Sweet Sister | Barry Allen [ 1 ]

Chapter 14

Lana

I woke up moving my leg and not feeling much pain anymore. I knew that soon I would be able to walk freely without feeling any pain. I turned to where I usually kept my crutches and didn't see them there. I sat up in bed and saw them against the wall on the other side of the room.

"It's time to work on walking without help" josh says

I turn to see Josh sitting against the couch eating. Shade sat beside him on the arm rest staring at me also as if she was waiting for me to walk.

"I have been working on it" I say preparing myself to stand

"Show me then" he says smiling

I stood from the bed on both my feet. I felt a slight pain but it didn't bother me as it did before. I took a small step and walked to the other side of the room, never going to grab my crutches.

"Show off" josh says as I walk back to the other side "I think you just like the pain" he says throwing me a couch pillow

I grabbed the pillow before it could hit me and threw it back at him.

"I'm done with those" I say pointing at the crutches "I'm going to shower"

I turned the water on and stripped off my clothes. The warm water hit my back as I relaxed into it. I scrubbed my body and looked at the few scars I had. My fingers traced over the small scar I had on my left shoulder. I closed my eyes as I thought back to my first mission.

I could still remember the sound of all the gunshots that rang in the air. I could close my eyes and still see the way their bones hung out of their bodies. I had thought that our mission was over and let my guard down. Before I knew it one guard that appeared out of nowhere walked behind me and stabbed me. I had to get stitches as soon as we got back to the organization.

That was when I learned not to let my guard down. I learned that no matter if it seemed like it was over it never really was. After that day I knew it would be best to always be prepared and to look out for any signs that things were about to turn for the worse.

When I got out of the restroom I saw Josh sitting on the couch watching the news with Shade on his lap.

"Looks like the police station was just robbed yesterday by a meta human" josh says "Vandevoort diamonds have been recovered and now a ring was stolen right under their noses"

"The good old days" I say sitting next to him "It wasn't me" i say as i noticed him stare at me

"Good, I'd be hurt if you went out without your tech guy. How's your leg" he asks eyeing it and i knew he wanted to poke it

"Doing better actually" I say "I've got other things to worry about"

"Like?" Josh asks

"Caitlin's new love interest" I say "some guy named Jay Garrick"
