I wrote this chapter after a guest reviewer requested more regarding Killer Frost and I've been trying to figure out how to incorporate that into the story and I finally came up with an idea. For those who read my story Cry of the Canary, I will bringing in a certain character from that story to this one and for those of you who read that story, you probably know who it is. Anyways, here's chapter 7:
It had been 2 weeks since Roy had returned to the team, since Nyssa had acquired Maseo's body, body dressed him up as the Arrow and left for the SCPD to find, along with a recording of details that only the real Arrow would know of his missions, along with explaining that Roy Harper was just an Arrow fanboy who was trying to stand up for his hero, leading to Roy being exonerated and free to return to Star City, which he did and he also enlisted in the ACU. And Roy was not the only person who'd been cleared of crimes he did not commit.
Laurel used her power as the District attorney to uncover every piece of necessary evidence against her predecessor to prove that it was Prometheus who was responsible for all the crimes that the Green Arrow was charged with, thus clearing the Green Arrow's name and restoring his reputation as Star City's guardian angel.
Oliver was currently dealing with looking over resumes for new members of the ACU, for since that unit functioned directly under him and Quentin was currently on vacation, leaving Oliver to deal with it when suddenly Thea entered his office.
"Thea, what's going on? Can't you see I'm busy?" Oliver asked.
"Ollie, there's been a Killer Frost sighting in the Glades." Thea said, causing Oliver to immediately stop what he was doing.
"Tell Roy and Dinah to the ACU and the SCPD respectively that on the mayor's orders, if they spot Killer Frost than they are not to engage, as Caitlin is far too dangerous for them to handle. Tell them to leave it to the Green Arrow and his team. Then tell Roy and Dinah to meet me and the others in the Bunker and tell Pike to have the SCPD evacuate the Glades immediately." Oliver said and Thea nodded as she walked out.
"Why didn't Star Labs call and tell us that Caitlin got out?" John asked Oliver after he told the team what was going on.
"I don't know but I'm going to find out. In the meantime, hit the streets and patrol the Glades for any sign of her. You find her, contact the rest of the team, do not engage alone." Oliver said.
"Copy that." Rene said as they all headed to suit up.
Oliver stopped Curtis and said "I need you here on comms and try and find a way to track Caitlin. We need to find her before she does some real damage."
Curtis nodded.
"Well without Curtis, that leaves us kind of short handed." Dinah said and as if on cue, a breach opened in the middle of the bunker and Team Flash entered.
"Hope you don't mind us dropping by." Barry said.
"Nice new suit." Curtis said to Barry, since Barry's suit had been upgraded to look a bit more muscular, along with more yellow lightning outlines on it and a lightning themed belt. (The suit that future Flash wears in the previews for the newest Flash episode)
"Thanks, another bonus that came from my trip to the future." Barry said.
"Anyway Barry, I assume you're hear to help us stop Caitlin?" Oliver asked.
"Yep and actually, I think we found a way to cure her." Barry said.
"How?" John asked.
"With me." Iris said.
"Excuse me? No offense Iris, but how exactly are you going to stop Caitlin?" Rene asked.
"None taken." Iris said.
"Put it in simple terms, I realized that maybe Caitlin's problem isn't so much willpower as it is stability. So after running various tests, I discovered that if Caitlin were to merge with someone, like Professor Stein and Jax do into Firestorm, than it might stabilize her powers and allow the old Caitlin to return." Cisco said.
"But what does that have to do with Iris?" Dinah asked.
"Jesse tested my blood with Caitlin's and it turns out that somehow when the reaction that gave Barry and Jesse their speed occurred, my DNA was also mutated in a very similar way that Caitlin's was, only my abilities are dormant. But if I can get close to Caitlin to trigger a merge and it works, it should both activate my powers and restore Caitlin's mind." Iris said.
"Then that's what we do." Oliver said.
"Cisco, I could use your help tracking Caitlin down." Curtis said.
"I'm on it." Cisco said as he went over the computers and began to work.
They got a hit at Verdant surprisingly. After both teams had suited up, Cisco breached them all to Caitlin's location.
"Iris, put this on your right hand. You'll need it in order to properly merge with Caitlin." Jesse Quick said, handing Iris a quantum splicer.
"Thanks." Iris said attaching the splicer to her hand.
"Alright, remember the plan. My team, keep Killer Frost distracted." Green Arrow said.
"Same goes for my team. Vibe, the moment you see an opening, get Iris to Caitlin and hopefully a merge will happen." Flash said.
"Ok, but first we have to find her." Wilddog said.
"Why'd you have to say that." Spartan grumbled as the temperature lowered about 20 degrees.
"Well, this is a surprise. I was only hoping to draw out the Green Arrow and his team. Getting the Flash is just an added bonus." Killer Frost said.
"Caitlin, I know you're still in there, you have to fight it." Vibe said.
"There is no more Caitlin. There is only Killer Frost." Killer Frost said.
"Siren, go." Green Arrow said, calling Dinah by her new codename since Laurel had insisted on keeping Black Canary.
Siren let loose her cry, which was met by Killer Frost's cyroblast.
"Create a heat funnel to help neutralize her ice powers." Flash said to Kid Flash and Jesse Quick, both of whom nodded as they began to rotate their arms.
"We can't hold this for long, do it now." Kid Flash said.
"Don't worry, I'll make this quick." Killer Frost said.
"He was talking to me." Iris said as she and Vibe appeared behind Killer Frost and Iris gripped Killer Frost's hand with her right hand and suddenly they merged in a manner similar to Firestorm, with frost rather than fire.
When the frost subsided, they saw Iris, wearing what looked like refitted, reverse colored version of the killer frost suit, her eyes were just bright blue pupils and her hair was snow white.
"Iris, are you still in there?" Barry asked.
"Yeah, but I can tell that this splicer won't last long. Though it worked, because I have Caitlin in my head and she sounds normal again." Iris said.
"You better split now and I'll put the necklace on Caitlin." Flash said.
"Right." Iris said and after a moment and a flurry of frost, Iris was back in her normal clothes and her hair was back to black and Caitlin had reappeared next to her, only now her eyes and hair were also back to normal.
Barry quickly super sped the necklace around Caitlin's neck.
"Thank you." Caitlin said.
"Our pleasure." Green Arrow said.
"We better clear out before the SCPD get here. Thank you so much for your help." Flash said to Green Arrow.
"See you at your wedding." Green Arrow said, shaking his hand.
"We better get back to Central City." Vibe said as he opened a breach and all the members of Team Flash, Caitlin included, went through.
