Part 45

Earth-38

Alex took a deep breath before knocking on Kara's door. She had put this conversation off long enough. But she had to tell her sister what she had done. The door opened to reveal Mon-El.

"Hey Alex is something wrong?" asked Mon-El

"Is Kara home?"

"Yeah she is taking a shower. Why?"

"There is something that I should have told her a couple months ago. Right after Caitlin went home in fact."

Kara came out just then dressed only in her robe.

"Hey Alex did we have plans I forgot about?" asked Kara

"No. Um remember when Caitlin was here?" asked Alex

"Yeah. She helped us stop Rhea and saved Mon-El." Said Kara

"Right. I gave her something that I hope you won't be too angry about."

"Alex just spit it out."

"Ok she thinks that her friend the one that made that device that lets you travel to her Earth and back can make something to protect you from kryptonite better than the shield Winn made. So I gave her a small piece of kryptonite." Said Alex

"Why do you think I would be mad about that? I trust Caitlin. I know that she won't use it to hurt me or Kal. Her friend Cisco is the one that she was going to have work on this is not going to hurt me either. Alex while I wish you had told me sooner or even Caitlin had told me I am not upset." Said Kara

"I am glad that you are not mad at me. But some how I don't think that Clark is going to be as understanding. You know how he is about J'onn having kryptonite at the DEO."

"I know but if Cisco can improve on that shield then Kal will get over it. Besides we both know that Lois will keep him in line."

"True. Now have we had any luck locating Argo?"

"Well Caitlin didn't have much other then it is out there. So it is going to take time."

"Maybe I will go see Caitlin tomorrow and see if she knows any more. Besides I want to see how she is doing."

"Why she was fine when you left right?" asked Mon-El

"Oh Rao! I forgot to tell before I came back after taking her, her stuff and getting Barry out of the speed force. Caitlin is pregnant." Said Kara

"Pregnant? So she was pregnant when she was here?" asked Alex

"She didn't know when she helped fight Rhea." Said Kara

"Yeah that I understand. I just hope that she isn't fighting crime back home."

"Alex, Caitlin is too smart for that. Besides Barry wouldn't let her. Even if it took locking her in their secret meta prison in the basement of Star Labs their base."

"Yeah I could see that going well for Barry."

"More then likely she would give him a mild case of hypothermia. Nothing that would actually hurt him."

"I wouldn't think so. Would you mind if I go with you? I really want to meet this friend Barry of yours."

"Sure. I mean when he first came here he was kind of disappointed he didn't get to meet you. That was when you and J'onn were on the run."

"He helped you with Livewire and Sliver Banshee."

"Yeah. Alex be here at ten in the morning we will leave then."

"No problem."


Caitlin walked into Cisco's lab the next morning carrying a travel mug of wild berry tea she had brought from home.

"Hey Cisco how is that project I asked you for coming?" asked Caitlin

"Just about done. I did add one other thing. This will not only protect Kara and her cousin from kryptonite but every other kind of known radiation. Just to be safe."

"You are the best Cisco."

"You know how you can show your appreciation? Name one of those three bundles of joy after their Uncle Cisco."

"Not going to happen. Besides we don't even know what gender the babies are going to be. It is still a little early to tell for sure."

"At least think about it."

"Fine. But right now it will be kind of low on the list."

"At least it is on the list now. So why you come down to hang with me? Shouldn't you be helping your mom run tests on Barbara?"

"My mom is doing a bunch of X-rays. So I needed to clear out. That kind of radiation is not good for the babies. Why do you think the person doing it wears a lead vest and stands behind a shield."

"So your mom kicked you out of one of your own labs until she is done."

"Yeah. But I totally understand the reason. I mean she did it because she loves me."

Just then the breach alarm went off. Cisco took off running for the breach room. Caitlin just rolled her eyes after checking the security feed and followed much slower seeing it was just some friends.


Riverside psychiatric hospital

Iris sat in the group that she had been assigned for therapy. Not that she believed she needed it. She knew that she wasn't crazy. Caitlin Snow was a danger to everyone. Not that anyone believed her. She rolled her eyes as some girl went on about why she wanted to kill herself.

"Iris, do you have anything to say Linda?" asked the doctor

"No. I don't need to be here. I should be home trying to save the man I love from an ice witch." Said Iris

"Yeah sounds to me you are obsessed to me." Mumbled Linda

"I am not obsessed. I just know that I am right. I am getting out of here and I will take care of that bitch once and for all."

"Iris, until I feel that you are no longer a threat to yourself or anyone else you will not be leaving." Said the doctor

"You can't keep me here." Said Iris

"Iris, you are here by the order of the court. So there fore I can. The rest of you go. Iris and I are going to talk more."

The five other members of the group left leaving Iris with the doctor. Once they were alone the doctor hit the button on a pen like device he took from his pocket.

"Miss West, I see that you survived your encounter with Savitar. Though if not for that idiot doppleganger of Harrison Wells from Earth-19 and Dr. Snow you would be six feet under and Barry Allen would be a broken man. Dr. Snow avoided her destiny of becoming Killer Frost. I just don't know how." Said the man who was posing as a doctor.

"You look familiar." Said Iris

"I would hope so. I am a distance relative of your late fiance Eddie Thawne."

Iris realized who she was facing. The blue eyed blond man was Eobard Thawne. The Reverse Flash.

"Eobard Thawne. I thought you were erased when Eddie killed himself?"

"Time travel is a tricky thing. Every time a speedster time travels they leave a remnant behind. It is the way the speed force keeps the balance. Though I have my own speed force only unlike the one Barry, Wally and Jesse use it is a bit negative. Last year your idiot time traveling friends thought they beat me. But it was only a time remnant I had already moved on to the next part of my plans. Miss West, I will help you get Dr. Snow and her offspring out of the way. But after you get Barry to knock you up I get to kill him."

"We have a deal."

"You just have to sit tight for a little while. Pretend that you are giving up on killing Caitlin Snow."

"I can do that."

Thawne grinned. Iris may think that they were partners but once her usefulness was done she will get a vibrating hand to the heart.


Bet none of you saw that twist coming. Thawne in this is one one played by Matt Letscher. I was inspired to bring him in while rewatching season 2 of Legends of Tomorrow.
