UPDATE: Fixed the Grammar in the last part and responded to some reviews. for story updates and to hang out with me, check out my Twitter: snowfiake_write

A/N: Hello peeps, This is chapter two as promised, I just wanted to say sorry for the West-Allen cringe part, I didn't want to do it, but I had to because I wasn't looking to push the characters straight into each other, just progressing slowly, there will be more West-Allen scenes, but I will make it up with snowbarry moments.

I have pretty good snowbarry ideas conjuring up, and it hopefully will take over West-Allen as it should, and btw, if you don't like the idea, just type a simple review, I wanna make this story as best as I possibly can, still no beta-tester tho, that's a bit sad, but any type of reviews are appreciated, I will also post like reviews/comments at the end of each chapter like responding to others, just a cool thing to do. Enjwoyy! oh and *Frost talking to Caitlin* *Caitlin talking to Frost* one last thing

I do not own the flash.

Barry's House.

Barry was back from S.T.A.R Labs and sat on his sofa, he felt way better since he was able to open up to someone, without having pep talks like Iris always gives him most of the time, but like a normal brother-sister conversation with Caitlin.

he was still guilty about how he didn't notice how Caitlin treated him in the past, nor how much he meant to her. Barry added a mental note to make it up to Caitlin, but he didn't know how.

the one thing that she said kept ringing in his mind, "You helped me open up after R-Ronnie's death... you made me smile again...", he remembered how she wasn't smiling at all when they first met, and after he captured his first metahuman, well not captured, more like shot him in the back, he remembered when she smiled and congratulated him on his success.

and when they went to that karaoke bar that one time, she saw her when she fully let her guard down, and started singing and laughing, and he remembered when she asked him to stay with her until she sleeps. he smiled inwardly at that memory.

"Barry.. hey Barry?" Iris was snapping her fingers in front of his face.

Barry snapped out of his thoughts quickly. "Oh, sorry, I was just thinking..." Barry said, he didn't want to tell her that he told Caitlin about the monitor, he didn't know why he was trying to keep that secret, considering that he never kept anything from Iris.

"Yeah I know, you can't stop thinking about how you are gonna vanish, but it's okay, let's have hope because when everything else is lost, someone could only hope," Iris said trying to cheer him up, but she didn't know that he was thinking about the crisis, he was more thinking about Caitlin than anything on his mind right now.

"Thanks" Barry said, leant forward to hug Iris, but when he did, he didn't feel any type of emotion, no love, no nothing, which confused him but decided to keep that secret to himself, he doesn't want to break her heart now that he might not be able to see her after a period of time.

"Hey, on the bright side I made orange chicken with wilted spinach salad, it's very tasty, you should go try it out," Iris said confident of her cooking skills, she stood up, intertwined her fingers with Barry's, and started walking towards the table.

Barry was smiling... 'food finally' he thought to himself until he reached the kitchen, and he saw a very white looking piece of chicken and was feeling all sorts of disgusting emotions. 'did she try warming it up instead of cooking it?' he thought to himself, and the "spinach salad" was just lettuce.

"Yeah, uh..." Barry started rubbing the back of his head thinking of a way to decline dinner without sounding mean. "I actually had dinner with Cisco and Caitlin, and I was really tired having defeated ultra-wave... so I'm just gonna go sleep now." Barry tried to sound the most convincing, and when he saw the look on Iris's face, he knew that he succeeded.

"Oh okay, I'm gonna eat them then, too bad you're missing out on chef Iris's cooking skills," Iris said showing off her cooking skills.

"Yeah, chef Iris..." Iris pecked his lips and bid him goodnight. 'chef Iris, now she's really scaring me.' he thought, and added a mental note to never come home again without food, he could've sworn that he cooked better when Caitlin was teaching him at thanksgiving.

She's way better at cooking. he smiled at the memory, remembering it like it was yesterday. and decided to end his night with that memory and an empty stomach.

