Feeling sick to my stomach. Saying such things to Barry, and leaving. Having to find a new home has been the hardest part. So far I have been staying at the homeless shelter. Feeling alone, and the only place I feel natural in is school, even though that has been hell.

Grabbing my bag and heading out the homeless shelter but having some shower items for the school showers. Starting to walk, fearing everything.

As I headed into the school heading for the locker room showers. I finished cleaning my body and headed for class.

One, two classes down when I hear my name over the intercom, heading to the attendance office but only to be stopped. Six girls surrounded me.

"Not today guys."

"Scared much?"

"No I am just tired of having to see all you're ugly faces." Trying to shove my way past them, but suddenly being shoved to the ground.

"Don't say that."

"Sorry for saying the truth." Seeing out of the the corner of my eye, one of the girls about to kick me hard. But jumping up and shoving her towards the ground. Turning around seeing one of the girls about to punch me, but I grabbed her fist. Kicking her in the knee, as she screamed in pain. Suddenly I heard a shout, looking up to find Barry. I ran and headed for the bathroom, washing off my face to find my eyes were a deep purple, and tips of my hair going a lavender color. Punching the mirror, then screaming in pain as glass shards speared my hand.

Picking out the pieces and rapping my hand with toilet paper. As I was leaving the bathroom and opening the door to find Barry. His face was filled with anger. Walking around him, but he grabbed my bag handle. Slipping my arm out of it and dashing outside, but to crash at the foot ball field. Seeing the streak of yellow, as Barry stopped right in front of me.

"Why?"

"I am tired of all the shit." Bringing my self to my feet.

"What has been going on?" I sat on the bleachers and he followed.

"They're jerks that's all." Feeling the silence for just a few moments but it being broken.

"What happened to your hand?"

"Punched a mirror." I said quickly. Silence filled the air.

"You're hair and eyes are purple."

Giving him an annoyed look, knowing what it already was.

"No duh." He laughed.

"Why are you here?"

"This was one of the places we were looking for you."

"Kinda obvious."

"Yeah I know, but we need to get you back to S.T.A.R labs."

"Fine, but if I need to leave I leave. No searching for me."

"Fine. Can you even run?"

"Yeah, you just saw me run."

"I mean like back to the lab."

"I don't know?"

Standing up from the bleachers, so did Barry. Dashing out of there was a relief.

Running into the bright laboratory. Caitlyn ran up to me.

"We need to get that hand stitched up."

As she sat me down on the bed she pulled out a needle, becoming prepared to stitch my hand. As she stuck the thread into the needle hole, I was picking out the small shards of glass. Wanting to scream but staying strong and quiet was hard but possible. She put on gloves. Caitlyn got out the rest of the glass, then stitching my cuts.

As she finished up, Cisco walked into the room. Telling Barry he had a case. Caitlyn had me stay back. Barry running out with his scarlet red suit on, and Cisco ran to the computers to check Barry's location and to instruct him. Getting up and walking to see Ciscos how Barry was doing. Taking notice that Barry was about to run into something huge, he wouldn't get there fast enough. Taking the mic away from Cisco.

"Barry, you're not going to get there in time."

"What are you doing?" Cisco said to me.

"Look the calculations are off, you typed in 3.15 not 3.14, that's not pie."

"She right, he won't get there in time."

"Barry, run up the building."

"Okay."

Wally started to appear on the map behind Barry.

"How bad is it?"

"I don't know, I can't see it."

"Caitlyn?" Cisco said with nerve in his voice.

"No." She gave him a dead stair. Coming to my feet, dashing towards my suit and putting it on. But dashing away. Approaching Barry, and Wally, we were next the Ocean.

"What are we going to do?"

"I have a plan. It will only work for a small moment, but it will work."

"Kinda stupid that you're talking about it possibly right in front of the meta."

Glaring at Wally after those words left his mouth. Lifting up a small bit of water. It covering a small portion of us. Dropping the water upon us all revealing, the woman.

"Now!"

Seeing lightening strike the sky, Barry dodging each hit.

"She's made out of water, that's why she's invisible! Follow the little reflection she has!"

Looking up to see a lightening bolt about to strike me. Holding my hands high above my head, stopping it mid air. Wally creating a small wind tunnel gathering the water making it so she is shown. Barry throwing hits, but she dodged each one. Lightening struck, hitting Barry and I, Wally running to get help. Lying there dead, was Barry.

Grabbing the plate on my chest that dodged the hit leaving it some charge. Gasping for air, barely able to lean over and rip off Barry's lightening bolt that was fried, replacing it with mine. Pressing the mic, turning it on.

"Cisco, use it to save Barry not me."

"What about you?"

"I'll be fine. Please just do it."

"Okay."

Looking at Barry, one shock, nothing, two shock, nothing, my eyes went black, to the smell of burnt leather.
