A week had gone by... my muscles had grown in size almost making me as strong as Alfred.

Caitlin was a wonderful women, and I had learned a whole lot from her. Years of having absolute no influence from another woman.

tests had been made, and all proved to have made me incredibly fast... but I hadn't used it for anything that wasn't for making sure I was in perfect health.

"Come on Sarah" Barry yelled at me from the outside of the test room where a walking machine was, but it was no ordinary machine... I could speed up for more than 100 km/h.

"Alright, that's enough, Barry said as he crossed his arms and waved for me to come off. I did as I was told and exited the room, where Caitlin knelt down at my height.

"Alright Sarah. I don't want you to be scared ok? you're going to go back home tomorrow and you can do whatever you'd like for today, is that ok with you?" she asked me with the sweet smile she always displayed.

"It's such a pity, I loved working with you Cate" I told her. " perhaps we can take the whole crew out to dinner, and perhaps I can meet Iris as well?"I asked, looking up at Barry. he smiled widely.

"We're getting married soon... How about you being the flower girl?" he asked me. i froze.

"Flower girl? what am I, five?" I told him sarcastically. he ruffled my hair, and I almost immediately tried fixing it. "Of course I'd be your flower girl, Allen" I told him, crossing my arms across my chest like he usually did.

just in time, Cisco appeared around the corner with a worried expression. "Barry, it's Iris!" I watched Allen's face drain from color.

Electricity was running around his body and his eyes seemed to fill with the same energy. I watched him start running, but it was no ordinary run, because I sped up as well, trying to stop him. We were head to head, running. I followed him to the main lab and saw how the suit I had admired for several hours a day, had completely vanished and in seconds, the crew was beside me.

"Come on Sarah!" Caitlin said, grabbing my upper arm and pulling slightly. I twisted my arm quickly and pushed her away.

"You didn't tell me Barry was like me!" I screamed.

"It's complicated, sweetie" she said in her usual calm voice.

"No!" I screamed and started running, in the direction Barry had gone off to.

I felt my whole body ache with no apparent reason. I stopped and gasped for air.

"Sarah?" I heard a voice. Probably just my head. "Sarah?!" There it was again! "A speaker is on your shirt. I need you to come back into the lab, you're about two miles away, but you have just ran straight" i heard ciscos voice. I looked around. Big city!

"No!" I said. Silence.

"Sarah, please! It's dangerous!" Caitlin's sweet voice seemed to calm my heartbeat.

"I'm tigress! Former hero of Iberos, I'm going to find Allen, want it ir not!" I said, letting my anger control the tone in my voice. Silence arose and I searched around the place that surrounded me.

"I'll give you directions" Cisco said and soon, I was running through streets at the speed of lightning. Hmm... Lightshadow... with a black hero suit... nice!

"Sarah, I said turn right!" I heard Cisco complain.

"Oh. Sorry" I said, retracing my steps and paying attention to the task at hand.

—time skip to when she reaches Barry's position—

I saw as a dark woman stood at the top of a building, held by a man I did not know.

"Can you guys connect our speakers or something" the question wasn't answered, but instead, I heard Barry's ragged breathing match the rise and fall of his shoulders from about two buildings away. He started dashing and that was my cue to follow him.

He gladly stopped again, at the base of the building, giving me time to catch up and punch him in the face, sending him tumbling to the ground, astonished.

"You?" He asked, looking at me.

"It's a trap, B-Flash" i said, correcting my error. I whispered the next part, ready for an ambush or worse.

"You run up there and try to catch her fall, he won't expect me, I'll go after him" I said. Suddenly, that seemed like a terrible idea, but a good one as well.

"Come on, I can't let you fo that!" He whispered back. "Close your eyes". I did as I was told. When I opened my eyes, Barry's suit was closing up on my body, making it to my size, perfectly and he had... a suit? He went shopping?

I pulled the mask over my head and let it adjust to my size before nodding.

"I hope you know what you're doing, B-Flash" I said. He nodded and walked away casually.

I took a deep breath and started jogging in place. I heard Cisco's voice. "Flash thinks fast! Alright, I'm activating something in your suit so that whatever you say, it's said twice as loud and I'm trying yo make it be as close to Barry's voice as possible" he said.

"Wait..." he said and so I waited for my cue, but the villain had already started speaking.

"Flash" he said, letting the taste of it flow through his mouth. "Come get you're precious fiancé" he said. My heart beat faster, worrying me.

I took a last deep breath, calming my heart and then ran up, I didn't know how else to describe it, I just ran up the building like gravity had never pulled me down in the first place. The wind whipped my hair in all direction, but my face.

And so, I saw him push who I assumed was Iris down. I saw her desperate tears of fear. She knew I wasn't him. Knew I wasn't the love of her life, but she was hopeful, I just knew. My heart started beating faster again and my breathing grew heavy. I moved my arms for impulse, but it wasn't working... it wasn't working at all. I was running in place and all of a sudden, Iris came crashing on top of me and I took hold of her waist and she of my back. We hugged and I kept trying to get a grip with my feet. I kept thinking that the last thing I would see, where Barry Allen's flashed of lightning in slow motion with a dark blue lightning moving in there as well.

Everything was slow, and so were the tears that started falling from my eyes, and so I gripped onto the woman in my arms tighter, taking in her powerful yet sweet scented perfume. I extended an arm for good mesure and felt myself gripping onto something, giving me impulse and letting me start running upwards again. I didn't stop this time, and building seemed to fly by as my feet didn't want to give in, from the message my brain had sent down from adrenaline.

"Sarah?!" I heard Caitlyn scream in the speaker and I lost control, falling backwards and sliding a very good long distance and as I felt my back sting, my eyes watered. Iris was above me, thankfully. I had managed, somehow, to keep her unharmed.

I touched the little thing in my ears.

"How far have I gone? Is Flash still there?" I asked. Silence.

"He's off the radar, Sarah" Cisco said, in a worried tone. I felt myself slightly crumbling as Iris quickly got off me and started fixing her hair, ignorant of the fact the man of her life was missing.

"What?" I asked.

"Bring her to the labs" Caitlin whispered.

"Sarah, I need you to come back to S.T.A.R labs and then we can find a way to get Barry here." Cisco tried to say calmly.
