"So, Astrid has gone home for the day, but the rest of us have to work…" Cisco said, as he entered the office to find Caitlin deep in thought.

"Well, she did say that everyone else could go home… you included." Caitlin argued, in her 'I have other things on my mind, so don't annoy me today, Cisco' tone.

"And leave you alone with your thoughts? With no one to pester you… yeah, like that will ever happen!" Cisco argued.

"I'm sorry, Cisco! But I really just need to work…"

"Yeah, because you are going through a crisis… and I don't get why, but when you girls have things going on… you always devote your time to your work… Women! I bet if Barry was here he would back me up…"

"Cisco!" Caitlin snapped, "Just leave me alone!"

"Okay… I'm sorry… Don't have to go all Frosty on me… I'll be over here if you need me…" Cisco apologized, as he went to his table and began tinkering on his new project; the Flash's new suit, very loudly. He was purposely trying to get Caitlin's attention.

"Ok! Fine! Cisco! I'll tell you what's on my mind!" Caitlin snapped.

"That's all I ask!" he replied playfully, running back to his friend, waiting for her to spill the beans, he sat down on the chair and gave her his undivided attention.

"So, I am married to Ronnie… but Frost isn't married to Ronnie, but in a way she is, because we share the same body… But if that means that she is married to Ronnie too… Does that mean that I am cheating on my husband with this Amunet? Ergh! None of this makes any sense!" Caitlin was rambling.

Cisco pulled a face, he found the situation funny and confusing at the same time, but now was not the time for jokes. His friend clearly needed him.

"I need to ask," he began, "So you're not aware, or in control, at all… when Frost has taken over? Or when she and Amunet are together?"

"No, I had no idea at all… until Ronnie told me, that is." Caitlin replied.

"Then, I don't think it would be classed as cheating… technically… But then… is it like when you have been drinking too much and you don't remember anything the next morning and…"

"Cisco?" Caitlin snapped, "that's not helping… when Frost is in control, I have no say in anything… Most of the time I have no recollection whatsoever… unless, she lets me see what's going on… but she hasn't this time…"

"That's probably a good thing. I mean… because you love Ronnie… cheating on him would be the last thing you would ever want to do."

"Exactly… so it's not classed as cheating?" Caitlin said, happy with this answer.

"Yeah… I don't think it is, I mean you didn't exactly have a say in any of it… it's the whole Dr Jekyll and…" Caitlin hugged Cisco, happy that he had answered her question, but she still felt a little weirded out by the whole thing. She knew that Ronnie was still very uncomfortable by it all and she hoped that he would see things as they were. That Caitlin was not cheating on her husband.

"I take it Ronnie isn't taking any of this well?" Cisco asked, finally realizing what all the fuss was about.
Caitlin let go of her friend and got back to work, "No he isn't. But I really hope he comes around. I understand his point of view… but it's all pretty hard to grasp, I guess." Caitlin replied, she still had her doubts, but for now this answer would be good enough to settle her thoughts.

Cisco walked over to his computer desk and switched on his computer. Fortunately, Caitlin had already cleaned out the bin that Astrid had been sick into, but Cisco's keyboard was still out of place.

He moved it back into place and saw his friend's bracelet still sitting on the desk. He picked it up ready to move it to her own, and once again he received a vision, this one was different to the one from before.

Barry was crippled to the ground, there was a man standing over him. This man had ice breath and breathed on Barry, freezing his legs in place.

Cisco and Astrid had been working against Barry and were standing behind the being with the icy breath. Both of them had been eager to end Barry's life. But as the man with the ice breath went to take the kill, Astrid had run in front. Cisco watched as she defended Barry, sacrificing her own life for their friend. The man killed her with a red laser beam that came from his eyes. A red laser beam?

Cisco dropped Astrid's bracelet to the ground and the vision was gone. "Cisco, are you ok?" Caitlin asked him.

He didn't know how to explain the vision, so he kept it to himself. "Yeah, Caitlin. I'm fine. I promise. I just didn't realize that she left her bracelet here. And I dropped it, that's all."

Caitlin raised her eyebrows in disbelief, but then got back to what she was doing.

Cisco was mortified that there was such a being out there that could shoot laser beams out of his eyes, and had ice breath. This kind of person could destroy Barry in an instant. They couldn't have been a mere meta-human… They would have to be some sort of God.

But these visions that Cisco kept having as of late had never happened before, well not to his recollection… Were they going to happen? And did such a super meta-human such as this man even exist? Cisco knew what he needed to do. He sat at his computer and began typing.

Barry sat at his desk at CCPD and threw his stress ball up in the air, caught it again, and then repeated, while swinging backwards on his chair. Eddie walked into his office unannounced, making Barry drop the ball and almost fall backwards to the floor.

"You shouldn't swing on your chair, Barry." Eddie said.

"Yeah, I'll remember that for next time… what's up?"

Eddie sat down on the chair opposite Barry and leant towards him. "I need you to be absolutely honest with me. I have been digging around to try and explain what happened last night for my report in regards to Caitlin... Somethings just don't add up!"

Barry was puzzled as to what Eddie was referring to. "What's going on?"

"Last night you knocked me out of the way before I could have been killed… but then that guy Firestorm stepped in and I was taken to safety by the Flash…" Eddie explained.

"Well STAR Labs does have associations with the Flash and Firestorm…" Barry explained.
"What do you mean? I mean, I knew about STAR Labs and Firestorm… but the Flash?" Eddie asked, as Barry realized that he had tripped up on his own words. It was only in the alternate reality that Cisco made STAR Labs association with the scarlet speedster public.

"I mean that Firestorm must have called him. We know that Firestorm is connected to STAR Labs through DR Stein… but the Flash is a friend of his." Barry improvised.

Suddenly, Joe entered the room "You guys, we have a case, they think that something must have happened to Firestorm, like he has gone evil or something... Singh wants to see all of us in fifteen minutes downtown. Barry, you can come with us so you're not late… again."

As Barry and Joe left the office, Eddie froze for a moment, reflecting on the conversation that he had just had with Barry. Eddie knew a lie when he heard one. Barry had lied about the Flash. But the question was, why?
