Chapter 25: Revenge of the Rogues

(S.T.A.R. Labs)

In the facility of S.T.A.R. Labs was Caitlin working rapidly on the computer, searching for any information that could help her with what Ronnie was going through. He said one word before he disappeared. "Firestorm." Even though the newly emerged metahuman demanded her to leave her alone, but that wasn't possible. Parts of her being still cared for him deeply, and she still blamed herself for his death.

She searched for the word "Firestorm" through various channels. But larger parts of her did to help Seth. To get an answer that actually makes sense instead of the one they got from the blazing metahuman. Cause even though he said, it didn't make sense at all. The two of them had never met each other before. And it pained her… that she might be the reason behind this attack.

Her focus was completely on the monitors and her eyes going over each and every search result. Until she heard, "Hey." Caitlin inhaled sharply in shock when she heard the voice suddenly call out to her. Snapping her head she saw Seth looking at her with his hands raised in mock defense. "Sorry, didn't mean to scare you there, Caitlin."

"No, it's okay." She assured him, "I was kind of focused." She pushed her hair bangs away from her eyes, letting the mutant take in her natural beauty without hindrance, getting him to smile as he saw her and the necklace around her neck. "How did it go at Detective West's?"

"Fine, just some packing here and there." He answered her before asking, "Are you okay? What are you doing?"

Caitlin was unsure of how to answer that. She didn't know how her boyfriend would take to the fact that she was trying find her former fiancée. Especially with how the former fiancée had attacked Seth repeatedly for some somewhat unclear reason.

Seth looked at the monitors and saw the search bar, "What's Firestorm?"

"You didn't hear it before?" Caitlin inquired, thinking that he might have heard it before he kicked Ronnie in the guts. He shook his head, and she continued, "It's one of the last things said to me before he… flew away." She held her head down, hoping that the mutant wouldn't think wrongly of her now.

Her head was then slowly pushed upwards by a finger applying pressure underneath her chin. Brown Eyes met blue eyes, and he said, "You don't have to be sorry Caitlin. It's all over your face right now." she blushed, when she felt his finger stroke her cheek. "You don't have to hide it from me." He could see that she was still conflicting inside, "Are you okay?"

"I don't know right now" She said after a few moments of silence, her cheek now cupped by his hand. "Right now, I don't know what I am going to do right now."

"You can search for him, Cait. I'm not stopping you. Some part of me wants to find the guy myself." Seth admitted to her.

His words caused confusion to rise in her eyes. "Why?" She asked almost worried.

"His reason for attacking me specifically." Seth started almost unsure, "I don't know. I think there's more to it than that, I guess. I want to know if there is more to it than what he said."

"You think there's more to it?" she asked.

The mutant nodded, "Yeah. I do. That's my theory at least." He saw her face, seeing what was really going on behind those beautiful amber eyes of hers. "You can't keep blaming yourself Caitlin." Her eyes turned confused. "I know what goes on inside of that head of yours, trust me. You can't fool me." He chuckled briefly. "Ronnie chose to be there that night, with you. And yes he somehow came back, with a burning attitude now. But it happened. And it wasn't your fault, nor will it ever be your fault. No matter what."

Caitlin melted at his comforting words. Before he comforted her just by the kindness of his heart, to make her feel better. But the way he said it now was different. Because she heard it from Seth, now as her boyfriend. And it made more special and more important than that… it made her feel more special than she had. And his other hand was now placed on her other cheek were now, letting both of his hands cup her entire face with his thumbs rubbing the area under her eyes sensually.

She melted in his hands right now. And the way he held her right now, sensually and caringly… made her feel loved and taken care of right now. The way he was looking into her eyes like she was the single most important woman in this entire world. He might be going through a lot right now, still dealing with the death of his fiancée and his sister's missing, but he was still there for her. And she loved it.

"I know. Thanks Seth." She got up from her chair and embraced Seth in a hug. "It really means a lot."

Seth pulled her closer to his body, and he said. "I'm not going anywhere you know. I'll always be here, right beside you and protect you."

"Hey guys." The couple separated from each other and turned around to the entrance to the Cortex. They saw Barry walking through the entrance with a displeased expression on his face. His expression didn't go unnoticed by the couple of doctors, making them worried for him.

However, one person was not worried for him. He thought that his appearance ruined their moment. "That speedster really knows how to ruin a moment, doesn't he?!"

Opening a drawer, he pulled out a chocolate bar and placed inside of his pocket, making sure that his partner was well-fed, and hopefully get him to stop shouting like a siren in his head. "There's not enough chocolate on this planet for that to happen." Venom chuckled darkly and evilly in his head. "Gonna take a nap now." Seth could hear his partner snoring loudly and annoyingly in his mind now.

"You doing okay?" Caitlin asked the speedster.

"You're looking a little pale? Feeling sick?" Seth said as he used a tendril to hold up a syringe with a large needle. "Need a little a shot? Trust me, you'll only feel a pinch." He smiled maliciously like a sick hyena preying on his next meal. Caitlin wondered why how he was able to find the syringe so quickly.

"Yeah, yeah." Barry said immediately while backing away in fear of the syringe. "And no shots, thank you. I would rather not have you stab with any needles again."

Using his tendril, he flipped the syringe around in the air, slowly installing more fear in Barry. "Dude, I'm still a certified doctor like Caitlin here." He gestured to his girlfriend beside him. "I'm just… less cute."

"That's up for debate." Caitlin thought to herself with blushed, before she directed at Barry. "So what's really on your mind right now?"

"I just…" Barry leaned on the table and continued with a heavy heart. "I told Iris how I felt about her."

Surprise came over both doctors and they shared a look before looking to the speedster again. "Bold choice." Caitlin commented on his decision.

"Yeah. But gotta respect you for that Barry. Nice job." Seth told him.

"I knew where we stood before. We were best friends. And…" he continued with a sigh. "I don't know. Now I just don't know what's normal for us anymore."

Caitlin could understand his point, and then told a part of her life. "Before I met Ronnie, I knew exactly what was going to happen every day of my life. It was predictable. I like predictable." Seth took note of that. "But when Ronnie and I started dating, everything started to change. He made me try Indian food and scuba diving. At first it was scary. But then it was better."

Looking at Seth, she continued. "And after meeting Seth, it was the kind of the same, actually. He gave a new kind of unpredictability, something that I had grown accustomed to. The kind that made it more exciting actually." The mutant smiled happily. "Letting me know the kind of life from this other universe where he came from and the kind of life he's led from that universe. Showing the new possibilities of powers that have he witnessed and treated back in there. And aliens and other universes too, apparently. He made it more exciting, my life now. More than before."

Barry smiled happily at them, seeing the affection and adore that they had for each other. They really cared about each other, and he was happy for them both. "My point:" Caitlin continued, "Things weren't really normal with you pining after Iris and her being totally unaware. Whatever happens next, it will be better."

Seth smiled as he heard her trying to encourage the speedster. He was glad that she was such a kind-hearted woman. Unlike more women she was genuinely happy and glad to help people even if it meant to open up about her life.

At that realization, Seth got a realization. He had to tell her more about Stef when the time comes. And that was going to be soon.

Barry nodded as he walked away. When he was gone, Seth looked to Caitlin again and give a smirk. She saw it and wondered, "What?"

"Nothing." He answered with a chuckle. "It's just… Kind of surprising about how… contrast we are with each other."

"What do you mean?" she asked with peaked interest.

Seth inhaled before he told a part of his life now, "Before I met Stef, I never did anything that was predictable. Every day was always going to be different than the last one, because of my life as both a SHIELD Agent and as Venom. And I grew to accept that and like it with time. But when Stef and I began dating, everything changed completely. Instead of readying myself for next mission, I had to ready myself for the next prank that she'd try to pull on me." A smile graced his face at the memories of him and her, and Bucky. "I grew up to love the predicable and the unpredictable together, you know. It made more special."

Caitlin looked down at how lovingly his expression looked right now. Almost jealous actually. But any of that were cut off when Seth directed her head upwards to him again with his hands. "Kind of like what I'm having with you. No actually it's different, better maybe. Cause I get to experience a new kind of life with another amazing woman, that words like "beautiful" and "kind" is not enough to describe her." Caitlin was a blushing mess right now, his words and the gap between them…

It made her forget all about Ronnie actually… and she felt nothing but Seth's care and warmth right now.

Seth then perked his head when a flash of realization came over him. He didn't want to do it nor say it, but she wanted closure right now. And she deserved it. "Caitlin, you said you went scuba diving, right?"

"Yeah, what about it?" asked Caitlin with a counter.

He leaned closer to her, "Unless I'm wrong and your universe's way different than my own, what if it's not a word but an acronym. Like Scuba? It's Self-Contained Underwater Breathing Apparatus."

She realized what he meant and stated her, "What if Firestorm isn't a word? You're a genius Seth!" She complimented her as deleted what was placed on the search bar, and typed "F.I.R.E.S.T.O.R.M." Looking to Seth, she hesitated. "Seth, before I read this-"

Before letting her finish, he placed a finger on her mouth and pressed search with a tendril. "We both have a reason for finding that guy. Let's find him, and make sure he doesn't go all Hellblazer on people." Caitlin nodded in agreement.

The search results came back and they both looked at the results, they saw the first search result. Caitlin opened "Fusion Ignition Research Experiment and Science of Transmutation Orginating RNA and Molecular Structures." Her face fell when she saw the number of pages. "It's 800 pages." She looked around, seeing if someone was there. "Barry's gone, isn't he?"

