The 7th part of my Snowbarry story, based a five years in the future. I hope you like this time jump as you find out that little Melissa Allen is different far more different than her mother and father. I'm happy that you all are still reading my Snowbarry story and hope you keep leaving me reviews.
Allen's home:
The sun was rising above Central City to show a house in the suburbs and to reveal a tall figure standing out in the backyard, the figure was a man and he was watching the sunrise. He heard footsteps coming from behind him and when he looked around, he saw a brunette haired woman with a small girl walking up to him.
"How are you feeling this morning?" the brunette asked the figure, he walked over to the two girls then hugged them both. "I'm guessing you're alright, Barr." the brunette smiled.
"I'm great, Cait," Barry answered, he picked up the little girl and the two rubbed noses then he walked over to his wife and kissed her on the lips. "I've got everything I ever wanted right here with me." That made Caitlin smile and blush, Barry loved spending every second with his family and never wanted it to end.
After breakfast:
Barry had decided to go for a run the city, he would usually go for a run to think or to exercise and today, Barry was running around to protect Central City and to exercise. He was wearing his old suit as it brought back memories of when he and Caitlin first met and how they were always there for each other. Barry ran on to the roof of the CCPD and looked at the view until he was interrupted by his commlink beeping, he answered it to hear the voice of his lovely wife.
"Barr, how's the city?" Caitin asked and that made Barry smile, he ran down the building and made his way back to STAR Labs.
"Everything's quiet, I'm on my back now." Barry informed Caitlin. Barry was halfway back to STAR Labs when he heard his commlink beeping again.
"Barry, get back here fast!" Barry thought it was an emergency so he decided to run as fast as he could and it didn't take too long.
STAR Labs, minutes later:
Barry stopped in the doorway into the Cortex to see Caitlin standing in the middle of the room with Joe and Cisco and a streak of red and white lightning running around them. Barry ran and caught the speedster which turned out to be their daughter, Melissa.
"When did…?" Barry was lost for words as he already knew that Melissa had cold powers but it now seemed that the second daughter now had speed.
"We've just found out ourselves," answered Joe but Barry noticed that Caitlin hadn't said anything and seconds later, Nora came running in and stood next to her mom. (Nora thought of Caitlin more as her biological mother than Iris as they spent more time together and they had more in common.)
"It seems our calculations were a bit off, mom." Nora said and Caitlin smiled a little, Barry walked over to Caitlin and Nora then looked at them with confusion on his face.
"Did you two know about this?" Barry asked and the two nodded which surprised the scarlet speedster. "Why didn't you tell me?" Caitlin looked at Barry then the two walked into the med bay and decided to talk. Leaving Joe and Nora in the Cortex as Cisco had already left to meet up with Ralph, Joe and Nora decided to leave and get a coffee while Barry and Caitlin were talking about Melissa.
Med bay:
While Melissa was drawing in a notepad, Barry and Caitlin were discussing about how long did Caitlin know about Melissa's second ability and when was she going to tell him but Barry was surprised by Caitlin's answer.
"Me and Nora were looking into it but were having no luck getting any answers," Caitlin walked over to the crib and held Melissa's hand. Barry walked over and placed one hand on Caitlin's shoulder, he knew that his wife wouldn't hide anything from him unless there was a reason for it.
"Babe, I understand why you didn't say anything," Barry said as he hugged Caitlin, "You wanted to check before you said anything." Caitlin smiled as she was happy that Barry understood her decision, she hugged her husband and Barry returned the hug.
"So, what do we do now?" Caitlin asked, Barry smiled then held Melissa's hand, Melissa smiled then handed her daddy a picture of him as The Flash and her mommy as Frost. Both Barry and Caitlin smiled at their daughter's drawing, Caitlin took it and kissed Melissa on the forehead then got some tape and attached it to the wall in the medical bay.
30 minutes later:
Barry was babysitting Melissa as Caitlin had went out for a girls time with Nora and Cecile, Barry was having trouble as Melissa was using both her powers. At one point, Melissa was using her cold powers to freeze her father's feet to the ground and when Barry got free to try and grab her, Melissa used her speed to move and hide from Barry. The front door started knocking and when Barry answered it, he saw Joe and he was holding cups of coffee from Jitters then handed one to Barry.