S.T.A.R Labs 5:30 AM

Caitlin woke up to the warm scent of Barry's pillow and blanket, but she forgot how did they even come here, but when she sat up, the memories started coming back slowly. the first thing that she remembered is that Barry kissed her on her forehead, that's when she slowly lifted her hand and touched the spot that he kissed with her small hands, and smiled.

but then after a minute, she remembered why she was here, and what happened yesterday, she propped her legs up, and hugged them while resting her head on her knees, and started crying.

She couldn't believe that Barry was about to die, and no one can do anything. "Stupid life, always destroying the people that I love and care about." "Yeah, I feel the same, first our father, then when we thought Ronnie was dead, he was actually alive, then he died again. and after saving our father, he died protecting us."

"Are we cursed or something?" Caitlin asked, but it was more like talking to her self than anybody else.

"Yeah, pretty much. we have the "no luck with guys" curse" Frost joked, trying to lighten up Caitlin's mood, but she felt that she wasn't going to budge, so decided to shut up.

"Oh Barry, I don't know how you take all of that." And that's when Caitlin swore to try her hardest to figure out a way to save Barry, she didn't care if it's gonna take years, months or decades, she was going to save him because the future is not written in stone.

"Frost, you can take the wheel now, I want to clear my head." "I would never say no to that." And with a deep breath, Caitlin's brown hair turned into white, and her lips turned into blue.

Frost was trying to look around for some clothes, she found Barry's S.T.A.R Labs shirt and smiled sadly, she decided to put it on after she took a shower since it would take a long time to go back to her house and change, and she is usually the first to come to work, and she also wanted to stay so she can help maybe figuring out a way to save Barry.

Central City

It was a good morning in Central City, where the sun was rising, and the birds are chirping, and people here and there running to their work, one of these people was a meta-human, but not just any, a meta that can manipulate, in other words, control cells infused with dark matter.

he can basically touch a meta-human and make them deprived of their powers when he has a five to ten seconds physical contact with the meta-human and can give specific amounts of the cell to whoever he wants, the more time equals more cells, less time equals fewer cells. and if concentrated at the same time, he could give all of the cells.

No, he's not Matthew, otherwise known as Melting Point, he was a 5'7" tall man, with brown hair that is shoulder-length, amazing bright green eyes, and a decently built body. his name is Tim Horden

He was walking towards Jitters until he was suddenly picked up by unseen force, and carried to a sacred place. "whoa... w-what's happening" he was spinning like crazy, and covered his head and closed his eyes in order to steady himself and stop the dizziness.

Suddenly a deep voice startled him up. his eyes full of electricity that was the only source of light to the room. "Hello, Tim".

Tim heard that voice, and when he turned around he couldn't look at the bright light that was illuminating from his eyes when he opened them again, he wishes that he didn't, the figure was a tall 6'5" give or take, with toned muscles that could easily get anyone's attention.

but his eyes, he wasn't able to identify them because of the lighting that was emitting with powerful energy.

he was wearing a suit that covered all of his body, it was a white suit with gold lightning running through the middle, it was nothing like any technology in this period of time, and from the looks of it, he had white electricity running through his body which made him look more intimidating than he already is.

"who are you.. and what do you want with me?" Tim sounded so terrified it made the tall figure laugh.

"I want you to do me a favor, and about my name.. you'll know it soon enough."

"and what makes you think I will do what you want?" Tim tried to sound strong, but he failed miserably, as he was shaking and his mind was running through all sorts of things.

The tall figure smirked under his mask and easily picked him up, threw him at a wall faster than the speed of light and sound combined, and there could be a crack sound heard.

Tim was fighting to stay conscious, that blow could've killed him easily, but he knew if he went unconscious, this person is going to kill him"o-okay... I'll do whatever you w-want just p-please don't kill m-me!" Tim begged him, as he had no other choice but to comply.

