Varity was with Cisco and Caitlin while Barry was helping the police with a getaway car. It been one whole week since the incident with Stark and Mick. "The drivers went right um and left."

"Guys which way? " Barry ask them confused.

"Right."

"Left."

"Left?"

"Right?"

"You guys know your telling me two different things."

Harrison came after hearing them bicker, "Barry listen up, listen carefully this what your going to do now queen are trying to make it to the bridge. I have a shortcut way for it and left, left, right make her go west before Freemont."

"Okay how?"

"Were going to make a detour. King is heading for entrance to the interstate."

"One entrance."

"I didn't know human pac man was a thing if so I want a try." Varity control a car through a controller in her hand. Cisco and Caitlin look at her confused. "She use to drag race in her teenage rebellious stage." Her father explain. She smirk proudly, "Check mate!" The three driver were rounded. Barry then flash in as Cisco and him high-five. Varity place the controller on the desk.

"Inefficiently done Mr. Allen." Harrison spoke. "We need a picture." Cisco ran to get his phone. "I'm pretty sure rule number one of having a secret identity is not to take pictures of your self as a superhero without your mask on." Varity lean against Barry looking at Cisco. "Oh come-on please this is just for us just to document all this." She look toward her father. "Who knows maybe the future will want to know how all this happen." Wells agreed as the two woman stood shock. "All right then if it the whole story then we all need to be in it." Barry fist bump Cisco.

"First let me put up on some make up."

"Me too." Varity replied. "The future does not care about your make up." Varity gasp and Barry agree with him. "Rude."

They all gather around Wells as Varity bent down to her father level. "Big smiles 3-2-1." Barry then flash in the picture. "Does the count as a selfie?" Caitlin ask. "Absolutely." Barry responded as she laugh. She went to Cisco to see the photo. Barry came over to them while Varity was admiring herself. "Cisco if you crop my body and sell it for money I'm going to murder you."

"Don't worry I can't at least I would get your signature." Varity rolled her eyes playfully and look at Barry who been looking down at her the whole time. "Barry do you want to tell me something?" She question curious. "That my cue to leave." She raise and eyebrow at Cisco as he left. She turn her attention toward Barry. "I was wondering if you would want to come over for dinner with me and Joe."

She smiled as her heart flutter. "Did you tell Joe?"

"Yes."

"Okay I'll come let me tell my dad." She smiled to herself walking toward her father explaining she was going to have dinner with the West family. She walk over to Barry who has his arm extended toward her linking arms together heading out.

"So what is this about being a drag racer?" She laugh at his comment, "Teenager me was the definition of good girl gone rouge."

⚡❤⚡

Varity walk in with Barry and saw Iris. She walk toward Iris and gave her a hug. "You know moving out is not being home anymore right." She pulled away standing next to her. "Ha-ha-ha I forgot a few things." She look toward Barry. "So how is living back in the house."

"Wait you move back?" She look to him.

Joe then walk in "Hey Barr, hey Varity." She waved a small hello standing next to Barry. He look to Iris. "Spaghetti on me are you sure you don't want to stay for dinner?"

"Italian food is always a good way to a girl heart." Varity implied. "Thanks but Eddie is painting all day and I swore I would help. Although I'm just going to do that thing were I get a little paint on my hair and my nose." Varity whisper in her ear. "Wear one of his white shirts and make sure get some paint on your thighs." Varity pulled away from her ear and wiggle her eyebrows as Iris grin.

"Hey someone from central city picture news call you the other day and I left the memo on the fridge." Joe said to Iris. "What why didn't you tell me!?"

"Chill just did." Iris then walk over to the fridge in a hurry.

"Hey I heard some members of the royal are heading to prison."

Iris then let out a scream. "Is that a good scream or bad?" Joe ask to Iris as she walk in. "So good I just got offer a job as a reporter and Central City picture news. "

"That awesome Iris." Barry hug her. "The editors are a fan of my blog."

"That is amazing."

"Oh god..." Joe whisper lowly.

⚡❤⚡

Later on Varity got a call from her father in the morning saying he was attack. She try to rush in but the officer wouldn't let her. "I'm his daughter, Varity Wells." She took out her ID as they let her pass.

The door open by itself as she enter seeing Joe, Barry, Caitlin and Cisco. She look around nervously. She caught her father eyes as she immediately pull him into a hug. He hug her back. "Varity it okay I'm fine a little chilly but fine."

"No your not fine the windows and ceiling are scattered and you could of gotten hurt." She pulled away looking at her father. "It fine Varity I'm going to make a hotel reservation."

