Short on Time

Chapter 93

"Anything new?" I asked Caitlin.

"No sign of DeVoe," Caitlin answered.

"I meant with you," I told her.

"I should be asking you that," Caitlin said, glancing at my stomach, but I just gave her a look. "No. No cold signatures anywhere in the city. Killer Frost is nowhere to be found."

"That doesn't make sense, DeVoe created every bus meta for a reason. He had no interest in Barry's powers or Cisco's, or any of the metas in Iron Heights, so I don't know why he would suddenly want yours," I said.

"He wanted yours," Caitlin said pointedly. "We all saw what happened. When DeVoe touched me, my powers disappeared. Had to be him."

I sighed, "then why did he take my powers when he had the chance? It wouldn't have been hard to have his wife grab me, so why?"

"There are a lot of things he has planned that we won't understand," Caitlin said.

I shook my head, "there is just something wrong with him."

"DeVoe?" Caitlin asked.

"Who else?"

"No, I mean-" Caitlin said as the sensors went off. We both bolted out of the lab and into the Cortex to see CIsco.

"Uh, satellite's picking up three different pocket dimensions opening in Key Stone," Cisco said.

"Let's each-" Barry began and then saw Caitlin. "All right, you and me, Ray, let's go."

"Whoa, whoa, whoa, wait, wait. They all just closed," Cisco said.

"What?" Barry asked.

"Wrong coordinates?" I asked.

"Maybe he made a mistake," Iris suggested.

"He doesn't make mistakes. He must want something in Keystone," Barry said.

"Tracy Brand's lab," I said.

"He's going after Fal Fut," Caitlin said.

"All right, call Tracy. Tell her we're coming for Borman, okay?" Barry ordered.

"Wait, and gonna do what?" Cisco asked.

"Just to take him somewhere else," Iris said.

"Well, we can't take him here. We can't even contain his fallout. Tracy's barely been able to contain his powers as is," I explained.

"Yeah, the guy's a nuclear explosion waiting to go off. And I don't know about you, but I-I've had my fill of nuclear bombs this year," Cisco said.

"But if we can cool him down, we can get him somewhere safe," Caitlin said.

"What about Snart's cold gun?" Iris asked.

"I mean, I have a prototype, but to modify it to our needs, that would take at least a day," Cisco said.

"We don't have that kind of time. DeVoe's coming for him. DeVoe has known our every move. I mean, we've gotta do something that he hasn't accounted for," Barry said.

"How are we supposed to find a way to cool down Borman and take him somewhere DeVoe won't know about with a plan he won't see coming?" Caitlin asked.

"I can help get him there, but not alone," I reminded Barry.

"Call Lyla. See if ARGUS has anything off the grid," Barry told Iris.

"Okay, but even if they do, I mean, what are we going to do about the other two problems?" Iris asked.
