What Life Has Given Me- The Flash

The Lavender Speedster Part 2

A lump filled my throat as I saw Barry fighting her with words, words that made her cry, words that were killing her. They started killing me as well. She slowly lowered Iris, Barry's scarlet red shoes lifted up off the ground and his hands gripped Iris. Her and I were left eye to eye, tears running down our face.

"You didn't mean to do it did you?"

"I would never."

"Why now?"

"Because if I changed the past, it would change me."

"I am trying to change you don't you trust me?"

"No." As those words left her mouth, it made everything around me tighten.

"I haft to do this."

"No you don't!"

"He will be alive if I do this!"

"Do what? Huh?!"

"I am going to take you back!"

"You don't know me. I will find a way."

She took a deep breath. My lungs filled with air as I prepared my self as well. She lunged at me, trying to inject more V9 into my system.

"Why the V9 huh?"

"So you become weak!"

My head started to throb. I threw her against the wall. She fell onto the cold hard wood floor, as breath left her mouth. She raised her hand, I felt my spine start to crack. She screamed in pain as well, her back started to break and shatter and go into millions of pieces. I couldn't feel my legs, as everything started to go black.

Two Weeks Later

I woke up to a throbbing pain. Caitlyn was right there by my side.

"I am so sorry."

Cisco and Barry dashed into the room.

"Where is she?"

"She disappeared slowly after breaking your back, because if you were broken now, she wouldn't be able to get here."

"That bitch."

My mind started to glitch making the wheel chair slowly move towards me.

"You shouldn't be moving." Caitlyn said with concern in her throat.

"I will get back to normal."

"How?"

I started to push the wheel chair away, making putting my feet on the ground. Slowly starting to use my mind, raising my body. Everyone's face was in shock, I grunted in pain as my ears and nose started to bleed. Wanting to cry I moved one leg slowly, making my mind throb more and more. All the sudden it stopped Barry catching me by my shoulders.

"You need to stop." He said as he put me in the wheel chair. Wheeling out of the room. Slowly wheeling down the hall. Hearing foot steps approach me, I made my body stand. Looking back to find them.

"Tessa!" Giving them a cold dead stair, I picked up my feet, making them move faster and faster. Looking behind me to find sparks flying around my body. Feeling the wind from the city streets hit my face, and wipe away the blood coming from my eyes. Stopping at the ocean shore, brushing my hands against the water. Making eye contact with my reflection, noticing the purple eyes starting to grow strong on my face, but to see Barry over my shoulder. I came to my feet, hearing a high pitched noise in my ears. Backing away from Barry shaking my head to tell him to stay back. Stepping to the water made my shoes wet and soggy. But coming to realize I can levitate on the water. Floating above the moisture and the water droplets touch my skin. Taking notice to Cisco and Caitlyn driving down the road.

"Please come back. You know you can trust us."

"I can't trust my self."

Barry's face filled with disbelief and sadness at the same time. Backing up slowly, hoping they wouldn't try to follow. I started to break away from them. Cop cars started to approach, with Joe and Iris preparing to step out. Turning around quickly, and running across the water. The ringing grew stronger and stronger, starting to make my head throb. Slowly crashing and falling into the water, feeling the water around me, just being able to move my arms to tread water. Reaching the surface, and gasping air.

Looking in the reflection of the water, seeing a bright light behind me. Cisco appearing with his hand out. Grabbing it helping him pull me into the portal that was created. Caitlyn jumping out of the car with a heat blanket. Wrapping it around me, seeing Barry looking at me.

"Why run?" Barry said approaching me.

"Why? Why?!" Anger filled eyes and voice.

"I have been almost killed twice! I met the person and I am supposed to be, but I am trying my hardest not to be her." Taking a break for air.

"It doesn't even help that I am now disabled, and looking into that lake just went to prove that I am going to be the person I hate the most."

"What?"

"You don't get it do you?! I looked into that water seeing I was becoming her. She's a killer!"

"Who did she kill?!"

"You dammit! She accidentally killed you! Now she is filled with hate and anger and that she is trying to stop the one person that can change all of that from happening!"

"I am tired of running, I just want things the way there supposed to be!" He didn't say anything, no one did. I just climbed inside the van. We just drove back to the S.T.A.R labs, not saying anything. I headed to grab my things, throwing them in the small bag I had. Turning towards the door way, passing Barry.

"What are you doing?"

"I never asked for any of this."
