The flash

    Roxanna had long since finished the software update for Star labs computers and their communication system, she was working on the ear pieces for the team to integrate with the software when Caitlin called her. Roxie sighed and got up, going over to the training room, she glanced up when she saw Barry on the treadmill and then went to speak to Caitlin. "I can try, can you send me the data you have on both of them to the mainframe computer?" Roxie asked. "Yeah I'll transfer it right now for you" "Caitlin said. "Alright I'll get started on it right away" Roxie voiced and went back to the main computer as Caitlin's data came up for her and she got to work.

     

    Cisco was ingrained into his work and jumped when Beth suddenly showed up in his work room and he turned to look at her with a raised brow. When Beth said that Iris ambushed her with a blind date with a cop, it took alot for Cisco not to laugh, he barely kept in a snort and covered his mouth. After a moment he cleared his throat. "So just cancel, tell her you're not into it and not going and she can't change your mind. If that doesn't work, just don't show up" Cisco said simply with a shrug. "On the upside, I'm almost done these wheeled boots of yours, just need Roxie's help with the trigger but she's upgrading the comm system and helping Caitlin right now too" he explained to her.

    ‘’Trust me i Cisco i did,infact i spent te last couple hours yelling at her and Eddie,since this was also his idea. He said that a young good looking girl like me shouldnt be so single all the time. Liek what kind of ass backwards 1950’s thinking i that!?’’ Bethany ranted and groaned and rubbed ehr temples. When Cisco mentioned her skates she perked up ‘’finally1 some good news! Let’s see them!’’ She stated and walked over to his work area and tok a look at the prototype ‘’oh those look so cool Cisco! I hpe they end up working would be so fun t test them out’’ she siad happily as she looked at what he designed. Then her phone beeped ‘’hey Cait wants us in the cortex’’ Beth said and grabbed her bag,

    Meanwhiel Barry as tkaing a break from the treadmill and sat down, resting a bit as he was a bit tired,he was till unsure if he should tell Joe everything or not. But before he could well on it Caitlin came over to him ‘’hey Roxanna mgiht have found something about your lightning and Beths, i messaged her to come tot he cortex so the she can understand it too. ‘’ ciatlin siad an dBarry nodded beofre following her once in the cortex he saw his sister and hugged ehr before turning to Roxanna ‘’so Cait said you might have found something?’’ Barry as sked Roxanna and crossed his arms wondering what could have been found. From what they did kno, Beth had a pretty pure connection to the speed force so far,better than what his was at least, his lighting could turn white or have white mixed in but it wasnt like Beths.

    Cisco had a rather bold idea about how to get Beth out of her current situation, but before he could make such a suggestion, they were asked to the cortex. "Alright well hopefully that means Roxie can help me finish these things for you sooner than later" he remarked as they headed for the Cortex. Roxanna was finishing up her results when the others came in. "Yeah, Caity asked me to try running an algorithm to see why you two have different colors of lightening yet you can match each other in power and speed. So I ran the data and this is what i found" Roxie said as the results came up on the screens on the wall by their suits. "Its based on the chemicals that you two collided with the night you were struck. While Barry took down the main chemical shelf in his lab, Beth landed over his desk, the green solution used by most forensic scientists is for developing latent finger prints or toxicology sample preparation, which after talking to Joe, what Barry was working on that day prior to the accelerator explosion for a case. Beth was closer to these chemical when the lightning struck, it mixed with not only her powers but her DNA, just like Barry's powers, that's why your lightning is different colors but you're abilities are the same. The chemical compounds that you each collided with when struck" Roxanna explained to them.

    Barry and Beth stood there silently, before Beth suddenly sighed loudly ‘’whats your issue with this?’’ Barry asked ‘’look i get how that chnaged the concept and color of my speed versus Barry’s.. fine and grand.. but that doesn’t explain he speed force connection at all’’ se stated ‘’how so?’’ Caitlin asked ‘’look we know that i can pretty much pop in and oiut fo the seed force at will whenever the hell i wnat.. seen it,done it,whatever.. but Barry’s connection isnt as strong,if these chemicals really only chnaged the color of my lightning, then why are our connections tot he speed force so different’’ she stted and looked atthem. That was Somethign Barry had noticed too. He had only ever entered into it by ccident but was basically thrown back out of it.. where as Beth could gain access easily ‘’I’d have to assume its eac use you accepted this change in yourselves differnetly’’Harrison siad as he wheeled into the room ‘’what do you mean? We both accepted this and we’ve both been doing the hero thing ‘’ Barry said’’true.. but i think what he means.. is how youve been hesitant about it.. you even told me last week how your ere still hesitant bout it all’’ Beth said and Barry sa ighed, he was still kinda… hesitant about hwat had happened to them.. he ahd tonwondered if his own hesitance was holding him back.

