16. Going blind

Storm had shut me out which really meant that I was unable to take control and unable to speak on my own. I was unable to see or hear. All I did and could do was sleeping as she did things.

Suddenly and finally, I saw through her- my eyes. We were sitting in a chair at CCPD in handcuffs. The same that prevented metas to use their powers. That was how I broke through block that kept me sleeping. "There she is." Joe said and Iris sighed in relief as Wally walked up next to her. "What did she do?" I now asked and looked up to Joe. "Oh, Storm did nothing until a few days ago. She just came out of hiding and demanded to be put into those cuffs. She said she had this feeling again and wanted it to stop." I frowned as I remembered nothing of it. Of course, I didn't. I was asleep. "Wally here found you stumbling out of a warehouse at the docks." Joe explained and I sighed deeply.

"Don't you remember anything?" Iris asked and I shook my head. "No. The last thing I remember was... Noah and Cora. In my apartment. And I felt this anger bubbling up from all those years ago and- and Storm just shut me out and then I woke up here." I explained. "As in Cora Russell? The new meta?" Joe asked and Wally slightly stepped backwards. "Wallace West! What do you know?" I asked and got up from the chair. He sighed. "Team Flash is handling them." I frowned. "Them?" I asked. "Noah and Cora have been doing stuff lately. Bad stuff." Wally said and I took a deep breath while I tried to remaim calm. Joe carefully unlocked the cuffs and he nodded to Wally. Wally looked around and then he grabbed me sped us out the CCPD.

"I'm sorry, sis. It's nothing personal." Noah said the moment he saw me and then Cora's hazel eyes turned golden. "I'm not sorry." She said, her eyes on the team and then they began to stumble around, clasping their hands to their heads. Wally then wanted to speed behind her but Noah turned Cora's body around and so Wally clasped his hands to his heads, too. "Oh, Zoo, we're here to make you see the truth. We are not the bad guys in this story." Cora said and I shook my head. "But you are. You're hurting my friends. My family." I stated and suddenly, Cora now fully faced me and Team Flash stood up from the attack. "Sorry, what? You call them your family?" Noah asked and I gulped. "Yes. Yes, I do. The people who raised me are a bunch of crazy lunatics and as long as you hurt people, you're one of them!" I said and eyed Noah. "Look at you... You and Storm are such hypocrits." He spat and his words hurt deeply.

Then I turned around, but before I could have teleported myself away, I looked back to them. I shook my head for a moment before I turned around and closed my eyes. When I opened them I stood in the cortex of Star Labs. "My mother is in the pipeline. My dad is in prison. My brother is turning into a person I could hate after I got him back and the person I-" I stopped talking to myself and sank on my knees.

"Zoe?" Several people asked and I looked up to Team Flash. Wally wasn't with them. I let out a shakily breath and reminded myself where I was. "Are you okay?" Caitlin asked and I got on my feet. I cleared my throat and nodded. "Yes. But apparantly it is in my DNA to turn evil, so don't be surprised if I turn into the next bad guy." I said bitter and sighed. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean that. But... first my mother turns out be working with Thawne and now Noah, my brother, is working with Cora who also has powers and uses them against us. That- that is crazy." I brushed my fingers through my hair while I let out a deep breath. "When did my life become so crazy?" I silently asked and then Barry sped away, only to return with a to go cup that he handed me.

"What's this?" I asked and Barry smiled softly at me. "Just drink." He said in a low voice. I drank a sip and then calmed down and nodded. I smiled to myself while I sipped the hot cocoa. "Barry 1, Zoe 0. Got it." I whispered to myself. "Hey, Zoe. It will get better. And we're here for you." Cisco reassuringly said and when he touched my arm he froze. "Cisco?" I asked worried and when he snapped out of it he shook his head.

"Thawne's right." He whispered and I frowned. "He was right about you. Your powers are so much stronger than Echo's." Cisco said and he kept his eyes on me. "What did you see?" Barry asked concerned. "She will kill Thawne. Well, not Zoe, but Storm." Cisco explained and I looked down on my hands. "Storm threatened to kill him if he were to hurt the people I care about." I explained and Barry sighed. I knew he was above killing since Thawne killed his mother. But to be honest I was unsure of what Storm could do once I let her take control near Thawne. Would she kill? Or were those just empty words of hers?
