A/N Don't have much to say! Just that I'm writing this in SRT at school! And not letting my friend see what I am working on. *fanfiction is my guilty pleasure*
I expected to finish this at school (in that SRT), but then I procrastinated for a...month? Ya' know when I said I was paying extra attention to my YT channel...I kinda rejected that too...even tho my time is filled with making videos, playing guitar and piano, and reading fanfiction. Hehehe….here is the story! Please review! I love hearing from you!
Caitlin's POV
She was pushed out of her hiding and forced to face the world. She didn't know where she was as her hair turned from white to brown. The first thing she focused on was the man in front of her. His expression was a mixture of anxiousness, concern, and...love? Friendly love, right?
"What am I doing here, Barry?" She asked in annoyance.
"Hey, Cait," he hesitantly started. Suddenly nerves were added to the emotion mixture. "Frost and I have something to tell you," he informed after a deep breath of confidence.
"You and...Frost?" She drawled with a hint of disbelief.
"I know, right?" A chilling voice echoed in her head. The liquid that Frost ingested to change her voice was only in effect in her physical form.
"Well, what is it?" She probed the man and the voice in her head.
"Uh...Frost, you explain. I'll get...you know," Barry stammered and walked away.
Before Caitlin could follow, the voice stopped her. "Coward," it said in teased irritation. "You remember when we were pregnant," she stated, not waiting for a response. "I never gave it up for adoption. I kept Charlie," she blurted. There was no reaction. "Caity?"
"That explains a lot," Caitlin responded in a neutral tone. She put up a mental block so Frost couldn't read the doctor's mind.
"That's a good boy!" Barry's voice was faintly heard, but a little boy's laughter got louder as they approached. Soon they emerged and the little boy ran towards his mother.
"Mommy!" He said excitedly while he wrapped his arms around her legs. When he pulled away to allow her to bend down, he observed, "you look different."
Laughing breathily, Caitlin let her tears spill. "Charlie," she whispered happily and stroked his cheek. She was overcome with maternal feelings as she repeated his name again.
Charlie was confused at his mother's composure. "Why are you crying? Are you sad? Don't be sad!" The two-year-old tried to understand.
"Oh, Charlie, I'm the opposite of sad. I'm super happy!" She assured her little boy.
He smiled knowing his mom was okay. "Can I go see Uncle Norvak now? You promised I'd see him soon!"
The name of Amunet Black's former henchman alarmed the doctor. "Wait! What? Frost!"
"I let Norvak look after Charlie while I was...gone. Don't worry! He's fine. The two of them clicked pretty fast." The voice defended.
This didn't comfort the doctor, though. "I don't want my son to be around that creepy henchman!"
A question, "who is she talking to?" interrupted her conversation. Charlie was now at Barry's legs looking weirded out by the strange behavior from his mother.
"Your mother has two...people...in her head. That's why she looks different right now. This is the other person. Her name is Caitlin," Barry tried his best to explain the complex predicament that is Caitlin and Frost. The person of the predicament did her best not to chuckle as she observed. "Your mom and Caitlin can talk to each other, but your mom is talking to Caitlin in her head." The two-year-old still looked very confused but accepted the answer despite his curiosity.
"So...I have two mommys in one?" Charlie wanted to have some sense of understanding.
Barry chuckled sympathetically, "yeah." The speedster patted his son's back then looked at Caitlin. "I can run him to Norvak if you want."
"I don't want my...son...around that man!" Caitlin rejected the idea.
Charlie pouted, "but you promised! Or...I mean...mom did…" He was smart for a two-year-old.
Barry looked conflicted. "I don't trust the guy either, but I trust Frost; she seems to trust him. And if Norvak took care of this little guy, he can't be all that bad."
Caitlin thought for a moment. "Fine," she relented.
Charlie ran up and wrapped his arms around his mother saying, "thank you!" Caitlin and Barry chuckled at his cuteness.
"I'll run him," Barry smiled as he picked up the tiny human.
Caitlin nodded and smiled when she saw the lightning trail out of the room. "Now for you, Frost." The woman in question groaned at her counterpart's creepily cheerful mood. "Why didn't you tell me about our son? I understand when we were still fighting each other, but why not when I got you back? When we were finally on good terms?"
"I was afraid you'd want to give him away again. I want to keep him," Frost explained.
"Well, I'm not going to give him away now. I mean, Barry wouldn't want me to do that. Why did you want to keep Charlie so bad? I didn't take you as the mother type back then." Caitlin wasn't mad at this point, just curious. However, she was met with silence. "Frost? Anyone home?"
"Because…" she started. "I needed something from Savitar. I missed him. I...I…"
"Loved him?" Caitlin finished with solace.
"Loved who?" A masculine voice said behind her.
The unexpected person caused Caitlin to scream in surprise and partly fear. She turned and drew in a sigh of relief. "Barry," she said scolding, "you scared me!" Her glowing white eyes turned back to brown as the speedster comfortingly rubbed her arms at her sides.
"Sorry," he said sheepishly.
"I was just talking to Frost about...things," Caitlin informed as she instinctively leaned into Barry's touch.
"Savitar?" Barry guessed.
A surprised doctor gawked at the correct answer. "Psychic?" She accused.
"No, just your average, city-saving, superhero speedster!" Barry confirmed.
Caitlin giggled at her speedster's cockiness. Hers? Why'd she think that? "But seriously," she managed through her dying giggles, "how'd you know?"
"I put two and two together since you said 'loved him'," Barry explained. Caitlin still had a questioning look on her face. "I mean, they had a kid together. I don't think Frost would get in bed with just anyone unless she loved them." Barry's serious face turned into another cocky grin. "Plus, he had my face! Aren't I irresistible?"
Caitlin scrunched her nose in thought as she 'inspected' the hero's head. "Maybe…" she drawled her conclusion. Barry held his heart in offense causing Caitlin to giggle. "And he had half your face."
"I can hear you, ya' know," a voice inside the doctor's head announced in annoyance.
"Well, then enlighten us!" Caitlin suggested, mouthing that she was talking to Frost to a confused Scarlet Speedster.
Suddenly, the scientist's vision was overlaid with an icy glaze and everything had a hint of sharpness to it. The words that came out of her mouth didn't belong to her and her body didn't listen to her.
"You really want to know why I made love with a psychotic god-wanna-be speedster?" Frost said, however, it wasn't a chilling voice and it wasn't in the bioengineer's head.
Caitlin could see Barry nod with earnest eyes. After a few nervous moments, Caitlin could feel her mouth about to open, but the intercom stopped her.
As a woman's voice crackled, "Barry? I'm in the cortex! I've been looking for you! I need to talk to you!" Caitlin was pushed to control again. Barry, who looked in the direction of the speaker, turned his head back to his physician. He looked partly guilty and sad.
"I guess I have to go, then," he said sheepishly with hesitance. Even though there was another who needed him, the hero stayed looking at the woman he was currently with.
A few minutes passed before Caitlin broke the thick tension, "I'll meet you up there, then."
Barry nodded, turned, then sped out of the room. The doctor soon followed and pondered the feelings that fluttered in that room.
A/N Alrighty! The next chapters (have no idea when will be done) will go along with the episodes! I would love some ideas, by the way! I start something and by the middle of it, I get writer's block. *So annoying* I would love some ideas of how to incorporate the episodes with this story and add some OG Team Flash and snowbarrisco action!