"Yeah, wh…." He stopped when he realized what she meant by that. "You want Barry to speedread the entire thing, right?" she nodded. Seth straightened his back before gently pushing Caitlin to the side, making way for to see the computer.

"What are you doing?" She asked when he leaned over and looked closer to the monitor.

Lightly turning his head to her, he winked with an eye before lightning began coursing through it and he turned back to the screen. He concentrated a certain amount of lightning in his hands before typing away on the keyboard. His eyes flaring from each and every side with incredible speed, and his finger pressing rapidly as well.

Caitlin had forgotten that he was able to enhance his muscles with lightning, an incredible application of his lightning element that he showcased when he fought Barry after his enraging encounter with Rainbow Raider.

When he finished, Seth had to blink his eyes repeatedly because of the stress and exhaustion using his lightning enhancement on his eyes. Also, he had to rub his fingers together. He exhaled before processing the new information, "Okay, I think I got the essentials. God, I'm glad I never went for Physics, this kind of shit is not my scene. Back on topic: there's a lot of stuff in there, but it focuses on transmutation. Which is the process of altering the structure of an element by unzipping the atoms-"

"And rebuilding it to create an entirely new element." Caitlin finished off, with the mutant nodding in agreement.

"Sounds like a cool thing, but I'm gonna stick with turning my patients into pincushions." Seth joked, "Oh yeah, the article was co-written by one Jason Rusch. A grad student here at Hudson University. So if anybody knows what happened to Ronnie-"

"Maybe he does." She said with a smile, one that Seth saw a one of happiness and bliss. And that brought him a pained expression.

"Maybe." He repeated sadly, it went unnoticed by her however.

She moved up from her chair and moved closer to him, giving him a kiss on the cheek. "Thank you, Seth. I know it can't be easy-"

"Don't worry about that, Caitlin. Just take care of it." he assured her, before she moved away and she walked out of the exit.

The mutant was left alone now. His eyes looked to the monitors again, looking at the front pages of F.I.R.E.S.T.O.R.M. again. Taking in the information that the pages again, he clenched his fists again.

He felt as though he was now paving the way for Caitlin, the path right back to Ronnie Raymond again, the path that was only for her and not for him and her together. And right now, he hated himself for that. For almost, letting her walk out of their life together.

He found it fitting that his nose began bleeding right now, from using his lightning to enhance his eyes and his mind to intercept the pages' information. A fitting punishment for what he had done, for letting Caitlin walk out of his life right now without stopping her.

At a private airfield on the outskirts of the city were a very rich couple walking out of their private jet plane. The Rathaways. Their chauffeur right beside the stairs down to the ground, his hand held out to the female part of the couple. "Pleasant flight, Mrs. Rathaway?"

Rachel Rathaway answered, "Yes, quite. Thank you."

A painting of the Fire and Ice that they millions are on, was handed out of the jet plane to the female staff member who accepted it. "Careful, please. It's worth a fortune." Came the unmistakable voice of Osgood Rathaway.

"Welcome home, Mr. Rathaway." The chauffeur told the man.

"Thank you, Ethan." Osgood thanked Ethan, before he walked over to his wife and walked along with their painting and Ethan right beside them.

The rich couple's chauffeur and bodyguard came up to their side and told the husband, "Sir, your son Hartley. He called again."

Osgood didn't hesitate to correct him harshly, "We don't have a son anymore." Not willing to talk about what happened to the disgrace that he and his wife called their child before.

As they walked, they didn't notice the form of Leonard Snart walking into the airport. His head equipped with the googles and his hoodie pulled over his head. And with quick pull of his trigger, he shot a blast of cryo energy into the air and got their attention. When he saw that everyone looked to him, he quipped sarcastically "Someone better call 911."

Even though it came out as a quip to all of them, someone on the Rathaways' security detail did act out on the warning and called 911 and told them of the dire situation right now. Once the call ended, the one who called them walked away and hid away in the back, making sure that the infamous thief never saw him.

But Snart had already seen him coming but he didn't act out on it. Instead he smirked, liking the way things were turning out right now. With the sirens blaring away in the distance behind him, he had a feeling that both The Flash and Venom would come soon enough and join the fray. And he couldn't wait to put them both on ice.

The blaring sirens became louder and louder by the second, until the first of four police cars came rounding the corner. And with how dangerous the situation had turned out right now, Captain David Singh came himself. Making eye contact with the security detail, Ethan directed the rich couple to the police cars. Joe and Eddie had come as well, and were equipped with the customized ballistic shield.

"Snart, freeze!" Joe said from behind his shield. Him and his fellow officers have now formed a line made up of them and their specialized ballistic shields. Snart smirked and took the detective's advice and shot off a blast of ice. Directing the blast of ice attack at each of the officers, he tried to freeze everyone.

But the aftermath of his attack was his ice being melted off the shields in an instant. And when stopped to check the damage of his attack, the officers used that to their advantage and stepped ever closer to Captain Cold. All of his rapidly fired ice attacks were met with the same result. So he used another strategy. He turned to the side, "Mick!"

"Gaaaaah!" a loud growl came behind and out came Mick with his arms lashed out to the sides.

"What the hell?" Joe remarked worried, he used his right elbow to press a button on his phone, sending out a signal.

"Why do they call you people the heat?!" Mick exclaimed at the line of gathered officers, his right hand grasped around a familiar weapon with a red canister. "I'm the heat!" he shouted as he pulled the trigger and fired of a line of vicious flames like that of a flamethrower.

The sudden flamethrower caught the officers off their guard, forcing some of them down to the ground. And right now, Mick enjoyed the blazing hell he left the officers in right now. Watching them squirm and fall to their backs was every form of pleasure in his eyes. He loves watching pigs burn.

Leonard saw that his partner was enjoying himself too much and reminded him. "Forget them, Mick. Get ready for them." His targets were not the police officers or any of the security here, his eyes were set on two heroes who could foil his plans in an instant.

"It's beautiful." Mick commented on the magnificent handiwork of his roaring flames.

"Mick." Snart tried to get his partner's attention. "Mick." His partner was too obsessed with the flames that mowing down the pigs in front of him so elegantly. "Mick!" Leonard shouted at his partner this time, but no response again.

GUNSHOT

A gunshot echoed throughout the entire private airport as the fired bullet came flying through the air and hit flamethrower-like gun in Mick's hand. Making him turn back to the collapsed line of cops, to see if he could find the shooter but no one was there. And all of their firearms have been pried away from their hands. This made him wonder who really shot his gun.

Joe saw the same and looked back behind the cars and made eye contact with a certain someone. Looking back ahead he and his fellow lawmen pushed ahead.

"We go, now!" Leonard ordered his partner, who was fixated on trying to get his gun to work again. But to no success he did as told and got the painting while Snart distracted the officers with his ice attacks. When the painting had been secured, he followed his partner and got out of there.

When the two elemental gun wielders had vanished, the officers one by one lowered their shields again. Eddie and Joe shared a look of disbelief at the blazing waste that they left behind. The senior detective walked over to the cars in the further back.

As he neared it, from behind it came Matt equipped in his in his black SHIELD tactical suit. Both of his hands are clutched tightly on the customized Winchester XPR rifle that he modified for better combat use and for distance attack. The nanite mutant was brought along by Joe without the knowledge of his fellow officers. However he was told to stay in the far back in case things got to messy, but also to keep his existence hidden from police's eyes.

"You okay, Joe?" Matt asked concerned.

"Yeah, more or less." Joe answered a bit out of breath right now, "Nice shot before, really saved our asses back there." He referred to the shot that put a stop to Mick's flamethrower-like gun before. "But that was new."

"You know who he is, don't you?" The nanite mutant asked the detective, who shook his head. "Who is he?"

(CCPD)

Both Seth and Barry had received a call from Joe and Matt telling them to come immediately. They both felt terrible about this, like this was their fault since they had to deal with their own personal drama instead of focusing on the real threats in their city right now.

"Stop blaming yourself, Seth. Neither you nor the speedster could have known about this." The symbiote assured the mutant host.

They heard the elevator alert them, they had reached the right floor right now. The doors opened up and the two heroes came out and they saw families of the officers consoling the hurt officers in the family. Other officers were carrying their fellow officers on their shoulders, because they were too hurt.

Right now, both heroes regretted staying away from the battlefield. They shouldn't have done it, even though they were each going through some very painful situations, both of which involved pain to their hearts. "This is..," Seth trailed off with his hands in his hair in despair.

With long strides, they walked over to Joe and Barry asked his adoptive father, "Hey. Hey, are you okay?"

"I'll call you back." He hung up on his call, "I'm fine, thanks to Matt." Gesturing behind them, they saw Matt helping some of the injured officers himself with some first-aid medical training that Seth thought him. He leaned closer to the two of them and informed them, "Snart's new partner, he's got this handheld flamethrower."

"Handheld flamethrower?" Seth wanted assurance, a nod came as his response. "Is it like the opposite of the cold gun? If so, then…did Cisco build this one too?" he wondered.

"Maybe. Almost everyone was treated on the scene, but we got two in the burn unit, though." Joe continued regrettably.

"I'm sorry. I should've listened to you." Barry said to his adoptive father.

"Same here." Seth apologized as well. "If we weren't too wrapped up in our own shit, then it would have been different instead. So many people wouldn't have been hurt then, and these bastards wouldn't have gotten away with the painting like that. And more than that, we could have gotten their guns finally."

"It's all good. But." The detective lowered his voice, "The next time Snart and his pyro pal show up, both you make them sorry they ever messed with either of you."

