After Savitar is dealt with, the rest of Team Flash has Barry decide between Caitlin and the rest of the team, and Barry feeling guilty over what Caitlin had to go through as Killer Frost, picks Caitlin and Cisco sends them to Earth 38.

Pairing: Kara / Caitlin Barry/Alex

Prompt: Caitlin/Kara + Barry/Alex


(Earth 1) Central City: Star Labs

Team Flash was meeting in Star Labs at the request of Iris. They had recently defeated Savitar and because Savitar was erased the Speed Force Prison was erased as well. Barry had gone and got Caitlin back from killer Frost and brought her back to star labs. Present at this meeting was Iris, Cisco, Wally, Caitlin, and Barry.

"So, what is this meeting about?" asked Barry curiously

"Wally, Cisco and I have been talking and we think that Caitlin should no longer be apart of the team" Stated Iris

"What?" Exclaimed Caitlin

"It is nothing personal Caitlin, but what happens if you become Killer Frost again" Stated Cisco

"You did cause a lot of damage" Admitted Wally

"And I also saved Iris's life" Countered Caitlin

"And you helped Savitar almost end it" Countered Wally

"Barry?" asked Iris as she turned to him, as he was silent up to this point

"She stays" Stated Barry, backing up Caitlin which was something that he knew that would have not done a week ago, it was a bitter pill to swallow. He had thought about it when they were trying to get Caitlin back, that he had not been there for Caitlin or Cisco as much as he should of, he was going to correct it starting now.

"What?" Exclaimed Iris surprised

"I said she stays" Declared Barry

'Think about this Barry" Stated Iris

"I already have, she stays. She has been apart of Team Flash longer than you and is a valued member of this team." Stated Barry

"She tried to kill, Iris" Countered Wally

"I assure that it will not happen again" Stated Caitlin

"And we should just take your word" Countered Cisco

"Look, Barry it is either us or her. Make your choice" Demanded Iris

"Can't we talk about this" Tried Caitlin

"No one is talking to you" Countered Cisco

"I thought that we were friends, Cisco" Exclaimed Caitlin

"That changed when you betrayed us" Admitted Cisco

"You have to make a choice, Barry. Us or Her" Demanded Iris

"She is staying on the team, and there is not going to be none of this us or her" Declared Barry

"No, Barry …. "Started Iris

"You made your choice" Declared Cisco as he opened a portal underneath Barry before he could react and did the same to Caitlin

"And don't come back" Yelled Cisco through the breach


(Earth 38) National City: Field

When Barry and Caitlin fell through the breach, they were in a field outside a city.

"I can't believe that they did that" Stated Caitlin

"I know, we don't need them Caitlin" Stated Barry

"Why? Why pick me?" asked Caitlin

"Since Flashpoint, I haven't been a good friend to you or Cisco. I released that last week, while we were trying to bring you back. Plus, what they were doing was wrong, it wasn't your fault." Admitted Barry

"Thank you, Barry" Stated Caitlin as she hugged Barry

"Where are we?" asked Caitlin as they stopped hugging

"I would say Earth 38, I wonder where Kara is?" asked Barry

"Are we staying here?" asked Caitlin

"We can, I mean I don't think that you have a doppelganger. I did look when I was stuck here the first time" admitted Barry

"Do you know where Kara lives?" asked Caitlin

"I don't remember exactly where it is, but I do know where her base is. Are you ready?" asked Barry

"As I ever will be" Stated Caitlin as Barry picked her up and Barry started running towards the DEO


(Earth 38) National City: DEO HQ

Alex, Winn and J'onn were in the command center of the DEO, when an alert went off and Winn went over to see what it was.

