I honestly didnt know how to start this. I wanted a clear description and I figured I could only do that by switching POVS. I won't do this often

Barry's Pov:
I can't say I felt completely safe with another human in STAR Labs, but to my surprise Dr. Wells was pretty intrigued with this mysterious hooded stranger knocking on our front door. It definitely didn't curb my anxiety when I was able to get a good look at her. She wore dark blue skinny jeans and knee length black combat boots. A black worn hoodie protected her face from our view, only letting a few pieces of soft brown hair escape from the sides of the black cloth. Her hands were stuffed into the front pockets of her jeans. When she spoke her voice was smooth and quiet, running over the words she said to Dr. Wells as if it was butter.
I watched as the girl's body language went rigid when she came to the reason why she had come here.
"Dr. Wells, I came to you tonight to tell you I believe your particle accelerator impacted me." From the corner of my eye, I watched Dr. Wells lean towards the girl, curiosity flashing through his eyes.
"Let me show you." The girl lifted her hands to her hood quickly. She hesitated slightly, before pulling back the black hood. What I saw next was absolutely astounding.
The girl had shoulder length chocolate brown hair. Faint stripes of blonde ran through her side bangs. Her face was delicately framed. She had slightly high cheek bones with a couple stray freckles dotted under her eyes. Her eyes. They were a striking topaz color that almost glowed in the dim lights of the room. However, her eyes are not what got my attention. It was the top of her head. Two bronze colored wolf ears protruded from her crown. They flicked around at every little noise the computers that surrounded us made.
I looked at Dr. Wells. His face showed excitement and wonder. Caitlin was staring in shock. I could almost hear her thoughts. "Another meta-human? Great." Cisco, however, looked ecstatic. In fact, he was the first to speak.
"That is awesome." Cisco said in awe. The girl looked surprised, light blush dusted her cheeks. "R-really?" I leaned back in surprise. Two white fangs gleamed in the light as she spoke. Her eyes darted to me, the two wolf ears flattening slightly at my change in posture.
"Are you kidding? This is amazing! Dr. Wells, we haven't seen any half human half animal metas yet! This is amazing." Cisco rambled on, causing the girl to looked confused.
"Metas?" Dr. Wells wheeled forwards. "What Mr. Ramon means is that we have seen impossible being such as yourself. However, yours is a little more unique."
The girl blushed a little more not used to being complimented.
" I can tell you how everything happened, however, it is a long story." She warned. Dr. Wells nodded. "We have time. Come and follow us, Miss..."
"Raymonds. Jean Raymonds." The girl stepped a little more forward.
"Jean Raymonds." Dr. Wells echoed, spinning his chair around to lead us towards the elevator. We rode in uncomfortable silence until finally the metal doors opened to reveal the lab I have spent the past couple months in.
"So Ms. Raymonds, why don't you start from the beginning."
Jean's Pov:
Dr. Wells asked. I nodded, smoothing my hair back and scratching behind one of my ears. "Well, it started with the night the particle accelerator exploded. I was up on the roof of my... friend's apartment complex. My friend was a huge fan of yours and when he heard about you're experiment with the particle accelerator, well he went insane. I ended up on the roof with him and my dog Lilo to watch the accelerator turn on. I don't remember exactly when it went off all I do remember was watching the sky glow up, and I don't know it sort of pulsed. Anyways, the pulse or whatever hit all of us. I flew back on the roof and after that, well, it all went black. I woke up the next morning still on the roof. Vi- my friend wasn't as lucky as I was. He was thrown five stories down from the building, dead on impact." I winced. "From there, I noticed my changes. The ears, my eye color, the claws," I willed the black, sharp nails to grow from my fingers, waving them dangerously in the air. Cisco looked astounded at me. "My fangs grew in a couple days later along with the tail..."
"Tail?!" Cisco and his two other colleagues shouted in surprised. I felt my ears flatten to my head at the sudden noise. The group noticed and composed themselves, well except Cisco.
"Where is it?!" My cheeks burned at the question. For some reason that sounded more weird out loud. "Under my hoodie?"
"Can I-" The boy next to him slapped his hand over Cisco's mouth. I looked at him and gave him a smile of gratitude.
"Um, as I was saying. After the whole transformation thing, I've been living all over town. I tried to go home, but my parents actually tried calling the police. I figured maybe you had some answers since I've seen the police reports about these "metas" and now I'm here." I cursed silently at the informality of my little speech.
Dr. Wells looked at me, taking in all the information. "Ms. Raymonds, what you're brought to us is very unique and I do believe you can learn more about your transformation if you stay with us here. My question to you is, would you be willing to stay here at STAR Labs to not only find out your skills, but also to help find more metas like yourself?"
"I-" I started.
"Um, Dr. Wells, can I speak to you for a moment?" The girl behind his asked.
"Of course." Dr. Wells said still looking at me. I nodded once as he turned to his colleague. Sadly, I think the both of them forgot I had heightened hearing.
"I don't trust her." Ouch. "Caitlin, this could be another chance to learn more about metas, to get a new perspective."
"But Dr.Wells,-" Cisco cleared his throat, distracting me from my eaves dropping.
I looked at him and gave him a sheepish smile. He smiled back and extended his hand. "I'm Cisco, it's going to be awesome working with you." I laughed and shook his hand. "And it's a honor working with you Mr.Ramon." His smile widened.
The boy next to him stepped forward. "Barry Allen, I'm kinda new to all of this as well." I took his hand gently and offered him a fanged smile. His eyes widened but his politeness never waivered.
"You're a meta." I stated obviously. Cisco and Barry looked at me in surprised. "How did you know that?" Barry asked. I shrugged. "I don't know, I guess metas smell a little differently than humans." I said in embarrassment.
Cisco shook his head. "You're probably the most amazing Meta I have seen all year." Barry glared at him, playfully. Cisco flushed. "Uh, well except for you man." He patted Barry's shoulder. I smiled.
"You haven't even seen the best part." I said, reaching for the bottom of my hoodie. I pulled the back of it up, uncurling my tail from the restricting fabric.
Cisco laughed in amazement and walked around me, getting a closer look at my tail, nails, fangs, and ears. Barry followed.
"Not to be weird, but can I..." Cisco trailed off. I smiled. "Sure." He reached up and ran his hand over my ears. I stopped myself from tensing, and instead savored the real human touch I haven't felt in a very long time.
"They're surprisingly soft." Cisco remarked. I grinned.
"Curtisy of Dr. Wells himself. Though, it's not really anything to complain about. I like the advanced sight, hearing, and smell." Cisco went to reply, however, Dr. Wells interrupted him.
"It's been settled Ms. Raymonds. You are now officially part of our team." His eyes gleamed with excitement.
"Thank you Dr.Wells, you won't be disappointed." I replied. He nodded slightly.
"You're training starts tomorrow. Meet here at noon." I nodded, and turned to leave.
"Oh and Miss. Raymonds." I turned back.
"I would wear something a little more flexible. Training with Cisco and I can be a little rigorous." I smirked.
"Dr. Wells, I think I might be able to handle it." With that, I turned and began the long trip home.
