"I will always be here for you, my queen."
Caitlin woke up and was startled when she saw Barry in front of her.
"What are you doing here?" Caitlin asked
"I was training and then I saw you sleep talking. You were having nightmares, you were saying I miss you or something like that. " Barry explained while his hand is rubbing her left arm. He looks so worried.
"It's nothing, now go back to training I need to get ready." Caitlin answered coldly. She removed his hand from her shoulder
"Wellllll, after you get ready let's go to CC Jitters to meet with Cisco."
Caitlin stood up from her bed. She nodded and mouthed 'Yeah'. She walked out from the room.

(CC Jitters)
While Cisco is ordering their coffees, Barry and Caitlin find a seat for them.
"Caitlin, what happened there? You were crying in your sleep. Like I told you, you were having nightmares. Can you tell me about it?" Barry suddenly broke the silence between them
"Its nothing Barr, just forget it." Caitlin is pissed
"No I will not forget it, Caitlin don't shut me down please."
Suddenly, Caitlin's beautiful brown eyes turned into a blue one.
She is turning into Frost
"I said that its nothing, ok so shut up or I will freeze that annoying lips of yours" Frost said to him but not too loud so people can't hear them.
"Hey, calm down there's a lot of people in here. I'm sorry, I am just worried about you." Barry said calmly. Barry is scared that Frost might take control again.
"Now you're worried about me. If you are so worried then why didn't you help me when I was broken, when I need you." Caitlin's hair is starting to turning into white. Barry was speechless, he felt guilty. Caitlin's right, he was not there for her. He was so focus on Iris that he didn't think about their friendship.
"I know I know and I'm sorry for what I've done but please I need you to come back, Cait."
Caitlin's eyes and hair turned back into their original color. When she heard that nickname, she suddenly remembers the time when Savitar accidentally called her Cait. She loves him so much that when she heard him called her Cait, she becomes soft.
She was about to cry, but her visions is starting to blur.
"Barry..." She said in a very weak voice and she fainted. Thanks to Barry he had catch her, he is now on his knees waking Caitlin up. People looked at him confuse and was shocked about what is happening.
"Cisco!" Barry yelled, Cisco went to them. He still hadn't buy some coffees because of the very long line. Barry carried Caitlin in a bridal style.
"We need to take her to S.T.A.R. Labs" Barry whispered to Cisco. He is so worried about Caitlin, he was about to cry but abled to stop it

(S.T.A.R. Labs)
Caitlin woke up. She found herself in the med bay's bed, she looked outside the door and saw Barry and Cisco talking and looks at their worried faces. She tries to stand up but Barry and Cisco ran to her and stopped her from standing up.
"Hey hey you're fine, you need some rest." Cisco said
"What happened?" Caitlin asked
"Well after you went frosty to Barry, you fainted." Cisco explained
"How and Why?"
"Due to your powers, you need heat to have ice powers but you don't have enough heat so you fainted."
"Where can I get heat?" Caitlin asked
"You need physical contact to a person, you need to drink coffee or anything hot, heater and a hot shower. Just anything that is hot."
"Like Cole Sprouse? He is hot" Caitlin joked. Cisco gave her a 'For real' look
"You've got to be kidding me." Barry rolled his eyes.
"Why, Isn't he?" Caitlin laughed
"Nevermind but you need to get some rest and here's a coffee and a heat pad." Barry gave her the coffee and the heat pad
"Thanks Barry." She smiled to him, he also smiled.
"Mmmm, my favorite" she drank the coffee, it is her favorite coffee.
"Welcome, I know it is your favorite. Take some rest, ok?" Barry told her
"Yes Dad." After hearing it Barry chuckled. Before Barry left Caitlin called him
"Barry" she said in a calm voice. Barry looked at her
"I'm very sorry, I didn't mean to hurt you" Caitlin frowned
"Its ok, don't worry about it. I'm sorry too, now get some rest." Barry smiled and left
When he closed the door, he felt something weird but a good weird. The feeling he doesn't felt it yet, a new one. He shaked his head from his thoughts and went to work.