Barry nodded his head in determination. Seth however spoke his determination. "Trust me, I'll make them wish that they were never born, Joe. I'm gonna make sure that they don't mess with our city again." He cracked his knuckles for empathize, "No matter what."

Joe nodded his acceptance, "I got to call the hospital." He walked away from the two heroes; Barry shaking his head angrily at the scene before him and Seth gritting his teeth in anger.

Neither of them was going to take on the couple of lowlifes again with kid gloves again. This time they were gonna put them away or in the ground.

(CC Jitters)

Caitlin sat down in Jitters and waited Jason Rusch to come by and tell of the F.I.R.E.S.T.O.R.M. papers. And as she waited for him the co-author to come, thoughts of what was going to happen in the future once Ronnie came back rushed to her mind and thoughts of what would happen to Seth.

Ronnie was now back from the dead and now holding metahuman abilities over powerful flames that he could use freely. Even use them to fly.

And Seth was finally in a good place, especially since he told some parts of his life with Stefanie Panes before. It must mean that he was healing finally, and his heart was slowly being put back to pieces again.

Like he did for her when he dropped from the skies of his universe to this one.

She wondered if she could handle losing Seth if that came to be. But she didn't even want to think of that. Her heart began pulsing rapidly and felt as though every beat was causing it be close to enough to shatter into pieces again. She didn't want that.

"Caitlin?" The female doctor perked her head up when she heard a familiar voice call out her name. Turning her head to the right, she saw Frankie Kane on the side of her table with an iced chocolate mocha with cream and chocolate syrup on top of it. "What are you doing here? All alone?" The young girl asked, wanting to see Seth again maybe, if he was there.

"Oh hey, Frankie wasn't it?" Caitlin asked to be sure. The younger girl nodded with a smile. "Nice to see you again. What brings you by this late?"

Holding up her drink, she answered with an embarrassed smile. "Needed to get my daily fix." This got a chuckle out of the female doctor. She stepped closer to Caitlin and saw her troubled expression on her face, "What's wrong? You seem sad."

"Me and… Seth are just going through something right now." she said in disappointed tone, still feeling as though she was being rejected and kept at arm's length by the one person she thought would never do that.

"Something serious?" Frankie asked, worried for both of the doctors though something inside of her worried more for Seth right now.

"I don't know actually. Right now, it's like I'm slowly losing Seth." She placed a hand over her chest and continued, "And it hurts. A lot."

"Is he important to you, Seth, I mean?" The younger girl asked her.

Caitlin didn't speak for a few seconds, getting her mind to process the best possible answer for the young girl. "… he means a lot to him, yes. And I guess we're both very confused right now. We both lost people before, forcing us to change drastically. It made recent things harder to accept. Right now, we're both keeping each other at a distance, something I don't like actually."

"Have you tried talking to him?" Frankie wondered.

The female doctor then said, "Been trying, but something else's been on my mind for a while."

Frankie knew that the next question on her mind would be hard for Caitlin to answer but she chose to ask anyway, "Do you love him?"

The question made her mind go through all of the moments they have shared, each conversation they have had together, every hug they shared with one another, every kiss they gave each other… every single moment they spent together, where they made each feel special again. Like their hearts have never been broken and shattered into pieces by their losses.

But she couldn't form the words that she wanted to say, even to Frankie here. And with Ronnie being back again, it made the idea of admitting her true feelings seem all the more impossible to say. She didn't know how to say it.

"Well I-"

"You don't have to tell me." Frankie cut her off, surprising the bio-engineer. "I mean, Seth is the one you care about, after all." She said. Caitlin now realized the most obvious fact; Frankie was one very smart girl of her age. Being able to understand others feelings like this, was quite an achievement for someone of her age. "Well I gotta go now, say hi to Seth for me, would you?" She nodded to her request and walked out of the backdoor.

The moment Frankie disappeared through the backdoor, a young dark-skinned man walked in through the front door. Caitlin saw him and got up on her feet to meet the man, "Jason Rusch?"

The man smiled, "Yes, Dr. Snow?"

"Please, call me Caitlin." She introduced herself. "Thank you for meeting me."

"Oh, happy to." He gave another smile before stating, "Although, to be totally up front, if this is about the resume I mailed in to S.T.A.R. Labs, I've already accepted a position at Mercury Labs."

Caitlin shook her head, relieving his doubts. Also, as she never recognized the name of Jason Rusch being mention before. "No, actually, I wanted to talk to you about F.I.R.E.S.T.O.R.M."

The very second the name "F.I.R.E.S.T.O.R.M." registered in his mind, his smile faded from his face. Caitlin saw it too, she knew something happened now. "I'm sorry. This was a mistake. I have to go." He tried to leave.

But then Caitlin stepped in front of him and asked sensually and seriously, "No, look, someone I care about is in trouble, and you're the only clue I have to help him." She felt pain come over heart as she said she cared about Ronnie for some reason. "Please."

Jason looked into her eyes and saw that she wasn't going to give this up right now. And that meant he was fighting a losing battle. He bowed his head in defeat before they moved to a table to talk by themselves. "What's the line? I never got paranoid till they started plotting against me?"

This brought confusion over Caitlin, making her ask. "Why would they be plotting against you?"

"Because of our work, because of F.I.R.E.S.T.O.R.M." Jason answered immediately with a low voice.

Caitlin then recalled, "Transmutation, the ability to alter matter on a molecular level."

"Yeah." Jason leaned forward, "We had some rudimentary success with our stage one testing, working with sand grains. But Professor Stein said that we should-"

She then cut him off and wanted clarification, "Sorry, Professor Martin Stein? He was the co-author of the paper?"

"Yeah, he was our team leader. He didn't believe in baby steps, so we skipped to stage three."

"Which was?" Caitlin wondered.

"We melted a concrete wall." Jason said, surprising the bio-engineer from S.T.A.R. Labs who got wide eyes. "But the university threatened to shut us down. So Professor Stein published his paper without them giving permission, and they went nuts. So he went to talk to a friend of his to secure private backing."

"And who was that?" came the inquiry from Caitlin.

"He didn't say. He just said he'd call me later. And no one has seen or heard from Professor Stein since."

A difficult question had to come from Caitlin next, "What do you think happened to him?"

Jason's next answer brought even more surprise over the female scientist, "All I know is that the army showed up the next day and confiscated all of our research. So tell me, Dr. Snow, do you think I'm being too paranoid, or not paranoid enough?"

She had no idea on how to answer that. Whether to say yes or no to that, she didn't know. And she had hoped that this visit would have brought her closer to some answers at the very least, but no such thing came to. Just more confusing questions.

Jason Rusch excused himself and left. Caitlin saw no other reason to be here now, so she got up herself and left and went to the car.

As she walked over to her car, she knew one thing; that she was going to take Frankie's advice and talk to Seth. And finally confess everything about what was going through their heads, and their hearts as well.

But as she thought about what to say to Seth tonight, she looked at her phone seeing the same thing that Jason said, "Professor Martin Stein Missing." Apparently, an article about him was published, about his disappearance.

Caitlin looked around the empty parking lot suspiciously as though she wasn't the only one there. But her eyes didn't find anyone there. But just in case, she put her phone back in her handbag and made sure that her eyes weren't solely focused on the on the phone.

Seeing her car not far from, she pulled out her car keys. Her eyes briefly peering down in her handbag, before looking up again. When she did, a blast of ice shot out from behind her, and laced the car door with ice, freezing the door.

Recognizing the ice attack, she slowly turned around and saw a sight that she didn't want to see. Captain Cold with his cold gun held up, and his partner Mick beside him. "Car trouble?" Leonard asked sarcastically.

Caitlin gasped when Mick charged her, and tried to pry her frozen car door open but to no success. In that short time, she tried to do so, she screamed when she felt Mick's arms grab her right now. But even though she screamed at the top of her lungs, they fell on deaf ears.

(S.T.A.R. Labs)

Cisco and Matt had found a solution to how to stop the two elemental gun wielders. They brought Barry and Harrison Wells into the Cortex to tell them the news. Seth was out swinging again, and Caitlin hadn't come in yet.

Right now, the four of them were looking over the monitors showing the spinning 3D schematics of the heat gun. "When the heat gun was fired, it increased the surrounding temperature of the air dramatically, sort of like an extreme heat wave."

Matt perked his head up and asked, "Heat wave?" he tried out a name for the new gun wielder.

"Heat wave." Cisco repeated in agreement while his head nudged to the founder.

"Stop doing that." Harrison chastised both of them.

Matt chuckled before he added, "Okay, Cisco and I measured the temperature output of both the cold and heat guns, right?" they nodded, "And while the cold gun achieves absolute zero,"

"The heat gun successfully reaches absolute hot, or the hottest temperature an object can reach." Cisco continued.

"Planck temperature." Matt simplified.

"So potentially," The founder got their attention, "These two guns could cancel each other out."

"Theoretically, yeah." The nanite mutant said.

"But to do that, you'd have to make them cross streams." Cisco said,

Sparks of realization came over them all. Barry being the one to ask, "You guys mean like Ghostbusters?"

"Thank God, you guys have those here, otherwise it'd look very dark in here." Matt quipped.

Cisco then said, "That film is surprisingly scientifically accurate." Barry's phone went off.

"And really quite funny." Harrison added, with the powered beings and Cisco agreeing with nods.

Barry got his phone out of his pocket, and brought to his ear and pressed. "Hey, Joe. What's up?" he asked his adoptive father cheerfully… that vanished when he got the news. Looking to Matt with wide eyes of shock, he asked, "Where's Seth?"

"He is currently inside of his loft above his workplace, Mr. Allen."

