Chapter 127
"Hey Ralph, you okay?" Cisco asked as he watched the head of security come into work a little late.
"Yeah, sorry I'm late, but my car broke down yesterday and the mechanic won't have it fixed until tonight, so I had to take the bus and it was late." Ralph said.
"No worries. What bus did you take?" Cisco asked.
"Last night I was on the 405 bus." Ralph said.
"Really, did anything interesting happen?" Cisco asked, since he was beginning to wonder if maybe there was anywhere he'd need to vibe.
"Yeah actually. There was this big flash of light like some kind of vortex and then I briefly saw a flash of red lightning. Why is everything okay?" Ralph asked.
"Yeah, just making small talk. Good luck with your car." Cisco said.
"Thanks." Ralph said as he walked away, unaware that Cisco had secretly taken a sample of his DNA.
Later on that day, Cisco was standing in an abandoned alleyway when Barry sped up to him.
"Okay dude, what is so important that I needed to get here so quickly?" Barry asked.
"I think DeVoe busted Thawne out of the speed force." Cisco said.
"What. Why would you say that?" Barry asked.
"Because Ralph came into work late today and I asked him about it and he said that he had to take the bus both this morning and last night and the bus he was on last night was the 405 bus." Cisco said.
"Okay, but that still doesn't prove anything." Barry said, trying to deny it.
"I know, but Ralph also said that basically the exact same thing that happened to him the first time happened again, only this time, he saw red lightning. The reason I called you here is because I'm going to vibe the area and you need to see it to." Cisco said.
"You know a part of me is hoping you're wrong." Barry said.
"Believe me, so do I." Cisco said as he placed his hand on the wall of the alley and grabbed Barry's hand, sending them into a vibe to watch the events that happened the previous night.
"Reign." Barry said when they'd exited the vibe.
"Isn't that the same worldkiller who beat Kara senseless?" Cisco asked.
"Twice. And now she's likely working with Thawne and got tech from DeVoe." Barry said.
"But why would she go to him in the first place?" Cisco asked.
"It looks like your efforts didn't work and DeVoe has become the Thinker again. He likely intends to use Reign and Thawne to distract us from his plans." Barry said.
"But he doesn't know that we're already onto him." Cisco said.
"Exactly. What about Ralph, did you test his DNA?" Barry asked.
"Yep, he's a meta." Cisco confirmed.
"Well, at least Elongated Man will return." Barry said.
"Yeah and considering we're about to go up against two of mine and Kara's greatest enemies, we're going to need all the help we can get. I just hope Mon-El and his legion stick around." Barry said and Cisco nodded in agreement.
Nia had just arrived at her family's home in Parthas, since she needed to talk to her mother about her dreams, since she needed to know if what she thought was happening really was happening.
"Nia, I was surprised to get your call." Isabel Nal said when she opened the door to hug her younger daughter.
"Hi mom." Nia said with a smile.
"How is Central City?" Isabel asked.
"It's good. I've got a great job, friends, I even have a boyfriend." Nia said.
"Really and does he?" Isabel asked.
"Yes, he knows that I'm both half alien and a transgender woman and he doesn't care." Nia said.
"Well then I'm happy for you. But what brings you here?" Isabel asked.
"Lately, I've been having dreams." Nia said.
"Dreams." Isabel said.
"Yeah and I was wondering if it was possible that somehow, I'd inherited your gift." Nia said and Isabel smiled.
"Well, it is possible. But your sister will be jealous when she finds out." Isabel said.
"Can you please just help me confirm it, because if I have inherited your powers, I want to learn how to use them to help people." Nia said and Isabel smiled.
"Come with me." Isabel said with a smile as she led her daughter up to her old room.
"What are we doing here?" Nia asked.
"Just trust me." Isabel said as she took Nia's hands in her own and suddenly they found themselves in some sort of dream world.
"What is this place?" Nia asked.
"It's the dreamscape. Only those with our gift can access it and you have. Congratulations Nia. I always thought that Maeve would be the one to inherit my gift." Isabel said.
"Because she was actually born a girl, I know. But I have so many questions." Nia said as they returned to the real world.
"And I will be happy to answer them." Isabel said with a smile.
