Seeing my life pass before my eyes. The shot hitting my chest, the fight with the girls, Barry yelling, I could see my mother, she held me tight. The sound of my best friend laughing. I didn't want to let go. That's when I felt a shock.

One shock.
Two shocks.
Three shocks.
Four shocks.

I gasped for air, seeing Caitlin, my Caitlin, the Caitlin from 2017. She was pulling out a bullet from my side. But she was starting the fade, hearing Barry's  voice.

"Stay with us."

I felt a needle be shoved in my arm, knowing it was an IV bag. The room started to fade to a faint beeping noise. The heart monitor.

Starting to come to, hearing Iris scream for Cisco.

"She's awake!"

Trying to move but it hurt so badly.

"Don't move, we haven't got the chemicals out of your system yet."

"Is everyone okay?"

"Yeah, they're fine."

"How did it happen?"

"I shouldn't say.... How did I get here?"

"The Future Barry brought you. He didn't have the records of you anymore so they forgot your blood type. You died, but now you're back."

"How long was I gone?"

I looked up to see Cisco walking towards me.

"I gave Barry the note."

My facial expression started to change. Seeing Barry stand weak.

"Why would you lie?"

"I had to."

"What's your real name?" I tried not to say it but I knew I would've lost trust if I didn't.

"Dawn, Dawn Allen."

I had to choke it out, it hurt so badly.

"If you knew I hated lies so much why would you do it?"

"I much rather lie to you then lose you. When you were a kid you didn't have what I have, I just knew you would've saved your mother if you could run like you do now."

The room went silent, moments passed. Caitlin took my blood and ran tests.

"You're blood is back to normal."

Caitlin said, so I started to sit up.

"Couldn't you have trusted me?" Barry said with confusion.

"I knew you would've tried to stop me. I can't watch my mother suffer and cry for her husband anymore, okay? I just can't. Besides I'm breathing now and you're alive, I don't need to be here anymore."

I came to my feet.

"Are you paralyzed even?"

"No, I heal fast." I took a breath.

"If I didn't I probably wouldn't have been able to save you. Wait why did he leave?"

"He dropped you off, he had to make sure everything was okay."

"Should be, the Lavender Speedster's dead."

"Wait Caitlin did you know she was like me?"

Barry said looking at Caitlin with confusion.

"I knew she had a reason, but yes I did know, but she has Iris's blood to so it was hard to tell."

Barry was silent. I could feel the intensity in the room. A bang and a flash of light came into the hall. I jerked towards the sound, all of us ran to the hall, preparing are selves for the worst. I saw him laying there, my brother.
