I do not own any characters, plots, or anything else pertaining to "The Flash" or "DC Comics". Once again, I'm overwhelmed with all the support I'm receiving for this story. It's my most successful story yet and I'm happy that there are still so many Snowbarry fans within the fandom. As always, a special thanks to all of you for following/favoriting and commenting.
Chapter 10
Love Conquers All
Caitlin makes her way to the middle of the city, where she knows Amunet is wreaking havoc. She hates that she picked today to lure her out for battle, especially when her relationship with Barry is just beginning. Barry. Her heart aches at the thought of never seeing him again. He's her everything and has been, since the day he had woken up from that coma. Caitlin prays that she makes it through this, that they finally get a chance to be together. She looks ahead and spots Amunet in the distance, holding someone up within her grasp, and pressing a piece of metal to their neck. Caitlin's heart stops, as she approaches the two figures, and sees that the person in question is her mother. Caitlin feels fear consume her and she morphs into Killer Frost.
The fear within Caitlin's mother's eyes causes a pang in her icy heart. "Let her go." Amunet gives her a sly smile. "Welcome to the party, Frost. I knew your alter ego wouldn't let me destroy the city on account of her." Killer Frost gives the woman a glare, regretting Caitlin's decision to ask her to help get rid of her abilities. "I don't have time for this. Let her go or I'll be forced to get nasty." Amunet's grin widens. "Poor weak Caitlin, I knew this would force her to morph into you. I'm glad I have your attention now." Killer Frost let's out a frosty breath. "What do you want?" Amunet lifts another piece of metal with her powers and aims it at her. "You know what I want. Now, stop running and give yourself over, to the darkness inside of you." Killer Frost gives her another glare, stuck in a position she can't control. She won't let her ruin Caitlin, despite how annoying she can be. Killer Frost lifts her hands, ready to attack, when a whoosh comes up behind her. Surprised, she turns to see the Flash standing gallantly behind her and Caitlin's incessant friend Cisco standing next to him.
Killer Frost knows this will be a bust before they even start fighting Amunet. "Well, well, well. If it isn't the Flash and who are you?" Cisco takes a step forward, apparently trying to appear tougher than he is. "The name's Vibe, I'm sure you've heard of me." Amunet shakes her head. "Sorry, dear, I'm afraid I haven't heard of you. I promise I'll make sure they engrave Vibe on your grave, so someone will know who you are." Killer Frost turns to Cisco, who looks completely deflated. She watches Barry take a step forward, seemingly frustrated with the whole situation. "That's enough Amunet, why did you lure Cait to turn into Killer Frost? What do you gain from all this?" Amnuet lets out a cackle from behind her and even she shivers.
Everything is silent for a few moments and for the first time, Killer Frost notices just how scared Barry looks. Usually, he puts on some fake bravado, but not this time. Could it be that something between him and her alter ego has finally shifted? Killer Frost turns back to Amunet. "I'm afraid Flash, that you won't be able to save your beloved Doctor. You see, there's a reason I chose Dr. Snow to hold captive. Not only because she's Caitlin's mother, but because she's the only person that knows how to transform her into Killer Frost permanently." She looks at Caitlin's mother, terror written all over her face. "Let my daughter go." she says shakily, but Amunet moves another piece of sharp metal towards her heart. "I'm sorry Dr. Snow, but your daughter will be dead soon, and all you'll have left is this icy version of her." Killer Frost feels anger flare up inside of her, as she creates her own sharp ice crystal. She hides it behind her back, while Amunet's attention is focused on Caitlin's mother, and prays that the boys are smart enough to take the hint.
In the next few seconds, Killer Frost feels a quick burst of wind behind her, and watches as Vibe appears through a portal behind Amunet. He wastes no time in stabbing her in the back, just missing her heart. Amunet falls to her knees and releases Caitlin's mother. Barry catches her before she hits the ground and Killer Frost rushes over to Amunet. She immobilizes her quickly by creating another ice crystal and stabbing her through her precious gloved hand. Her eyes glare at her, as she writhes in pain on the ground. "I guess you're not so tough now, without your special weapon." As Amunet's eyes begin to close, Killer Frost let's her anger dissipate, and morphs back into Caitlin.
Caitlin looks down at an unconscious Amunet on the ground and is thankful that Killer Frost managed to defeat her. She feels a hand touch her shoulder gently and turns to see Barry standing in front of her. "Cait, are you okay?" Caitlin nods her head and suddenly finds herself in his arms. She loves the warmth that's spreading within her, as he brings her head to rest against his chest. "Your mom's safe, Cisco vibed her back to Star Labs." Caitlin breathes his familiar scent in and knows she'll never get enough of him. "Thank you for coming, even though I told you not to." She knows he's smiling, as he squeezes her to him. "I'd never let you do it alone, Cait. We're a team and in this together." Caitlin feels him kiss the top of her head. "What should we do with Amunet?" Barry pulls back a little to look at her. "We could send her to A.R.G.U.S." Cait gives him a nod. "I think that will be the best place for her." Caitlin looks up and gives him a smile. "I'll give them a call to transport her." Her hand rests over his heart, as their eyes lock. "That's why I love all of you, Barry Allen. Whether you're the Flash or Barry, you're always saving the day." He gives her a smirk and brushes his right hand against her cheek. "You're just as strong, Cait. Whether you're Killer Frost or Dr. Snow, you're always saving me." With that, she can't stop herself from leaning in and giving him a long passionate kiss. The two finally embarking on their long and happy future together.
