Caitlin pov
"Mom is crying in her room because of you! What's wrong with you!" Nora yelled as she bolted in my house facing Dawn angrily.
I shook my head confused at her suddenly appearing in front of my kitchen out of thin air.
"First of all she's YOUR mom don't forget that. Second, this is not your house so you have no right just speeding your way in here UNINVITED!" Dawn said digging her fingers into Nora shoulders pushing her back.
"Calm down you two!" I said sternly placing myself in between them as a barrier.
"Stay out of this Auntie Cait this is all your fault!" Nora said bitterly.
"Don't talk to my mom like that" Dawn said angrily as I pushed her back trying to create a safe distance between the two speedsters.
"She's the reason why mom is drowning in her own tears!" Nora said glaring at me taking a dangerous step towards me.
"Take another step Nora and I will freeze your legs to the floor" Dawn threaten angrily looking at her.
"I'd like to see you try!" Nora laughed dryly.
"Stop! No one is fighting right now!" I said.
"Too bad because I came here with all intentions of kicking her ass" Nora said her eyes flashing with red electric energy.

Before I could even blink I was thrown across the room, my back aching in pain as it made contact with the brick wall by my fireplace

Before I could even blink I was thrown across the room, my back aching in pain as it made contact with the brick wall by my fireplace.
I gasped in pain as I turned to my side.
I could see blue and red lighting colliding with one another.
"Oh god" I whispered anxiously grabbing my phone and dialing  Barry's number.
"Hey Cait! What's up?" Barry asked over the phone.
"Nora and Dawn are fighting and I don't know how to stop them with their speed" I said wincing in pain.
Barry was in my front step before I finished my sentence. He took a quick second to analyze the situation before he scanned the room for me.
He was by my side in seconds wrapping his arms me to lift me up.
"Cait" he whispered in concern.
"I'm fine I think I just dislocated my shoulder" I winced as he careful lifted me up.
"Stop them please" I said as he scanned me for any injuries.
"I'll be fine go!" I said at his hesitance.
"I'll be right back" he whispered as he joined the swirl of lighting. Soon after they stop vibrating rapidly enough for my eyes to see their silhouette.
"ENOUGH!" He yelled angrily pulling Nora away from Dawn.
Barry frowned in confusion as he noticed Dawn eyes glowing in blue electric energy but snapping back to the more pressing matter at hand.

"What is wrong with you two? Are you guys insane?" Barry yelled angrily looking back and forth between the two speedsters"She–" Nora started arguing before Barry interrupted her"I don't want to hear it Nora!" He said coldly looking at her in disap...

"What is wrong with you two? Are you guys insane?" Barry yelled angrily looking back and forth between the two speedsters
"She–" Nora started arguing before Barry interrupted her
"I don't want to hear it Nora!" He said coldly looking at her in disappointment.
"You guys could've done some serious damage" he said angrily waving his arms around my house.
"Nora threw Caitlin across the room what was I suppose to do just stand there?" Dawn argued angrily.
"You were suppose to be better! Do better. Violence is not the answer" Barry said angrily.
"Dad-I'm sorry-" Nora stuttered with teary eyes.
"Don't you dare start with your fake crocodile tears" Dawn laughed drily.
"You've always done that since we are kids, some lame tears to earn Dad's pity" Dawn said bitterly.
"You're just jealous that Dad and I are closer" Nora bit back throwing daggers with her eyes.
"Oh my–" Dawn started
"Enough! I don't want to hear another word from you guys. I'm taking Cait to S.T.A.R labs and when I come back this place better be spotless" He said harshly speeding to my side
"Come on Cait. Let me help you" he said holding me.
"Ow ow ow" I winced in pain.
"I'm sorry I'm sorry" he whispered lifting me as carefully as possible.
"Let me help you" Dawn offered
"No you've done enough as it is" Barry said disappointingly and with one last look took off to S.T.A.R labs.
He sat me carefully as he looked at me with a concern expression.
"Can you hand the X-ray machine" I asked softly and he quickly handed it to me.
"Okay point it at me" I instructed as I look at the screen in front of me.
"3 fractured ribs and a dislocated shoulder" I said as I read the scan.
"Caitlin I'm really sorry I don't know why Nora would do such a thing" Barry apologize sitting in a chair by my side.
"Barry Dawn was just trying to protect me. She didn't want to fight Nora" I said after a minute of silence.
"She should've known better" Barry argued sighing.
"They were both emotional and impulsive but they're kids Barry. They're still learning don't be so harsh on them" I reasoned.
"You're the one that got the bitter end of this mess and here you are defending them Cait" he shook his head with a small grin.
"My ribs will heal and no one got seriously hurt which means one less person I have to patch up. Win win" I smiled softly trying to cheer him up.
"Well now I have to take care of you Dr. Snow" Barry smiled.
"Well sadly I can't pop my shoulder back to place on my own so you have to do it for me" I rolled my eyes.
"What do you mean by sadly'? I'll have you know I'm a great Doctor" he said standing up to be by my side.
"I'll beg to differ. Now place both hands on my wrist and rotate my arm 90 degrees and then lift my arm 120 degrees in one swift motion" I said taking a deep breath and turning my head to the side.
"This is gonna hurt Cait" he warned.
"I know" I said closing my eyes tightly
I let a soft painful groan as I felt my shoulder moving back in it's place.
"You okay?" He asked searching my eyes for confirmation.
"Yes yes I'm fine can you please get me a sling?" I asked pointing at the compartment with all the medical equipment
"Second drawer" I said and he did as he was told.
He carefully placed around me making sure he was as gentle as possible.
"What now Dr. Snow?" He asked.
"Well there is not much I can do about my ribs, I just need to let them heal on their own. Maybe get me an ice pack and some pain killers to ease the pain" I instructed.
"I'll be back" he said and returned with an ice bag, water bottle and medication.
"Thank you" I said wincing as I gulped down some water.
"Times like these, I'm really grateful for Killer Frost's healing powers" I laughed lightly before wincing.
"Ow. Maybe trying not to laugh would help me" I said to myself and Barry chuckled.
"Yeah maybe that would help" Barry agreed.
"Thank you" I smiled kindly.
"You've taken care of me plenty of times, it's about time I return the favor" He said sweetly grabbing my hand and caressing it gently with his thumb.
"I just wished it was an evil meta human who hurt you and not my own daughter" he sighed sadly.
"Barry she was just upset about her mother. I don't blame her" I said softly.
"Look about Iris, she didn't mean to snap at you earlier, she was just frustrated. Dawn has been pushing her away ever since she came here and I guess seeing how well you and Dawn get along  made it harder for her" Barry apologized.
"Well I'm sure Dawn wouldn't purposefully hurt Iris. But I don't think it's right of Iris to ask me to push Dawn away because of their personal issues. If Iris has a problem, then she should talk to Dawn instead of demanding me to keep my distance from her" I said frowning from frustration.
"I know I agree with you and that's exactly what I told Iris. It isn't fair to you." He agreed giving me a comforting smile.
"Thanks Barry" I smiled back.
"Of course Cait" he said giving me a gentle side hug before we changed the topic and started laughing about some random joke he made.
