In the sterile silence of the S.T.A.R. Labs medical bay, Barry Allen lies motionless, a faint beeping from the heart monitor the only sign of life. .
Caitlin Snow, a brilliant bio-engineer, watches over him with a mix of professional concern and a curiosity she can't quite explain. The world believes Barry to be just another victim of the explosion, but Caitlin sees potential for something more. She's been by his side since he was brought in, whispering updates about the outside world, hoping that somewhere within his silent mind, he can hear her.
As days turn into nights and seasons change beyond the lab's walls, Caitlin finds herself confiding in the comatose Barry more than she ever expected. She tells him about her day, her fears, and slowly, her hopes for a future where metahumans like them can live in peace.
One evening, as a storm rages outside, mirroring the one that changed Barry's life, Caitlin sits beside him, her voice barely above a whisper. "Barry, if you can hear me, please come back to us. We need you. I... I need you."
In that moment, a spark of electricity dances across Barry's skin, and his fingers twitch. Caitlin's breath catches in her throat as she watches the man who would be The Flash begin to stir from his long slumber.