"There is a breach out in the field outside the city" Revealed Winn

"Do you have any idea who came through?" asked J'onn

"I don't …. Know" Stated Winn as a red streak was behind them

"Barry?" asked Winn

"Hey Winn, and company" Stated Barry as he removed his mask, with Caitlin standing next to him

"What brings you by?" asked Alex

"Well, we kind of got kicked out of our Earth" admitted Caitlin

"Maybe we should go to another room" Suggested J'onn as Barry nodded, and they went into a conference room

"Is Kara around?" asked Barry as they were in the room

"She … Mon-el died in an invasion. She hasn't been herself lately" admitted Alex

"So why are you kicked out of your Earth?" asked J'onn

"Well, I was fighting this evil speedster name Savitar who turned to be a version of future me … "Started Barry

"I found out that I got powers, and they caused me to turn evil. I have it under control now, but I helped Savitar and the team … didn't like that really much" Shared Caitlin

"I brought Caitlin back and got her powers under control, the team made me pick between them and Caitlin. I didn't want to fail Caitlin again, so I picked her, and they sent us through a breach to this Earth saying not to come back" Finished Barry

"Wow" Stated Winn

"You can both stay here if you want, I am sure we can make identities for you both" Stated J'onn

"Thank you" Stated Caitlin

"I am going to check on Kara" Stated Barry as he stood up

"Wait, maybe I should try. I do have more experience" Shared Caitlin as she bit her lip

"Are you sure?" asked Barry concerned

"Yeah, I promise I will be fine" Reassured Caitlin

"I can take you over there" offered Winn

"Thank you" Stated Caitlin as she left with Winn


(Earth 38) National City: Kara's apartment

Winn had drove Caitlin over to Kara's apartment and gave her a key.

"I don't think that she would be very happy to see anyone, but you can try" Stated Winn

"Thank you" Stated Caitlin as she took the key and walked up to Kara's apartment door and instead of knocking she put in the key and entered the apartment as she heard someone walk into the living room

"Alex, just go away" Stated Kara

"It is not Alex, It's Caitlin. I am a friend of Barry" Stated Caitlin

"I don't have time for Barry right now" Stated Kara as she came into view, and she was wearing her pajamas

"I am not here for Barry. I know how you feel" Admitted Caitlin

"Yeah right" Scoffed Kara

"I lost my husband, Ronnie twice" admitted Caitlin

"Perhaps we should sit down" Suggested Kara

"So … So, what happened?" asked Kara

"I meet Ronnie while working on the Particle Accelerator and we were engaged. He disappeared during the Accelerator Explosion. We later found him, alive. He left to understand his powers. He came back to help us defeated Wells … "Started Caitlin

"Wells?" asked Kara

"That is a story for another time. We had gotten married and shortly after that there was a black hole and Ronnie gave his life to stop it" admitted Caitlin

"How did you get over it?" asked Kara

"I thought that I could bury it, but don't do what I did. Let your friends help you, you are not alone Kara" Stated Caitlin

"Thank you, Caitlin" Stated Kara as she hugged Caitlin


(Earth 38) National City: DEO – Next Day

Caitlin had stayed at Kara's that night, and Barry had crashed at Winn's apartment. Barry was at the DEO ready to fight crime in National. When Kara came in with Caitlin.

"Kara, I heard what happened and I am sorry" Stated Barry

"Thank you, Barry. And I am sorry for what happened to you" Stated Kara

"We will manage" Stated Barry

"Kara" Stated Alex surprised, not expecting Kara to come in

"I am sorry" Stated Kara

"It is not your fault, Kara" Reassured Alex as she hugged Kara

"Not to interrupt this … but I finished Barry's identity and are almost done with Caitlin if you want to come over and help me with the finer details" Stated Winn

"Of course," Stated Caitlin as she walked off with Winn

"So, Barry I guess we are working together now" Stated Kara

"Can you keep up Girl of Steel?" Teased Barry

"I think I can, Fastest Man Alive" Teased Kara and Alex smiled, knowing that Kara was becoming herself again


(Earth 38) National City: Kara's Apartment

Caitlin had gotten a job at L-Corp as a scientist while Barry got a job as a CSI at the NCPD, and Caitlin and Barry had shared an apartment. Both Barry and Caitlin had started to help Kara defend National City, Caitlin and Barry had worked on controlling Caitlin powers and it was working. Currently, it was Kara and Alex in Kara's apartment having a sister night.

"So, it what is going on with you and Barry" Asked Alex curiously

"Nothing, we are just good friends. I may have had a crush on him, after we first meet but I moved on since then" admitted Kara

"What about Caitlin?" asked Alex as Kara blushed

"I mean yeah she is alright" Stated Kara

"Anyway, how is your relationship going with Maggie?" asked Kara as she attempted to change the subject

"She is still not wanting kids, and I do love her. But I want a family someday" admitted Alex

"I am sure it will work out" Stated Kara

"I hope so" Stated Alex


(Earth 38) National City: Barry's Apartment

While Alex and Kara were having a sister's night, Barry and Caitlin were hanging out in their apartment, watching a movie. Caitlin paused the movie and turned to Barry.

