I’ve heard of your RF!Morgan AU. Haven’t exactly checked it out on AO3 so pls forgive me. Does it include her becoming all like her dad EoWells? Like descending down a darker path than heroic?
It’s not on AO3 yet, no worries! It’ll be a while until I actually write it 😅 the stuff about the AU is mostly confined to the “rf!morgan” tag (included in the tags of this post so you can check it out). And yep, it involves her becoming the successor to the Reverse Flash!
The basic idea of the story is as follows: Morgan gets speedster powers and is trained earnestly by Eowells, who also strategically isolates her from the rest of the Team so she can only fully rely on him…and Tina, much to his chagrin. She’s basically his sword, carrying out some of the murders he needs to commit. A living weapon, so to speak (as you can imagine, this screws with her head during and post-s1)
Things come to a head when he kills Tina, later reveals his true identity to Morgan, and she kills him—to avenge Tina, and to protect Team Flash. She’s horrified at having killed her father, Barry comes upon the scene, and she panics and flees. I haven’t quite decided why she takes on the surname “Thawne” and the mantle of Reverse Flash, but it happens between s1 and s2. Key to remember is that unlike the main AU (and most of the spin-offs), Morgan is not close with anyone on Team Flash by this point—Eowells has made sure of that.
Beyond that, it’s mostly a bunch of question marks 😅 tho I do plan on Savitar recruiting her in s3 (possibly in addition to KF), planning only to use her, while she’s planning to double-cross him. It doesn’t quite turn out that way though—after all, they have a mutual enemy…perhaps even moreso as the season goes on 👀

It's still Sunday here - barely - so here's a Six Sentence Sunday.
First, the sequel to Closer and Closer Still. It's unnamed as of yet and opens with Eobard having run back home after Barry kissed him for the first time (at the end of chapter 1 of Closer and Closer Still). He is freaking out, though Eobard would never admit it.
“I can’t stay. I can’t be a hero. I can’t… I can’t be his.” Eobard’s voice shook at the last words.
It was as though this timeline had twisted into a fun house mirror reflection of the fantasies Eobard had once held, when he was still young, innocent, and naive. He’d imagined finding the Flash and being mentored by him or being his equal. In his more… lonely and amorous moments, he’d dared to dream of the Flash as his lover, older and more experienced. Willing to guide Eobard’s passion in every sense.
Eobard is telling himself, of course, that he can't afford the distraction when his goal is to go back home. But, of course, what does he really have to look forward to go back to? Barry might not have to work as hard as he thinks to give Eobard reasons to want to stay...
I've also started on a show finale Westhallen fix-it - my second fix fic after the Eobard/Savitar crackfic I posted up the other day - where the fic opens with establishing that Barry's in love with Eddie and still feels that way after all these years. So does Iris.
Barry had visited Eddie's grave probably more times than was healthy that first summer after Eddie died.  It was an empty grave, but it had Eddie's name on it and... Barry'd confessed a lot of things he'd been too afraid to say before.
How much he'd admired Eddie.  How much he missed the way Eddie said his name, called him 'Bar' in a way he could now barely stand for anyone to say. How much he'd loved Eddie.  Still loved him even now, all these years after saying the words, finally, to an empty grave.
Barry had told Iris, later.  After they'd moved in together and Iris had been hesitating to put out some of the things that had been Eddie's.  He'd been making a mess of things, before Eddie died.  Because his own feelings had been a mess.  And he'd realized far too late that he was almost as in love with Eddie as he'd already been with Iris.
The first part will probably be a bit Barry & Eddie heavy as they try to figure out a way to deal with the N!SF without Eddie dying or developing the temper issues Eobard and Nora 1.0 suffered from. I want them both there with Iris when Nora 2.0 is born. Then Iris can give Eddie a speech that refutes what she said in canon because S1 Iris loved Eddie - she said screw the future and she meant it. The future she and Barry are going to have together may be something she wants to fight for now, but she wants to fight for Eddie to be a part of that future too.
I may wind up splitting this up into a series, which each part focused on a different aspect of the Westhallen fix-it. And I've got ideas for integrating Eddie into Team Flash - I see Mark not liking Eddie and, oh shit, I'm gonna have to try to write Mark at least somewhat sympathetically aren't I? *swears quietly* I guess I'll figure that out later. Caitlin, at least, will be happy to have Eddie back and alive. After Khione ascends to hang out with the Ancients from Stargate and Caitlin gets her body back, anyway. Though, of course, she's gonna have big feelings about Eddie being back when Ronnie came back but wasn't really Ronnie and Frost died for it. So happy for Eddie, but wary about his N!SF connections too.

Belén and Joe desperately tried to see the force that held Barry against the wall but try as they might, they just couldn't. Anais, on the other hand, was terrified and awed. Her eyes glowed her golden hue and she directed heat beams at the metallic armor of the unknown enemy but it was like a minor cut. If anything, it just agitated the enemy even more. In a flash of a second, it was in front of Anais, grabbing her by the neck. She was thrown across the room, landing on a table which then turned and crashed on the ground.
The armored enemy returned for Barry in less than half a second. Barry could say he didn't even feel when he was briefly let go for Anais. "What the hell are you?" Despite his struggles, Barry couldn't free himself from the grasp around his neck.
"You may serve the speed force, Flash, but I rule it," the metallic armor responded. "You are only a man, but I am a god. Your god. I am Savitar."
Kill us! Get it! Or get out! Belén struggled to breathe in regularly. The voices - sentient as ever - were squirming with the fear of death and wanted to make it known.
"Alchemy!" Joe, at this point, didn't know where to aim his gun but Alchemy made it easier since he was making an escape with the stone that crystalized Wally.
"STOP!" Belén screamed, however for the others it was on behalf of Barry, but she really needed the voices to be quiet or she would lose her sanity there and then.
"Let's go for a run, and give her some space," Savitar said to Barry then zoomed out of the place with him.
Belén dropped to her knees and looked around at the mess they'd created. She screwed her eyes shut when the voices echoed for them to leave.

From the cortex, the others tried to get ahold of Barry but were stumped to find him virtually all over the city.
"The suit's tracker must be malfunctioning," Cisco tried to get in touch with Barry himself. "It says he's appearing and reappearing all over the city at once, and that's impossible. He can't be moving that fast."
"Well if he can't, maybe something else can…?" Iris nervously watched the blinking dot meant to be Barry go in and out of appearance in every corner of the street map.
"What about the others?" Caitlin murmured as she switched to the comms. They might not have visuals on the subway but their communications were still intact. "Belén? What's happened over there?"
"I-I messed up, Caitlin!" Belén was quick to respond and let her frantic state be felt from across the city. "S-something took Barry! And it hurt Anais! Wally too - I don't know! I just don't know!"
"I got it!" Cisco cheered with his arms in the air. "Whatever it is, it stopped at the waterfront!"
"We have to get to him," Iris looked between the two considerably.
"Anais is down and I...I don't think I can reach them," Belén sounded on the verge of tears. They had yet to know what happened to Wally because she messed up.
"Cisco, you can open a breach and get you both to the waterfront," Iris thought of instead since this was a clear emergency.
"Guys, I can't," Caitlin gulped just by looking at her hands. "It's too dangerous."
"I'm begging you. Please!"
~ 0 ~
"Still alive down there?" Savitar's taunt came through the raspy, drawling voice of his his armor. Even as Barry tried getting up, Savitar forced him to stay put with a foot on him. "You are only a shadow beneath my throne. You are the past, whereas I... I am the future, Flash."
A breach opened up across them and out jumped Cisco and Caitlin. Cisco lost his balance with the source of energy he just pulled for the breach.
Caitlin wiggled her fingers and looked up ahead but all she saw was Barry in midair. "I can't see it!"
"Just do it!" cried Killer Frost in Caitlin's mind. Even as she shivered from it, she fired a large quantity of ice, probably more than she ever created since she got the powers. It encapsulated Savitar's form and made it visible for her and was able to feel the deep cold through Savitar's grasp.
Barry heard the cracking of the ice and the next he knew, he dropped to the ground. Savitar had disappeared. Cracks of ice sprawled underneath Barry's form, but otherwise he felt he would manage to pull himself up with Caitlin's support.
"Oh, boy. I'm gonna feel that tomorrow. Ah," Cisco groaned as Caitlin helped him stand. "That was a new and painful use of my powers." Caitlin rubbed his arm and looked back to Barry. "Are you okay?"
"Yeah, I'm okay. I'm just cold," Barry nodded them. "Thanks for coming."

"Barry, you're already healing. You should be fine soon," Caitlin moved over to the x-rays she'd taken from Cisco, the man lying on a bed with a hand on his forehead. "Um, Cisco, the MRI I did of your brain shows changes in the capillary morphology similar to that of a mini-stroke. I wouldn't try an intra-dimensional breach like that anytime soon."
Cisco nearly went pale as he sat upright. "Okay, okay. Mini-stroke? You can't just gloss over that like that, okay? What does that... what does that mean? Am I gonna have this migraine for the rest of my life?"
"It means you should take a few aspirin and you'll be fine," Caitlin reassured him his health.
"Oh. Well, just lead with that next time!"
"Cait, I know what a risk you took using your powers," Barry stopped her just as she was leaving the side room. "Thank you."
"I didn't do anything..." Caitlin said sheepishly.
"Well, you saved my life."
"You've saved mine plenty of times. I'm gonna go check on Wally," Caitlin turned to finally leave. As she walked on, her eyes flickered silver to dark. Let me out, Caity…
~ 0 ~
Shortly later, Belén and Anais had joined the group in the cortex, each one looking worse for wear in their own way.
"Anais, you're okay?" Cisco asked, much kinder than before now that he knew where his dampeners had actually gotten to.
Anais knew this and scowled at him in return. "You care?"
Cisco figured he had that well earned. "I said I was sorry—"
"Keep saying it, then," she walked past him to her folded suit left on a chair.
"What are you doing?" Barry asked, curiously watching her get the suit.
"I'm leaving," she announced sharply.
"What - now? You're choosing to leave now?" Cisco blinked. Just when he was beginning to like her a bit more.
"Caitlin said I finished with my tests and Barry said I could leave whenever I wanted to after that. Well, I want to leave now," Anais informed them and walked up to them. She didn't quite care for the group's reaction. "No offence, but I didn't come here to sign up for another war."
"Uh, no, you just stole the passageway of another man," Cisco reminded him but it did no good for the case.
"Here," Anais handed Barry a card with a number on it. "I'm not disappearing, but I...I just don't want to be here anymore. I just got out of a war, I can't get into another one. You understand, right?"
Barry gave a nod without the intention of pleading her to stay. Unfortunately, he could understand what Anais was trying to say. In the end, this was their problem with Savitar and Alchemy, not hers.
"Iris got me the cellphone, I will answer if you call, I swear," Anais stepped around Barry and stopped by Belén. "Please take care of yourself, okay?" Belén meekly nodded and rubbed her arm. Anais was sure there was something Belén wasn't saying but who was she to start asking questions? All Anais wanted to do was get the hell out of there before something targeted her next.
"Well, there's your daughter!" Cisco gestured after Anais once she was gone, eyes set on Barry and Belén. "You're not going to stop her!?"
Belén shrugged at Cisco. "What do you want us to do? Call her to come back and fight a battle that's not hers?"
Barry tucked the card with the number inside his pocket. "Maybe she's making the right call, alright? Let's just give her some space."
Cisco wasn't even going to waste more breath on the matter. "Fine, whatever. So what was that thing in the waterfront, anyways? All frozen and whatnot."
"I don't know. But now we know Alchemy is just the lackey," Barry said. "Whatever that thing was, it's what we're really up against."
"So why couldn't any of us see it?" Belén asked. "Joe and I, we-we tried but...there was nothing." Of course maybe she would have seen more things if she wasn't dealing with the insanity going on in her head.
"Maybe it was a speedster thing?" Cisco offered, even though there was no clear explanation for it. "I mean, Anais saw it, right?"
"Maybe, but I think he's more than a speedster," Barry admitted. "I mean, when he had me, it wasn't like we were even moving; it was just like, 'bam!' we were instantly somewhere different, even from my perspective."
"Did he say anything else?"
"He said his name was Savitar."
"Nice name," Belén said distractedly. She felt the echo of pain on the side of her head.
"Bells…" Barry stepped towards her but she sniffed and nodded to the threshold.
Belén blinked at Barry, her face flushing when she realized she wasn't paying attention again. "Uh, Wally's still...I'm so sorry." She shook her head and rushed out of the cortex.
Barry was exhausted and yet this single moment felt even worse than him getting punched by Savitar. Whatever was going on with Belén was distancing them again and the last time that happened, Belén almost didn't come back from it.
~ 0 ~
A few hours had passed by since they brought Wally back and since then, Caitlin had performed a series of tests to see his condition. Her news wasn't relatively the best except that Wally wasn't entirely dead.
Belén heard the whole news and couldn't take the guilt. She cooped herself up in the greenhouse room and tried her damn best to meditate. It wasn't working. In fact, it was perhaps one of the worst meditation attempts of her life. Belén felt like sobbing at one point. That was when Barry found her.
"Bells, c'mon..." Barry had no sophisticated strategy to get her to open up. He was too tired for that stuff today. He sat down on the floor directly in front of her, crossing one leg over the other as if he was going to meditate with her. For the first couple of minutes, he didn't say anything to her. He just looked at her.
Belén did the same. Somehow, the silence between them was even more difficult to manage than when Barry actively tried to find out what was going on with her. In the end, she gave up. "It's my fault," her confession was a quiet whisper.
"Your fault?" Barry repeated. He hoped that it was glaringly obvious how eager he was that she had finally said something to him. Hopefully it would pave the way to her revealing what was really the problem.
Belén swallowed hard. "Yeah," she nodded. "I messed up. I messed up so badly. I let Wally walk right past me to that stupid stone! He was right in front of me and do didn't do anything!"
Barry was still, honestly, stumped about that moment. Even though there was still some fuzziness about what happened there, he knew something prevented Belén from stopping Wally. She was right. He had walked right past her and she didn't do anything. That wasn't like her. Lately, she wasn't acting like herself. "Bells, you have to help me out here, what's happening? I-I am being patient, but...look at yourself. It's like when Datura was getting to you and...and you shut yourself off from everyone, including me."
Belén bit on her bottom lip nervously. As hard as things were getting, she was scared to tell Barry what was happening. "It's scaring the living crap out of me right now," she admitted.
"What is?" Barry gently pushed for the answer. He reached for one of her hands on her lap, enveloping it between his hands. "You can tell me anything."
"I'm afraid how you'll take it," Belén said, watching him carefully. Already, she saw a spark of guilt in Barry's eyes. She couldn't imagine how he would take the news that his changing the timelines truly affected her and Caitlin in the worst ways. She couldn't do that to him. "But it's okay. It's okay. I have it under control."
"But, Bells—"
Belén leaned forwards and pressed a kiss on Barry's lips. She smiled softly at him, eyes looking at him fondly. "I really love you, do you know that?"
Barry recognized a tactic when he saw one and he was ashamed that it worked. Belén was purposely keeping something away from him and he couldn't force it out of her. The only thing left to do was wait and tell her that he loved her too.