"Good choice." the figure started slowly walking towards Tim, "I want you to pay The Flash a visit."

Meanwhile at S.T.A.R Labs

Everyone was in the cortex, Cisco was with Kamilla working on a new ultra HD camera, Frost was with Ralph, Joe was with Cecile, and Iris was with Barry.

the day was unusually quiet, but they didn't complain, it's always nice to have a quiet day every once in a while, but it wasn't a quiet day for Barry. he was thinking of a way that he should tell the team about the crisis, and to also train them, because the upcoming event might be the last one for the flash.

he wanted to train them so they can defend themselves better without him since Cisco took the meta-human cure, it was him and Frost only who dealt with metas.

He decided to tell them now since well, there was nothing to do. he walked into the cortex and called everyone up to meet him there.

Joe came in first, followed by Cecile. then Cisco and Kamilla, and lastly Frost and Ralph. they all looked towards Barry that was not looking like himself, he was actually scared.

"Is everything alright Bar?" Joe asked concerned about his son.

"No, not really." Barry took a deep breath and continued. "I wanted to tell you something very important.." Barry said. he looked around the room, took a deep breath and started talking, "About a week ago, Iris and I were in the time vault, inspecting Nora's suit" everyone looked sad at the mention of Nora, they knew that Barry may not get over the removal of her existence.

"it's okay to grieve about your daughter Bar," Joe told Barry in fatherly words.

"That's not the case. the monitor came in and destroyed Nora's message... and he told us that crisis is going to take place on December 10th, 2019 and..." Barry looked at Frost and shared a knowing look. he wasn't sure if he should tell them, but Frost nodded her head agreement, in which Barry returned the nod and sighed.

"I'm going to vanish in two-months from now..."

and that's when everyone started to tear up. Joe was full-on crying, while Cecile was feeling how Barry was scared, she knew he wasn't lying, and she started to cry to, Cisco didn't fully believe Barry since they have changed multiple futures before. Frost covered her mouth and was crying both mentally and physically.

even tho she already knew, she couldn't help it, she wasn't very emotional, but she just had to let it out, she is losing Barry, and this confirmed it.

"what how? we can't let that happen, we have changed the future before remember?" Cisco said still not able to believe that Barry Allen, the person that he treats like his brother is going to vanish.

"That's the bad part, we can't, that event has been set in that time vault since I became the flash," Barry said,

he didn't want to look at the broken faces in front of him, but he had to do this now or never. "When I returned very exhausted and barely able to move, I wasn't actually tried because of ultra-wave or anything. I visited Jay and my mom's doppelganger on Earth-3 in order to get answers for myself, Jay ended up sending my mind through the anti-matter wall that was blocking me from originally trying to go to the future."

He took a deep breath, a lonely tear fell out of his eyes, fully remembering what he saw. "And I saw billions of possible futures, scenarios, and everything. there wasn't one timeline where the flash survives, and I guess that's why the newspaper from the future that Nora brought still said: "The flash is still missing 20 years later".

Barry felt a heavy weight on his chest, "I need some air." he didn't wanna see the tears or the reaction of the others, that would break him inside and out, so he flashed away, and now he was sitting on top of the star labs roof.

'I will miss this city' Barry thought to himself.

S.T.A.R Labs

Star labs was currently a mess, if someone random would've entered the lab at this moment, he or she would think that they're at a funeral.

what Barry said about him dying made Joe unable to stand, he was currently keeping himself up using the wall, and also Cecile, if it wasn't for her, Joe would be already passed out, the idea of his son dying left a mark on the old man.

Cisco was hugging Kamilla so hard, she was barely able to breathe, she didn't want to stop him from crying, it's his friend after all and the idea of leaving him just seemed too much for him to handle.

