Hello everyone, I'm back with another update. This chapter is part 3 of my three-part plan and is also situated in (3x19) but this one is a little different. This one will focus on the future Team Flash that Barry encountered in that episode and it was kind of cool to write something a little different. This chapter is quite long because I had so much that I wanted to write but hopefully it is enjoyable to all of you.

Write-To-You: Ahhh I'm glad that you could relate to what I wrote. Btw, your stories are amazing.

All characters, story plot lines to the writers, producers of The Flash and The CW. I do not own the rights to any of them just the idea is my own.

Feel free to write a review on your thoughts.

P.S. There's a Marvel reference in this chapter. Does anybody watch any Marvel TV shows? AOS and The Gifted are both quite good.

Chapter 7: I Will Not Abandon You.

Frost raised her head when she heard the sliding glass door opening indicating a visitor. "Hey British guy, you were here just an hour ago. Can't I get a moment of peace without you watching me every minute? It's annoying. It's not like I'm going anywhere, I'm locked in here you know. Why don't you take a photo since you like to stare so much?"

From the shadows, Cisco and Barry stepped forward to the glass pane that separated the trio.

Frost's eyes widened for a second before she smirked "Well, well, well. Today is just full of surprises. It must be my lucky day getting to see two Barry Allens."

"Frost." Barry acknowledged her with a cold voice.

"I see you finally climbed out of your moping hole. Got tired of being pathetic, didn't you?"

Barry's eyes darkened as he clenched his jaw tightly.

"Aww did I hurt gloomy Flash's feelings? Frost said feigning innocence as she crossed her arms.

"We just want to have a conversation." Cisco stated trying to break the tension between the two.

Frost directed her eyes towards Cisco. "What do you really want?"

"Like Cisco said, just want to have a friendly conversation together."

"What would we have to talk about? Last I checked, we're not friends Flash."

"Caitlin is my friend. How are you, Caitlin?" Barry said as he ignored Frost's words.

Frost chuckled "You say that name like it's supposed to wake me up or something. What exactly were you hoping for? To be greeted with brown eyes instead?"

"Is there any part of Caitlin left in you?" Cisco questioned, his eyes shining with hope.

"Hate to break it to you but Caitlin is pretty much dead. She stopped talking years ago. It really wasn't all too difficult to take control since Caity's spirit was so weak that it was easy to overcome. Years of internal trauma does that to a person."

Barry and Cisco glanced at one another as their hearts broke at the reality.

"You can't really expect someone who was strong for so long to keep up the act for that much longer. Sooner or later she was bound to break. I mean you sure didn't help with preventing the inevitable" Frost said aiming the blame at Barry.

"What's that suppose to mean? I tried to be there for her in the past and I'm trying to be here for her now."

Frost shook her head. "She doesn't need you now. She needed you to help her instead of just apologizing to her. She needed you to support her instead of giving her no choice but to use her powers. She needed you to bring her back. You needed Caitlin when Iris was in danger, but where were you in return? How disappointing. I needed you. I needed my FRIEND Barry Allen!" Frost shouted with such desperation that she didn't even realize that a part of Caitlin surfaced at that exact moment.

"That's what I'm trying to do now." Barry tried to reason with Frost.

"Oh, why the change now? You didn't care for years and now you want to mingle? Now you want to be friends? What should we do first? Go sing karaoke? Drink a round? Pull out Operation? What exactly did past Barry do to catalyze this change of heart?"

"He reminded me the importance of family and how important it is to have the team together. Caitlin is my family. You're part of my family, Caitlin."

"What Barry did is in the past." Cisco commented in an attempt to defend Barry.

"No, see Francisco may be sparing your feelings but I don't have that sort of compassion. So here it is Flash, try and listen carefully. You were a sad excuse for a friend. And now what? You're trying to bring the team back together? To the good old days? A little late for that. Look around you Flash, what team? You want to know why there isn't one? It's because of you. You who abandoned each and everyone of them. So, go ahead and blame everything that went wrong on Savitar. But Savitar didn't make you abandon Caitlin, Joe, or Wally when they needed you most. I shattered your best friend's hands off and you didn't even blink an eye." Frost glanced at Cisco. "Some best friend you got."

