THREE:

Freedom

The girl spotted a pair of glasses she had made in the past. The cool ones that she originally made for Caitlin. She picked them up to use as a way to distract herself. Bibiana was nervous to tell Cisco what had happened. What caused her to stay in China longer. It didn't help that Barry was in a medical bed, recovering from the strange meta.

"It was supposed to be only two weeks," Bibiana admitted. Her eyes carefully examined the technology that she had first created. They stood in a room where they built things together in the past. "Two weeks and I was to return home. But the day before my flight... I was in my temporary room getting ready to pack when it hit me. I was going home to face the reality of everything. We lost friends, Barry was blaming everything on himself, Caitlin left to join Mercury, and everything wasn't the same. It was too much that I stayed in China with Kai. My Ye died a few days before we left. He gave us gifts and advice before his passing."

"Wow, Bibiana... I'm sorry," said Cisco. The look that Bibiana gave him, told him that she didn't want his pity. "Does Barry know?"

"Uhh..."

A phone went off causing them to move their attention to it. Cisco took out his phone and had a surprised face. Confusion was written all over Bibiana's face before her phone went off. She took out her IPhone and saw that Barry was calling her. She wondered when he had woke up. Did Joe wake him up with Poker Face?

"My dad. He might get set free!" Barry informed Bibiana with excitement.

"That's good news, Barry!" Bibiana replied with an equal tone of excitement. "How though?"

"Wells confessed. Caitlin and I will show you the video once we get to STAR Labs," Barry answered before he hung up.

Bibiana looked over at Cisco who looked at her with surprise.

"I just got off the phone with Caitlin. Apparently, Wells confessed and Barry's dad might get set free," Cisco explained.

"Barry told me the same thing."

Caitlin awkwardly patted Bibiana on the back whilse they hugged. The second that Bibiana had spotted Caitlin, she had attacked her in a hug. It was became awkward the second Caitlin had patted her back. They had to pull apart at that moment. Which was seconds before Joe and Barry had entered the room.

"Is it good news?" Iris asked. They had all watched the video of Wells confessing to the murder of Nora Allen. Joe and Barry had stepped in the hall eariler to see if Barry's dad was going to be released from prison. Now that they were back, they wanted answers.

"I think so," Barry replied with a smile. This caused Bibiana to smile since Barry was happy.

"Henry's coming home?" Iris questioned. She squealed before she hugged her best friend and went to stand somewhere else.

"Okay, well... that still leaves the Atom Smasher to deal with," Barry announced.

"Last time you faced him, it did not go well," Stein stated.

"You were in another hosptial bed," Bibiana elaborated. She kept forgetting that she still had alot of talking to do with Barry. Maybe it was because she wished things were like how they were before.

"No, it did not go so well. And yes, yes I did," Barry replied. "I clearly can't stop him by myself. So how are we going to beat him?"

"Well, ever since I was shown the radiation tag, which I haven't been abe to stop thinking about," Caitlin confessed. She cast a look over at Cisco. "Thank you, Cisco."

"You're welcome, Caitlin," Cisco replied.

"If this guy likes radiation so much, I say we give it too him," Caitlin finished her explaination.

Bibiana stood there and thought about Caitlin's words. It reminded her of the time that Barry and her lost their powers. She remembered being so helpless and scared. That wasn't a fun time. Now that she did have her power, she's willing to do anything to help people. Ronnie and Eddie had shown her that there's ultimate price to pay.

"Sounds alot like Blackout," Bibiana commented. She rubbed her hands togher and smiled. "So what's the plan?"

"That light is awesome," Bibiana said in her headset. She hid in the shadows, waiting for the Flash and the Atom Smasher.

"Hey, Bibiana... Which comic had that Flash signal?" Cisco asked.

"Uhh... It had something to do with a bat and a man. But I think the signal was called the Bat signal," Bibiana answered. "His name was Batdude or Boom-man."

"Batman sounds better. Isn't there one in- Hold up. Barry is about three seconds away so I'll shh," Cisco informed her.

Electric Storm dropped her arm away from her ear and payed close attention. The tight suit was a distraction but she fouced on the red blur. Before she could whisper anything, the Atom Smasher busted into the building causing Bibiana to take a small hop back. She watched Barry lure Atom Smasher into the radiation room.

That was her cue. Her body turned into eletricity and appeared that room. She noticed Barry running out in which she rested her hand on the wall. A large surge of purple energy left her body and into the room. Stein had explained that the radiation of her phone had affected her eletricity since day one. Which meant that her eletricity had laces of radiation.

"Bibiana. You can stop now," Caitlin told her.

Bibiana let her hand rest for a second before she dropped it. Cisco spoke words which she didn't undersand since she was looking at her reflection. It really wasn't her... It was more like Ronnie's face smiling at her. She could feel tears swelling up in her eyes. Seeing her friend again was something she wanted to happen. Especially if it meant seeing Caitlin with the love of her life.

The image of Ronnie shimmered into Ronnie and Caitlin. They stood side by side with a baby in Caitlin's arms. A shaky breath escaped Bibiana's lips when she saw Eddie and Iris join them with a small boy. Her heart ached to see her friends with their love ones and their future children. Now they won't have that. Iris may have the future of marrying Kai but with time travel in the loop... It was possible that could all change.

"Bibiana," Barry said. His voice brought Bibiana back to reality. The image had changed back to herself. Her skin had turned a shade paler and she had a frigthened facial expression. "Are you okay?"

"Yeah," Bibiana whispered.

Barry knew everything wasn't fine. With Bibiana hiding feelings and now a Zoom. Nothing was fine.

