Flash of The Moment

Chapter 5 pt 2

I decided to ditch the dancing for the rest of the day and instead, started going through the database looking at past missions the team did before I came into the picture. There were so many and I was starting to feel intimidated. There was this one guy who could make multiple copies of himself and a woman who had an army of robotic bees. Another guy could change the weather and then this guy who didn't have any powers buy according to what I saw, gave Barry a run for his money. These people were really serious about doing bad for whatever reason. It was so many of them and just the two of us. How did Barry do this basically by himself for so long? I became worried. Tomorrow would begin my training and I was starting to have second thoughts about this. I went to bed that night with a knot in my stomach. How was I gonna pull this off?
----------------
I awoke that morning to sound of someone banging on my door.
"Wake up! Training starts in an hour!"yelled the rude and annoying voice through the door. I rolled my eyes and groaned turning over onto my stomach, digging my head into my pillows, with the hopes of drowning out the disturbance.
"I know you hear me! Get up or you'll be sorry!!" I rolled my eyes again, not moving an inch.
"You're forcing my hand here Ange!! I know you can here me!" The voice yelled louder accompanied with more banging. I sighed. I was not in the mood for moving. I was having a great dream about superman and all his beautifulness. I know it's not a word don't judge, I'm having a hard time thinking straight with him going through my mind.
He saved me and then took me to my favorite spot at my favorite beach. There were petals in the cove and fireflies lit up the sky. We hovered above the shimmering water under the moonlight. It was breathtaking.
"I have a surprise for you, beautiful."he said as he then carried me to the shore. My feet touched the soft sand and I raised my head to look into his eyes. He put his hand on the side of my face caressing my cheek while his other arm kept me close to him around my waist. I was on cloud nine right now.
"I'm giving you to the count of 5 to open this door or I'm coming in!"yelled the increasingly annoying voice.
My moment shattered, just as superman was about to kiss my lips, my eagerly waiting lips. I groaned and half cried as I rolled off the bed. I hit the floor with a thud and immediately I heard the voice ask if I as ok.
"I'm fine, just dropped my shirt!"
"That sounded a lot heavier than just a shirt."replied the voice.
"I was in it"I replied after a short pause. There was a laugh which made me assume there was no sympathy for me and my misery.
"Be in the main lab room in 10 please, we're gonna start your training."
I just sighed and went to the bathroom. Looking at myself in the mirror I noticed slight bags under my eyes. I wasn't eating as much as I used to, but no one would ever know. My high metabolism doesn't allow for me to gain much weight. Problem is I know I look thinner and sooner or later one of them will notice. I couldn't keep it all together. I bathed and shrugged on some sweats and a hoodie. I shoved my feet in my slippers and trudged my way out my room and down the hall towards the main room.
Why wasn't I eating? I couldn't stomach the possibility of failing everyone who believes in me.
It was very easy to say this is what I could do but it was a lot harder to actually get it done. I mean thinking back on all those files I ran through last night made me very aware of the fact that this wouldn't be easy at all.
I entered the room to find it empty. I was now very confused. I'm pretty sure Cisco said to meet him here. I looked around the room to exit but something caught my eye. In a flash I was tossed backwards but not before I shot a fireball from my right hand. It didn't actually hit the blur in full contact as I had hoped though. Just as fast as it was there, it was gone. I sat on the floor more confused than ever. Did Barry just attack me? It made no sense.
"Well that was quite interesting, I must say."came Dr Wells' voice from somewhere in the room. I searched around for it and honestly began to contemplate if I was going crazy. Was I dreaming? The sharp pain in my butt told me otherwise.
"If you're wondering where we are, that big glass window above you is where we are."came the voice again.
I looked up and saw no one.
"It's a one way glass so we can see you but you can't see us."he said. Just then Barry came through the door to my right.
"Damn girl,you burnt a hole in the sleeve of my arm and almost took my arm off with it too."
I stared dumbfounded at the suit,the evidence of my actions clear as day before me. There was a huge hole in the sleeve of his shirt, and a burn was then visible on his arm. The skin was red, sizzling and bleeding on his bicep.
"Ohmygosh!! I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to cut you." I touched his arm lightly observing how it seemed to heal quickly. Just as fast as it came, it disappeared. I jumped back startled at the rapid healing he possessed.
"Wow." Was all I could say.
"Was it recorded?" Dr Wells asked appearing in the door way. He made his way straight to the control panel pulling up the video feed. Dr Snow quickly followed, going through her usual task of making sure we were alright, physically wise.
"Everything seems to be in order. All vitals are stable as though nothing happened."she said looking over a screen with Barry's vitals put up next to mine.
"Ok then. This is interesting. In this case your fireball was effective but you need to work on awareness." Dr Wells announced although it seemed as though he was talking to himself instead. "We can work with this." He said finally after much thought.
"No! No I cannot work with this! I cannot work with her! Look at what she did to my suit!!"Cisco yelled barging through the door in a frenzy. I stood there unsure of what to do.
"It can easily be fixed." said Dr Snow rolling her eyes.
"I sew. I could fix it." I replied.
"Don't worry I have like two more." Barry said coming over to stand by me.
"One and a half but that's not the point!"yelled the Ramon boy from somewhere in the adjoining room. I looked to Dr Snow for help but she had already quit trying to reason with Cisco and went back to her analysis on the screen. Dr Wells had also disappeared mysteriously leaving me and Barry to stand there awkwardly.
"So."
"So."
"I guess today didn't turn out exactly how you'd hoped."
"Not really, I guess I was expecting a little more but I'm not exactly complaining either." I said turning to look for a sign of escape. Just then Dr Snow's phone went off.
"Hello? Oh yes. What? It's that time already? Ok ok I'm packing my bag, I'm coming. I'll be there. No I won't leave you hanging. I'm already out the door. Yes. Ok. I'll be there in like 10 minutes. Yes we'll get there on time. I'm hanging up now. Bye!"
With that she rose from her desk and rushed out the room only leaving us with a wave. I took that moment to check the time.
"Ah I think I'll go and visit Iris. So, guess I'll see ya around." I quickly turned and headed for my room to change out of my comfortable clothes. I really didn't want to be stuck there with him.
I saved one glance over my shoulder and found him scratching behind his neck. It was adorable to say the least but I was still uncomfortable around him. He sighed and turned on his heel to go and sit behind one of the computers. I headed to my room and searched for something that was comfortable enough to wear without looking like a complete slob. I switched into a pair of shorts and a tank top. I pulled my hair back into a ponytail and made sure the necklace my mom gave me was securely around my neck. With that I left the lab and went on my way to the cafe.

Ok ok ok I know y'all must be mad at me. I am in the process of writing and editing the next three chapters so I should have another one out by Christmas as my gift to you guys and then the next one by New Years. So once everything goes accepting to plan that should work out that way. Again thank you for your support and I love you guys. Xoxox Cherbear❤️❤️❤️
