Varity walk into Star Labs seeing Cisco with a lollipop tuck in side of his mouth while talking into the com. She stood by the entry way viewing the scene in front of her. Cisco let out a groan of disapproval. "What? Did I miss it?" Barry question. "You overshot by six blocks." Cisco spoke still not noticing her in the background. Barry replied "My bad." Cisco question shifting his lollipop to the other corner of his mouth. "You there yet?" Caitlin stood by her as she shrug her shoulders. "I only been here for a minute and I have no idea what happening." Caitlin spoke clear and loud making the two known. "What are you doing?" She stood in front of him with her arms cross. Cisco shifted turning off all the computer screens and turn back replying "Nothing" as his lip tremble with fear. "Who are you talking to?" Caitlin raise an eyebrow. "No one" He gulp as his Adam apple bob. Varity smile at him playing innocent. "Are you talking to Barry?" She tilted her head. He look back at her. "Who?"
"Barry Allen? Struck by lighting? Was in a coma for nine months? Woke up being able to run faster than the speed of sound? Ring a bell?" Caitlin gave a stern stare as Cisco shifted nervously.
"Cisco if your lying to me and Caitlin you know what comes next and it ain't going to be the sweet Varity you know." She gave a wicked smile that had his legs trembling. "Haven't talked to him" Cisco squeak out. The com wasn't mute as Barry voice came through. "Cisco, there's fire everywhere! Cisco, are you still there?" She gave Cisco a stern look. "Liar"
"Never mind everybody out and safe, what else do you got for me Cisco?" Varity turn on the mic while Cisco look like a guilty puppy. "Barry, its me and Caitlin"
"Hey...,Varity and Caitlin. How's your day?" Caitlin took the mic. "Get back to S.T.A.R labs now."
"On my way." Barry spoke while gulping at Caitlin harsh tone. Varity and Caitlin look at Cisco and he gave them a tight lip smile."Have you both lost your minds? Who do you think you are?" Caitlin said looking between the two. "Well, I'm the eyes and ears, and he the feet." Varity let out small smile at his humor. "This isn't funny. You could of gotten yourself killed. You can't be running around the city like some supersonic fireman." Caitlin exclaimed. "Why not? This is what we talked about, Me using my speed to do good."
"No we talked about you helping us contain other people who might have been affected by the particle accelerator explosion. Meta-humans and aside from Clyde Mardon, we haven't found any."
"People in this city still need help and I can help them."
"We can help them" Cisco added in. "Will you please say something?" Caitlin said to my father as he enter. "I think what Caitlin is saying in her own spectacularly angry, angry way is that we are just beginning to understand what your body is capable of. Not to sound like a broken record, Mr.Allen but I do caution restraint."
"Dr. Wells I doubt restraint is how you got to be the man you are today." He look at him. "In a wheelchair and a pariah. Lack of restraint is what made me these things. You need to know your limits." Caitlin gave him a stern stare. "Don't expect me to patch you up every time you break something. Varity might because she a kind soul but I won't." Caitlin look at Varity then Barry one last time before walking away.

"Hey, uh...anything happen out there today? The sensors in the suit were kicking back some weird telemetry like your vitals spiked for a few seconds." Cisco ask Barry
"Never felt better." Barry replied brushing the subject off. Barry got a phone call as Varity headed toward Cisco. "Now you Mr.Ramon you are getting a punishment. No hugs for today and good luck kisses or even smiles from me." Cisco frown clasping her hands."No, no, I will make it up to you. I will buy you chocolate." She gave a small smirk "...I'm listening." He smile yelling yes in victory. He gave her a hug as she returned it. "Your lucky that I love Chocolate Cisco Ramon."
Barry then left to to work."When do you think he realize he didn't take his clothes?" Wells question. Varity let out an adorable laugh as they both smiled at her.
She received a call from Iris. "Excuse me, Hey, Iris how can I help you?" She spoke walking away from the two still giggling. "I was wondering if you would like to come with me and Barry to a University. Simon Stagg is getting a big reward and I thought it would be more fun if you came along. Plus you might help me get a statement from him."
"Sure I would love too anything to help you out, seen you soon." She look towards her father. "I'm going out in a little so I'm going to head home and get ready." She place a kiss on the cheek. "Be safe!"
