Issue #41: A Chilling Conclusion to a Frozen Fantasy

"And don't worry, you're gonna be real good friends with Tim. Everyone's good friends with Tim. Stephanie might not personally be your cup of tea, though. I'm not sure if you'll exactly be buddy buddy with her but you won't hate her either."

"Do I... have to carry... everything!?" I asked carrying all of the new clothes for both me and Barbara.

"I bought everything so yeah, you do."

"What do you even do for a normal people job to afford all of this stuff!?"

"Odd jobs involving computers."

"...You're not a camgirl, right?" I asked before she kicked me in the back of the knee, making my leg buckle and me fall to the floor, dropping all the bags. "Ow!"

"You're gonna have to pick those up, too." Barbara said. I started to get up again when I saw a black boot quickly turn the corner at the end of the hallway with thin ice on the walls. "(Y,N) I'm just joking, I'll help. You don't have to... oh." Babs realized what I was looking at.

"I've gotta go talk to her."

"(Y,N), Wait... never mind, just go." Barbara said. I got up and started walking to Caitlin's room before Barbara said "And Whatever happens, just make the right decision." I looked back at her before going back to the room. The way there proceeded to get colder and colder before I finally got there. I opened the door to see Caitlin sitting on the bed.

"You moved on pretty quickly." Caitlin said.

"Caitlin, it wasn't like that. Babs was just-"

"Babs? What, is that like the new Snowflake?"

"Look, if you're not gonna let me explain anything and you're gonna get mad about new stuff I'll just leave."

"What else could you explain!? You couldn't think of anything better to do than to kiss the bitch that showed up to our door in panties!? Repeatedly called me a possessive killer!?"

"You act like I didn't defend you to death when she called you that! And not to mention you are being pretty possessive right now."

"How am I being possessive!? A bitch kissed my boyfriend and I'm upset!"

"For the last time, it was for a mission! If we didn't kiss, the electric blast would've been big enough to probably kill hundreds of people nearby and Black out that whole part of the country! Ask Barbara if-"

"And there you go again! 'Ask Barbara, ask Canary, ask any of these god damn people on the ship that have been flirting with me nonstop since I got here!' I swear to god mention one more of those girls again and I'm gonna Freeze this entire damn space station!"

"Caitlin, listen to yourself! This isn't you-"

"Or maybe this is The me before I let your dumb jokes and nicknames turn me soft! Maybe this is Killer Frost! After all, I had to have been some sort of psychopathic murderer to end up on the Suicide Squad! I used to be a cold blooded heat vampire but then I was dumb enough to let myself fall in love again! I was too focused on making sure that it didn't end because you died trying to be a hero like everyone else I ever loved, I forgot the alternative reality where you lived long enough to show me you're a piece of shit! I mean, why else would you be friends with Captain God Damn Boomerang!? NO ONE likes Captain Boomerang! The Rogues don't even like Captain Boomerang! I guess I should've figured it out the way you were staring at Duela's funbags!...I guess we just weren't meant to be."

"...Yeah, I guess so. I mean, I was never a criminal so I don't know why I thought a relationship with one would work out." I said. Frost's eyes widened. "You know, my heart's always gonna have a soft spot for Dr. Caitlin Snow. After all, she was my first love. Made me care for someone else besides my sister for the first time since my parents died. But you, Killer Frost? This real you you just described? You could go fuck yourself." I said. I began to walk out before Killer Frost grabbed me by the back of the coat and threw me against a wall. Her other hand began to turn into an ice blade. She started drawing her arm back before in an instant Superman grabbed her, hit her in the back of the head (knocking her out instantly) and restrained her. I fell to the ground and wiped the sweat off of my forehead.

"Are you alright, son?" Superman asked.

"Were you watching that whole time?" I asked.

"Batgirl advised us to watch you two. Every person to take on the Killer Frost persona has been well documented to have violent mood swings that usually end with someone Frozen and dead." Batman said walking into the room.

"Well nice to see you didn't think I was going to shoot her." I muttered. "So... what happens now?"

"You still leave for Gotham in four. Frost will be kept in a Cell I set up in case either of you went awol. Possibly, Clark will talk some sense into her. If not, she'll be sent to Stryker's Island." Batman said.

"I better get her to that cell before she comes to." Superman said before taking Frost away. I sat against the wall thinking about what just happened. Batman looked over at me.

"I know how it feels. Starting a relationship with someone. A criminal. Getting attached, forcing yourself to believe they've changed for the better and will never go back to their old persona. I know what it's like to throw relationships away doing something for the greater good in our line of work, like letting a criminal live despite all the heinous acts they've committed. But we have to live with these choices and learn how to grieve and push on at the same time. Moments like these help mold who we are. They helped me become who I am today."

"Yeah, well, I'm not Batman." I said.

"You're not..." Batman said before he... smiled? "...Yet." He said before walking out of the room.


"...Wait, What?"
