Part 3
Caitlin glanced around as she heard heavy footsteps coming down the hall. She noticed the other prisoners were sitting on the edge of their beds. She glanced at Lyla but the former head of ARGUS said nothing. Caitlin jumped moving to a fighting stance. That was one thing that she had noticed with the rebirth of the universe after crisis. Both she and Frost shared all their knowledge easily. If she had to guess Oliver in his new form of the Spector planned it that way. The door to her cell opened and two armed soldiers came in. When they went to grab her she through a punch at one and tried to kick the other. A third stood outside the cell and hit a button on a remote. Caitlin fell to the ground crying out in pain as she was shocked with a bolt of electricity.
"That collar you wear is to keep you freaks in line. Now get up. There are some people that want to talk to you." Said one of the soldiers.
Caitlin slowly stood up still recovering from the shock to her system.
"What you are doing is illegal." Mumbled Caitlin
The soldiers said nothing just forced her down a hall. She was taken into a room and forced into a chair in front of a video monitor. She strapped into the chair with tight steal bans over her wrists holding them to the arms and ones strapping her legs to the chair legs. The soldiers left. She struggled against them but without her powers she wasn't strong enough to free herself. She also noticed that the room was hot. Very hot making her feel weak. Almost as hot as when Barry took Frost into flashtime to try and cold a nuke that had gone critical. Whoever was behind this knew that this much heat was her biggest weakness weather as Frost or Caitlin.
"Don't bother fighting. Between the hundred degree temperature of that room and the meta dampeners you are too weak to break those cuffs Caitlin." Said a voice masked by a voice modulator.
"I take it you are the mystery director." Said Caitlin
"Of course. But you will not find out my identity anytime soon. But you will be helping me to get the two speedsters that just came out of the speed force."
"What do you mean two? I only know of one."
"Well since you had no way of knowing about anyone other then Flash it is not surprising. Earth-2's speed queen didn't die with the multiverse in the antimatter wave. She ran into the speed force and was trapped until she was released with our Flash."
The one thought went through Caitlin's head. Jesse is alive.
"I will never betray my friends to you. I would rather die." Said Caitlin
The director laughed coldly. Then the monitor turned on. Caitlin stared in shock at the man on the screen. On the screen was the man she lost twice once because she believed he had been killed by the particle accelerator exploration. When in reality he and Martin Stein had been merged at first into an unstable form of Firestorm. The second and what was believed to be his real and final death when he sacrificed himself to close a singularity caused by that fake evil Harrison Wells, Eobard Thawne the Reverse Flash a speedster from the future.
"Ronnie." Said Caitlin softly
"You do what we want or your past universe husband dies."
Something clicked in Caitlin's mind. She knew this woman. It was someone that knew her history with Ronnie Raymond. It was also someone who knew both Barry and Jesse.
"Why should I believe you will keep your word if I agree?" asked Caitlin
"You can't. But if you don't Ronnie will most definitely die, and I will make sure he has his memory of the pre crisis universe and know that you could have saved him. All you have to do is agree to once more be Killer Frost. No more being on the side of the so called heroes. I will give you twenty-four hours to make your choice."
Caitlin was then taken back to her cell. She already knew that she had to work for these monsters. That she had to try and save Ronnie's life even if he wasn't the Ronnie she had loved once.
"Caitlin are you ok?" asked Dinah
"Yeah. But I have to make a choice I don't want to. I will have to betray my friends. If I don't they will kill this universe's version of a man I once loved, that I spent a few blissful hours married to before he gave his life to save the city." Said Caitlin
"They have Ronnie Raymond?" asked Laurel
Caitlin looked at the former Black Siren with a raised eyebrow.
"The you from my old earth was my friend. The truth is neither of us had wanted to work for Zoom. But we didn't want to die either. She loved her Ronnie. Zoom killed him that is why she helped your friends. Why she ended up his prisoner." Said Laurel
"That was the bad news. The worse news is I think I know who the director is, and it is going to break Barry's heart if I am right. It will also hurt Kid Flash."
Lyla based on those words knew who Caitlin was thinking. Joe West was most likely rolling over in his grave knowing that his daughter had turned into a monster that is hunting those with powers, including the man she claimed to love. Lyla just looked at Caitlin mouthing the name Iris at her. Caitlin nodded. The others didn't know who Caitlin and Lyla were silently speaking about.

Barry looked up as Kate Kane still in her bat suit helped Jesse into the medical room.
"Jesse?" asked Barry
"Hey Barry. Um your friend here hasn't explained what is going on. I mean other than there apparently is some organization that is hunting metas and aliens." Said Jesse
"Yeah. I don't know much. I just spent the last two years in the speed force."
"I just came out of the speed force. My dad told me to run when we detected the antimatter wave."
"Yeah uh it might be easier to have J'onn give you the information on what happened. But as far as we know this is the only earth left."
"Ok. Uh where are Cisco and Caitlin. I mean I would think she would be checking you over."
"Agents from that organization detected me coming out of the speed force. In order for my friend Supergirl to get me out of danger Cait had to sacrifice herself to them. Apparently she was top of their list of metas they wanted."
Jesse nodded. She glanced at the woman checking her vitals not knowing her.
"Alex Danvers, this Jesse Wells also known as Jesse Quick formerly of Earth-2. She's a speedster." Said Barry
"Well Jesse other than your blood sugar being low you are in near perfect health. I'm formerly from Earth-38. I met your dad when I came for Barry and Iris's wedding and ended up fighting off an Earth-X Nazi invasion. Oh and taking an unwanted trip to Earth-X along with Barry and a few of his other friends." Said Alex
"Heard about Earth-X never planned on going. I did go to Earth-3 for a while." Said Jesse
"Hey kids. Nice to see you again."
Barry and Jesse turned to the door to see the retired speedster Jay Garrick.
"Jay!" said Barry and Jesse together
Jay walked over and hugged each of the younger speedsters.