"Why?" Matt asked alarmed after they go the reply from the AI.

WHOOSH

But Barry had already disappeared out of the door and out of the facility with lightning fast speed, his eyes on Seth's place and Jitters parking lot.

(CC Jitters, parking lot)

At the crime scene of CC Jitters' parking lot, was Detective Joe West inspecting the car of one Caitlin Snow and the frozen door on it. As he saw this and inspected it, he knew that the elemental mutant would go ballistics over this. But he decided to tell him anyway, knowing that his help is going to be needed.

"Joe, anything?" Barry asked as he came to the crime scene, he was worried. Running behind, was Seth who jumped over the crime scene yellow tape, and sprinted to the car.

Looking to his friend, he asked alarmed while his eyes were filled with white hot rage, Barry backed away from that. "Joe, tell me everything now!" Seth demanded from the detective who shook from the tone.

"There's no sign of Caitlin." He told the two heroes before they walked over to the car themselves. Seth cracked his knuckles, threatening to break off his hand right now because of the amount of pressure he was applying to it right now.

"I'm an idiot!" Seth berated himself in his head as he saw the car. "This bastard saw Caitlin and Cisco the day of the trainwreck. He knew who they were. I should have thought about that before. Because of me-"

"It is not you FAULT!" Venom roared in his mind, "You did nothing wrong. Only this Snart character and his hotheaded friend are responsible for this. And they made one grave mistake right now."

"Thinking that they could ever stop us." Seth thought back determinedly, determined to find Caitlin again.

"We're getting her back, Seth." Barry told the mutant was visibly bubbling with rage.

"We have to find Snart." Seth sneered out.

"Damn right we do." Joe told them both with determination in his voice.

Seth was however more determined to do more than just find Snart and his friend, he was going to make them beg for mercy and give them none.

(CCPD)

Joe, Barry and Seth went to back to the police department after visiting the crime scene at Jitters. Seth was feeling like he was going to lose it right now.

He couldn't lose Caitlin, not like he lost Stefanie. He couldn't lose the woman he cares about again. His son was dead, killed because of the monster that wanted to destroy Seth and prove himself to be superior than all other symbiotes. Stefanie was death because of that monster. She died along with watching her own child… slowly being tortured in front of her, while she was completely unable to move because of the deranged mutant's poisonous powers that he stroke her with before.

His little sister was still missing and somewhere in this world hopefully, and he was unable to find her anywhere. His baby sister was gone and alone in this world, in a city, where he had looked over each and every inch. But still not a single clue had revealed itself of her whereabouts and he feared that even with her powers, she was alone and scared by her lonesome. He couldn't take it.

And now Caitlin was kidnapped by two psychos who wanted both The Flash and Venom gone because of their continued interference and their would-be interference in their future criminal activities. Because of these two deranged bastards, because they were left breathing, they kidnapped Caitlin. The woman he loves.

"They are going to die. Not a single piece of them will be left off. They are going to beg for mercy and they will only get agony and nothing more than a death that'll bring them right down to hell!" The mutant's enraged thoughts echoed in his mind. "They are gonna wish they were never born!"

Venom felt his host's anger spike with each and every second, and he couldn't help but be affected by them those enraged emotions. Those dark urges to plunge the two thieves with nothing but flesh-searing and bone-crushing pain and terror. "They are going to rue the day that they took Caitlin from us! If even a hair on her head is hurt, then they will witness a hell that makes all of their nightmares pale in comparison. She's innocent and they think they can use her as a pawn to draw us out! They'll regret that!"

"Yeah." Seth muttered to himself in raged, his eyes turning from compassionate azure-blue to lifeless blue. "They're gonna die."

"Joe, Joe." The three men heard Eddie Thawne call out to his partner as he dashed down from the staircase, behind them came Matt out of the elevator. When Eddie reached them he said, "We got a hit, a second pair of prints. They belong to a Mick Rory." He showed the file to Joe and Barry. They handed it over to Seth and his best friend beside him.

"Who is he?" Seth said demanded to know with an angry voice.

Eddie then remembered that Seth and Caitlin are in a relationship, so he shouldn't be so surprised when he heard his angry tone right now. "Big-time arsonist. He and Snart worked a job last year that went bad. Half of Rory's body was burned in a fire that got out of control."

"Says here he escaped from an ambulance on the way to the hospital, and he hasn't been seen since." Matt noted, while his eyes drifted to his friend who was oozing with rage. He probably, no, most likely, he was thinking that Catlin was going to be taken from him like with Stef and Bucky.

"Yeah." Eddie agreed with him. "Why would they kidnap someone like Caitlin?" His question caused the powered beings to share a meaningful look. While Barry and Matt's eyes drifted back to Seth who grit his teeth angrily.

"Joe, Thawne." The four men looked to the Captain's office and saw Captain Singh stepping out of the office, his hand holding a remote and pointed to the televisions attached to the ceiling, "It's on every station."

Seth then heard familiar gasps of pain. He could recognize her ethereal voice anywhere… but the obvious amount of fear laced in her voice was unbearable to hear. It caused his heart to crack slowly from both pain and guilt. But then rage took over and he looked up to the screens with lifeless eyes, and behind them an inferno blazed.

"Greetings, citizens of Central City." They heard Leonard Snart say into the camera with Mick Rory holding someone behind him. And if the female gasps were any indication, then it was obvious who it was. "I am Leonard Snart. But you can call me Cold."

"He's gonna be dead." the symbiote growled angrily.

"Maybe." Seth thought back to the confusion of his partner.

"I'm gonna make this very simple for everyone." Snart continued, "That red streak you've been hearing whispers about. The one mysteriously saving people saving people these past few months? Well, surprise; he's real. And we've all witnessed the giant pitch-black demon who been helping him right? Well, we all knew he was real to begin with. The two of them, they call themselves The Flash and Venom. Porter and Main, tonight, sundown."

Seth subconsciously let out smoke from his mouth, thankfully no one saw it aside from his friends. "Come out, come out, where you are, Flash and Venom. Show the whole world you're real and which of you is the sidekick." Snart's eyes peered to the struggling Caitlin in Mick's grasp, "Or this woman dies."

"No, don't come for me. Stay away!" Caitlin shouted struggling in desperation, but before she could say more Snart cut off the feed to the video.

Clenching his fists violently, the elemental made a beeline for the elevator. However, before he could Matt stopped him with Barry and Joe beside. "Cool down, Seth."

"I will not! Cool…down." He sneered. "These bastards have Caitlin, Matt. I already Stef because of me. And I'm not going to lose Caitlin, too! She's the one good thing that happened to me since I got here, Matt. I am not going to lose Caitlin! No matter what!" Neither Joe or Barry understood what he meant by his fault.

"Seth, calm down." Joe tried to calm down his friend, but it obviously wasn't working.

"No!" Seth shouted in his face. "Joe, you're my friend. So as my friend, I am telling you, do not try to stop me from going out there and find her, find Caitlin. She's the most important thing to right now, not the city."

"Wait." Barry stepped closer, "What do you mean? You're not going to help me against Snart and Rory? Seth, I need you out there. You stopped Snart before, I couldn't do that alone last time."

The elemental then countered, "Which is why you're not going out against them alone." His lifeless eyes turned to Matt, "You're going with him."

"You want me to go with Barry?" The elemental nodded to the nanite mutant's inquiry, "So while you go bring hell to where they're holding Caitlin hostage, you want me and Barry to go up against Butch and Sundance, right?"

"Doubt they'd go out like that, but yeah." Seth spoke as he nodded, "Like I said before, with the Iron Knight out there, you guys are going to have the element of surprise on your side. They are expecting me and Barry, not Barry and the protégé of one our universe's greatest heroes instead."

Matt were surprised to see and hear his best friend ask him of that. But parts of him told him not to be surprised. Seth had lost his son, his nephew, and his fiancée because of one deranged murderer that may have slithered his way into this city as well. Even though he has pieces gravel traveling through his veins, giving him ability to manipulate earth, and able turn into adamantium doesn't it mean that he doesn't have a breaking point.

And right now, Matt feared that he was slowly nearing his breaking point again. Like he did before, and singlehandedly decimated an entire forest area because of what Carnage did to his family. Because of the pain that this monster brought upon his family, his best friend was forced over the edge and became a true demon. He was wrong, Seth was already nearing the edge right now of his breaking point. And about to go over it, just like before.

And no matter what he tried to say or do, nothing would stop him.

After few suspenseful moments, Matt finally sighed and looked deadly serious into his friend's eyes. "Looks like it's time for Central City to meet the Warrior of Iron Sky, huh?" he said with a smirk on his face, as he referred to his old new nickname from their home universe.

"Yeah it is." Seth looked to Barry. "And he's going to work alongside the Scarlet Speedster this time."

"Then we each have our assignments, Agent Fury." Matt stated like an agent would do. "I'll take care of Rory and Snart, you find Caitlin. And save her no matter what." Seth nodded before walking out with long strides, each on with determination that was akin to that of a blazing inferno.

Much like the one he was going to bring upon them.

X

As that was going on, Caitlin was going through quite a problematic situation. She was brought into a warehouse and Mick Rory was in process of binding her to a chair right now.

She hated this, she couldn't possibly hope to overpower Mick Rory, a guy who was a well-known arsonist who was able to carry her alone. He was also very ruthless and didn't mind hurting anyone, making him all the more dangerous of an adversary to deal with. At least for her.

