Shift

CHAPTER SIX

It was the end of the week and Alex was stuck at her apartment pacing back and forth. Even Barry admitted that he knew she was no good. But he was also the one to defend her and to offer her help. He believed that she could and would help. It was the fact that no one trusted her enough to be on her own, but that she was able to be in the fight.

Maybe, just maybe if she helped they would take the tracker off of her. That was a chance she was willing to take.

It was dark out when she finally made up her mind. Alex quickly shoved some things into her back pack – she didn't know how long it would take. For a moment she hesitated again; by doing this she was being a different person. Some one that she thought she would never be - Alex didn't help people, she screwed with them. But if it was going to get her out of their hands and allow her to be free again it was worth it.

She changed into Barry for the way there, it was going to be a lot longer if she rode the bus there. And she liked to be able to run like that, he was getting faster which meant that she was getting faster. Alexandra could push herself to run faster too, but only minimal. Barry was the source of the speed and she simply took it from him.

Alex was tired by the time she reached the city. She had been to Starling a few times, most of the time when she was younger with her family. But there was a few times in the past years that she went, once for racing and a couple for just the heck of going. Her lack of knowledge to get around made it even harder to find the hide out for team Arrow. The only reason she knew about it was because Barry knew.

Alex finally found the place, it was under the night club that the Queens owned – which she found awesome. Everyone was in there when she arrived, including a few people she didn't know. She sat down on one of the office chairs, which spun around because of her speed.

"Sorry I'm late," She spoke, still looking like Barry. There was instantly guns pointed and shot towards her, obviously the one person didn't know about Alex and what she could do. However she was able to catch the bullets that were fired at her. They spilled from her hand and landed on the concrete floor.

"What the hell?" The girl stuttered out. She looked between Barry and Alex, both of them wore the same suits and looked the exact same. "But..."

Alex chuckled and turned into Cisco, then Caitlin and several different random people that were pulled up from the back of her mind. It gave her quite the headache by the time that she finally turned back into herself, but worth it for the look that she received. "I had a bit of trouble finding the place."

"How did you find the place?" Oliver asked with hesitance. His bow was still slightly raised at her. Oliver didn't trust very many people, and Alex sure as hell wasn't one on them. Barry had went to him when Alex first came out as a meta, he told her all of the things she did. It was that moment he began to be weary of the girl.

"Barry knew where it was," She said. Alexandra hopped up and grabbed the sushi from Barry's hand, the run had made her really hungry. It must have been a real pain for Barry to have to eat all of the time. "Why do you think you got one of those bracelets Mr. Queen? I learn everything about you with a simple touch."

"Barry can I speak to you for a moment, please?" Oliver said. The two went off to the side and spoke quietly. It was pretty obvious they were talking about her, but she decided that she would let him talk about how untrustworthy she was and let Barry come up with some excuse.

"I didn't know you were coming, Alex," Caitlin took a step towards the blonde. She spoke up to break the awkward tension. The others weren't fond of Alex, at least those who were in Central City during her freak out. Right off the bat Oliver didn't trust her, and not just because she was under the influence of Bivilo. He knew her back story enough that she didn't deserve to know his identity or Barry's.
