When Barry arrived at Star Labs, he found that Caitlin had developed cold powers.
"We need to calm her down. The angrier or more scared Caitlin gets, the worse she'll get." Barry said, thankful for his knowledge of Killer Frost.
Wells nodded as he slipped a tranq into Barry's hand, which he then used his speed to inject Caitlin with.
"Well, it looks like our dear Dr. Snow was also affected by the accelerator explosion." Wells said.
"But why does she have cold powers. I mean, Barry and Iris having speed I get, since they were both struck by forms of electricity when they were hit by the dark matter, but why cold for Caitlin when she wasn't holding ice or anything?" Cisco asked.
"Good question. It might be due to Dr. Snow's frame of mind after Ronnie passed. She felt cold, so the dark matter in her system amplified that into cold based powers. Cisco, I think we should run some tests on you as well to make sure that you weren't affected to." Wells said as Caitlin came to.
"What happened?" Caitlin asked.
"It appears that when the dark matter hit you from the accelerator explosion, it gave you cold powers." Barry said.
"That explains why I feel so cold all of a sudden." Caitlin said.
"You should try to learn to control your powers, because then, you'd make a serious badass." Barry said.
"I have to agree with Mr. Allen, since, like him and Ms. West, your powers could be used to help save lives." Wells said and Caitlin nodded.
"I'm going to need some time to help adjust to all this." Caitlin said.
"Iris might be a good person to talk to about this, since I woke up with my powers. Iris thought she was fine after the explosion like you did, but then she discovered she had powers." Barry suggested and Caitlin nodded.
After Caitlin left, Cisco decided to show Barry his suit.
"What is it?" Barry asked.
"I have a suit for you." Cisco said as he pulled the tarp off the suit to reveal a bright red suit that had yellow lightning bolt-like lines stretching over the suit with a white emblem on the chest with a golden lightning bolt on it.
"Nice suit. Does it just look nice or does it do anything else to?" Barry asked and Cisco grinned.
"I'm glad you asked. The aerodynamic design should help you stay in control with your speed, along with featuring a comm set that's connected to the cortex, it has a built-in defibrillator, it's heat and abrasive resistant, the symbol also contains a mini camera, I designed it with a therma-thread in case you get into something cold, since speedsters and cold don't exactly mix, a heads-up-display, self-repairing armor, nano liquid circuitry, full spectrum scanning, a pulse cannon and, in case you ever get into trouble on water, it's got a flotation mode." Cisco said.
"Sweet." Barry said.
"And before you ask, yes, I am still working on something for Iris, but it's kind of difficult, since I don't have her measurements to base the suit off of." Cisco said.
"I'll see if Iris will give them to you, since she needs a suit if she's going to use her powers." Barry said and Cisco nodded.
Iris was currently going through her closet, trying to find an outfit to wear for her date with Barry tonight when there was a knock on her door.
"Who is it?" Iris asked.
"It's me Caitlin." Caitlin's voice said from the other side of the door.
Iris went to open the door to find Caitlin standing outside.
"Caitlin, what brings you here?" Iris asked.
"I need to talk to you about something." Caitlin said.
"Well, I wouldn't mind a second set of eyes to help me choose an outfit for my date tonight, so let's multitask." Iris said as she showed Caitlin into her room.
"I still can't believe that right now, you live with your dad." Caitlin said.
"Yeah, well, now I just have to wait until Barry asks me to move in with him." Iris said.
"So anyways, I recently discovered you and I have something in common." Caitlin said.
"What?" Iris asked.
"We both have powers." Caitlin said as she held out her hands to reveal her powers.
"So what, you're cold as ice now?" Iris asked.
"Iris, this is serious, I'm freaking out. What if I lose control?" Caitlin asked.
"Don't worry about it. You don't have to choose between your powers or your humanity. You can have both. You just have to let yourself. And when you do, you'll be magnificent, I'm sure of it." Iris said.
"You're certain?" Caitlin asked.
"You can do more good as a hero. Just like I hear Ronnie was." Iris said.
"Yeah, Ronnie always said we were like fire and ice. I guess that literally applies to me now." Caitlin said.
And him. Iris thought but didn't say.
"So anyways, you have a date with Barry?" Caitlin asked.
"Yeah, he and I have always had this sort of chemistry between us, especially after he came to live with us after his mom was killed and his dad was falsely imprisoned for it and the first thing the big lug did after he woke up was ask me out." Iris said.
"Well, I'm happy for you and I promise I will keep Cisco from using any of his toys to spy on your date." Caitlin said.
"That man needs a girlfriend." Iris said.
"Amen to that sister. Now anyways, why don't you show me your outfits, fashion model style?" Caitlin said and Iris grinned at the thought.
"Which one do you want to see first?" Iris asked as she and Caitlin began going through her clothes.
