Unexpected Chemistry

Believe in the Impossible Pt.2

Cisco was still with Patty showing her his newest inventions. Patty was intrigued but still in shock from Caitlin's name being announced earlier.

"Um...I have a question." She muttered. Cisco looked at her ready to answer. Patty looked down and tucked her hair behind her ear awkwardly. She was scared to even ask.

"You said Snow, earlier...What's their first name?" She finally summoned the courage to say after a long pause. Cisco grabbed a tool and continued working on one of his inventions.

"Caitlin, Caitlin Snow, why?" He answered confused but continuing to work. Patty widened her eyes and shook her head.

"No, there's no way." She murmured before running out of Cisco's lab. Cisco tilted his head and ran after her. Patty ran back to the cortex and saw Barry looking around.

"Barry!" She shouted while running over. Barry looked at her and became puzzled.

"What's wrong, babe?" He asked while holding onto her arms. Patty was out of breath.

"It's Caitlin...she..." She began to say. Barry widened his eyes slightly.

"What?" He questioned. He hadn't heard that name in years. He was scared to see what she was going to say. 'Oh my god, is she dead? Is she in the hospital? What is it?! Oh god...Caitlin...I haven't heard her name since she left...Patty please answer faster.' Those thoughts were rushing through his mind as the feeling of nails went down his back. Before Patty could finish her sentence, Caitlin walked in with Cisco who was also out of breath and trying to speak.

"Cisco, what are you trying to tell me?" She questioned before looking up and seeing him. Immediately, shivers went across her whole body. It was like everything came back to her mind. All of the memories.

Barry parted his lips and couldn't believe what he was seeing. Who he was seeing. Butterflies formed in his stomach and he slowly walked away from Patty. Caitlin did the same with Cisco. Barry walked up to her and Caitlin looked up at him.

"Y-You're here..." She muttered. Barry was befuddled. She was there. Right in front of him. Looking as beautiful as ever. Her hair still auburn. Her eyes still sparkling brown. Her lips still as pink as her rosy cheeks.

"You're here." He mumbled. Caitlin slightly teared up and the two shared a powerful hug. Patty looked down slightly as Cisco stood with a bewildered face.

"Wh-What are you doing here?" Caitlin asked now smiling. Barry chuckled and smiled brightly.

"I-I got struck by lightning!" He replied like nothing. Caitlin widened her eyes.

"What?!" She questioned in worry. Barry shook his head.

Patty walked up to them. Caitlin looked at her.

"Patty, hi!" She calmly greeted still confused about what Barry just said. Patty slightly smiled and looked at Barry. Barry looked at her.

"I'll give you guys a minute." Patty spoke before kissing Barry's cheek and walking away with Cisco. Caitlin smiled. 'Patty...Wow...I'm actually happy for them.' She thought to herself as Barry watched them leave. He then looked back at Caitlin. Caitlin snapped out of her thoughts and looked up at Barry.

"You were struck?" She questioned to get back on track. Barry blinked to snap out of his thoughts and nodded.

"Yes, right! I did. The particle accelerator exploded and the wave lengths formed a storm and the lightning struck me. The wave lengths actually had-"
