A/N

To understand any of this, you would have to read @fitzistrash 's story Trying To Find Home. We are doing a crossover for our books. Hope you enjoy!

  After Celeste had left, Barry ran after her. So, I was left with Cisco, Caitlyn, Joe, and Eobard. I was most particularly scared of Eobard, because he may know that I know who he really is. They were all freaked out, even Eobard.

"So... is she always like that?" Joe asks, concerned.

I chuckle, "Yeah. We both have pretty traumatic backstories. Just, refrain from needles and don't sneak up on her."

"Well then," Harry says, "Who is Hydra?"

"Not who," I explain, "What. It's an evil organization keen on experimentation to give their followers powers, in a way. I was their test subject for a little over a year, and I was hurt like hell. Her? Longer. Who knows what she's been through."

"But I thought you knew everything about us and her?" Cisco asks.

"Does a TV Show give you every moment of the characters lives?" I ask him.

"No."

"Well then I can I possibly know everything. Do I know a lot? Yes. Everything? God no." I say, staring at him, waiting for a response.

"Okay... so how much do you know?" Eobard asks, concerned.

I shrug, masking my fear, "I never got past a few episodes. I don't know too much about you guys. The person I know the least about would actually be Cisco and Caitlyn."

"But we're open books!" Caitlyn exclaims.

I rub my forehead in annoyance, "That's not how it works. It mainly focuses around Barry. I don't know what to say. So, are you going to test my powers or what?"

Eobard rolls up to me, "Remind me again of your powers?"

I snort, "I thought you were a genius. Can't you remember?"

"Well, you do have a lot of powers." Cisco points out.

"The only one I'm interested in, and I hope you'll give a name to, is my power to convert atoms." I say.

"What?" Joe asks, confused about all of this.

I look at him, "Say you have a hydrogen atom, all it takes is a snap of my fingers to turn it into water."

"Cool!" Cisco exclaims.

I roll my eyes, "It also means if I snap my fingers on accident, I could fill someone's lungs with water, or remove their blood from their bodies."

"Not cool!" Cisco corrects.

I laugh, "You guys seem to have the habit of saying 'cool!' too soon."

Eobard raises an eyebrow, "I thought you said you knew only a little about us."

I smile proudly, "My father has an IQ of 270, according to google, and assuming I got his smarts, then I have a pretty high IQ. Meaning, I remember things differently than others. Smaller, unimportant things rattle in my head, and that just happens to be one of them. I swear I ran across a YouTube video of you guys correcting yourselves on that."

Caitlyn seems amused, "I haven't said that once!"

  Then Barry comes in with an accompanying Celeste, who doesn't seem too happy to be here, but is here willingly nonetheless.

"What'd he promise you?" I ask her.

She doesn't look at me, "These people seem to be my only way back."

I nod my head, "Yeah. But, me too!"

She raises an eyebrow, "But you are these people."

"Hey, hey, hey!" I exclaim, "I am not a part of team Flash! I come from another world, not this one!"

"But you're helping them aren't you?" She tries and points out.

I sigh, "Whether I like it or not, I need them. I mean, then again, I could try my chances of getting back, but then again, I might end up in The Walking Dead. I was in Criminal Minds for only a few days, and without supers, it was hell. I was terrified of getting experimented on."

"Well then!" Eobard claps his hands, "You're lucky to be here."

I snort, "No, actually not. My new universe, the place I feel at home, it was my mother and father's home, risks getting destroyed by a big purple grape! And without me, it does! I've seen the comics, right now, I don't get back. I can't lose them. I need to get back. As soon as possible."

I feel a tear trickle down my face, "I can't. I can't lose them. They're all I have and the only place I would have to go is back to my Stepfather. And I can't do that either."

Joe picks up on the subtle hint, "Well, then, 'Team Flash' will have to find you a way home, won't they, Barry?"

He nods his head, "Yes- uh, yeah! We'll try our best."

I hear Celeste mutter, "Your best better be good enough."

"Celeste, can I talk to you?" I look over to the team, "Alone."

She wearily nods her head, "Sure."

  We walk to the hallway in silence, and make our way to a quiet room. I look around for any of Eobard's surprise cameras and once, satisfied, I decide this is this room.

She looks at me, slightly annoyed, "What?"

"There is someone you need to be wary of, if you don't know. Harry? He's from the future. The team doesn't know yet, and keep it under wraps. As long as we don't meddle in their crap, we should be fine. But Harry has super speed. He's the 'Man In Yellow' as Barry calls him. I know it takes a lot for you to trust people, but if you do, don't trust him." I explain.

She nods her head, "Shouldn't we change things? Can't we fix this?"

I shake my head no, "I wish I could, but there's no saying what could change. The only reason I changed the future in the world I stay at, my world, is because I was staying there. If I can't monitor them, there's no saying what could change. One person could end up a villian."

She frowns, but moves on, "So why did you bring me here? Of all people?"

I wince at the thought, "Maybe because we have a lot in common. I didn't choose to bring you, and I'm incredibly sorry I've brought you into this mess."

She narrows her eyes, looking for something, "What could we have in common?"

I frown, "Well, for one, we both can control atoms, in a way. For two, we both grew to be afraid of adults, any one of them could hurt us. And three, we both came from a version of the MCU. Oh! Yeah, and four, we have powers and are both female."

She snorts, "Well considering that makes up a lot of our lives, you sure we aren't twins?"

I roll my eyes, "Just- Be careful around Harry."

  We walk back to the room and they are all working on stuff. I assume to get us back, but who knows? Well, I guess they do.

"Can you guys hurry up? The last thing the Avengers saw of me was me turning into black smoke, they're probably wondering what the hell happened." Celeste points out.
