So, yay procrastination. Sorry guys school is kicking my ass and I'm procrastinating on this paper I have to get done, but I can't focus long enough to get it done.
Chapter 4
**Lana's POV**
"I wish that Lise would get back, I want clothes," I said flopping back on the bed.
"Chill Snowflake, she'll be back soon enough and we can go home," Lenny said smiling at me.
"I'm already chilling enough," I sighed.
I don't remember anything after getting that drink with Lise, I don't even remember throwing her under the table. Being in a coma for three months is just weird to process, just knowing that I've missed three months of life is weird. And my body temperature being so low, it makes no sense. I feel absolutely fine, like there's nothing wrong with me. The huge 54 degrees on the monitor tells me differently. And why have I gained complete control over my body, I was asleep for three months I should be having to go through physical therapy, instead I'm waiting impatiently on Lise to get me clothes.
There was a knocked on the door and I saw Iris pop her head in.
"Hey Len, how's everything today?" she asked, obviously not noticing me.
"Ohh Iris, I forgot to tell you, but Snowflake can," Len smiled at me.
Iris turned her head at me and I smiled waving. Iris jerked the door open and ran into the room and over to me. She hugged me and I could hear her crying, I smiled and hugged her back. She kept saying my name and things that were inaudible. After a few minutes she pulled away and wiped her eyes.
"Ohh Lana, I'm so glad you're awake. You will not believe what the past three months have been like," she smiled.
"I can only imagine, I guess Barry's been up to his elbows in work," I said her face turned to upset. "Iris, where's Barry?"
She took a deep breath and I could tell she was about to cry. She took another deep breath and looked at me.
"Barry's in the room next door, he was struck by lightning the same night. He's been going into multiple cardiac arrests since the particle accelerator blew up,"
"Wait, what?" I asked shocked.
"Yeah, it's bad the doctors have no clue what's going on?"
I moved out of the bed and stood, I looked around for anything close to shoes.
"Hold it Snowflake, you're a patient you can go over in a wheelchair," Len said going over to the closet.
He pulled out a wheelchair out of closet and opened it. I sighed knowing I wasn't going to get out of this one and walked over and sat in it.
"Lana, how can you walk without assistance?" Iris asked shocked.
"There are so many things we're clueless about that I'm just going with it now. I have no idea and I want to cry, but I'm just going with it," I sighed.
Len pushed me as Iris held the doors. Nothing prepared me for what I saw. The happy go-lucky Barry Allen unconscious with more tubes and wires coming out of him then were ever attached to me. I felt tears coming to my eyes, I felt Len's hand on my shoulder trying to comfort me. I took a deep breath and stood walking aver to him, I sat my hand on his. His hand was much warmer than my own and I half smiled at that, Barry always being the warm ray of sunlight in everyone's lives. I sighed looking at his face, this didn't feel like Barry.
"Hey, Iris I-Lana?" Joe said and I turned to him.
"Hey detective," I smiled.
"Lose that detective bullshit," he said coming over to me and hugged me, before pulling away to look at me. "Why are you so cold? I know your brother and sister said you were, but you feel like ice."
"I'm just saying screw it at this point, I'm going to need therapy. I'm emotional, I want to cry, but I'm not going to," I said.
"Snowflake, Lise is probably back with your clothes, you ready to go home?" Len asked.
"Yeah, let's go. I'll be back I promise, right now I want to go home," I said.
"They released you?" Joe asked.
"Not necessarily, but I don't want to be here anymore," I shrugged sitting in the wheelchair.
"You're just letting her leave?" Joe asked looking at Len.
"Detective, nothing is going to keep Snowflake here when she doesn't want to be. Not me, not Lisa; she's a Snart," Len shrugged and I could see the concern on Joe's face.
"Just be careful Lana, and if anything happens please come back," Joe said and I smiled nodding.
"Bye Joe, Bye Iris."
"Detective, Iris it's been a pleasure," Len said before wheeling me back over to my room.
It took Lise another ten minutes before she was back with clothes. It was a pair of sweat pants and t-shirt. I wasn't happy with the sweat pants they made me feel hot. I looked at myself in the mirror and sighed, I had changed a lot in three months. I'm smaller but that's from not properly eating and my hair has light blonde almost white highlights. It's so strange, I either have had to pay to get highlights or that one time we spent all summer in Coast City.
I grabbed the tape on my arm that holding the thermometer on and ripped it off. I hissed in pain, but that seriously sucked. I put on the pair of socks and walked back out to the room. Lisa held out my vans which I took with frown. I thought on Barry's and my disagreements about Converse and Vans. I put on my shoes and jumped up ready to go.
