Chapter 8 - All Doll'd Up

MacKenzie's POV

"Cait, I just wanna sleep." I groan as we walk over to the door of her apartment

It wasn't that early, but nothing major was going on and I am TIRED

"Someone wants to talk to you." Caitlin says, leading me to the door

I give her a look

She nods and I open the door
Nora is standing there

"Nora?" I ask

"Hey, KenZ." Nora says. "I need to talk to you."

I step aside so she can come in

***

Nora and I sit on my bed in my room in Caitlin's place

"You had a fight with them and you moved out." I sum up her story. "Sounds like I can relate."

"Yeah." Nora says, looking down. "That's actually another thing I wanted to talk to you about." She takes a deep breath. "You probably hate me because...well, I know I threw a wrench in everything when I showed up and I'm sorry if I ever made you feel like you weren't Barry and Iris' daughter."

I stare at her

"It's not your fault." I tell her

Nora looks up at me

"You shouldn't be apologizing." I tell her. "I don't hate you...you're my sister. It's just...it's been a little hard adjusting recently and with everything Barry and Iris have been, um, saying and stuff. It was never about you though...I'm sorry if I made you feel that way."

Nora nods

"Are we close?" I ask

"Huh?" Nora asks

"In the future. Are we close?" I ask her

"Yea." Nora says genuinely, unlike when she talked about her and Iris being close. "Whenever we got together, we were inseparable. We were like that growing up too."

"Awesome." I say with a smile

"You're not worried about me telling you about the future?" Nora asks

"No." I say. "Life is gonna happen anyways."

Nora leans in to hug me

I wince lightly

"Sorry!" Nora exclaims, pulling away quickly

"It's okay." I say. "My arms have been broken plenty of times before."

Nora looks as if she wants to say something but then doesn't

"Here." Nora says, pulling her phone out and handing it to me. "We need some quality sister bonding time."

2 Weeks Later...

Caitlin, Cisco, Sherloque, Ralph, and I are in the lounge

"That's for you." Sherloque says, handing Ralph a paper

"The hell is this?" Ralph asks

"Well, that's the hours to apply against my debt." Sherloque says. "Fruitful hours spent getting closer to uncovering the identity of your serial meta-killer, Cicada."

"And how's that?" Cisco asks

"Well, I apply a complex formula complex for you, involving the terminal velocity and the weight of the S. T. A. R. Labs' satellite and the velocity of Barry and Nora traveling when they...Destroy the satellite, right, allowing me to conclude that...The debris from the satellite, the satellite shrapnel, and the man who would become our Cicada would be found within this perimeter." Sherloque says, pointing to a map
