[It really was just an exercise to see if Cisco could vibe her from one end of the lab to another. So when Caitlin pops out of the breach and skids along the slick floor of the Cortex of STAR Labs, she is laughing. Until she realizes there's no victory cry from Cisco. No sounds of Barry or Iris or even Joe wandering around. No grumble from Harry either.]

Cisco? Harry?

Well, it's not Cisco or Harry. But it is a guy who kind of looks like a warped-mirror Barry, wandering around this place like he has no idea how the hell he got here.

Does that count as someone you want to run into?

Nope. No. Nope. She takes a step back and the screensaver on the screens let her know that this is STAR Labs. But not the one she is familiar.

"I'm guessing whatever entity is running this version of STAR Labs decided to have you come here too."

The look on his face is somewhere between annoyance, anger and confusion. "I don't know why I'm here."

"That makes two of us, then."

She keeps that anger and fear at bay because...well...the last time they had parted ways hadn't been the best means.

Snow?

[A voice from across the Cortex, making his way out of medical. He'd followed a breach from home to Earth-1 and somehow there had been a misfire, a slip in time and spaceand he wound up somewhere.. unexpected.

But a familiar face was always welcome.]

Harry?

[She's glad to see him]

Snow? What the hell happened? Why is the lab deserted? Where are Ramon and Allen? [Honestly, it's like he can't leave any of you alone for more than a month before things go sideways..]

Cisco and I were testing on how Frost would be able to handle being breached from one end of the labs to the other and I guess he misbreached me to here. How did you get here? I thought you were recording findings while pretending to ignore Cisco?

[A frown. A misbreach?] That's not like him. Cisco's aim is careful. [His powers frightened him so much at first, he wouldn't take a shot without being positive about the result.] Something must have disrupted the multiverse. I was taking the stable breach back to STAR Labs and wound up here instead.

[It isn't like Cisco at all but it's the only explanation she had]

Back to our STAR Labs?

Yes. I was leaving Earth 2 with the intent of coming back to Earth 1. But I wound up here instead.

You were already in our Labs when I was breached.

[That's just confusing]

...how many Earths did you say there were?

No I wasn't.

Fifty two. Fifty three if you want to count Earth-X.

Earth-X?

[She hadn't gotten there yet.]

[She really doesn't know how she got here, and the decor just looks wrong for what's typical on her Earth, but she does work for a breacher and he does get testy sometimes. Maybe he did this. When in doubt, blame the boss.

As Vivian walks around, she hears a familiar voice. Except...well, there's something off about it. She follows the sound of it and pauses when she rounds the corner and comes face-to-face with someone familiar and wrong all in one breath.

But only five words, dripping in something akin to disgust, come barreling out of her mouth:]

What happened to your hair?

My hair?

[Oh no. Was this someone that she had met as Killer Frost? Color Caitlin surprised. It doesn't feel like she knows this woman.]

Not digging this look. [She wrinkles her nose a little, indicating the ensemble she was wearing with the wave of a disapproving finger.] If you were going for stuck-up librarian, it works, though.

[Definitely someone who met or worked with Killer Frost. She doesn't remember this woman though]

Excuse me? Who are you?

[She makes a soft 'tsk' noise and rolls her eyes.] Okay, I know you an' the boss play these dumb games, but I don't. [Her arms go up to fold defiantly over her chest.] Why you actin' like you don't know me?

Boss?

[She looks over this woman]

That's because I don't know you. And who do you mean by boss?

You know, the dork? With the goggles? [Yes, she definitely insults her boss behind his back, constantly.]

Dork with the goggles?

[She can't really think of whom she was talking about, searching her mind for anyone with goggles. Cisco's visor doesn't look like goggles to her. Who...She takes another look over the woman again]

Earth-2?

Edited 2018-01-14 19:08 (UTC)

[She's just going to stare at you. Come. On. Ice Queen.]

Uh-huh.

I'm not from Earth-2. I'm Caitlin. Not Killer Frost.

[Most of the time]

[She tilts her head a little and moves in a weirdly predatory circle around her slowly, appraising her.] So, is someone else on your earth Frosty, or have you just not found her yet?