"No promises!"

"I find it quite remarkable having once been a timid freshman at Central City University, to be standing before you now, the regents for a man of the year. While I very much appreciate the award, the real honor for me is knowing that my work in organ transference helps give people a second chance at life. Thank you very much for coming." Varity enter late since paparazzi cover the door and the security had to help her in. It didn't help that she was very noticeable with her red Lamborghini. Claps erupted when she enter.
Simon Stagg look at her suggestively as she made an entrance. Right then and there she knew she over dress but at least this gave her chance to get a statement for Iris. She spotted Iris and Barry from the distance heading over. "Hi guys, sorry I'm late the paparazzi wouldn't let me enter and the security try to get me in as best as they can. Barry gawk at her figure she was stunning. "Iris you look beautiful and Barry your quite handsome."
"You look stunning now I know why your a model, and it's no problem." Iris reassure her. "Um...you look beautiful Varity." Barry blush looking to the floor rubbing the back of his neck you could say he was still stun. A caterer approach them with a wine tray. Iris took two wine glasses for her and Barry. "Thank you sir." She received a nod from him. "Are journalists allowed to drink on the job?" Iris question with a smirk on her face the two girls giggle with each other.
"Okay if you were bored already just wait till we get to cellular regeneration." Barry grab the glasses from her hand putting them down on the nearest table.
"I have missed this, Barry. I feel like we haven't spent any quality time together since you woke up from the coma." They all stop in are tracks. "Yeah, I've had a crazy few weeks." Barry look at Varity. She gave him a little smile making his heart flutter she was adorable. "I thought maybe you been avoiding me because of Eddie. I know you think it's wrong, me dating my dad's partner, and I just-" Iris got cut off the two. Varity and Barry both said "No that is not it. At all." They both look at each other wide eyed. Stagg walk pass as Iris follow right behind ignoring the two. "Oh, oh Mr.Stagg I was wondering if I could get a quote from you for my article." Iris spoke quickly as he was about to exit.

Varity walk over to him sensing he was going to brush her away. "Yeah it be very useful for me and my partner since your the man of the year. I was wondering if you could give us a chance to express how great you are, and of course the changes you contributed to this community for people to see you as a hero like I see you." She flutter her eyes toward him having experienced of getting her way. What can you say she was one of a kind."Not now miss." The body guard spoke as she pouted.
Mr.Stagg cut him "Hold up now I think I can do this for them." She gave him a flirty smirk as he agreed. "I may not be the timid freshman now but many people are and I know I can't help everyone but I can help people feel not timid with my work of organ transference. Without you people too I wouldn't be here so thank you."
He lean into her ear whispering "Here my number." He place his business card in her hand. She flutter her eyes at him when he left she let out a gag. Iris look shock at her. "How did you learn how to do that? She question. "Well I took a little bit of improv class and I always had to meet my dad business partners." She shiver in disgust. "He just gave me his number. Hopefully he doesn't remember my face." They all laughed as Iris gave Vairty a hug while thanking her.
"So what were you gonna tell me, you looked like you were about to say something." Iris told Barry. "Yeah-"
There conversation was interrupted again as gun shots were heard and screaming. Everyone duck down as a guy then got push in the center. "Quiet down! All of you! Quiet!" The intruder yelled. Everyone went silent. "How considerate you're all wearing your finest jewelry. Almost like you knew we were coming to rob you! Now everybody line up."
She line up with Barry and Iris at her side and threw my jewelry in the bag. "Boss we have the famous Varity here." The boss grab her arm and stroke her cheek. "Your worth more then any jewelry."
"If you touch me again your gonna regret being birth." She stood her ground giving him a glare.Iris had to hold Barry back so he wouldn't do anything to the intruder. "I would give you a kiss but I can't let you risk seeing my face." He push her into Barry as he caught her in his arms. "You okay?" Barry ask looking down at her as she nodded quickly.
A security officer ran over yelling "Freeze!" All six men raise there weapons the poor man started trembling."Dro-Drop your weapons." The officer stuttered realizing how bad his odds were. They all shot but Barry got the man out of harm way. The other men's ran out.
