Chapter 5

You smiled at him. You could tell he was curious about what happened to you, but you could also see that he genuinely wanted to help.

"Okay so..." Mr. Wells stated. Those were the words that began a series of questions and tests on you. After 30 minutes of this, you were exhausted (mentally, physically and emotionally), and they were the ones doing all the work.

"Could you come to STAR labs with us, and stay there for a while?" Barry asked. You looked at Oliver nervously. "It would be a lot easier to do the tests and we would get better results. This might take a while to figure out." Oliver nodded his head just enough to know you would be fine. You sighed, trying to remain calm. You didn't think that you would have to leave town and go back towards what did this to you, and to be completely honest you didn't want to.

"Okay. " You looked at the ground then back up them. They all smiled at you encouragingly. You couldn't help but smile back.

*Time skip to STAR labs because I can*

Barry had been showing you around the lab for at least 5 minutes and you had no clue where anything was. You could hardly remember where the entrance was, everything looked the same. Your brain was shot from all the testing and questions. Eventually, you ended up in the main lab.

"Well, Barry, as fun as that was, I forgot where everything was," You said to him with a small smile. You both laughed lightly laughed, the tense air seemed to lighten up a bit. You both stood in the awkward silence that seemed to fill your life. You noticed something weird about the wall across from you in the lab. You began to walk over to it to look.

"What are you doing?" he asked, you were inches away from the wall.

"There's. . . something. . ." You started. You heard him take a few steps towards you. You placed your fingertips against the wall and slightly pushed into the wall. There was the sound of gas releasing and some fog lightly filled the room. You took half a step away from the wall and watched as the wall went away and was replaced with the Flash suit on a mannequin. You remember hearing about the Flash on the news while you were at Oliver's house. How he had appeared out of nowhere, saving the city from crime. You had no words. You were confused and overwhelmed with. . . everything. You turned back to Barry. "Anything to say about that?" You asked, a questioning eyebrow raised. He was silent, thinking about what to say. Stalling. Everyone walked into the lab and stopped. They too were silent. "Stop being weirdly silent," You said pausing for a second. "You have no explanation? Well, I have a hypothesis," You said acting all sciencey. "Someone here is the Flash. That or he is out now and won't be coming back till I'm gone." Everyone stayed silent. Oliver wasn't looking at you. "UGH," You loudly bellowed and walked, more like sped walked out of the room. You slightly slowed down as you walked down the long corridors. You were so. . . you couldn't distinguish your feelings anymore. All it was, was a big ball of emotion that felt like a raging fire. A few seconds later you stopped and leaned against the wall. You let your body become a rag doll as you slumped down on the ground. You didn't want this. All you wanted was to move to your new house and live a normal life only to be forgotten when you died. You heard footsteps coming. The weird thing was that it took a long time for the people making those footsteps to appear. When you looked up you saw Barry and Oliver walking towards you. Great.

"{Y/N}, we haven't been completely honest with you," Oliver said. "but we haven't lied to you either," he finished. You just stared at the ground.

"{Y/N}," Barry began. "we just wanted to. . . check on some things before we told you." You stayed silent and looking at the ground. "{Y/N}, I am the Flash."
