Part 28
Two Weeks Later
Central City police Chief David Singh was sitting in his office when papers went flying. He looked up with a smirk on his face to see the Flash and Frost standing in front of him.
"Mr. Allen, I am going to assume that there are either a ton of paper weights in the hall of justice or none of you use paper. As for you Ms. Frost or may I call you Dr. Snow? I am happy to see you are ok." Said Singh
Caitlin smiled and transformed back to her civilian appearance as Barry lowered his cowl.
"How did you figure me out?" asked Caitlin
"Well one I am a detective. Two there are two women in Mr. Allen's life, well were at the time the ice meta showed up and kidnapped that your friend here would do anything to protect. It was obviously not Joe West's daughter. So that left his personal doctor and close friend. Now Dr. Snow, your secret is safe with me." Said Singh
"Chief, I know it is. I admit when my powers first surfaced they controlled me rather then the other way around. I truly regret the pain and the laws I broke." Said Caitlin
"Well seeing as none of your victims were willing to press charges it is only your own conscious you have to answer to, well and any god you may believe in."
"Trust me Chief I live with what I did every day."
"Now the rally has been scheduled for a week from Friday at 2pm."
"That's fine." Said Caitlin
"The mayor wants to give you a medal."
"I don't need or want a medal."
"Yeah well our mayor thinks you deserve it. So like it or not you will get it."
"Cait, I know that you have only reluctantly agreed to attend this rally." Said Barry
"I will be fine. The people of Central City want to do this, so the least I can do is show up. My issue is that the mayor and most of the city council are only doing this because next year they are up for reelection. They want to earn brownie points with the public." Said Caitlin
"That is a good point. Though if Frost were to run for mayor, some how I think she would win. But, seeing that is not going to happen. Anyone Frost endorses would stand a good chance of winning." Said Singh
"Maybe Cecile would be interested in running for mayor." Said Barry
"Barry Allen, don't even think about asking her. I mean it."
"Or what? You will give me a freeze kiss again?"
Singh raised an eyebrow wondering what the hell he was talking about. Caitlin just shook her head.
"Sorry Chief. That is not something you need to know about." Said Caitlin
"It's ok. It's just that sounded a little like a lovers spat. I should know my husband and I have had a few."
"Well we are a couple now." Said Barry kissing Caitlin on the top of her head.

Iris sat in her ARGUS cell. She couldn't believe that Barry let that bitch beat her up. She looked up when she heard footsteps coming down the hall. It was only moments later Lyla appeared with a guard carrying a tray. The tray was slid into the cell. Iris took one look at her meal and glared at Lyla.
"I can't eat that slop!" yelled Iris
"That is nearly the same thing you gave Caitlin to eat. So if it was good enough for her it should be good enough for you." Said Lyla
Lyla walked off heading out of the prison. Once outside she took out her phone and sent a text. She smiled at the reply. She headed to her office and then headed out to go reunite with her family. All she wanted was to hold her kids again. It had been too long since she could be with them. But everyone was now making their way back to Central City to be there in time for the rally the city was putting on to honor Frost. Lyla knew that Caitlin didn't really want this rally. But agreed to it because the public had asked for it.

Caitlin and Barry arrived back at the hall after their meeting with Singh. Caitlin headed into the locker room to change out of her suit. While she was changing Kara walked in.
"Hey Kara." Said Caitlin
"How are you feeling Caitlin?"
"Ok."
"I noticed you and Barry are spending a lot of time together."
"Yeah? Are you jealous?"
"What? No! Please I think of Barry kind of like that annoying little brother no one wants but you get stuck with."
"I was just teasing Kara. I feel that way about Cisco. He was annoying me so bad once that I might have threatened him with the fact that I know how to do a lobotomy."
"That makes me glad that I am invincible most of the time."
"You know that I am nothing like that psychopath Thawne that tried to steal your heart right?"
"Caitlin, I think I know you well enough to know you would never hurt me intentionally."
"Thanks Kara."
"By the way you do know I know you are pregnant."
"Well, I am not surprised that you know. I mean with your hearing and x-ray vision I can't hide much from you."
"What I don't know is who the father is. My guess Lex has something to do with it."
"Him and Eilling. They used me as a guinea pig to try and create their own super soldiers they could control. Eilling was obsessed with that kind of thing. Did anyone ever tell you about Grodd?"
"No. What is a Grodd?"
"A nearly 600 pound giant telepathic gorilla. Thawne and Eiling created him. For a long time I was the only one he trusted. He trusted me because I was nice to him. By the way he hates bananas."
"Let me guess Barry has had to fight him."
"More than once. Grodd was created for the purpose of seeing if it would be possible to create telepathic soldiers."
"Which Eiling would have used to make it easier to kill the enemy by knowing what they would do before they did it."
"Yeah. Now Kara think about what he would have done with a soldier with my powers. One that he had taken all free will from."
"That is a scary thought. Caitlin, Barry and Cisco told me about what happened when you couldn't control your powers. That you hurt a lot of people. But no matter what you couldn't cross the line to kill. I know that you live with that guilt of being an accomplice to the murder of HR."
"Kara, I am just as guilty of his murder as Savitar. I could of saved him but I chose not to."
"We all make choices we aren't proud of. But it's what we do make up for those bad choices. You have become a hero the fact that your city wants to honor you with a rally should tell you that you are forgiven for the harm you caused years ago."
"Thanks Kara. By the way as far as my kids will ever know you are their aunt."
"That means I get to spoil them."
"Great why am I seeing you pumping them full of sugar and then sending them home to Barry and me?"
"Guess it's a good thing daddy has super speed."
Caitlin laughed and hugged her friend.