    Cisco stood there with his arms lightly crossed, a string of licorice in his one hand that he munched on while listening to what Roxie found. Roxanna looked at Beth "Thats just it Beth, you can come and go through the speed force when you WANT. No offense to you Barry at all, but you hold more doubt and question yourself alot more than Bethany does, which could be the main aspect of why she can access the speed force and you're just...fast because of it" Roxie tried to explain. "But if you look here at the chemicals that they were each exposed to, see where Bethany hit, the combination of chemicals caused the reduction of oxidation which caused the electrons in her body to increase. By going over Caitlin's data since you were both struck, the amount of kinetic electrons in each of you increased at different rates, where Bethany's increased faster than Barry's, but you each have the same amount at the same time" Roxie tried to explain. "English?" Cisco joked. "If the two of them run at the same speed, both focused on a destination, Barry would get there by simply running, where Beth could pop into the speed force and out at the same destination, essentially beating Barry if it were a race, because of HOW the electrons formed in her dna" Roxie tried to clarify.

    ‘’This could could explain your wind thing’’ Wells commented and Beth shot him a look ‘’wind thing? What wind thing?’’ Barry asked with a confused look on his face. ‘’Its nothing’’ Beth said ‘’oh its far from nothing’’ wells stated ‘’will you shush!’’ Beth said ‘’they havea right to know’’ wells commented making Beth groan ‘’WHAT WIND THING!!?’’ Barry exclaimed wanting to know what the heel they were talking about. Suddenly Beth moved her arm and hand creating a small tornado inside the room ‘’wow.. okay havent seen thatbefore’’ Caitlin stated as sshe looked at it. Beth moved her hand again and the tornado shifted into a. Steady breeze then vanished ‘’its called Areokinesis, i can manipulate the air aorund me,  the winds, make em do what i want. Not sure hwo i got it. But ti appeared shortly after we took down Mardon… Wells noticed it when i was messing with it a few days later and hes been secretly helping me gain some contorl. Over it.. i cant do much, create small tornados, manipulate the breeze,  sometimes if i focus hard enough I. Can move small clouds, but thats about it right now’’ Beth siad gently ‘’why didn’t either of you say anything?’’ Barry asked ‘’remembering a couple months ago, i ahd that really bad panic attack at the school.. then suddenly there was that giant freak storm.. took down part. Of the high school and killed two people? That storm, Wells thinks it was created because of ym panic attack… the forecast was completely clear and free, i have a panic attack and suddenly theres a freak storm.. do the math.. i was terrified to even try it out with wells after that.. so.. I haven’t used it… ‘’ Beth epxlained and Barry sighed before hugging his sister.. he remembered how bad that panic attack was, Beth had always had them since their mom died . Barry sighed and let go of his sister ‘’so.. this wind thing of yours, its tied to your emotions then?’’ Caitlin asked ‘’we’re not fully sure, still working on that but we have a few therories of what it could be, and based on Miss Raymond’s findings it could be connected to her in other ways but triggered by strong emotions’’ wells explained as he leaned on his left hand/arm.

    Cisco rose a brow and took a couple steps back as Bethany created a small tornado in the Cortex. "Well that's...different" he remarked. "I think that Beth can do certain things and Barry can't is due to her new genetic make up since the accelerator went off, like Roxie said the chemicals you both encountered were different when the lightning struck you at the same time" Caitlin voiced. Roxanna was about to say something as she fiddled with the last pieces of one of the communications devices she'd been working on all day, the small piece fell on the floor, Roxie sighed and moved to pick it up, but realized it was already in her hand. "What the hell...?" She muttered under her breath. "Maybe it varies depending on the emotions, if we can find out which emotions trigger this, we can find a way that you can control it" Cisco suggested. "Roxie? Are you okay?" Caitlin asked, noticing the dyed blonde had gone silent as she sat up from reaching under the desk. "Yeah, yeah I'm fine" Roxie muttered as she cleared her throat.
