Hello guys
So, thanks for all the support with this and a new chapter
Do not own Flash or anything in the Arrowverse
Later at an apartment
Iris is standing in the living room, dressed in her usual with silently fuming at her fiancé. Barry ignored her orders, has been ignoring her since getting back to Star Labs or has returned home yet so she can find out what is going on with him.
Hearing the door open and close Iris turns around to see Barry standing there, a slight mix of emotions on his face.
"What do you think you've been doing earlier? You ignored my orders and have been ignoring me since then. I'm going to be your wife and you don't need to treat me this way" Iris said angrily.
Meeting her eyes "Quit acting like Felicity Smoak thinking you're in charge of the team and listen. You are not a leader material, you're a reporter and certainly not experienced at all in handling metahumans like the rest of us" Barry said sharply.
"Don't talk to me like this" Iris replied upset.
"I think I have an easier time dealing with Harry than you" Barry said pulling his ring off and dropping it to the floor.
"What are you doing? You are seriously not calling our marriage off, are you?" Iris asked glaring.
"That's exactly what I'm doing. And I can't believe I didn't see this before but I'm starting to realize just how selfish and immature you really are. I should have realized this years ago, but I was so wrapped up in the fantasy version of you I didn't" Barry said.
"I am not selfish or immature" Iris said.
"After finding out I was the Flash you blamed me for Eddie getting kidnapped when there was nothing I could have done to stop it. When you were in a relationship with Eddie you all but threw yourself at me, then ran back to Eddie as a cover knowing how much it would hurt me. You ruined my relationship with Lina outside of my own dumb choices, and there is other stuff you have done" Barry replied.
"You're misremembering that stuff" Iris said with a shake of her head.
"No, I think I'm truly remembering very clearly now. I don't love you Iris and I've wasted years of my life running after something I don't even want" Barry replied grimly.
"Fine if you really want us to not be married then we won't" Iris said angrily removing her ring and throwing it at him.
Barry simply picks up both rings and vibrates them both hard enough to turn them into dust then lets that dust simply fall into the air.
"Stay out of my life Iris West and do not ever come around Star Labs again unless it's say an invasion of Gorillas or aliens" Barry said getting his emotions back under control.
Before Iris can even respond Barry has already left the room and speeding off somewhere.
few hours later at the pipeline in STAR Labs
Barry walks down the tunnel having needed to go spend some time getting his head clear. Now Barry knows it's time to bring a friend back, hitting the side button to cause the circular door to open revealing Killer Frost inside her cell.
"Oh, hello Flash, you miss me?" Killer Frost asked smirking.
"Yes. We need to talk Caitlin" Barry said walking forward.
"Don't call me that" Killer Frost said angrily.
"Why? It's your real name" Barry said stopping just outside her cell.
"It's the name of a person who is dead to me" Killer Frost replied bitterly.
"No, it's the name of a person who you want dead. Because then your life would be a lot easier, only you can't get rid of her. That's proven by how many chances you've had to kill Cisco, me and the rest of us but still can't" Barry said.
"And you just want her back with me all gone, don't you" Killer Frost replied bitterly.
"No," Barry said with a shake of his head then meeting her gaze "For the rest of them maybe, but I want both of you. Because you're the same person to me. Your good and bad I'll take all of it, any day."
"Really? Aren't you married?" Killer Frost asked with a smirk.
Showing her his now ringless hand "No I broke things off with Iris. Partially because we were not good each other, especially since she brings out the worst in me. Frankly, I'm still surprised she didn't get a restraining order on me years ago given my obsession certainly warranted one" Barry said.
"Anybody in your life who you would consider would bring out the best in you?" Killer Frost asked.
"You" Barry said simply.
"Don't even go there, you ignored me for years" Killer Frost said resentfully.
"For years? Sounds like Caitlin is not as dead as you want her to be" Barry said.
"Unfortunately," Killer Frost said.
"You know you could let Caitlin co-exist alongside you" Barry said.
