CH 1
"Humans and their arrogance," Grodd/Cisco sneered, looking over to Barry who stared back at him horrified of how Grodd had taken over Cisco's mind.
Grodd himself wasn't even in the dungeon. He didn't even show his face to the flash he just thought he would have a bit of fun terrorizing them by making their own friend tell them his ultimate plan.
"First you will suffer then I will grant you each a horrible death," Grodd/Cisco growled, glancing around at a very terrified and shocked Caitlin who looked as if she was on the verge of tears.
"Don't plan on it," Barry interjected, now glaring at Grodd/Cisco filled with a look of hate. "We will stop you and you will never see our faces again."
Grodd/Cisco gave Barry an evil looking grin. It looked almost as if Barry was staring into the face of Reverb. "I'll see you in the arena Flash."
Grodd had had his fun terrorizing the Flash and his friends for now. If they only knew it wasn't really Solovar speaking through Cisco. Now he was going to get the ball rolling on his ultimate plan to destroy Central City without the Flash getting in the way and now it's going to work out perfectly thanks to Cisco's very convenient powers. He would need Cisco soon. But not just yet…
Grodd revoked his mind control on Cisco and took control of Solovar once again to go prepare for the battle against the Flash.
Cisco suddenly gave a small shuddering gasp and his eyes rolled into the back of his head. He stumbled backwards and lifelessly dropped to the dirt floor of the cell, nearly hitting his head on one of the metal bars of the cage they were all in.
Caitlin jumped forward against the bars of her cage, reaching out and wanting desperately to help him. "Oh, God, Cisco!"
Julian hurried over and dropped next to Cisco's unconscious form, shaking him by the shoulders "Cisco! Cisco! Come on, mate. Are you okay?"
Cisco stirred, raising a hand gingerly to his head and scrunching his eyes shut even more.
"Ugh … whoa … uh … what-what the hell just happened?" Cisco demanded.
"You just got possessed by Solovar, Cisco," Barry answered.
"That was messed up. What did he force me to do?" Cisco slowly sat up and looked over to Caitlin.
"He spoke through you and delivered death threats just to freak us out. It worked!" Caitlin squeaked.
Cisco gave a sigh of relief, looking up to the ceiling of the cage shaking his head. "That's a relief because I would have thought that he would have used my powers to kill you all. Thank God he didn't think of that."
"Well, we are still all in danger of that happening. If Solovar could take you over like that he could still use you. Maybe he's trying to plan something," Julian suggests, frantic.
"You'd better hope he doesn't do that. I have no way of stopping him," Cisco says.
Barry grabs the bars of his cage and stares at Cisco. "We have a way to stop him. I'm gonna fight him in the arena. He'll back down when I beat him. He said he'll let us go if I defeat him in battle."
"Well, let's just hope he's a man—ahem—excuse me, gorilla of his word." Cisco caught himself and rolled his eyes in disbelief that this was actually happening to all of them. They weren't convinced that this was going to end in their favor.
Caitlin stared out the window next to her side of the cage. "Yeah, let's hope."
Later that afternoon, two un-named, intimidating-looking gorillas walked into the dungeons and dragged Barry out to the arena to face Solovar and the rest was history…
Now, Harry was in the cages with them. They were all more uneasy than before because it was just revealed to them that Grodd was the evil, backstabbing one that wanted to destroy Central City on Earth-1 and not Solovar.
"I can't think of any other way, Cait," Cisco pleaded. "I just can't bear the thought of Grodd using my powers to destroy the city and hurt the people I lo—"
"I AM NOT GOING TO KILL YOU CISCO," Caitlyn interjected. "That's a terrible plan. We'll be stuck here, I might turn evil, and you'll be dead. How is that a good plan?"
Cisco gave a huff of frustration and rested his head on one of the bars separating them. "Then what do you suggest we do? Let Grodd use me to help murder everyone?" he asked softly.
"No," Barry piped up while sitting on the floor. "We are never gonna let him do that. He isn't going to get that far."
"Oh yeah? And do you have a plan on how were going to get out of here and stop that from ever happening?" Julian interrogated, not impressed with Barry's optimism.
"Yeah I do. But you're not going to like it, Cait." He looked at Caitlin hesitantly.
"What is it?" Caitlin whispered, scared of what he might say.
"You need to use your powers to freeze me to help trick Grodd into thinking I'm dead so that I can hopefully get out of the cage and help all of you escape."
Caitlin looked at Barry and Cisco incredulously. "What is it with you two? Do you both have some sort of death wish?! Barry, it's too dangerous. I could go crazy and kill you if I'm not careful."
"Cait, there's no other way," Barry argued. "You're the only one who can use their powers right now and we have to get out of here before an even bigger disaster happens."
Caitlin fought with herself on this decision. What if I can't control her? I would have no way of coming back from this. But, they need me. I have to at least try. Then she gave in. "Okay. I'll do it." She looked over to Harry standing next to her. "But you have to promise me that if I go full-on Killer Frost, you have to try to take me out."