"Alright then," Veronica settled a folder of evidence on the interrogation table and watched the lone acolyte of Alchemy's shift nervously in his chair. "Now that you lost the monk disguise, we can talk. Let's start with Alchemy."
The man gave her almost a sneer.
Veronica raised an eyebrow. "I wouldn't test these waters," she warned in a deadly tone. "Why don't—" the door of the room burst open with Joe.
He let the door slam behind him as he walked over to the table. "Tell me about Alchemy," he commanded. "What he does, how he does it. Say it now."
There, the man repeated his sneer. However, he spoke this time. "His powers are beyond human understanding."
"Try us," Veronica leaned back on her chair and motioned him to get a move on.
The man merely smirked. "Oh, you will be tried. All of you. When my master rises, the human race will be judged. From where I'm sitting, you will not fare very well."
Veronica was about to tell him how delirious he was when Joe reached out and grabbed the man by the nose, almost threatening to break it. Veronica, startled, straightened up on her chair.
"You think I'm playing with you? My son is in one of those cocoons, and you're gonna tell me how to get him out. Now talk!" Joe ignored Veronica's attempt to get him to stop. He was beyond words at this point. The only salvation was the relentless knock on the door.
"Please just stop," Veronica warned him when she went to go answer. "Caitlin?" she blinked then looked past her to see if she was alone.
"It's Wally," the brunette said, immediately catching Joe's attention. The man hurried over. "He's out of that thing. He's fine."
"And he's okay?"
"Yeah. He's fine. I promise."
"Oh, thank God. Thank you, Caitlin," Joe glanced back at the suspect.
"You should probably go see him, then," Veronica smiled at him. "I can take care of this joke in ten minutes."
Joe laughed and merrily went on his way.
"Actually, Belén is waiting for you in the reception," Caitlin informed Veronica. "She said it's something important."
"Oh, wonder what it is now," Veronica smiled again and walked out of the room, leaving the door to close on its own.
Caitlin struck a boot just before it did close. She waited until Veronica was out of the way then walked in, backwards, and shut the door. Her eyes flickered to the security camera up on the ceiling and shot a hand up at it, freezing it completely.
"Where is Alchemy?" she revealed her silver eyes. The white streaks of hair were already making its presence on her head. "Tell me where Alchemy is."
The man eyed her with curiosity. He was not afraid, merely interested like he expected this to happen. "I sense great fear in you. You fear your power, your own greatness."
"I don't fear anything anymore," Caitlin's voice overlapped with Killer Frost. "Where is Alchemy?"
"The only one I fear is that whom Alchemy serves, the dark lord Savitar."
Caitlin regarded that with some amusement. Her eyes became a stronger silver as she rose her hand with threatening ice. "Maybe it's time you started fearing me."
GetHimGetHimGetHim, Killer Frost commanded and this time had the perfect control over Caitlin. Ice spread to the suspect's hands, causing terrible screams to erupt.
In less than a minute there was pounding on the doors. Caitlin's eyes briefly reverted to their normal chocolate brown. Caitlin herself whimpered as she felt the force that was Killer Frost trying to push her way out again. Her eyes flashed silver again and she filled the air with a cold fog then allowed the door to open. As the two officers hurried inside, she slipped out and shut the door, icing the doorknob as a measure of caution.
She was on her way out when someone called her back.
Julian Albert stood behind with an air of confusion as he heard his co-workers calling for help from the inside of the interrogation room. When he turned to Caitlin, he gasped at her very near proximity.
"I need you to come with me," she informed with her frost smoking up from her hands.

Joe came in a hurry into Wally's room and was stunned when he found his son was in the same condition as when he left. He met the others' confused looks and explained to them that Caitlin had assured him that Wally had woken up.
"What? I didn't even see her leave," Cisco realized that Caitlin had been out of sight for a while now.
"She said that?" Belén asked, focusing on the more important details of the story.
"Yes," Joe said, quite irritated to see that it was all lies.
"That's not like Caitlin..." Iris shook her head, thinking the same as the others.
Belén was the first to realize what was going on. Iris was right.��Caitlin wasn't like that. Caitlin didn't lie to get officers out of interrogation rooms.
But she knew a certain metahuman who would do all those things.

The precinct was on red alert when Barry got there. Before he reached the offices, Veronica caught him on the side, startling him.
"You have got some explaining to do!" Her snap put him even worse for wear.
"What!? I—"
"Come here," Veronica grabbed Barry by the collar and dragged him into the bullpen, ignoring his 'what' again. She stopped by her desk and pulled up the security feed of the interrogation room where they'd kept Alchemy's acolyte. "Caitlin just attacked two officers, one suspect and kidnapped Julian."
"What?" Barry leaned closer to the screen just to make sure they hadn't made a mistake. He could only see Caitlin's side profile as she iced down the camera.
"No one's recognized her from the video but if Julian gets out first, he'll turn her in," Veronica warned him. "What the hell is going on?"
"I...I don't know," Barry rubbed his forehead. Killer Frost was making her appearance, that's what. Just like her earth 2 doppelganger, the ice made her bad.
"When did she get powers? And why would she take Julian?" Veronica's questions went unanswered.
Barry couldn't focus when the bigger issues were at hand. It would be a race to find Caitlin before the cops did.
~ 0 ~
As soon as she could, Belén fled to her greenhouse room to call a certain doppelganger to answers. She faced Datura on a video call while she paced back and forth. "What the hell is happening? Killer Frost is already taking Caitlin over! You said there was more time!"
Datura snickered on the other end. "I said there was only a question of who would end up taken first. Looks like I got the answer. Killer Frost was always a rowdy, annoying meta."
"Well now she's inside my friend and she's making Caitlin do things she would never do!"
"That's the point, stupid," Datura rolled her eyes. "Killer Frost wants access, and since Caitlin is probably getting more desperate, it's been easy for Killer Frost to take over."
"But she kidnapped a friend — Killer Frost kidnaps?"
"No," Datura said with some thought put into it. She looked to the side as she recollected patterns of the Earth 2 meta. "She kills. It's in her name. I think this little outburst might be Caitlin and Killer Frost together as a...mixture. One is just fighting the other."
"So, Caitlin is actively fighting back but losing?"
"Don't know. Look at her intentions and then let me know," Datura winked then shut off the call before Belén could say more.
Belén stuffed her phone in her back pocket then rubbed her face. "Caitlin, what are you doing?" She hated to think what Caitlin might be feeling - if Caitlin was feeling anything as herself at all. If what Datura said was true, then perhaps Caitlin was on her way to merging with Killer Frost to create a whole new person.
Who would that person end up, though?
~ 0 ~
"So, they don't know why she took Julian?" Cisco asked just to be sure. He was currently trying to locate Caitlin's location and a little stress might be making it more difficult.
"No, they don't. But more importantly, they don't even know that it's Caitlin yet, so we need to find her before they do," Barry couldn't hide the urgency in his words.
"Okay, let's say we do find her, then what are we going to do?" Iris made them stop for a moment. "It's obvious she's not thinking straight but have we thought about the reasons? Maybe something that could help us?"
"Killer Frost from Earth 2 is inhabiting Caitlin's mind," Belén walked in, her face expressing nothing but guilt. "Caitlin is literally having a battle with another person inside her own body."
"She's becoming Killer Frost. It's just like in the Vibe," Cisco shook his head.
"We don't know that yet," Barry reminded, but the doubt was still hanging over everyone's head.
"Her mother said the more that she uses her powers, the faster she's gonna go," Belén relayed what Caitlin once told her. "These powers aren't just powers, they're actual people that Datura siphoned. They're sentient and some of them are more forcible than others."
"How do you know that?" Iris now laid suspicious eyes on Belén.
"Because that's what Datura told me," Belén replied, hiding behind the technicality that she was not lying. "We just need to find Caitlin and make her see what's happening."
"I tried pinging her cell and Julian's, but she must have ditched them both," Cisco said with a groan of frustration.
"Stop thinking Caitlin is a regular person and start searching for another meta with cold powers," Belén moved over to him. "The answer here is not to ignore. Caitlin's powers, they're cold, so...could we use something we used for Captain Cold?"
"We tracked him using the satellite to scan for ultraviolet cold signatures," Cisco thought about it then snapped his fingers. "You're good!" he told Belén, making her smile, and got back to work. "Frozen food warehouse! That's where she is! Okay, I'm gonna isolate the feed so that no one else can see it!"
"Please do," Belén hurried after her suit.
"Figure out what she's making Julian do," Barry instructed as he went with Belén. The two would certainly need to know to help.