"I'm not sure she is entirely fond of that idea either" Killer Frost said.
"Well maybe if Caitlin, you quit trying to shut Frost out entirely and you quit trying to hurt the people you still care for then maybe Caitlin would let you" Barry said.
"If there was some agreement, between us I would be spending my time as doctor tending to whatever metahuman you drag into STAR labs. No thanks, I prefer some action" Killer Frost said.
"You could always help me on the field" Barry said.
"Sorry but no. I still want you all to die" Killer Frost said.
"Yeah, I don't think so. If you actually wanted us dead, we would be dead" Barry said.
"Why don't you open this prison and see for yourself" Killer Frost said, with a light sneer.
"I just might. I do know one thing you might both agree on is what you yelled at me after I killed Savitar" Barry said.
"Do not even go there. Because you've been obsessed over Iris West for years and even though you broke up with her you'll go crawling back eventually" Killer Frost replied angrily.
"Yeah, I used to be. I'm not anymore, hearing you say it and a few other things forced me to confront truths I've been running from" Barry said.
"I don't believe you. Not even Savitar felt that way towards me" Killer Frost replied angrily.
Barry glances off for a moment like weighing his options before refocusing on the glass door.
Coming to a choice Barry walks literally right through the door itself and stands less than a foot away from Killer Frost. Killer Frost makes an ice knife in her left hand with immediately going to stab Barry in his head, only for him to grab Frost's wrist half way stopping the metahuman.
"I love you" Barry said looking her directly in the eyes.
"I'm still going to kill you" Killer Frost said, but it's barely even believable.
Letting out a brief smirk Barry leans his face down slightly to kiss Killer Frost on her lips. For a moment Barry's skin turns blue only for it to return to its natural color as Barry is drawing on the endless speed force to maintain his body heat.
Dropping the ice knife which shatters to the floor Killer Frost returns the kiss for a moment, enjoying the literal warmth that is coming from inside of Barry before stepping back.
Looking at him in surprise "How are you able to last and not turn into a cold corpse?" Killer Frost asked.
"Speed force" Barry replied with a shrug.
"You are probably the only guy on this planet I can actually kiss without killing. Not that I'm complaining" Killer Frost said with a grin then drops it "But Caitlin still is not coming back."
"All I want is you to not trying to be a criminal or hurting my family. Other than that, as much as I want Caitlin back I'll take you all the same" Barry said.
"You're serious?" Killer Frost asked.
"When are you going to get it. Caitlin or Killer Frost whatever you want to call yourself, you're both the same to me. My original plan was to get Caitlin back entirely, but I realized that was a stupid one. The both of you are the same person and you're not completely evil" Barry said.
"Then what am I?" Killer Frost asked.
"Lost, angry and hurt. You are all of Caitlin's darker traits that she kept buried for years all into one persona" Barry said.
After a moment Killer Frost remains silent then suddenly her skin color fades away to normal. The only remaining trace of Killer Frost on Caitlin is her hair is white.
"Hello, Barry" Caitlin said looking at him, with her normal smile.
"You both managed to figure out how to co-exist?" Barry asked, inwardly bursting with joy.
"Yep. My personality is probably going to end up being a little mixed as we… I figure out how to readjust" Caitlin replied.
"No more we?" Barry asked.
"Not as frequently. You were right, Killer Frost may be all of my darker traits but it's still me" Caitlin said, "You played us both pretty well in all of that."
"I had Oliver Queen for a mentor and Savitar might still have been my time remnant, but there is a part of him in me as well" Barry said grimly.
Glancing around "Uh you want to get us out of here?" Caitlin asked.
"Oh right" Barry said grabbing her arm "Here."
Barry still having ahold of Caitlin walks them both through the cell door and into the pipeline tunnel.
"You know those cells are supposed to be able to a speedster including you as well" Caitlin said.
"Not with me like this. On running basically, the full power of the speed force that my body can take to its highest limit without being destroyed" Barry replied.
