Pairing: Barry/E2 Laurel Oliver/Caitlin
(Keystone City) Iron Heights
Barry Allen, who was an inmate in Iron Heights for supposedly killing Clifford Devoe, was surprised when he was brought into a room to talk to his lawyer. When he entered the room he saw Laurel Lance waiting at the other table.
"You can leave us please" Stated Laurel
"It is customary for a guard to stay when an inmate is talking to a guest" Stated the Guard
"I am his lawyer, does Lawyer-Client privilege not meaning anything to you?" argued Laurel
"Well um …. " Stated the Guard
"Then get out or I will report you" Stated Laurel
"If that is what you want" Stated the Guard left leaving only Laurel and Barry
"What are you doing here?" asked Barry
"What does it look like, I am here to get you out of here" Stated Laurel
"But why? I locked you for months and forgot about you." Stated Barry shocked
"Well I did deserve it, I do wish the conditions had been better. And you had a lot on your plate at the time. Plus we both know that you are innocent. "Stated Laurel
"How did you hear about it?" asked Barry
"The idiot blonde mentioned your case and I looked at it, they railroaded you. The evidence wasn't conclusively nor did they prove motive the only thing that they had going for them is that your prints was on the knife and you were discovered with the body" State Laurel
"We already tried that in court" asked Barry
"No, I read the court minutes. Not once did your lawyer talk about motive or the inconclusive evidence" Stated Laurel
"So you can get me out of here?" asked Barry hopefully
"I will certainly try" Stated Laurel
(Slabside) Visiting Room
Oliver was taken out of his cell by several guards and brought into a room, where he saw the last person he expected to see in front of him, Caitlin Snow.
"You have an hour" Stated the guard as he left
"Caitlin, what are you doing here?" asked Oliver
"I came to check on you, Barry would of but I assume you heard" Stated Caitlin sighing
"I did hear that he got convicted too" Stated Oliver
"We are working to get him out, all of us expect Iris" Stated Caitlin
"I'd imagine that she would have been the first one to try to get him out" Stated Oliver
"She believes that he did it" Stated Caitlin
"I see" Stated Oliver
"But enough about that, how are you holding up in here?" asked Caitlin
"Well enough I suppose, trying to find a way to be released legally" Stated Oliver
"There are no cameras, as far as they are concerned I am your personal physician sent by Diggle to see how you are holding up" Stated Caitlin
"Smart" Stated Oliver
"We thought so, if I could make a suggestion, why don't you go after the FBI Agent, I heard she was corrupt" Stated Caitlin
"She was, but if I didn't confess then she was going to arrest the entire team" Stated Oliver
"Well, Diggle told me that she threatened you son too." Stated Caitlin
"She did" admitted Oliver
"You could say that she threatened your son, causing you to confess. By the way, that was Frosts idea not mine" admitted Caitlin
"That wouldn't work, I have no way to prove it" Stated Oliver
"What about … "Started Caitlin
"Why are you so dead set on getting me out?" asked Oliver
"You don't deserve to be here, all you did was protect your city and this is your reward, getting stuck in prison. It doesn't seem fair" Stated Caitlin
"It is my punishment for all of the lives that I took" Stated Oliver
"You did it to survive or protect your city" Stated Caitlin
"It doesn't matter, I broke laws even though it saved lives." Stated Oliver
(Keystone City) Iron Heights – a week later
Laurel and Barry were once again sitting in a room to talk.
"So how is the case coming along?" asked Barry
"I got the evidence and had it sent off to a private lab. But that is not why I wanted to talk to you" Stated Laurel
"Oh?" asked Barry surprised
"I noticed that your wife had been distancing herself from you since your trial" stated Laurel
"Is that bad for your case?" asked Barry concerned
"It does have some relevance but it truly doesn't matter compared to the evidence, that isn't why I brought it up" Stated Laurel
"Then why did you?" asked Barry confused
"I know that you visited Earth 2 and saw your doppelganger. And how he was married to Iris" Stated Laurel
"I did" Stated Barry
"You don't know the whole story, about that marriage. It was a marriage of greed" Stated Laurel
"What? "asked Barry surprised
"Your Earth 2 doppelganger was rich, ridiculously so. He only worked as a CSI as a form of public service. Earth 2 Iris only married him for his money" Stated Laurel
"How do you know this?" asked Barry
"Iris and I used to be friends, and she used me to get your doppelganger to fall in love with her. She only cares about herself, even now she doesn't care about you. She isn't doing anything to get you out of here, she is only distancing herself from you. Has she visited once?" Stated Laurel
"No" Stated Barry sadly
"I also heard that she let you stay in the speed force six months and didn't even want to get you out? If it was my finance stuck in there, I would work as fast as possible to get him out. Not play the waiting game" Argued Laurel
"I do see your point, but we are married" argued Barry
"Then you obviously married the wrong person, have a think about that. See you next week" Stated Laurel as she left leaving Barry alone to think
(Keystone City) Iron Heights – three days later
Cisco was surprised when Barry had the prison contact him asking to come talk, Cisco was in one of visitor room with Barry and a Guard.