Julian worked incredibly fast despite the fear over his shoulders. Caitlin had him searching for acolytes of Alchemy and with a good motivation too. Find someone or be killed. She had already proven that she was willing to follow through by giving a deadly frostbite on his wrist, so...
"I found two individuals that have searched for the name Savitar. Here are both their addresses, both of them in Central City," he stopped working and looked at the woman. He still couldn't believe this was Caitlin Snow, a friend of Belén's who'd gone mad all in a week since the last time he saw her. "What exactly are you gonna do to them?"
"I don't know," Caitlin admitted as she walked a bit to the side. Killer Frost was screaming in her head to do something more fun, to use her powers. But all Caitlin wanted to do was silence her forever. "What am I doing?" She asked as herself. The noise of typing brought the more suspicious Killer Frost out. Julian had attempted - successfully - to send a message to the police. Angrily, she iced his laptop and destroyed it. "What part of "I'll freeze you to death" did you not understand?"
"Stop!" Barry sped in with Belén. Both were stunned to see Caitlin's appearance. It was half her, half Killer Frost.
Exactly what Datura said, Belén remembered.
"Get out of here," Caitlin warned them with one hand raised.
"You know we can't do that," Barry shook his head.
Belén swallowed hard and moved towards the woman but Caitlin brandished a frosty hand. "What are you doing?" Belén whispered in disbelief. "I know the powers are doing this but you have to fight it."
"Take her out. Take her out!" Julian frantically urged behind Barry.
"That's what I'm doing," Caitlin responded as herself, taking Belén by surprise. "I'm not trying to hurt someone—"
"You are wiring to hurt someone!" Julian was the first one to argue. "Knock her out!" he ordered the two known metas.
Barry didn't hesitate to knock him out instead. Belén threw Barry a look for that, eyes sharp with disapproval.
"Priorities," Barry reminded, though his lips did try to form a smile when Belén returned her attention to Caitlin.
"Cait, these powers, we can work with them—"
"I'm doing something about it!" Caitlin snapped at Belén. "I'm finding Alchemy!"
"We will find him. All right? Together," Barry misunderstood her intentions, as did Belén, and hoped to be reassuring.
"No. You don't understand. I don't want to lock him up. I need him to help me," Caitlin frantically argued.
"Help you what?"
"I need him to get rid of my powers!"
Both Belén and Barry paused in their tracks. Belén sighed at the brunette. "Caitlin... I'm not sure Alchemy can deal with...this sort of power," Belén felt sorry to say. She wished it would be that easy.
"You don't know that it doesn't," Caitlin very logically made her point. "I need her to stop talking to me! To stop controlling me!"
"Then let us help," Barry slowly reached out for her. "We all love you, and we will do everything that we can to help you. We've been through too much together to let each other down now."
Caitlin's eyes glimmered blue and silver. "Like you helped your mother?" Her voice vibrated with Killer Frost's. "Or Wally? Or me? You keep messing with everyone's lives, wrecking everything, and we're left behind to pick up the pieces from your mistakes. Some things you break can't be put back together!"
Barry, ashamed, took that with a hang of his head. "I can fix this."
Killer Frost had no mercy. "Oh, like you fixed Cisco's family? You didn't tell Cisco that you screwed him worst of all, did you?" she purposely spoke louder for the audience watching from STAR Labs. "You hear that, Cisco? Dante was alive, healthy and happy, until Barry created Flashpoint. When he reset things, that's what killed him. Barry is the reason your brother is dead."
"Caitlin, stop!" Belén ordered but Killer Frost was not done.
The best thing about accessing Caitlin's mind was getting a full view of her memories. "You're both—" she nodded to Belén and Barry, "—meant for each other, you know. Keeping secrets, it's what you do best. At least Datura was never a hypocrite about it."
Belén's anger was quick to form. "Be quiet!" she hissed, not entirely as herself, and nearly attacked if the police force hadn't arrived.
Before the bullets could reach them, Barry got them across the room towards another exit. "Bells?" he worriedly saw her holding her head again, reminding him of the last time they'd been like this.
Caitlin, on the other hand, saw a golden opportunity. She created an icicle and stabbed Barry on the lower part of his ankle, and smirked at Barry's cry of pain. "That severed your triceps surae. Even with your healing abilities, it'll take four hours to regenerate! Don't follow me!"
"Caitlin—" Belén didn't even move an inch before Caitlin threw another threat.
"Follow me and I'll say everything," Caitlin rushed out of there.
Belén pursed her lips together, guilt settling over her like layers of mountain.

Both Veronica and Joe walked into the cortex, Axel in tow behind his grandmother. The two detectives moved directly for the side room where they could see Barry. Axel, in the meantime, stayed behind with Cisco, chatting him up with questions over what was happening but Cisco barely regarded the boy.
"I'm not a good doctor so just...tell me if that hurt?" Belén slowly pulled her hands off the bandage she'd wrapped around Barry's ankle.
"It hurts as much as I deserve probably," Barry mumbled, feeling pain alright but it didn't exactly come from his injuries.
"They took Julian to County General," Veronica informed them both. "Mrs. Andrews is with him which is why I had to bring Axel around." Axel had given up on talking to Cisco and now directed all his questions to Iris.
"He's still out cold. How hard did you hit him?" Joe had to wonder.
"I don't know. I didn't mean to knock him out," Barry swallowed the pain he felt and he moved his legs to one side of the bed.
"Mhm," Belén's sharp eyes made him reevaluate his statement.
"Or maybe I did," he relented and got himself up. Belén rolled her eyes and let him move towards the cortex.
Barry saw Cisco crossing the cortex for the desks, and took his chance at a little explanation. "Cisco. Hey, man, um, what Caitlin said…"
Cisco stopped and sent him an scrutinizing glance. "Was she lying?"
"No. Um…"
Cisco almost rolled his eyes despite tears threatening to break free. "You're sorry? That you killed my brother? 'Cause he was here. He was alive—" he enunciated slowly, one hand jabbing at Barry's shoulder, "—until you created Flashpoint, until you did this!" he shoved the speedster backwards.
Axel scurried from Iris towards his aunt. "Why are they…" he stopped when Belén warned him to stay quiet with a finger over her lips.
"I don't even know how to feel right now. All I know is Caitlin is out there, and we need to find her. Can we do that?" Cisco backed to the desk, not giving much of an alternative. "I hacked Julian's computer. Caitlin had him look up two addresses: 16 Hawthorne Avenue and 1104 Truman Place. She's trying to find the acolytes, I was trying to say."
"What exactly would she want with Alchemy's followers?" Iris wondered out loud.
"Caitlin doesn't want her powers so... she thinks these acolytes can take her to Alchemy who would then take away her powers," Belén explained. It was exactly what Caitlin, in such a state, would attempt to do.
"We heard," Cisco muttered from the computers.
"Well, two acolytes, two addresses. Which one's she gonna hit first?" Veronica inquired, but knew there was no certain answer.
"We got to watch both," Barry decided. He was shot down before he even took a step towards his suit.
"You're gonna stay here. You can barely walk," Joe pointed him to the chair.
"We can take care of Hawthorne," Belén moved over to Cisco.
"I'll take Truman," Veronica volunteered.
"I care about Caitlin, but I don't want to leave Wally," Joe admitted.
"Dad, Barry and I will stay with Wally," Iris offered instead. "You go with Detective Greene."
"Alright," Joe sighed and moved with Veronica.
Belén started for her suit in the meantime.
"Cisco, if you find her…" Barry trailed off when Cisco directed a cold glare on him.
"I won't call you. You've done enough," Cisco mumbled and went on his way.
Belén came back but before she even called for Cisco, Barry motioned her to stop. "Just be careful," he told her and limped his way to Wally's room.
"Look after him, please?" Belén asked Iris quietly. Iris assured she would, allowing Belén to go on in a relative peace.
~0~
"The acolyte's on the second floor," Veronica settled her eyes on the apartment across them. She picked up her coffee cup then offered the second one to Joe. He shook his head and simply stated ahead. "I understand how you feel about Wally but he's going to be okay."
Joe's face said something else. "How would you know?"
"I think logically," Veronica shrugged. "If they wanted him dead, then that would've happened yesterday."
The manner in which she said it was so...carefree. There really was no trace of concern in her. "How do you do that?" Joe asked incredulously.
Veronica gave a small smile. "You're forgetting my own children have been affected. My eldest is in prison for murder and theft, my son is dead and my youngest...just won't stop fighting. After a while, you catch on that no matter how many times you attempt to stop them... they won't."
"So, what? I'm just supposed to let them do what they want even when my gut tells me something's off?"
"No. You use that intuition to help them. At the end of the day they're young and don't have the same experience that we do. That's why they need us," Veronica said with the utmost certainty. She exchanged a smile with Joe after. "So next time, just follow your intuition."

