Part 15

"Oracle, Vibe do we have eyes in the school?" asked Oliver

"Joker has everyone gathered in the auditorium. He has two large tanks like used for portable oxygen. But most likely they are filled with Joker toxin gas." Said Oracle

"Does he have any guards?" asked Sara

"Not that we can tell. But there are some blind spots. The whole auditorium is not covered by cameras. Most are just pointed at the stage area." Said Cisco

"The doors are chained from the inside. Except for the stage door. Green Arrow, Batman how do you feel about dropping in from the rafters? You could easily get to a catwalk above the stage and drop in. White Cannery, Flash and I can get the hostages out." Said Supergirl

"Sounds like a plan to me." Said Oliver

"Let's do this." Grumbled Batman

Caitlin rubbed her eyes as she looked through the microscope. They had been working for nearly two hours but she was having trouble concentrating. She was worried about Barry. Oh she had no doubt that between Oliver, Kara and Sara that he would come back to her in more or less one piece. But she had grown use to being by his side in battle. She also had a feeling that some of those teens were going to wonder where she is. Letting out a sigh she got up from the table she was working at and headed out of the lab. She headed for the small kitchen in the break room passing the cortex. She could hear that things seemed to be going their way at the school. After fixing herself some tea she went into the speed lab and sat on the treadmill. She was lost in thought and didn't notice Alex had come in.

"Cait are you ok?" asked Alex breaking Caitlin out of her thoughts.

"Yeah."

"Want to try again?"

"What do you mean?"

"Caitlin, I think I know you well enough to know when you are lying. Something has been bothering you since you woke up."

She has a point Caity. You going to tell her or do I have to?

Caitlin sighed knowing very well that she was going to have to tell Alex. Frost would do it other wise.

"Oliver, thinks I should go talk to my dad. Barry got a meta cuff on him so he is really my dad right now. Not that ice monster." Said Caitlin

"Cait, we have no idea if what we are doing is even going to work. You really should take this opportunity to talk to your dad. Let him see the woman you grew up to become. He missed out on seeing you grow from a little girl into the amazing woman you are. When my dad went missing I was fifteen, nearly grown. He came back into my life for a very short time before he had to leave again. He left to protect Kara and me. Your dad left you for the same reason. He left you because he loves you. Think about it if he stayed and Icicle was the one in control Caitlin most likely would not be sitting here. All that would be left is Frost, but it wouldn't be the hero Frost. It would be the villain Killer Frost. Laurel wouldn't exist. More than likely you would be either locked in one of those cells downstairs or in a prison cell at Iron Heights. Then there is the very worse case scenario. Oliver told me about ARGUS and Taskforce X also known as the Suicide Squad. You could be force to work for them. From what I have heard about the not missed dead director Amanda Waller she was much like Lillian Luthor."

"I know this Alex! I'm scared. I am scared like I was after the particle accelerator explosion that I believed I lost Ronnie in."

"How did you get past that fear the first time?"

"Barry went with me. He helped me face my fear."

"I know I am not Barry. Hell I am nothing like Barry. But I could go with you. Just until you feel you are ready to be on your own."

"Alex, you are more like Barry than you know. You have the same kind heart he does. That is what made me fall in love with him. If I was into women, you are the kind I would look for. For the record Maggie is a fool for dumping you because of her not wanting kids."

"Thanks Cait. Hopefully I will find my Ms. Right one day."

"I know that you will. Kara, will find someone too."

"Come on you want to see your dad or get back to work?"

"I should go see my dad."

Alex stood up first then offered her hand to Caitlin and helped her to her feet. Then both headed to the pipeline.

Supergirl went to each set of doors checked them for any unwanted surprises and then ripped them open. At the same time both Batman and Green Arrow used ropes to drop onto the stage from the rafters and catwalk above. The then began to engage with the Joker while White Cannery, Flash and Supergirl got the hostages out. Once all the hostages were safe the other heroes joined Batman and Green Arrow on the stage.

"It's over Joker give up." Said Batman

"Not a chances Bats. Greenie, Red, and the blondies aren't enough to stop me."

"Really? It's guys like you that have made me hate clowns. Besides I am a former member of the League of Assassins trained by Ra's al Ghul himself." Said Sara

"Is that suppose to impress me?" asked Joker

"I don't really care. All I care about is kicking your ass for what your insane girlfriend did to my sister's namesake's mother." Said Sara

"White Cannery, try and keep that anger in check." Said Oracle

"Don't worry as much as I would like to, I won't kill the crazy clown."

With all of them working together it wasn't long before the Joker was captured.
