A/N: I don't have a right start for the story, so don't mind me, just jumping right into action, and this is my first ever fan fiction or attempting to write one, I'm able to get some really cool ideas, just need a beta-tester for me to check my writing, and grammar even tho I have read multiple stories, my describing of things a!nd the usage of words isn't the best, and if I'm able to get a beta-tester than that would be a whole lot better. I'm also aiming for around 40-50k words, and multiple chapters, this is just a short one to see what others think about it, and will then start posting 5k words per week, so like per Flash episode and more, so I can keep my vibes up and my ideas coming, Enjwoyy!

*Frost talking to Caitlin*

Frost/Caitlin P.O.V:

"Yo," Barry said while looking at weird images hanging from the monitors, "what did you put in those painkillers?" he asked Frost, "Oh your not hallucinating, that is art, and some people might think it's weird but I think it's a beautiful expression of the artist's inner life, even if it's a weird inner-life" Frost said while looking at the paintings, Barry was now confused, "but how did you buy all of these stuff?" "by using Caity's credit card, all of them" everyone looked at her with confused and shocked expressions, Ralph was the first to speak up "um maybe our next lesson will be in financial".

"Actually I got one more piece to add to the bunch, from a very daring young talent," Cisco says with his cute grin Frost looks at the picture and was on a bridge of tears when seeing her first-ever painting. "I think it ties the room nicely"

Barry looked surprised at the other side of Caitlin, he thought it might be dark but it turns out she's pretty funny and cool, he started laughing, but after a while, his mind caught up with the recent events that he saw, and how he might not live another day to see the team all together laughing, with the upcoming crisis.

Frost seemed to pick up on his sudden change of mood but decided not to question it.

Caitlin/Frost P.O.V

Caitlin's House, 8:00 AM

Frost was getting ready to go to bed when she felt Caitlin suddenly talking with her in her mind, "Awh, it's only been a day or two, and you already want control back?" Frost said while looking disappointed.

"no-no, that's not what I was going to talk to you about," Caitlin said.

"oh what is it then?" Frost said while looking mildly curious, "It's about Barry" Caitlin said, and Frost looked a bit taken back by her subject of interest but continued the conversation never-the-less, "uh- what about him?" Frost said while looking confused why would her other half be asking about Barry, "when we were talking earlier about the paintings, didn't you notice Barry's face frown a little? and looked like he was in deep thought" Caitlin asked.

Frost remembered that very clearly. "It's probably because of ultra-wave or something, I'm sure it's nothing because Barry is quite strong Y'know," Frost said while remembering how many difficulties Barry has been through, and defeated them all, and how he stayed strong and determined, under horrible circumstances, and the things that he was able to handle with her and Caitlin.

"Yeah but I have a bad gut feeling that there's something wrong with Barry because he normally keeps his emotions for himself, and doesn't share it with anyone but Iris," Caitlin said.

Frost could feel the hurt and another type of feeling that she couldn't practically make out that Caitlin was going feeling.

"well, let's go Dibny 2.0 tomorrow and see what our very emotional speedster is going through, but now can you please let me go sleep? living life makes you tired" Frost said, feeling very exhausted, she started putting her night pajamas on and hopped into bed, "Goodnight Caity". "Goodnight Frost".

Caitlin/Frost P.O.V

Caitlin's House, 6:00 PM

"mmm" Frost started stretching out after a good night's sleep that left her pretty exhausted, but now she feels like a brand newborn baby. "Morning Caity", "Morning Frost. what are you up to today?" Caitlin said.

Frost could feel that she was giggling mentally, "Uhm, nothing much, just listening to Lady Gaga and talking to our emotional speedster that you won't stop bugging me about" Frost said while she got up, and played lady gaga - song on her phone, and went to the bathroom to start brushing her teeth.

"You know, that song was the song that we used to wake Barry up from his nine-month coma, I'm pretty surprised that you are playing the same song, even tho you don't know it or heard it before?" Caitlin said while being somewhat confused and surprised by her other half's taste of music.

"Oh, no this is the second time, I really like her music and style, and it's pretty cool that our emotional speedster likes lady gaga like I do, I'm starting to like him" Frost said while she finished brushing her teeth and was starting to take off her clothes to get ready for the day.

"Oh, Frost likes someone? that's new, never thought you're the emotional type of girl, but oh well" Caitlin said while feeling mentally exhausted for the upcoming day.

"huh, what? I said like him as in friends, nothing romantic. so why don't you stay in your cage and stop talking while I get ready to go to S.T.A.R Labs?" Frost said, her blush would be noticeable if her skin wasn't white and very cold.

"Sure... Not in a romantic way" and with that they headed off in Caity's car to S.T.A.R Labs.