The first acolyte had been signaled out as the one chosen by Caitlin. She was sneaky like Killer Frost, but cautious like Caitlin as she waited for the acolyte, named Craig apparently, to come out of his bedroom. Just as the he went for the temperature controller, she let the hiss of her ice scare him into turning around.
"Both of my parents are doctors. It's all I ever wanted to be. Growing up, I used to practice the Hippocratic Oath. I was obsessed with it," she started moving towards the nab who only plastered himself against the wall. "If anyone was even gonna step on a bug, I would say, 'Do no harm'. It's built into my DNA." She raised a finger at him, letting ice encapsulate around it to create a perfect icicle. "Unfortunately, my DNA isn't what it used to be. So, believe me when I say answer every one of my questions, or I will harm you and your family." This left the acolyte with no choice. "Who is Alchemy?"
"I don't know. I've never seen him without the mask!"
"I know he can give people powers. Can he take them away?"
"Yes. But you can't make Alchemy do anything. He's just an acolyte, like me," the man admitted, his eyes constantly flickering to the icicle threatening to claw his eyes out. "We both serve the speed god, Savitar. He's shown us the future. I saw you there." Caitlin's eyes turned back to their regular color, even the icicle disappearing from her finger. "You were glorious and powerful. My lord has special plans for you. He will come to you and speak to you. The honor of that is..." his laughter only brought out Caitlin's fear even more. "He will call you...the Bringer. After all, only you, Caitlin Snow, can bring Her."
Caitlin backtracked, her eyes going back and forth between blue and brown. She was terrified. She needed to leave - now! She hurried out of the house, but by the time she managed to get out, Killer Frost was surfacing again. The light rain made for an eventful night, at least that's what Killer Frost kept saying in the head.
"Caitlin!" Cisco's voice stopped her across the road.
She smirked at him. "Really? You brought your toys?" she nodded to his goggled which he had yet to put on.
Cisco's hand gripped around hid goggles. "I'm hoping it won't come to that."
Caitlin raised her icy hands. "It won't."
"Look, I'm not leaving you out here. I want to help you."
"There's only one person who can help me."
"Really? You really think seeking medical advice from someone named Dr. Alchemy is the way to go?"
"Why not? My name is Killer Frost," Caitlin threatened to shoot frost from her hands.
Cisco moved a step forwards. "Your name... is Caitlin Snow.
"Can Caitlin Snow do this?" Caitlin's eyes glowed stronger. Killer Frost commanded her to start firing, and so she did. Icicles stormed towards Cisco and since he couldn't bring himself to attack yet, he ran for cover behind a tree.
Caitlin pulled back a hand to fire stronger but a vine latched onto her wrist, preventing her from moving it. Belén stood behind her, very much in the same cautious state as Cisco. "Caitlin, please!"
"My name is Killer Frost!" Ice zoomed up Belén's wrapped vine, forcing her to let it go before it reached her. Caitlin then whirled around and blasted a powerful mass of frost at the other woman. "Why fight me? We could be a killer team, you know."
Belén motioned Caitlin to calm down. "Caitlin, I know it's hard. The voice is strong but you are stronger. Don't let her control you."
"I'm doing fine, thanks! Can't say the same for you!" Caitlin swung icicles like boomerangs at Belén, forcing the meta to fight back. She moved forwards as her poison swished forwards along with pieces of vines trying to trap Caitlin but it wasn't enough to keep her down. The frosty meta engaged Belén in hand combat.
"Belén! Move!" Cisco put on his goggles, figuring that the best thing would be to bring Caitlin back to STAR Labs...and for that she needed everyone to help.
"I can't!" Belén was in the middle of dodging Caitlin who was probably drawing on Killer Frost's combat skills.
"Unleash those powers," Killer Frost taunted in-between punches. "You know they're itching to play!"
She's right. Let us out! Belén heard the voices begin to scream. With that distraction, Killer Frost backhanded her to the ground.
"Come on out!" she practically demanded, going as far as putting a boot over Belén's back.
Belén screwed her eyes shut but this time the voices weren't going away. They were doing the same thing Killer Frost said to. They wanted to come out.
Caitlin was drawn back by the noises of a zip. She caught Barry's light as he charged towards them. She froze the roadside and watched as the speedster slipped over and rolled on the ground. She walked over to him, glaring down. "How's the leg?"
Barry hated her sense of humor at the moment. He saw her boots from the corner of his eyes and retaliated in the simplest way. He swiped his arm across her legs and knocked her down beside him.
"I'm sorry, Caitlin," he heard her groans beside him and truly felt bad for her. Everything she said was right. It was his fault.
"That was cold, Flash," she gave him his due. "But this is colder." She jumped to her next move and straddled him, planting her lips over his for a frosty kiss.
Cisco knew it was time to act no matter his feelings. He could practically see Barry's blue face thanks to Caitlin. Belén was still on the ground once again raging at herself to 'stop' ... again. Cisco put on his goggles and struck Caitlin with a vibe energy that knocked her over a car. Cisco then came running forwards.
"Start vibrating. It'll warm you up," he left that advice for Barry on the ground.
Caitlin was just attempting to get up when she felt a hand curl around her ankle. "Oh let go you pathetic plant girl," she hissed with a raging icy hand.
"You wanted me out? Now I'm out," Belén had an unusual glare on her face, her eyes glimmering colors.
"Bells, just hold her!" Cisco ran up to them with the intention of knocking Caitlin out.
"I've got a better idea," Belén smirked. Heat erupted from her free hand and sent Cisco back against the same car that Caitlin had rolled over.
Start killing! Get them all out! Let us be free! The voices chanted in unison. Belén felt herself slowly lose against them. She didn't want to be like Caitlin, she wanted to control them...but she was so tired. The stronger they got, the less pain Belén felt, the less stress and ache.
"Well, you came out to play," Caitlin as Killer Frost looked down at Belén with a smug face.
Belén held her head in pain. "Leave me alone, Frost!"
Caitlin circled the woman, taunting her to come out and match her powers. "We could have some fun, can't you see? I hadn't thought about it before but, after all you were the one who wanted me to come out with Caitlin."
"I SAID STOP!" Belén screamed and whirled around to deliver a punch across Caitlin's face. She raised her hands above her head and let white energy blink into existence around them.
"Belén?"
Belén lowered her arms but kept the moon energy stirring between her hands as she turned to face Barry. He was stunned to find Cisco outcold over a car, Caitlin pretty much under the same state on the ground and... Belén being the cause of it. Her white eyes made him fear that perhaps Killer Frost wasn't the only one who was affected by the siphoning device. Had he done that to her as well?
"Shoot," Belén commanded, but as herself trying to regain control. The power around her hands struggled to keep itself going. "I don't want…" her white eyes flickered to Caitlin, "...I don't want to be...like her...knock me out!"
Barry couldn't believe his ears. Belén stumbled towards him, begging him to do what she asked. "But Belén—"
"KNOCK ME OUT!" she screamed at Barry, eyes flickering to gold. The sight terrified him. "DO IT!"
Barry shut his eyes and absolutely hated himself. He streaked forwards and knocked Belén down as cautious as possible. A smack would be enough, he hoped.
~0~
The next time Caitlin awoke, she found herself inside the pipeline with the group, save Belén, staring at her from the other side with sympathy. "Phew, guess I just needed a little sleep. Thanks, guys. I'm feeling much better now. It's okay. You can let me out. I promise I'm not gonna hurt anybody." Her eyes blue eyes scanned the group to see if anyone faltered, but they knew better. "Hmm. Guess you're all smarter than I thought. You know, that was some blast there, Vibe boy. It kind of hurt."
Cisco's eyes were still glossy with tears. He couldn't believe this is what they were reduced to in the end. "I didn't want to hurt you."
Caitlin's face contorted to disgust. "You're pathetic."
"Alchemy can't help you. But we can. I promise," Barry couldn't stop staring at her, hoping that she would come out of her trance.
Caitlin scoffed. "Oh, like you promised Eddie? And like you promised Ronnie? You know, for a hero, Flash, you sure let a lot of people around you die."
"This isn't you talking. It's the powers. They're messing with your mind. You're sick—"
"Killer Frost might be in my head but Caitlin is broken, Barry. And that's all your fault," Caitlin tapped her finger against the wall. A smug smile spread across her face, almost threatening to laugh. "But this time around, justice came through. You're not getting away with a happy ending this time. You hurt the person you supposedly love most. Belén? She's going to become just like me and then we'll take this city together."
Barry swallowed hard, the guilt he felt once now too hard to push with words of comfort. "We're not letting this happen…" He reached for the controller's to close the pipeline up.
"You did this to me!" Caitlin raged from the inside just before she was lost behind the pipeline.
"Do you have any idea how we can reverse this?" Barry turned to Cisco, hoping for anything at this point. "How we can get her back?"
Cisco refused to look at him. "It's like Caitlin said: sometimes when things get broken, they can't be fixed."
~0~
Belén sat at the edge of the medical bed with her head held low in shame. She couldn't stop staring at the meta dampener cuffs adorning her wrists. Cisco must have put them on her after being taken back to STAR Labs. The voices were dead silent in her head. It was as if everything was normal again.
Except she wasn't. She was far from it.
The sound of footsteps rose her head. She was mortified to see her friends and mother staring at her with...pity. She pulled her legs up to her chest and rested her head over her knees.
"I'm sorry," she said, not that it mattered. She had punched her friend and thrown the other over a car. One apology made no difference.
Barry asked with a pleading look to let him talk to her first.
"Do not let her become like Caitlin," Veronica warned with the same hostility she once showed him when they first met. She was angry. Hell angry.
Barry cleared his throat and walked into the side room once the others had gone. "This was it, wasn't it? The thing that you were hiding? It was about this and Caitlin."
"I could never say anything about Caitlin. It wasn't my secret to tell," she rose her head once more. "And I just didn't want you to think it was your fault."
"But it is," Barry said grimly, "This is all my fault. In the other timeline, this didn't happen to you. It didn't happen to Caitlin either."
"It does no good to think about that anymore," Belén said, letting out a heavy sigh, "You can't change it anymore. If I could, I would have tried to fix this on my own."
"But you shouldn't have to," Barry said, coming over to sit down on the bed with her, "This is my fault so please let me help to fix this. We're a team, right? You and I, we're partners above everything and everyone else. Please, trust in me that I will fix this."
"There's not much to work with," Belén said, "The voices are just getting stronger now."
"These voices... there's more than one?"
Belén nodded. "There's three. One who controls earth, the other controls the moon elements and the other has heat abilities. They're some of the victims Datura siphoned and killed. They're mad and they want to be free. Datura said that it's only a matter of time until I lose it. She was right about Caitlin, so…"
"Datura?" Barry raised an eyebrow at her. "You've been speaking to that woman?"
"Yeah, she called me one day because apparently she can now see the future sometimes. I visited her too," Belén said, deciding it was best to put it all out there now that the truth was out. "We, uh, we made a deal. She said she'll help and in return, she'll get Frost's power back. But being honest...I don't think she'll be able to reverse it. And I certainly don't want to wear these," she raised her cuffed hands. "If I have to live with these powers, then I want to control them. I don't want to hide them."
Barry ultimately knew she wanted the cuffs off. He could already hear Veronica shouting that it wasn't the safest thing but...he had already messed up by creating this situation. The least he could do was give Belén her choice. It was all he had. He reached over and unlocked the cuffs. Cisco had placed a password on it just in case Belén switched personalities again. Belén was a bit awed that he was listening so easily. Anyone else would've told her absolutely not.
"I'm sorry for doing this to you, but I swear I will do anything and everything I can to help you," Barry promised her. "Just please don't feel like you need to be sorry. This isn't on you."
"Yeah, well, it doesn't exactly help to hear you continually blame yourself. There's nothing you can do by that," she leaned her head against his arm.
"I should have just followed you inside the house," Barry deeply regretted that night he changed the timelines. He had everything and he didn't see it. It would probably be his biggest regret.
"But you didn't, and that's the fact. I'm sorry you feel this way but...there is nothing you can do to change it. There is no fixing. We are not projects," she shifted her head to look up at him. "We are your friends and we need you."
Barry wrapped an arm around her and pulled her closer. "I've been the villain of this story, Bells."
"Change the course," Belén said, resting her head on his shoulder.
Their moment was cut short when the lights mysteriously malfunctioned in the building. The only possible source of power had to be from Wally. The two metas hurriedly rushed towards Wally's room and found Joe in the middle of breaking Wally out of his cocoon.
"Joe! Hey! What are you doing?" Barry frantically urged him to stop but Joe had already made the decision long before. "You can't cut him!"
"I have to!" Joe argued back. He didn't want Joe to follow in Caitlin's footsteps, nor Belén's. With the help of a power saw, the cocoon was opened in half but along with it came an odd noise.
Barry figured what it was and sped the others away from the cocoon just as an energy exploded from it. Smoke filled the room over the tipped over furniture. There was only s familiar vibrating noise heard and it wasn't from Barry.
Wally stood in the middle of the room, his entire body vibrating. His gaze slowly went around the room but he never made a noise. Then, just like that, he zipped out of the room.
The group quickly intended on finding him, as well as seeing what exactly the cocoon made him.
"No sign of Wally. I've got the satellite scanning the entire city for rapid movement," Cisco called from the desk.
"If he's a speedster, he could be halfway across the country by now," Iris remarked, still unable to believe what they'd seen mere minutes ago.
"Barry, we have to find him," Joe felt the urgency of a parent but also knew it was his fault. He had only wanted to help his son before something bad happened.
"I'm more worried about what happens when we do find him," Barry admitted. "He didn't seem like he was all there."
"I shouldn't have cut him out of that thing," Joe put his hands over his head.
"If we have no way of knowing what effects Wally did under...should we really try to find him first?" Belén asked. "We need to be smart about this and the only one who could possibly know is…"
"Caitlin," Barry exhaled. "We need a biochemist."
"And how do we break her out of...whatever is in her?" Veronica inquired, accusing eyes landing on her daughter. She had spotted the clean wrists.
Belén sucked in a breath and walked to the desk. "Killer Frost from Earth 2 expects us to fix Caitlin by erasing the powers, her mind. If we want Caitlin back, then we need to remind her who she is."
"Remind her who she is? I think I can do that," Barry decided to play one last card and headed for the pipeline.
Veronica quickly took her daughter by the wrist to the side. "What the hell are you doing? Where are the cuffs?"
"I'm not wearing them," Belén pushed her mother's hands off and returned to the desk.
"I knew we shouldn't have given Barry the password," the woman came after her.
"Mom, you can't just lock them up! I mean, that's exactly what Caitlin tried to do and look where she is right now?" Belén turned to Cisco with the most sincere face possible. "Cisco, I swear I am so sorry that I threw you over a car! I'm sorry that I lied to everyone but you cannot force me to shut my powers away!" she shouted. "Like I said to Barry I am not a project to fix!"
Get them. Make them fear you, Belén closed her eyes and leaned on the desk. The others exchanged cautious glances.
~0~
Caitlin was smug when Barry reopened her prison. It was going to be difficult convincing her but Barry was not planning on stopping.
"We need your help, Caitlin. Wally... he's... he's out of the cocoon, but his biochemistry is all out of whack. He went AWOL."
Caitlin casually leaned against the back wall of the pod. Her lips formed a mock pout. "So?"
"So, when we find him, he's gonna need your help. He's gonna need your medical expertise, your experience with metas. What he needs is Caitlin Snow, MD."
Caitlin gave a mocking laugh. "So, you came to try and talk some sense into me."
"No. I came to let you go," Barry moved to the controls again and opened up the pod.
Caitlin waited a second fir any trick he might be holding back on. Barry just stood there waiting for her. She mocked him and walked out. "For a smart guy, that was an awfully dumb move."
"Like I said, you're free to go."
"What's the catch?"
"You have to kill me," Barry answered in a matter of fact tone.
From the cortex, Iris was deadlocked on the plan, thinking it stupid. "What is he doing!?"
"He's bringing Caitlin back," Belén shushed her, she and Cisco being the only ones not as worried. She had faith that their friend was still there, and if Barry really wanted to help them then he needed to be the one to take the leap. He was faster; he could move if he needed to.
Caitlin raised an eyebrow at Barry and moved up to him. He didn't move an inch. "You want to fight, Flash?"
"No. I'm not gonna fight you," Barry continued with his nonchalantness. "But if you want to leave this room, you're gonna have to kill me."
"Don't think I won't," Caitlin warned, Killer Frost lacing every word spoken.
"Then do it."
Caitlin turned her palm over and created one lone icicle.
Barry braced himself and didn't move an inch. Caitlin, for some reason, only raised the icicle to his chest. "What are you waiting for? What's the big deal? Come on! Live up to your name, Killer Frost. I want to see some killing!" he grabbed onto her wrist holding the icicle and yanked her forwards. "You want to be the villain? This is what they do. They kill their friends, because nothing matters to them anymore, right?"
Caitlin seemed to struggle to push the icicle. Killer Frost raged to do it already so they could go. I can't, Caitlin was the one to think. She's not in control.
"Kill me, Caitlin!" Barry practically ordered to the still woman. "You can't do it. You can't, because underneath all that cold, you're still you."
Caitlin released a shaky breath, Killer Frost's rage was being sealed away at least for the time being. She was not a killer. Killer Frost could not make her become that. Absolutely not.
The blue in her eyes faded away and were replaced by tears. She dropped the icicle in her hand and broke into sobs. "Barry!"
Barry hugged her with no hard feelings. "It's okay. I got you. It's okay." He held her tight and sighed of relief to have her back with them.

