Saving Her

T W E N T Y - S E V E N

When Bethany came to Barry was gone. She sighed sitting up when she noticed a note in Barry's neat handwriting next to her bed.

She smiled reading it.

Wish I could've stayed, but duty calls. Meet me for lunch at S.T.A.R. Labs
~Barry xx

After getting dressed Beth checked her phone for the time. Groaning she realized she had slept in until ten thirty and proceded to race out the door. Colliding with none other than Parker.

"Long time no see." He said smirking, but his eyes were shifty. Worried even.

"I can have the Flash here in seconds." Beth warned as she got up taking a few steps back to put some distance between them.

"He's not needed. I won't be long. I just wanted to let you know that I've been seeing some things around. There's someone new here. That kid you captured, well they replaced him." He shrugged not really looking at Bethany.

"And you're telling me this why?" She asked quirking an eyebrow at him.

"It's like you said. We have history together. I can be a douche most of the time Beth, but when it comes to those I care about...I try."

Bethany tensed when he went to pull something from his jacket. "Relax." He said smoothly pulling out a small bag. He opened it causing Beth's eyes widened.

"Are those?" She asked taking the small bag looking at the contents with amazement.

"The trial serums? Yes they are. I met up with the Doctor. Convinced him to trust me. When I heard about the break in I wondered why he would bother with something so trivial. Then I found these in a drawer labeled with your name."

Beth took them with wide eyes. "Why go so far?" She finally looked up at Parker who had his hands shoved in his pockets.

"I'm not a bad guy Beth. I just have some issues. See you around." Then he was walking away from her.

She wanted to call out to him, but knew that it would be better not to. She looked at the serums in her hand her fingers wrapping around them securely.

Bethany headed straight for S.T.A.R Labs. Hailing a taxi from outside her apartment building glancing around she quickly hopped in telling the driver to head to S.T.A.R Labs.

She tapped her foot nervously as the lab came into view. Handing the driver fifteen dollars she didn't even stay to get her change.

"Hey Bethany!" Cisco said as she walked into the cortex. "You gotta see this."

"Not now Cisco. Caitlin I need something analyzed." Bethany walked towards Dr. Snow as Beth showed her all seven of the trail serums she had managed to steal.

"What are they?" Caitlin asked raising an eyebrow as she lifted one out of the bag.

"That would be PsychA Second Trial. These two are PsychB first and third trial. I have three serums for PsychC third trial, and the last one would be PsychG first trial. Each labeled accordingly with tape. Cap still on means they haven't been tampered with. Those had all been injected into me."

"How did you-"

"Get them? Well I risked my ass getting them, but lost them for a time. Parker got them back for me."

"Parker? As in the Crystal Man Parker?"

Bethany turned around hearing the familiar voice of Barry Allen as he walked into the cortex.