Cisco gulped deeply and casted his eyes downwards.

Frost made eye contact with Barry. "You want to know how to fix this team? Give a damn and show that you care. That when push come to shove, you will be there for your team. Through those ups and definitely through those downs. Don't just walk out when your life gets too hard. Newsflash Flash, you're weren't the only one who went through a hard time."

"I'm sorry for being human. I don't have a switch like you who can just turn off their emotions and suddenly don't care about their friends. You're talking about friendship, but you ran off to Savitar when your friends needed you. Don't push your misfortunes on me." Barry responded with anger.

"Barry." Cisco grabbed Barry's arm in attempt to stop him from talking.

"No, keep going. I'm not Caitlin, like Flash said, I'm emotionless. Come on Cisco, how did it feel when the face of the person you trusted the most took a part of you away? How did it feel that I took your vibes away? Come on, yell at me for being a horrible person. Tell me that you hate me." Frost urged harshly hoping that Cisco would comply. For fear that her control on Caitlin may start slipping as she spends more time in these two's presence. For a moment, it seemed like her words had provoked a response out of Cisco. Cisco's face tinted with red and his breath increased. However, as quickly as those reactions occurred, they faded just as fast as Cisco took a deep breath.

"No." Cisco stated firmly.

"No?" Frost asked in disbelief.

"You heard me Frosty, I don't care how many times you hurt me. Or how you're basically a living refrigerator. They don't change the memories I have with Caitlin or how she will always be someone that I love. Deep down and I mean as deep as Marianas Trench. I know that Caitlin is within you, even if it is atomic size. You and Caitlin are linked thus making you pretty much the same person. I care for Caitlin and therefore I care for you. I don't really care if you don't like that because I will continue to be here and care. Deal with it."

Frost opened her mouth in response.

"Nu uh, it's my turn to talk now." Cisco interjected as his raised his index finger at Frost. "Let's be clear, you two were both garbage at being friends." Cisco directed his finger at Barry "You were tunneled vision by love and saw nothing else." Cisco returned his finger pointing at Frost. "And you got power hungry which was frankly not cool, all the pun intended. So, guess what? You both suck! Woo that feels good to say!" Cisco shouted ecstatically as he fisted pumped the air.

Frost and Barry gawked at Cisco with jaws hanging. Both were rendered speechless.

Cisco gathered himself. "You're both even and since I was the only person who didn't screw up here. I now make the decisions. From hence this day, the third of February, I declare this fight between us over. From this day we will let bygones be bygones and move on to whatever future we have with clearer heads and lighter shoulders." Cisco proclaimed in his best King like voice.

"But-" Frost and Barry both began to say, not impressed with the idea of trying to get along with one another.

"No buts, my word is law." Cisco insisted as he mimed slamming down a gavel.

"Are you actually trying to propose that we attempt to be some sort of dysfunctional team?"

"Exactly Elsa, couldn't have said it better."

Frost rolled her eyes at the nickname. "Yeah right. You think that Flash and I could actually work together?"

"Too scared for a challenge?" Barry taunted.

Frost scoffed with doubt "Please, as if you would really work together with someone who helped kill your beloved. What would pretty Iris think if she was here?"

Barry's eyes clouded with darkness at the mention of Iris.

Frost's lips raised in a grin. "Ahh there's that hate."

Barry gripped his fists and counted down from ten before looking at Frost. "I believe she would be proud that I am trying to move forward."

"I'm not buying it. As if you really care about whether I join the team or not."

"I do." declared Barry.

"Okay, fine." Frost stepped forward towards Barry barely missed touching the glass. "Prove it, prove that you care."

Barry held Frost's gaze for a moment before stepping away into the darkness. Frost smirked believing that she had won the battle and started to make her way back to her bench before halting at a robotic voice echoing off the walls. "Systems disengage." Behind her, the doors to her containment unit opened. Frost stepped towards the door, exited her prison and stepped face to face with Barry and Cisco.

"What's the catch?" Frost asked. Her voice laced with suspicion.

Barry replied with a serious tone. "Prove that I didn't just make a big mistake."

