[Look who comes skidding across the floor on an ice path! Crystal only stops when she bumps pretty bodily against one of the main consoles in the Cortex]

Okay, ice slides are something that's a lot harder than I thought it would be.

[She gets up and gives a small hiss of pain at bumping her head against the console table before looking around. It's a lot emptier than she's used to. The brunette brushes a few curls out of her face and dark eyes take in her surroundings. She looks young, in her mid-20s. She walks around cautiously, her heeled boots clicking on the floor]

Where is everyone?

[Caitlin is pretty sure that she's right when it comes to Frost.]

I was scared out of my mind. I even tried different ways of surpressing her.

[froststorm]

Why?

[oftwosides]

Being a meta threw me off in the beginning. So much that I didn't want anything to do with it.

[froststorm]

[She raises her hand, looking at her palm as the cold air rolls off of it.]

But it's so wonderful. Why wouldn't you want to?

[oftwosides]

[She gives her daughter a small smile]

I was surrounded by metas and I saw the damage that they could do, Crystal. I didn't want to be anything like them.

[froststorm]

You also saw all the good they could do. Barry. Cisco? Jesse? Dad?

[oftwosides]

That doesn't trump the fear that came with being a meta.

[froststorm]

[She nods at that then tilts her head.]

...can I talk to Aunt Frost about this too?

[oftwosides]

[She should've expected that and gives her daughter a bit of a smile.]

Now?

[froststorm]

[She looks uncomfortable because it's rare that Crys asks to talk to Aunt Frost.]

When you feel like it.

[oftwosides]

[She notices how uncomfortable her daughter looks.]

Give me a minute and you can talk to Frost.

[froststorm]

[She hugs her again]

[oftwosides]

[She hugs her back before stepping back, body shifting almost as if she did this all the time. The shift leaving Killer Frost before her.]

Now what could you want?

[There's a partial smile there because Crystal was... well, slightly a mini her. Without all the bells and whistles.]

[froststorm]

[She grins and lets the shift happen in her own eyes]

Guess I'm a lot more like you and mom than any of us wanted to guess.

[oftwosides]

How much like me?
