Chapter Summary: Takes place in a distant future Flash season (where Cisco has his powers back). Cisco and Caitlin are newly married during the newest 'crossover of the year'. The heroes are fighting a group of aliens that threaten Earth Prime when both Vibe and Frost are doused in some alien sludge. J'onn and Brainy confirm the sludge to be contagious and insist the newlyweds be locked up together until the effects of the goo wear off/aren't contagious anymore. Title from the song "My Heart Goes Boom" by Miss Li

"Nice shot Frost!" Vibe praised his wife, cheering even as he shot his own vibe blast at the alien in front of him. Frost winked at him, not even missing a beat while sliding through the air on her ice and taking out several more aliens. Flash and Kid Flash whizzed past him, throwing some lightning out, and Elongated Man rolled himself like a bowling ball that knocked out several targets.

Across the landscape, their friends and fellow heroes fought their own alien enemies. It was another "crossover of the year crisis" and Team Flash had joined the other heroes to stop the aliens that threatened Earth Prime. Cisco still wasn't really sure what had caused it all, but all he knew was that Supergirl, Director Danvers, Brainiac 5, Dreamer, and Martian Manhunter showed up at Star Labs with news of an invasion crisis from a species of alien that was supposedly supposed to be extinct but yet here they were. (They all suspected it was another quirk of the Crisis that reset the multiverse. Some of the National City crew were insistent that Lex Luthor was behind it.) Soon after, they were joined by Wild Dog, Spartan, Speedy, Arsenal, the Canaries of Star City, the Legends, Black Lightning, and Batwoman as well. They had yet to figure out what the aliens wanted, just that they didn't seem interested in communicating beyond to attack.

Now they were all in the fight of their lives (again) trying to stop the ruthless invaders. It seemed they would gain the upperhand soon enough, if everything went the way it was supposed to anyways.

"Vibe, look out!"

Cisco tensed, ducking just as a stream of ice froze his enemy to death and it shattered into a million pieces. He turned to find Frost gracefully landing on her feet beside him, a worried yet annoyed look on her face. "Thanks, babe." He nodded, reaching out to squeeze her shoulder.

"You're just lucky I've always got your back." She shook her head, rolling her eyes. "By the way, Caity says if you die she's gonna kick your ass. And then after that you're sleeping on the couch - with no sex for at least a month. Longer if she has to stitch up or relocate anything."

Cisco swallowed, shuddering. "Damn . . ."

Frost just shrugged. "Don't shoot the messenger - and no dying. For both our sakes." She held out her hand, more ice propelling outward to shield them from the alien's weapons. He added his vibe blast to reinforce the ice.

"Ha! They're no match for Vibe and Frost!" He shouted.

"You two newlyweds done flirting over there? Or we just gonna let these aliens take over Central City?" Nate laughed, punching out some aliens with his steel fists.

"It's like the honeymoon that never ends with those two, innit?" Constantine grumbled.

Ralph snickered. "They're even worse in the lab."

"They're just jealous." Cisco nudged Frost's hip with his. Frost laughed, and nudged him back.

"Yeah, I think I'm gonna need to bleach my eyes." Kate scoffed.

"We've almost got 'em!" J'onn shouted over the din, flying overhead.

"We--" Cisco was cut off by a pain-filled roar from Frost. His head dropped, eyes widening at the large spear piercing his wife through the thigh all the way down to her calf. "Cai--Fros--Shit!" With one hand he held up a vibrational shield around them, the other holding her up around the waist as she started to fall. "Little help here, guys!"