Varity follow them but as she approach the car she saw Barry slump by a garbage can. She rub her hands together. "I'm so sorry Barry please forgive me." She slap his face as he woke up with a start holding his face. "Did you just slap me?" He look up at her as she responded with "Uh..."
"Barry!" Iris ran over. He was still on the floor. "Barry! What happen? Are you okay?" He stood up with the help of Varity. "Yeah, yeah I'm fine. I went after them and try to get the plates and I-I fainted." He look between the two. They all enter back at the scene while she link his right arm with his making sure he was okay. They headed toward Detective Joe and Eddie"Hi."Iris spoke shyly looking at Eddie with googly eyes. "Iris." Eddie gave a smiled.
"Where were you?" Joe look at all of them. "Dad go easy I found him outside. He fainted." She clutch his arm signaling she got this . "He still going through the effects being struck by lighting." She look at him. "You have ease up on pushing yourself." Vairty explain hoping they didn't sense her lie. "You want me to get you a paramedic Allen?" Eddie replied believing her as she sigh internally. "No I'm fine thanks Eddie" Barry responded.
"Let me talk to Varity and Barry for a second." Joe spoke as Eddie and Iris walk away together. "You chase those gunman didn't you?" Joe look knowingly as Varity look at her heels wincing. "Yeah. They must be the same guys that knocked over the gun shop earlier today."
"And what were you going to do when you caught them? Huh? Ask them nicely to pull over? Your not bullet proof. Wait are you?"
"No but-"
"No more heroics. Chasing bad guys is not your job it's mine. Your not a cop. Promise me." He hesitated but gave in. "I promise."
"And you know Iris is not stupid. Start making better excuses than I fainted." He was about to walk away when he look at Varity. "Watch him."
"Yes sir." She responded. He finally walk back to the scene. She turn look to look at Barry. "Your going to get a speech when we go back to S.T.A.R labs. Now come on before the paparazzi crowd us."
"I could use my speed." Barry offered. "Barry you just pass out so we are going to take my car and go to S.T.A.R labs until we can figure out what happened. It's for your own good." She smile at him as he frowned. "Now stop being sad and think of the great ride we are gonna have in my car." He smile at her humor.

"You lied to us how could you not tell us you're experiencing dizzy spells? We're your doctor's. God knows what's going on inside your body. Your cells are in a constant state of flux. You could be experiencing cardiopulmonary failure or a transient ischemic attack." Caitlin spoke frustrated. Barry look at Wells confuse at Varity sat next to him on the medical bed "Mini stroke, probably not."
"You of all people should know that in science, we share, we do not keep secrets." She walk away fuming. "Wow... I haven't seen anyone make her angry since Ronnie." Cisco look at Barry. "Ronnie was Caitlin fiance? The one that died the night of the accelerator explosion?"
"Yeah he is...missed." Wells spoke carefully with words as his daughter was in the room. "Now let's figure out why is this happening to you."
She got up giving Barry a new shirt. "Here I thought you wanna change. I know it uncomfortable trust me I'm still wearing my dress and heels but lucky for me, I store clothing in my trunk." He took the clothing in one hand as she was going to walk off he grab her wrist gently. "Barry?" She whisper as she look her wrist then him. Her eyes held confusion. "I wanted to say thank you. You haven't been really yelling at me for the mistakes I've done, you just been caring. Even if you didn't have to." Barry gaze gently at her. "Your welcome but you don't have to thank me it's just what I do." She gave him a smile before walking off he look down at the shirt in his hands with a soft smile.

A little padding, just in case." Cisco look to Barry pointing at the boxes against the wall."Yeah , are you sure about this, Cisco?" Barry question he was a little worried. "Most home treadmills have a maximum speed of about 12 miles per hour. This one has been Cisco'ed trust me it can handle your speed." He pat his shoulder with a smirk. He sigh "Okay." And enter the treadmill starting to run.
"Heart rate, blood pressure, nerve conduction all normal" Caitlin look at the monitor in front of her. "For Barry" Harrison added. "Brainwave function within standard limits."
Cisco chuckled "I told you the treadmill could take it." "Your such a dork which just make you more lovable." Varity hug Cisco. "Also were my Chocolate?" He tense at that question as he eyes gleam with mischief.
