[penelope]

I believe that most of us, if not all of us, say that we know someone, that we trust that person. But then they do something or say something which makes us doubt if we really knew them at all. But in my case, I knew as much as they wanted me to know. I've been on the run for a while, trying to find this said person whom I trusted. She left without a single trace, and since then, I've been trying to find her. But when I found her, she was in the year 2018 and has been playing hide and seek. Went to some wedding, and she was gone. Showed up at some apartment, and then fled back to wherever she was hiding. She doesn't know that I'm here, but she'll know soon enough. 

Because I'm going to find out why she's here no matter what it takes

[narrator]

Everyone was at the West residence as Cecile introduced the newest member of the West family, Jenna Marie West. Wally had returned for the special occasion which surprised everyone, but they were happy to see him. They were all sitting around the living room when there was a knock on the door. Barry went to go open it and in came a young girl. 

"Hi."

"Hi."

"We need to talk."

"What?"

The girl glance around the house. "Wow. This place is bitchin'."

Cisco was glancing at her. "Huh?"

"I think I've seen you before." The girl's face rung a bell in Caitlin's memory. "Didn't you spill coffee all over Harry and me?"

Ralph glanced at Caitlin. "Did you pay for yours? Because she paid for ours."

"Weren't you the server at their wedding?"

"Wait, yeah, you were." Barry recognized the girl at Wally's question and then noticed her jacket. "And where did you get this jacket?"

The girl glanced at Iris who just walked into the living room. "From her."

Iris was confused. "No, mine is one-of-a-kind."

"So was this when you let me borrow it?"

Barry was still confused. "Who are you?"

"I'm your daughter, Nora. From the future. And I think I made a big, big mistake."

Iris and Barry were still reeling from the shock of their future daughter being in front of them, meanwhile, a masked figure was standing across the street and approached the window after seeing Nora go in.

"What are you doing, Nora?"

Taking off the mask and putting it in her bag, she pushed a button on her wrist and began to talk.

"Hey, it's Penelope. I found Nora again, this time at the West residence. She's been interacting with her father lately and then went into hiding. I don't know exactly what her plan is but now that I've found her, I'm not letting her out of my sight. I'm going to find out what she's hiding." The girl bit her lip. "I miss you, so so much."

She pressed the button again to stop recording and glanced in one more time. She noticed all the decorations and had a feeling that it was a baby shower, Jenna's baby shower. She saw Nora talking with everyone and a scowl formed on Penelope's face. She took a deep breath and calmed herself down before heading to the door and knocking on it.

Barry opened it, seeing at he was closer, and found the girl on the doorstep. 

"Hi."

"Hi."

"I need to come inside. There's someone I need to see."

Barry was confused. "Which is who?"

"Nora West-Allen. Your daughter. She... doesn't know I'm here."

Barry nodded slowly before letting the girl in. Immediately, she sped over to Nora and held her up against the wall, her arm against Nora's throat lightly. 

"Nora!"

"Long time no see, Nora. Tell me, how's your family doing? Oh, wait. You left us, remember?"

"Let go of my daughter!"

Nora felt a chill descend her spine when she realized who was standing in front of her. "How did you find me? What are you doing here?"

"Funny, I could ask you the same thing."

Penelope was being pushed away from Nora and she saw that Iris was protecting Nora from her.  

"Are you okay, Nora?"

"I'm fine."

Iris turned to the mystery girl with fire in her eyes. "Who the hell do you think you are? What makes you think you can come into this house and attack my daughter?"

"And what makes you think you can talk to me like that? You don't know what I'm capable of and you don't want to find out. I'm here for Nora, and I'm going to take her with me."

"No, I'm not going with you."

Penelope narrowed her eyes at Nora. "Yes, you are."

"Then I'll run away from you."

Penelope went over to the door and raised both of her arms and blasted the door with ice so that nothing gets in or out. She then turned to Nora and raised an eyebrow. "You really want to test me?"

"I'm not scared of you. You need to leave because I'm not going anywhere with you. I'm staying here."

Penelope began to slowly walk toward Nora. "Oh, Nora. You really don't want to make me mad, because I guarantee that you won't like me when I'm mad."

Her glowed white and an icicle formed in her hand as she got closer to Nora. But a hand was placed on her shoulder and when she turned around, she saw Caitlin which made her drop the icicle and her eyes went back to normal. 

Caitlin heard her breath shaking and pulled her closer. "It's okay."

Penelope hugged her and whispered in her ear. "Take me to STAR Labs, please."

"Okay."

They let go of each other and Penelope went to the door and with a vibrating fist, she broke the ice surrounding the door. 

"Okay, now that was super cool."