Ralph just fully broke down, Barry helped him so much and made him the man he is right now, if it wasn't for him, Ralph would be blacklisting everyone left right and center, but because of Barry, he now is a better detective and gets paid well. he doesn't know what he'll do without Barry guiding him.

and there's Frost, even tho she already knew, she cried because she's losing someone she cares about, a brother and maybe something more, even Caitlin cried, she hated to see Barry so broken, so vulnerable.

"So he just left like that?" Iris said mad at Barry for leaving everyone like that.

everyone in the room snapped their attention towards Iris.

That seemed to trigger something in Frost's brain. "what do you mean "he left just like that" Frost said walking towards Iris with a look of try-me-bitch.

Iris was a bit taken back since no one normally talks to her like that. "He left without even telling me, he knows I'm the only one that's capable of calming him down" Iris raised her hands in the air, and dropped them down again to her side.

"oh with what? your pep talks? pathetic."

Frost was about to walk out when she turned around and said "when his life is breaking down, and on the bridge of death, it's the last thing that he wants to share with his friends and family, he doesn't like to make others feel guilty, you would obviously know if you cared about him." Frost said through gritted teeth.

and with that, she left to shoot something on top of the roof, since that's the spot where she normally goes to fume off.

when she opened the door to the roof, she was surprised to see Barry there, but when she came into view she saw Barry lying on his back and crying, which broke her heart.

Barry was startled when he saw someone coming, but after he saw Caitlin, he let his guard down again and tried to wipe off his tears, but Frost was having none of it.

"Don't." that's all that she had to say before they both hugged each other so tight, the light wasn't even visible on the other side of their shadow.

they both cried freely now on each other's shoulder, feeling comfortable in each other's arms.

after a minute or two, they both stopped crying. "w-wow, did I make the ice queen cry? I thought your heart was made out of ice" Barry said, trying to lighten up the mood.

"You're so stupid." Frost smacked his arm playfully and smiled at him, and when he returned the smile, she could say now that her heart melted.

"Thank you for that, I really needed comfort in someone who I trust, and knows what I'm going through." Barry was thankful that he had people in his life like Frost or Caitlin for that matter, but they are one person, so it's the same thing.

"You're welcome, but I'm confused on how you found the spot that I normally destroy everything in? I only go to the roof to loosen up my rage meter." Frost was now in a better mood, and all it took was a hug.

"Really? I do that too when I'm alone and have too much on my mind, I just look at the city and remember everyone that I have met and that usually clears my head a lot" Barry was surprised that they had so many things in common.

"Oh, too bad I've never met you on top of here before, we'd kick the roof's butt."

"Yeah, true." he and Frost were now shoulder to shoulder, watching the stars together.

"I'm hungry, I haven't eaten in like forever, wanna go grab something to eat?" Barry turned around and asked Caitlin, their faces were mere inches away from together, all they had to do was lean less than an inch and they would be kissing.

their proximity startled Frost a bit since she hasn't kissed anyone before "u-uhm... yeah sure." they were both blushing madly, but it was more noticeable on Barry than Frost, since she is literally an ice queen.

Barry rubbed the back of his head nervously, "let's go to big belly, I could eat like thirty-burgers right now."

"you've been starving for that long? well, lead the way." Barry stood up helping Frost stand up aswell.

he put his arms in front of him, but Frost was confused. "what?"

"do you mind if I carry you? it'll be much faster since I have the better boots." Barry blushed again, Frost seemed to have an effect on him that made him blush like a crazy hormonal teenager.

Frost said quickly "No, I won't mind, I'm interested to see how fast you run speedy." Barry smirked, he missed the feeling of having nothing to worry about, except for friends and family, and he forgot everything that happened earlier, he didn't want to ruin Frost's mood, and with that, he lifted her bridal style, and she hooked her hands around his neck after she settled in, he ran as fast as he can around Central city, and then back at belly burger.

"t-throw u-up" these were the only words Frost managed to blurt out before she fully vomited everything she ate for the day.

