Cisco met up with Caitlin the next day; both feeling better after the sickness leaving them. The two sat down at one of the restaurants near S.T.A.R. Labs, sipping at their coffees; avoiding conversation awkwardly. Caitlin had told Cisco over the phone that Ronnie somehow was back from the dead; Cisco quickly had the idea to meet up before they got back to work.

"Are you feeling better?" Caitlin asked, picking at her chocolate muffin in her index finger and thumb after she finished her coffee. Cisco still looked down at his half empty mug, not knowing how to bring up the Ronnie situation.

"Yeah, are you," Cisco began, turning his attention up to now be face to face with her. "Feeling any better?"

"Yes, I am," Caitlin quickly answered, almost too quickly. "Better than ever in fact."

Cisco narrowed his eyes at Caitlin's words. Actually, Caitlin was looking a lot better than she had in a long time, her complexion was returning from being very pale to having some colour back, her eyes were not as dull and she even seemed to smile more. Cisco just guessed it was from Ronnie being back.

"We should probably get to work," Cisco gulped down the rest of his drink, the bitter bits of coffee beans settled at the bottom made him screw his face up. The pair walked up to the S.T.A.R. Labs building, silent for the whole way. Ronnie was standing at the entrance, a smile on his face when his friend and girlfriend appeared in his sight.

"Hey," he called out, hugging them both. The group went down to find Barry in the labs, shocking Caitlin and Cisco.

"What are you doing here?" Caitlin asked, moving over to Barry and holding her friend close in her arms. She sensed Ronnie looking at them, glaring. Barry slowly retracted his arms from Caitlin's waist to his sides.

"Barry, this is Ronnie, Ronnie, this is my friend Barry." The two men shook hands, Ronnie dug his thumb nail into the top of Barry's hand enough to feel, but not so much that Barry would yell in pain.

"Nice to meet you," Barry let his hand slid from the grip, he tried to not draw attention to Ronnie not liking him for some reason.

"So what have you been up to here?" Ronnie moved his arm around Caitlin's shoulder, pulling her closer to him. "Not trying to get the particle accelerator without me, I hope."

It was a joke, one that made nervous laughs from the group, and a slight frown on the face of Ronnie. Caitlin suddenly felt warmer than she had, not realising she felt cold.

"Ronnie," Wells was pleasantly surprised when he entered, rolling in with a smile on his face. A rare sight from the usual frown or worried look that his face wore. Ronnie looked unpleased at his presence. "It's good to see you, Mr Raymond."

"You two, Dr Wells," Ronnie replied, his hand across Caitlin's shoulders grip her arm tightly.

Caitlin's hand turned to fists slowly, rage of Ronnie surging through her body from his touch. Her fingers burnt, as she released them.

"Caitlin," Cisco yelled, and everyone stepped back as Caitlin had somehow shot some kind of blue fire from her fingertips. The stream of the blue flame crystallised; the trail starting one the floor in a once liquified puddle, ending only a few centre metres from her fingertips. Ronnie's hand grazed on her back before moving to the back of her neck.

"What the hell was that?" Ronnie asked in a whisper, his free hand reaching out to touch the end of the ice. It melted, a small whisp of fire appearing on the end of his index finger.

"And what the hell was that?" Barry asked, loudly. He stabbed a finger at the couple, asking the one thing no one else wanted to. "How are you even alive?"

"I just am," Ronnie replied, annoyed at the questions. Barry groaned, a million and one questions filling his brain. All activity stopped at the sight of Caitlin; her hair was discoloured.

"Your hair and skin, Cat," Cisco said, his thumb and index finger holding her hand by her thumb. Her skin began to turn blue, the rest being very pale as if Caitlin was still sick.

"That was why you were, are, so cold," Caitlin's fingers of her hand she snatched away from Cisco intertwined with Ronnie's.

"Has anything strange happened with you?" Dr Wells inquired to Cisco, the young man smirked as he nodded.

"Watch," Cisco raised his left hand, small ripples only just visible as they waved through the air. The shock wave sent a computer monitor crashing onto the floor, as it fell backwards. Cisco smiled widely, before he turned back to the damage. "I'll get that fixed."

"Yes, once we figure out the full scope of all of your powers," Barry widened his eyes in shock, looking down at Dr Wells. They didn't even know the extent of Barry's powers, and now they had more metahumans to experiment and test. No, he didn't like this happening to his friends, and a stranger he just met. Or the look Dr Wells had in his eyes that almost reflected the simultaneous emotions of joy and anger.

A.N. This was the BIG thing I was building to. Ronnie is back, Caitlin and Cisco have powers and Barry might not b too happy. Even Wells might be on the fence about this. I wanted to also bring something to attention, I want Felicity to be with someone. Now, I have a list and to anyone that comments on this story (especially if you're on fanfiction.net then please try to PM me) and I will leave a few days before I update again to give it time to let you all have your say.

Comment one of the numbers to me;

1. Roy

2. Ray

3. Sara

4. Other (leave me a message or comment to tell me who you think it should be)

If you want Saa, then I'm considering bringing her back to life, either with the Lazuras Pit or with someone very special giving part of their life (by accident) to resurrect Sara (similar to how Green Arrow was brought back in the comic book series when he died).

Ayways, to all you crazy, beautiful people that love this story, I love you all, and I just wanted to say thank you for making this one of my fastest growing stories ever, and that I do love you all very much. We are apart of a very great fandom, we all should be proud to support one another.