"How are you holding up?" asked Cisco
"I could be better, I suppose" Stated Barry
"How is Iris?" asked Barry as Cisco winced
"She … is still believing that you actually did it. We are working on getting you out of here" Stated Cisco sadly
"Can you be honest with me? "Asked Barry
"About your chances? "Asked Cisco
"No. I want your opinion on my relationship with Iris. No holding back" Stated Barry
"Are you sure that you want that?" asked Cisco gently
"I do" Stated Barry
"Right you can tell me to stop at any point. I don't think that she loves you like you love her. I remember you told me that she said that she would have picked Eddie regardless of what the future said. That should have raised some red flags. You could argue that she moved on, but she only saw you that way you did when she saw your cool side. And I think that she only loves your cool side. Plus when you went on your … sabbatical, she didn't want you to come back sooner. If I hadn't done anything then she would have be fine letting you be away. Plus the time that she showed off her ring less finger after you had gotten into a fight. Plus since you began dating you have been distancing yourself from me and Caitlin." Ranted Cisco
"Thank you for your honesty" Stated Barry softly
"No problem, can I ask what brought this on?" asked Cisco
"I just been thinking about I guess" Stated Barry
(Starling City) Watson Apartment – two days later
FBI special Agent Samanda Watson was walking inside her apartment after a day at work, she turned and saw someone else in her apartment.
"I wouldn't reach for that weapon if I was you" stated the other figure
"Or what?" Dared Samanda
"I will freeze your arm off" Stated the woman
"Who are you?" demanded Samanda
"You can call me Frost, and you are going to answer all of my questions or the previous offer still stand" Stated Frost
"No way" Stated Samanda as she reached for her gun but Frost shot an icicle which knocked the gun out of her hand
"We could have done this the easy way, I guess not" Stated Frost as she froze Samanda legs and arms into place only leaving her head
"It is so cold" Stammered out Samanda
"Answer my questions and I will let you go" Stated Frost
"Never" Stated Samanda
"Then I guess we wait, I have all day. You don't though, eventually you will go into hypothermic shock. I assume you know what that means" asked Frost
"I'll answer your stupid questions" Stated Samanda knowing that she didn't have much of a choice
"Good, and just know that I can tell when you are lying. My first question is …. "Stated Frost
(Slabside) Visiting Room – two days later
"So, Frost might have did something" Stated Caitlin as she and Oliver meet again in the room
"What did she do?" asked Oliver
"She paid that FBI Agent a visit, and got her to confess to the courts that she framed you" Stated Caitlin nervously
"What?" asked Oliver shocked
"Yeah, it hit the news this morning. She went and confessed to framing you, I don't know what Frost did to get her to do that. She must have blocked my memories" admitted Caitlin
"Do you know why Frost did it?" asked Oliver as Caitlin blushed
"She …. Um thought that you would be good for me. I have a crush on you" Stated Caitlin as she was blushing bright red
"So Frost visited and probably tortured a FBI Agent because you have a crush on me?" asked Oliver skeptically
"Yes" admitted Caitlin nervously
"I see" Stated Oliver
"I didn't do it to get into your pants." Exclaimed Caitlin
"Look, after this is sorted out we can talk more about it okay?" asked Oliver
"Alright" Stated Caitlin
(Keystone City) Iron Heights – a day later
"So the evidence came back, and I can say that it proves that you didn't do it" Stated Laurel as she and Barry meet in the visiting room in Iron Heights
"We already knew that" Argued Barry
"We did, but now we can prove it." Stated Laurel
"Why was Devoe so careless? He wanted me out of the way but left sloppy evidence" Stated Barry
"It gets rid of his body and you temporarily at the same time, he wants you to get out" Guessed Laurel
"Well, I guess I will have to deal with him after I get out" Stated Barry
"Right, so I am going in front of the courts tomorrow to get them to look at your case" Stated Laurel
"How long until I get out?" asked Barry
"If things go the way I like, three weeks maybe" Stated Laurel
"I thought about what you said last time" stated Barry
"Oh?" asked Laurel curiously
"I think that I want to divorce Iris" Revealed Barry
(Slabside) Prisoner Transfer – a week later
Oliver was being escorted out of Sladside after the evidence from Agent Watson became public, and in return for Oliver not suing the FBI, he was released and give a public apology with the blame being shifted on Agent Watson.
