Can I tell y'all something? I love you guys. You all are actually the best, you know that? I mean... all the feedback on this story... guys. You're killing me over her with kindness. Thank you all so much. :D

And this chapter is a teeny break from all da angst! I know we all love angst but we can only take so much XD


Frost was now being patched up fully from her tiny wound from Cicada - it was just a scratch, but it still needed bandaging. Caitlin was guiding Frost through her words, and Frost repeated them to Barry, who was doing everything so delicately and tenderly.

"Okay... now apply the gauze there," said Frost, pointing to a certain area of her wound. "Ow ow ow!"

"Sorry Snowflake," Barry said gently, "but trust me - it'll feel better in a bit."

"I know," she said, still clutching her teeth.

"You're doing so great," Caitlin said from inside her head. "I'm so proud of you, Frosty!"

Frost smiled inwardly, happy that Caitlin was proud of her... she didn't think she deserved people to be proud of her in her current status, but she was still uplifted.

"I think I'm finally feeling better," said Frost. "I think I've cried my limit for today..."

"Never be ashamed to ask for a shoulder, Frost," Barry said, laying down the medication. "I'm always here for you. Heck, if you needed me to run over and talk to you about something that was bothering you, I'd gladly do it... because you're my friend. And I love my friends."

Frost smiled widely. "You're my friend too, Barry. You're... you're my bestie."

Now it was Barry's turn to smile. "You're my bestie too, Frosty."

Suddenly, another face popped into the room - Nora. "Uncle Cisco is working with Grandma Cecile on gathering all the info we've gotten on Cicada for his trial."

"I still can't believe he gets one," Frost muttered, "he doesn't deserve one for what he did to Caity."

"While I agree, it is law that everyone gets a fair trial," Barry said, "and we have to think - he isn't a big dealer or anything. He can't buy brownie points with the jury or judge."

Frost nodded, and scooted over, gesturing for Nora to come and sit down next to her.

Nora happily did so, never shirking a chance to spend with her Auntie Frost. "Can I say hi to Auntie Cait?" she asked gently.

"Hi Nora!" Caitlin said from inside Frost's head. "I love you, sweetie!"

"She says hi back, and she loves you," smiled Frost.

"Aww... I love you too, Auntie!" smiled Nora, talking happily to Frost's forehead. Of course, she still loved Frost - but she always gave her and Caitlin equal amounts of love, and now would be no different, even if she couldn't directly speak to the doctor.

Barry smiled. "I'm glad we're getting ready to take down Cicada... he made a big mistake by going after Cait."

"Grandma Cecile's just as ticked," said Nora. "She's as ready as we are to lock him up."

"I'll just be happy he can't hurt anyone else," said Caitlin, from inside her head. "It'll be much safer for everyone once he's gone..."

Suddenly...

Barry looked up. He looked at Frost, then back up. "You two... come with me..." he said, running off in one direction.

"Where are we going?" asked Frost, standing up with Nora.

"To test something," Barry said, "and if it works... I may be able to start formulating a plan to cure you."


Cisco and Cecile were hard at work together. Sherloque was off somewhere else, putting clues together in another room.

"How are we looking there, Mrs. D.A.?" Cisco asked.

"We're looking good," Cecile said, "We're cracking down on him like a swatter on a fly."

Cisco turned away from his work to eyeball her. "Was... was that a bug pun?"

Cecile chuckled at her terrible pun. "I-I'm sorry! I never was good with puns!"

The engineer couldn't help but laugh himself. "Yeah... i-its not even the right bug!"

"I-I KNOW!" Cecile exclaimed, still laughing in her chair. Cisco was shaking his head while laughing, proud to call this woman his teammate.

"You know... we really need a good laugh after today," Cisco said. "So really, in hindsight, the pun wasn't all that bad."

"No no, it was still terrible, and not even a pun, really," Cecile chuckled, "but yes, I do agree - it did provide a nice calm."

"You need to hang out here more," Cisco said, "everyone who says your no fun is a meanie-head."

"Well, my job isn't exactly the... friendliest to all the party, let's say," the D.A. said, nodding, "so I can understand where they come from - but thank you, Cisco! I can see why Barry and Caitlin like you so much."

"Thanks," Cisco nodded, "I like em too... probably the two best people I've ever known."

They would've continued with their conversation, which had led to their mini-bromance, but suddenly, the meta-alert went off.

Cisco sighed, looking at it - he had really forgotten it was even here. "Its him..."


I told you I've never written Cecile before - can't you tell? I've already put her into a bromance with Cisco for no reason XD jkjk I love writing her!

And also - a potential cure for Frost? COULD IT BE? You'll have to stay tuned to find out! ;) The next chapter will be out by the weekend - I'm taking a step back to finish the finale of my Season 3 AU, which should be up Friday! :D

In the meantime, I LOVE ALL YOU GUYS! I'LL SEE YOU ALL VERY SOOOOONNNN :D :D :D

CAITLIN LIVES ON! SCREW YOU ORLIN!
