"Damn you're heavy," I grunt as I drag Barry 2 across the pavement, trying to find a good place to leave him at. His head drags and falls to the side as I pull him behind a dumpster, throwing his feet back down to the ground. He was still passed out cold. "There you go...not the nicest place on the block to stay, but it'll work."

I stare down at him for a long moment, studying his facial features. I noticed that this Barry's nose was a little more crooked than the other Barry's, but I assume that all of that crime fighting probably knocked it back into place. I smile at the thought before stepping over his body, not even looking back as I walked down the alley.

"Stay in the shadows," I fade out, looking around me and focusing on my surroundings. There were car honks coming from ahead of me, along with the sound of people walking and talking on the phone. I know that I was told to not dare step foot out in public, but where else was I supposed to go? I had to get out of this alley one way or another, so I headed towards all of the sounds.

I almost step out into sight before I remember that I wasn't exactly wearing your typical clothing for a normal person on the street. I didn't have any other clothes either...dammit Raven, why didn't you think of this? I think for a moment before my eyes connect with a girl walking down the sidewalk, looking the same size as me. She chats away on the phone as her manicured nails wrap around a Jitters coffee cup, taking a sip every so often she stopped talking.

She was wearing a black leather jacket with a white shirt underneath, along with a pair of black jeans and black boots. She looked good in the outfit I'll admit, but I knew that I would look better. Of course I had to have it.

I smirk before dashing over towards her, grabbing her and bringing her back into the alley. Little to no time passes (for her that is) as I remove each piece of her clothing, replacing all of it in the end with a trash bag I had found in the dumpster nearby. After I'm done putting on the outfit and shoving my costume into her purse (which I also took), I dashed around the corner and walked along as if I didn't do a single thing wrong. My eyes glance over my shoulder as I hear her scream, not sure what had just happened as I smirk. I sure missed this alright.

I stumble a little in the healed boots, forgetting how to walk in them. It's been awhile, that's for sure. However, I quickly figure it out once again as I turn the corner, being greeted with multiple other people on the sidewalk. Most of them keep walking and don't pay attention to anything around them, but one of them stopped and looked at me, her eyes going bright. Oh no.

"Raven!" she shouts, jogging over towards me before stopping. She looks me up and down. "Woah, you sure look...different."

I bite my tongue, not sure what to say. She must think I was my earth 1 self...I didn't even think about my earth 1 self. "Just trying a new, um, style."

I fake laugh, and I could tell that she noticed it too. She nods awkwardly before continuing on. "I didn't think I'd see you on the streets. Teresa told me that you would probably be in the hospital a few more days."

"Teresa..." I fade off, knowing that she was talking about my mother. My mother was here on this earth. Why didn't I think of that?

She must have thought I asked a question. "You know, your mom? I'm sorry, I usually call her Terri...I don't know why I called her by her actual name. My bad."

I stare at her blankly, curious to know more. "What do you mean hospital?"

"For treatment," she nods, sensing that something wasn't right, but not accepting it. "I heard that it was spreading faster...you know, the cancer."

"Cancer," I repeat, trying to imagine myself having cancer. "I have cancer."

She raises her eyebrow. "Are you sure you're feeling alright?"

I shake my head, trying to play it off. "Y-Yeah. Sorry, I'm just a little out of it today. It was nice to see you, uh-"

"Harper," she finishes for me, faintly smiling. I could tell that she thought I was insane, but I didn't care. I simply smile at her before continuing on, my mind stuck on the idea of myself having cancer. It was hard to picture.

The more I walked along, the more curious I had became. I wanted to see myself...to see how weird it would be. I wondered if over here I was similar to the actual me; or even if I still knew Jay. A part of me had a feeling that here I wouldn't have ever met him, but I still had my parents. I tossed the idea of not having Jay or not having my parents around in my head, and I couldn't decide which universe I would have rather lived in.

I didn't make it much farther down the road before I hear a high pitched siren in my ear, causing me to stop and grab my ears. It takes me a moment to realize that it was the alarm that Cisco had put in my ear that was connected to Barry, either meaning that he was in trouble or that it was time to go home.

I wonder which one it is.

10 years ago

"What's this?" Jay says to me as he throws a newspaper down at the dinner table, interrupting me mid-bite. I stop when my eyes land on a giant photo of a figure in front of the bank, which was me. You couldn't tell that it was me, but I knew that it was, and I had a feeling that Jay knew too.