"Can we go now?" I asked. I just want to go home.
"Let's go," Len said leading the way.
We walked through the hospital not drawing too much attention to ourselves. Len said they signed my release papers, but I'm starting to wondering if they didn't just spring me. We walked out the front and there was Mick sitting in Lenny's black Mercedes. I got in the back behind the passenger's seat, Lisa got in beside me and Len in the passenger's seat.
"Frostbite glad to see you're awake," Mick smiled at me in the rearview. When I was kid I always wanted Lenny's attention, which took him away from hanging out with Mick. So as a play on Lenny calling me Snowflake, Mick calls me Frostbite.
"Thanks Mick, glad I'm awake," I smiled back.
We were all mostly quiet the whole way home. They would all fill me in on things that I missed when they remembered them and I threw in my opinion. Mick pulled up in front of my apartment and promised to come and check on me later. Len, Lise and I made our way into my apartment. It was weird, like I feel like I was in here yesterday. I could see Len and Lise's stuff here and there's more than usual; so they've been staying here. I smiled seeing the Christmas tree still standing.
"You guys didn't take down the tree?" I asked.
"We still haven't done Christmas, and you still haven't decided the top of the tree," Len smirked.
"Wipe that smug look off of your face, you haven't won anything yet," Lise said and crossed her arms.
I smiled looking at the two of them, it's probably weird for them that I'm awake, but like I said it's like yesterday for me.
"Well let me decide then," I smiled.
They both stared at me for a second, before going off to the spare bedroom. Lise was the first one out with a velvet case, while Len casually walked out with a box. Lise opened her case and inside was a beautiful sapphire necklace. Len smirked and opened the box, he pulled out an emerald and diamond encrusted crown.
"Sorry Lise, Lenny wins," Lenny smirked and Lise pouted.
I chuckled and sat on the couch. We gave our presents to each other and enjoyed the time that we had. Lenny fixed us a late dinner and we all sat around the TV eating and watching movies. The later it got the more afraid I got, I'm scared I won't wake up.
"Wow it got cold in here, Lenny hand me that blanket behind you," Lise said.
Lenny hit me across the face with it before tossing it to Lise, I stuck my tongue out at him. We all settled back in watching Frozen at my request. I fell in love with the movie when it came out and Lenny was never so happy that I wasn't a kid singing Let It Go ever twenty seconds.
"You're scared to sleep aren't you?" Len asked. I knew they were both looking at me.
"Is it really that obvious?" I asked.
"You're fighting sleep, you only used to do that if you were excited. Now I know you're excited to be awake, I also know that your confused and upset. Based on that I know you are scared to go to sleep," he explained, he always was smart.
"Right as always," I sighed pulling my knees up to my chest.
"It's ok Snowflake, we're here for you. We'll be right here, we aren't going anywhere," Len said giving me a genuine smile. Those are few and far between.
"Thanks."
"Not to make light of the situation, but I can see my breath," Lise said.
I looked at her and I could see her breath as she breathed out. I let out a breath and nothing; which made me feel weird. I turned my head to Len and saw his breath too.
"A-am I doing this?" I asked freaking out.
"Hey, hey, it's ok calm down," Len said.
I ignored him jumping up and running to my room. I closed the door and sat against it, why is this happening? What happened to me?
**Len's POV**
It had something to do with that explosion, my little sister is freezing this apartment. Her bedroom door is iced shut, Lise and I keep banging on it trying to get her to open up, but she won't. I can hear her crying too, it hurts knowing she upset and I can't help her.
"Come on Snowflake, just calm down, defrost the door and let's talk about this," I yelled.
"No, go away!"
"We were just watching Frozen, you know how this shutting yourself out works," Lise yelled, good point.
"I don't know how!"
"Lise go call Mick, we might need him to burn it down or at least thaw the door," I said quietly, she nodded and walked off.
"Snowflake, it's just me, Lise is calling Mick. We're going to make it through this Snowflake I promise you that. You're not going to go through this alone, I'll help you in any way I have to. Now calm down take deep breaths," I said.
One minute and twelve seconds later I heard her get up from being against the door. She was trying to turn the door knob, but it was sticking.
"Back up Snowflake!" I called.
Once she called back an ok, I turned the knob as hard as I could and dropped my shoulder bashing the door and it opened. Snowflake ran and hugged me crying, I wrapped my arms around her pulling her close. I felt her slowly heating up. I looked around her room and my eye widened, there were huge icicles everywhere and even coming out of the ground.
"Lenny I'm scared, I did all of this," she muttered into my shoulder still crying.
"I know you are, we're going to get through this, what ever happened with the particle accelerator affected you, but we're going to get this under control, I promise."
