The Flash - Alternative Lives, New Destines

Chapter 10: The Hunt for Barry...

Note: I don't own this picture for the chapter, I merely found it, REALLY liked it and thought it was amazing/fitted the chapter, and honestly if this does belong to anyone who reads this chapter then this is amazing and you are really good so keep up the amazing work!

It was a bad time all around emotions wise in S.T.A.R. Labs, both with Team Flash and those close to them...

The whole room was completely in silence, with only a few of the machines and pieces of tech being the only noise-like thing in the area that they were in, and more than a few hearts and feelings having been crushed and shattered multiple times over within the last few hours.

Why? Well...because of what had happened no more than 4 hours prior - something that had occurred minutes after Barry had seemingly stabilized, then had gone into a state of shock...and then the events that had occurred after he had stabilized again once again.....

A Few Hours Later - Just after Barry had stabilised minutes after going into shock:

*Note: There is some repetition from the end of the last chapter.

Caitlin turned her head, and saw that the bleeding began to stop, as did Barry's violent spasms and shaking...but what was terrifying was that this only occurred when a patch of ice appeared briefly over the area where Barry was stabbed by Reverse Flash with the spike, leaving only a scar where the wound once was!

"H-How...?" she began to say...before looking up, and seeing that, to hers and Cisco's shock...that Joe had Barry's power dampening necklace in his hand - Joe having snapped it off from around Barry's neck.

"What did you do...?" was all Cisco could say in response to that...but they didn't get a chance to listen to Joe's answer.

The temperature around the room began to get colder, and soon an icy fog-like mist began to appear from Barry's hands to the floor...and then, his eyes eyes opened - revealing the icy blue eyes that belonged not to Barry, but to his icy cold alter ego, Killer Frost! - and immediately afterwards, his entire body was covered in an icy mist that sent all three of them flying in multiple directions - crashing into glass or equipment instantly!

And then, the icy pale and scarred faced body of Savitar, aka Killer Frost, began to appear from within the icy fog, smirking his dark smile as he blasted icy energy around the room, simply saying one thing as he did so: "I'm...BACK!!!"

Cisco and Joe began to slowly make their way up to their feet - grimacing a bit as they did get up from their rather uncomfortable landing from Killer Frosts attack not that many moments ago. Caitlin though took longer to awaken, as she herself had been knocked into an unconscious state temporarily from Frosts re-awakening!

Frost smirked sadistically as he stretched his arms out in a random direction, and unleashed powerful blasts of cold, icy energy from the palm of his hands into random directions where that his arms stretched out to - not because he was choosing to, but because he simply needed to see if his potential had not weakened in the time he had been locked away since the encounter with Reverse Flash around about Christmas time.

Either way, he laughed at what he was doing like a madman!

Cisco and Joe barely managed to avoid this random exertion of power, but this in tow caught the attention of Iris and Wally West, and Detective Eddie Thawne - the latter of which ran into the room where Savitar was on instinct alone to try to stop him whilst the West siblings attempted to help Cisco and Joe, despite the fact that none of the three who had just arrived were aware of what the icy meta-human could do.