"No don't, you can stay with me. I have a penthouse dad and your my father let me do this for you, please." He look at her sighing. He gave in to her pouty expression. "Now I'm going to help you pack." She avoided the glass walking to her father room.

As she walk in she notice the picture of him and her mother with her between the two. She pick up the frame between her hands gazing as a pain expression was written on her face. She let out a shaky side before facing the frame the other way.

⚡❤⚡

Varity drop off his bags and made sure to clean up.

She walk in seeing Hartley Rathaway on the monitor. She approach toward the middle of the room. "Why are we talking about Hartley?"

"Hartley is the one who-" Cisco was cut off by her father. "Hartley said he wanted to help after the incident was in the news."

"But didn't you both had a disagreement that one time?"

"Yeah but he seem to come around. " She hum with a smirk on her face. "Okay, I should thank him." She turn around and was about to dial his phone number when Barry grab snatch her phone. She frowned. "Barry what was that for?" She try to reach up for her phone jumping up. "He said no phone calls." She gave up crossing her arms huffing. "You could of just told me I'll text him just a simple thank you." "No texts either." She sighed. "Then I'll do it the old fashion way and meet him in person."

"Actually, Varity I need you to stay and help me do some research." Her father look at her as she look at him. "Well you could of just said that I felt like you guys where trying to hide something." She chuckled as everyone was truly hiding something.

⚡❤⚡

She decided she needed a break from researching and grab her phone the Barry accidently left on the counter. She decided to text Hartley even if they told her no.

She switch her phone off and order her usual heading off to meet the team. As she enter Star labs there stood Barry, Hartley, Cisco and Caitlin. "You guys have explaining to do... why do you have my best friend in handcuffs?" Cisco grab Hartley and told him to stay in front of him.

Varity look at Barry hurt as he lied to her then storm of to find her father but as she try she didn't find him. She was pretty sure he was hiding from her wrath. She went back to the cortex sitting at the monitors while Cisco and Caitlin were talking in Spanish to Hartley. "So who going to explain why my best friend is in a cell? I know he butted heads with everyone but he doesn't deserve to be in a cell." She tap on the monitor.

"Hartley is the on who broke you dad windows and glass."

"What? Hartley wouldn't do that... he couldn't." She trail off. Wells came in to talk to Hartley giving his daughter a glance as a frown was set in her face. "That was for you, Flash and Varity, it feel good to have the great Harrison Wells behind you, doesn't it? But one day this man will turn on you in a flash and even you won't see it coming. I only hope he leave you in better shape then he leaves me especially you Varity. If your lucky you only be dead because everyday I have to live with the agonizing piercing screaming in my ears.

"H-He was affected." She stutter wide eyed. Her father came in. "I assume you were all listening Hartley was telling the truth I have not been honest with any of you. The accelerator, Hartley warn me was indeed a chance it could explode. The accelerator did not show 100 percent certainly. There was a risk a real risk and yet I made the decision that the reward that everything we could learn that everything we could achieve that all of that would simply out weigh that risk, I'm sorry."

Her frown deepened at his words. "The next time you chose what our lives and the lives that the people we love at risk I'll expect a head up." Caitlin walk off then Cisco. "After the explosion we stood by you Caitlin and Cisco, your own flesh and blood stood by you. You old them more then a apology." She look at father the took out card key to access her house and gave it to my dad. She walk away heading to her car.

Barry called her name. She turned around stopping in her tracks.

He stop in front of her pulling her into a hug as she slip the keys out of her hands holding on to him. "I s-should of known." He caught her keys placing them in his pockets. He pulled away from her wiping her tears as her cheeks were red with flush. "How about we go to Jitters together?"

"Anything just please get my mind of this." She spoke quietly.

⚡❤⚡

The two were at Jitters siting quietly as she rested her head on his shoulder while taking a sip of her drink.

Iris came and saw the two sitting and sulking. "No no no I am having the worse day ever, we three can't be having the worse day ever, okay? I was really looking forward to complaining." Iris sat across them. Varity sniffle. "You still can fire away."

"Okay turn out the real reason they hired me because they think I have some sort of connection to the flash which I don't, not anymore and I been teamed up with Mason Bridge who was a legend who I admired before he told me I was worthless talentless millennial." Varity grab her phone and looking at Iris.

"Should I publicly ruined his career or confront a different paparazzi or writer." Barry took her phone out of her hands as she cross her arms.

"Neither." He look down at her then back to Iris. "People we always admired are who we like them to be."

"Well so I'm screw." Iris look down to the table worried. "No look if this Mason guy dosn't see what a talented journalist you are then he probably a lousy writer."

"He won a politzer...twice I think."

"Oh crap." Barry responded as the two lady's chuckled. "Thanks Barry and Varity having someone believe in me."

