Caitlin Snow is Cold?
Chapter 5 – I need time
EARTH 1
The next morning Killer Frost decided to go back to the lab. She didn't want people to start getting suspicious and anyway staying in a warehouse all day can get boring. She locked the warehouse doors and climbed into her – or Caitlin's, same thing – car and drove to S.T.A.R. labs.
Once the drive was finally over she clambered out of the car and headed into the building. The hallways were dull like always and silence echoed throughout. Walking into the cortex she saw Cisco at a bank of computers probably playing with some new tech. and Barry sitting on a chair tapping his foot, deep in thought. When he realised she had come in he stood up abruptly.
"Hey Caitlin have you seen Wally today?" he asked.
"No Bear, why would I have?" she replied in a flirtatious manner, teasing the speedster.
"I just wondered and Joe was getting worried," he told her trying to ignore how she had used his nickname in a way that made it seem like she was flirting with him. Didn't she know how he was crushing on Iris? She had never been like this before though, right? Something was definitely up and he hoped it didn't have anything to do with how Wally was missing but with his luck it probably did.
"You need to chill Speedy. Relax a bit. You can come round mine tonight if you'd like?" The way she said it was very nonchalant and Caitlin had never invited him to her house before. Just more reasons to add onto his list of something weird is going on.
Although normally he'd say no, this was actually the best way to try and find more out about what was happening. So he found himself accepting her request.
"See you at 8 then, Bear. I'll text you my address in a bit. I'm going to get some Big Belly Burger now though so see you guys later." With that she walked off.
"Rude, she didn't ask us if we wanted anything," Cisco commented (more like complained). Barry just sighed and sat back down.
Killer Frost walked out of the building and climbed into her car (it was decided that the car was hers now seeing as she had borrowed cough stolen cough it). She drove down to the closest Big Belly Burger and ordered herself a – you guessed it – salad. I'm joking it was a burger. She got back into her car and started to eat it.
Once she was finished she came out and started walking to an alleyway across the street. It had attracted her attention. She couldn't say why exactly she just felt the need to go over there. So she did.
The alley was dark and quite narrow. Big bins lined the sides and stank like hell. Why was she here again?
A swoosh of air erupted in front of her and out sprang Zoom. He stood in front of her, in all his menacing glory.
"I hope you haven't forgotten your mission?" A sentence that would normally be said as a statement was asked as a question. He wanted her to know he was in charge and calling the shots. He wanted her to answer him, because answering something was like accepting your fate. She was accepting her fate as his servant until she died, which if she didn't hurry up she would be soon.
"No, I haven't," she answered trying to keep it short because the less said, the less to get wrong.
"As of now Caitlin Snow is locked up in a warehouse with Wallace West. I am certain the information we need from them will come soon. I just need a little more time."
Zoom grabbed Killer Frost by the front of her top, lifting her up so that her legs dangled above the ground and his face was in front of hers. She held back a shiver as she looked into the black pits that were his eyes. If anyone had asked her to define the word 'creepy' all she would have to say is 'Zoom', because being this close to him right now – that was all she could think to sum him up. Creepy and terrifying.
"Do you think all I have is time?" he asked her. She didn't want to tell him that as a speedster he had much more time than most people as it was a sure way to catch the fast lane down to hell.
"I will give you three more days to find out the Flash's weakness before I remove you from this equation and find someone else to do it for me!"
With that, he released his hold on Killer Frost and sped into a portal that had just opened. His words left no room for messing about. Killer Frost fell to the floor finally being able to breathe, the evil presence having gone. If she valued her life, she'd better hurry up.
Killer Frost had left them this morning and had not got back yet, not that Caitlin was complaining. She and Wally sat in silence for the most of it, Caitlin too guilty to speak and Wally not really sure what to say.
She looked at said boy sitting in front of her, "are you okay Wally? You're looking a bit pale?"
She was concerned for said boy as whether or not he agreed; anything bad that happened was her fault. How could she protect Wally and Barry both at the same time?
"Yeah I'm okay Cait," he said slightly wincing in pain from his shoulder, "it's not your fault anyway. It's that sick bastards fault!"
"No it's mine, Wally," she sighed.
"Don't lay all the blame on yourself. We need to stay brave, it won't be long until someone finds us and we are rescued!"
"Yeah," Caitlin replied although nowhere near as positively as Wally. Would someone find them in time?
