SnowBarry Memory Unlocked

Fifty-One

Iris waited in downstairs as Joe went out to make sure that it was safe for her to leave. The plan once again had changed and Wally was coming back to take Iris to earth 2. First Joe was driving Iris out of Central City while Barry and team distracted Savitar and Killer Frost. Iris felt like she was running away like a coward and she hated that she wasn't much to the team. But this her staying away and safe was the best way to help them at that point.

The door opened and Joe's head popped in. He had sweat beads on is forehead but he remained calm.

"All good, we don't have much time," whispered Joe. Wally will come soon and Felicity has the Arrowcave ready for you till he is there to take you."

"I don't about this all. I feel like running it's going to change the fact that he wants me. Why am I the one that gets to walk away while all are fighting to save me?" questioned Iris.

"Honey, we have gone over this and the more you do that, it isn't going to change the fact that you are important to us all. We all want to do what we can to make sure that you are save. We all know that you being his victim is the first step to the destruction of this earth. Barry will be broken and there wont be a Flash."

"Oh how sweet... Yes Iris, you should listen to your father. Everyone is doing what they can to save you. I should know, I was left to defend myself," came the cold voice of Killer Frost.

Joe turned and pulled out his gun on her but froze. He wanted to protect and was willing to do anything for the safety of his daughter. But with Caitlin standing in front of him, he couldn't bring himself to hurt her. She may refuse to accept that there is even a small hope that Caitlin is alive in her, but he and the rest believed it.

"Please Caitlin, I don't want to hurt you. You know that you are like a daughter for me and I'm not hurting one daughter to save another."

"So sweet Joe, yet I still got the hard part of this bargain now didn't I," exploded Killer Frost. She was now shaking slightly with anger however, Iris could see in her eyes that she was trying to hide something. She was batting herself as Caitlin was fighting to come out.

"Caitlin, I know that it wasn't easy and I also know that you know that we all care..."

"You don't know how I feel," yelled Killer Frost. "I gave everything to this team. I gave my life to make sure that this city got the hero it deserved, I gave up the man I loved and yet I was left with nothing. No, time to pity and cry over what should have been is over."

Joe went forward to stop Killer Frost while she was distracted but failed. She snapped back to the moment and she grabbed his hands and pulled him. With her other hand she pinned his hands to the wall and around his wrist ice grew. He was now pinned to the wall, trying to free himself in vain.

"I don't have anything against a father trying to protect his daughter, Joe," she said. "I have to do what Savitar wants because he is the only one that understood me and was willing to accept me. With him, I know who I'm."

Iris tried to run but it was no use. Killer Frost threw an ice crystal towards her and it stabbed her in her thigh knocking her forward. She yelled in pain but was unable to move. She dragged her leg trying to get away. Too late... Killer Frost grabbed her hand and pulled her out of the house.

                     //~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~\\~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~//

"Barry, that was Joe. It doesn't look good," HR hurried into the Cotex. "Killer Frost came and took Iris. They were planning on going to Starling City and then Earth 2 for safety yet Killer Frost took her."

"No, this is already happening and now there is no option but to fight," fumed Barry.

He looked at his suit and with a great amount of pressure and weight, he zoomed and changed. He had to do what needed done. But there was one thing he had to do before he made his stand.

                       //~~~~~~~~~~~~\\~~~~~~~~~~//

Killer Frost pushed Iris and she fell to the floor with pain still running up her leg. Savitar turned around and watched Iris as she tried to stay calm in front of him.

"Well well... you really thought that you could run away and you would be safe," he said in a cold robotic voice.

Iris looked up at him and was face to face with not the metal suit of Savitar but Future Barry. He had great anger and hatred in his eyes.

"Do what you have to, just know that I'm not scared. I have made peace with this all."

"I don't care what you have done or haven't done. Barry is the one that has to pay. He is the reason why this has come to this," screamed Savitar. "This all has been his fault as he is the reason why you must die for me to survive."

Killer Frost walked away as something inside her was turning and hurting her. The thought of standing there watching and knowing that soon Iris would be dead hurt. Was there still a part of Caitlin left that cared what happened?

"You know what you have to do now," called Savitar to Killer Frost. "He will come to you one last time to make you understand... just know that he isn't there for you but for her."

Killer Frost walked away leaving Iris and Savitar. What they all were trying to prevent; the moment of truth was here. It was all going down and a part of her wished that she could stand by Barry's side. Iris didn't deserve to die but then again... Savitar knew what he was doing. She was no one and no one truly cared for her. It was always Iris...
