Son of Siren

Trust

Clara and Mark were locked in the training room, which had all weapons removed in case they fought again. "Thanks a lot." Clara said to Mark. Mark looked at her. "You should've told me what was happening." He said. "Why?" Clara asked. Mark stood up. "I would have come home." Clara shook her head and stood up. She walked over to him with anger in her eyes. "What did you do with Damian?" She asked in frustration. Mark shook his head. "He was fine when I last saw him." Meanwhile Phoebe stood outside the training room listening to them. Tommy walked over and rolled his eyes. "You realize it's not gonna work at this rate right?" He asked. Phoebe looked at him. She didn't like what she was doing but knew Tommy was right. "Got any suggestions?" She asked. Over in another part of the base Cody was looking up stuff on the computers when Felicity stepped in. "Hey now!" Felicity said in alarm. "What do you think you're doing?" Cody just laughed. "William was right." He said. "You're not as different as who I know." Felicity laughed as she neared him. "Yeah well I'm still getting used to seeing my future son." She said. Cody looked at Felicity. "Then again...this isn't your only experience with time." He said with an uneasy tone. Felicity looked at him. "Is something wrong?" She asked. Cody took a breath and stood up. "You and your team have been hiding something from us in my time." He said. "About Flashpoint." Felicity knew what he was talking about and tried to avoid the conversation. "We put that in the past." She said as La'Raya entered the room. "You asked her?"She asked Cody. Cody nodded. "It's affecting JJ more than the rest of us." La'Raya said. "We're completely in the dark about it." Felicity looked at the two of them. "I-I knew we put it behind us but I never would've thought we'd go this far." She said. "You'd have to ask his parents. I'm afraid it's not for me to answer." La'Raya shook her head and left with Cody following her. "La'Raya wait." He said after they left the room. "No I'm done waiting." La'Raya said turning around. "This has been going on for too long." Cody nodded in understanding. "I wish our time of them would've told us but..." He said before pausing. "Wait a minute...did you intentionally bring us here?" He asked. La'Raya didn't answer and instead left as Cody watched in disbelief. She walked out of the base where Delilah was standing. "Where are you rushing to?" She asked looking at her. La'Raya rolled her eyes and looked at Delilah. "To get information." She said. Delilah walked over to her. "Flashpoint again?" She asked. "Even if you do find out, what then?" La'Raya told her she'd keep searching. "They keep saying it had a big effect on my boyfriend." She said. "Don't try and stop me." La'Raya then went to the apartment door the Diggles lived. She hesitated for a second and then knocked on the door. Lyla opened the door and looked at her. "Hi can I help you?" She asked as JJ came to her side, surprising La'Raya. "Honey go have your food." Lyla told him. "Okay mommy." JJ said. Lyla then looked at La'Raya noticing her reaction. "Something wrong?" She asked. "I'm sorry, I actually know JJ." La'Raya said surprising Lyla. "In my time...we're dating actually." Lyla stepped out of the apartment and closed the door. "How is he?" She asked. La'Raya took a breath. "Actually there's something I need to ask you." She said. "What did Flashpoint do to JJ?" She asked. Lyla was silent for a second but took a breath. "What if you don't like what you hear?" She asked. Meanwhile back in the training room, Clara and Mark were still arguing. "You need to stop lying to me." She said. "What did you do with Damian?" Mark looked at his sister. "I didn't do anything to him." He said. "Whatever did happen was after we split." Just then an alarm began to go off as the door unlocked. Tommy rushed in and slammed it. "What's going on?" Clara asked. "It's Phoebe...something's wro-" Tommy started to say before the door flew off the hinges. Phoebe walked in wearing her Weakener attire. "Alright you two." She said with a smirk. "Time to end this." Weakener began walking towards Clara and Mark as they looked at her. "What're we gonna do?" Clara asked. Mark looked at her. "I don't know, but we can't let her hurt anyone." He said. The two of them fought Weakener as she went after them. Tommy sent a canary cry at her, but she absorbed it and sent it back at him. The force sent Tommy flying and crashing through a window into the hallway. Clara held out her hand and a water blast was released. "Our powers are back." She said. "How is that possible?" She asked as Mark's powers showed themselves. "I don't know." He said. "But we have to stop her." The two split up and tried to attack Weakener separately. Weakener used an energy to knock them down and laughed. "You'd think the the new generation wouldn't be this easy to beat." She said looking at the two of them. Mark and Clara got up and nodded at each other. The two of them dodged Weakeners' attacks until they reached each other. "Sorry mom." Clara said. "We didn't wanna hurt you." She and Mark held hands and sent a large blast towards Weakener. Before it had the chance to hit her, a red energy shot through the room, freezing the energy and everything around them. Mark then saw the reality stone in Weakeners' hand. "It wasn't real." He said in realization. Weakener shook her head as a red glow turned her back into Phoebe. "I had to make sure that you two could get along." She said with a smile as the damage from the fight vanished. "But why would you give us back our powers?" Clara asked. Phoebe chuckled. "Actually I never took them." She said as she walked off. "I just had to be convincing." She said as she held the reality stone.