Caitlin/Frost P.O.V

S.T.A.R Labs

Frost was walking towards the cortex when she heard a distant voice coming from the speed lab, so she decided to sneak up and see who's in there. she started walking softly so she cannot get caught until she was near the speed lab, and she looked through the window, that's when she saw Barry sitting on the treadmill talking to himself and have tears stained on his face.

she was about to leave when Caitlin suddenly said "Stay, we might be able to know what and why he's crying, just stand next to the door and listen to what he's saying" Caitlin said while feeling very uneasy and worried to see Barry in this way, so frost just shrugged and complied.

when she was near the door she heard Barry saying "The future loves to have a go at me, every time something is started to look good, destiny just says no, no happiness for the flash, I guess that's one of the benefits for being a superhero." Barry said sarcastically. "I will miss iris, we might not have another Nora, which will sure depress her a lot."

"Hey frost, let's check in on Barry, he seems so depressed, and what does he mean "I will miss iris" it's like he's going to die or something." "Okay, sure." frost responded opening the door slowly. "Hello there, what are you up to?" frost said, and Caitlin saw Barry try to hide his tear stains, so she decided to take over.

"Barry, what's wrong? why are you crying?" she asked worriedly and hugged him softly, very much enjoying how they melted together, and the warmth they were sharing. and he returned the gesture with equal force.

"Mmh? nothing, nothing's wrong, It's probably just salt in my eyes" Barry lied, trying to change subjects, "so what are you up to today?" Barry asked.

"Barry, can you please tell me what's wrong? I know when you're okay and when you're not, we've been friends for over six years, you can talk to me, if you don't want to that's also okay." Caitlin said, while she doesn't like the look on his face, she doesn't wanna push him or force him into talking to her if it's something personal.

Barry started rubbing the back of his head like he usually does when he's nervous "where do I start." Barry asked himself more than anyone else. "from the beginning" Caitlin smiled softly.

"Yesterday we were checking the time vault when the monitor suddenly appears from nowhere and says to get ready for the upcoming crisis" Barry was about to continue when he was interrupted by Caitlin "but isn't the crisis supposed to be 5 years from now or something?"
Caitlin asked. "Yeah, but it decided to come early because fate just loves me, it's going to take place on December 10th, 2019".

Caitlin jaws were fully-gaping, and she put a hand over her mouth."You mean, you're going to vanish in t-two-months?" she was shaking at this point and hugged Barry tightly, she didn't want to lose him because she already lost someone she cared about, but losing Barry will destroy her completely, for the countless times he had helped her through with her loss, and opening up. "h-he's probably lying". Caitlin said hoping that this isn't true, Barry won't leave her.

Barry returned the hug, and held just as tightly, and there were tears threatening to spill from his eyes, "That's the bad part, he's not, I was able to make my mind travel through the future, because I wasn't able to get through the anti-matter barrier using my speed, so I went to Earth-3 to get help from jay, and my mom's doppelganger, I ended up seeing billions of possible futures, and different timelines, and there wasn't one where the flash lives, if I don't sacrifice myself, the universe is gonna collapse, and there won't be life on any earth." Barry said, while he hoped there was another way, he wasn't sure if there is any other possibilities of his survival."

"N-no p-please, I can't risk losing you too, I lost someone I cared about, and I can't lose you too, I can't survive if I lose you, you're like a brother to me, you helped me open up after R-ronnie's death... you made me smile again..." she was struggling to get words out, but she needed to tell him the truth. "without you I would've become a killer, you got through me when I was trapped in frost's body, you helped me save my family, and to reunite once before it ended." she couldn't stop thinking about how his death is near, and he can't do anything to save himself.

"Shh..." he was trying to calm her down while he held her tightly, after what she told him made him feel really guilty that he never noticed how much he meant to Caitlin, and that he wasn't taking care of her like he used to do in the early days, where they will share every secret, and hide nothing.

"Promise that you won't leave me" Caitlin looked up in his eyes looking for an answer, but when she did, she didn't find one and started hugging him tightly again, hoping that if she hugged him tighter, he won't leave her again, and Barry returned the hug with as much force.

After a couple of minutes, he looked down and saw that Caitlin was now sleeping so he decided not to wake her up, instead he gently lifted her, and lied her down on a comfortable sofa, he could have probably flashed her home, but that would've woken her up, and he would have done anything to prevent anyone from disturbing her sleep, so he flashed over to his house and brought her a pillow and a blanket, he lifted her head gently and put a pillow under it, and then he put the blanket on her covering her from head-to-toe so she doesn't get cold, he bent down and kissed her forehead gently, she smiled back in response.

he started walking away softly so she doesn't wake up, when he reached the door, he looked back at her, and whispered. "I wish I could stop what's coming" he smiled sadly at her, knowing she might not be able to handle his death. and with that, he flashed back home.
