Catastrophe-2

Ice Hearts

I hope you all enoy this update.

Anna's POV

"Coordinates are set for the North Pole." Cisco informs us we prepare ourselves to discover what happened to Caitlin's dad.

"Babe can you..." Barry is struggling with all the layers we're wearing to brace ourselves for the cold.

"Here." I fix his backpack and his coat. I kiss his cheek.

"Thank you guys for coming with me." Caitlin states.

"We're always here for you Caity." I reassure her and she holds my hand.

"Ready when you are." Cisco states pulling up his hood and opens a breach. "Oh!" He yelps from the cold hitting his face.

"Here we go." We jump through the breach and we see nothing but snow hitting us.

"Can't see anything!" Barry calls out.

"My face just went full Weeknd!" Cisco complains.

"Wait, I think I see something." Caitlin calls out pointing her flashlight toward something in front of her. "Over here!" She calls out for us to follow.

"What?"

"Babe keep up." I order as I go racing after Caitlin.

"I think it's a building." Caitlin informs us as she begins rubbing the snow off the building.

"Is there a door?" Cisco asks as Caitlin exposes a T for Tannhauser on the side.

"We don't need one." Barry announces as he has us grab onto him and he phases us through the building walls. There are no lights on in the building and it seems like no one has been here in years.

"Hello?" Caitlin calls out. "Anybody here?" We shine our lights to a door.

"There." Barry states leading the way and we follow after him. I turn to notice that Caitlin isn't following us.

"Hey." Cisco states getting her attention.

"You okay Cait?" I ask her needing to make sure she is okay.

"When my father entered this facility nearly 20 years ago, he had severe ALS. Maybe the reason he never left is 'cause he couldn't." She explains with fear in her voice.

"The fear of the unknown will keep you up at night. Whatever we find in there we will be with you every step of the way." I reassure her.

"Thank you, guys." We follow Caitlin down the stairs.

"It smells like science in here." Cisco comments as we see the different jars filled with specimens and chemical bottles.

"What kind of research does your mom's lab do, exactly?" Barry asks.

"I honestly don't even know anymore." Caitlin keeps looking at the weird jars.

"Caity?" We whip our heads around and shine our lights towards a man coming towards us dressed in gray scrubs.

"Dad? Is that you?" Caitlin asks as she walks up towards him.

"Is this really happening?" Thomas asks.

"You're alive." Caitlin has the biggest smile on her face that I haven't seen in years or ever.

"Are you...you're real?"

"Yeah, dad, it's me. I'm real. I'm real." Caitlin hugs her dad but my guard is up. Where did he come from in this room where there are not many doors? Why has he been here all this time?