Frost's hands were on her knees while Barry was trying to stifle a laugh, but it didn't work out, he was holding her hair up and rubbing her back, "yeah let it all out, now you can really eat on an empty stomach." Barry said now fully laughing out loud.

after Frost was done, she smacked him on his shoulder. "If you do that again, I'm gonna either freeze you so bad that you won't be able to move for a week, OR I would throw up everything on you," Frost said, earning a raised eyebrow from Barry.

"You like me too much to freeze me, and well the throwing up part is the one that I'm scared about the most" Barry nudged Caitlin playfully.

Frost silently thanked her cold abilities for hiding her blush. "You talk too much flash, I'm hungry!" Frost grabbed his hand absent-mindedly and dragged him inside.

Exact Same Time

Barry and Caitlin were getting seated while they waited for their order, meanwhile, Tim was staring at them from the furthest seat back, he was currently on a mission to apparently try stealing the flash's speed, and give it to this mysterious figure, otherwise, he would die.

He was very nervous and scared but tried not to show it in order to get called out, because if he did, he wasn't sure anyone was able to stand up against this man that was targetting the flash.

Tim was waiting until their food arrived so that he can start the act. Meanwhile, he was going through the plan multiple times in his head.

*Flashback*

'The tall figure smirked under his mask and easily picked him up, threw him at a wall faster than the speed of light and sound combined, and there could be a crack sound heard. Tim was fighting to stay conscious, that blow could've killed him easily, but he knew if he went unconscious, this person is going to kill him"o-okay... I'll do whatever you w-want just p-please don't kill m-me!" Tim begged him, as he had no other choice but to comply.

"Good choice." the figure started slowly walking towards Tim, "I want you to pay The Flash a visit.'

"t-the f-flash..?" Tim was horrified and was surprised that he didn't already pee his pants.

"Yes, I want his speed, and I know you can manipulate someone's dark matter cells, and concentrate on the place that you're targetting and transfer the cells to anyone you choose." this wasn't your ordinary zoom or Savitar, this man or whatever he was didn't seem like he was average-villain-of-the-year, he seemed like someone that would go visit hell for his enjoyment.

Tim was started on how this thing was able to know his powers because no one did, he got his powers by accident, and never used them before, and he worked hard on keeping this secret unknown by anyone. "h-how did y-you k-know?"

"That's not any of your concern, now will you do what I asked or no." the figure was slowly approaching Tim until it was inches away from his face.

Tim thought about it, he didn't think anyone could beat the flash, not even this mysterious figure. "b-but maybe i g-got caught... t-the flash would d-destroy y-you"

Tim realized what he said when it was too late. "that's not what i-" he was cut off by a sharp lightning bolt that shook every part of his organs.

he was mad at this point, how could someone compare him to the flash. "The flash knows nothing about my abilities, not even who am I, this is your last warning before I shatter your heart into pieces. now will you do what I said or no!" he slammed his fists into the ground, making the ground shake like an earthquake.

Tim had no choice but to accept. "y-yes, I w-will.."

"good, now look, this is a picture of Barry Allen." he brought up a photo and showed him it. "this is the flash's other persona, he's going out with a girl tonight to Big belly burger, now here's what you're gonna do, you're gonna act like a normal person and wait until he and the girl are sitting, then you're just gonna walk by them, act like you fell, while you're falling and when you try to get up, knowing the flash is all goody, he will offer a hand up. now I want you to take his hand, and focus all of your extraction energy on Barry, try to hold his hand for as long as possible so you can try removing most of his dark matter cells, after you're done, just walk right outside, I'll pick you up and carry you here to the same location, try anything funny and you die. understood?"

He didn't even wait for Tim to digest all that information at once, instead, he just flashed him to the spot that Barry and this girl he's going with and left him stranded.

he wanted to yell for help or something but knew that this man is too fast, he would be probably dead after pronouncing the second letter, so he just decided to act normally, but it was too hard since he was still shaking from the previous encounter with the lightning bolt.

