When she was just a girl
she expected the world
but it flew away from her reach
and the bullets catch in her teeth

--------Athena's P.O.V.
I ran.
I ran and I didn't stop. I didn't even know where I was but I didn't care.
I had to find Barry. I had to get to him before it was too late.
Before the explosion.

FLASHBACK
-----------------"Dad?" I crocked. I didn't even realize how dry my throat was until now.
"Pumpkin," he smiled while extending his arms out for me.
I hesitated for a moment but then ran into his arms. I don't know what came over me. I just felt like a little girl again running over to my dad that I hadn't seen in years. I completely forgot about the fact that he was the reason for that.
"I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry, sweetheart. I just I, when I lost your mother and sister I dove into my work and became crazy and I didn't want to see you because you just remind me of them so much. I'm just..." he explained but was cut off.
My fingers curled on his back at the sound of an ear piecing scream. I slowly backed away to look at his face in fear. It was one of the worst screams I've ever heard and trust me I'm gonna be hearing a lot of screaming in my future. It was full of desperation and panic.
"Oh my god what the hell was that?" I panicked looking back and forth between him and the source of the scream, upstairs.
He was also looking up but looked down at me with annoyance at my question.
"Well, I guess this was quick end to our little foreplay," he sighed slowly walking up to me. Each step he took I would take one back.
What was happening?
We kept walking like this until I hit a wall. I tried to grab anything in my reach for support.
"RUN!" the voice that screamed now yelled, "ATHENA, RUN!"
The voice sounded vaguely familiar but I didn't pay too much attention to that. I was more worried by the command. I immediately turned to run the other direction but in less than a second he grabbed my head and banged it against the wall. The last thing I saw was red lightning.
------------------
Hallucination
------------------I woke up and was sitting up against the same wall as before except everything was darker. My "dad" was gone.