Cisco clapped happily. "Yay progress. Okay, the plan is in action. Bring back Team Flash is a go." Cisco stated with glee as he placed one arm on Barry's shoulders and the other on Frost's. Frost flinched at the contact and stepped away shrugging Cisco's arm off. Cisco unfazed by the action continued to motion the two of them towards the exit.

"Some advice for you Allen. Get a haircut. It covers that pretty face of yours."

"Your one to talk scar face"

"Ahh but it pulls the whole look together." Frost remarked as she jostled her hair with her hands and followed the two of them out.

*6 months later*

"Barry, Frost, our mystery meta is heading towards a dead end. They will meet nothing but the edge of a cliff and a raging river beneath." Cisco noted as a heads up.

"Alright, we're on our way." Barry confirmed as he raced himself and Frost to their destination only to be greeted by an empty cliff clearing.

"Cisco, are you sure? There's nothing here." Barry asked as he looks around.

"What? My tracker does not lie." Cisco said, insulted that Barry would insinuate that a mistake was made on his end.

"I don't think your tracker takes into account metahumans' abilities." Frost pointed out as something beyond the cliff catches her attention.

Joe, on standby as back up spoke up. "What are you seeing?"

"Right now, I see a vortex of metal shards levitating across the ravine." stated Frost.

"Man, I swear metahumans don't play fair." Cisco grumbled.

Barry scratched his head in puzzlement. "What do we do? It's way to large of a gap for me to race over."

"Try not to fall off." Frost stated and before Barry could question her further, she begins to form an ice path over the ditch. Frost glanced at Barry. "Well come on, we want to catch them, don't we?"

Barry nodded slowly before placing his palm on her shoulder as she used her powers to propel them forward. As soon as Barry was close enough to the other side, he raced after the fleeing meta and cut them off before they could get any further. Frost joined him a step behind, effectively trapping the meta from both directions.

"Your adventure ends here, put your hands…" Barry started to say before interrupted by shards of black metal projected towards his face. At the last second, Barry avoided the attack and regained his composure "...up where I can see them."

"Ooh, the big bad Flash trying so hard to be intimidating. You aren't fooling anybody." a voice echoed from the shadows as a woman stepped forward.

"You're caught by us. I guess I'm doing a pretty good job as the Flash." Barry said smugly.

The woman giggled as she placed her palm out. "Oh dearie, this isn't over."

Unknown to Barry, the shards that previously missed his head started to race back towards him. However, before the shards could hit him, Frost pushed him to the side and both fell onto the ground. "You're letting your guard down." Frost muttered disapprovingly.

"Caity? Is that you?" the woman asked as the metal shards wrapped around her right arm.

Frost stood up brushing off any dirt that got on her leather jacket. "Amunet."

Barry glanced back and forth between the two of them. "You two know each other?"

"Unfortunately."

"That hurts. We had some good adventures back in the day. You, Savitar and me. What are you doing with the Flash anyways? Don't tell me you teamed up with the villain who locked up the God of Speed? I never imagined you to sink so low." Amunet questioned as she tilted her head slightly to the left in wonder.

"That's none of your business." Frost responded coldly.

Amunet shivered. "Always the frosty one, darling."

Frost crossed her arms. "Are we done here? I don't care for the chit chat."

"Yes, I suppose we should cut the small talk. Just know darling, whenever you get tired of running with the Flash, you can always come to me. You and I would make one wicked team. We could bring this city down to its knees." Amunet offered as she raised her right arm and willed the shards towards Barry and Frost. Both ducked and Frost quickly formed an ice dome around Amunet. Amunet shouted with frustration and willed her shards back to her in hopes of shattering the dome but to no avail. Her shards stayed embedded in the dome, stuck in place. Barry phased through the dome and before Amunet could react, shackled her wrists with the power dampening cuffs.

Barry grinned cheekily. "Got you."

Amunet pouted while hanging her head. "Dang it."

Back at Star Labs, Barry safely stowed Amunet into the particle accelerator before heading to the Cortex.

"You think she's attached to the name? I'm not really feeling it. I'm thinking more like Magneto." Cisco suggested.

"Magneto?" questioned Wally.

"Yeah, she's a magnet that moves metal and it's neat…Magneto…It's a cool nickname." Cisco tried to explain only to have the rest of the team stare at him blankly.