When Rory had placed his hostage in the chair, he asked "You're a friend of his, huh? That Venom guy. He's strong." Pulling up a zippo lighter and lighting it up, to show it to her. "Like fire. He uses fire too, doesn't he. Fire, it's undefinable. Heat light, energy." He placed his hand over the fire, allowing the flame touching the surface of his palm. Caitlin didn't look the least bit unnerved by it. She was remaining steadfast. "It's an evolution when things burn."

"You're sick." Caitlin let out disgusted by the man's words and himself.

Closing his lighter, the arsonist countered, "Maybe, you're the sick ones. You ever think about that?"

"Not really." The countering reply came from her mouth.

"Mm." Mick hummed with a dirty grin on his face.

Caitlin let her eyes wander over his arm and commented, "You've got third-degree burns." Rory looked to them himself, almost as if he was admiring their beauty. "Why didn't you get skin grafts?"

He snapped his head back to her, and answered, "The fire revealed my true self, showed me who I really am. I wonder what your Flash and Venom will reveal when I burn their suits and skins off."

His statement caused anger to raise in her core. She didn't like the possibility that this bastard going to hurt the two heroes that have done nothing but good for this city. She couldn't deal with that, and she wouldn't let that happen.

"Do whatever you want to me, but leave them alone." She sneered herself, before stating confidently. "And good luck trying to stop Venom. You're never going to beat him."

His dirty grin widened "Oh, okay. You and this Flash must be really close if you're really to die for him, hmm?" Caitlin didn't respond with words, but only with a glare. Rory snickered as he realized something, "Oh I see now. It's Venom right? You and him, huh?"

Caitlin leaned closer to him, with an even more determined pair of eyes glaring at him. "You can't stop Venom. He's stronger than you will ever be."

He smiled widely at her threat, finding her provoking words amusing. His hand took hold of his heat gun and pointed at her. "You want me to show you who you really are?" He turned on his gun, "That'd be fun." He ran his gun along her body, slowly installing fear in her. "Show you who you… really are." She flinched when the barrel came near her neck.

"Mick." He turned his head around and saw Leonard Snart standing behind him. "Time to go."

Mick lowered his gun and he flipped the switch on a device underneath her chair, "You better pray the next people that come through this door Is us."

Leonard heard the sound of multiple car engines rev outside of their warehouse. A smirk formed on his face, as he looked to Caitlin, who was a struggling with a rope in her mouth, preventing her from speaking. "But don't worry, we brought you some company."

Her eyes and mind grew with confusion by the remark. She then got her answer to her confusion when she heard the front door to the warehouse open. Looking in the direction of the door, she got the surprise of her life.

"Ah!" Mick let out with his arms thrown to the sides, "Our friends!" he remarked with a dirty grin.

Coming through the door were a bunch of very tall and muscular men, all of them wearing black leather jackets. And they all possessed different weapons. Ranging from chains, machete, guns and brass knuckles with spikes.

Caitlin worried that they have come for her, but Snart saw her worry and relieved her worries. "Don't worry. They're not here for you. But they would love to have a talk with your boyfriend." She became confused, "You see, these guys are some very close friends to the East Street Skulls, the same one your boyfriend slaughtered."

"And they are looking for some payback. But don't worry. They don't want you, just Venom." Mick let out with a sneer, with the bulky men agreed with dirty smiles and howls of agreement. "You see, when we have peeled off Venom's suit from his body, they get whoever is underneath the ugly suit."

With that said, the muscular men took a seat on the floor, awaiting the results of the deathmatch between Venom and Flash against Mick and Leonard. Caitlin however feared what was going to happen now, without Seth right now. Her heart was smashing widely.

(Porter and Main, Sundown)

On one end of the street of Porter and Main, the street where the showdown between the two heroes of Central City and the infamous pair of the same city, were the police making a barricade to ensure that the damage wouldn't spread to the rest of the city.

Now was the time for the battle, on the other end of the street Porter and Main, where a car was packed right in the middle of the street. The car doors opened up, coming out of the right side was Captain Cold with his cold gun ready in his hands and out of the left side was Heat Wave with his heat gun ready in his hands. Both of them ready to destroy the two heroes.

The police were companied by Captain David Singh and other officers who were equipped with the customized ballistic shields.

And as both police and criminals waited for their arrivals, the sound of running thunder echoed throughout the streets… along with the sound of thrusters blasting through the air

WHOOSH

A streak of yellow lightning passed between Eddie and Captain Singh. Through the yellow tape, cutting it off in the middle, and surprising both of the lawmen who twirled around. A officer nearby them commented stutteringly, "Did…did you see that? That was him. That was The Flash."

Captain Singh with a surprise remarked, "I don't believe it."

Barry then came to a stop and looked around, his appearance, his existence becoming known to everyone. The police took in his appearance and Eddie then told his captain, "Believe it."

"The Scarlet Speedster." The speedster turned around and saw the two criminals who looked around Barry with narrowed eyes behind their goggles. "Where's the Demonic Warrior?" Snart demanded to know.

A chuckle escaped from his mouth, "He's not coming. You're not worth his time, apparently." He taunted the two criminals who grit their teeth, "But don't worry, I'm not alone." Barry pointed a finger into the air, everyone around them wondered why he did so.

They then got their answer when they heard the echoing sound of multiple thrusters echo through the street. Everyone turned their heads to the other end of the street, from behind the police barricade. Eyes widening widely when they saw him.

Flying through the air is a man with in a suit. Light from the street lamps reflecting on his white plating that he wore. His helmet is that of a knight's helmet, but with golden and red plating around it. Wing-shaped thrusters on his back blazed as he flew through the skies. His gauntlets lashed forward, the repulsors firing off energy blasts to halt his flying progress while in air. The figure remained in the air for a few seconds, before shutting off his thrusters. When he landed on the ground, smoke piled up around him. Hiding his form, before his back thrusters fired off again, blowing the smoke away. His shield-emblem arc reactor shone brightly as did the visor in his helmet.

Everyone was surprised to see a man in what looked like armor from the future, unlike anything anyone have seen before. The officers on their end held gaped mouths and so did the criminals on the other end. Barry smirked from their expressions.

"Who's Robocop?" Leonard asked, with his gun pointing at the armored mutant.

"He's not the one we want!" Mick exclaimed, his own gun pointing at the same mutant.

Matt stepped forward, getting their attention, "The name's Iron Knight. And I come here in Venom's place, because he does not see you as worthy foes. Neither do I actually."

His taunt caused the two criminals to charge up their elemental weapons in anger. Anger that the large anti-hero they demanded didn't find them worthy of fighting against. Even though they went to extreme measures, to finally get his attention. "Any preference on how you two would like to die? The flame or the frost?"

Neither of the two heroes spoke, the wielder of the cold gun noticed it too and commented. "Not in the mood for chitchat. Gotcha. Ready when you two are." Both of the criminals pointed their weapons at them, both of their weapons lighting up with energy. Barry's eyes lit up with electricity running through them with determination. Matt's visor and his arc reactor lit up with energy, while his thrusters let out energy and his arms were swarmed with his nanites, before forming large energy blades.

Both of the criminals didn't want to waste any more time and both of them fired off each other weapons. Iron Knight jumped in front of Barry and deformed his blades into a considerably large shield, taking on the two blasts of fire and ice. Matt turned his head to the speedster, "Go!"

Barry sped out from behind the armored mutant and sped between the two criminals. Snart let out his attack on Iron Knight and fired off his attack on the speedster. His attacks went from one side to the other, trying to hit the persistent hero, while his partner continued his attack on the mutant.

The speedster dashed between the criminals again, he attacked both of them at same time. When Heat Wave let out his attack on him, Matt latched out his left hand and opened up a compartment, firing off a missile. The missile wasn't strong enough to kill them, but strong enough to blow them away and to the sides, to their back.

They rolled around in the ground before they got up again on their feet. When he got up to his feet, Snart's back hit the side of a car, and he shouted to his partner, "Cover me!"

With both of the heroes in the same direction, Rory turned his weapon to their direction and blasted out his flames. Barry was about to run into it, but blast of blue energy cancelled out the flames before connecting with the speedster. Matt launched himself into the air and cancelled out the flames again with his repulsor blasts.

Meanwhile the mutant and his partner were facing against one another, Snart fired his weapon after the speedster's path with a line of ice. "Run on this." He blasted an attack of ice a water and the water sprout up, but froze due to the ice attack, forming a large deformed pillar-like block.

Barry was unable to stop himself from running because of the iced path, so he ends up slamming into the ice block. Both criminals laughed at the sight. Iron Knight flew down in front of the metahuman and stopped him with a single hand.

"Are you okay, Barry?" Asked Matt, with the speedster nodding his head sheepishly because of the pain. "You know what we have to do."

"Yeah, get them to cross their beams and cancel their guns out. I know." Barry stated their plans.

"Mick!" Leonard shouted to his partner, who fired off a blast of fire from his gun. Matt's HUD screen got the sight of the flames, and his feet flared up and into the air, allowing the mutant to perform a spin before connecting with the ground. The arc reactor in the center of his chest glowed brightly before he thrusted his chest out and a massive blast of energy shot forth, colliding with the flames from Rory's gun.

Barry ran out and Matt flew out from behind the collision of blasts over to a space where they could rendezvous. "Yeah, not as easy as it sounds."

"Gotta admit, Cisco really knows how to make amazing weapons." Matt said, the speedster giving him a dry look. "Not the time, sorry." Both of them separated themselves and went into different direction to dodge more blasts.

Back at the police line, Iris came running to it with a umbrella in her hand, keeping her dry from rain. When she saw her boyfriend, she called out. "Eddie, Eddie!"

The detective looked around to the barricade and saw Iris there. "Iris what are you doing here?"