Caitlin felt a huge relief having the meta-dampeners back on her wrists. Her mind was clear again, there was just her and only her. It left her entirely focused on Wally's current state, the latter still unfound. She'd taken a couple of bits left over by the cocoon to see where exactly Wally's structure was at the moment. And because of it, she was able to form an injection that might help him.
"I think extracting Wally early from that cocoon left him in a fugue state. His synapses aren't used to functioning at super-speed, so his mind and muscles are misfiring," she stopped by Barry with the serum ready to go.
"I mean, will this stuff help?" Joe eyed the serum with weariness.
"I've synthesized a neural compound that I think will get his mind and body running at the same speed. We just have to find him first."
"Well, computers aren't doing a damn thing," Cisco muttered from his spot at the desk. He rubbed his face then dropped his hands and turned to the group. "I don't know what else to do."
"But maybe Joe does," Veronica gave the man a glance, knowingly smiling. "Father's know best. "What's your intuition saying?"
Joe had to smile, but didn't disregard her attempt that fast. He got to wondering if perhaps Wally wasn't lost. What if he had just...gotten nostalgic in that state he was in? When nothing made sense, what kept him together?
"The house that he grew up in," he said before he could even solidify the thought. "He used to go there when he missed his mother. In Keystone."
"Let's go," Barry got ahold of him and left together.
As soon as they were gone, Caitlin moved towards Cisco and Belén with that face that spelled utter guilt. "I, uh... I just wanted to…"
"It's okay," Cisco got up from his desk and hugged her tight. "You scared me for a second, getting all Mother of Dragons on me with that hair."
Caitlin managed to chuckle but she was still feeling pretty bad in regards to Belén. "I shouldn't have said anything, b-but I...I wasn't…"
"You don't need to explain anything to me, Cait, I know exactly what that feels like," Belén raised her hands. "I guess they had to know sometime…"
"Still freaked us out…" Iris was heard mumbling from her spot. "I nearly went reporter on you two earlier."
"I know," Belén mocked a putout face. "But it's a scary thing, and that's why we kept quiet. But rest assure—" she placed a hand on Caitlin's arm, "—that we will find a way to help you. Datura said she wanted her power back, so...she's on board."
"Woah, woah, we're letting psycho-Belén help us now?" Cisco went wide-eyed at the news, something that both Iris and Veronica shared.
"You can't be serious," Veronica shook her head. "Tell me you're not serious."
"Who's psycho-Belén?" Axel looked up from the tablet he'd gotten from home.
"No one, go back to your games," Veronica shushed him with a pointed finger.
"It's okay, we're on the same boat - believe it or not - so she's helping," Belén made it clear this was something that had already been decided.
"But did she ask for something in return besides her power?" Caitlin had to wonder. Datura, while Belén, was still dangerously ambitious.
Belén cleared her throat and shook her head. "Nope, just Frosty back." There was no point in telling Caitlin that she would also have to give up her powers to Datura as well. Caitlin felt terrible enough.
That would just remain her little secret till the end.

"Oh, so she got back to normal?" Belén rolled her eyes at her doppelganger's disappointment of Caitlin triumphing over Killer Frost.
"Please, don't try to hide your goodness…" Belén sat down on the edge of her bed and glared at Datura on her phone screen.
"Can't hide what I never had," Datura snorted and put a finger to her chin. "Though I do have to express my disappointment of getting this prediction wrong."
"What prediction?"
"I saw Killer Frost in all her frosty glory," Datura shared the vision she'd gotten that day, earlier, but nonetheless about Killer Frost.
"So your psychic abilities aren't always correct, then?"
"Well of course not, the future is never written in stone."
"So...right now, what do you see about...me?"
"Ooh, scared are we?" Datura was quick taunt before laughing. Belén hated her, she really did, because it was fear that was constantly coursing through her. Datura leaned closer to the screen. "I see nothing."
"I know you see something you—"
"Maybe I do, maybe I don't. Dream about that," the doppelganger spat and ended the video chat.
Belén growled and tossed her phone over her shoulder. She buried her face in her hands and thought about the possibilities if she did not learn to control these powers. She already made it clear to her friends that suppressing them was not an option for her - it never would be.
When she heard the front door unlocking, she quickly jumped up from the bed and ran up to the mirror. She didn't want to look so distressed when they had oh-so many problems as it was.
"Yikes," she whispered at her reflection. She combed through her hair with her fingers and walked out of the room to see how Barry did with...getting Julian not to say a word about Caitlin. She offered to go herself but Barry decided that he needed to, because it was part of him owning up to his mistakes. Barry had a somber face until he saw Belén coming out of the hallway. "So, how did it go?" she leaned against the hallway threshold. "Is he going to tell? Do you need me to try?"
How could Barry tell her that one of her closest friends had forced him to quit his job so that Caitlin could avoid jail? He couldn't. At least not tonight when Belén was already looking far too tired to deal with something else. "He's not going to say anything," he informed her with a the tiniest of smiles.
A big relief washed over Belén, even making her laugh towards the end. "Oh my God that is so good to hear!" she walked over and hugged him tight, swaying them a bit.
"Yeah," Barry rubbed her back and rested his chin over her head. Keeping his sudden departure from his job wasn't going to last a day, probably not even a week, but for tonight he would like to give Belén a moment of peace.
After everything, she deserved that much.

