SnowBarry Memory Unlocked

Twenty

Juilan stood outside and watched Caitlin and Barry as they embraced each other. A little bit of jealousy rose inside the pit of his stomach. He wished he had that kind of bond with her. Even with her memory playing up, she still managed to have the bond that she shared before. He couldn't explain the feeling he had inside. 

"You ok?" Came someone's voice from behind him. Turning around he found Iris standing there. She was looking at him with a blank expression. 

"Yeah, just thinking that's all. Feels like all this is happening and don't really have time to actually processes all this information," he answered. 

"I know that feeling. I know a lot of this stress is because of me. Everyone here is doing what can can to make sure that I don't die. Even Wally has been with Jessie on Earth 2 training to save me but I don't know," shared Iris. 

She also saw Barry and Caitlin in the other room. A small smile spread across her face. She looked away and sat down. Juilian saw her reaction and followed. 

"How do you do that?" He finally asked. 

"What...I don't know. I have my while trust on team Flash. I know that they will do whatever to make sure that they change the future."

"No not that. I mean how can you sit here knowing and seeing the relationship Barry and Caitlin have. Don't you feel like you may be coming in between them. What if they have more than just friendship," cleared Juilain. 

Taken aback by this Iris looked at them again. "I have always known that they share something special. They are each other's support system and I'm glad that they have each other. They understand each other more than anyone of us and how can I be jealous or scared about that kind of relationship. I think Caitlin grounds him and her voice in his ears guides him as the Flash and he helps her keep her away," said Iris. 

"I guess I never thought about it that way. I understand the struggle that they both are going through and I also know that Barry has so much on his plate. I know that he knows what he is doing. But i mean this all could have been avoided if only Barry hadnt insisted on gettin to the bottom on the murder/robbery case. His focus from Savitar is slipping," added Juilan. 

His phone buzzed and he excused himself from there leaving Iris alone. She was thinking about what he had just said. Was he right. Could this issue be avoided?

"We may actually may have a metahuman in our hands after all," said Cisco. He rolled from one desk to another with a huge smile. "I may just have solved this case after all." 

"Cisco, like I said befor. You aren't making any sense and it's not even your geek talk that is confusing me," said Joe. 

"Harsh," smiled Cisco. "Fine I'll make it simple for you to understand. The properties of the stone was changed to make it into the memeory sucking device. The stone holds the ability to heal which concept is out of this world. So what memory magic troop have done is added a new DNA which belongs to a metahuman..." explained Cisco.

"And the DNA is of a metahuman," added Joe.

"Yup. That is how they managed to change a cure into a weapon. Now that they have that quantity of the stone, we have to find  out what they are planning and stop them." 

"I may have found us a lead on that," came in Juilian. I had one of the officers at CCPD keep an eye out for any difference around town that could help us. And I just was notified that an old Research building just outside of Central City was seen in use. The Research building closed down after the company went bankrupt and was bought but Lillian Plaza Research Facility. That hasn't been used in 2 years and recently there was activity noted there."

"And you think that they is the place that they would go?" Asked Cisco. "They are smart they would know that we would know they are there. I mean a Research lab."

"No I think Juilian is onto something. They have been creating their new formed stone thing in a small lab but with a large quantity they need a bigger space. But that also means that they are going to be moving fast," explained Joe. 

"We need an action plan ASAP," said Juilian.

"Barry, I trust you and I know that you won't hide anything  from me," said Caitlin. "But I also know that there is something that everyone is hiding from me. I see the way there is a tension that all share but don't address. Also it has nothing to do with the whole memory theif." 

Barry poured Caitlin a glass of water and handed it to her. He avoided eye contact as he answered, "everything is fine. This is just a case that is just different. We haven't dealt with a case like this that has nothing to do with a metahuman."

"Barry, you can't even look at me when you answer. I want to help and I know that even though I may not remember much, I still can help," smirked Caitlin. "Is it Killer Frost?" 

"No, we have managed to keep her in check. As long as you are wearing that necklace, she isn't taking over. Like I promised you, we care about you too much to let anything happen to you. We are all working hard to reverse this memeory lapse. It is a priority for us all. Especially since we don't fully know what we are dealing with." 

Caitlin gave him a smile and a sense of relief spread over her. For a second she had a feeling that he was hiding something from her but now she felt relief. She looked behind Barry to see Iris standing  at the door. She looked distracted and upset about something but as soon as she saw Caitlin looking at her she smiled and stepped in. 

"Barry, Cisco and Juilan found something that may lead you to John and Jules. Dad is going in to CCPD to get backup. He wants you to suit up and wait for them to come," informed Iris. 

Barry nodded to Caitlin and Iris and then was gone. Iris thought about what Juilain had said and what he just heard. Was it something to worry about or was she just over thinking it. Caitlin at the moment needed full attention it wasn't fair to ask Barry to choose. He loved her and he would do anything keep her safe. So what if he was busy with Caitlin. She was just over thinking it all... Or was she...
