Chapter 1: Ognats

Nora had been back for a few months now, she had been enjoying the time spent with the father she had never met. She never thought she'd meet him, a few years ago it would have never crossed her mind that she would travel back in time and meet him, The Flash, her father but she did, and to her, it was totally worth the risk of destroying the timeline. And hey, from the stories that her Uncle Wally had told her, the timeline is always able to be fixed.

The young speedster entered the police department and grinned as she always did at the chaos of the place. Every time she walked past the golden plaque placed on the wall, she would look at it and mumble the words that read on the wall, "Truth. Liberty. Justice."

As Nora span back around to walk towards the CSI Lab she bumped into a young man, knocking the files he held out of his hands all over the floor. "Aw darn it" the young man spoke as he reached to the floor and began to fumble about picking up the scattered papers as co-workers and visitors stepped over them.

"Shrap, I'm sorry!" Nora quickly apologized as she began to help the man she bumped into. "It's fine," he replied, "it was my fault anyway, I tend to trip over myself" he chuckled.

The two of them looked at each other, both on the floor picking up paper and began to laugh. "People must know we're interns," the man joked as he shook his head.

Nora released a cute laugh, "Yay us for living up to Intern stereotypes."

The two stood up from the floor and Nora handed the other Intern the bundles of paper, "I'm really sorry about that. Let me help you get them all into the correct order and files!" she apologized again as she got a clear look at him. He had short brown hair and was attractive in a 'guy next door' kind of way. He was wearing basic work attire, black pants, white shirt with the sleeves rolled up and a black-tie reaching down his chest. "You don't need to do that, I'll be fine and I'm sure you're in a rush," the Intern joked, "I'm Luke by the way, Luke Singh."

Nora's eyes widened, "Singh? As in Captain Singh?" she quickly questioned as she worried that she was about to get in trouble.

Luke gripped the files to his chest with one hand and rubbed the back of his head nervously, "Yeah, he's my uncle," he admitted, "but don't worry. I don't get any special treatment. In fact I probably get it the worst here." He joked with a hint of annoyance.

Nora released a smirk, "Oh don't be silly, Captain Singh is awesome!"

"Glad you think so Ognats" a voice spoke from behind her.

Nora released a small squeal as Captain Singh's voice made her jump a little, "Good morning Captain" she smiled.

The Captain greeted her with a tap on the shoulder as he walked past her towards his office, "And good morning to you too." He then looked towards his nephew, "Come on Luke, I need to go through those files with you."

Nora and Luke exchanged a look, both knowing he was about to get in trouble. The speedster looked towards the Captain and then back towards Luke, and as time began to slow down she scanned through the papers in her new friend's hands and assorted them into the corrected order before standing back in the same position before she used her powers.

The Captain turned back around and pointed towards the direction of the CSI Lab, "Oh and Ognats, let Allen know that we have some school kids coming in next week to do some educational tour or something about the precinct. It's about 'bright futures' so make sure he's in on Monday to talk to them."

"Will do Cap!" She replied with a cheer and an awkwardly raised fist, but she amended her reply after the look her boss gave her, "Uh, I'll make sure he knows Captain Singh!" she corrected. Her boss smiled and nodded.

The two Interns looked at each other again, "Wish me luck!" Luke shrugged as he began to follow in the direction of his Uncle. Nora gave him a warm smile, "Good luck Luke!"

She paused for a moment before heading up the stairs towards the lab and as she was halfway up the stairs, she heard the Intern's voice again, "Hey!" he called out to her. Nora raised an eyebrow and leaned over the banister of the staircase, "Yes?" she asked him.

"Ognats is your last name, right? So what's your first?" he questioned with a smile.

"It's Nora" she replied with a small laugh, "Sorry, I forget to introduce myself sometimes" she added.

Luke laughed, "Well, Nora Ognats, I look forward to working with you."

Nora smiled at her new friend once more and hurriedly climbed up the staircase before Luke could see her grin ear-to-ear. She hadn't made a friend in this time period yet, so this was a first for her.

Nora turned the corner, walked down the hallway and entered the Lab where her father was early for once. He was sitting at his desk with a pen sticking out of his mouth as he filed some reports. Barry looked at his smiling daughter, took the pen out of his mouth and raised his eyebrows, "You are looking especially happy today."

His daughter released a wide smile and then inquisitively asked, "Did you know Captain Singh had a Nephew? Or even a family for that matter?" she joked. Barry shook his head at the joke and chuckled, "Yeah, believe it or not he is quite the family man." He then turned back to his paperwork and continued the conversation "So you met his Nephew? He must have finally talked his Uncle into giving him a placement."

Nora ran her fingers across the whiteboard as she walked past it, "I guess so. Singh was calling him into his office. Do you know what he's Interning for?" she asked. Barry shrugged, and Nora rolled her eyes at him, she had learned early on that when her father was focused on a task it would hold his attention fully until he completed it. So Nora walked to her desk and slumped into her chair before kicking against the desk, spinning herself round in her chair thinking about the day ahead of her.

A/N: New story! I am still working on YJ:2031 and I am halfway through the next chapter of that so that should be out within the next week. I've been wanting to write another Romance story for quite a while and Nora has been such a fantastic character in The Flash lately so she has been my inspiration! Plus, I think it'd be cool to explore how she would approach a relationship while she is in 2018. So yeah, I'm excited to write this if people want more!

Again, to those who have been patiently waiting for YJ:2031 updates, they are coming. Slowly, but they are still on their way because I have a hell of a lot more to write before that story ends :)

Thank you ever so much for reading! ~FarmingPirate
