Chapter 108
Ever since Jesse had entered her coma, Barry had allowed Caitlin to suspend her work on her other projects so she could focus solely to caring for Jesse, who while her condition had stabilized, she wasn't showing any signs of improvement. Barry had gone down to the Star Labs morgue and pulled Thawne's records of the treatment used to help him while he was in the coma to help Caitlin treat her better.
"Dude, why don't you just do what you did before. You know, the magic lightning?" Cisco asked Barry.
"Because how exactly am I going to explain to Caitlin how I knew how to do it?" Barry asked.
"Just say it's the speed force. Barry, can you honestly say you're happy about seeing Caitlin like that. Working herself to the bone, barely taking care of herself, I'm not even sure when the last time she went home was. Dude, you know that the only way she'll snap out of this funk is if we wake Jesse up and you're the only one who can do it." Cisco said.
"You're right. Besides, kind of need Jesse awake for the wedding." Barry said and Cisco nodded as they headed into the base to find Caitlin still fretting over Jesse.
"Caitlin, I have an idea on something that might wake Jesse up." Barry said.
"Really, what is it?" Caitlin asked.
"It's kind of hard to explain, easier if I just show you." Barry said as he took Jesse's hand in his own and once again, sent a current of lightning into her body.
For a moment, Barry thought that it hadn't worked, but then Jesse's eyes shot open and Caitlin nearly wept in relief.
"Thank god." Caitlin said as she rushed over to Jesse.
"What happened? Where am I?" Jesse asked, since she'd never been in this part of the building before.
"It's a long story." Barry said awkwardly.
"I'm Killer Frost and he's the Flash and we saved you after Zoom poisoned you with an unstable speed drug." Caitlin said bluntly.
"Or maybe it's not such a long story." Barry said.
"Wait, you're the Flash?" Jesse asked Barry.
"Yeah, I am. I used my powers to actually bring you out of the same coma I was in before I got my powers." Barry said.
"So, you think that because of that, I might be a speedster now two?" Jesse asked.
"Well that and, what we used to stabilize you." Caitlin said.
"And what exactly was that?" Jesse asked.
"You know the multiverse theory?" Barry asked.
"Of course." Jesse said.
"Turns out, it's not a theory, it's completely real." Barry said.
"You're kidding me." Jesse said.
"We couldn't make this stuff up if we tried, considering the fact that what we used to stabilize your deteriorating cells was the DNA of your speedster doppelganger from Earth 2." Caitlin said.
"Wait, what? Earth 2?" Jesse asked.
"The first parallel earth we've made contact with. Our earth is earth one." Barry said.
"Anyways, on that earth, your doppelganger is the Flash and Zoom was from Earth 2 as well. We used her speedster DNA to help stabilize you." Caitlin said.
"Wow, just when I think my world is as weird as it can get." Jesse said.
"Oh trust me Jesse, we are just starting to dive into the weird pool." Barry said.
"He's not kidding, considering the fact that his fiance is Supergirl." Caitlin said.
"Wait, Kara." Jesse said.
"Is Supergirl yeah and this is actually our base. Built inside the former particle accelerator. Since it's been cordoned off." Barry said.
"That's why she's always here." Jesse said.
"Yeah. But anyways, we need to start testing you for meta powers." Barry said and Jesse nodded.
"Also, once Caitlin clears you, take a few days off to recover and get a better handle on any abilities you've developed." Barry said and Jesse nodded.
"Oh, Barry." Jesse said.
"Yeah?" Barry asked.
"I'm sorry." Jesse said.
"For what?" Barry asked.
"For disobeying you. You were right, that drug, it's not something I should've been messing with." Jesse said.
"You were caught up in your own success and didn't think things through in the long run, I get it. But you should know that while you were out, I had all your research on it confiscated, locked up and with your permission, destroyed." Barry said.
"Do it. I'm not gonna risk anyone else getting hurt because of that research. Make sure there's nothing left of it." Jesse said.
"You sure?" Caitlin asked.
"Yes. I let my obsession with the Speed force pull me away from other work." Jesse said and Barry smiled.
"Nice to know I've got your blessing. Now, rest up and let me know if you start running at the speed of sound." Barry said as he left the couple alone.
