Joe had adopted Delaney as an infant and cared for her as his own. In school, Iris, Barry and Delaney were best friends. Barry always found himself in love with Delaney but thought she didn't return the favor. Delaney, on the other hand, was in love...

Barry pulled out the board that he had on Harrison Wells, which used to be for his mothers murder, which we're thinking might be related, "Okay this is everything we have on Harrison Wells. Which is actually not a lot", he said. I sat on his desk and Dad sat in his chair, "Didn't you read a whole book about him?", he asked. Barry sighed, "Yeah, 600 pages, and the big takeaway is that he's enigmatic", he said frustrated.
Dad thinks for a second, "Your mom was killed by a speedster. Wells' machine turned you into a speedster. That's way too many coincidences for this old cop", he said. Barry sat in the chair next to where I was and I put a hand on his shoulder, "Do you think he wanted me to become The Flash?", he asked looking at both Dad and me. I sighed, "Everything he's done since you got struck by lightning was to make you faster and to keep you safe, as he always said", I said looking down at him.
He nodded, "Wells once said he needed more speed from me. Why?", he asked frustrated. Dad shook his head and stood up, "I don't know. But he needs something from you Barry. We just need to figure out what it is". Barry was clearly tired of waiting, "Well then lets go get him then. Let's go get some answers", he said. I sighed and grabbed his hand, "Barry, we can't. We have to be strategic with this. We thought he was the Revers Flash but the blood didn't match in your house. He is good at hiding his tracks. We have to be patient, just like he is", I said and he nodded. I stood up and walked over pulling the map down over the board so that no one else would find it.

Barry and I rushed to the park because we heard explosions, and lots of them. We saw people running in all different directions, trying to avoid the blasts. A man was calling out for his son and I saw the little boy he was yelling for about to grab one of the exploding presents dropping form the sky. He was close enough that I was able to run over and wrap the boy up while using my other hand to sonic blast the box away, it exploding while I shielded the small boy with my body.
After the explosion, I looked at the boy to see if he was injured and then picked him up and took him to his father. The relieved father smiled at me, "Thank you Silver Siren". I smiled back and ran to find Barry. Who had just finished getting everyone to safety and we headed back to STAR labs where Caitlyn, dad, Cisco and Dr. Wells found a video that this guy posted about the situation. It looked like he was standing on a roof.
"Tricked ya. Look who's back. My tricks. My treat. But I'll give you something good to eat. Today's special. A city in ashes. The Trickster proudly welcomes you all to the new disorder", he says in the video. I groan, "You know they're crazy when they talk in the third person". Caitlyn looks at me, "Cisco's just mad because he names himself", she said. Dad looked at her, "Actually he didn't. 20 years ago, Central City was his by a series of terrorist attacks. One man killed at least 10 civilians and 2 cops, that guy called himself the Trickster", he informed us.
Cisco looked up the attacks 20 years ago and found a picture of the first Trickster, "Wow someone was rocking the unitard", he joked. Caitlyn looked at the police report, "James Jesse?", she questioned. Dad looked at her, "Like Jesse James, only more twisted. He's serving several life sentences at Iron Heights. He was just about the most dangerous thing Central City had ever seen", he said.
