Running on Water: The Flash

chapter 36

I stood there, shocked of what had happened. The precinct had almost blown up. Magi and Wally are missing. And the facial recognition says that Magi died, 7 years ago. I didn't know what to do, I was speechless. No not speechless, lifeless. I was in shock, and the kind of shock that rocks your whole form of being. Its like you can't exist now that you've heard the news, its so terrible, you don't want to exist. I was being overwhelmed by emotion, 'huh, freeze was underwhelmed, twister is overwhlemed, why isn't anyone just.... whlemed.' I thought to myself. I remember Magi used to love watching Young Justice on Saturday mornings, her favorite character was Wally, mine was Dick. He always had something witty to say.

"Liz?" I could here someone say my name, but it sounded distant. Like I was in a cave and someone was calling my name to come out. "Liz?" It grew louder and my memory of Magi started to fade. "Liz?!" The voice was now at its loudest volume and I could feel someone shaking me by the shoulders as if trying to wake me up. "Liz?! Are you ok?" I shot out of my daze and I could see I was kneeling on the ground. I looked up to see Barry holding my shoulders trying to get my attention. When I finally realized what was going on I shot up and looked everywhere to see where I was. 'Star Labs, I'm at Star Labs.' I said to myself. "Liz are you okay?" Barry asked. I looked up at him, "uh, um, uh, y-uh, ya, just um, just- you know, trying to take it all in." I said unable to think straight.

"Hey guys, whats going on?" I heard someone say, I looked towards the door and almost lost it. "Oh my gød, you're- what, what?" My shock turned to relief, then it turned to anger. "What the hell?! Where have you been?! Where is Wally?!" I said my eyes turning blue. "Liz calm down." Barry said trying to hold me back from attacking Magi. It didn't work though, I pushed him back with water and he slid across the room. "Whoa, whoa Liz calm down, its only Magi." Cisco said trying to get me to calm down, but staying out of my way. "You disappeared, again! And you didn't get the bomb out of the precinct and when we found it it only had five minutes. If Barry and I hadn't found it, the precinct would have blown up. With me and Barry in it. And Joe. And Eddy and everyone who helps keep this city safe!" I walked closer to Magi as she walked backwards. She bumped the wall and she had nowhere to go. "Liz? Liz, what are you doing?" Magi said really scared. "Something I should have done a long time ago." I grabbed her by the throat and lifted her up off the ground a couple inches. "Please, Liz. We-we're sis-sisters." she said trying to loosen the grip of my hands around her neck.

"You were never my sister." I was rushed by a gust of wind and suddenly I was in one of the cells in the pipeline. I turned around to look through the glass and saw Barry holding his shoulder moving it up and down. "Are you crazy?! Why would you do that to Magi?" Barry said with shock in his eyes. "That wasn't Magi." I said in a calmer tone. "What are you talking about? Of course thats Magi, who else could it be?" "A clone." I said standing straight and looking at Barry straight in the eye. By the way his facial expression changed, I knew he saw I was telling the truth. He walked over to the control panel and let me out. I stepped out and I got an evil look on my face. My eyes turned blue and I pinned him against the wall with water. "Sorry sweetie, but I have a job to do." I said knocking him into a cell and shutting it. "Liz, what are you doing?!" Barry said pounding his fists against the glass. "Liz!" I turned around on my heels and looked at him with an evil face. "I'm not Liz sweetie, I'm Delilah, the water bender you caught a couple weeks ago." "Thats impossible, Liz put you in the pipeline!" Barry said still hitting the glass. "Oh its not that impossible, its quite easy actually." Delilah said with a smirk. "Oh ya and hows that?" "Oh why teleportation of course." she said like a snobby pincess. "Thats impossible, you're a water bender." "Oh I'm not a water bender, I kind of never was. I'm a special kind of meta-human, you want to know my secret?" 'Maybe if I get a running start, even a small one I could vibrate through the glass.' Barry thought. "I can absorb the powers of any meta-human, I don't even need to touch them. I just need to be within ten feet of them and their powers our mine." Delilah said turning around and walking out. Barry ran and tried to vibrate through the glass cell, but just hit the wall face first. "Oh don't even bother Barry, the cells are modified to your specific ability." Delilah said turning the courner.

Delilah walked into the cortex with fire balls in each hand. "Why would she do that?" Caitlin asked as she was cleaning Magi's cuts. "I don't know, I've never seen her that way." Magi said. "Oh and you never will sweetie, 'cause I'm the last thing you're ever going to see." Delilah said throwing the fire balls at Magi. She put her hands up in defense and stopped the fire. "Ugh, hate it when the people I have to get rid of have the same power as I do." she said teleporting behind Magi and putting her in a choke hold. Caitlin let out a gasp and moved backwards, "Liz what are you doing?!" "Ugh, hate it when you people call me Liz. I'm. Not. Liz. I'm Delilah, for peets sake. Is it really that hard?" Delilah said loosening her grip around Magi, but not letting her go. "How are you not Liz, you look just like the Liz I met months ago." Caitlin said, fear in her voice. "Riiiight, Hannibal's power." she dropping her head slightly. She lifted it back up and she shifted from Liz into the real Delilah. Thin, average hight, dark brown hair, dark brown eyes and tan skin. "Let me introduce myself, Delilah Thawne."