Bibiana held onto her cup of warm tea as she stared at the door. She was at Joe's house waiting for Barry to arrive with his father. Who was realsed from prison free of charge. Her thoughts were somewhere else before she snapped her attention to her tea. They say that your tea leafs can show your future. Obviously, she didn't know how to read tea leafs since she hasn't studied them. But she did know it was going to be a rough year.

"Have you talked with Barry yet?" Iris asked. She had moved so she was standing right beside Bibiana.

"No," Bibiana answered. That's what she has been advoiding. Barry had stopped by her house once but only Kai was there. She was at one of Central City's colleges looking into what she had saw and too call Lace without Kai knowing. But Kai had informed her that Barry looked really down when he found out Bibiana wasn't home.

"You should do it soon," Iris told her. There was a knock on the door, which caused her to go and opened it. Bibiana stood in her spot and knew it was going to happen soon. With a sigh, she looked at the door to see who it was. There stood her younger brother who was smiling at Iris.

"You have such a wonderful house," Kai told Iris. "But is Bibiana here? Also, I'm Kai Solace."

"Iris West," Iris responded. "Thank you and Bibiana is ten steps behind me. Come in."

Kai walked into the house and walked over to Bibiana.

"She's cute," Kai whispered.

"What are you doing here?" Bibiana asked. She didn't want to go into detail about how she once had a small crush on Iris before seeing her as a friend.

"There was a note on the fridge saying you were going to a party," Kai answered. "I don't want you to you know spark out. Also, free food."

The door opened and Barry and his dad walked in. Everyone reacted fast and yelled, "Welcome home!"

Everyone cheered before the greetings started. Barry gave Kai a handshake, Bibiana a hug before he went to Cisco and Caitlin. Henery hugged Joe and Iris before giving Bibiana a hug.

"Remind me to tell you baby Barry stories," Henery whispered in her ear.

A small laugh escaped her lips. When they pulled apart, Bibiana made a beeline for the cake. Slices of cake, wine, and hugs were exchanged during the party. Cisco even got a police badge during the celebration.

Bibiana was on her sixth piece of cake while laughing with Cisco and Caitlin. She shifted her attention off her friends and onto Stein, who was starting a toast.

"Gather around, everyone, please," Stein announced. Everyone gathered around, even Kai who only knew about half the people. "Looking at all of you, thinking how far we've all come, and remembering those who are no longer with us." A small frown appeared on Bibiana's face. "I'm reminded of a Hebrew word used during times of graduation. Kadima. It means, forward. Forward."

Everyone raised their glasses of wine and repeated the one word. Forward. Bibiana clinked her glass with Kai.

"Well said," Joe told Stein.

"Thank you," Stein replied.

Everyone went back to their own conversations. Kai pulled Bibiana by the fire place and looked her straight in the eyes.

"Fix your relationship before I enroll you into a class where you learn about spiders and have to touch them," Kai stated. The color drained out of Bibiana's face at the mention of the creatures that she hated. "Before you ask why. It's tiring to see you cast a sad puppy look towards Barry during this party. Also, you kinda sparked a little infront of Iris."

"I'm working on talking to Barry and everyone here knows my secret," Bibiana said. Kai was shocked with the new information. He was really shocked by Bibiana but it was from science, not her powers.

"Ow!" Kai let out. "Why did you do that? I'm telling mom."

Cisco and Caitlin tutned to look at the Solace siblings.

"I didn't shock him. It was friction this time," Bibiana answered. She rose her hands in the air before she went to get a water.

"Ohh, this feels nice," Bibiana commented.

She was trying out a new suit that Cisco had made her. Her suit appeared alot like Spider-Man's suit, except it was purple and black. Also, she didn't have the full face mask or the gloves or the web design. The suit was also much looser... It was basically all leather that could resist her eletricity. She also had black boots that went nicely with the suit and had enough space to hide things in. Not to mention she had a belt where she could keep her guns and snacks. On the top of her right chest was the bolt except it was different now. Three purple bolts were on the circle. The middle bolt was larger than the other too. The background was white, similar to Barry's new emblem.

Speaking of Barry and his suit, she was sure he was back by now. Bibiana zapped herself out of the bathroom and into the cortex.

"Re-coded, double firewalled, electronic lock set," Cisco explained. Bibiana quickly figured they were talking about secruity. "Nothing is getting through here without us knowing. Thanks to Bibiana and I."

"So people can't just waltz in and out of here," Iris stated.

"Exactly," Cisco replied.

"Nice suit," Barry commented. He had noiced how different Bibiana's suit was. It appeared like the suit was no longer trying to kill her.

"Thanks," Bibiana smiled. Suddenly, Barry remembered something. He quickly sped out of the cortex and returned with a box.

He opened it and took out a new mask. It was purple and covered the top half of a face. It was alot like her old one exceept it had a touch of black. Barry placed it on Bibiana's face and watched as she quickly laced it with eletricity. He smiled and now hoped she would talk to him soon.

A man enetered the room which caught everyones's attention. Joe took out his gun and Bibiana did the same. They pointed it towards the guy and glared.

"For reals?" Cisco whinned.

"Stay where you are," Joe told the guy.

"Who are you?" Barry asked.

"You don't know me, but I know you... Barry Allen," the guy answered. This guy said something similar to what the Reverse-Flash had once said. It caused Bibiana to know something bad was going to happen.

"Take one more step, it'll be your last step," Joe told the man. "The man asked you a question. Who the hell are you?"

"My name is Jay Garrick, and your world is in danger," Jay told them.

"When is it not?" Bibiana asked with a glare.