"Something changed for you with your abilities recently, hasn't it?" Caitlin asked.
"Yeah I stopped holding myself back on the mental limitations" Barry said.
"Are you sure that is wise for the obvious reasons?" Caitlin asked.
"It's still concerning to me sure, but I keep it in check without turning into Zoom or Savitar" Barry replied.
Deciding to change the subject Caitlin leans over kissing Barry on the lips who returns it as Caitlin wraps his arms around his neck. After a moment they break apart for air but smiling at each other, happy.
"I was just testing to see how it felt not being Killer Frost. Purely scientific and all that" Caitlin said.
"Sure" Barry replied, "And what did your scientific conclusions give you?"
"I like doing it both ways" Caitlin said.
"Good. Not going to lie but when your Killer Frost well that has it's own appeal" Barry said.
Interrupting them is a voice from the entrance door to the pipeline "Well when you said you were going to get Caitlin back this was the last thing I expected" Cisco said.
"How much did you watch on the video camera? All of it?" Barry asked.
"Just about. I know you just broke up with Iris so are you sure moving this fast with Caitlin is a good idea?" Cisco asked.
"I know how this could look but it not what you think. I love Caitlin or Killer Frost, they are the same to me. I care for Iris, but we had was the farthest thing from love as you can get" Barry said.
"You love her? I think you might want to slow down a little man" Cisco said skeptically.
Shaking his head "No it's not a spur of the moment thing. I've had feelings for her for years now just buried really deep because I was focused only on Iris, but recent events brought those feelings upward forcing me to confront them. Like Luke Skywalker and Mara Jade at the end of Vision of Future novel" Barry said.
"Well at least you two aren't Tony and Ziva who finally got together the episode she left the show" Cisco said.
Barry gives a light nod knowing with the TV show reference this is Cisco's way of saying he's fine with them being in a relationship.
"Oh we've got to get to Star City" Caitlin said like a sudden horror comes upon her from suddenly remembering some important information.
"What?" Barry and Cisco asked at the same time.
"Savitar shared information about what was going on in Oliver's life during this time, and my dates are correct he's probably going to be kidnapped by Prometheus very soon" Caitlin said.
"I'm guessing it gets worse" Cisco said with a sense of dread.
"Very. Adrian Chase manages to help torture Oliver into believing he killed because he liked it like some sicko would. Eventually Chase's plan ends with setting bombs off on some island and killing most of Oliver's friends and family" Caitlin replied.
"We need to get over to Star City then to stop this" Barry said glancing at her "Killer Frost might be useful."
"She's more than fine for coming out to play" Caitlin said smirking.
After a near minute, Caitlin's skin color and appearance changes into one belonging to Killer Frost. Glancing over Caitlin is surprised to see Barry already in his Flash suit, with his cowl up.
"That was quick" Cisco said.
"I made the suit out of the speed force like it did when I got out the first time. Still has the earpiece and everything" Barry said.
"That beats having to carry your suit around everywhere in a bag" Cisco said.
"Yep. Shall we?" Barry asked looking over at his girlfriend.
"Certainly" Caitlin said.
"There are trackers in Green Arrow's suit and the rest for any of the members of his team. In the STAR Labs database is a file with the GPS information to access those trackers, which Oliver gave me. Use a Palmer Tech satellite to locate him" Barry said.
"On it. Give me more than a few seconds though" Cisco said before turning around and leaving.
The Flash picks up Killer Frost in his arms before speeding out of STAR Labs and within some several minutes they reach Star City. Flash comes to a stop outside a building where Cisco has located the Green Arrow's GPS location.
Hope you all enjoyed this
Yeah Arrow wise I decided to make the ending of 5x23 when Adrian Chase sets those bombs off on Lian Yu have a lot more realistic consequences meaning pretty much everybody on the island ends up dead.
Instead of just Samantha Clayton dead, Thea in a coma, Diggle with some injury and a couple of villains with a bunch of nameless goons.
Until next time
