Part 8
Iris walked into her office to see Lex waiting for her.
"What is your goal with Dr. Snow? I mean not that I really care as long as in the end all these metas and aliens are eliminated." Said Lex
"People see Frost as a hero. They have since the Nazi invasion she helped stop. But she is no hero. She is nothing but a cold hearted killer."
"I don't recall finding any stories about people being frozen to death by Elsa there."
"Maybe she hasn't crossed that line yet. But she will. Given the right motivation she will embrace the killer inside of her. Vibe, is a killer as well. So is Supergirl. They all just need the right motivation to embrace that part of themselves."
"I seem to recall you running around with Superman and that annoying Lois Lane during crisis trying to find the right Superman that was a paragon."
"Well people change Lex."
"I like this newer you Ms. West."
"Remember our deal. Once I get the so called heroes to cross the line and murder you can do what you wish with them. Frost tried to trick me but it didn't work."
"You going to kill her fiery friend?"
"Not yet. I knew once she saw that Thea was pregnant she wouldn't kill either of them."
"So what is your plan now?"
"She is going after Hawkgirl and Hawkman."
"What is so special about those freaks?"
"He is the reincarnation of an Egyptian prince. She is the reincarnation. Of an ancient Egyptian Priestess. But seeing as Vandal Savage is dead when they die this time they should stay dead."
"You really are ruthless."
Iris just smiled.

Cisco found Barry in the main hall sitting in front of Oliver's memorial. He was holding Caitlin's letter in his hands tears falling down his face.
"Hey bro you ok?" asked Cisco
Barry just handed the letter to Cisco who read it. He turned to Barry with anger in his eyes.
"That bitch! Sorry Barry but that traitorous bitch!"
"It's ok Cisco. I feel the same way. This is worse than when Cait went full on Killer Frost and joined Savitar. You ok about the part in there about your powers?"
"Yeah. So what do we do?"
"Have Oracle get in touch with Overwatch to find out where Cait is being sent next and who is her babysitter. Then you, Kara, J'onn and I will go to stop the attack."
"What are you going to do about Iris?"
"I will deal with her when the time comes."
"So Earth-Prime's Ronnie is alive."
"Yeah."
"Do you think it is possible that he and Cait will end up together?"
"Cisco, you do know that I never knew Ronnie very well. But the Caitlin that he would meet here is not the same Caitlin that our Ronnie lost. She has changed from when I woke up from the coma."
"I know. She is even different from the woman you knew before going into the speedforce."
"You said she and Frost merged?"
"Yeah. None of us noticed it was happening at first. She would look like Cait. No slivery white hair. But at times she would make a snarky comment more like Frost would say. While you were gone she more than Ralph was the hero Central City needed.. The people loved her. Little girls would dress up as Frost for Halloween. But then the new law passed and we had to be more careful. Team ups happened when needed Cait would go help Kara and Kara would come help us. Caitlin has become close to Kara and her sister Alex. In fact I think Eliza Danvers now considers Caitlin her other daughter."
"Where is Caitlin's mom?"
"Hiding out at some off the grid Tannhouser site."
"So she is safe."
"Yeah."
"Good lets go talk to Oracle."
"Her name is Barbara, you know."
"Just come on Vibe."

Caitlin jumped up from her bed when the door opened. Two guards came in. One aimed a gun at her while the other placed a tray of food on the table before leaving. Caitlin walked over to the tray and made a face. It looked like some kind of beef stew but smelled horrible. She walked away from the tray after grabbing the roll and bottle of water.
"You should eat your dinner." Came Iris's voice over the speaker
"Go to hell." Yelled Caitlin
Next thing Caitlin knew she was screaming in pain as electricity shot through her body.
"Drop the attitude Snow. That collar doesn't just act as a tracker when you are on missions. It is also a shock collar. You say or do anything to try and stop me or anything to insult me and you will be shocked. Oh don't worry it won't be enough to kill you. Harry tells me that you shouldn't suffer too much nerve damage."
Caitlin growled. She knew that Iris was planning something. Something big. But had no clue what. She still ignored the stew that she wouldn't have fed to a starving dog.

"Anyone else notice that they didn't bring your frosty friend back?" asked Shawna
"We noticed Peekaboo. It's not like if we ask about her they will tell us anything." Said Laurel coldly
"How do you know they haven't killed her?" asked Shawna
"They need her alive. The only way they will get the Flash is with her. They are most likely torturing her to break her so she will work for them." Said Lyla
"You do that to anyone?" asked Laurel
"No but I'm sure Waller did." Said Lyla
"But why would Iris turn on us? That is something I don't understand." Said Dinah
"She has reasons but what they are we may never know. It's not like she is forthcoming with information." Said Lyla

Iris sat in her office watching the feed from the meta women's wing of the prison. She had plans to make Laurel do what she needed her skills for. But she hadn't found the right motivation yet. Oliver was dead and been dead since crisis. The only other person she could think of using was in hiding just like John Diggle, Cecile Horton, and their kids. Her own brother swept them away to some unknown location, must likely outside of the country. But she would find away to make Black Siren work for her.
