Chapter 2: Love and hate
Zoom's leering gaze was beginning to annoy her. To him, it were as if she were simply a trophy, a piece of art he could study for the entire day, never getting bored of her face. There was a time, when that would have excited her. Now, it simply made her clench in fear, tremble with worry. Now it was something she was terrified of. "Are you going to say anything?" The woman's voice broke the silence of the cold, dark lair she resided in, chained to the bed as if she were simply just an animal, "or are you just going to stand there and watch me breathe?" Zoom sneered as he moved forward, tapping sharply on the cell containing the man in the metal mask. Caitlin had been wondering, ever since she got here, why he was alive and here. He continued to tap against the glass with his hands, obviously attempting to communicate. The doctor wasn't exactly literate in the language of those with speech impediments, however, she could tell that the strikes were getting stronger as Zoom moved closer to her.
"It is a sight" Zoom sneered in his demonic voice, "I could listen to those sounds for the rest of my life."
"Take that mask off. I won't talk to you with it on." Caitlin replied, looking away from the speedster. At the request, Zoom shrugged and removed his mask, revealing the face of Jay Garrick. Or Hunter Zolomon. Whatever his name was, Caitlin still inhaled sharply at the sight of the man she had opened her heart to living under that mask, in the suit of the demon who had terrorised her friends for months. Who kidnapped Harry's daughter. Who used. All of the team for his plan, to steal Barry's speed.
"Cait, there's..."
"DON'T call me that!" Caitlin said, her words laced with venom as she looked into the devil's eyes with anger. All the anger she had held inside ever since they discovered that he was Zoom, it felt like she had placed it within that small speech.
"Cait-lin, there's a reason why I placed you here, in the place you truly want to be even if you have forgotten it. I believe, that with time, you shall realise that you still, truly, have deep feelings for me." Zoom's tone attempted to be calm and considerate to Caitlin's feelings, the same tone Jay always utilised. If he was attempting to appeal to her, it wasn't going to work.
"Those feelings died when I learned the truth! You used all of us! If you truly loved me, you wouldn't have lied to me." Caitlin's chocolate eyes began to grow with the salts of her soul. But she looked on, steely-eyed, auburn hair tucked behind her ears. She wasn't going to cry. She couldn't let this madman control her. "You are nothing but a monster."
Zoom's look almost glassed over at that as he received visions and heard his mother scream those same words to his father, 'You're nothing but a monster!'. Hunter shook his head to rid those memories from his mind and sped up to eye level with Caitlin, kneeling next to her, raising a hand to touch her cheek. His touch was like fire, burning her and she turned away, pained. Zoom's calm expression turned as well, to one more of mad satisfaction. Quickly, using his speed, he unlocked the cuffs which chained Caitlin to the mattress.
"You're my guest, so I see no reason to keep you in these." He ran his fingers through her locks of brown hair and smiled, "You should make yourself at home. You're going to spend a great deal of time here."
Caitlin's scowl was turned, she couldn't stand to look at him in any way. And then in an instant, blue lightning sped past her, and he was gone. She was finally alone. Standing slowly, she felt her legs nearly giving out under her. She was groggy, and struggled to move as for the length of time she was sitting down. Although she now knew what Zoom wanted from her, she wondered what he would do to get it. She looked into the cell of the masked man, and attempted, once more, to salvage anything from him. All she saw were eyes widened with intense fear. Focusing in, Caitlin didn't notice any movement behind her...and then she heard a voice that sounded too similar to be real.
"Well, hello doppelgänger of mine" The voice exclaimed, an icy but also playful tone present within. Caitlin almost jumped as she saw the face staring back at her, so similar. But that was impossible. "What do you know, I can still pull off brunette" Killer Frost nearly burst out giggling as she saw the doctor's reaction. "What's wrong Caity? You look like you've seen a ghost"