(Keystone City) Iron Heights – a month later
Barry was being escorted out of Iron Heights by two guards, and stopped at the front desk and retrieved his belongings, before being escorted outside where Laurel was waiting.
"Thank you, for everything" Stated Barry as he hugged her
"It was nothing" Stated Laurel
(Central City) Star Labs – next day
Team Flash was working on how to stop Devoe and get Barry out of Prison. When Caitlin turned and gasped and who was standing in the door way, everyone turned to see it was Barry.
"Hey guys" Stated Barry as Caitlin ran up to him and gave him a hug which Barry returned
"How did you get out?" asked Cisco
"A lawyer friend of mine was working the case, they managed to get the entire case thrown out and is even suing them for their conduct in the case" Stated Barry
"When did you get out?" asked Ralph
"Yesterday, sorry I didn't tell you guys" Stated Barry
"It is fine, I am just glad that you are out of prison." Stated Iris
"Oliver got of prison too, about a month ago" Stated Caitlin
"I might have to pay him a visit soon" Stated Barry
"What is that in your hand?" asked Ralph as he noticed a folder in his hands
"Iris West consider yourself served" Stated Barry as he passed the folder to her as she opened it and read it
"Divorce papers. We can work this out Barry" Exclaimed Iris as everyone else was shocked, they had not been expecting this, well maybe Cisco
"No we cannot. You believed that I actually murdered him, which I didn't. And you were ready to reveal my identity to the whole world when it wouldn't have solved anything." Stated Barry
"I will not sign them" Stated Iris
"Doesn't matter, I will just contact my lawyer. I am sorry Iris but it is over" Stated Barry
"It is not over, you just need time to readjust. Find me when you change your mind" Stated Iris as she left
"I know that we talked about your relationship but I wasn't expecting this" Stated Cisco
"I learned that she wasn't the one for me" Stated Barry
(Central City) Caitlin's apartment – four months later
Caitlin was just about to go to bed when she heard a knock at her door. She opened it to see Oliver standing on the otherside.
"Can we talk?" asked Oliver
"Sure, come in" Stated Caitlin as she let him inside
"Felicity and I got divorced" admitted Oliver
"I wasn't expecting that" Stated Caitlin surprised
"It wasn't because of you" Stated Oliver
"Then why did you?" asked Caitlin
"Well, many things. She sent my son away, I know that she had the best intentions but she didn't even run it by me. Plus our relationship wasn't at the best place since we got married. And she admitted that she still loved Ray. We were drifting apart and I don't want to be in a strained marriage. So we divorced four months ago" Revealed Oliver
"I don't know what to say" Stated Caitlin
"Look, it might be too soon. But would you go on a date with me sometime?" asked Oliver
"Sure, but I want to take it slow" Stated Caitlin
"If that is what you want" Stated Oliver
"It is" Stated Caitlin smiling
(Central City) Barry's Loft – next morning
Barry didn't know how this had happened. He and Laurel had continued to hang out after him getting out of prison and finalizing his divorce with Iris. Last night, they had went to a bar and gotten drunk and he vaguely remembering him saying that he found her gorgeous and making out with her which lead to them going back to his place.
"I see you awake" Stated Laurel
"Yeah" Stammered Barry
"Oh, don't be like that. I like you too, I know that you were drunk last night but I wasn't. I know it might be too soon but we can take it at your pace" Stated Laurel
"I guess we can give it a try" Stated Barry
(Central City) Star Labs – three weeks later
Barry, Cisco and Caitlin were all at Star Labs after successfully capturing the latest Meta.
"I need to tell you both something" Stated Caitlin
"Is everything alright?" asked Barry concerned
"Everything is fine, I just wanted to tell you that me and Oliver are dating" Revealed Caitlin
"Are you happy?" asked Cisco
"I am" Stated Caitlin smiling
"I guess I have something to tell you both too, me and Laurel are dating too" Stated Barry
"How did that happen?" asked Caitlin surprised
"She was the one that helped get me out, we kind of grew close after I got out" Stated Barry
"So first Caitlin starts dating Oliver and then you are dating Laurel? Why is prison so good for starting relationships?" Complained Cisco
"I think it was just isolated cases and technically we were both innocent" Stated Barry
"Maybe it was that Caitlin and Laurel stood by side proving your evidence and falling in love during the way" Stated Cisco
"It didn't happen like that" argued Caitlin
"Yeah, and isn't that a bit cliché?" Stated Barry
"Isn't the whole person getting divorced and then getting with their lawyer, a bit cliché?" retorted Ralph as everyone turned to see Ralph standing in the doorway
"How long were you standing there?" asked Caitlin
"Oh I heard all of it" Stated Ralph
"Of course you did" Stated Barry sighing
