Caitlin looked around at her surroundings. Eobard Thawne or whatever his name was had left a while back. She had been struggling to wriggle her wrists free for a while now and she knew that she almost had it. If she could just wriggle them a little more… and she did it! Her wrists were free from behind her. She unbound her legs in a few seconds and stood up.
She was in a storage shed. She crept towards the door. Fortunately, the fool had left it unlocked. The sun shone in on her eyes. She could make her escape. She decided to use the alleyways. Close by she heard a gang of thugs stirring. So she continued to walk in to the alley until she saw who was making the noise. There were three thugs.
"Shh… Someone's coming." One of them said. One of the young men had seen her.
Caitlin smiled to herself. She was aching to have a little fun.
"How are you doing, princess?" the one who had spoken called out to her, he pulled out a knife and he and his two associates began zeroing in on Caitlin.
"Do you really think you're a match for me?" she asked them. Caitlin raised her hands slowly and began toying with the ice particles that had formed in her hands.
"The pretty girl knows a few party tricks." One of the other men said, "come on, blondie. Let's have some fun." He pulled out a small pistol.
All three of the men ran and closed in on her, coming from three different directions. She shot an ice projectile at the one in the middle. It wounded him severely. She created an ice wall to protect herself from the man with the gun as he aimed and shot at her from her right side. The bullet was lodged into the thick ice. Then she shot an ice projectile knocking him to the ground. She had forgotten about the third man, who came from behind her.
He was much taller and stronger than she was. He held both her hands from behind her with just one of his hands and held a knife to her throat. Close by she heard someone else approaching and slowly clapping their hands. She looked up and was surprised when she saw who it was.
The familiar man had long dark hair down to his shoulders and a slight stubbly appearance. His clothing style was also very different. But she was absolutely certain that it was him.
"Cisco Ramon…" she said, "Does Astrid know that you go around with thugs in your spare time? This is an entirely new side of you."
The newcomer looked at her with an expression of pure confusion. "How do you know that name?" he asked her.
This time it was Caitlin that was confused. She didn't answer, but she tried to struggle free. The man who had hold of her was so strong that she felt he must have had super strength. Her arms were starting to hurt.
Cisco clicked his fingers and the man who had a hold of her, dug the knife deeper into her skin.
"I asked you a question, Frosty. How do you that name? I haven't gone by that name in a very long time." he asked her again, all the more serious.
Whatever was going on, had Caitlin baffled. None the less, she needed to get out of here. Despite the pain in her arms, she formed a large blast of ice from her fists. It shot upwards, from behind her and knocked the man backwards. She was free. She shot an ice blast at Cisco, knocking him backwards and began to run away in the other direction.
She thought that she had escaped, until a large translucent blur appeared before her. Cisco reappeared from inside and landed on the ground a few feet in front of her. He shot a projectile at her. It seemed to be made from the same type of energy as the blur. It knocked her backwards and she fell to the ground.
Caitlin looked at him baffled as he inched closer to her. She blasted an ice projectile back at him, it knocked him backwards, but he regained his balance, again. Caitlin tried to get up, though the minute she did, she was suddenly transported right back to the seat in the storage shed and tied up again. Eobard had returned.
"You did just as I knew you would." He said, but he did not seem angry in the slightest. In fact, he seemed rather amused by her actions. "You're amused… Why?" she questioned him.
Eobard laughed, "Because it doesn't matter where you go. You're no longer in the same world as you once were. That man out there, his name was Cisco Ramon. But he is not the Cisco you would know. Your friend Astrid… Never existed. Barry Allen… He isn't The Flash in this world either. Let's say, I wanted you to see it for yourself."
"So I believe you. So, what now?" Caitlin asked him.
"Now, we get started with phase 2. Let's bring out the Killer in Killer Frost and rid the world of Barry's faithful friend Caitlin Snow." He replied.
A smile formed across Caitlin's face. "Let's go have some fun!" she agreed.
While Barry was at work, Astrid and Cisco took the STAR labs van patrolling around Central City scouring for any sign of their friend Caitlin. Cisco drove, whilst Astrid kept in communication with Firestorm.
"Don't worry, Astrid. We will find her." Cisco told her as she put her phone back in her purse.
Astrid didn't answer him. Instead, she placed her elbow on the window and rested the side of her head on her hand. She was beginning to give up hope.
She had removed her bracelet before they had left, to scan for Caitlin's thoughts, but she hadn't received anything. Something just didn't feel right.
"I never saw Oliver leave." Cisco tried again, to bring up conversation. He was trying his best to keep her at ease.
"Thea was hurt. He needed to see to her, so he left while you were fixing the splicer." Astrid replied. Her head was beginning to hurt. "Last night Caitlin went to a biker bar, the one on Northpoint, right?" she wondered.
"Yeah, it was on Northpoint. Why?" Cisco asked her.
"Last night, she also came to Amaraasia Oasis, interrupting my dinner with Ollie, which is also on Northpoint. She told me that she wanted to have some fun. I think she is having doubts about her wedding and that is why she is letting her powers control her. Maybe she is out having fun. We should checkout some of the bars," Astrid decided.
"It's only 3 in the afternoon. I don't think there will be too much going on at the moment." He replied.
"It's worth a shot. Maybe we should start on Northpoint. I know the police are still doing their investigations, but we can still try." She managed to persuade him to drive to the bar on Northpoint.
As the two climbed out of the van, Cisco received a vision.
He saw Eddie watching Caitlin leaving Amarasia Oasis, from across the street. He saw Eddie grab her and run. But what surprised him is that Eddie had the same power as Barry. He was a speedster. Eddie and Caitlin disappeared into an orb of light, not to be seen again.
"Cisco… Cisco!" Astrid put her hand on her friend's shoulder. His expression was blank. After a moment, he finally looked at her, but his face was still emotionless.
"Are you ok?" she asked him, "Your mind went somewhere else, for a moment."
"Astrid," he began with a tone that mirrored his face, "Eddie took Caitlin somewhere… Somewhere that we can't find her."
"Don't be silly, Cisco. This isn't the time for jokes." She scolded.
He shook his head softly and continued with the same tone, "Astrid, Eddie is a speedster. He took Caitlin into an orb of light. I saw it."
