"I'll see you back home, Barr, I just need to get something from the store." Caitlin says, she hears Barry's reply and smiles, before heading out of the cortex, she takes the lift up to the main entrance, and walks out. Another long and hard day at the lab, no metas, but she'd tried figuring out how exactly to get a hold over her powers. Nothing seemed to have worked so far, and she was a little concerned, still, it was early days yet, perhaps she'd be able to get it all sorted relatively soon. She gets to her car door when she hears a slight cough. Turning around she sees a man wearing shades, which is odd, considering the late hour. "Can I help you?" she asks.
"Oh you most definitely can." The man replies, taking his glasses off, Caitlin has a moment to be surprised, Ray Bivolo! Before the light hits her and all else fades, but anger.
Anger at gods alone knows what, but it is there. She finds that she wants to take her rage out on something so she freezes the ground, Bivolo has disappeared, but that does not bother, she will find another thing to take her anger out on. The ground freezes underneath her as she walks, straight to the car park camera. She looks right into it and snarls. "Come out, you coward."
Barry watches the car park footage, noticing Bivolo, and then Caitlin's change. He feels panic begin to swirl inside of him. "Cisco, we need to do something." His friend nods and soon enough they're both suited up, and heading out to the car park.
"Ah, Flash, how good of you to come, and you've brought Vibe as well, perfect." Killer Frost snarls.
"Caitlin, we need to take you inside. Bivolo's got you, we need to bring you inside." Barry says softly.
Caitlin replies by throwing ice at him, he manages to duck, and when he comes back up, Killer Frost stares at him. "You always were less than Ronnie you know. A replacement, not the real thing, never the real thing. You killed my husband." Another burst of ice comes out and hits him.
Barry falls to the floor, his heart aching. Caitlin had constantly reassured him that she didn't blame him for Ronnie's death, he'd believed her, but maybe that wasn't true? He gets up and tries to speak, but Caitlin hits him with another blast of ice, he falls back down and his arms flail slightly. "Pah, you can't even get up and do anything Barry. Speed and ice don't go together. Only fire and ice do." The words cut at him, he wants to cry but he can't.
Cisco can tell his friend is hurt. He looks at Caitlin and moves his hands hitting her with a blast. She falls and gets back up. "Good. Now we've got some competition." She fires off an icicle, Cisco fires back, breaking the icicle, Caitlin fires at him, he breaks the icicles and hits her again.
Barry staggers up and flashes over to Caitlin. "Caitlin, please stop, we can help you. You know we can."
For a moment, Caitlin's eyes go from ice, to green, and her expression is pleading. "Help me!" she begs, but then she is gone and Killer Frost is back hurling ice at him, he ducks and dodges, but one hits him in the back causing him to fall. "Ah, you fail to learn Flash." Caitlin replies snarling.
Cisco decides enough is enough at that moment. He fires off a quick blast, hitting Caitlin in the chest, then another that hits her in the face, and then a third and final blast that knocks her out. Then he fires at the ground, removing the ice on the ground. He walks over to her, creates a portal to the underground part of Star Labs, picks her up and throws her in, closes the portal, then picks up Barry and hauls him back into the Lab. Barry wakes up some time later, demanding to see Caitlin, no questions asked.
Caitlin stands at the front of her prison cell, smirking at him. "Come to kill me Flash? Like you did to my husband, like you did to the Reverse Flash?"
Barry stares at her, his girlfriend, at the anger within her and he simply asks. "What has you this angry? Bivolo's power makes people's internal anger a lot worse. So, tell me Caitlin, has this been bothering you since the wormhole?"
Killer Frost smirks. "Let me out and I'll tell you." Barry hesitates, then Caitlin's eyes turn normal again. "Don't do it Barry, she's too strong!" the eyes change back and Killer Frost stands before him in the cell. "Do it Barry." She snarls.
Barry sighs. He opens the cell, allowing her to walk out. She stops before him, and he simply says. "You want to go free, you can, but first you have to kill me." Her eyebrows shoot up and her mouth falls open in an expression so reminiscent of Caitlin is makes his heart hurt.
"Don't test me, Allen." Killer Frost snarls.
"If you really want to be a killer and live up to your name, do it. Kill me." Barry replies simply, not really caring anymore. Frost uses her powers; the room gets colder and an icicle appears in Caitlin's hand. "Go on, do it." Barry urges. "Do it. Do it like she would do." Frost hesitates, so Barry grabs her hand and pulls it forward so that the icicle is pressing against his chest. "Do it!" he snarls.
Her hand hovers, it shakes, Caitlin feels horrified, she considers Barry's eyes, and the icicle disappears. "Barry." She cries, throwing herself against her boyfriend's chest crying, not able to believe what had happened.
Barry puts his arms around his girlfriend and whispers. "It's alright Cait, I've got you." Caitlin mumbles something incoherent into his chest, but they stay like that for a long while, until Caitlin pulls back, then they walk hand in hand up to the cortex, where Cisco sits.
"I'm sorry Cisco." Caitlin apologises, thinking of blurred memories.
Cisco waves it off, though deep down there is something itching at him. "It's fine. Bivolo tried to rob a bank whilst we were dealing with this, he got shot and died."
"Is that why his power ran out?" Barry asks.
Cisco shakes his head. "No, it was because of you, and your love for Caitlin."
Barry looks at Caitlin and pulls her closer. "Thanks Cisco." He whispers, his friend nods and then gets up and walks out of the room. Barry looks down at Caitlin and asks. "How are you feeling?"
"Terrible." Caitlin answers honestly. "And scared."
Barry presses a kiss to her hair and whispers. "I promise you we will work this out together."
Caitlin nods, but the fear of everything that happened, and Cisco's face now, runs through her mind. "I hope so."
