Barry, and I stood in line at Jitters.

"Should have been more specific, babe, you know me. Jitter's coffee keeps me calm." I grinned, pulling my sunglasses off as we stepped inside, and I looked around.

"Look, you got to give him a chance, okay? He's just a regular, normal guy from another universe." Barry offered, as I looked at Cisco.

"I never thought I'd miss time travel," Cisco grumbled.

"Time travel, huh?" A voice asked behind us, and I turned around to see a blonde woman smiling.

"Hey! Are you kidding?" Barry grinned as I raised my eyebrows.

"Is there a meta-human who can time travel?" She asked, as Barry and Cisco looked at each other.

"Time-no. Time travel's not real."

"Not so sure about that." Cisco said, as he looked over at me.

"Patty, you know Cisco Ramon, right?" Barry asked.

"Yeah, you're the scientific advisor on meta-humans to the CCPD, right?"

"Yeah, that's me."

"Hey Barr, did you hear I was right about King Shark?" Patty asked as Cisco looked impressed.

"King Shark? Nice name. I like her." Cisco grinned as my smile turned into a frown as I stood there quietly, letting the three of them chat.

"Yeah, yeah, King Shark almost ate the flash."

"Oh, Nah, I'm sure the Flash had it handled."

"Oh, no. I was there. I saw it all. Some hooded guy saved his life."

"Wait, and you're not, like, traumatized or anything?"

"I just watched a half man-half shark take on the fastest man alive." As the conversation faltered, I listened to Patty talk to Barry. It was clear she liked him. I sighed, slightly overwhelmed, and felt someone grab my hand and squeeze.

"Oh, Patty. This is my girlfriend, Liz. Liz Harper." Cisco said.

"Nice to meet you," I said, my mind semi out of focus as I slipped my glasses on, staring at the reflection, watching the glow fade.

"You alright?" Barry's voice shook me as I looked around. Patty was already gone as Cisco and Barry stared at me.

"Y-Yeah...just needed to hide my eyes. Don't need people knowing my alter-ego, do we, Barry Allen?" I mustered up a grin. As Cisco ordered my drink, not want anything for himself.
