Just a little clarification, I am not pairing Caitlin up with Ronnie or Cisco. I'm trying out some new pairings in this story to try and distance it from the canon as much as I can while still using those characters. Feel free to guess who I'm pairing Caitlin up with and remember, a change in reality can change more than just history, but it can also change personal details about someone. Hint, hint. Also, I will not be doing an Iris/Eddie pairing, really just because I have no idea how to write for Eddie.

"Wait, so you're saying that we're still connected?" Ronnie asked as Cisco and Caitlin ran tests on him and Stein.

"Yep, your brainwaves are perfectly connected, beta, alpha, theta delta, it's incredible." Caitlin said.

"It must be a residual side effect of your attraction." Wells said.

"Can we undo it?" Ronnie asked.

"Maybe, but for right now, I think that maybe you two should try accepting the change and accepting each other, since something tells me that you two being separated for too long would not be a good thing." Cisco said as Wells looked at his tests.

"I'm afraid Cisco is correct." Wells said.

"What do you mean?" Stein asked.

"Each of you now possess half of the Firestorm matrix. Like all matter, the matrix yearns to be whole and I'm afraid if it remains separated for too long, it will begin generating a reaction similar to nuclear fission." Wells said.

"So we're stuck like this?" Ronnie asked.

"Yeah, but look at it this way, now you have super powers." Cisco said.

"Except even though it was my face, I was never the one holding the controller." Ronnie said.

"That might be because you didn't actually merge properly. When you resist something, things can go wrong. But if you two accept each other, accept the balance of the matrix, you might find a more preferable outcome." Wells said.

"You two are going to have do it again eventually to maintain stability, so you might as well enjoy the rush." Cisco said.

"How can we be sure it'll work?" Ronnie asked.

"The splicer will help maintain balance." Cisco said, handing it to them.

"Well Mr. Raymond, perhaps we should give it another go." Stein said.

"Fine. But I swear to god if I end up in that hellish state again Cisco I'm going find a way to get control and burn you alive." Ronnie said.

"Actually, Cisco also has powers and unlike you, he's actually been practicing them, so that might be a bit harder than you think." Caitlin said as Ronnie and Stein stood up and after looking reluctant for a moment, they joined hands and merged back into Firestorm.

"Ronnie?" Caitlin asked.

"It's me. But I can hear Stein in my head. He's saying that we've merged properly on this attempt." Ronnie said.

"And now that you have, you two should be able to split and merge with ease." Wells said as they did so.

"Nice." Cisco said.

"I think we're getting good at it." Stein said.

"We can help you figure out more of these abilities here." Cisco said.

"Actually, I have a colleague in Pittsburgh who I think will be more beneficial to that, since you clearly already have your hands full in this city." Stein said.

"I'm game for that. As long as I'll have a job when I come back." Ronnie said, looking at Wells.

"I'm surprised you still want to work here, but yes Ronnie, when you come back, you'll always have a position here waiting for you." Wells assured him and Ronnie smiled.

"But, before you go, any chance we could have guys night like we used to?" Cisco asked Ronnie, who grinned.

"I think we can wait until tomorrow to leave. Right Professor?" Ronnie asked Stein.

"Of course. After all, I still need to let my daughter know I'm not dead." Stein said.

"Hey, where's Barry?" Caitlin asked, since she'd just noticed that the speedster was gone.

"He said he had something to take care of and then he was meeting Kara in Star City." Cisco said, since he knew that Barry was really doing and he also knew that Kara had another motive for being in Star City aside from helping her sister.
