A New Life: Sky High

Family Freeze

"Frost Assassin?" Caitlin asked.

Killer Frost nodded.

"So he's down the same path as dad." Caitlin said.

"Unfortunately yes." Killer Frost said. "He uh...he killed Ronnie...my Ronnie."

Caitlin was confused. "Why would he want to do that?" She asked.

"Pretty much like we did." Killer Frost said. "Showing our power only to cause fear."

"Well we have to do something." Caitlin said. "We can't let him turn into dad."

Killer Frost agreed. "It's strange. The way he looked, it wasn't like Frost Assassin." She said. "It felt like Charlie."

***

"So your brother is a Frost too?" Ian asked.

"Yeah and apparently like dad." Caitlin said.

"Well if Killer Frost felt Charlie instead of Frost Assassin then there's gotta be a way to reach him." Phoebe said.

"Reach who?" Layla said as she sat by them.

Ian and Phoebe looked at Caitlin and Layla.

"Well this is trippy." Ian said.

"A boy who goes by Frost Assassin." Phoebe said.

Layla looked confused. "You mean Charlie?" She asked.

Caitlin looked at Layla. "You know him?" She asked.

Layla nodded. "He confused me for you a few times." She explained. "He trained here until...actually the day before you arrived."

"I never saw him." Ian said.

"Well you were suspended and then took the rest of the year off." Layla replied.

Ian wasn't even thinking about it and realized he hadn't run into her since leaving the battlerealm.

"I was so caught up in finding Ruby, I didn't even think about it? Ian said.

"Well honestly things have been getting weirder since then." Phoebe said.

"Weirder how?" Caitlin asked.

Phoebe shrugged. "Before the battlerealm was destroyed, we all escaped and ended up getting split into different places." She explained.

An alarm goes off.

"What does that mean?" Caitlin asked.

Ian got to his feet. "We're under attack." He said. "We gotta move now."

A sharpened icicle lands near them.

"Hey sis." Frost Assassin said. "Heard were looking for me."

Caitlin looked at Frost Assassin and began to walk towards him.

"Not you Snow." Frost Assassin said. "Come out already Frost."

Caitlin transforms into Killer Frost.

"Why're you doing this?" Killer Frost asked.

"Like you said." Frost Assassin reminded. "It's what we do."

Frost Assassin throws sharpened icicles towards Killer Frost, who dodges them.

"I'm not gonna fight you." Killer Frost said. "Let me help you."

Phoebe raced over and grabbed Frost Assassin by the arm.

Everything around Phoebe flashed green and blue.

"Help." A voice said weakly.

Phoebe turns to see Charlie and runs towards him.

"Oh my god." Phoebe said looking at Charlie's wound. "Can you hear me? What happened?"

"You...can't." Charlie struggled. "You can't...beat him."

"I can't, but you can take back control." Phoebe said.

Charlie then stood up as the wound vanished.

"Get a hint already Mimic." Charlie said as his hair and eye color changed. "Charlie Snow is dead."

Flashes returned and found herself in a cage.

"What?" Phoebe thought to herself. "Where am I?"

***

"What did you do with her?" Killer Frost asked.

"She's back on Earth 2 where she can't bother us." Frost Assassin replied.

Ian started running towards Frost Assassin, who ran off until they reached the gym.

"No where to run now." Ian said.

Frost Assassin smirked. "Oh Ian, you think I'm just gonna drag you here for nothing?" He asked.

"Ian!" A familiar voice called out.

Ian looked at a girl tied up a the test dummy shredder for training.

"Ruby!" Ian said before turning back towards Frost Assassin. "You are so dead."

"Well there's that or..." Frost Assassin said pointing towards Ruby. "You can help out your girl. Plus it's not like you won't see me again."

A portal opened and Frost Assassin left.

Ian immediately ran towards the machine and got Ruby away.

"Thank you." Ruby said catching her breath.

"When did you get here?" Ian asked.

"I don't know." Ruby said. "Last thing I remember was getting off a plane with Jessica and then...oh no."

"Ruby...what is it?" Ian asked.

Ruby held up her wrist to reveal a mark.

"Not again." Ian said. "We just got out of that."
