(Cisco's vibe)

I gasp as I find myself in a small house. I turn to see a very young version of what I assume is Lexi, no more than 1 years old, being carried inside by a young woman.

I hear a voice behind me and I gasp when I see none other than Lewis Snart standing there.

"What happened?" he asks softly which surprises me more than anything. The woman shakes her head, tears forming in her eyes.

"Oh honey, I'm so sorry. It's your brother and his wife...there was a car crash," she explains. Tears form in Lewis's eyes.

"they are gone, aren't they?" he whispers. The woman nods.

"This was their child? Lexi?" he asks, nodding his head toward baby Lexi. She nods again.

"The police gave us custody of her as her only living realities," the woman explains. Lewis nods. Baby Lexi starts to cry and Lewis gently takes her, rocking her to sleep.

I find myself in a small garden next. I look around to see what looks like a young version of Lexi, maybe 5 or 6 years old, playing soccer with a girl and a boy. I step closer to them and gasp when I notice who they are. Leonard and Lisa Snart. I hear a door open behind me and I swivel around to see what looks like Leonard's mother standing by the door watching them.

"Kids, it's time for dinner," she calls and they all rush inside. I blink and all of a sudden I am transformed to a different setting. I see a slightly older version of Lexi, maybe 7 years old or so, sitting on a bed crying while Lisa Is busy packing a backpack full of clothes from the closet.

"I don't want to go," young Lexi sniffles. Lisa sits down next to her.

"I'm sorry but we have to," Lisa tells her.

The door opens and I turn to see Leonard standing there, a bag slung over his shoulders.

"Are you guys ready?" he asks. Lisa nods. Leonard walks into the room and picks up young Lexi from the bed, carrying her out of the room. Lisa grabs the backpack from the bed and follows behind Leonard, closing the bedroom door behind her.

I open my eyes and find myself back in STAR Labs.

"What did you see?" Caitlin asks me gently.

(End of Cisco p.o.v)

We all look at Cisco expectantly. He blinks a few times and swallows hard.

"I saw you,Lexi," he starts, looking at me, "You're Snart's cousin."

I look at him in shock along with everyone else.

"Explain exactly what you saw," Barry asks.

"I was in a house and a woman entered, carrying a baby version of Lexi. She told him his brother and his brother's wife had both died in a car crash. It was really weird because he actually looked genuinely upset. The woman, who I assume was his wife, told him that the baby was Lewis's brother's daughter, his niece. Then I was in a backyard a few years later and I saw a slightly older Lexi, 5 or 6 years old playing soccer with Leonard and Lisa. Then, their mum called them inside for dinner. Next I was in a bedroom with Lexi, about 7 years old, crying on the bed while Lisa packed a bag full of clothes. Lexi didn't want to leave but Lisa said they had to. I think that's when they ran away from home," Cisco explains everything he saw. I continue to stare in shock. Whenever I had imagined my family I had never thought they would be criminals and definitely not someone like Snart who even shot me with his cold gun.

" Are you ok?" Barry asks me, putting a hand on my shoulder. Quickly shrug it off.

"I'm fine, I just need some time alone," I reply, quickly speeding out of STAR Labs even though Caitlin said I shouldn't use my powers. I continue to run until I come across a small park bench. I sit down on it and draw my knees up to my chest. Tears trickling down my face. I always wanted answers to who I am but now, I realise it was better not to know, to be able to create a small, perfect family in my head instead. I sit there for hours until my stomach starts to grumble. I could really use some big belly burger right now. I stand up and walk over to the nearest Street sign to get an idea of where I am. Across the road is a small dairy that says, 'Keystone dairy,' on it. I ran all the way to Keystone? I guess I have no choice but to use my speed to get back. I run through Keystone until I get to the bridge that connects it and Central City. I look over at a big clock on a building to see the time reads.

1.30pm. I race down the streets of Central city till I get to the familiar building. Big belly burger. I look around to make sure no one is watching before I stop running and walk inside the big belly burger. I order myself 3 burgers, 3 drinks and 4 large fries. I sit down at one of the tables with my food, eating it all in seconds. Wiping my hands on my pants I stand up and walk out of the big belly burger. Now I just have to find a bus going to STAR Labs. It shouldn't be too hard considering they use the ground floor of the building as a museum occasionally. I hear footsteps behind me and turn around to find nobody there. I turn back around and am about to start walking again when I feel a sharp sting in my neck. I quickly grab it to find a needle sticking out of it. Before I can pull it out, my vision starts to go blurry and I fall to the ground as everything goes black.

......//:\\......

I wake to a sharp pain in my neck. I groan as I grab it and feel a few drops of blood by it. What happened? Then everything starts to come back to me. Big belly burger, the needle in my neck. I gasp as I quickly sit up, looking wildly around to see where I am. I appear to be In some sort of warehouse.
"Well look who's finally awake," a voice says. I recognise that voice. I turn around to see Leonard Snart, a.k.a captain cold standing there. I try to use my speed but find myself wearing meta-human cuffs. How did he get these? I thought only STAR Labs had them.
" Why did you take me, Snart?" I say as cold as I can, hoping my voice doesn't waver. He smirks.
"You're my dear cousin, I had to get you away from those people at STAR Labs. Anyway, I have someone who wants to meet you." I turn to see a young woman, only a few years younger than Snart, run up to me. I recoil as she hugs me tightly. This must be Lisa,
my cousin.
" Oh, Lexi. I thought you had run away. Where did you go?" she asks, tears streaming down her face. Snart pulls her away from me.
"Remember what I told you, Lisa?" he says,"She doesn't remember anything."
I frown in confusion.
"How did you know I don't remember anything?" I ask him. He shrugs.
"just a guess."
I try to stand up but nearly fall over in the process. Luckily, Snart catches me just before I hit the ground.
"You shouldn't stand up, we gave you a pretty strong sedative," He explains. I sit down on the hard concrete floor.
"Why did you take me?" I ask him again. Snart and his sister share a look.
"Our boss wants to hire you," Lisa says. I look at them both in confusion.
"why?" I ask them.
"your speed could help us to get rid of all the superheros, especially the Flash," Snart tells me. I stare at him like he's a maniac, which he is.
"No," I reply. They both stare at me.
"No?" Snart repeats what I said.
"I won't let you use my speed to get rid of all the superheros," I clarify. Snart holds up his cold gun toward me, causing me to flinch.
"If you don't help us, I'll go after everyone you care about. Sasha, Iris, Joe and everyone at STAR Labs," Snart says. I swallow hard.
"Alright, I'll help you," I whisper. He smirks.
"Good, Lisa, go tell the boss that she agreed," He tells Lisa and she walks off. He gives me a wave before leaving as well, turning off the lights as he does, leaving me alone in the pitch black warehouse.

......//:\\......

I wake to someone nudging me in the shoulder. I groan and open my eyes to see Lisa kneeling over me. I quickly sit up.
"the boss is ready to see you now." I look over to see Snart standing by the door. I cautiously stand up to find my legs a lot more steady this time.
"Let's go," Snart says, leading me out of the warehouse with Lisa close behind.

We drive up to a big unnamed building and Snart announces that we are here. We all climb out of the car. Snart leads me over to the door of the building and presses his hand on the hand scanner. It shines green and I hear the click of the door unlocking. Snart pushes open the door and I see a woman standing inside the building. She smiles at me.
"Welcome to the Black Hole, Lexi."
