The situation eventually got so bad with Metas in Central, that Iris couldn't stop, that Wally had to come back to help deal with the Meta's. It went alright for everyone until one day, an argument broke out between Wally and Iris about her being unfit for the job of a speedster, it ended with Wally and Ralph both walking out and forming their own team which was more successful. Joe turn between his two children, simply didn't pick a side. The people of Central took to calling Wally the Flash and people called Iris a fraud who couldn't save a cat from a tree.
Cisco, he used the team turning their back on Barry to get with Iris and eventually they got married. Iris used her being the Flash to elevate her newspaper to try to be the best newspaper in Central, however as time went on, do to her newspaper bashing Wally and praising herself, its popularity severely fell. Iris took drastic action and decided to sue the Central City News Network on behalf of the Flash, but it didn't go well for her.
(Earth 1) Star Labs
Cisco had just got back from Earth 867, and after a warning that Oliver wasn't going to help them again for lying to him about Barry dying, and went to Star Labs where he called a meeting.
"So, how was this other Earth? I was probably someone important on that Earth, and is Kara back on her Earth?" asked Iris
"Well, it was probably the worst earth I've visited only being one upped by Earth X" Stated Cisco
"What made it so bad?" asked Dante Ramon-West, Cisco's and Iris's son who came back from the future to help them stop a villain
"Barry was there, I guess since we built that machine that tricked the speed force into thinking that Barry is still the Flash, he couldn't get his powers back, he became the Green Arrow and had his own team protecting Starling." Stated Cisco
"Barry is alive and is the Green Arrow on this other Earth? You guys told me died killing Thawne" asked Caitlin surprised
"Well …. Um I guess he survived somehow and got to that other Earth, I feel bad for Starling if Barry is their hero, and get this, Kara apparently became the new Black Canary and her and Barry were dating. He even had the nerve to call you the Wicked Witch of West, Iris." Stated Cisco
"Why would you feel bad if Barry was protecting a City like he did when he was the Flash?" asked Caitlin
"Look, Caitlin. He probably messed up like when he was the Flash, he probably let the Glades be destroyed and let innocent people die" Stated Iris matter of factly
"What like you constantly do, remember how it got so bad that Wally had to come back and help, until you pushed him and ralph away, Ralph regrets what he did to Barry that day, and he is not the only one" Stated Caitlin as she left the room
"I'm going to train in the speed lab" Stated Dante
"Don't push yourself too hard" Stated Iris
"I wouldn't mom" Stated Dante as he speeded out of the room
"What was my doppelganger on his awful earth?" asked Iris
"Your Doppelganger is an American Senator for Washington. I saw your picture on one of the screens showing the news in his lair." Stated Cisco
"So, what are we going to do to Barry?" asked Iris
"I can think of something, but it is going to take time" Stated Cisco
(Earth 1) – Next Day
Caitlin woke up not remembering anything that previous day after Cisco announcing that Barry, their Barry, somehow made his way to another Earth and became the Green Arrow with Kara joining him as the Black Canary, and the fact that they both are dating. Caitlin recognized that she was in one of the med bays inside Star Labs, she attempted to use her powers, but nothing happened then she tried to contact Frost but again there was nothing. She then got up and looked around and realized that she was the only one inside Star Labs and went to do some tests on herself
While the test was finishing up, Caitlin went to the Cortex and checked the security footage and found that it was erased but not on the back up drive that Cisco installed for just that occasion. She watched in shock as she was knocked out by Dante and speed into her lab where he gave her the Meta Human Cure and then left.
After sitting for several minutes, the reality of what happened hit her hard, she realized that she lost Frost and realized that this must be in part of what Barry felt when he lost his powers. Betrayal, being the other, when Iris and the rest of Star Labs turned their backs on him.
(Earth 1) Later that same day
Caitlin called Cisco and Iris into Star Labs and asked that Dante stay at home .
"What did you call about that was so important?" asked Iris
"Last night, your son knocked me out and gave me the Meta Human Cure" Stated Caitlin Angrily
"I doubt he would do something like that, I bet you made it up" Stated Cisco
"I have the footage right here that proves it, and I knew something was wrong with him if he came from the future to 'help' us" Stated Caitlin
"Let me see the footage" Stated Cisco as he went to the computer
"What footage? I see no footage here" Stated Cisco
"That is because you deleted it, that wasn't the footage, this is the footage." Said Caitlin as she pulled up the footage clearly showing that Dante knocked her out and forcibly gave her the Meta human cure
"I think it was for better" Stated Iris
"I'm sorry what?" asked Caitlin in surprise
"You having powers was a liability and a danger to everyone inside Central City. Like how you sided with Savitar and nearly killed me, the member of Team Flash that kept the team intact. I was the one that made the tough calls and was the one that saved myself from Savitar when the rest of you except Cisco did nothing" Stated Iris
"Excuse me, you were the one that kept Team Flash intact? Are you kidding me? You were not ever here at the beginning, it was me, Barry and Cisco. And it was Barry who made the tough calls when he was the Flash, before you stole his powers and forced him to leave. Cisco, I don't know what happened to you. And for your information, if it wasn't for Frost, we would of not defeated Cicada so remember that, I am going to find a way to get my powers back, excuse me" Said Caitlin and as soon as she was done talking to them she walked out of the room
"That is it, she is so full of herself, she needs a reality check" Ranted Iris
"What are you thinking?" asked Cisco
"We release her identity to the press" Proposed Iris
"Do it" Stated Cisco
(Earth 1) – Caitlin's Apartment
Caitlin was relaxing at her house that night, when she heard someone come inside her apartment and he aimed a gun at her.
"It is your fault that, I was in prison and now that I found you and you don't have your powers, I am going to make you pay. It was a good thing that someone at Central City Guardian leaked your identity and the fact that you are powerless" Stated the criminal
Betrayal is what Caitlin felt in that moment, Iris and Cisco betrayed her like they all did to Barry, she turned to the criminal who was about to attack her, he fell over with a green arrow in his back. Caitlin turned and saw the Green Arrow standing there with his bow in his hand
"Let's go Caitlin" Said the Green Arrow as she got over her shock and followed him
