I needed to write this missing scene so I could get it out of my head and allow me to work on Message in a bottle :) Yup, this story is returning. And I worked without Beta on that short story, so please don't kill me.

''Woohoo!'' Exclaimed Ralph, coming out of Cisco's breach and back at the lab, as the engineer released his grip on him.

Jumping into action, saving people and leaving without a hitch sure was a breath of fresh air and it felt amazing. How come these things never happened when he's teaming up with Barry? Barely a couple of feet away from him was standing Caitlin with her new friend and both of them were smiling tiredly and nodding at Cisco, who had a gentle grab on his doctor friend's arm, to confirm their relatively ok status. At least, their unharmed status.

''You sure you' ok?'' Inquired Cisco with his glance going up and down on his friend, scanning and searching for any sign of injuries. ''You look a little pale.''

''Yeah, yeah...I'm ok.'' Assured Caitlin another time, catching her breath. ''Cutting a little close, don't you think?'' She added, relieved smile on her lips.

''Hey!'' Protested Ralph, smiling widely. ''It wouldn't be fun without a little suspense, wouldn't it?''

Caitlin rolled her eyes, but chose not to answer back at Ralph, well aware that she wasn't going to win at this. Not to mention that she was still slightly bittersweet at the way he treated her earlier, just before she ran out of the lab.

''Amway, thanks guys. Clearly Amulet was done showing me mercy.''

''Yeah, good job.'' Said Iris' voice, with a strangely overly tired tone, forcing Caitlin to turn around and take a look at the other woman standing behind the main computers. Something wasn't right, her Spidey senses, or whatever it was, were tingling in a very bad way.

Scanning around the room, the doctor made a silent head count on who was present at the moment with her and who wasn't. With every passing second, a pit started to form in her stomach; as much as she was glad Cisco and Ralph came to her rescue her mind couldn't stop wondering why it was these two who fought Amulet Black. And it wasn't because she wanted to be picky about who was doing the saving.

''Where's Barry?'' She finally managed to ask.

For one moment, just one split second, now that the team finally had a victory during that endless night, they forgot that they still had a friend out there. A friend that was still missing and in need. That's if he was still alive...With the guilt forming a lump in Cisco's throat, realizing he was wasting time celebrating while Barry was still MIA, he rushed to the nearest computer in the back before frantically typing on the keyboard without even answering the doctor's question.

''Guys?'' Nervously said Caitlin, biting her bottom lips while nervously scratching her right hand with the other one.

''Devoe took Barry.'' Drily spitted out Ralph without introduction.

''What?! How did this happen? When?'' Boomed Caitlin's voice, causing Dominic to jump next to her, clearly not expecting the sudden explosion of words and emotions.

Seriously, how long had she been gone? An hour? Couple of hours? As far as she knew, Barry was fine when she got abducted.

''Devoe attacked me and Barry in the street as Amulet was taking you.'' Succinctly explained Iris . ''Cisco-'' She started, only to get interrupted instantly.

''Already switched back the satellite to look for Barry's Speed's signature.'' He confirmed.

''What can I do?'' Asked Caitlin, already ready for battle while handing her wrists over and displaying her power dampening cuff, silently inviting anyone to free her from the cuffs so she could go full on Killer Frost on Devoe.

''You rest, it's been a long night.'' Pressed out Cisco, looking up from the computer and walking forward to free his friend. ''You looks exhausted. ''

He wasn't wrong on that one, but to be honest they all were. Except, Caitlin couldn't picture herself going to sleep, not now, not 'til they knew Barry was fine…or at least that he was still alive.

Her brain just wouldn't stop imagining some horrifying scenarios. After all, they didn't picked the name Thinker for nothing; Devoe was smart and thoughtful, if he kidnapped Barry it was for a reason. What if….no….he wouldn't. But what IF…That man was in a wheelchair, what if he needed Barry to steal his powers in order to heal himself? Or, something worse?

No, she couldn't start thinking like that, not while she still had Demonic to look at and make sure he was fine.

''I'm going to check out Dominic and after you'll explain to me everything that happened.'' She compromised on a tone that wasn't up for discussion before pushing her new friend ahead of her and toward the med bay, worry forming a pit in her stomach.

A/N: Comments are always deeply appreciated :)

I will post somewhere next week or this weekend the other missing scene, after Barry showed up at the lab after escaping.