"I'm s-sorry flash."

Tim took a deep breath when he saw that their food has arrived, it was now or never, he untied his shoes on purpose, hoping that old trick would work, and started approaching their table.

Frost and Barry were currently talking about something that he couldn't make out, but they were laughing quite often, Frost was sitting on the closest seat towards the direction of Tim, and Barry was sitting on the opposite.

when Tim was walking towards Barry, Frost accidentally moved her leg to the right, causing Tim to trip.

Frost put a hand over her mouth, both she and Barry stood up. "I'm so sorry, I was just adjusting in my seat," she said offering Tim a hand.

he didn't notice that she offered the hand since they both were standing, and with his fear combined and organs still hurting, he took her hand. it took him three seconds to realize that this was a girl's hand, not a man, and took his hand off, but little did he know that she was also a meta.

he acted like her hand slipped out, so that's when Barry signaled her that he'll help him up, Barry offered the hand, and Tim happily took it, trying to take the longest time to get up. "are you okay?" Barry asked.

"Yeah, it's a little fall anyways, I'm sorry for interrupting." Tim quickly put his hand in his pockets and started walking.

"That was weird, it took him like an eternity to get up." Barry was suspicious.

"you're a speedster, if I ate this burger at super speed, to you it'll feel like I'm eating it slower than you realize that we should be eating now, not talking. mmm... this is good, did they hire somebody new? because that is tasty" Frost started munching down her burger.

"rude," Barry stated and also started munching down his twenty-burgers.

"Sorry but stomach has feelings too, you be rude to it, I be rude to you."

Same Time

as soon as Tim stepped out of sight, he was picked up in a blink of an eye by a flash of white lightning.

"Did you get it?" the figure said

"yes, I did," Tim said confident, but when he went to grab the figure, he didn't feel any connection to other cells.

"what's wrong? why don't I feel anything?" the figure was holding on to the last nerve to not kill him. but when he saw the look of fear and confusion on his face, that nerve suddenly snapped, he started vibrating his hand and felt the lightning forming out of it,

that's when it dawned on him that the girl was a meta-human, he got connected to her cells, that's why he felt like he succeeded. that meant that he is going to kill him. 'NO!' was his last thought before he brutally died.

he grabbed that lightning and stabbed it through his abdomen, and it could be seen on the other side of his body. and he left him in the middle of nowhere and started running.

A/N: I'm sorry for ending it here, I'm setting you guys for a very big surprise, I know the story might be paced a bit too slow, but it's all for the best in my own little opinion.

the next chapter is most likely gonna be around the effects of that little cellular exchange, the effects that it's going to have on Barry, and try figuring it out yourself, think big, like big belly big. thanks for taking your time into reading this, every kind of reviews is appreciated, Enjwoyy!

Reviews/Comments:

XWF1000: Love the story so far but I'd would have wait till February to see how the show will script it but so far, It has started great.

Respond: Thank you very much, I really appreciate that since it's my first ever fanfiction. I didn't think I would get positive reviews, but here I am, being proved otherwise. Enjwoyy your flash-time. hah, see what I did there? flash-time.. okay sorry.

Draconic king: I'm confused is this a snowbarry fic?Respond: It is a slow-burn type of thing, I'm just making the characters oblivious to their feelings so I can make the story real as much as you could make a story with superpowers believable, I don't like to just get Barry and Caitlin in a relationship straight up, just progressing it, that way it's more fun plus it keeps the readers on edge.

And I don't personally like stories that just make the characters have kids in the first chapter (My little opinion.). BUTT that will

happen eventually in this story.

Samantha: Make Barry and Caitlin have mindblowing se-

Respond: O-Okay, sure... but not now, the rating was M But then I changed it to K+ since I'm not doing inappropriate scenes anytime soon, maybe two or three weeks and it'll be as mindblowing as I could make it.
