"When's the last time you saw Doctor Harrison Wells." I paced the office of the middle aged woman. She sat in her chair, scared and unsure of what to do. I could nearly hear her heart pounding in fear.
"Not in weeks! Please, I don't know much." She back up her chair. The moon was the only thing lighting the office. As she moved back I couldn't see her hands under her desk. I jumped over her desk and pushed her chair. It flew backwards and broke through glass. I grabbed the arm of the chair as she screamed. I rolled my eyes.
"Oh God! Please!" She was nearly in tears. I looked at her. How was she different from the others? I had already killed half a dozen scientists as I looked for Harrison.
"You're of no use to me anymore." I say and pull her chair up.
"Oh god thank you!" She sobs. I pull out my sword. She notices and screams as I carve a symbol into her upper chest. It's not very deep but you can see it.
"Tell the Flash I'm looking for Harrison. And tell him, the X is coming." I whisper as she whimpers in pain.
I smile and walk away. I go out the same way I came, through the air ducts.
7 signs.
Hopefully I won't have to inflict anymore.

"Johanna?" Barry's voice snaps me back to the present. I blink a few times and see that I'm in my bedroom. Barry stands above me. I rub my eyes and yawn. I roll out of bed and stand up in front of Barry. It takes a couple seconds and a strange look from Barry that makes me realize I'm only in a button up plaid shirt, that isn't my own. and nothing else.
"Oh." I shrug and walk to my closet. I grab a pair of shorts and underwear. I put them on. Barry stands with his back facing me. I decide to change my shirt too. I think the plaid shirt I'm wearing might be Barry's. I walk away from the closet and throw the shirt at him. It lands on his shoulder.
"Is that your shirt?" I ask. Barry looks at it but puts it on the bed.
"We need to talk." He crosses his arms.
"We are talking." I smirk. I begin to walk away but he gets in front of me.
"No, you haven't spoke to me in weeks." He grabs my arm. I look at him. I feel a cold dead stare in my eyes. He looks at my face.
"You should go." I grit my teeth. He lets go of my arm. He sighs.
"I can't lie to you anymore." Barry looks at me before using his lightning fast speed and picks me up. I'm not entirely prepared for it so I give out a yelp. He runs full speed through the downtown and up a building. It only takes seconds. He stops when we get to the top. I catch my breath and look at him.
"You're....you're.." I fake amazement. He smiles and puts his hands in his pockets.
"I'm the Flash." He smiles. I smile back at him. Finally he tells me himself. I let out a joyful laugh.
"That's amazing! I mean how did this happen? When?!" I ask. The things I ask are things I actually know but can't grasp.
"It's a long story. It all started at S.T.A.R. labs." He smiles. I feel my heart skip a beat. Where Harrison worked? How did....wait...what?
"Oh?" I give out a shaky smile.
"It was a scientist but not really. It's kind of complicated." He shrugs. I look at him. It was a scientist, but not really?
"Oh. Well you'll have to tell me sometime." I smile. Barry nods and picks me up he runs down the building. Instead of going to my house he goes to S.T.A.R. labs, which is under construction. He goes to the finished part. He stops once inside. A man with shoulder length black hair meets us.
"Barry? Um." He looks at me.
"Cisco, this is Johanna." Barry introduces me. Cisco smiles at me and nods. I hold out my hand.
"Hello Cisco." I say in a calm voice. He takes my hand but I see a small fear in his eyes but it slowly goes away. Cisco turns his attention to Barry.
"I found something, you might want to check it out." Cisco says. He motions Barry and I to follow him. We walk through the newly redone halls. I look around. I have only been in here once and I didn't exactly take in the scenery. It's very futuristic and not so much dark. Everything is white or grey with steel and glass. I like it, it reminds me of the Core, the apartment building, I had to come up with some cool name, I might have failed at that.
I walk into an area that looks all too familiar. Its the room with the computers where I saw Harrison's chair. I look around and see they revamped it a bit in here. I don't realize Cisco and Barry are talking until Cisco addresses me.
"Wait, don't you know a lot about this?" Cisco asks and I look up.
"About what?" I ask.
"Military tactics and such?" Cisco asks. I look to Cisco and then to Barry.
"I know a little bit." I shrug. The voice inside my head laughs and calls me a liar. I ignore it.
"Well, we do need better tactics Barry." Cisco looks to Barry. Barry sighs and leans against the desk.
"Johanna would you be interested in joining us?" Barry crosses his arms. I perk up, did a hero just ask me to be on his team? I let out a breath....a hero asked. I hear Harrison's voice in the back of my head. The Flash knows the X is out for him.
"Yes, however there is one problem." I bite my lower lip.
"What's that?" Cisco asks unsure. Barry looks at me with fear in his eyes. However he doesn't have the right fear. I feel my heart pound as my mouth begin to shape the words.
"I'm...I'm the X."
