I walked into the labs when a hand wrapped around my arm pulling me into the second section of the lab. It was Cisco. "Well good morning to you too?" I said a bit to loudly.

His other hand covered my mouth "shhh, could you be any louder?" He whispered.

I pulled his hand away. "Try me" I smiled.

He rolled his eyes and held up a piece of paper "I ran the DNA test, and it looks like we have a match... We've found your sister" he smiled.

"Who's sister?" Caitlin asked standing in the doorway with her arms folded and eye brows raised.

"Ugh... Nothing? What are you doing here Cait I thought you where sick?"  Cisco said taken back in surprise.

"I am but I thought you would have the reason why seeming as you ran a blood test a few days ago." She said walking up taking the paper from Cisco's hands.

"Um well about that I lost the blood, whoops silly me" he laughed falsy.

"Who's DNA is this?" She asked.

"That would be mine and yours" I spoke up sending Cisco to look at me like I was a mad woman.

"It says where related? This can't be right, I had a sister when I was little but she was lost, she's dead for all I know" Caitlin looked at the paper confused.

"Cait, my last name is Snow I was adopted by the Queen family when I lost you".

"What! And you never told me?! " she yelled shoving the paper back into Cisco's chest.

"I'm sorry I didn't know, Cait. I've been looking for you since I moved here and when I was in a coma it set everything back 9 months"

She just shook her head and left not saying a word. I looked over at cisco he wrapped his arms around me and I cried into his chest.

"Hey, shhh its okay lyd. " he comforted me. "How about I take you out tonight so you can take your mind off this?" I nodded pulling away from him wiping my tears away. "Okay I'll pick you up at 8 okay?" He said brushing hair out of my eyes.

" I'd like that"  I smiled up at him.

"How about you go home and I'll cover your shift?" He smiled back.

"What if the flash has another crisis with a meta human Caitlin's not here and nor will I"

"Don't worry about Barry, I know my way around a band aid." He joked pushing my to the elevator pressing the button for me.

I smiled and waved to him as the doors closed my eyes where red and puffy from crying, I was told I am a pretty crier but I think everyone looks ugly when they cry.

I got into my car and took the scenic tour home the windows down and my now blonde hair blowing in the wind. Oliver had asked about my hair and sure enough I replied with a simple 'I dyed it'.

I reached my house and walked up to my door to find a bouquet of white and blue roses, I picked up the small card that the bouquet laid on and read  it.

It reads:
Dear Lydia
you deserve these, you've tried to kill me and Barry so I guess we've had our ups and downs. Just don't take life so seriously.
Love the best person you know, Cisco xxoo

His handwriting was elegant and sweet, I picked the flowers and card up while fishing for my keys in my handbag.

I unlocked the door the same way that Barry taught me when we first met. Pull. Unlock. Push.

********

8:00pm rolled around and I was in a nice dress sitting on the couch waiting to be picked up by Cisco.

Soon enough a car pulled up out the front of my house and a knock on the door. I opened the door and hugged him.

We arrived at a fancy restaurant on the corner of a street. "Thank you for the flowers" I smiled at him as we sat across from each other.

"No need to thank me, you had a rough start to the day. Have you heard from Caitlin since the little fall out?" He asked.

"No." I said simply but softly. "I've called her but no answer, she seems different then what she used to be "

"So does Wells, I know I'm not one to judge and I've worked for him for a while now but he seems a bit on the off side, then again so does Barry." He said, I nodded in agreement.

"I agree, Barry has been giving Harrison the cold shoulder."

"Let's forget about work, for now its not important" he held my hand and smiled.

"Then what is important?" I asked smiling back.

He leaned in and and I did the same. But that moment was ruined by my sister swinging the doors open, her eyes where glowing blue and her skin pale.

"Cisco...." He squeezed my hand tightly not letting go.

She walked over to me, she wore a dark midnight blue leotard with white fur around her wrists. I stood up and let her walk to me.

"What happened to you Cait?" I asked terrified and worried.

"Don't play innocent Lydia! You did this to me!" She screamed as ice developed in her pale hands.

"I don't know what your talking about" that was no lie.

Before I could say another thing a icy blast was fired at me. I crossed my arms above my head causing a icy shield to erupt from the ground. The wall of ice shattered when the blast hit it, shards of ice like glass covered the ground.

"Get everyone out" I said to Cisco before my sister and I engaged in a full fledged icy battle.

We fought and fought until I nearly couldn't stand anymore. My white dress ripped and my eyes growing heavy. I was drained.

"I'll miss you the most" Caitlin announced before creating a icicle sharp enough to pierce metal walls.

She lunged the icicle down, I was quick enough to roll out of the way my flesh still coming in contact with the icicle.

A big deep gash was created on my arm, I cried out in agony as blood pooled around me. My eyes grew heavy and words became a blur.

Authors note: nice long chapter for you guys. Let me know if you want her to live or die.