Barry stepped out of the elevator and saw Iris talking to a police officer.
"Hey babe." Barry went to Iris and kissed her but Iris went for the cheek. He was shocked but still remained a smile
"What are you doing here?" Barry asked
"Well, I'm doing a report for work. It's about a case." She looked at her phone and saw the time
"Well, babe I need to go to S.T.A.R. Labs. Thank you officer and bye Barry." She ran to the elevator. Before Barry was abled to say bye the elevator closed, and he went to his lab. After a few hours of working he is done. There's only a few cases and he is abled to finish it all.

Barry went to S.T.A.R. Labs after work
"Hey guys" Barry smiled finding Cisco, Iris, and Joe in the cortex.
"Well, uhh" Before Barry can say a word, Iris cut him off
"Metahuman!" After seconds Barry has stopped the metahuman and locked him up in the cell
"Well now we are done, let's get some rest people" Barry told them, everyone nodded. Barry suddenly felt the tension between them.
"Iris, can I talk to you for a minute?" Iris nodded, they went to somewhere private. Caitlin saw them left and noticed the tension between the two.
Barry and Iris went to the Med bay for privacy
"Is there a problem, I mean with us?" Barry asked, Iris just looked at him
"No, everything's fine its just I can't believe your back after those months without you." Iris holds his hands
"Well if we're okay, how about let's go somewhere for dinner?"
Barry smirked
"No dinner you have to go training, Barr."
"I've already cancelled training, I dont really need training. I'm fine." Iris was shocked and gave Barry a 'what' look but happily before she can reply, Barry cut her off
"So dinner tonight." Barry smiled and whooshed to talk to Cisco
Iris saw Caitlin at the door and said
"You fine?"
"Yeah yeah, I'm fine. Why'd you ask that?" Iris replied
"Well I think b-but no offense it's just after he went back, your mood changed. It's like the two of you can't comunicate well."
"Whaaatttt? Barry and I are fine. Duhh we're Barry and Iris."
Caitlin just nodded and gave a mischievous smile to Iris
" Yeah I know you're the perfect couple in here, it's just that uhmm there's a tension between you two. Just an advice, go talk to him with all your heart, ok?" Caitlin told her
"Yeah thanks by the way." Iris smiled at her and left.

Barry arrived at their apartment after a long day of work. He saw Iris sitting at their sofa drinking coffee. He was shocked that she is still not dress up. He looked at her confusedly.
"Hey Barr, come sit down." Iris patted an empty seat beside her. Barry sit and put his arm around her shoulders. Iris removed his arm from her shoulders and faced him.
"We need to talk. I'm sorry if I was rude to you . It's just I've made a mistake while you were gone but not only that it became very hard to connect with you like awhile ago, you didn't confront me about cancelling the training and the wedding plan."
Iris confessed
"I'm just trying to become a good fiance and I thought we can go on a date after 6 months, I don't find any problems with that." Barry commented
"If you were trying to become a good fiance, then why did you left me! You left me Barry, alone and scared." Iris snapped
Barry was shocked and felt pain in his chest after hearing those words. He was speechless
"Sorry, but I think we are good just being brother and sister. I'm very sorry Barr but this is not working, and I've moved on from you. I found a guy who was there for me when you were gone and I felt guilty when you came back, so I was trying to avoid you." Iris said calmly, removing the ring and gave it to Barry. Barry felt why he isn't crying, he felt the pain but not too much. Not like their first break up he was broken but now he was just shocked.
"I agree, you need a man who's gonna make you happy and I hurt you for a long time. I think you need to move on." Barry slightly smiled and Iris gave him a hug said and whispered 'Thank You'. After a few minutes she left at their apartment and stayed at Joe's. She insisted to stay at his dad's because the apartment will make her feel lonely. Barry jumped into his bed and suddenly he received a message and saw it was Caitlin
"I'm sorry to hear the news, I wish you will be ok. Cheer up Barr, Good night :)"
Barry replied "I'm fine we thought that we are good only as a brother and a sister. Thanks, Cait for cheering me up. Good night :)"
Barry put down his phone and laid down to his bed. When he closes his eyes, he only see Caitlin smiling. He remained to close his eyes and had fallen asleep, smiling.