I set my pineapple pizza back down onto my plate, gulping. "Looks like someone that stole a bunch of diamonds, according to the article."

"Don't play that card on me Raven," he snaps, whipping the newspaper back off the table. "I know that's you. You deliberately disobeyed me."

My checks heat up. "I'm sorry-"

"Don't apologize," he shakes his head, blue lightning starting to bounce off his skin. That only happened when he was angry, I noticed. "I don't want to hear it. I can't believe you would do something like this when I told you to never go alone; you could have been caught and then what, Raven? So many things could have gone wrong. God...what has gotten into you?"

"I wanted to show you that I could do it alone," I snap back, not sure why I was really this angry. If this situation would have happened four years ago, I would have accepted the punishment, but this time I wasn't taking it. "You treat me like a kid, Jay. You treat me like I'm still that weak little girl you found crying that night in my house after my parents were ripped away from me. I still never got a reason on that, you know? When am I ever going to get that answer?"

Jay's eyes flash, and I knew I was in for it now. "I've told you Raven, they did something to piss me off enough to deserve what they got. You should be the one thanking me for even taking you in. You could be in a foster home right now; you know how much fun that is? Trust me, I know. You're not the only person who's parents were ripped away from them, so stop acting like it."

I shake my head, toning most of it out. I wanted to address what he just said, but I was too damn hard headed. I was never one to lose an argument. "What was it they did to piss you off so much anyways? I never heard that answer either. For all I know you did it just to have some fun, and then you got stuck with me for God knows why. My parents-"

"Enough!" Jay screams at the top of his lungs, making my core shutter. I've only heard Jay scream like that one other time, and it still played like a broken record in my memory. Seeing him like this made me feel bad that I ever did or said anything, and that's why I was weak.

Streaks of blue lightning dance across his skin as his eyes burn with fury, with a hint of crazy in them. I wasn't going to dare let him say any more; at least, not until after I apologized, even if he didn't want to hear it. "Jay, I-I didn't mean that. I'm grateful for all that you've done for me...even under the circumstances. It's hard for me to remember that you went through the same thing I did; with the whole losing your parents thing. I shouldn't have tried doing anything on my own. You're right, it was dangerous and stupid and I could have gotten myself into serious trouble. I won't do it again."

By the time I finished my half thrown together apology, Jay was already calmed down. He wasn't completely back to normal again, but the crazy was gone from his eyes and the lightning had died down a little. He stares into my eyes for a moment before looking away, staring at the table where my pizza still sat. The air around us is tense before he looks back up at me, clearly still slightly angry at me.

"Don't do it again," he says with careful words. I didn't have time to say anything more before he's zooming away and out of the lair, leaving me alone like all of the other times he has. I was sick of being stuck here alone, forbidden to leave, but I promised him I wouldn't do what I did again.

However, I didn't promise him anything about not going to find Dust Storm.

Present

After I had ditched those normal clothes and put back on the costume Cisco made me, I ran as fast as I could to where Barry was. Cisco had also given me a little tracker to find Barry in case he did press that buzzer, which still showed that he was in S.T.A.R. Labs, so hopefully it was time to go home. Only after I ran around the whole facility twice and didn't find him anywhere, I knew something was wrong.

I pant as I stop in one of the corners, catching my breath as my eyes scanned for anyone coming, not just Barry. At this point, I had no idea what to do. I couldn't find him anywhere and I've looked in every possible place. I didn't know where I could find him...I'm sure Cisco screwed up with the tracker.

Just as soon as I thought that, the com in my ear starts to beep multiple times a second, causing me to get a headache. I'm sure Cisco screwed up on the tracker and the com, which was why this wasn't even working. I grunt as I reach to take my com out, but then, something suddenly hits me.

The beat in my ear started to form a pattern; something I remembered back when I had been "locked" in the cell with Barry the first time Jay told me to get on the inside. The guy with the mask, or the other Flash, had been trying to use morse code, but they couldn't figure it out. I'll bet you that's what Barry is doing right now.

I pause and listen to each tap, hearing some of them short and some of them longer than the rest. Eventually, I figured out that what he was saying was this:

in the wall..he knows

Eobard knows that Barry isn't the actual Barry. How could things get any worse? I spoke too soon, because right after, Barry taps again; something different this time:

he's going to kill me

FINALLY GOT THIS CHAPTER DONE SHEESH! Took me so long and I'm not sure why.

So yeah, prepare to see more Raven wondering about her E1 self I suppose...it'll come back up later.