"Is everything alright?" asked Barry concerned

"Yeah, I just want to clear the air" Stated Caitlin nervously

"Clear the air?" asked Barry concerned

"It is nothing, bad. I just have something that I want to get off my chest" admitted Caitlin

"Alright" Stated Barry

"Here goes …. When Team Flash got back together after Wells, I developed a crush on you … "Started Caitlin

"You have a crush on me?" asked Barry surprised

"I had one, yes. But since you picked Iris, I moved on" admitted Caitlin

"I had no idea, Caitlin … I was really hung up on Iris wasn't I" Stated Barry

"Yeah, you were" admitted Caitlin


(Earth 38) National City: DEO – a couple of month later

Everyone was at the DEO working on defeating the next villain of the week. Kara was over talking to Winn over by a computer while Barry and Caitlin were in one of the labs overlooking the main area, Caitlin was working on a serum of some kind, when Barry said something.

"It is okay" Stated Barry as Caitlin turned to him

"What is okay?" asked Caitlin confused

"To like Kara" admitted Barry

"Me like Kara no way" Dodged Caitlin as Barry raised an eyebrow

"I don't like her like that in case you were wondering. And you deserve happiness Caitlin after everything that has happened, go for it" Urged Barry

"I don't know" Stated Caitlin skeptically

"If you don't say something than I will" Retorted Barry

"Please don't" Pleaded Caitlin

"Don't dance around each other, Caitlin. Just give it a chance" Tried Barry

"I will think about it" Stated Caitlin


(Earth 38) National City: DEO – a month later

Mon-El came from the future, with some other heroes to stop the Worldkillers, of course Kara did not take it too well that Mon-El was back and promptly fled to her apartment.

"I think that I should go after her" Stated Mon-El

"I think you did enough" Stated Alex

"You act like I had a choice, Alex. If I had stayed, then I would have died" Retorted Mon-El

"What happens when you leave Mon-El? Kara was a mess the first time" Retorted Alex

"Who says that I plan to leave?" Countered Mon-El

"Who says that she wants you" Countered Alex

"And who would she want? Not Lena, Ms. Uptight doctor, or Mr. Reject Superhero" Retorted Mon-el as everyone attention turned to him

"Hey" Interjected Barry

"Do you two think that you compare to me? I understand what Kara has been through and you both do not have a clue. She will always pick me, and you don't matter to her at all" Retorted Mon-el as the temperature in the room dropped

"Is that what you think you overgrown frat boy "Stated a voice coldly as everyone turned to see who said it and it was Frost

"Me and Kara are destined to be together, the incident with Music Meister proved that" Retorted Mon-El

"Caitlin" Tried Barry as he attempted to keep the peace

"Let me deal with this overgrown frat boy, Allen … Or else" Stated Frost coldly as Barry gulped and nodded, not used to seeing Frost this angry

"Now, I am going to say this once to get through your thick skull so I would listen. Firstly, do not ever say that no one does not matter to Kara again. And Secondly, Kara and Kara alone picks who she wants to be with. And Judging on how fast that she ran out of here, I don't think you have a very good chance" Explained Frost

"She must be confused; we have been through so much together" Retorted Mon-El

"What? Her planet's destruction? So, she should get with you because her planet was destroyed? What nonsense, she has been on this planet longer than Krypton" Retorted Killer Frost

"Oh, and you have a say? You are not even from this Earth" Retorted Mon-El

"I have much more of a say than" Retorted Frost

"Maybe, we should just calm down" Tried Alex

"No, I am not letting her get with Kara" Retorted Mon-El

"And what is wrong with me?" Dared Frost

"I wouldn't go there" Explained Barry

"You may have powers, but Kara will never love you. She will never notice you, plus you aren't that good looking" Stated Mon-El as Frost was standing there absolute furious

"Oh boy" Whispered Barry, knowing that it just got way worse, and he was right as he saw someone enter the room

