Normal-ish

     I looked around, realizing I was still on the ground. I saw Cisco out of the corner of my eye crawling towards me. "You ok?" He asked. "Yeah, just wasn't expecting it." I groaned. "Are you ok?" I laughed. "I think my butt almost crushed you!" I giggled. "You don't weigh THAT much! But I did get a face full of ass." He laughed. I laughed along, also feeling a little bad for Cisco. I slowly stood up and looked at Barry and Caitlin.
I trained for at least 2 hours. I was in the process of running when I was getting really tired. I slowed down and started jogging again. "Why you slowing down?" Barry asked. "I'm out of breath. I'm done for the day." I panted. "We have to keep training you though!" Barry responded. "We can train my mind, while sitting down." I said. I stepped off the treadmill and walked back into the cortex.
"Ok so we need to see how well you can do with your telekinesis abilities." Caitlin said typing away. "Make that bottle tip over." Cisco said. I focused and sure enough, it tipped. We did a few more objects until Caitlin spoke up. "So I want to see if you can control humans with your abilities." Caitlin said. "Telekinesis can do that?" I asked. "I'm not 100 percent sure but it's worth a shot." She said. "Make my knuckles crack!" Cisco laughed. I focused really hard. POP. "Oh my gosh that felt good!" He laughed. "Make me walk towards you." Barry said. I tried, but I couldn't. "Can you make me stop walking?" Cisco asked as he started walking towards me. I focused super hard, and it slowed him down a lot, but I couldn't completely stop him. "Your powers are still weak since you don't understand them yet, but still, with telekinesis, I doubt you can make anyone do anything." Caitlin said.
I walked over to Cisco. "Do you think I can go back to my apartment for a bit?" I asked. He looked at Caitlin and she shrugged her shoulders. "I guess." He said. "Get ready to run." I laughed. I picked Cisco up and sped home. I stopped at the front of the building, tripping over a speed bump. I fell over and on top of Cisco...again. "Why are you always on top of me?" He laughed. I stood up and helped him up. "You've gotta give me a bit more warning next time though." He said pointing at me. I walked up the stairs and let him to my apartment. "I think I don't have me key since I was kinda kidnapped in the middle of the night." I whispered. I focused on the door and it unlocked. "These powers really come in handy!" I laughed. I walked in and spun around. "Welcome to my home!" I said. "Wow! I wish my apartment was this nice!" Cisco laughed.
I walked into my bedroom, him following. "Nice messy bedroom." He said. I nodded. I grabbed a pair of short shorts from my dresser. Cisco walked out as I changed into them. "You're good!" I yelled as I cover up under my blanket. He walked in as I stared at the floor. "What's wrong?" He asked. He sat down next to me and tried to move the cover but I wouldn't let him. "Lela what's going on?" He asked.
I stood there, him staring at my thighs. "What happened?" He asked. "When I was in the room he would cut me if I didn't do what he asked." I said. "Why didn't you tell us?" He asked. I just stood there. "Now you know." I whispered. I pulled down the shorts and wrapped a hoodie around my waist. "I'm ready to leave." I said. I picked up Cisco and sped back to STAR LABS. I skidded to a stop in the cortex, dropping Cisco. "Lela, did you know your lightning is green?" Caitlin asked. "No. I thought it was yellow like Barry's!" I exclaimed. "We think it's because of the blue in your veins from the telekinesis and the yellow from when you were struck by lightning." She said. "I love green!" I exclaimed.
"How about Lady Flash?" Cisco suggested. "But then I sound like The Flash and I are, like, together." I said, disgusted. "If only Cisco was the flash." Caitlin mumbled. I acted like I didn't hear it. He pulled Caitlin to another room.


Cisco's P.O.V.
"What were you talking about back there?" I said angrily. "C'mon Cisco. It's obvious you have a crush on her." Caitlin said. I didn't want to lie but I couldn't tell her. "No I don't. You're talking crazy. You see how she clings onto me? If anything she's the one who likes me. It's freaking annoying." I said walking out. I just threw her under the bus, and ran her over. Gosh. At least Caitlin won't think I have a crush on Lela anymore.
I walked back into the cortex and watched Barry teach Lela how to faze. Her hand started vibrating. She looked at me with a toothy smile. She walked over to me and slowly put her hand through my arm. "Does it hurt?" She asked. "Not a bit." I answered. She slowly removed her hand, trying not to hurt me. As she walked away I turned and looked at Caitlin with wide eyes nodding my head towards Lela. I wanted Lela to go home tonight so Caitlin wouldn't make fun of me for staying with her, but I also really wanted to be with her. I couldn't just invite her to stay the night at my house. That would be a little too weird.
I watched as Lela practiced using her abilities. "Cisco." Barry called. "Yeah?" I said. "Lunch? I'll give you the money." He said. I grabbed the money from Barry and left to get us all lunch. As I walked out I thought about it.


Do I like Lela?