"If you still want me to ever ruined his career you know who to call...once Barry give me my phone back." Varity pick up her cup placing the opening to her lips her eyes sparkling. Barry rolled his eyes while Iris chuckled.

Iris left to get a drink. Varity close her eyes as her head pounded. She open her eyes as ringing fill her ear. Barry pick up the phone answer it he then immediately close it grabing her and droping her off with Caitlin.

She held on to the desk so she wouldn't trip over her feet as she stumble around her sight blurry. An image came to her head of Cisco laying on the floor next to Hartley looking down at him. "Cisco!" She bolted off to where he was.

⚡❤⚡

Cisco layed on the hospital bed as Varity was right next to him looking down at him worriedly. Barry gave her shoulder a squeeze. He started fluttering his eyes open. "Rise and shine sleeping beauty." Varity spoke softly smiling down at him. Cisco slowly sat up calling Caitlin name.

"She fine."

Caitlin walk over, "You need to rest you have a concussions your lucky." "Please tell me you got him." Cisco said as he look at Barry. He shook his head.

Varity frowned "He use us so he could get direct access to Star Labs."

"Should of know he was us to something this is my fault."

"Hey man this is my fault as well I shouldn't have left before-" Barry got cut off by Wells. "This ain't anyone fault but mine. I am to blame and am not interested in sharing it. Hartley dosn't have to pay for my crimes he right. He won't stop until I do." Wells then started to turn around. "Where you going?" Barry look at him with an eyebrow raise.

"To earn back your trust."

⚡❤⚡

Varity walk into the central police station as Barry notified her she needed to be there. She saw a podium with her father. News reporters and paparazzi gather around him. Varity search around to see Barry leaving into a corner of a room watching from afar. She quickly avoided paparazzi and news heading towards him.

"Barry what is he doing?" She stood next to him. Crossing his arms he look at Wells "He gaining are trust back." She turn her attention toward her father.

He told the reporters how he ignore the warnings about the Particle Accelerater which led him failing the people and the city and he fail the people who trusted him the most. He hope talking about the incident would gain people trust back. He ask for any questions.

The stuck up jerk who work with Iris ask Wells if he plans to rebuild or has any attention in the future to build the particle accelerator but he ignore him and ask Iris if she had any questions. She responded, "I don't believe you answer my colleagues question Dr.Wells so I'll ask it again do you have any intention of rebuilding the particle accelerator either now or in the future."

"Of course not." Harrison responded.

"Thank you for your answer Dr.Wells."

"It my pleasure."

⚡❤⚡

Wells was talking to the group how Hartley would come back while Varity went toward the nearest chair and took her heels off. "Cisco you should be resting." Barry said as he had a determine face. "The answer why Hartley fool us is in here and I'm going to find it." Cisco then walk of toward a different direction.

She got up and made her way to Cisco as her feet patter on the surface. She slowly back hug him and rested her head. Harrison then interupted ."You have nothing to prove."

"Not true."

"Do you know why I hired you Cisco?"

"You said you saw something in me. I know."

"What I saw was humanity. You and Hartley are brilliant you both have sparks. But his brilliance experience working here was your brilliance, heart, warmth your humor it just add to it. There no chosen one Cisco there no second or third favorite never was. It just us."

Noises then came out of no where. She pull away from Cisco. "What that?" Sparks shot out from the ceiling. Hartley started speaking.

"Nice scandal Harrison but this isn't over."

"Hartley what do you want! Hartley I already gave the truth away."

"You don't think I notice the press conference was a pathetic word of sacrifice. No, no, no, I play with you to many times to get away with that. This is between you, me and the flash."

"You don't want to play with those kind of stakes with me Harley."

"Actually I really do. Want do you say? One last game of chess."

"We all both name that the winner of the game is the one who has mistaken you clearly have a move in mind."

"Your right and I'm already at the board so why don't you move your precious Scarlett Knight while I take out a few pawns."

"We are so not best friends anymore Hartley!" Varity yelled out.

⚡❤⚡

Cisco was trying to get Hartley signal while Wells help him out. Varity lean against the wall rubbing her temples groaning. She saw Hartley blasting cars with his device on a bridge full of people. She open her eyes immediately started speaking "Bridge, Hartley, People."

"Cleveland damn." They said as they look on the map while Caitlin help her sit down. Wells was guiding Barry through the intercoms as per usual."Barry you need to disarm Hartley immediately he a master of distraction and a master of hiding his true end game."

"Hah! Uh oh..." Cisco said as he walk to the computer was looking at the information in the drive Hartley stolen. "I figure out what Hartley stole from Star Labs why he get himself get caught."