"Do you know what I used to be called?" asked Frost as she approached Mon-El

"I could care less" Stated Mon-El

"They called my Killer Frost, care to find out why" Stated Frost

"You can not hurt me" Retorted Mon-El

"Can't I" Dared Frost

"Go ahead" Scoffed Mon-El

"Enough" Stated J'onn as he and Kara entered the room

"She" Tried Mon-El

"Don't even try it Frat boy" Dared Frost

"We got Worldkillers to stop, and we can not argue between ourselves" Stated J'onn as Mon-El and Frost nodded before leaving with Kara following behind them, leaving only Alex and Barry

"Why didn't you stop it?" asked Alex

"I know better to get in front of an angry Frost, last time it didn't end well" admitted Barry

"And you know why she was like that?" asked Alex

"Isn't it kind of obvious" Suggested Barry

"Oh, I picked up on it. I was wondering if you knew" Stated Alex

"Sure" Stated Barry

"I was the first to know" Argued Alex

"Hmm, I think I was." Retorted Barry as Maggie entered the room

"We got something out here" Stated Maggie

"Coming" Stated Alex


(Earth 38) National City: DEO Rooftop

Frost had gone up to the rooftop as to not endanger the Frat Boy right now. She gave control back to Caitlin as Caitlin was going back inside, Kara came outside.

"Are you okay?" asked Kara concerned

"Yeah, everything is fine" Stated Caitlin a little too fast

"I was wondering what that was back there" Stated Kara

"Mon-El was just aggravating me" admitted Caitlin

"I saw that, what did he say?" asked Kara

"He said that you two belonged together and that you don't care about anyone else" Stated Caitlin

"Don't believe him, I care about all of you …. Anything else?" asked Kara

"Well … "Started Caitlin as she thought about if she was going to tell Kara this

"You can tell me anything, Caitlin" Reassured Kara as Caitlin bit her lip

"He … He said that there was no way that he was going to …. Let me get with you" Shared Caitlin nervously as Kara went wide-eyed

"I know I should have told you" stated Caitlin as she started to walk off

"Wait … you like me?" asked Kara

"I do" admitted Caitlin nervously

"I like you too … do you want to go out a date some time?" admitted Kara

"I would love that" Stated Caitlin with a smile


(Earth 38) National City: DEO – a few days later

Kara and Caitlin had gone out a date, leaving the others to track down one of the world killers, Reign, who they had tracked to a party going on at L-Corp. It was already decided that Alex was going to go, they were still deciding who was going with her.

"So, who is going to this party?" asked J'onn

"I got to be here to run the scans" Dodged Winn

"I will go" Offered Mon-El

"No, I am not going with you. I am going with Maggie" Stated Alex

"I wouldn't suggest that you should go in with someone with powers. Just in case" Suggested J'onn

"I can take care of myself" Argued Alex

"I have no doubt about that, my concern is the Worldkillers that could affect you with a plague" Countered J'onn

"J'onn is right, better safe than sorry" Shared Maggie

"Fine, then I chose Barry" Stated Alex

"Was I your last pick?" Teased Barry

"No, you are better than Frat Boy" Stated Alex

"Hey" Stated Mon-El as he was ignored

"The party is an hour, better get ready" Stated J'onn


(Earth 38) National City: L-Corp Party

Alex and Barry had gotten ready and got to the party, got inside with their invitations.

"You didn't tell me that it was an L-Corp party" Whispered Barry as they were entering

"I thought that you knew" Whispered Alex back

"Alex, it is good to see you here. And who is your date?" Greeted Lena as she came up to Alex and Barry

"Barry Allen" Introduced Barry

"Lena Luthor, I would have thought that you brought Maggie" Stated Lena

"Well, me and Maggie broke up last week. And Barry offered to come instead" Stated Alex

"Well you two look like a good couple. If you excuse me, I need to greet some more people" Stated Lena as she walked off

"Not a word, Barry" Threatened Alex

"I wasn't going to say anything" Retorted Barry

"Of course, you weren't" Stated Alex sarcastically


(Earth 38) National City: L-Corp Party – a little while later

The Party was going great, and there was no sign of Reign so far.

