Earth-2 Harrison "Harry" Wells x Reader One Shots (The Flash)

Across the Universes (T)

Summary: In a world where you are a mutant recruiting students for Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters, an unexpected turn finds you in a whole other universe...

~

This boy is unstable.

You hated it when they were unstable, but it was apart of your job. Charles expected you and the others to follow through. Recruitments for his school mean everything to him. Saving these kids from society and themselves rested on your colleague's shoulders. Bless him and his grand altruistic schemes.

You give a side glance to Raven, and then to Hank, your teammates and fellow mutants. Together, you all should be able to calm the poor mutant preteen, but he's proving to be quite the problem. He doesn't even register the words safe and school and others like you when you try to coax him. The boy clutches the sides of his head and shakes it, his brown hair swishing back and forth in front of his face.

Is he gonna blow? What even are the extent of his powers?

Hank takes a step toward him with an extended hand. The boy looks up, but this time with eyes glowing a pale yellow colour.

In an instant, he's gone. Disappeared. The sound of his house's door slams from directly behind you.

Out of anyone here, you really should have seen that coming.

"Little bastard," Raven mutters as the three of you burst out the door and scan the quaint neighbourhood.

"Let's split up," you suggest. "We'll cover more ground." They nod in agreement.

You scour the scarily perfect-looking street of houses. Nothing out of place, nothing unusual... Except for maybe that crying shrub?

Not exactly sure how to approach the kid, you decide to slowly sneak up to the bush, fearing that if he hears you coming, he'll vanish again. As you round the shrub, the boy is crouched down with his head between his knees and sniffling. You want to comfort him, tell him everything is going to be okay. Especially under the guidance of Charles. When your hand comes in contact with his shoulder, he lets out a chilling scream and his eyes glow brightly again. There's a distressing feeling in the pit of your stomach.

Like your world is being turned upside down.

It takes everything you have to keep yourself from falling over, but somehow you manage to stay upright.

A new voice sneaks up on you. "Are you alright?"

"Yes, I'm fine-" you finally lose your balance and stumble, but this masked man in red is exceptionally quick to stop you from hitting the ground. Wherever that kid brought you, it has seriously done a number on your coordination. Speaking of which, where is the kid? Where are you?

"Have you seen a preteen boy with glowing eyes and totally losing his mind?" you ask desperately.

"Uhh, no, sorry," he says. "I think I would have known about someone like that running around Central City."

Hmm...

"Listen, I need to find this child. It's very important. Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters is the only place he'll be safe enough to discover the depths of his powers-"

"-School for what now? Kids with powers? You mean like a metahuman school?"

"What the hell is a metahuman? The kids are mutants." The man in red stares at you with a blank look like he isn't following any of this.
