The first thing Julian saw, when he woke up again was Killer Frost's cold expression and her blue lips, which forced a broad grin. "Welcome back Dr Alchemy." she said coldly. "Hope you won't pass out again. I don't want to wait for you any longer." Alchemy didn't understand what this was about to be. Neither did he know where he was. "Where am I?" Alchemy's voice asked.
"Oh, don't mind that. It doesn't matter. The only thing that matters, is what we are about to do." Julian could barely see, everything was fuzzy, if felt like he didn't had control of his body, as if he was a very far away spectator. His mind was blended, but he could clearly see Caitlin with Killer Frost's silver icy hairs, smiling at him coldly, as he never saw her smiling. She wasn't herself, she was Killer Frost! "Caitlin!" he shouted but no tone came out of Alchemy's mouth. Julian was imprisoned in his own body and Dr Alchemy had control of it.
"Follow me." Killer Frost said and Alchemy did follow. "First we need to break into another warehouse of Argus, our master needs something from it." She explained. "You'll see when we arrive there." They made their way to the place and near the warehouse they stopped. "I don't know how well it's protected but I need to get in. Stay here." Alchemy did again as he was told and waited until she came back. Time passed by and after half an hour or so, she came back with something big in her hand. "I know it's not the Philosophers Stone, but it will do well. It's a great weapon. You'll see." Another cold smile appeared shortly on her face, carefully she handed Alchemy the gun. Curiously he took a look at it, was surprised of the gun's weight. It was as light as a feather. The gun was in a good condition and looked very professional. Unlike usual guns it looked high-tech. Alchemy lay his index finger on the trigger, aimed at the nearest tree and shot. A frosty beam let everything near the gun cover with ice and the tree was covered with ice. It was a Cold gun. A shock hit Julian's consciousness, it was the Cold gun Cisco talked many times about. It was Leonard Snart's Cold gun and Julian didn't like what just happened. He needed to find out what Caitlin was up against and stop her before something bad would happen! Julian became more aware of the fact that he needed to fight against Alchemy, he wanted to get his body under his control again. But he still felt weak, to weak to do anything.
"It's time now." Killer Frost said. "You will enjoy it as much as I will. Let's give our old friends a visit." she laughed.
Another, stronger shock hit Julian. They were on their way to S.T.A.R. Labs. He needed to warn them, he couldn't let Killer Frost hurt them, Caitlin wouldn't want this nor did he. But he had no choice, he was just a slave of hers and his own body.
His body walked next to her, he could just see what Alchemy saw. Julian really wanted to look to the right and to left, so he could find out where they were. With all his strength he tried to force his body to do what he want, but nothing happened. Wondering, why he was imprisonment in his own body he asked himself what Savitar did to him, when he forced him the first time to work for him. He couldn't remember anything of what happened when he was Alchemy the last times and he wasn't sure, that if he was in control of his body again, he would remember. But it didn't matter at the moment because he couldn't find an answer to that question, he needed to find out by practice.
At the moment the only thing he could do was watching Alchemy walking in the dark next to Killer Frost, who was lighten the space between them because she was so icy. Another thing he tried not to bother about this very moment. It was more urgent to tell the team that they were in danger. But how could he manage it?
Again he tried to compel his body to do what he wanted. Suddenly his body stopped, looked around. Killer Frost stopped abruptly, looked confused at him. "What is it?" she snarled. "Never mind." said Julian with Alchemy's voice. He started to walk again, but slower. She would recognise soon but he needed to slow her down and find a way out of this dilemma. Fast he looked around to see if he knew the place. After they turned around the next corner, he realised the place. It was the park, he and Caitlin shared memories about. He remembered the night, after the gorilla fiasco, he met her there and asked her out, they were eating steak right afterwards. Quietly he sighed, hoped she didn't recognise. This place also meant it didn't take them too long to get to S.T.A.R. Labs, only one or two miles left. Fast he calculated how much time he had left. About thirty minutes he assumed. Thirty minutes to work out a plan and to get into full control of his body. He felt Alchemy fighting back, a hard shock flew through his mind and he lost control. 'Bloody hell.' he shouted and snarled. It took him a moment to find his thought again...What could he do? He also needed to find out what Savitar was after, maybe he could get information from Killer Frost. But because of the inference with Alchemy he was sure, he had just one other possibility to get control of himself again. Therefore he needed to figure a plan out first.
Twenty-five minutes left.
'Okay, think. We are on the way the S.T.A.R. Labs and she equipped me with the Cold gun, I presume is quite strong. What is she after? Taking Iris away from Barry?' Was his first thought, but he shortly refused that idea. 'No, it's not the time for that, she has still a few months left. Hurting everyone? Showing them that Alchemy is back? I don't know.' Julian was desperately.
Twenty minutes left.
'I just hope Cisco is watching the security cameras, so he will see when we're arriving. I have just one opportunity to abandon Alchemy, stop Killer Frost and find out what Savitar is after!' So he decided to let them intrude into S.T.A.R. Labs, hoped that Cisco would appear at first, Caitlin had always a strong bound to him, and take back control of himself, almost everything at once. He needed to focus, is fear had no place at the moment.