"How about Blacksmith?" offered Barry.

"Assigning nicknames is my thing, don't do my thing…although that is a pretty cool nickname." Cisco admitted.

Barry grinned softly. "Anyways, Amunet is locked away."

Joe patted Barry on the shoulder. "Good thing too, CCPD has been looking for her for a long time. She's been tagged as the leader of an underground black market for all things meta, but she always managed to sneak away from our grasp."

"It's one less thing that Central City has to worry about." Julian keyed in.

Barry nodded his head as he looked around the Cortex. "Where's Frost?"

"She was here a while ago debriefing us on the mission and the whereabouts of the black market. I didn't even see her leave." H.R. mentioned as he fiddled his drumsticks.

Barry's blood went cold as a bad thought crossed his mind. "You and I would make a wicked team. We could bring this city down to its knees." No. Barry flashed off before anybody else could say anything and raced around Star Labs desperately seeking Frost. Would she really betray them now? Barry checked the particle accelerator containment unit first and lets out a sigh of relief when he sees that Amunet is still there. He investigated around Star Labs and found Frost in a back room.

Frost turned her head away from the mirror when she heard a gasping Barry enter the room. "Are you looking for something?"

Barry's uneasy heart settled a little as he noticed Frost in the room. "Uh…yeah…I forgot my uh…what are you doing?" Barry stuttered as his brain blanked for a possible excuse before noticing that Frost had medical gloves on.

Frost returned her attention to her previous task of stitching a large cut she had on her right shoulder. "What does it look like I'm doing?"

Barry's eyes widened with realization. "Wait, you got injured?"

"Great observational skills, Detective Allen." Frost teased as she attempted to sew another stitch with her left hand. "One of Amunet's pesky shards nicked me but it's no big deal."

"Here, let me, you can't exactly do that with your left hand." Barry said as he placed gloves on before taking the needle from Frost.

Frost tried to object but Barry had already begun to sew up her wound, so she turned her head away and let Barry continue to work. "You're going to tell me what got you so worked up earlier?"

"It's nothing." Barry insisted.

Frost glanced at Barry's reflection as he silently worked. Liar. If it really was nothing, panic wouldn't have been written all over Barry's face when he entered the room. Figure as much that Amunet's words earlier caused a warning in Barry. No doubt, Barry was checking in on her to make sure that she didn't return to her old ways. Frost frowned slightly at that. Guess she shouldn't be too surprised that he still didn't trust her. Just because they have been working together these past months doesn't change the past.

These last few months brought a lot of change. When Barry became a leader and hero again, Central City and his team found peace once again. Wally who seemed to be mentally scarred beyond repair began to talk again when Barry came back and has started to go to physiotherapy with Joe to slowly walk again. Joe was just glad to have both of his sons back in his life again. H.R. reopened Star Labs Museum and it is now a popular attraction due to his gained popularity with his books. Julian returned to CCPD as head forensic investigator and helps the team with tracking criminal activity. The romance between them never really initiated. Frost didn't have feelings for Julian and vice versa, it was as simple as that. Cisco's powers resurfaced in the last month as visions in his mind, either past or future, yet somehow always had a connection to the current mission. Although, he could never produce vibe blasts or portals again, Cisco was grateful to still have a connection to Vibe. Occasionally, a member of the team would bring up past Barry Allen that brought the team back together. Curious if he ever did stop Savitar in his timeline and if he was successful, why did this timeline still exist? Best answer they could come off with is that this timeline would eternally remain as a potential future, as time is infinite, therefore continues to remain in existence. The team learned to cope with that as things aren't all too bad.

Sometimes Barry would revert to old habits and call Frost Cait without realizing it and she must admit that atomic size Caitlin woke up each time. Barry would also always get her a cup of hot coffee every morning, knowing that her temperature is always on the low side. Moments like those made Frost believe she was a part of the team but trust is not an easy thing to gain. Regardless, her loyalty will always be questioned which was funny because loyalty wasn't an issue. Technically, she never fully betrayed Barry.

Killer Frost will always be loyal to the God of Speed.

That's a wrap on this chapter. I hope you like it.
