Caitlin flopped down on her bed after the long day she had. She was exhausted but relieved that she finally told her friends about what was bothering her and Killer Frost. It felt good to let it all out. A huge weight was finally lifted off her chest and shoulders.

Savitar was leaving too. She didn't know how she felt about that. She should feel relaxed now that he was going to be gone. No more worrying about what he's going to do if he's going to act out and do something Savitar. She has been a control freak her whole life and she likes when things are predictable for her. Predictable means safe. Savitar was the definition of unpredictable. She never knows what he'll do next and that made her uneasy sometimes. Her job of helping him was done now though. She did her part to help him. He can now move somewhere and start a life of his own and maybe try to have a normal life. Although she knew deep down that he could never have a normal life. Things will never be the same for him again after what he went through. She can just hope the best for him. She will probably never see or heard from him again so why does she have this tugging feeling in her stomach that this was only just the beginning for her?

She shook her head and got off the bed to take a quick warm shower and change into her pajamas before she sleeps. Maybe she was just overthinking everything as usual. Savitar will be gone. Her friends know about Killer Frost. Everything will go back to the way they were.

She stepped into the shower, closing her eyes and enjoying the water when suddenly she felt a cold sensation. She checked the heater and the water but it was warm. Then why was she suddenly feeling cold? She looked in the mirror to see that her lips were turning blue. Oh no please this can't be happening. She thought to herself, stepping out of the shower and quickly wrapping her robe around her.

She looked down at her necklace to see it was turning white and she felt the urge to rip it off her. No no no I have this under control, I need to have this under control. I thought to myself. She tried to push down the Killer Frost part of her that was itching to come out. This was getting worse and out of control.

She reached for her phone to call Cisco or Barry or anyone really who she has on speed dial. She felt a surge of panic and she didn't know what to do. The panic seems to make it worse because the phone slipped from her fingers. She reached down to pick it up and when she did, her hair fell forward. She yelped to see it was white. She snatched a mirror from the dresser and looked at herself. Her lips were white—her whole face had turned white and so was her hair.

She yelled and smashed the mirror on her dresser angrily. All she felt now was cold. Bitter cold and not just the temperature. Her emotions were cold and she felt anger. The anger she's never felt before. She felt the Caitlin part of her slowly slipping and that's when she ran. She hadn't even put on proper clothes yet. She only had a bathrobe on her but she ran out of her apartment as fast as she could. It was late and she didn't exactly know where she was going. She was panting hard but she couldn't just sit there and let Killer Frost takeover so she ran with no destination.

She found herself in front of a clothing shop. She stared at her reflection from the glass window. At this point, she was no longer Caitlin Snow. She had become Killer Frost. She slowly traced her face. The light in her eyes was gone, replaced by darkness. Her hair was completely white blonde, her lips were white and her skin had become white. She chuckled at herself. Do you think you can lock me up forever Caitlin? You are so wrong. I thought to myself. She could still feel Caitlin Snow deep down inside somewhere, trying to take control again. She pushed her down away. She was finally free. Not completely free yet until she gets rid of Caitlin for good, but free. She finally took control of my body. She was finally out. Killer Frost is back. After years of being locked away and unconscious.

She took off her robe now completely naked. Just as she was about to blast at the door of the shop with ice, she heard footsteps. She whirled around—ready to ice blast whoever it was. She stopped when she realized who it was.

"Caitlin." Said Savitar in a hushed breath.

I walk towards him slowly, simpering. "Wrong. Try again."

His eyes flickered with realization. "Frost."

I clapped my hand and giggled. "Oh good, you still remember me? Did you miss me?"

He stood there frozen as he stared at her. He looked slightly confused. "What are you doing here in the middle of the road naked? And what happened to Caitlin? How is this possible? How are you here? And how do you know me?"

I rolled my eyes and waved the questions away. "Oh, honey always with the questions. So boring. Aren't you going to offer me your jacket? It's rude to let a lady be naked. Although you haven't changed a bit. I see you're still wearing a black jacket and a black outfit as always. So emo. That's what I like about you."

Savitar knitted his eyebrows and approached her calmly. "Why are you acting like we know each other?"

Frost pouted. "Because we do, dear old friend. At least in the other future timeline anyway. Not in this timeline. Are you telling me you forgot all about me? We had so much fun together." She cackled gleefully.

Savitar narrowed his eyes. "Yes I remember, of course, I do. We only had each other when Team Flash locked you up and shunned me."

Frost stepped towards him and took off his jacket from him. "For a speedster, you're slow." She put it on herself and took a long sniff at it. "Mmm, I recognize that lovely scent of you anywhere. I missed you so much Savi, especially that pretty little face of yours. We're going to have so much fun together again."
