 [ And when people walk down the halls come morning, they will find this giant, hulking piece of  armor just standing there. The lights are off, so clearly whoever wears it is no longer inside. Could they be far? Only time will tell. ]

JUST GONNA SAY IT'S EPLC VERSE CAITLIN OKAY

[snowandfrost]

[She's done this before. Well. Killer Frost had done this before. Caitlin taps on the armor]

Anybody home?

OH THAT'LL GO WELL XD

[vivifier]

[ And there he is. Like some sort of superhuman Jason Voorhies....superhuman-er Jason Voorhies. You know what: like a creep, just suddenly there. Behind her. ]

What are you doing?

[snowandfrost]

[That's enough to get her practically jumping ten feet in the air with a scream. THAT'S ENOUGH TO WAKE UP NOT SO NICE PARTS OF HER]

[vivifier]

[ Which gets a sigh from him. ]

Don't be so dramatic.

[snowandfrost]

[She glares at him. Then aims a hand at the suit, putting it in an iceberg]

Don't sneak up on people.

[vivifier]

[ Aaaaand he speeds her up to a wall. ]

Don't touch other people's property.

[snowandfrost]

[She gasps when she suddenly has a wall behind her]

What the hell is wrong with you?!

[vivifier]

Are you kidding? Seriously? You blast me and you have the nerve to ask what's wrong with me?

[snowandfrost]

Blast you?! What?! When have I ever done that?!

[vivifier]

The second fight. In the park. Cisco gave you some big speech about how Caitlin was still in there, and you just...

[snowandfrost]

Did you speed run yourself into a wall because there was no second fight. Cisco didn't give me some big speech about how Caitlin is still in here.

[Savitar, are you feeling all right?]

[vivifier]

[He blinks at her, staring with disbelief. One good eye, one bad eye. ]

Are you seriously trying to pull that trick one me? For real?

[snowandfrost]

[She does not like this game you're playing and all but growls at him]

What. Trick.

[Because the only trick he's going to see if he keeps this up is which is fast? ice or superspeed?]

We ditched Team Flash and went off on our own.

[haveagoodheart]

[Well. This is. How many ways can this place get any weirder? Nora reaches and touches the armor]

[vivifier]

[ She's about to find out when around the corner Savitar comes stalking. He's been trying to figure out where the hell he is exactly and coming up short. When he sees someone moving to touch his armor, well. ]

Don't touch that!

[haveagoodheart]

[Immediately, Nora draws her hand away, turning to the direction of the voice]

[Confusion colors her features]

...Barry?

[vivifier]

[ She thinks she's confused? He's pretty confused himself. Seeing as she's supposed to be dead. ]

...mom?

[haveagoodheart]

[Oh...First that Word Soup Barry. Now this Barry. Nora walks toward him]

Honey, what--

[where does she even begin with this? She looks at the suit, then at him, knowing that if she ever gets home, she's going to hug that little boy until he's 70.]

[vivifier]

[ The scars, he has to imagine, are startling. ]

...no. No, this is a trick, right? A hologram, like they used on Zoom.

[haveagoodheart]

[Look. It's the mom finger.]

Bartholomew Henry Allen, I know you are not accusing me of being a hologram.

[vivifier]

[ Of all the people who could still get away with calling him that Nora Allen ranks one of two. ]

...how are you here? [ Also where is here, but that goes unsaid. ]

[haveagoodheart]

I don't know.

[To how and to where.]

I just got home from the party store for your birthday and I'm here. And there was...you but not...you. He was fast too.

[vivifier]

[Of course. Of course. ]

He's Barry. I'm not. Not anymore.

[haveagoodheart]

Why are you not Barry anymore?

[vivifier]

Barry Allen created me to save Iris West. I failed and I failed to die. They already have one Barry Allen. They don't need two, do they?