"How about we go on the dance floor" Offered Barry

"What?" asked Alex surprised

"It would give Winn a better signal of the room" Offered Barry

"Fine but no funny business" Stated Alex

"Of course," Stated Barry as they got on the dance floor and started dancing and a few minutes there was a crash in the window and Reign entered the room

"None of you are going to survive" Stated Reign

"She is here" Whispered Alex into her comms and Barry managed to get out of the crowd, and returned in his suit

"Reign" Called out Barry

"Flash" Stated Reign as everyone started to run out of the room, with Alex hanging back

"I am sorry to say that you are not going to survive this" Stated Reign as they prepared to fight with Barry zooming around in an attempt to throw lightning at Reign as she used her frost breath to slow him down before hitting him across the room as she hit him with one of her attacks causing for him to get infected with a disease

"Flash" Exclaimed Alex as Reign turned to her, and just as Reign was about to attack her, she was hit across the room and Alex looked to see it was Mon-El, J'onn and Superman

"Take him and get out of here" Stated Superman as Alex nodded and rushed over to Barry and with the help of J'onn got Barry out of there as Mon-El and Superman fought Reign


(Earth 38) National City: DEO

J'onn had brought Barry back to Star Labs where Alex put on a hazmat suit and started working on what Reign had affected Barry with. When Superman and Mon-El had brought back Reign and managed to lock her in a cell.

"Thank you for your help, Clark" Stated Alex

"It was no problem, but was expecting Kara to be here" Stated Clark

"She had a date tonight, so we covered for her" admitted Alex

"So, what is going on between you and Barry?" asked Clark curiously

"Nothing" Admitted Alex a little too fast

"Maybe you should give us a minute" Stated J'onn as he walked up, and Clark nodded before walking off

"You know what I am going to say" Stated J'onn

"I don't like him, and I am happy with Maggie" Retorted Alex

"I can tell you haven't been as happy as you have been" Stated J'onn as he walked off, leaving Alex to think on that, as someone else heard it also walked away with something to think about


(Earth 38) National City: DEO – next morning

Kara had come to the DEO the next morning, after her date with Caitlin. Kara looked around and could not see either Barry or Alex, but she spotted Winn and walked over to him.

"Hey, Winn. Have you seen Barry or Alex around?" asked Kara

"Hey Kara, I assume you didn't hear the news last night" Asked Winn

"Is everything alright?" asked Kara concerned

"We went through the operation last night, and managed to capture Reign … "started Winn

"Then where is Barry and Alex" Asked Kara

"Barry got infected by Reign, but he is okay right now. He is in the Medbay recovering" Reassured Winn

"And Alex?" asked Kara

"She is fine too, as soon as Barry was cured, she was out of here. I do not know where she is" admitted Winn

"She is fine, Kara." Reassured J'onn as she walked up

"So, Kara how did your date go?" asked Winn

"It went great, we have another one next week" Stated Kara as she smiled


(Earth 38) National City: Alex's apartment – later that night

Maggie had called Alex and asked to meet her at Alex's apartment that night. Alex had no idea what it was about but when she walked in, she saw Maggie pacing around the room.

"Is everything alright?" asked Alex concerned as Maggie stopped pacing and turned to Alex

"I need you to be honest, Alex do you love me?" Asked Maggie

"Of course, I do" Argued Alex

"Are you sure?" Probed Maggie

"I do, Maggie … What is this about?" asked Alex

"I see the way that you look at Barry" Stated Maggie

"It doesn't mean anything" Argued Alex

"Alex, please stop lying to yourself. I see how you look at him, and it is okay" Stated Maggie

"What?" asked Alex shocked

"I saw how you two acted at the party and when he got hurt" Revealed Maggie

"We were undercover and of course I would be upset that he got hurt, he is my friend" Argued Alex

"I can tell you love him, maybe more than you do me" Revealed Maggie

"Maggie" Started Alex as she started to cry

"No, it is okay, I know that he likes you too. Maybe he can give you the Family that you want. I am sorry Alex, but it is over" Explained Maggie as she walked out, leaving Alex alone in the apartment


(Earth 38) National City: Alex's apartment – an hour later

Alex was sitting on the couch, thinking about what to do. When she heard the door open and saw the last person she wanted to see right now, walking through the door.