"Agreed," Harry said, putting a hand on Caitlin's shoulder.
"Okay. Let's hope this works," Caitlin said cautiously, slowly taking off the necklace Cisco and Julian made for her.
Caitlin immediately felt different. Cold spread more deeply within her, and her hands started to smoke as if they were dry ice. Her eyes glowed white and her alter-ego started to make an appearance in her voice. "Let's get this over with Flash," she sneered coldly, no trace of sweet Caitlyn Snow.
She grabbed at Barry through the bars and kissed him with full force, cooling his body down enough so that he appeared to be dead.
Caitlin released him and sent him crashing to the floor.
It took all of her might to keep herself from losing her sanity because all she wanted to do was steal the heat from people. She was cold. Her eyes glowed white and she felt no remorse for anything. She was turning into Killer Frost. But, Caitlin held on as long as possible until she could safely get her power-dampening necklace back on.
Once her necklace was back on, she heated up again. She felt much more like herself. Thankfully, she was able to keep her powers from taking over. She let out a breath she didn't know she was holding with relief.
Julian and Cisco stood at the other end of the cell and stared at her, also holding their breaths, scared of what she might become.
"It's okay, guys. I'm okay," Caitlin reassured, looking up at their faces of worry.
"So, what do we do now?" Julian asked, staring at Barry's frozen body.
"We yell for a guard and tell them that the Flash is dead," Harry answered.
All four of them started yelling out for a guard to help, screaming that their friend is dying, or worse—already dead.
A gorilla guard stomped into the dungeon and glared at all of them, finally stopping to look at what he supposed to be Barry's dead body.
"H-he had internal injuries! He went into shock and died! I-I couldn't help him!" Caitlin hastily lied, acting as though she was very shocked and heartbroken that her friend was lying there dead.
Cisco and Julian both looked worried, shifting their eyes back and forth between Barry and the Gorilla City guard, hoping that he would buy Caitlin's act.
The gorilla glared and growled threateningly at the four of them, and then, miraculously, he proceeded to pull a large heavy lever next to Barry's cell. He bought it! The ape then grabbed Barry by the ankle and tossed him aside, directly on top of a giant pile of bones outside of the cell. As the guard walked away, he growled in a low voice, "Grodd had no use for him anyways."
The team was silent for a few moments to ensure they were out of the gorilla's earshot.
After a while, Harry said in a hoarse whisper, "Psst! He's gone, Barry! Vibrate to heat yourself up."
Barry faintly heard him but knew exactly what to do. He willed the molecules in his own body to go faster and faster until he was vibrating all over, generating enough heat in his body to finally take a proper gasp of breath.
Shaking from the cold he felt, Barry rolled off the pile of bones and tried to steady his breathing.
Cisco, realizing that their plan had actually succeeded, yelled out with glee, jumping and fist pumping the air, saying "IT WORKED!"
Harry and Caitlin shot Cisco reprimanding looks and shushed him, looking over their shoulders to make sure they hadn't been heard.
Cisco clasped a hand over his mouth. Oops. "It worked," he whispered, softer than before but with the same enthusiasm to Barry.
Barry groaned and slowly made his way to the other two levers to open their cell doors. He summoned enough strength to wrench the levers downward and the cell doors screeched open.
Caitlin and Harry scurried out of their cells, and Cisco and Julian did the same. Cisco threw a quick halleluiah to the heavens before he left the cell, thanking God that this was actually happening.
Once they were out, Barry let go of the levers letting the doors slam shut again. Caitlin looked at Barry, who was still shaking slightly, feeling awful that she had to freeze him and asked, "I didn't freeze you too much, did I?"
Barry huffed out, "Ah, no. No, I'm good." He gave her a small half-smile and then looked sheepishly to the ground trying his best to gather himself.
"Good," Caitlin said, relieved.
"Okay, great," Harry says, interrupting the moment. "Let's get out of here before Grodd kills us."
"Okay, guys, grab on to me," Barry instructs. "I'm gonna run us out of here till we are outside the city." They all grab onto Barry, holding tight as they are all thrown into a blur of color and wind, feeling the ground drag under their feet.
Barry slid them all to a halt and they found themselves in the middle of the forest with Gorilla City in the distance.
Julian's stomach didn't take too kindly to Barry speeding them out of there and he started to feel sick. They all heard a gorilla—most likely Grodd—roar in the distance, furious with their departure.
"Open a breach, Cisco! NOW!" Caitlin yelled.
"Time to warp outta this mad house!" Cisco announced, slipping on his vibe goggles. He raised a fist out in front of him and made blue dimensional energy ignite from his fist to form a breach to Earth-1.
Barry, Caitlin, Julian and Harry all made it through the breach and back onto Earth-1 in S.T.A.R. Labs safely. They all staggered, catching their balance and looking back at the swirly blue breach waiting for Cisco to finally jump from it.
But he didn't.
They waited for a few moments and then the breach did something unexpected: it shriveled up and caved in on itself altogether.
The team stared at each other in utter horror, realizing what this meant.
Oh, no. Cisco.
