"Cisco, please don't go! If this doesn't work you could die!" Alex heard herself plea as she and Cisco watched their future selves interact directly in front of them.

"And if I don't try she'll come for you," he whispered before lifting his hand to caress her cheek.

"You saw this while we were at Jitters?" present day Cisco quietly asked as he stood next to Alex. She silently nodded in reply.

"I had no context at the time, so I tried not to focus on it. Now it makes sense though," she confessed, feeling a bit guilty about keeping the vision to herself. To be honest, this vision in particular had slipped her mind. It was such a short glimpse that happened while in a public setting she didn't have the time to worry about it.

The imagine in front of them began to fade away and transform into a wooded area.

"This is it," Alex whispered, a lump forming in her throat as memories of Cisco's death flooded back to mind. Cisco reached out to place a comforting hand on her shoulder. Alex looked up to give him a thankful smile right before they heard a voice in the distance.

"You don't have to do this, Caitlin," future Cisco called out. He was standing a few feet in front of them, but Killer Frost was nowhere to be seen.

"What are you wearing?" Alex asked Cisco, referring to the illuminated glasses on his face.

"They're enhanced goggles to help focus my powers," he answered in a mumble without much thought, too caught up in watching the scene play out before them.

"Oh, but I do, Cisco."

The sudden sound of Killer Frost's sultry voice took the two by surprise. They quickly turned to see the white haired meta in the distance.

"And the name's Killer Frost," she finished through gritted teeth before shooting an icicle in future Cisco's direction.

The two proceeded to battle like Alex had seen the last time she witnessed the vision. She instinctively placed her hand on Cisco's forearm, wanting to somehow shield him from what she knew was coming.

"Caitlin, please," future Cisco begged as he hid behind the trunk of a tree.

"I'm holding back," present day Cisco noted. "I'm scared if I don't then I could kill her."

Despite his words, as Killer Frost advanced her attack, future Cisco shot a sonic wave in her direction causing her to go flying back a few feet. She landed lifelessly on the ground.

Future Cisco momentarily watched from afar before jogging over to check on his friend.

Without another word, Alex immediately ended the vision causing the image in front of them to slowly fade to black.

"So she was pretending to be unconscious?" Cisco asked as the two returned from the vision. Alex nodded.

"She waits for you to kneel next to her before making her move," Alex replied after forcing herself to swallow the forming lump in her throat.

They briefly remained silent before Cisco reached out, placing his hands around Alex's waist and pulling her close. Alex, in return, lifted her hands to rest upon his shoulders as she looked up at him.

"I'm not going to let her hurt you again," Cisco whispered as the two locked eyes. Alex's face softened at the sincerity in his voice. Slowly, she inched closer to him until there was no longer any space between them.

"Hopefully it won't come down to the two of you facing off," Alex said as she let one of her hands travel upwards to the back of his neck, gently entangling her fingers in a few strands of his hair.

"Now, do you want to explain to me what you said earlier about you seeing yourself die?" she asked, her tone of voice slightly hardening. Cisco looked down to avoid her gaze.

"I, uh...in another timeline I was killed," he confessed before looking back up to Alex. Her brows furrowed in confusion.

"Another timeline?" she asked. Cisco slightly tightened his hold around Alex's waist, feeling comforted by her close proximity.

"Long story short, a guy we trusted turned out to be a Big Bad in disguise. He was a speedster like Barry, and he could vibrate his hand so fast it'd penetrate solid objects. He ended up using his vibrating hand to pierce through my chest. Luckily, Barry ended up running back in time, therefore creating a new timeline in which I survived."

Alex stared at Cisco in disbelief as he went on to explain how he stumbled across his fate in the previous timeline once his powers began manifesting.

Silently, Alex lifted her free hand to Cisco's cheek in a tender caress before leaning up to press her lips against his. Cisco eagerly reciprocated, deepening the kiss as his hands pulled her body against his causing him to take a half step back, bumping into his desk in the process.

The sound of a few items falling from the desk and hitting the floor wasn't enough for them to break away from one another. Only when the two needed to regain their breath did they pull apart.

Alex glanced down at the objects that now rested on the floor. "Sorry about that," she grinned with flushed cheeks as she pulled out of Cisco's arms to begin picking up the mess.

"That is like, literally, the last thing I care about right now," Cisco replied, the familiar lighthearted nature in his voice returning. Alex couldn't help but laugh as Cisco joined her in picking up.

"Hey, what are these?" she asked, holding up a pair of matching circular objects. Cisco's face fell as he took them out of her hands and stood. Alex followed.

"They're power dampening cuffs. Caitlin temporarily used them to keep Ice Queen at bay," he explained, twirling them about in his hands before looking back up at Alex.

"Keep them," Cisco said as he handed Alex back the cuffs. "If you ever encounter Killer Frost again, I want you to immediately try to put them on," he requested. Alex tilted her head in confusion as she held on to the cuffs.

"Cisco, if it wasn't for my vision we wouldn't be certain of Savitar's motives. Remember, it was you who encouraged me to embrace my powers," Alex said softly, looking down at the items in her hands.

"Yeah, that was before you almost became a shish kabob because of them. It's different now, Alex. I thought we both agreed your life was more important than these glimpses...I just want you safe," he finished in a defeated whisper. Alex nodded in understanding as she tightened her grip around the cuffs.

"I'll think about it," she countered with a forced tight lipped smile.
