Chasing Lightning (Barry Allen)

11-Steals my face

Life doesn't start when you're born. It starts when you realize that life is made to consume our vain souls, because, in one way or another, we're all lost in this dark world.

It took me an extremely long time to take my decision since I've never been a decision maker. Finally, I choose to embrace my problems, by problems I meant Harrison Wells.

"Dr. Wells, may I have a word with you?" I asked.

He looked at me with shocked eyes, but I could see the cold in them. Even though he was trying to act like a father, this man is not and would never be my father.

"Yeah, sure Hestia" He affirmed forcing a smile.

"I don't know what to say, I thought and thought about this whole thing and I know that you're not my father, so let's just pretend I am not your daughter and don't make it any harder for us, cause, you know that I am not here for you, but, for Barry" I talked.

He nodded in response "I can't do that Hestia, you're my daughter"

"I am not, and you know that my real parents died in a car accident. Look Dr. Wells, you're hiding something and I'll make sure that thing will be revealed to everyone." I responded.

His features changed as a cold expression appeared on his face. He leaned on his wheelchair like he was going to stand up when suddenly, Barry stormed in.

"Oh, thanks God" He whispered and hugged me "I thought you were with Eddie"

"Barry stop acting like I am fragile glass and if you're not around me I would break. I can protect myself." I said. "But, what about Eddie? What happened to him?"

"He's in jail." He affirmed "There's a meta-human who can copy others' faces, he killed two cops in the body of Eddie"

"Barry I've found the problem" I heard Caitlin's voice "I analyzed- Oh hey Tia, long time no see"

"Caitlin" I greeted her with a slight smile.

"Have you heard from Cisco?" Dr. Wells asked. A random thought: I hate that man and I want to smash his head.

"Umm, No- He has to help Dante, his brother. He might take a few days off." Caitlin responded.

Let me explain the state, Cisco has left with Joe to Barry's old town, hoping to find any proof or detail from the night Nora Allen, Barry's mom, was murdered.

I went with Barry to his lab at the CCPD, he need to work on the evidence of Eddie's incident but more likely to avoid Wells.

"Hmmm" He hummed.

"What?" I asked

"I know you told me not to say it, but, Tia, After all, Wells is your father. You should at least admit it." He affirmed.

"How many times do I have to tell you that man is not my father? My father is in the reverse flash's hands and only God knows if he's alive or not. And, you know, that the letter says, my real parents died in a car accident. I think that the reverse flash and Dr. Wells are planning on doing something, and I am a part of that plan." I replied

Barry approached and put a soft kiss on my cheek "I promise, we'll find Jarrod and we'll bring him back alive"

I smiled in return and hugged him. Silence covered the lab and he broke it when he said "I remember the night my mother was killed by the reverse flash, and surprisingly it doesn't hurt more than all the nights I spent after that night, I felt so lonely and I thought that if I could have her back for one night I would give anything I have. But, apparently, everything I have is not enough to see her again. What kept me happy is her memory. That man stole many things from me, enough things to make me hate him and I won't let him take more, I'm afraid Tia, I can't let him touch you or Joe or Iris-"