"Caitlin look at the glucose levels." Harrison pointed out "Oh my god of course."
"Right?"
"It was so obvious."
"Barry we think we know why you keep-" Harrison didn't finish his sentence since he pass out and flew into the boxes. "...Passing out." She stop hugging/threatening Cisco and ran toward him.
⚡❤⚡
She sat by his side till he woke up munching on chocolate. She was nervous. He slowly woke up while Caitlin and Cisco help him up supporting up his back.
"I passed out again?" Barry question. "Total metabolic failure brought on by acute hypoglycemia." Caitlin explained as Varity look adorably confused trying to sound out the big words. "I'm not eating enough so an I.V back and I'm good to go." Cisco then chuckle "Try 40" He pointed pile of I.V bags in the floor. "Guess you were thirsty." Her father added as he nodded in approval when she pronounce the word correctly.
"Were gonna have to get you a new diet base on your metabolic change."
"I done a few calculations. You need to consume an amount to roughly 850 tacos. Unless we're talking cheese and guava which is like a whole other set of equations." Cisco smile looking at Barry as he chuckled. "For Mexican I recommended Tito's on Bruckner Avenue? Best burrito in the city." A familiar voice spoke. In the front stood Joe.
"Detective West what brings you to S.T.A.R labs?" Harrison's ask greeting him. "When I couldn't find you at your lab, I started doing a little research. Turns out there's been reports of a red streak round the city stopping muggers, rescuing people from burning buildings." Joe look at Barry. "You didn't tell him we were working together?" Wells ask looking at Barry. He shook his head and said while sitting up. "Joe, I can explain."

Quest of the Seal Bearers - Book 1: The Warriors Return
On the distant world of Mendala, a rash of mysterious attacks have left many towns destroyed, and there are rumors of an army of monsters. Fantasma, leader of the global government, and his colleagues are determined to find cause of these attacks. but the search for answers points them to an ancient relic, The Book of War, a cursed artifact that can create indestructible creatures loyal to its master. It’s been over twelve thousand years since the Book of War was last opened. It was believed to be destroyed during the Great War by the Twelve Warriors and Daughter of the Sun at the cost of their lives. Now, it seems the book has resurfaced, and its new master is seeking to forever tip the balance of power. The stage is being set for another Great War but who can stop the Book of War once and for all? Meanwhile on Earth, the teen members of Greengale’s Action and Adventure Club are preparing for their yearly trip when they suddenly stumble upon a secret their parents have been keeping for years. Now their world is being turned upside down as they struggle to understand the legacy that ties their fate to Mendala and the Book of War. Is their destiny set in stone, or will they forge a different path? No matter what, their choices will bring forth a new era for Mendala. ------------------------------ If you love vast fantasy worlds, rich, fleshed-out characters, and a adventure where your'e constantly discovering new things along the way, then this is definitely a story you'll enjoy. This is a slow-burn high fantasy / adventure with many characters and intersecting plotlines. It’s a quest so lots of adventuring, exploring, and character moments, but not a ton of fighting/action (though there are definitely some great fight scenes as payoff to the buildup). Because it’s a fantasy world with lots of people and new concepts, I try to make it easy so that you don’t have to memorize anything. The narrative will constantly remind you of important people/places/concepts as you keep moving forward. Some things won’t be fully explained right at the beginning to avoid information overload. My goal is that the reader will learn things organically as the story progresses. I use two mechanisms to help with the intersecting plotlines. - Each chapter is named for the (main) plotline it’s following and which part. - At the beginning of the chapter, and anytime there is a scene shift, the location is listed. Also, though this is definitely a portal-fantasy (isekai) it’s different from the standard isekai, especially since the world transfer doesn’t happen immediately. It’s not Lit-RPG but characters gain powers and grow over time. Also, it’s a group of teens that transfer, not just one central character. All of the teens are distinct characters, with their own character-arcs, relationships, powers, growth etc. Hopefully you’ll find this interesting as you’ll see the world and story from multiple perspectives. The story is always in 3rd Person (Omniscient) POV so that it’s not jarring as perspectives shift.
