The Choice

Chapter 31

"Cait, please don't fall asleep," I said, taking her gently, but she didn't seem to hear what I was saying.

- Caitlin listen well, I'll take you to the lab to take care of you.- Said taking her in his lap slowly so as not to make her situation worse.

"No, take me home... I have everything we need there and I don't want them to worry," Caitlin replied in a weak voice but not closing her eyes which was great.

In an instant we were home and I laid her on the kitchen table at her request. I was lost, I didn't know what to do or how to get a bullet lodged in someone's skin, usually Caitlin.

"Caitlin better take you to the lab ... They'll know what to do ..." he said but she insisted that we were better there.

- I'll guide you and you do ... Barry please help me ... The pain is immense and I can't get Killer Frost's ice powers to activate to close my frida. I need to get the bullet out!

- So what do I do? Where do I start?

- First goes to my room, on the top shelf of my closet, has a suitcase with medical tools, takes the scalpel ... then I'll need alcohol, needles to then put the points and some kind of tweezers to get the bullet.- Caitlin said in pain.

I went to get the things she told me and put on a chair next to us and looked at her.

- You'll start by taking the scalpel and making a cut in the area where the bullet is housed. - Caitlin started and I took the tool.

- Caitlin and anesthesia? Look that it will hurt a lot, I know what I mean.- said worried for her.

"I can't take any, if I do, I won't be able to guide you through the procedure." Barry please make the cut, "Caitlin said in agony.

I took the scalpel with my right hand and made a cut in the area where the bullet was. Caitlin had a lot of pain, because she fought against herself not to scream, even because of our neighbors, but it was becoming a very complicated situation ... Tears came out of her eyes, uncontrollable.

- Now I want you to take the tweezers and extract the bullet from my body and then bake the wound. - Caitlin said and I did it, I tried to do so not to hurt too much but I knew that was not possible so I tried to do the as soon as possible.

POV Caitlin:

"Caity.... Dont!"- KF

I was in the park with the man and suddenly I hear a shot in my direction, but I don't think it hit me... at least I didn't feel anything. Suddenly I felt a pain in my abdomen and looked down and saw blood coming out and the pains were starting to wake up. I felt myself lying on the grass in the park and just heard Barry's voice.

"Caity please answer me!"- KF

"Cait we did it," Barry said from a distance but I could hear more or less what he had said but for some reason had no strength to respond.

"What's up with me?" - C

"You got Caity shot! How do you feel? "- KF

"Weak... I have no strength...." - C

"Cait, please don't fall asleep," Barry said, but he heard his voice as if he were far away from me, though he felt his touch on my skin. !

"No, please take me home ..." I said quietly, almost without strength, explaining that I had everything I needed at home to take care of my problem and that afterwards Killer Frost could close the wound once and for all.

By the way I had the feeling that I was falling asleep, what made me stay awake was Barry's voice talking to me and Killer Frosta's voice asking me to hold on.

"Caity hang on... I know you're strong, we're coming..." -KF

"I'm sleepy, I'll just close my eyes a few minutes" - C

"DON'T DARE YOU, HEARD ?! You have to keep yourself awake, come on we need you! "- KF

In an instant we were home and I felt that Barry had laid me down on the table and when I told him to go get things, he went quickly and started operating under my supervision. It hurt her a lot but it had to be done and with as little noise as possible because my neighbors could not suspect anything. The pain was intense and I often felt like closing my eyes even though Killer Frost told me to stay awake and did so.

I told Barry to take the tweezers and take the bullet out of my body so that I could fix the rest of my wound and he did so. The tears and the pain were becoming more violent but had to be strong and endure the procedure that would soon improve everything.

- Barry now takes the needle, dips in alcohol to disinfect and begins to bake the wound.- said crying. I couldn't control it, it was stronger than me.

After Barry cooked the wound, the pain was still very intense but finally Killer Frost could take care of it and help me with the wound. The power of the ice would close the seam for good and help with the pain.

"Now it's up to you Killer Frost," he said softly but both Barry and Killer Frost listened.

With the power of KF, I could feel the ice on my wound and it hurt a lot but it had to be strong. When she was done, I managed to get back in control of my body and Barry was sitting in the chair next to me.

"Thank you KF" - C

"No need to say thank you, I said I was always here to protect you... but although I closed the stew you will still have pain for a few days... It's normal." - KF

"How are you?" Barry asked, interrupting my telepathic "conversation" with KF.

- Better, still in a lot of pain, but at least with fewer holes. - Said laughing slightly because it still hurt me.

Barry got up and went to clean the things he used to treat me, as well as to wipe off some blood that had fallen to the floor when he landed me on the table. After cleaning up, he picked me up and set me on the couch and sat next to me, turning on the television.

- Hey! Thank you for helping me, "I said without looking at him, but I felt his vision in me.

"You don't have to say thank you, but I still think we should have gone to the lab." There conditions are better than here... But you were very brave nonetheless. "Barry approached me, put his arm behind me and pulled me gently for a hug.

- Sorry why?

"Because you shouldn't have let me have shot you ... You should have left the hiding place earlier."

- Hey! Don't say that... It went well, he's stuck and I'm still alive.- said looking at me, but he just looked down, so I went with my hand and forced him to look in my eyes.- You saved- Barry me life, never forget that!