Eighteen minutes left.
Killer Frost and right behind her, Alchemy arrived where they wanted to arrive. The headquarters of Team Flash! Killer Frost smiled icily into the security camera above the entrance before they entered.
Fourteen minutes left.
The lift sprung open, a cold cloud rose high out of the open door. Slowly Killer Frost and Alchemy took a step forward and looked into the face of Cisco. "Hello Vibe." she said in her typical Killer Frost attitude, Cisco looked shocked at her and Alchemy, stopped at him and muttered something Julian couldn't understand. "How could you betray us too?" he shouted at Alchemy, Julian was sorry. "Don't be so rude." Killer Frost giggled next to him, Julian could see hatred in Cisco's face rising and spitefulness in hers. "We're not staying for long, Vibe." "Oh shut up Caitlin. I don't know what happened to you, but we'll get you back!" he screamed angrily."But you Julian! How could you. After everything! I trusted you. You ripped that necklace from her neck, it's all your fault. It's you fault, what she became. You ran to play with her, to find salvation? How dare you!" But Alchemy didn't said anything. He was only an empty puppet, a figure who did everything Killer Frost said. Julian felt sorry, he wanted to explain.
Ten minutes.
But wait! Cisco said something about Caitlin's necklace. He remembered himself wrapping it into his pocket. "I have nothing left to say." said Alchemy calmly and pointed the gun at Cisco. "Is that - ?" he asked shocked. "Oh yeah, it is. It's the best weapon to kill you, Vibe, isn't it? You made it." Loud laughter came out of her mouth, it was hard for Julian to control his hands, his index finger started to move. "What are you waiting for? KILL HIM." she shouted. "Wait." screamed Cisco. "Please! - " he put out his arm, Alchemy's finger slacked and he put his finger away from the trigger. "What do you want?" Killer Frost snapped.
"Before you're going to kill me.." it was hard for him to speak that words. "Tell me what is your plan?"
Seven minutes left.
Killer Frost crossed her arms in front of her breast. "Fine." she started angrily. "We want The Flash to suffer. Savitar wants us so kill his beloved friends. My dear Alchemy here is helping me. Julian was so weak, as weak as Caitlin was. But they're both gone. And now you will die!"
Five minutes left.
"But – But who is Savitar?" Cisco continued, looked at Killer Frost.
"You wouldn't believe." her cold smile was omnipresent. - "Try me."
"Someone very close. But I won't reveal much more. Now, KILL HIM."
Three minutes.
Alchemy's index finger moved again, slowly because Julian was fighting against it but he slowly put it onto the trigger of the Cold gun, which still pointed at Cisco.
Two minutes.
Julian tried as hard as he could to stop Alchemy. He focused on his finger, his hand began to tremble, his finger moved and didn't moved at the same time. Alchemy and Julian fought a battle of gaining the control. Alchemy screamed a painful scream, he breathed heavily through his mask. Now his whole arm was trembling until the gun fell towards the ground. Quietly Julian could hear Killer Frost scream a terribly "NO!" but his focus still lay on fighting Alchemy. Trembling and clenching his arm moved towards his coat pocket and he grabbed something familiar. He wasn't in full control, so he forced himself to collect all of his power and pull Alchemy away.
Alchemy's voice made a terrible noise and both, Cisco but also Killer Frost held their hands over their ears because it made them hurt. The next moment, Julian felt himself again, he ripped of the mask of the lunatic and hastily looked first at Cisco, then at Killer Frost. Both still had there hands over their ears.
Thirty seconds.
Julian worked as fast as he could. He run at Killer Frost, put out Caitlin's necklace and tied it around her neck. Before she could act, she could feel her power draw away from her. "What – What have you done?" she asked out of fear. "My powers, they're leaving me! You betrayed me!" Killer Frost screamed loudly. The moment after she lost her consciousness and fell, but before she hit the ground Julian caught her and lay her carefully down.
"Are you okay mate?" he asked Cisco. The man just nodded. "For a moment I really thought you were gone." He sounded relieved, fell into Julian's arms. It was the strongest hug he ever got. "You were really lucky, you told me about the voices before you left. I could prepare for anything." Cisco smiled tiredly. "We need to bring her into one of the cortex cells, just in case." Julian said. He was exhausted. It was a hard bit of work, to pull Alchemy out of his body and it seemed, he didn't lost his memories this time. Carefully Julian carried Caitlin, who's hair, eyes, skin and lips became normal looking again, and lay her down in one of the cells. Slowly he sat down next to her. "I'll stay with her." he said calmly at Cisco. "Just in case." The other one nodded, then he closed the cell.
Also exhausted, Cisco sat himself at the other end of the cell and sighed.
Silence fell over them.
"Thank you mate." Julian said after a while. "For what?" Julian chuckled. "You reminded me of the necklace. You saved us three." Again silence. Exhausted and tired both fell asleep.
