Stuck in the Past

Chapter 11

- Cisco I need you to come here and open a portal for STAR Labs quickly. Cailtin was hit and it looks serious! - exclaimed Barry over the intercom in a matter of seconds Ralf, Cisco and the two teenagers were already inside the store.

"Where's the girl?" Asked Barry, seeing that there were no signs of the girl who had been hostage.

- Joe went to take her to the hospital to see if everything was okay.

Barry just nodded and then focused his attention on Caitlin who was in a state between conscious and unconscious. Cisco quickly opened the portal and when they reached STAR Labs, Harry came to get Caitlin to take her to the infirmary. While Ralf and I went to take the metas to the cells, Cisco accompanied Harry to start treating Caitlin's injury.

CCPD:

In turn, Henry was finishing analyzing traces of soil when he realized the confusion that was in the shopping center. Henry wasn't sure why, but he had a feeling that something wasn't right ... It was as if his sixth sense was telling him that something was wrong!

Of course, his suspicions were confirmed when he saw that Joe had entered the CCPD with a pistol and an air of concern. Henry took off his gloves, put down the soil samples, and went running to Joe.

- Is everything okay, Joe? You look worried.

- It's nothing kid, don't worry, - Joe replied, trying to hide his concern, but Henry knew something else was going on.

- Don't lie to me Joe! Is it something to do with my parents?

Joe didn't respond and Henry knew that his silence only proved that something had actually happened to his parents.

- Joe, please ... Tell me what's going on? Is it my father?

- Your mother was hit.

- But she is OK? Is it serious? "Henry asked worriedly.

Joe just looked at the boy with sad eyes and Henry knew it was not a good sign. Henry ran to the captain and asked to leave early due to personal problems. Then he and Joe headed towards STAR Labs, but as soon as they left the CCPD, they saw Dawn coming with a small bag.

- What are you doing here, Dawn?

-I managed to leave early and took the opportunity to bring a snack to my big brother.- she replied smiling, but after seeing her brother's sadness / concern tone, she was confused.- Is everything okay?

- Mom...

- Mom what? What's wrong with her? Thomas Henry Snow Allen, tell me now what is going on with our mom."Asked Dawn, getting worried.

- We have to go to STAR Labs quickly ... I'll tell you along the way. - Henry replied and the three got in Joe's car and went to STAR Labs.

When they got there, they went straight to the infirmary, where they saw their mother lying on the bed and around her were Cisco and Harry trying to control the bloodshed.

"Kids, what are you doing here?" Asked Barry, surprised to see his two children there.

- Joe brought us. Will she be okay? "Henry asked, looking at his unconscious mother's body.

- Of course, she is the strongest woman in the world.- Ralf replied this time, showing a small smile.

Suddenly the machine was heard making a noise, which meant that Caitlin was going down.

- Cisco starts doing the compressions ... Ralf brings us the defibrillator, - said Harry.

The first use of the defibrillator had not worked. Harry reloaded and used it again. Henry, Barry and Dawn were awake for Caitlin's vitals to return.

"She won't die again, will she?" Asked Dawn crying and Barry went to hug her.

- Everything will be fine, my love.

"Mom, please don't die again ... I can't live without you!" Exclaimed Henry with a few tears and went to wrap himself in his father's arms.

After the third use of the defibrillator, the machine stopped beeping and Caitlin's vital signs had returned. Twenty minutes later, Harry and Cisco had already removed the bullet that was in Caitlin's abdomen and now she just needed to rest.

"When is she going to wake up?" Asked Dawn.

"In a few hours," replied Harry, smiling.

- Let's let your mother rest.

"I want to stay here by her side," said Henry.

"Me too!" Exclaimed Dawn.

"We do it like that, it's fifteen minutes each," said Barry.

The first was Dawn, who sat in the chair that was on the edge of her mother's bed, while the rest of the staff returned to the control room.

- I heard now that the people who were injured have already returned to their homes, - said Joe.

- She saved me ...- said Barry and everyone looked at him with an air of confusion.- She stepped in front of me and that's why she was hit. The bullet was fired at me.

- Caitlin does everything to protect you, Barry.

- She's just in that bed unconscious because I was caught in the middle of the storm. If that hadn't happened, she wouldn't have been hit.

- Barry, it wasn't your fault.

- Son if I had been stronger, she was not in this state .... Sorry! I couldn't protect her, "said Barry, shedding tears.

- Hey dad, stop it. Do not slaughter yourself anymore because you were not to blame for what happened. Mom is fine and that is what matters now!

At the end of the fifteen minutes, Dawn appeared in the control room and Henry went to his mother's side.
