Barry was currently in Iron Heights, remembering how the last time he was here, it had been when he was an inmate. But now, he was here as a visitor and he smiled when he saw the person he was visiting.
"Hey slugger." Henry Allen said to his son, who grinned at him.
"Hey dad, it's good to see you." Barry said.
"You to. Joe told me about your coma, how you feeling?" Henry asked.
"Better. A lot better." Barry said, unable to keep a grin off his face.
"Barry, what is it that's got you so happy?" Henry asked.
"A couple of things. First and most importantly, Iris and I are dating now." Barry said and a grin appeared on his father's face.
"It's about time." Henry said with a grin and Barry rolled his eyes.
"Yeah, Joe had a similar reaction." Barry said and Henry just smiled.
"Well son, it's no secret that you've been pining after Iris since you knew what love is and now that you 2 are finally going out, I can't help it if I'm happy." Henry said and Barry nodded.
"Anyways, what else was there you wanted to tell me?" Henry asked.
"I think I might finally have found a way to catch the man who put you in here, and dad before you say anything, I'm not obsessing over him anymore, but I still want to make sure that justice is done, which means bringing the who's truly responsible for what happened to justice." Barry said and Henry nodded, since he knew he wouldn't talk Barry out of it.
"So, what you're telling me is that Stein and I are still linked?" Ronnie asked Caitlin and Wells finished running tests on him and Stein.
"Yes and I'm afraid that you to will need to merge at least once a week to prevent either of you from going nuclear." Caitlin said.
"Whoa, wait, you want me to merge back into that hellish state." Ronnie asked.
"Maybe next time we do it, not only will we have the splicer, but you actually accept it, we might have a more preferable outcome." Stein suggested and Wells nodded.
"We could test it out now." Caitlin suggested.
"What?" Ronnie asked.
"Professor Stein seems willing to embrace the change and the balance, Ronnie, I understand why you're skeptical, but until we can find a way to safely sever your connection, this is the best way." Wells said.
"I don't know." Ronnie said.
"Well, you always said we were like fire and ice, well, now I'm ice," Caitlin said as her eyes turned silver and she summoned a huge snowflake which just hovered over her hand, "you too cowardly be fire?"
"I know you're manipulating me, but you do it so well. Fine." Ronnie said as Caitlin's eyes went back to normal.
"Cool trick." Cisco said as he joined them.
"Thanks, it's something I'm working for identity concealment, since once I get a bit more practice, I'm joining Barry and Iris in the field." Caitlin said.
"Cisco, where have you been?" Wells asked.
"Finishing up Iris's new suit, I think she'll like this one a lot better." Cisco said and Wells nodded.
"Anyways, let's get this over with." Ronnie said as Caitlin handed him the splicer.
"Remember, embrace the change and the balance. Accept each other." Wells said as Ronnie and Stein touched hands and in a flash of fire, they merged back into Firestorm.
"Ronnie?" Caitlin asked.
"It's both of us Cait. And you were right. I feel incredible now that I actually feel in control." Ronnie said and Caitlin grinned.
"Maybe you 2 or well 3, should practice your powers against each other. Fire vs. ice. It could also serve as couples counselling, since any issues you have, you can take them out on the other with violent attacks." Cisco said, just to have both Caitlin and Firestorm glare at him before Ronnie and Stein separated.
"I think we're getting the hang of this quite nicely." Stein said.
"Now, Professor, I think your wife and daughter have gone long enough without fussing over you. Ms. West should be arriving any minute and when she does, I'll have her take you home." Wells said.
"Thank you Dr. Wells. Though I think I shall be coming back here soon to see if we can't find a cure for this, since while being a superhero may be an exciting prospect, I think I'm too old for that life." Stein said.
"Yes, I agree, especially since I just went nearly 10 months without Ronnie and I'd like to make sure I don't lose him any time soon." Caitlin said.
"So what, you can have powers and I can't?" Ronnie asked.
"Ronnie, I already some experience in this, plus, I discovered that my powers also let me heal almost instantaneously. You do not and unlike me, your powers require someone else for you to use them. Please." Caitlin begged and Ronnie nodded.