"They evacuated Jitters." She said with her eyes looking ahead, "I saw your car."

"No, you can't be here. It's not safe." Eddie told her, though neither of them were able to keep their eyes each other because of the sight that was happening in front of them. Blasts of energy colliding with either blasts of ice and fire, while lightning dodged each of the elemental attacks, knowing full well that the Demonic Warrior of Central City was stronger them.

X

Outside of the warehouse, where a dozen of large Skull loyalists with a thirst for vengeance and one scared Caitlin Snow was, was Seth standing outside of the warehouse.

After he walked out of the police department, he used Jarvis hacking capabilities to find any and all known associates who knew the whereabouts of Snart and Rory's hostage. It panned out as apparently one of their old associates is East Street Skull members. And it would be very obvious even to the blind eye that any of associates of Skulls would go after the one who slaughtered them.

"It appears that there eleven heat signatures inside of the warehouse, Dr. Rogers." Jarvis told him via comms device in his ear and his navi-lens upgraded to act like a small HUD screen. "Including that of Dr. Snow as well. And it appears the ten other heat signatures are armed with weapons"

Seth clenched his fists angrily, unaware that lightning sparked up around his body. The ground shook around him violently, but only around him. Smoke emitted from his hands as did cold white smoke. Wind gathered around him and with the lightning cracked the ground beneath him and around him. Puddles of water began wavering before latching onto the mutant's body, slithering under his clothes.

His anger caused all of his elements to go haywire, upsetting them. Letting them fire angrily because of the pain and guilt he felt right now. If he hadn't left Caitlin to search for Ronnie alone, then she wouldn't have been kidnapped and used as bargaining chip like this. If he hadn't left her because of his insecurity about her former fiancée. This was his fault.

The AI system felt himself fritzing out because of the lightning that sparked around the mutant's body. "…M-Ro-rs…I…dvic…th…ourse…action-" The comms device in his ear shut down because of the violent lightning shorted it out, the navi-lens following shortly after.

"Action is definitely what they will see right now!" Venom roared in his head.

"No… They're gonna see hell." Seth said his mind going over images of Stef's and Bucky's deaths again repeatedly, this time with Caitlin's torn dead body in the midst, before his body became enveloped by the symbiote and lightning-coated flames burst from his body.

The Skull loyalists had no idea what was going to happen to them.

X

Caitlin was struggling to fight off her bounds right now. But she couldn't they were too tight, and nothing on her was sharp enough to actually cut the ties, nor did she have anything long enough to actually reach the ties.

And if that wasn't worse enough, she was guarded by ten bulky men, all of them armed to the teeth with guns and blades, all of them was looking for vengeance against her boyfriend.

Seth was probably anywhere but here right now.

After all, he's not going to want her after she tried to find her former dead fiancée.

"How long are we going to wait?!" her attention was drawn to a large bulky man who shot up on his feet and shouted. "Are we just supposed to wait for Snart and Rory to give us the leftovers of that motherfucker!"

"That was the deal we made with Snart and Rory." A calmer Skull loyalist said back. "We make sure that bastard's girlfriend is still here, and we get to carve out his heart."

"So we play babysitters right now, is our main gig!" Another skull loyalist said back with an exclaim. The other loyalists were about to comment, but the sound of muffled whimpers got their attention. The dozens of them looked to the platform where Caitlin was bound to her chair.

… none of them noticed the small part of the warehouse door slowly turning red… from the added heat behind it.

A dirty sneer appeared in their faces at the struggling Caitlin, who immediately halted her struggle at the sight of horrifying grins directed at her. "Well we do have his girlfriend right here."

One of the loyalists smelled smoke in the air, and looked around. His eyes stopped when he saw the continuingly reddening area of warehouse door. He tapped the shoulder of one of his fellow loyalists but it was shrugged off.

"Ah guys?" he tried to get their attention.

"Not now."

The reply didn't stop him from continuing to tap on his shoulder, till the point got to annoyance. "Dude, seriously stop it!" he shouted with his head turned to him. Seeing that his younger fellow loyalist was somewhere else he followed the same direction.

Giving an order to the other loyalists to look at the direction as well. They all saw the warehouse door heat up, the reddening area expanding slowly to the entire area of the door.

PIERCE

They all backed away when they saw five large metal claws pierce through the large door like it was tinfoil. The next second, the sound of the door ripping out off its hinges like it was nothing echoed throughout the entire place.

The next sound was the sound of multiple clatters of weapons falling down to the ground as they took in the sight before them. Even Caitlin, who was only able to slightly turn her head around… and her eyes had never witnessed such a terror before.

Walking through the now door-less warehouse was… Venom? They didn't know because of his form.

He was even more enormous than he usually was. Muscles of adamantium vibrating like an earthquake was running through his entire body and lightning booming through them. Black claws, long and laced with cold white ice. A maw filled with blazing fangs because of the flames coating them. Water shooting out of his body and forming small of rings around his body. Tendrils flailing around with adamantium sharp tips. Wind gathered around him, concentrating the water rings, making them accelerate more and more. The ground cracked with each quaking footstep he took. Venom opened his mouth, showing them all.. the searing image of a mouth of a hell-demon to them.

"You wanted…us!" The roar that came from deep within the elemental mutant caused the loyalists to grab their heads in pain. "You take someone we care for! We take action! You want revenge! Let's see who gets their revenge now!" The anger-filled mutant shot forward with lightning-enhanced reflexes.

(Note: Play "Vengeance" by Zack Hemsay)

One of the loyalists shot forward with his gun in his hand ready to fire off his bullets. But not before anti-hero was in front of him, the ice claws on his fingers quickly spread around his entire clenched fist, forming a large ice mace with large spikes. That same mace slammed into the head of the loyalist, sending him into the ground, cracking the ground upon contact because of the strength put into the attack.

His gun clattered on the ground before the loyalist tried to get back to his feet, even with his head bleeding like a waterfall. But it never happened when a large lightning-coated foot slammed into his stomach, the impact sending him flying into the ceiling of the warehouse. His lifeless and bleeding corpse fell down landed back on ground, his blood seeping out of his body, now that it didn't serve a purpose now.

The nine remaining loyalists were struck with fear when they saw their comrade being slaughtered like he was nothing, right before their eyes. But that quickly paled in comparison to the terror and horror that filled them when they felt the… heated breath from Venom who exhaled his breath into the back of their necks right now. The very air that he exhaled burned off the hair on the back of their necks.

A loyalist made the mistake of turning around to face the large anti-hero, but he regretted it the moment his body was instantly punctuated with sharp adamantium tendrils. It was like he was turned into a pin cushion made out of tendrils. His body was thrown away like trash now that his lifeless body was useless now.

The loyalists now raised their guns and fired off a hailstorm of bullets at the mutant's face. Hoping that they wouldn't face the same fate as their formerly living comrades.

But none of their bullets touched the surface of his body because of the wind around his body intensified and spread over his entire body, blowing the bullets away to all directions. And those that managed to penetrate the barrier of wind, bounced off his skin because of the water rings that moved to the targeted places.

The water rings moved to both of his hands, letting both of his hands be enveloped in spheres of boiling water. Before them could move, two loyalists found themselves lost for words that drowned in their throats, when the feeling of scalding hot water slithered into their mouths. Venom grabbed a head with each of his hands, both of which are slowly enclosing around the loyalists' heads. When the applied pressure was just righ-

CRUSH

The pure and transparent spheres of water, were instantly turned red from the blood that flushed out of the loyalists' crushed head. The now red water flowed back to their previous places and returned back to the previous states as water rings. Headless bodies dropped down from his hands. Seth turned his sights to the remaining six members who had grabbed their weapons again.

Two of them took their chances with machetes and charged at the mutant. One of them tried to go after his legs, but his hopes and chances were squashed when his head was blasted with flames from the anti-hero's maw. The flames were strong enough to push him down to the ground, the aftermath left his head in a smoldering mess.

The other one thought Venom was too distracted so he went to slash his back. But it was a mistake when large claws coated with lightning stroke back… and cleaved his head clean off of his body.

Two of the last four remaining members ran away from the mutant, not wanted to be next target of his massacre right now. However, fate was not on their side right now. Tendrils wrapped around their ankles and pulled them, forcing them to fall down and land on their faces, breaking their noses from the impact. But a broken nose was not the only thing that was going to happen to them.

Venom jumped into the air and twirled around the air, the two members with their broken noses followed him. When he was ready, he slammed both of the two members into the ground, before they impacted the ground they screamed but they were drowned out from the momentum.

When he landed back on the ground, a fist with brass knuckles connected with his jaw. But no reaction came as Venom turned to see the bulky man, his fist engulfed from his symbiote spreading around the fist. "Let go!" he shouted as tried to pull it out of the mutant's face.

"Fine." More tendrils shot out and wrapped around the member's body. When the member felt the tendrils wrap around him, he tried to struggle and pry himself out of them. But to no success. And while he tried to grapple his way out of them, lightning sparked more than before around Venom's body before he directed them through the tendrils and muffled screams echoed from the member. His skin searing and sizzling from the crackling lighting that connected on his body. When Seth felt him lose all life inside of him, he unwrapped the tendrils around the loyalist.

The last loyalist tried to silently walk away from there, using all of his willpower to overpower each and every muscle in his body, trying to keep himself from making any sound. However, like his formerly alive loyalists, he couldn't find any salvation as the enormous anti-hero wrapped his hand around his throat.

"S-top! Pl-please!" he croaked out with his throat slowly being enclosed by the adamantium with ice cooling his throat.

