Polar opposite {Snowbarry}

Personal

Caitlin sat on the bed chewing her thumb nail nervously as she thought. Barry could return any moment to come and collect his 'prize' for date night and she had no clue what to do.

She didn't even know why she brought him back here so abruptly. They were having a sophisticated conversation and Barry was NOT like her other tinder dates after Ronnie.

She would text for an hour and tell them to meet her in a hotel room. They'd have sex and she'd forget them, block the number and never call again but Barry was much different. He actually cared about her and wanted to date her.

She wondered if she should tell him about those nine months before they knew each other- well before Barry was awake. Caitlin spent her free time at nights learning what she could about the mystery man in a coma.

She wanted to help him and the best way to do that was to make sure he would be comfortable when he woke. Poker face, joggers, sleeping shirtless to air his pits- well that's what she told Cisco at least...

She mostly just admired his newly acquitted abs. But off topic! She heard the heavy knock at her door and then she stood up quickly. "please don't be him"

She speed walks to the door then she stops and takes a slow breath before opening it. Cisco stood at her doorway a Bloody hand on his lower abdomen while breathing raggedly. His looks up at her face before coughing up blood and then collapsing "Cisco!" She yelled then tried to catch his body.

"Oh my god... oh my god!" She applied pressure to his lower stomach with both hands and then she looks to his face "you're gonna be Okay... wake up Cisco.." she pulled her hand back slightly to see the blood was still spewing then she quickly grabbed his phone and clicked it on.

"Siri! call Barry Allen!" She practically screams and the phone does as it's told.

After a few rings it finally picks up "yo Cisco... Joe has been calling you for like-"

" Barry- its Caitlin!" His voice stops on the other end then she grabs the nearest piece of cloth which happened to be her jacket and continued

" I'm at my house, Cisco just collapsed in my doorway, and- and he's bleeding out I need you to take him to a hospital" she pressed the cloth into his abdomen holding it firmly.

The phone hung up and then a second later Barry came thundering into her house " move out of the way- let me take him" she moves her hands and then she stood up as Barry sped out of the room holding his best friend.

She looks down at her bloody hands then she looks back up hearing the whoosh "lets go" he said before lifting her and speeding her to the hospital as well.

" did you call Cynthia?" He asked as they sat in the waiting room now. She nods not looking at him still. They sat side by side in a similar haunched over position as Cisco was in surgery.

Barry looked at the blood in his white shirt and then to her hands and he stood up slowly " I'm gonna go get something for your hands..." she gave a gentle nod watching him leave then she looked back down.

The answer was plain and simple now. She would tell him about her rather active past... and more active present... she remembered how awful she felt whenever her one night stand would leave after Iris and Barry got married. Hell she ever remembered that one guy from after their powers were switched.

Hate sex.

She stuck with him for a while since he was considerably... sized in his southern area.

She's shaken from her thoughts as Cynthia came speed walking in, she wore some sweat pants and a black long sleeve shirt and her hair looked rather disheveled. She had to have been asleep before this, because those were not bounty hunter approved clothes.

"Caitlin" She said before catching the girl in a tight hug. "Cisco- is he okay?" She whispers.

Cynthia's body was trembling and her grip tight, she was very strong for such a petite figure. " he's still in surgery so that's good because it means he's still alive" Cynthia pulls back a little and Caitlin repeats herself " he is alive..."

Barry walks back down the hallway holding a towel and water bottle. His eyes dart to the left where he saw a doctor approaching Caitlin and Cynthia So he speed walked over.

"Family of Francesco Ramon?" Caitlin nods and Barry put his hand on her shoulder as the doctor continued slowly.

"There was a complication.... whatever he was stabbed with.. was poisoned..." his face drops and Barry shakes his head quickly " was there five marks? Like- like a puncture marks?" The doctor looks at him while nodding.

"His body had an allergic reaction and... his heart stopped" Cynthia gasped and she shook her head. Caitlin just stares at him heart broken.

" I... I need you to say it..." Cynthia whispers coldly. Though tears were streaming down her face in a constant flow her glare was strong on his face. " I need you to say the words doc..."

He looked to Barry and then back to Cynthia "Cisco died from the poison in his blood stream..." Cynthia closed her eyes and she stifled a sob.

Caitlin pulls her into a hug so she knew this was not a dream. She hoped it was. She couldn't loose Cisco. He was better then all of them.

But it was in fact real. From the sobbing of his mourning girlfriend to Barry's incessant pacing. This was very real.

***

Later that night at S.T.A.R Labs....

Cynthia sat in the rolling chair one of Cisco's shirts pressed into her nose her eyes closed tightly. Barry was staring at his vibe goggles and Caitlin was watching the news stories for an update on the meta killer.

Cynthia tunes in and she glanced at Barry then back to the news. "If anyone has any news on this murder please call the police station.. again signs to look for before it becomes lethal, injection of five claws into your left lower abdomen... and lethargy.." Caitlin looks over at Cynthia while she spoke angrily.

"Meta killer?" She scoffs then she stood up wrapping and arm around herself "somebody did this to my Cisco because they are a meta killer?" Barry turns to look at her now.

" no... bullshit this- this is personal now... we're going to find this son of a bitch... and we're gonna make them pay..." Barry looks to Caitlin wide eyed then he looked back at Cynthia with a slow sigh.