"What are you doing here?" asked Alex hostility

"Maggie suggested that I check up on you" Stated the visitor

"I don't need your help, Barry. And shouldn't you be resting" Retorted Alex

"I feel fine, and Maggie said that something was wrong" Stated Barry

"Do you want to know what is wrong? Maggie broke up with me because of you" Exclaimed Alex as Barry was speechless

"And I bet that you wanted it to happen" Exclaimed Alex

"Hang on a second, I never asked for this Alex" Argued Barry

"Then why are you here, Barry" Retorted Alex

"Because a friend needs my help" Stated Barry

"Do you like me?" Asked Alex

"I do, but I that is not why I am here. I am here to support you. If you want to try in the future we can, but not when you are hurting" Reassured Barry

"Alright" Stated Alex

"So, I know that you and Kara have this tradition of watching a crappy movie and eating some Ice Cream, how does that sound?" offered Barry

"Yeah, let's do that" Stated Alex


(Earth 38) National City: DEO – A Year later

Everything was going normal at the DEO, when suddenly a breach opened and Iris, Cisco, and Oliver came through into the main area of the DEO.

"Oliver, what are you doing here?" asked Kara as she came up to them

"It is good to see you, Kara. I was wondering if Barry and Caitlin were around" Stated Oliver as Kara tensed

"They are around" Stated Kara vaguely

"Can you put us in their direction?" asked Cisco

"They are a bit … busy right now." Stated Kara

"I am sure that they can't be that busy" Stated Iris and just as Kara was about to respond, Alex and Winn came over

"They should be on their way back now" Stated Alex as Oliver cleared his throat

"Right. Alex, Winn. This is Oliver, Cisco, and Iris. Guys this is Winn and my sister Alex" Introduced Kara

"It is a pleasure" Stated Winn

"What he said" Stated Alex

"So where are Barry and Caitlin?" asked Oliver as he attempted to get the conversation back on track as Winn turned to Kara

"They should be back …. Soon" Stated Kara as a flash was heard and Barry was standing there in his Flash costume with Caitlin in her own costume as well

"We found …. I see we have guests" Stated Barry as he noticed the others

"Barry" Stated Iris tense

"It is good to see you, Oliver" Stated Barry as he ignored Iris as Oliver got close and decked him

"What was that for?" Stated Alex angrily

"For abandoning Central City for Caitlin" Retorted Oliver

"I don't know what they told you … "Started Barry as he started to get back up

"We told the truth" Retorted Iris as both Caitlin, Kara and Alex are glared at her

"They wanted to kick Caitlin off the team, I didn't think that she deserved it. So, I backed Caitlin" Started Barry

"But she tried to kill me" Interrupted Iris

"I have my powers under control now, and I will have you know that me and Barry are not dating" Revealed Caitlin

"Oh please, Caitlin we all know that you love Barry" Retorted Cisco

"I am dating someone else" Revealed Caitlin

"Then you can stay here, come on Barry" Stated Iris

"I am staying here" Revealed Barry

"Barry, you have Central city to worry about." Argued Oliver

"Central City has been fine for the year I have been gone" Retorted Barry

"Come on Barry, come back for me. We can get back together" Tried Iris

"I have moved on" Revealed Barry as he went go stand by Alex

"I don't believe it; we are destined to get married" Retorted Iris

"Well, I think that changed when you sent him here" Remarked Alex

"Who are you to join in this conversation" Remarked Cisco

"I am Barry's girlfriend" Retorted Alex

"What?" Stated Iris surprised

"We have been dating for about six months now" admitted Barry

"And I guess that you are dating, Caitlin" Retorted Iris as she turned on Winn

"Me? No" Stated Winn

"I am dating, Caitlin. And if you have a problem with that you can leave" Revealed Kara

"Barry?" asked Oliver as he turned to him

"Sorry, Oliver. I am staying here" Stated Barry as Oliver nodded

"You can't stay here" Argued Iris

"Well, you sent me here in the first place. And secondly I can make my own decisions and my decision is to stay here with my Girlfriend" Retorted Barry

"When you change your mind, I might take you back" Stated Iris as she, Cisco walked towards a breach that Cisco happened

"I am happy for you both, and sorry for assuming Barry" Stated Oliver

"Thanks Oliver" Stated Barry as they hugged before Oliver went through the breach as it closed

"Well I guess that it is over" Stated Winn

"Yeah … how about a date tonight Caitlin?" asked Kara

"I would love that" Stated Caitlin