The Flash: Life on Standby | 9x12: “A New World, Part 3: Changes” | Barry Allen & Averey Moore (OC)
A/N: Kinda/sorta spoilery for the future of the Blindsided series (and spoilers for the show) but I’ve had something like this stuck in my head since I watched 9x12 and I needed to write it down, haha.
-Rhuben
Tumblr media
“He said that he has the chance to change everything. That if he chooses the crystal, he could get everything he deserves." Averey screwed up her nose as Barry made another pass around the living room. “I just don’t understand. How could he want to do this? That's not Eddie. It’s not the Eddie we know.” 
Averey’s eyebrows lifted as she watched him. He had spent the whole time they had stood in Eddie’s “home” relaying everything he had just experienced with their friend. And the whole time, apart from her inquiry about where they were, Averey had been quiet. She didn’t say a word, just twisted her features in reaction to the words that came out of his mouth. 
So it really through him for a loop when Averey looked him square in the eye and said, flatly, “Shut up, Barry.” 
Barry stopped pacing, coming to a halt in the middle of the living room. “What?” He couldn’t think of anything else to say. 
“Eddie’s getting the chance to see what kind of life he’d get to have should things have been normal for at least five bloody minutes,” Averey explained, her eyebrows coming towards each other. “How do you not understand that?” 
“It’s the Negative Speed Force, Averey,” Barry reminded her. “It’s not real. None of this, none of what he wants, is real!” 
“And it was the Reverse Flash, Barry. And then it was Zoom. And then it was Savitar.” Barry let out a noise of frustration and spun on his heel to storm into the dining aera. Averey followed him, calling after him to say, “There’s always going to be someone that’ll change things – the timeline - in our lives, B. It may not be real to you, or any of us, but it’s real to him.” 
Barry made a scoffing sound, shaking his head. 
“Ah, my apologies, mate.” Averey’s tone suddenly took on sarcasm. “Guess I just never realized you were the only one who was allowed to take the chance to see how your life was different.” 
Barry whirled around to face her. “That’s not true.” 
“It is true, and you know it,” adopting his direct tone. “You’re selfish, Barry Allen!” 
Barry’s jaw dropped. The start of his next sentence died in his throat. “Unbelievable,” he said quietly. A derisive laugh came forth. “I’m trying to save the whole timeline right now,” Bary said, jabbing himself in the chest. “Our lives! Our future! How is that me being selfish?” 
“As long as it’s your mum, or your wife, then you get the green light to do whatever you want with the timeline,” Averey shot back, swinging her arms in the air to indicate everything around them. “That’s how! But if it’s anyone else, we’re not allowed to make that decision.” Barry scoffed again. Averey’s eyebrows lifted and she let out a high-pitched scoff-laugh of disbelief. “You didn’t go back in time for Cisco to save Dante, and yet you tried desperately to save Iris from Savitar.” 
“Averey...” 
“You created that Flashpoint timeline because you went back to save Miss Nora.” 
“Ok, but--” 
“And that wouldn’t have even happened in the bloody first place if you hadn’t gone back in time to save your mum from Eobard!” Barry’s nostrils flared as he expelled a breath of air in one sharp exhale. “And the funny part about all of that was, that it was pointless. Miss Nora was always going to die, and yet you kept trying.” 
“I didn’t even know about any of that until now,” Barry said weakly.
Averey put her head into her hands. Barry planted his hands on his hips and shifted his weight from foot to foot. “You don’t get it, Barry.” 
“Oh, come on--” 
“I’M NOT EVEN SUPPOSED TO EXIST!” Averey lifted her head, eyes ablaze. Barry grimaced at the sudden shout. “I’ve always wondered what our lives would have actually been like if none of this ever happened. If that original timeline, if that real first timeline played out where Nora didn’t die, I wondered how that would be.” She jabbed herself in the chest, her voice cracking. “And I don’t even exist, Barry! Either Henry never has an affair with my mum, and I’m never born, or I’m a different person and our paths just don’t ever cross and we don’t know about each other. But to you, no matter what, I’ve never existed. I wasn’t supposed to.”
Barry wet his lips with his tongue.
“I remember everything from every timeline that’s ever been changed. I remember everything before that tidal wave hit Central City.” She sniffed, using the heel of her palm to wipe at her nose, turning her head away from him. “I remember the first time I told Cisco that I was in love with him, but he doesn’t. It’s different for him. And it’ll always be that way. But you don’t care.”
“Ave…”
Her face became hard again. “Which isn’t a far cry from anything else, because outside of Iris, it’s like nothing exists for you. Except for her.”
Barry gaped at her. “Averey, she’s my wife.”
“And I’m your sister!” Now Barry put his face into his hands. “Not that I want anything to happen to Iris, you know I don’t, but you can always get a new wife. You can’t bloody get a new sibling.” 
Barry opened and closed his mouth.
“And that kind of sucks, because it’s been sweet as getting to know you these past ten years.” Averey wiped at her eyes with her hands. “And that’s what the Thawnes tried to do. They tried to forget that Malcolm even existed, and just put Eddie into that slot. He’s had to live his life based on other people’s standards and expectations. There’s even pressure further down that bloodline as far as Eobard is concerned.” 
“That’s no excuse to act like this though,” Barry said tiredly. 
“Come on, B.” Averey turned away from him and moved to sit down on the couch. Barry stepped closer to her, reaching up to tap his fingertips against the entryway to the room. “It’s easy for you to say that. You’ve never been on that side of being compared to anybody. Because you’re Barry Allen.” A hint of a laugh rumbled in Barry’s throat at her jazz hands at his name.
“Mate, dad compared himself to Joe all of the time because he wasn’t there to raise you.” Barry blinked rapidly in response.
“Dad never told me that,” Barry said quietly, leaning his head against his stretched arms.
“You know Wally had that grudge against you when you two first met, and I reckon a part of him still feels that way.” Averey put a hand to her chest. “I know I still have issues with Iris I’m working out even now, because of how angry I was with her being. Eddie’s going through it, now, too. He’s just now feeling the weight of all of that emotion at one time.”
“And the Negative Speed Force is feeding off of it,” Barry reminded her. “I know he can fight it off. I know he can.” 
“So, do I,” Averey said. “I don’t reckon that Eddie should listen to the Negative Speed Force and take that crystal, but you’re one big ass hypocrite for trying to force him to stop something you’ve already done so many times without a second thought.” 
“Ok, ok...” Barry slowly nodded. He dropped his arms down to his sides and moved to sit down beside her. “I hear you...” 
“It’s not out of the ordinary for people to wonder what their lives would be like if things were different. Yeah?” Averey crossed her arms over her chest, settling back against the cushions. She turned towards the window, squinting towards the bright lights illuminating the street. “Like if we didn’t make this decision, or take that job, or if we just had more time…” Silence feel between them as the end of her sentence trailed off. “You’ve had all the time in the world to figure this out. Eddie has the chance to make that decision for himself right now. He’s still the same Eddie; he’s just faced with a very difficult decision.” 
“And if he chooses wrong?” 
Averey looked at him, a solemn look on her face. “Then we gotta do, what we gotta do. But we can’t make him feel like he’s evil for being human and wanting something he always thought he couldn’t have. Or what he’s told he can’t have.” 
“I just can’t believe Eddie would even consider this.”
“Please. You all thought he was selfish and into himself before this. CCPD called him ‘Detective Pretty Boy,’ remember?” A wry smile came to her face. “Or was that just your jealousy talking? Because he had Iris, and you had a lenghty date with a coma.”
Barry pressed his lips together and twisted his mouth to the side. “I...we...just didn’t know him.” 
“You know him now.” Averey bumped his shoulder with hers. “Don’t hold it against him when he doesn’t choose to act the way you would. That’s not fair to him.”
“When did you get so smart?” Barry asked. “Almost sounded like something Joe would say.”
“Being around all you smart blokes, it was bound to happen,” Averey said, her smile widening slightly. “You’re the paragon of love, Barry. Sooner or later, I’d have to throw one of these sorts of speeches back in your face, right?” Her smile slowly faded. “So, what do we do now?”
“Prepare,” Barry said, just as solemn, “to do what we gotta do.”

@ofreporterintinct
[Iris West. She was my everything, for as long as I could remember. I had also been in love with her since I knew what the word love even means. I stood back for many years watching her fall in and out of love with basically everyone, but me. Of course that was an exaggeration, but coming from my perspective, it felt like she loved everyone but me. In reality though, her only real boyfriend, almost fiance, was Eddie. Then Eddie died, and although the human in me couldn’t help but to hope this would eventually open the door to Iris’s eyes finally being opened to her feelings for me, at the same time, I knew she needed time and space to mourn the loss of Eddie first. But hey, I had already waited this long, so I had already made up my mind that I would wait as long as I needed to for Iris to finally realize her feelings for me...
The time finally came for us. Or at least it seemed to be heading in that direction. Then well, I screwed things up when I went back in time to save my mom, unintentionally creating “Flashpoint,” as a result. Of course I went back again, letting circumstances play out like they were supposed to, yet when I returned to the moment I had first left, I realized a lot had changed. With everything I tried, the only thing I seemed to do was to make more mistakes; not just for me, but ones that affected the people I loved most too. Long story short, my stupid mistake created Savitar, it seemed; our latest threat. Our greatest threat yet, was what my gut was telling me now. The team and I did everything we could to find out as much information as we could about Savitar, but it was limited, at best. While in the midst of throwing the philosophers stone into the speed force though, I accidentally ended up running into the future. In so doing, I witnessed Savitar murdering Iris right in front of my eyes, and me failing to save her, as a result. Needless to say, I was crushed... Crushed, terrified, confused, and a whole lot of other like-minded feelings too. The thought of Iris being killed... That crippled me, you could say. As a result, panic set in, and I did the one thing I thought of first, that I hoped would protect Iris from this glimpse of the future becoming a reality; I ended my relationship with Iris. These villains always go after me by trying to hurt the ones I love, so I deduced that if I kept Iris as far away from me, as possible, I might end up saving her from Savitar. Judging by the look Iris was giving me now, as well as the anger in her voice as she cornered me here in the hallway at S.T.A.R Labs, I had a feeling Joe spilled the beans on what was going on] Iris.... I.... [I started to say but paused. Clearly caught off guard by her showing up here like this. I mean, angry Iris always got me flustered, but this time, it was different. I literally didn’t know what I could say to make this better now] He’s a speedster. God of motion, is the literal translation, and he’s our newest threat. He’s dangerous, Iris, and what’s scarier is he seems to always be several steps ahead of us, so we haven’t figured out how to stop him. [I started to say; wondering how to tell her the next part. I mean, how could I tell Iris that I saw her die in the future? At least not without sending her into a state of worry] It might be easier for me to just show you this next part. [I said with a low breath as I gave a gesturing nod toward the time vault; figuring I would show her the headline that clued me in that what I saw in the future could very well become a crushing, heartbreaking reality, if I don’t find a way to change the events of the future before that]
You'll always be my home.
@IloveMusicals
A home that was supposed to be real 
Something real that was more real than Iris ever expected. Especially after the tragic death of Eddie; the same day I found out about Barry my best friend. The man I could confide anything in. I found out his biggest secret of all that he was the flash. The speedster in red; that ran circles around our city. Ran to be a hero. Barry was a hero on his own without the suit, without the speed. He’d always been someone I admired. His strength; his way of moving forward from the pain. Honestly Iris knew she had been dim to the truth. She had hidden her heart from the reality. The reality of him; of the possibility of us. Iris never wanted to lose him; their friendship. Which is why she played it safe; she liked Barry; we had a connection. 
One of love, passion; but when it came to dating Iris was in those easy early stages of an us. She had went on a few dates coffee dates at jitters, a nice restaurant an italian place her favorite. But she felt like we we were pretending not be ourselves. Was it harder because we had known each other for years? Was the spark completely within our heads? The brunette felt the questions beaming at her. We eventually found our own footing with each other; we talked; we felt okay with Barry speeding off as long as he came home to me. As long as I got my goodnight kiss; the kiss every girl dreams of. It was steady; it was safe for us. That was until Barry started acting weird; he made me feel like he either wanted to escape me, or he wanted to walk on eggshells all of a sudden around me. I was left feeling confused; not to mention that awkwardness around my father; who was like a dad to him too. I felt unsure of myself; I was confused. 
I was sitting in my home living room with my head held into my hands. I heard the door assuming it might be Barry; or hoping on my part to explain himself for his own behavior at star labs, instead I was met with my dad’s he had tear strung eyes; I reached his glaze as I uttered. “ Am I not enough? Did the dream not live up to the reality? I asked more so to myself than him. I felt his arms wrap around me; as he whispered “You’re always a enough Iris, any boy who doesn’t see it, doesn’t deserve you.” I nodded with a prickle of tears that peeked against my eyes. “ Thanks Dad.” He whispered something about saving me. In response I had furrowed brows in confused. “ What are you talking about?’ He realized instantly he said his thought aloud. I felt numb when he said it aloud. 
Savitar? Who was that? He had mentioned apparently I died in the future to this Savitar; and it clicked in my mind; Barry; he saw the future? He thinks I die? More red flags ran up within my head as I stood to my feet more determined than ever. I wasn’t a wounded flower. I didn’t need to be saved; I needed some clarity from Barry; the man who felt it was okay to keep life altering secrets from me. With heels of my shoes leading out of the house; I was a women on a mission. Iris didn’t want to message him and say those dreadful words “ We need to talk” Was he ending this? No but she needed to know what was going on especially if we’re life was in danger. 
The brunette had drove to Star Labs; knowing her boyfriend; a speedster at heart. She had gotten to the lab; stepping inside where the lights peeked on. I had said hello to Caitlin who smiled as I spotted Barry in the hall; I was a girl on a mission. A stern expression; as I asked. “ Who is Savitar?” I asked being coy; knowing if Barry trusted me he’d be honest if he was playing scared he’d hide it and my answer of what to do would be made up. I liked Barry; may even love him; he was the boy I craved; the one I longed for. But not based on lies; what we had was meant to be real with each other. 
That meant letting me in. Arms pulled to teether across my chest.

So, in the New 52 comics, the reason Barry and Patty break up is...basically Savitar? I'm so mad about this?? Just because he had to kill people to get justice, and made Patty unable to look at the right Barry the same way. I hate this. They were so good together?? I swear, if they don't get back together by the end of this series.

