"What exactly is going on in here? I didn't walk into some weird couple thing did I?" Barry asked when he entered the cortex to see Cisco running a scanner over Caitlin's body from the medbay.
"Relax Barry, Cisco's just running a dark matter scanner on me." Caitlin said and Barry nodded.
"Okay, so anyways Cisco, why are you running a dark matter scanner over Caitlin?" Barry asked.
"Because I recently discovered I have powers, despite checking myself with the dark matter scanner and getting no results back, so I thought it might be best to double check Caitlin with it again." Cisco said as he scanned her brain and it went off.
"What's going on?" Caitlin asked.
"The scanners picking up something, but it might not necessarily be dark matter." Cisco said as he brought results up onto the computers.
"It looks like there's definitely dark matter in your system, particularly around your brain, but there's something else in there to. Some sort of anomaly." Cisco said.
"Really?" Caitlin asked as she took a closer look.
"Cisco, you know one way to bring her powers to the surface." Barry said to Cisco, who nodded as he walked up to Caitlin, who was so immersed in what she was looking at that she didn't even notice Cisco walk up behind her.
"Lexi Laroche." Cisco whispered in her ear and the words had the desired effect on Caitlin as she turned around and her eyes were now silver and her hair was turning white.
"You should know better than to say that name around me Cisco." Killer Frost hissed at him as her voice distorted.
"Never thought I'd say this, but it's good to see you again frosty." Cisco said.
"Are you hoping I'll give you a kiss in this form Cisco? I don't think you'll like that." Killer Frost said.
"Who are we talking to? Caitlin or Killer Frost?" Barry asked.
"Who says we're not one in the same on this earth." Killer Frost said as she reverted back to Caitlin.
"Wait, Cait, is that really you?" Cisco asked.
"Yeah, it's me Cisco." Caitlin said as they hugged and Barry smiled as he was next.
"Now we've got the original trio back together." Barry said.
"Yes, but anyways, there's something definitely different on this earth than before." Caitlin said.
"Really, what's that?" Barry asked.
"Even when I take on her appearance, I'm still the one in control. It's actually me in the driver's seat, not someone else." Caitlin said.
"Maybe it's because of how your powers emerged this time. I mean before, you hated them, so maybe that caused you to somehow subconsciously split yourself into Caitlin and Killer Frost." Barry said.
"Maybe." Caitlin agreed.
"Iris is also here." Cisco added.
"Great, maybe now we can all go on a double date." Caitlin said.
"Yeah, how exactly do you feel about us dating in this universe?" Cisco asked, suddenly feeling a bit awkward and Caitlin smiled.
"If anything Cisco, I think it's long overdue and how neither of us realized that there was something more between us than friendship or as pseudo siblings is beyond me." Caitlin said and Cisco smiled.
"Just wanted to make sure we were good on that front." Cisco said and Caitlin smiled.
"We're great. And it's easier knowing that Ronnie and I weren't engaged on this earth, since that will make it easier to let him down when we find him and Stein and we will find them." Caitlin said.
"Man, I forgot that Stein will still be alive on this earth." Barry said.
"So will Snart." Cisco added.
"Speaking of which, we should probably dismantle both the cold and heat guns before they end up in the wrong hands." Caitlin said and Cisco nodded, right as Dr. Wells approached them and Caitlin had to work hard to keep herself from going frosty at the sight of the man who'd ruined her life before.
"What are you talking about?" Dr. Wells asked.
"We recently discovered that Caitlin also has powers." Cisco said.
"Really, well, it seems like while dark matter turned you 3 and Ms. West into heroes, all it did to me was take away my ability to walk and destroy both my reputation and any hope I had of reconciling with my daughter." Wells said, taking Barry by surprise.
"You have a daughter?" Barry asked.
"Yes Jesse. But I have not talked to her since my wife Tess died, actually not long after your mother died Barry." Wells said and Barry silently released a breath he didn't know he was holding. So Jesse was the real Wells's daughter and not Thawne's. That was a relief.
"Why not?" Barry asked.
"Because after my wife died, I was not a good father to the point that child services actually came and took Jesse away. She was adopted a few years and I've been forbidden from doing anything more that providing child support payments ever since." Wells said and Barry relaxed. So Jesse had not been raised by this psycho.
"Why would the accelerator explosion destroy any chance you'd have of reconnecting with her?" Caitlin asked.
"Because being related to the man who did so much harm to this city is not something that makes it easy to have friends." Wells said and they all had to give him that, right as Barry's phone rang.
"Hello?" Barry asked.
"Hey, where are you?" Joe asked.
"I'm at Star Labs, why?" Barry asked.
"I got a fresh crime scene A dead body Detectives interviewing witnesses miles of that yellow tape stretched over everything. I'm only missing one thing." Joe said and Barry groaned.
"I'm on my way." Barry said as he sped out of the room.
"Okay well, while he's doing that, perhaps we should take this time for you two to train to learn to better use and control your powers." Wells said and Cisco and Caitlin looked at each other before nodding in agreement with him.