"You take someone we care about from US!" Venom roared at the loyalist, whose hand gripped the large fist, and unsuccessfully tried to pry it off. "That will never happen again! Never again!" His maw enlarged itself beyond the normal measures and ripped off the loyalist's head in a moment. Throwing the body to the side, he looked around the blood-stained and corpse-filled warehouse… before looking to tied Caitlin who was looking wide eyes of both shock and happiness, and more than that relief.

Shock of the display of massacre that she just witnessed right now, happiness to see that mutant who not given up on her, thankfully, and relief that she was no longer going to be in this hellish situation more, thanks to the mutant, she cares about. Upon seeing those eyes on him, his anger started to drain and his senses came back, slowly. His form shrunk down to this normal size, but that only lasted for a few seconds before Seth slithered out of his suit.

Making his way over to the small staircase that connected to the platform, he walked up the stairs. And while he did so, Caitlin's muffled screams came more and more as the mutant neared her. Finding her screams curious and worrying, he looked around. Seth raised his eyebrow when he saw the tripwire in front of him. Bending down to it, he blew at it with a cold white breathe, freezing it immediately with growing ice.

Relief came over her when she saw Seth do that and he stepped over the frozen wire. When he got to her, he grabbed the bomb underneath her chair and sent a wave of ice into it, freezing the water within it. He had to be sure that the bomb does not go off because of a dead man switch or something like that.

When he was sure that the bomb wouldn't go off now, he untied Caitlin from her bounds. Now that her hands were freed and her mouth lost because of the gag, she lunged herself into Seth's arms and hugged him. Seth hugged her back.

"I thought I'd lost you." Caitlin said from in between tears. "I thought I was gonna die."

"I thought I'd lost you." Seth recited her words with tears going off in his eyes. "I couldn't lose you too, Cait. And you're not going to die, not while I'm around." His lips pressed against her trembling lips in a brief kiss. "I'm not going anywhere. You're never going to be alone again. I promise you that."

When those words registered in her mind, she hugged her arms tighter around the mutant's body for dear life, as though she wasn't going to release him from her grasp.

(Porter and Main)

Back at their showdown, Leonard Snart and Mick Rory were having their trouble trying take down Barry Allen and Matt Almond, both of the two heroes were up and flying in the air or running up the sides of buildings around them, dodging blasts of fire and ice. The two heroes were able to dodge the attacks thankfully, not enough to block the attacks from growing.

And it didn't go unnoticed by the police barricade, who were still enthralled by the powered beings. "The fight is spreading beyond the evac area. We need to expand the perimeter." Captain Singh ordered his men.

Eddie took notice of the fight and his captain's order, "We can't. We can't let this spread." He said after moving closer to him.

Snart and Rory both had trouble shooting the mutant, so they focused their firing on the speedster. Seeing that Matt fired off multiple shots of energy that canceled out the majority of the elemental attacks. Barry jumped down from the side of the building and landed back on the ground, a second later an ice blast fired into his torso and sent him flying.

Having seen that, Eddie said, "Oh, my God!" He grabbed a customized ballistic shield and out from behind the police line. Both the captain and Iris shouted for him to return and get back.

Leonard and Mick walked closer to the downed speedster and both raised their weapons at him, both of them wearing smiles because they were going to finish off the metahuman hero who was going to stop their criminal activities.

Matt shot forward, not going to give them the chance to off the speedster. "No chance, you bastards!" His thrusters blazed again and shot forth with incredible speed. But both criminals heard his thrusters blaze, they snapped around and both blasted him fire and ice attacks, hitting him in the chest and sent him into the ground again. "Shit!"

With a couple of smirks, they walked back over to the speedster who was still groaning and grunting in pain. Barry's head perked and saw the two criminals give each other meaningful looks before they pulled the triggers on their individual guns, both of them firing fire and ice at him.

All of a sudden, Barry's vision was being blocked off when Eddie Thawne jumped in front of him with the ballistic shield taking on the elemental blasts. "Hold on!" The metahuman got on his feet. "I got him! Go! Go! Go!" he said repeatedly.

The nanite mutant cut of the ice on his suit with a small energy blade, and formed larger thrusters on his back and shot into the air again. Both of his hands reeled back before shooting off blasts from his repulsors again, hitting the criminals in their chests, and away from each other. Using this chance, Barry sped Eddie out of the way with superspeed and into safety.

Barry ran to the other side of the street and Matt landed back on the other side of the street. A hero on both ends of the street of showdown, and the two criminals in middle. They walked over to a side each; Snart going to the right and Rory going to the left.

Panting heavily with pain and grunts of exhaust, Barry placed a hand on his comms device and connected to the armored mutant. "I can't get them to cross streams. Speed isn't getting it done."

Raising an eyebrow behind of his helmet, Matt said back with a quip, even in this dire situation. "Could have you told that a long time ago."

"You're right." Harrison Wells said through the communication link himself, "Maybe the way to do this is not by going faster."

Barry got a flash of realization on his face, "It's going slower."

"Yes." Harrison said. "And you need to do the same, Mr. Almond."

"I can do slow." The armored mutant said before walking ahead slowly.

"Okay." The speedster inhaled and exhaled before walking slowly forward himself.

"Thanks for playing, kid." Snart told The Flash.

"Time to fry, Robocop." Rory told the Iron Knight.

Both heroes shot forth, one running with superspeed and one blasting ahead with his thrusters. Snart shot his blasts of ice at the speedster, letting the ice attack latch onto the slowing speedster who was paining because of the pain. Rory shot his blasts of fire at the armored mutant, letting the fire attack latch onto the nanite mutant who walked himself, but his armor kept him from feeling pain. However, it applied pressure onto him, which made it quite uncomfortable to move actually.

But the two heroes continued to walk, to walk through the pain to make sure that these two criminals is gone for good and rotting in a cell in prison, and the key to their cells is gone. They had to do this and overpower the pain with their suits right now.

The criminals smiled and laughed manically at the pain that was going through the two heroes. However, they were short-lived when the two heroes reached the middle. And they shot out from the middle of the street, letting the two beams of energy cross over with each other. The moment they connected, the criminals' guns shook wildly around, so much that both of them had to use both of them to stabilize them, but to no success. Energy streams of fire and ice erupted, sending both Snart and Rory flying to the ground from an explosion.

Snart looked to the side and saw his cold gun there, and tried to reach for it with a crawl. But it was useless when Barry placed his foot on the cold gun. The criminal smiled and laughed at the fact he had been beaten before he said, "I didn't see that coming, you bringing a new friend along, thought that was my idea. I guess you win this time."

"There won't be a next time." Barry said steadfast. His eyes looked over to the nanite mutant who formed foot clamp with the nanites swarming over both his foot and over Mick Rory's unconscious body, locking the criminal down. Matt showed a thumbs up to the metahuman with a smile behind the helmet.

Both of the heroes saw Eddie nearing Barry with his gun raised up and pointed at the criminal. Remembering that it was thanks to the detective that he was standing here. He thanked the detective, "Thank you, Detective."

WHOOSH

The speedster sped right away after saying his piece. Matt chuckled behind his helmet, he made sure that the clamp was secured before flying off again. Leaving the detective to take care of the two criminals right now.

(Caitlin's apartment, outside)

After the events of what happened this night, Caitlin didn't want to spend time back at the facility. Cisco had asked everyone, Seth, Matt and the others to come and witness him turning on the furnace to destroy both of the elemental guns that had created. And even though, it was very important for him, she couldn't be there right now.

Mostly because she had an inner feeling that told that Seth wasn't going to be there.

So instead of being there with her friends to watch the demise of the abused weapons, she went to go home instead and spend the night alone in her bed. Taking out her keys, she turned the lock around with the twisted key and opened the door. She got the second surprise of her night at the sight.

Her entire apartment was neatly cleaned up, not a speck of dust anywhere on her furniture, or on the walls and the floor. Walking deeper into her home, her nostrils took in the smell of delightful food that flowed through the air. She walked into her living room, and saw her kitchen cleaned up as well, and her eyes drifted to the middle of the room.

There was a table, and on it was two lit candles on a beautifully arranged table. Foods of various kinds, all of her favorites and as she walked closer to it were her favorite drinks as well. "What the…"

Stepping out of his hiding place, with his hands behind his back was Seth who held a sheepish expression on his face. "You know." Caitlin turned around and his eyes. "… you might wanna start closing your windows from now. You never who know might feel like breaking in."

"Maybe, I left it open on purpose." She said sarcastically as she stepped closer to the mutant.

"I would say that for a doctor, that's pretty irresponsible." Seth said as Caitlin hugged him, her arms going around his neck. He used one arm to hug her back, his other one still holding the object behind him.

He wanted to stay there for a bit longer, just hugging her and giving her comfort right now. But he had to ask her, "How are you holding after everything tonight?"

"To be honest?" she asked, Seth nodded immediately, "When Ronnie was passed away, I was frozen. I didn't see the point of living anymore." The mutant didn't like it, hearing her say that. But it made sense because it was the same with him after Stef and Bucky's death. "And what happened tonight, when I also died… I thought of you."

Her words caused surprise to fill the mutant. He could have that she might have wanted to at least get her former fiancée back again, and out of insanity. "I thought of all the people we've saved and the miracles we've witnessed. It made me realize." She took out her engagement ring, and as the mutant waited intensively for her next action, he was once again surprised when he saw her place it away, into a drawer, deep into it. "Ronnie's gone. I thought that I was living in the future, and not in the past because I met you, Seth. And I was right, but I was still holding onto the memory of Ronnie. And it's time I stop it."

