Author's Note: OKAY, so I know that TECHNICALLY Caitlin is all KF in this part of the series, BUT BUT BUT CAN WE JUST OVERLOOK THAT?! 'Cause this scene will be useless with KF instead of Cait!

Sorry, guest, if you had wanted it to be Killer Frost. I can do another one if that is the case, just let me know in the comments.

Using the Cerebral Inhibitor was one of the best/worst ideas Team Flash had ever had.

The machine would prevent Barry from retaining memories, which, in turn, would stop Savitar from remembering anything that happened to him in his past. There was one problem:

It had gone wrong. Barry had lost all of his memories. A bunch of crazy, kind of funny, awkward moments had followed, in which Caitlin tried to get Barry to remember her, then tried to get to know him, then just had fun with him in his undamaged, innocent state. It was a Barry she hadn't seen for a long time and she missed it so much it hurt.

Now, however, they needed the old Barry to come back. There was a fire at an apartment building, people were trapped, and Barry could barely even figure out his super speed long enough to get to the scene of the accident.

"I barely got here myself!" Barry yelled through the comms after Cisco told him that he needed to run all of the people out of the building. "How am I supposed to run with someone else?!"

"There's gotta be something we can do," Wally muttered from the desk.

Caitlin bit her lip. "There is something we can do," she murmured, exchanging worried glances with Cisco and nodding to the machine they and Julian had made. It should work to jumpstart Barry's brain and let him regain his memories.

Key word being "should".

"We haven't tested it!" Cisco protested.

"We don't have time to do a test run," Julian interrupted.

"What is that thing?" Joe asked nervously.

"This would send electrical charges through the transmitters in his suit," Caitlin explained. "Theoretically, it should jolt his memories."

"You want to electro-shock his brain?" Iris asked incredulously.

"Won't that fry it even more?" Wally agreed.

Caitlin resisted the urge to groan. "If we don't do it, people are going to die. Trust me- I like this even less than the rest of you, but we've got to do it."

Cisco nodded a few times, and rested his hand on the machine. "Okay, Barry. You're gonna feel something. It might hurt, might sting, might suck."

"What?!"

"Probably all three," Cisco continued, ignoring the desperation in his best friends voice. "Okay, here we go!"

He pressed the button and Barry let out a terrific scream. Caitlin bit down on her lip and clenched the back of her chair in a vice-grip, waiting. Would it work?

The screams stopped and Cisco, his face masked in a wince, asked, "Barry?"

"I- I..." Barry gasped. "I- yeah, I still don't remember anything."

"Why didn't that work? That was supposed to work?" Julian demanded desperately, spinning toward Cisco.

"We kickstarted his temporal lobe," Caitlin explained. "Now he just needs to access it."

"Gas is in the tank, we just need to turn on the ignition," Cisco breathed. "We need a visceral memory to spark his brain."

Everyone turned to Caitlin. "Oh," she squeaked. "Um, right, I suppose that's my job, isn't it?"

She hurried over to the desk and leaned towards the mic. "Hey, Barry."

"Um, hi, Caitlin?" Barry replied, a little confused.

"Do you remember when we first met?" Caitlin asked. Then she stopped. "No, of course you don't. But I do. After I had been taking care of you for nine months, when you were in a coma, you woke up. Cisco and I were in the room, and you sat up. You were... so confused, and terrified, and I- I asked you to pee in a cup. How romantic does that get? The first thing I say to you is about you peeing in a cup."

She laughed softly, her eyes welling up with tears. "Today... today I realized that you have gone through so much pain in your life. It builds up, after awhile, and without all of that you were so... free, and happy, and I wish I could see you like that all the time. But I also realized that if you forget everything, the bad and the good go away. You have had so many beautiful moments in your life, and I don't think that the Barry Allen I know and love would want to lose those moments just so that he could forget about the bad ones.

'Barry, I need you to remember. I know it's hard, and I know that you probably don't even want to remember. But what you need to know is that with every bad and painful memory you have had in your life, there's been a good one to match it. One that will get you through it."

And as glass shattered from the burning building in front of him, Barry remembered. He remembered his mother's death, his father's murder, Eobard Thawn, Zoom, Savitar... but he also remembered spending time with Iris and Joe as a kid, kissing Caitlin for the very first time, goofing off with Cisco in the Cortex and working with his favorite people in the world to save the city he loved.

"I remember."

Author's Note: I had so much trouble with that scene. Like. So much. I think I'm loosing my "motivational scenes" touch. Also I'm trying to type and my cat literally has her paw on top of my hand. Like no joke it's ridiculously difficult to type rn.

OKAY. Are there ANY OTHER SCENES YOU GUYS WANT ME TO DO?!

'Cause if not, we're all done with this story! I'll see you guys (unless there's another requested chapter) in Season 4! :D :D :D
