Changes After the Crisis (Snowbarry)

43

Barry stood still, he thought he misunderstood, hoped he misunderstood.
His daughter Cassie had nearly killed Darkest Thunder... he had done that more than once with Thawne, but the idea that Nora had actually killed someone shook him to the core.

"Dad, go to Cassie, I'll go to the future to warn Mom, I meant Caitlin. I'll go straight to the morning of December 25th, since I realized Cassie had brought our cousins ​​around midnight." Bart said, before leaving

December 25, 2049

"A terrible Christmas," Barry said, carrying Caitlin in his arms, bridal-style, downstairs

"Yes it's true ... did you manage to sleep honey?" Caitlin said.

"Not really, I was afraid he would come back ... I was awake all the time"

"Barry you shouldn't get too tired ... now put me on the sofa, thanks... As romantic as it is, I don't think that's the case ..."

"Yeah, me neither ..."

As soon as Caitlin was on the sofa Bart came running

"Bart ?! What are you doing here ?!" Barry and Caitlin asked in chorus

"Mom, Cassie was hurt by Darkest Thunder, we need your help! She doesn't heal."

"Oh my God ... Barry prepares the time courier, I'm going alone this time, you can't face him yet, you would risk too much, you are still weak!"

"Okay Cait, be careful! Bart, you must protect her at all costs!"

"Don't worry! The two Nora and I will protect you at all costs!"

"The two Nora?" Barry and Caitlin asked perplexed

"Yes ... Nora Prime, the Nora from the original timeline, the one who helped you with Cicada, she appeared in the Cortex shortly after you left ... literally, she breached as soon as you left the room!"

"Okay, I trust you, Cait take care of our daughter, actually take care of our daughters, I think Nora is not feeling too well" said Barry

"You don't know how much," Bart said

"What do you mean?" Caitlin asked

"He told Dad's version of the past what happened ... And she said it didn't change from before to after."

"Oh my God, Bart let's go right now! I'll take care of Cassie, you get Nora back, tell her to talk to Barry about the past"

Present ... Central City hospital

"You must be Nora Prime, how is my daughter?" Caitlin said as she approached the young speedster

"Caitlin, How did you know it was me?" Nora said without even turning to her

"You called me Caitlin ...  you never call me by name, except for specific exceptions!"

"Why? You have been my stepmother or rather Nora's stepmother for at least 18 years, you won't tell me I have to call you Mrs. Snow!" Nora said laughing

"You know... you never, not even once, called me stepmother, if you really wanted to be meticulous, you said adoptive mother"

"Why... did you adopt me? I mean the other Nora..."

"Yes, before the wedding, so... more than a year before Cassie was born.
You never called me stepmother, you went from the monster who doesn't deserve happiness directly to mom"

"That's why you was so kind..."

"What do you mean? In the other timeline I didn't treat you well?"

"You implanted me that the chip ..."