Seth admired her decision and her words to do so. It took bravery and courage and a determination that was akin to that of an incredibly wild flame. To move on from the past like that…. Something Seth wanted to do right now, so desperately wanted to do, but couldn't because of the nightmare in red and black veins that might be in his city now.

As long as Carnage was still drawing breath, he was unable to move on. Unable to finally take off his engagement ring that Stef had given him the same time he proposed to him. But when that deranged killer have been taken care off, he could finally move on with Caitlin… finally start a true, and honest life with her, without any secrets anymore.

Exhaling a deep withheld breath, the mutant said. "Cait. I'm sorry that I have been distant with you lately, it wasn't fair on you. And I'm the jerk because I didn't even give you an explanation. And tonight, I almost lost you…and it made me beyond angry than I have been for a very long time." He sneered out that part, "I hated myself because of that. I felt like was avoiding you."

"But why?" That was the only question on her mind, "You don't have to hide anything from me."

"The thing is Cait…When Ronnie came back like that, even with the metahuman powers. I… I didn't want to add any confusion to the mix of situations you were going through. I thought that you might need some time and no pressure actually." He told her.

"You didn't want me to be confused…?" she said.

He nodded before continuing with a heavy heart. "I wasn't sure if you wanted me close, or maybe you needed some distance right now while your sort things out. And honestly, I went through strange things before, trust me I have, but I didn't know if you wanted to be approached by the subject. I mean, it is Ronnie, your Ronnie, Cait." Caitlin didn't feel right about Ronnie being hers anymore, it didn't feel like it anymore like that. "I know how to abolish my emotions when I need to be, to be lifeless on command, if you will. It's a skill I learned as a kid after the experiments and perfected it at SHIELD, after countless of missions. I turned it on to make sure that you didn't think about me and only thought about your own situations. To wrap your own head around them. I thought that was the best course of action."

Realization dawned on Caitlin at his words. She thought that he might have hated her and tried to stay away from her because of the situation she was going through right now. But he did it purely for her sake, so she wouldn't be burden with his influence.

"You're not the only one to feel like that, Seth." Caitlin admitted, "I mean, I was able to feel no emotions because of traumatic memories too. And truth be told, I haven't been too approachable either." Seth smiled at that. "But I don't want you gone from me."

A wider smile graced his face again. "Me too. And I'm sorry again for leaving alone like that. I shouldn't have. If I didn't do that, then I might have been able to get you of that jam sooner."

"Seth." He grabbed hold of his head with both of her hands, "Didn't you hear me before? I was scared yeah, but I knew that you would come for me. You're the Venom to protect my Cure after all." He smiled again. "You're my protector after all." He never liked that word, not after he failed Stef and Bucky, but hearing it come out of her voice, made it better than ever before. "Before I met you, Seth, I was frozen. Frozen in time. Not able to move forward. But you came… and you helped me move forward again, helped me unfroze."

"That's why I want you by my side, Seth Fury. Even with all of the craziness going here, I want you beside me, and I don't want to let you go. Not ever." She inhaled before repeating her words again, "Ronnie's gone. And I'm going to stop looking for him."

This was far more surprising to Seth, to hear that. It was like she chose him, and it him brim with happiness. "Told you!" He heard his partner shout in his head.

"But Seth…" He gives his attention, hearing the concern in her voice. "… what happened before? At the warehouse? I've never seen that before. Seen you like that."

Seth knew that she was going to ask about that, but he really hoped that she wouldn't. But it would come eventually, so he inhaled and said, "That form… is the form I took when I lost Stef…almost a year ago." Her eyes widen with shock. "When I feel a fever pitch of negative emotions, like hate and anger. Then my elements, go…berserk. And me and Venom follow shortly after, I go complete berserk when that happens. And grow into that… abomination."

"You turned into that… for me?"

"Yeah, and because I thought I was going to lose you." Seth told her, allowing love and warmth to swarm over her body right now. "Caitlin, I lost Stefanie already, the woman I care about, and I couldn't lose you too. That'd be too much for me. And it caused me to go berserk and I absolutely hate that you had to see me like that, seeing me kill those people in cold-blood. I never wanted anyone to see me like that, especially you."

"They going to cut me or worse if you hadn't come, Seth. I'm glad that you came the moment you did, Seth." Caitlin assured him with her hand wrapping around his own. "And it was surprising to see you like that, but I accepted it. You did save me after all." She said lovingly.

"Cait, about that. I wasn't honest about what I said before." Caitlin drew a blank. "About my dad saving me from the military. I-"

"You killed everyone in the facility that experimented on you." Seth's eyes shot open with shock. "I'm smarter than you think, you know Seth Fury. But why didn't you tell me that?" He looked unsure on how to continue, "It's because you thought you'd drive me away because you kept thinking that I wouldn't be with a killer? Right?"

Seth rubbed the back of his head sheepishly as he was looked through that easily. "Yeah, I did. And I guess that was the real reason why the Ghost Rider attacked me before. Because they thought they were doing no crime, only good things because I'm a mutant, and because I killed them in cold-blood." He shook his head before continuing, "That's what I thinking this entire time, when Ronnie came back. That you'd wouldn't be with me because I'm an anti-hero, a killer."

"But that's the part that I care about, you dummy!" she said with a chuckle, "You told me that you're willing to take on the harsh choices that people like Barry and other heroes are not able to make. That you can make that choice, and only for the sake of the innocents. You never actually thought I had accepted that part of you long ago, but I did."

"I'm sorry. Caitlin." Seth said, but then he realized that he going to be forthright with her, telling more about himself… and Stef. He couldn't talk about Bucky right now, not yet. "You want to know more about Stef don't you?" she nodded, "Stef was like I said before, the quirky one of our relationship, always making jokes and pranks on people. She could never get me of course, until the day I proposed to her. She might have gotten her sense of humor from her job as a kindergarten teacher or from the secondary job as a librarian. She always enjoyed kids and reading. But she was amazing because of that. When she knew about me being Venom and being an agent of SHIELD, she accepted me in a second. Like you did." He placed his lovingly blue eyes on her tearful amber eyes. "Just like the amazing, ethereal woman who's nothing short of an angel, who's standing right before me, the demon from the very pits of Hell from another universe. You're the kind of woman, that no one could compete with, Caitlin. And I can never let go of you."

Neither of them could handle it anymore, they pressed both of their lips to each other. Each and every loving feeling coursing through their veins, put into their moment right. And Caitlin could feel them all return again with a vengeance. And Seth could feel his emotions go into another fever pitch, but unlike before; this one was of excitement. Feeling excitement course through his body right now because he was once again enamored by the feeling of the amazing woman in his arms again and so did she.

They were there for each other and they couldn't happier right now.

Caitlin pulled away from Seth's lips and gestured to the table. "Is that set for two?"

The mutant smirked with a tendril shooting out of his side and pulled a chair out for her. "M'lady?" he bowed for her. But she was surprised when Seth pulled out a bouquet of snow-white roses from behind his back. "Don't know why, but some peoples like bouquets of roses after their first kidnapping. Well, I would have liked a burger instead." He quipped with a joke, as she took the bouquet and smelled the roses in them.

Caitlin and Seth walked over to table and each took a seat on opposite side of the table. Once again, using his tendrils he placed food on her plate as well as his own. And when the plates were filled, the two each enjoyed the flavors before them… and moreover, each other's company.

(S.T.A.R. Labs, Cisco's workshop)

Back at the facility of S.T.A.R. Labs where Cisco, Barry and Dr. Wells had previously witness the destruction of the elemental guns that the mechanical engineer had built along with the nanite mutant of the other universe.

But Matt didn't want Cisco's marvelous creations to end like that. He thought that they deserved to be used the right way, to let their full potential be realized. So the mutant asked Cisco for access to his personal files and schematics for his previous inventions.

Cisco had no problem with offering full access to his files, and giving so to Matt. Which got the mutant to stay the night in the facility, to work on a project of his own. One that would change the tide of technologies of this universe.

Matt took of his red leather jacket and rolled up his sleeves, readying himself for work right now. "Jarvis, you still there?"

"I'm here, sir." The AI replied.

With a smile, he took out his arc reactor and placed it on the worktable, before plugging it into the computers. A second later, the monitors showed the suits' designs, his Iron Knight suit and his War Machine-like suit. Curious eyes of inspiration drifted from one suit to the other, before Matt decided on the War Machine-like suit.

With that suit chosen, Matt requested from his AI partner. "Bring up the schematics, would you?" Not even a second later, a pair of schematics showed up on the monitors beside the one showcasing his suit, "Thanks, J How about you and I start up a new project?"

"Splendid idea, sir." The AI replied happily as he overlapped the three schematics on top of each other, before the mutant even requested it. Matt smiled when saw his father's trusty right-hand man know his own thoughts. "Do you have a name for the project itself and the armor?"

"A name, huh?" The nanite mutant asked himself with no idea on how to assign a name for the new project before him. He would love to have Cisco's help right now with the names at least, but he couldn't right now. Since it was a surprise this one.

His mind then flashed back to his and Barry's fight with the two criminals, "Any preference on how you two would like to die? The flame or the frost?" he also realized that he was now combining two technologies from two different universes, from two different worlds.

He chuckled when he found the words very fitting for this project.

"Jarvis, project name: Best of Both Worlds. Armor name: Frost-Flame."

That's chapter for you guys then.

I hope you guys are looking forward to the next chapters. And thanks for all of the reviews from you guys. They are and will be always amazing!

A little note for you guys, in the next chapters, you will see more of Matt's fighting than Seth's. Look forward to that!

Now until next time, you guys!
