Shawna Baez

Shawna Baez (born June 20, 1987), nicknamed Peek-a-Boo by Caitlin Snow, is a meta-human from Central City. After the S.T.A.R. Labs particle accelerator accident, Shawna gained the power to teleport. She became an inmate in the S.T.A.R. Labs Pipeline. However, she was released by Leonard Snart and Lisa Snart along with the rest of the imprisoned meta-humans, and took the opportunity to teleport away.

Reunited with Clay
Shawna broke her boyfriend, Clay Parker, out of prison with her new meta-human power of teleportation. She wanted to run with him away from Central City, but Clay stated that he had to pay a debt to Marcus Stockheimer before he could leave.

They robbed an armored truck, and the Flash showed up to stop them. However, her powers overwhelmed Barry, and she distracted him long enough that Clay almost shot him through the neck. They then teleported away.



Shawna and Clay later met with the crime lord to pay off the latter's debt, but when Shawna showed off her powers, Stockheimer decided to keep the two around for a crime spree. However, CCPD stormed the hideout and in the subsequent firefight, Clay was wounded, forcing Shawna to teleport them both to safety.



The next night, the couple raided an armored truck before attempting to depart Central City, only to be confronted by the Flash in a tunnel. Shawna briefly fought him before rejoining Clay in the car. However, the Flash used wrenches to destroy the tunnel lights before taking out the car's headlights, rendering Shawna unable to teleport if she can't see where to go.

Clay then abandoned Shawna, leaving her to be captured by the Flash. She was then imprisoned in the Pipeline, her cell fitted with a one-way mirror so she can't get out. Only able to hear her captors, she confessed that despite Clay's desertion, she still loved him.

Escape from the Pipeline
When the team discovered the Reverse-Flash had been altering the particle accelerator, he freed Shawna and she attacked the team while Barry chased the Reverse-Flash. She nearly killed Caitlin Snow for imprisoning her but was knocked out by Iris West and returned to her cell. After being sedated by having knockout gas sprayed in her cell, Shawna was moved out of S.T.A.R. Labs in a truck with the other meta-humans. She and the other metas awoke and began squabbling. However Leonard and Lisa Snart sabotaged the truck, and Shawna and the others escaped. A battle ensued, but Shawna decided to take the opportunity to escape, teleporting away.

Return to S.T.A.R. Labs
One night in early 2016, Shawna infiltrated S.T.A.R. Labs. She neutralized Cisco who heard her and she pointed his own gun at him, saying to him her nickname, "Peek-a-Boo". She then asked him him to make him an high-tech gun like Lisa Snart's. After Cisco refused, she shot him.

Powers

 * Teleportation: After surviving the S.T.A.R. Labs particle accelerator explosion, Shawna gained the ability to teleport, which allows her to instantly travel anywhere within her range of vision.

Abilities

 * Skilled Hand-to-hand combattant: Shawna has some skill in close combat. Using her teleportation and her telescope as a weapon she was able to repeatedly strike Barry.
