Everyone facing the urgent agenda of saving Iris and catching Abra Kadabra, the atmosphere was filled with total worry. Everyone seemed to be preoccupied with thinking about this, so Team Flash was facing dark days.

When they finally caught the bad guy, Joe messed everything up. He opened his cage and when Gypsy appeared, he got away. Abra Kadabra waited for this for a long time. When he found the last part of what he needed, the power source, he would be able to get back into his time. He put out a detecting device and looked after the source, after he just managed to flew from Gypsy. When he headed to the Cortex his device led him right to the hidden time room and he found it, finally. Glad, he took it and was on his way to go.
Suddenly Joe appeared behind him, when he wanted to get into the lift, a shot from the detective's gun went right trough him, it doesn't even hurt him. With a grin he turned around, faced his attacker,. "We had a deal." Joe reminded him angry. "Your freedom for Savitar's identity." he really thought, after Gypsy interrupted and him shooting at Kadabra, that he still was about to tell him what he wanted to urgently to know. Not that he ever wanted to. It was so much fun, to play with desperate people. "I've altered the terms of our agreement." Abra said coldly. "It appears that you have as well."
In the next moment he blew off the place with a small sort of bomb, to interfere their next moves. "Move." yelled detective West but it was too late. The hall before the elevator ended in a mess and a blast wave threw Joe, and Caitlin and Julian, who just ran into the situation, trough the air. All three of them crushed against walls. Abra Kadabra vanished.

When Julian hit the floor, he first asked himself if Caitlin was okay before he worried about his own health. Fast he run to her, several pieces lay around her and he was afraid something hit her. "Caitlin! Caitlin, are you all right?" he asked fearful."Yeah" she said exerted. He reached out for her and she took the hand he offered her. Carefully he helped her to stand and she felt pain running through her body, especially on her right side. Then he saw a piece iron stuck in her side, he panicked. The only thing he knew was that he needed to do something.

"We need to pull that out, to see it that was the only thing that hit me." Caitlin told Julian. But he just nodded, his eyes filled with fear. "When I count to three. One – Two – " As carefully as he could, he dragged it, she groaned, tears filled her eyes because it hurt.

Barry and Wally came the next moment and saw what happened. "We need to take her out of here." Julian screamed desperately. They nodded and carefully walked into their surgery room, helped her to walk the short way. "What happened?" Cisco met them before they entered, heard a noise and asked himself what was going on. Julian told him, while they entered the surgery room. Carefully she lay on the bed. Julian was overextended, his brain worked just out of affect. He just knew that they needed to get the remainig parts out of her body. They all stood around Caitlin and Julian tried his best. "The, um, the...hand me the X-ray machine, grab it for us, would you, please?" he said very unsecure and irritated.
Barry handed it over. "Okay good. Remove it." said Julian, watched afterwards on the screen, while Cisco removed the part of her blouse, where the iron bar hit her. The X-ray machine told him if and where to find the splintered particles of whatever hit her. "How bad is it?" asked Caitlin, who suffered from pain.
Julian saw that the iron bar hurt more than he thought. "Uh, it's bad." Julian had no real idea if it wasn't better to bring her to a hospital, but he knew they would find out, that she was a meta. 'Concentrate' he thought and tried to get rid of his thought. "It's bad, there's quite a dew pieces shrapnel inside you, and they look deep enough to pierce your kidney if they're not removed immediately." When he finished, he put the X-ray machine on the table near by. Steadily he became more and more afraid that something really bad would happen. And Caitlin didn't seem like she could hold the pain much longer.

Now Iris just spoke out, what Julian thought before. "Guys, we have to get her to a hospital." She said, also worried. "We cant, they're gonna ID her as a meta."Cisco replied, still pressed his hands on her wound, to made it less bleeding.

"And not just any meta." Wally said. "Yeah, one that we have a file on for attacking CCPD." Joe added. "Then what are we going to do? None of us are doctors and she can't operate on herself." Julian heard Iris saying desperately.
The whole gang stood beside Caitlin, all caring and worrying about what would happen to her. Julian wished they would all shut up, because he really tried to concentrate, to find an answer to their problem, to Caitlin's problem. The Briton really wanted to help her, but he didn't know, how exactly he could help her. And while all of them were arguing about what was the best, he knew that they were running out of time. The expression on her face told him the same, she looked racked with pain. While Caitlin switched to look to Cisco and to Julian every know and than, Barry worked something out. "We do have another option." he said calmly, he seemed to be the only calm person in the room at that moment. They all looked at him. "What is it?"

Cisco totally understood what Barry was about to say, but he also knew that Caitlin wouldn't accept this. "When Caitlin goes meta, her metabolic rate offsets cold tissue destruction." While he spoke horror lay opon her face. "No, we're not gonna take off my necklace." she said in the strongest tone, she could offer. More panic run through her body, when she heard him saying this. "I don't need a hospital! All I need is a mirror and a steady set of hands." Suddenly her eyes swapped to Julian. "You were a field medic in the Royal Army, right?"

"What? No, I-II've never operated on anyone before."

A shock hit him. Was she insane? Did she really lay her live in his hands? Once more Julian panicked, his heart throbbed faster than ever.

"That's okay, I'll walk you through it." she said fast.

"Caitlin, you're talking about staying awake during your own surgery." Julian said shocked.

"I'm putting my life in your hands. I trust you, Julian." Her eyes fixated his, she was sure about what she was saying and she knew, he was able to do what she asked him for. Julian on the other hand was still totally insecure about this and was afraid, he could mess everything up. He was clearly in the picture that she put her life in his hands. That was an action of total trust. She showed him, that she trusted him so much and in this moment he totally forgot that he wasn't trusting her completely. In this moment, this short moment, he looked up on her, to do what she was about to do.

The next moment Julian's mind came back to the present, he shortly pressed his hands on hers, afterwards he quickly left the room and overlay himself with some doctor tunic and don surgical gloves. After a short amount of time he came back in and when Caitlin's eyes met his again, he smiked lightly. "Ready?" she asked him, when he stood on her side."Ready as I'll ever be." He tried to calm down and to get his fingers as calm as possible, too. It was so quiet in the room, he could hear his breath and his heart jumping against his chest.

"Okay, Let's start with the shrapnel on the surface." Caitlin coordinated him and Iris brought him his tool, which was a sort of surgical forceps. As composed as possible he grabbed it and crouched down to see better. "Just let me know, if I do any..thing wrong, okay?" Carefully he came near her skin and looked for the shrapnel. He found something black at the front of the skin and tried to pull it out. He barely heard Caitlin groans, because he concentrated so much, to hurt her not to much. Slowly he pulled it out. He was relieved when he dropped the piece to the bowl.

"Okay, that's the first it. Well done." he said more to himself than t anyone else.

After some complications every bit of it were gone and they all were very relieved. After Julian stitched her up, they advised her to rest for a couple of hours.
