[ it feels like she's been running forever, but she has no choice her portals won't work. maybe it's because she's panicking, or maybe it's the rain or maybe it's... it doesn't matter. she can hear the police closing in on her. escaping from the mutant jail had been hard enough - really she was lucky they hadn't put a collar on her.
clarice stops and leans against an alley wall, she tries to catch her breath then she raises her hand again. ]
Come on!
[ purple sparks appear and she scrunches her face in concentration and in pain.
"you stop there"
they found her. the police. no, no, no. she can't go back.
"mutant, stop what you are doing or we will open fire."
suddenly clarice feels a wave of energy, a rush of blood to the head as the portal finally opens up. she doesn't care where it leads, doesn't care about the risk of jumping through to somewhere she doesn't know. she jumps through it and lands flat faced and rain soaked onto the ground. muffled shouts come from the other side as the portal closes. ]
[ The world is a pretty messed up place. The important thing to remember is that it's not all chaos. There's a lot of hope, a lot of love--the whole Steppenwolf fiasco proved that. Hell, if anything, it spurred Barry on to be even better. Of course from the good of his heart, but also because he's pretty sure Superman would go into the whole 'I'm not mad, I'm disappointed' speech, and he isn't sure he can take it.
So he keeps protecting his city--his city, what a thought!--and even if it's just petty crooks, he's okay with it. He's making a difference. Plus, he has Bruce Wayne on speed dial in case shit goes down and that's pretty freaking cool.
He sees it--hears it, hears sparks, which is weird because this isn't the industrial district, and--portal? that's a portal. And that's a girl who definitely just flopped onto the ground and it looks like it hurts.
Barry doesn't ask questions. He zips over to her, lightning quick (literally), and is trying to help her to her feet. ]
[ it does hurt. it also feels different than the other portals she's gone through, somehow. she feels winded, dizzy. she doesn't realize there is someone there at first, she's to busy catching her breath. too busy hoping she's actually safe.
it's only when he tries to help her up she realizes he's there and instinctively she jerks away. she looks up revealing eyes so green they're practically neon and purple markings around her right eye. her hair had purple streaks in it even if they were hard to see as she was soaking wet.
for a few moments she just stares at him, trying to decide whether or not she needs to start running. ]
