SnowBarry Memory Unlocked

Thirty Four

Barry held Caitlin tight as he tried to wake her. Her eyes flattered she was losing consciousness fast. Quickly scanning Barry noticed blood stains on her hip.

"She has been shot. What happened?" asked Barry.

"It's John and Jules. They are somewhere here and they have a gun. They shot at me and... Caitlin saved me. We didn't realise that she was hit. Amanda has the others in the cortex," replied Iris as shocked started to take over.

"She has already lost so much blood and I have to take her to a hospital," said Barry.

"We'll take her. You need to go help the others. Trust me Barry, I can manage her bleeding long enough to take her to the hospital. This is your chance to truly help her by getting these creeps," finally Julian spoke.

Barry hesitated as he watched the unconscious body of Caitlin lying in his lap. He couldn't bring himself to let her go yet he also knew that this was his only chance to finish one problem. Getting Jules, John and Amanda would mean that they possibly change something and avoid whatever they were planning on doing.

"Fine, be careful. Take her and I will handle the others."

Barry taking a last look at Caitlin, made his way to the cortex. Iris looked at Julian and waited for him to say something about what happened yet he remained silent.

"I know that you pulling that necklace wasn't a mistake. What is wrong with you. You know that without that she is a danger to herself and the others," said Iris.

She watched confused as Julian pulled something out of his pockets. He slowly started to put in on Caitlin's hands.

"I know what I'm doing. I created this and this is the thing that is going to help us. With this, she will be in control of her powers and she will be on our side in taking down Saivtor," explained Julian. "We don't have time, we just have to hope that it wasn't too late. Her Killer Frost meta-human side will be starting to heal herself. We just need to get her out of here."

They started to get her up when from the front a shadow appeared. Looking up they saw John pointing the gun at them. From the back, Jules appeared with another gun. They had no way of escaping without getting shot.

Barry sped into the cortex and was about to grab HR when something happened. Suddenly everything wasn't in slow motion. He looked up and saw Amanda standing over him and without even knowing what hit him, Barry fell back as something hit him hard. Looking up again Amanda hit him with something. Trying to get his bearing right, Amanda put something on.

"You honestly think we didn't come here prepared. We did our research. Why do you think we attack your girlfriend at CCPD?" smiled Amanda.

Barry tried to clear his mind as he realised that Amanda had put power-cuffs on her which supressed his abilities. Looking at Cisco, he was also wearing the cuffs.

"We used your own designs and made it better. It has stronger abilities as we didn't know how it would affect you," said Amanda.

Barry struggled to try and free himself but in vain. Cisco shook his head indicating that he also failed to remove his cuffs.

"What do you want? Why are you doing this all?" asked Barry.

"At first I just wanted to get you out of my way as you seem to always come in and spoil my plans. But then we came up with a better solution, have you join us. Don't underestimate me, I'm not going to give away my whole plan."

Barry sat there feeling helpless as he saw Cisco and HR both also tied up. He hoped that at least Julian and Iris had managed to get Caitlin out of here and gotten her the help she needed.

                                         //~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~\\~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~//

Iris stood there helpless and not seeing any way out of this. Was this going to be up to Barry to get the others out and then come back for them. She turned to Caitlin who finally showed indication of being still alive. She coughed as blood spat out of her mouth. That sigh of relief disappeared as that wasn't a good sign.

"She is dying, she needs a doctor," called Iris.

"Do you really think that we care. She doesn't mean anything to us, non-of you do," replied Jules coldly.

"Put her down and get to one side of the wall," instructed John. "Do it or I'll start shooting again. I may decide to let her live," smiled John. But something about that chilling smile gave Iris the goose bumps.

Julian lay down Caitlin on the floor, still hoping that the meta-human side kicks in fast and that she wakes up. Instead, he watched in horror as the chest stopped raising and falling completely. Jules knelt down and checked for a pulse.

"She is dead, cant find a pulse at all," she reported.

"No... No... Julian..."

Julian watched in shock. He couldn't believe it. "That was supposed to work. She was meant to fight..." murmured Julian.

"Looks like we have one less person to worry about. Start walking, we are going to meet up with your friends."

Jules pushed Iris away as she was about to make her way to Caitlin. Tears now fell from her eyes as she tried to call out her name but as if she had no voice, nothing came out. Julian just stood there unable to process this.

                                          //~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~\\~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~//

Suddenly, the room started to get colder, Jules paused and watched her hands as they started to shake. Letting out a breath, she saw cold mist come out. The room was getting colder.

"What's...happening....?" Asked Jules as she shook in cold.

Iris turned to Caitlin but she wasn't moving at all. Ignoring Jules, she ran and picked up Caitlin's necklace. She looked up just as a cold wave of white smoke spread over the room. She covered her eyes and then tried to adjust her eyes when she saw a figure knelt down rose slowly.

Skin white pale, hair white as snow and lips dark blue, the figure got up slowly as smoke radiated from her hands. She looked up slowly and opened her eyes. They were as blue as the ocean.

Jules and John watched in horror at this person as both were lost for words. Jules raised her gun at her and fired multiple shots. She stood there watching and she didn't even move. Iris and Julian watched in shock from the side.