"I thought you could do with one," Joe suggested and Barry smiled, the two walked over and sat on the couch while Melissa was drawing. "How does it feel being a father to two kids?" Joe asked and it made Barry smile.
"It's great, Iris is still looking after 'little' Nora while me and Caitlin have both adult Nora and Melissa." Barry said as he smiled, he handed Joe a photo of his family.
"When did you have this taken?" Joe asked with a smile, the photo was Barry with Caitlin and his two daughters in the apartment. "You all look very happy." Joe hugged Barry who returned the hug, Melissa walked over to her dad and grandad then raised her hands.
"Daddy, can I have a hug too?" Melissa asked, Barry lifted his daughter on to his lap and hugged her. "I love you loads daddy and you too, grandpa." Melissa said, Joe joined in and hugged Barry and Melissa.
STAR Labs:
After Cait and Nora had returned from the girls time with Cecile, they met up with Barry and Melissa and went to STAR Labs to check on Melissa's powers. Nora and Barry went to the speed lab to train while Caitlin watched Melissa run around the cortex with lightning coming off her, it was white and red and Caitlin was impressed that Melissa was getting faster, she held up a portable speedometer and scanned Melissa's speed and it was in the four hundred section. Joe walked into the Cortex and saw little Melissa running with Caitlin holding a video camera while recording Melissa running, Joe smiled as he sat next Caitlin and watched everything.
"Hey Joe, you alright?" Caitlin asked but she was too busy watching her daughter, Joe smiled and nodded.
"Yeah, Cecile's with Jenna at the park and I thought I would check up on you and the family." Joe answered, Caitlin smiled as Joe said she was family to him as was everyone else.
"Thanks Joe, it feels great to have you and Cecile to call me a member of your family," Caitlin thanked then looked at Melissa who had stopped running and was now using her ice powers. Caitlin heard her phone ringing and when she checked it, it was a text from Barry. "Barry just messaged, he's on his way after finishing all his work." Joe smiled, he later got a surprise hug from Melissa and followed by a hug from Caitlin.
Later that day:
Everyone was in the Speed Lab watching Barry and Caitlin play with Melissa and they could see how much better Melissa was controlling her powers. She was somehow able to create icy paths and run on them without falling, that had amazed everyone and that was when a name was thought of but not by Cisco this time.
"Snowstorm!" Exclaimed Nora and that surprised everyone, Cisco looked at Nora with a confused look.
"What do you mean by that, Nora?" Asked Cisco but then he understood what the future speedster meant. "Is that a suggestion as a codename for Melissa?" Nora nodded, Cisco thought about it and before he could answer, Barry and Caitlin answered for him.
"I like it," Barry answered first as he was chasing after Melissa, "It suits Melissa as she has both our powers, don't you agree, Cait?" Barry asked and Caitlin nodded.
"I agree with Barry and Nora," Caitlin walked over and hugged Nora. "It's confirmed, if Melissa wants to follow in her family's footsteps then she already has a codename." Everyone smiled as they watched Melissa make an ice slide and started sliding down it, she landed next to her father.
"Daddy, what does Mommy mean by I have a codename?" Melissa asked, Barry smiled then noticed Nora walking over to her little sister.
"Melissa, you know that my hero name is XS, right?" Nora asked and Melissa nodded. "Well, that's what Mom means by you have a codename." Nora explained which made Melissa very happy as she jumping up and down like pogo-stick.
"So what's my hero name, big sis?" Asked Melissa, Barry let go of his daughter's hand and Nora held it, the two sister's went and sat down by the slope that led up to Speed Track.
"Mel, how does that the name Snowstorm sound to you?" Nora asked, Melissa's answer came in the form of a huge smile and a big hug for Nora.
"I love the name, thanks Nora." Mel thanked her older sister, Barry and Caitlin took a photo of the two sisters hugging as they wanted this to last forever.
There's page seven, sorry it took a while but I had writers block and whatever I did, I couldn't come up with anything. Hope this is okay for now as I'll start the next page soon. And there will be another time jump to where Melissa is a little older so you can see her in action.
See you all later!
