It's been a week since Barry and Caitlins almost kiss. Cicada hasn't show up anywhere and hasn't come back to the hospital to visit grace. "Ok, I'm going to go home, I'm feeling tired" Iris says

"I'll take you" Nora says leaving Cisco, Dawn, Caitlin and Barry in the cortex. Barry and Caitlin glanced at each other every now and then which did not go unnoticed by Dawn or Cisco.

"Are you guys ok?" Cisco asked

"What do you mean?" Barry said

"You two have been acting weird lately" Cisco said

"We haven't been acting weird" Caitlin said "Maybe you've been acting weird?"

"Ok" Cisco said not believing them

Barry then got a notification on his phone from Joe "I got to go to work, I'll see you guys later" he said and sped away.

"I'm going to go do work in my lab" Caitlin said taking her tablet with her.

"There is something weird going on right?" Cisco says to Dawn

"Ohh yeahh" Dawn says

"You know something" Cisco says

"No I don't" Dawn says and bites her lower lip

"Ah ha! Your biting your lower lip so you must know something" Cisco exclaims

"Ok fine, just you can't freak out ok?" Dawn says looking at her mother working in her lab and Cisco nods leaning closer so Dawn could say it softer. "They almost kissed" she whispered to Cisco

"WHAT?!" Cisco says

"Shhhhhhhhh" Dawn says looking at Caitlin who didn't notice

"What?!" He says in a whisper "When?!"

"After we went back in time and Killer Frost came out to defeat Cicada" she says

"I need to see this" Cisco says looking at the security feed. He saw them teasing each other. He them admire each other. He saw them about to kiss when Dawn sped in. "Why did you speed in?" Cisco said annoyed

"Because that's not how it's supposed to happen" Dawn said

"What's the big deal? So it happens a little earlier?" Cisco said

"The futures already changed so much and for all I know my brother and sister could be erased out of existence" Dawn argues back

"There are two more little Snowbarry children" Cisco said in awe thinking about it and Dawn nodded. "Can you tell me their names?" Cisco asks

"No you shouldn't even know they exist" Dawn said

"Well your no fun" Cisco said and Dawn rolled her eyes

Later that day there was an electrical surge at the power plant and Dawn and Barry sped there to go deal with it. Cisco and Caitlin were quarterbacking the mission. "Ok I don't see what's wrong" Barry says and then a lightning comes and hits one of the nearby structures "Found it"

"The skies were clear a minute ago" Caitlin says

"Uh guys we've got bigger problems" Cisco said "There is a experimental cold fusion core at the plant if the lightning hits it could blow up a whole block"

"You get the workers I got the cell" Barry says to Dawn who nods and speeds away. Barry saw a lightning was heading towards the core and went into Flashtime. He got the core a second before the lightning hit the power box and sent sparks flying as well as Barry. Dawn came back to see her dad on the floor holding onto the core.

"Dad" Dawn said and rolled him over so his back was on the floor. Dawn checked his pulse and felt nothing. "Guys he's not breathing" She said panicking over the coms