Good things about that episode:
Barry being Barry from start to finish
"It didn't go with my outfit."
everything Caitlin had to say about Mark, because she's right, dammit
believable/relatable "dear god my sister likes THAT guy" content
the dynamic between Goldface and his right hand man was fun
Kramer SENT THE META BULLETS TO A.R.G.U.S. FINALLY A WIN FOR THE METAS! (and now it's in the hands of someone responsible who Didn't Fucking Make The Cure For That Bullshit)
return of The Chemist (not really, but close enough)
Dr. Finkel is the superhero AND supervillain couples' therapist!
"It's called a poker face" #dead
Jenna still exists!
whatever the heck is going on with Iris's timesickness, it's creepy as all get out but it's cool
Allegra bringing Chester lunch was really sweet
Barry talking out the CCPD issue with Joe and Cecile in the beginning, and more focus on the overlap between Barry's life as Barry and as the Flash
any time they say Cisco's name or mention him in any way I'm happy
Not Good things about that episode:
Killblaine
Caitlin being made to look like the bad guy when SHE'S RIGHT. LITERALLY EVERYTHING SHE SAID WAS RIGHT. She could have picked a better time and place to say it, but SHE WAS RIGHT.
Screw you, Mark, Cold As Ice is Coldflash's song. I don't even ship Coldflash.
Frost telling Caitlin to mind her own business, but then Marky Mark gets to poke his nose in Caitlin's business and tell her what she should do with her love life?? Why is he allowed to meddle but she isn't?????
Caitlin once again being dissed for not being as cool as Frost just because she's not a hot mess more reserved. Remember the good old days when Ralph made Caitlin feel inferior to Frost and Cisco told him he was a dick and a half and he needed to shut it? (not in those exact words, but with the same energy)
I don't really get how the gas was so effective on Barry, and there's a lot of plot holes with the Goldface storyline, but it's fine I guess, we still accept Thawne and Savitar's existence even though it doesn't make sense
you know, a Westallen/Kamisco/Snowstorm triple date would have been a fun time where everyone present is treated with respect, but what do we get instead?
seriously, Caitlin deserves better than this
and THIS is the in-law they decide to give her scenes with?
could have used more Joe and Iris time
basically I just really hate Chillblaine's entire existence
I miss Cisco

My Arrowverse canon because Screw the CW’S canon
Earth Prime doesn’t exist. Sorry, but the Multiverse still exists and was never destroyed.
Savitar never died. There’s no way in hell that a Speedster was shot down by a gun.
Star Labs is still around.
Joe never died.
Smallville Clark never gave up his powers.
Team Flash pulled their head out of their rear and realized that Savitar was hurting because their future selves rejected him, and added him to the Team as the code name Blaze.
When the Paradox started catching up to Savitar, Team Flash scattered him throughout time so the Paradox didn’t cause him problems anymore.
Caitlin and Frost never split.
Eobard was an Ambulatory wheelchair user because screw the ableist “The villain is revealed to be the villain because *gasp* he stood up from the wheelchair!!!!!!” trope.
Lois still had twins.
Barry never had romantic feelings for Iris. Get outta here with that Sweet Home Alabama crap.
Nora is Earth-2 Barry and Iris’s daughter because, again, get outta here with that Sweet Home Alabama crap. Her powers are a result of the particle accelerator on Earth-2. Barry named her after his mom because he wanted to name her after her Grandmother as a sweet gesture.
Barry doesn’t forgive Team Flash right away after they tranquilized him like an animal, and threw him in a cage after his dad died. Barry created Flashpoint out of anger because of this.
Team Flash actually has to earn Barry's trust.
Iris never takes over as leader in Star Labs because she doesn’t meet the qualifications.
HR never dies in a butt pull at the last minute.
Cynthia never dies, and Cisco never breaks up with Cynthia.
Cisco never gives up his powers, and Mecha Vibe never existed.
Boot leg Cisco never existed.
Tal-Rho doesn’t exist. Sorry but Superman doesn’t have a brother, and your butt pull doesn’t exist in my canon.
Barry shows actual PTSD symptoms. Cisco shows actual PTSD symptoms. Henry shows actual PTSD symptoms. Every character that would be most likely to have PTSD shows actual PTSD symptoms.
Oliver never dies.
Harry never loses his intelligence.
Barry jumps out of his window and fakes his death the day he was framed. He hides on Earth-38 until his innocence is proven.
Bart is introduced as a future descendant of Barry because again, get outta here with that Sweet home Alabama crap.
Francine dies of Cancer instead, because “MacGregor’s Syndrome” is ableist bull crap.
Frankie has DID and not a “Split Personality” because that information is outdated.
Caitlin also has DID because again “Split Personality” is outdated information.
Barry is the living Conduit of The Speedforce.
When Barry comes back from the Speedforce all Jumbled, Savitar knows how to communicate with him because Barry is saying things that he’s lived through.
Barry’s problem with being jumbled doesn’t magically go away because of love. It comes back in spells, and Team Flash helps him through it when he’s jumbled again.
Devoe’s wife frames Barry instead, because again, the Evil Villain is in a Wheelchair trope is ableist.
Earth-X doesn’t exist. Sorry but we don’t support Nazis on this blog.
Martin Stein was never killed by Nazis. We don’t support Nazis on this blog.
Cisco never leaves Team Flash to work for ARGUS.
Eobard is a ghost, because Eddie did not deserve for his heroic sacrifice to have been for nothing.
Patty broke up with Barry because she couldn’t handle dating a Superhero. The two decide to stay as friends.
Hartley is deaf because we don’t support magical cure tropes on this blog.
Felicity never gets a magical implant that lets her walk because we don’t support magical cure tropes on this blog.
Just like there are infinite Earths, there are infinite timelines that exist simultaneously to each other.

thinking about how mcu movie time travel is dumb and makes no sense and aos time travel is just yeah. we’re literally just not gonna explain this because it’s too complicated for your little viewer mind to understand also we don’t know. the flash just goes so fast he deconstructs the fourth dimension??? sir you literally would be unable to exist you’re ruining it. none of these fuckers know what a planck length is they just go haha no that’s wrong anyways here’s OUR time travel you’re too dumb to understand. at least legends KNOWS they’re being stupid about it. yes this place exists in three physical dimensions and one temporal dimension but it’s also outside of them and it’s either regular space or some green swirly shit depending on who’s doing the traveling :) rasputin speaks english but also he doesn’t :) there’s dinosaurs loose in los angeles :) we don’t know what an einstein-rosen bridge is and we don’t care :) now featuring space aliens :)
thanks legends for being so bad at writing that you aren’t being condescending to viewers telling us you know more about time travel than we do. don’t fucking test me mcu i had a string theory and black holes phase in eighth grade i know more about this than you. i’m not afraid to pull up my pdf textbook files and explain it to you. because if 13 year old me understood it then i’ll make sure you can too. this is a threat.
well first of all friend congratulations about you becoming the person who’s going to invent the first rudimentary form of time-travel in the 21st century check ignition and may gd’s love be with you but also do you remember when they were like savitar.... is barry..... from the future.... but for that future to happen.... he has to kill iris..... which already happened..... in the future he is from..... and every time i tried to comprehend how this happened my brain literally started making the noise your portable cd player would make when you drop it. in fact it’s doing it now
listen aos had time travel for one reason and that’s because 1 they wanted to see if they could get critics to like them like they like legends which you’ll recall despite my best efforts is a critical darling that made several best of the decade lists and 2 i lied there were two reasons the second reason was so that daisy could fuck an old old man and ditch her dysfunctional found family for that dick because if you’re going to find a family, they could at least attempt to get along better than a regular family. like 25% more i’m not asking for much i’m just saying your blood family is for hating each other your found family is for repairing that damage maybe they were like listen daisy never had a family so she has to have the bad one first like the rest of us before getting a boyfriend that makes you re-evaluate your self worth for the better and then you’re like actually screw this family and your bf is like you’re so right honey and he makes you stronger like the rest of us
legends saves me the disc-man issue because any time they create a fallacy they just dip nick zano in baby oil and send him down a slip n slide and my concerns? forgotten. legends is actually the master of doing something poorly in a way that’s actually smarter than attempting to do it well. this doesn’t mean they’re good at being a show or that they’re making good points it just means they seem to attempt to understand their place which is, as you know, beneath my heel, so that’s something

For any combination of the ask games you've reblogged recently: EoWells, Hartley, Cisco, Savitar, Olivarry, and [your free choice]! :) ♡
EoWells:
Since I got a separate ask for Eobard and the Unhinged Bingo, I'll just do the word association meme for him here.
who? | only know their name | loathe | ugh | overrated | indifferent | dead | alive | just okay | cute | badass | my baby | hot | want to marry | favorite 
So, S1 EoWells is my favorite. He's such an arrogant, self centered character loaded with genius and hubris and charisma and I really enjoy him. He's a horrible person that I really enjoy disliking. Sometimes bad guys are just fun to hate? That's Eobard.
That said, by the time S8 rolled around I was kinda tired of him popping up like a jack in the box. He's overused and no longer the crafty, charismatic chess player he used to be. He brute forces where he used to finesse and it's made him boring. Predictable. There's a way to do a character who survives certain death with no explanation - see The Master from Doctor Who - where the lack of explanation is part of the character's villainous charm. But having Eobard suffer what amounts to a prolonged villainous breakdown is really just not it.
(putting the rest under the cut)
Hartley:
Since I already did the word association for Hartley, he just gets the bingo card. :D
Tumblr media
Hartley's got parent issues. He's got ex-boyfriend screwed him over and nearly blew up the city issues. He's got can't-stop-pulling-Cisco's-pigtails issues. He's got sooo many issues. And I adore him, he's so fun. Does he want a enby she/they aroace sibling? Because I would happily be that person.
That said, he's totally unhinged when he first shows up. Taking out his anger at Harrison on Barry because, as far as he can tell, Barry is the person who now means the most to Harrison. Possibly Harrison's new boytoy even. It's not rational - and it's a bit annoying, really - but it makes sense that he's striking back at his ex by trying to take away the only thing his ex seems to actually care about. One day I'm gonna write a fic about Hartley going to Barry to turn him against Wells and it'll probably wind up being PiperFlash. But, anyway, Hartley clearly needs help working out his anger issues and his fear of abandonment - instilled by his parents, preyed upon by Eobard, exacerbated unwittingly by Cisco as the 'favored' child if you assume Hartley's relationship with Eobard had some daddy issues sprinkled in there too...
I wish the show would just let him actually keep his damn happy ending. S1, he becomes the only person to successfully escape from STAR Labs on his own and rides off into the sunset probably singing 'I've got no fucks to give'. S2 retcons that and makes him now an ally of Team Flash, lets him be the big damn hero who rescues Barry from a Time Wraith, and then gives him a happy reunion with his parents who've realized they were assholes and un-disowned him. Then the writers forgot about him until S6 where they took away his S2 triumphs and Time Flash ally status to make him a sad jewel thief whose boyfriend is sleeping beauty. Then Hartley gets to... save Barry and be reunited with his sexy lamp boyfriend who awakens like magic due to Hartley's good deeds. And based on the trailers for S9 it looks like they're dragging Hartley out of mothballs and not bringing the sexy lamp boyfriend with him too. (Could be mistaken, but Hartley's clearly in dramatic anguish mode about something.) Show writers???? Just let him keep some kind of happiness!!!!!!
Cisco:
Time for both games!!!
who? | only know their name | loathe | ugh | overrated | indifferent | dead | alive | just okay | cute | badass | my baby | hot | want to marry | favorite 
Tumblr media
My Preciousesssss...
Would now be a good time to mention I can do a muppety voice impression that sounds very similar to Smeagol? :D I mean, I've got a friend who can do much better, but mine is quite decent.
Anyway, Cisco is adorable and precious and while I'm sorry he left the show because there was no heart left in the show afterwards and it was painfully evident that without him they're coworkers, not friends... I'm glad he left the show before they could do something awful like fridge Kamilla or something equally bad, bad, bad. I mean, they fridged his ex after they broke up and they dramatically killed off Frost (I wouldn't say they fridged her, which kinda amuses me while still annoying me that she got killed at all), not to forget what happened to Dante. They dropped a bus on him. (metaphorically) So while I'd love to have Cisco back in the final season, I'm also just kinda frantically hoping they don't bring him back to do something awful to him again because they would.
I don't think Cisco's issues with his parents were ever resolved. They were just kind of handwaved under a rug and then everyone whistled innocently and didn't look directly at the Ramon family issues ever again. That said, he did actually go to therapy after Dante died and it did apparently help him. He's the only one to have a.) gone to therapy and b.) taken it seriously. (looking directly at the S4 couples counseling plotline)
Of course, I'm a fanfic writer. So he's my precious and I must torment him and obviously I torture him better than canon. :P
... I also give him plenty of fluff, so it evens out in the end.
Savitar:
who? | only know their name | loathe | ugh | overrated | indifferent | dead | alive | just okay | cute | badass | my baby | hot | want to marry | favorite 
Tumblr media
Barry's not really his dad, but I count it. Savitar has daddy issues about Barry. (One could argue by the same logic that his issues with Iris are mommy issues. He wants to kill Iris in the way his mother was killed... but I'm leaving that off the card)
So Barry going evil is a fun concept and it is from the comics - see the Future Flash, which Savitar even references in the show. But Savitar existing because of Flashpoint never really made any sense whatsoever and if they were gonna explore evil Barry then I still think it would have made more sense for him to have been the Barry from the timeline Eobard erased that lead to S1 in the first place. Savitar was an interesting idea with poor execution suffering from internalized self-hatred over killing Iris/being destined to kill Iris and similarly internalized ableism over his facial scars. Would not be surprised if Savitar saw himself in the mirror for the first time and went 'ah yes, clearly I am the evil one - see my scars of evil'. Barry's just that kind of idiot, really.
As a third act speedster villain following two speedster villains, Savitar never stood a chance of being a big fan favorite villain. His tricks were tired already and everyone wanted something new - he was not it. He couldn't live up to Eobard's charisma or Zoom's air of menace.
And while the question of whether or not Team Flash's treatment of him in the future is directly responsible for him turning evil is an interesting question - one echoed by their present day treatment of Killer Frost in that season (treat someone like they're already evil and they start to wonder if they really are just inherently evil after all) - the text never addresses that issue at all, so it comes off as a boring 'Savitar is evil because he's Savitar' circular logic thing. He could have been an interesting ethics question but, well... I don't think the show writers ever took an ethics course in their life given the final episode of the Armageddon arc. So perhaps it's for the best that we didn't get that story.
Olivarry:
Oooh, a ship :D
What made you ship it?
When Barry is first introduced on the Arrow, he has such a crush on Oliver. It's ridiculously adorable. He's just quietly fanboying over Oliver's arms and the penetrative power of Oliver's arrows. (There are some things that neither he, nor Felicity, should be allowed to live down regardless of who said what. And, quite frankly, their nervous babble feeds off one another, so Barry deserves to suffer for Felicity's comment as much as she does.)
And when Barry shows up to ask for Oliver's opinion on what to do with his shiny new powers - to vigilante, or not to vigilante, that is the question - Oliver's pretty clearly awed by Barry's abilities and shows off a little. So I'd say that crush is pretty mutual. (They're idiots to lovers, your honor.)
What are your favorite things about the ship?
There's this camaraderie and trust between them that they struggle to have with other characters. Oliver turns to Barry for help for things he doesn't trust the rest of his team with. Barry turns to Oliver when he comes up against bad guys he doesn't know how to deal with. They relax around each other and play fight and are just adorable.
Is there an unpopular opinion you have on your ship?
I kinda wish we could have gotten the canonical comics relationship between Barry and Oliver. But that would have meant having the actual Oliver Queen of the comics and not Batman-lite with a Green Arrow veneer.
Comics Ollie and Barry do not get along. At all. They loathe each other, it's hilarious and I love it. Would it have worked as an introduction for Barry to establish mutual loathing between them? No, not really. So I am glad we got the bright eyed hero worshiping oblivious bi with a crush Barry intro that we did, but... alas, what could have been. (No idea if this is actually an unpopular opinion or not.)
Now for my wildcard... I think I'll go with...
Barrisco:
What made you ship it?
These two just click. Instantly. They get each other like no other. Some of the biggest appeal of S1 is in their friendship. They are the OG Team Flash. Just the two of them, fighting crime on the down low and avoiding the judgy gazes of EoWells and Caitlin. They're touchy feely and unashamed to hug one another and just...
I have a sudden need to write a Barrisco fic where Cisco teasingly calls Barry his potato as a pet name. In Spanish. So Barry, who canonically understands neither Spanish nor French, is suspicious but cannot be certain what his adorable BF is calling him a potato. (The jump to this made sense in my mind, but that's probably ADHD brain at work.)
What are your favorite things about the ship?
They're so often on the same wavelength. Barry's in awe of Cisco's inventions, Cisco adores Barry unashamedly. They make each other feel safer. They feel comfortable being dorky and nerdy around each other. They just accept each other as they are.
Is there an unpopular opinion you have on your ship?
i don't really think I do?

