After losing Ronnie, Caitlin had thought that her heart had closed for good. He had been the love of her life, her husband, and she had lost him twice. This time there would be no miracle though, he wasn't coming back.
Then Jay had come along, and something about him had just seemed so familiar and warm, she couldn't help the feelings towards him that began to develop. She felt that hole fill, and she had let her guard down around him. She had let him in. And she had lost him too.
But this time, the pain hadn't hurt her as much. Which had been a surprise. She thought the pain of losing Jay would have tipped her over the edge, made her lose all control she had slowly gained back. Having Jay gone made her realise that her feelings for him were misdirected. She was substituting one speedster for another.
Barry.
He had been there for her, helped her through so much. Been there as a shoulder to cry on, someone to listen to her problems. He was someone who she wanted as more than a friend. But there was Iris, and Patty, and then Iris once more. And no matter how she felt, it seemed that there would always be someone else for him, and Caitlin was learning to accept that.
Then she had found out who Jay really was. Who the man she had kissed was.
Then it had gotten worse.
"Jay, stop," she begged, trying her hardest not to let her cheeks flood with tears. "Please," she continued, slowly stepping towards him. "If anything you ever said to me was true, or anything we ever shared was real, then please just let him go," Caitlin continued. He had Barry by the neck, she was watching the man who she thought she had loved kill the man she did. "Please," she continued, reaching a hand out to him. "I know some part of you did care for me, so if you have any humanity left, then please, let him go," the tears were getting harder to hold back. Zoom let him go, tossing him against a wall. Caitlin watched Cisco race over to him, as Harry kept the gun on Zoom. She looked into Zoom's eyes, saw the man she had once cared for so much. He was in there somewhere, but buried so deeply behind the evil stare of Zoom. Then suddenly all she saw was blue lighting, everything else sped by.
She felt them enter the breach. Her eyes remained closed, too scared to look out. Once they left, she felt them slow down, and felt a hand vibrating against her cheek.
"My love," she heard Zoom say.
And then there was darkness.
Just a quick introduction chapter. The story will cover Caitlin as Jay's prisoner, and then her eventual return to Barry and the team, and explore the possibility of a relationship there. Hope you enjoy!