Headcanon: Earth 2 Harrison Wells falls in love with you
Tumblr media
Author note : I am just going to pretend nothing happen to our precious grumpy scientist 
I felt a bit insecure about it I read it like a thousand time before publish it I hope it’s fine please let me know ♡ 
i do not own the gif credit to the owner @irondowney​
Warning : possibly spoiler from season 2 and 3 of the Flash
Tumblr media
It all started the first time he saw you,  when he came on earth 1 for the very first time #DaddySaviour
you were one of those (with Caitlin) who were a bit cautious with Harry you tried to be nice with him but knowing by experience that a wells could be dangerous. 
but still you were one of the nicer with him
he has appreciated that like a lot, but at this moment he didn’t think much of it 
For him you were a nice co-worker as Caitlin was 
Team flash saw you as a blessing, : cause every time you were here Harry tried to loosen-up 
He didn’t  behave like he used to 
Hell sometimes he was about to yell at someone but the second he saw you, he just calm down 
They also started to notice his behavior when you were around 
It’s all start with simple things : always make sure to look presentable even stick out his chest trying to look more muscular (by flexing his arms) and taller if that is even possible 
They began being suspicious
Like I said he tried to cool-off everytime you were around as if he didn’t want you to see « grumpy Harry » which make them curious 
The fact he wasn’t yelling at you didn’t help either 
The last straw was when Harry started to make you coffee, We all know how coffee is important to him but still he always thought making you a cup of coffee : he didn’t do that for the other 
He even threw a book at Cisco for finishing coffee maker and not making new coffee : It never happen with you 
He always trying to find an excuse to his manners 
« Y/N is working hard you should do as Y/N do Ramon » 
« What seducing you ? » 
« They not… you know what you’re jealous that’s all » 
Of course the way he acted around you was an echo to your behavior 
Harry starts having suspicious when he saw you blushing when he complimented you 
Plus you were so careful with him : You always made sure he slept enough, ate enough
His heart couldn’t take it : this was absolutely too sweet for him 
you were killing him by acting like this
And it didn’t help you were one of the only people who trusted him even when he betrayed Barry by steeling his speed in order to save his daughter 
« Come on guys he is a freaking Dad what did you expect him to do ? He never lies about it he always said he’ll always pick his family first and so do everyone here ! » 
He has known about your speech later (cause he was a bit stuck on the pipeline). But for now he has to focus on his mission : get his daughter back 
After that he might try to make a move 
I said try 
Of course it wouldn’t be that simple 
After taking his daughter back closing the last breaches and making sure there no way Zoom could go to earth 1 losing Jay at the process
Everyone wasn’t very cheerful  : Especially you. 
For an unexplainable reason (For Harry) you started feeling guilty about it as if you didn’t work enough for TeamFlash 
If you worked harder maybe you could heal Jay with Caitlin so he won’t die ??? 
Harry wanted to do something about it but again he had his whole « find my teenage daughter » mission 
After the whole Zoom’s chapter Harry has to go back to his earth : his mission was over 
Since he didn’t make a move about your potential crush at each other he didn’t thought he would be good to tell you his feeling. Especially because he didn’t plan to go back so it’ll be useless. But both of you were in love though 
Fortunately , destiny has something planned for you 
Harry finally went back on earth 1 not for you but for his daughter 
But still he was back, and you didn’t plan to lose this chance 
You started to get closer to him slowly at first 
but again, it couldn’t be that easy
He was genuinely concerned about his daughter and he might decided to ignore you (cause he felt really empty without you but won’t tell he was too afraid the feeling wouldn’t be mutual) and we’re talking about Harry he is grumpy and a bit harsh when he wants to. Especially when was bothered by something in our case he was bother cause he couldn’t help but think about you
So one day a fight happened between you two and you just left him not wanting being mean at him and that is how he knows you mattered to him a lot and couldn’t pretend you weren’t. 
he couldn’t rationalize it he just felt it : the second you left the room, he felt empty, guilty, sad the way he felt a lump on his throat as if he couldn’t breath.
He offered you a big belly burger to apologize (that how you knew something was happening)
he knew you weren’t just a crush (still hate his word) to him
It was obvious :  How he was astonished by the way you look. How his heart fluttered when you smiled or just said his name 
Your laugh definitely became his favorite sound (with BabyJesse laugh but it’s a secret)
The way he felt his cheeks burned when you smiled at him or worst when you sent a wink. He became a mess around you.: He couldn’t make any sentence without a stammer or thought properly when you were around him.
All he was asking was to be closed to you, kiss you, Hug you make you feel loved. But he has lost you now has he ? Well that what he thought 
Again Destiny has planned for you :  during a « normal » mission you decided to fight crimes with Barry : even if Harry didn’t want that he couldn’t say anything. You got hurt : some bad guy choke you against a wall and the last thing you saw was Barry before collapsed 
Harry was so tensed : this was all his fault he shouldn’t ignore you so you wouldn’t have reason to go with Barry you’ll be safe. Of course he couldn’t know that but seing you right there unconscious : he wish he could be there and wring that bad guy’s neck 
In a flash you were at Caitlin’s side to let her « does her magic » as she says. 
And he felt it again his stomach was twisted, the lump on his throat and felt like he was about to cry : what if you didn’t wake up ? He won’t be able to confess to you at all. For a moment you were the only thing on his mind. 
His heart was pounding as if he could go through his chest. He will give everything to go back in time just to save you. 
You woke up eventually. The first thing you saw was harry sleeping his hand on his fist 
Team flash teased you about it especially because he was always by your side. Which was true after your accident he couldn’t not being there for you 
Screw Savitar and all bad guys he was stronger enough to protect you 
After that he started getting closer to you. Which flustered you but you won’t argue it felt so nice having him around 
Cisco teased him so much : You just give him a weapon against Harry 
« Come on ask her on date dude what are you waiting for ? » « I don’t know what are you talking about Ramon. » 
The truth is, Harry wanted to confess when he’ll confident enough. But it never happens at least not as fast as Cisco would. Since his « crush » on you it became difficult to work with Harry because he wasn’t really focused on the work.
That’s how the war began. If he wasn’t ready to confess maybe someone could push him to.
The mission was simple : Push Harry to confess
Every member of the team flash decided to help him too. They couldn’t bear this lust/love aura around you everytime you met each other.
Since harry was quick to react team flash decided to force him to confess by making him jealous. Which sound like a genius plan on their mind 
All they have to do was to find a rival. And who is better to challenge a wells than another wells ? 
See where I’m going 
They asked cutie pie HR to play it. He accepted just to tease his friends 
So for about two weeks HR has started his mission “Push harry to make a move for fuck sake”
That’s quite something : every time his dopple’ was around Y/N, Harry felt it his « dark instinct » as he calls it 
Something was telling him to get HR away from you : but how ? 
It wasn’t like you were his. He didn’t has the right 
You on the other side realized what this all was about, and thought it was a great way tot know if Harry was a interested or not. Plus it amuses you seeing him gets angry against HR but tried to keep his poker face.
It took harry two weeks before explode and took you apart from him 
«Harry what’s wrong ? » « I don’t want to see you with him » «  what ? » « you hear me » « and why is that ? » 
At this time he got you closer to him while looking at you right on yours eyes. Harry wasn’t good at feelings he never knew how to say it properly 
So he showed you 
In a flash you were back on the wall while Harry gave you the most possessive kiss you never have. The way he hold you for dear life,  the way his lips and tongue moved against yours. Everything coming from his body told you the way he felt.
After all this time flirting getting distant and get closer again it finally happened 
Harry only broke the kiss because you were out of air, both of you were a mess 
Your lips was swollen by the kiss and his hair was a mess 
« Well that was quite an expressive kiss Harry » 
He just chuckled and then put his forehead against yours while whispering you how much he loves you, You on the other hand told him how fool he was for believing he wasn’t enough

* When Savitar walks in *
Cisco : Whoa, what's that on your neck? *points to a hickey*
Savitar : Oh . . Mosquito bite .
Frost : Hey peeps .
Cisco : Hello mosquito .
And Frost just gives Cisco this dirty look like "screw you".
