Changes After the Crisis (Snowbarry)

60 Race Against Time: 20 hours

"Hey girls what happened?" Frost asked as she entered the Speed ​​Lab

"Er ... I ..." Nora began to say

"Nora and I took a ride, then we tested Nora's powers ..."

"Well ... I warn the others, otherwise they will start looking for you all over the city" Frost said walking away

"Why did you defend me?"

"We are sisters, we have always defended each other!"

"Thanks Cassie"

"I had to ask you something ... but I'm not so sure anymore ..." 

"What is it about?"

"I would need to ask you some questions ..."

"Well ask, little sister!" Nora said laughing

"I don't have to ask you any questions ..."

"What do you mean?"

"Well ... I need to ask Nora Prime some questions ..."

"Who?"

"To you, but to you, the Nora from the original timeline... the one with the memory of how she disappeared ..."

"What?"

"If I'm right I could solve everything!"

"But Cassie, I have no memories!"

"Uncle Cisco and Uncle Chester built a device to recover your memories ..."

"I feel there is but..."

"To fight Darkest Thunder I need my Nora ... and if I give you back I could lose my sister, or you would cease to exist and all memories could be lost ..."

"I will do it!"

"Nora! I can't ask you to take this risk!"

"You don't have to ask me, I want to help you!"

"Is that for what Thawne did??"

"Yes ... he used me, I played her game! The other Nora, your Nora ... she deserves to exist ..." Nora said

"DON'T DARE TO SAY ANYTHING LIKE THAT AGAIN!! You are my sister! You never met Dad, you came back for him and to do so you asked someone who you thought had good intentions! You were deceived by him, you didn't know what he did to your family!"

"She didn't ask a murderer for help, She's not the one who nearly killed someone! I saw how you looked at me! Dad will never forgive me!" Nora screamed in tears

"My Nora ... December 5th ... she unintentionally killed an alien during a fight ... nobody left her alone! You are not alone, you will never be abandoned!"

"Thanks little sister, now let's recover my memories! If I cease to exist, know that I love you Cassie! "

"Thanks, I love you too Nora! Shall we begin? " Cassie said showing Nora the device

"Yes!"

"Perfect!"

Cassie placed the device on Nora's forehead and activated it, emitted a whistle-like sound, then Nora's eyes filled with yellow lightning bolts, then several more red lightning bolts began to spawn from her chest.

Nora woke up with a start on the bed in the infirmary with a big headache, looked around, Cassie was asleep in the chair next to her bed

"Will you stop staring at me?" Cassie asked opening her eyes

"You scared the shit out of me Cassie... What happened to me? My head is exploding, I like Flashes, I see a life that is not mine ... "

"I have so many memories: my first day of school, my graduation, my first day as a CSI, but none of those have dad!"

"They are the memories of Nora first, you were dying, she asked me to merge together... you are Nora 2.0! With the memories and experiences of both! " Cassie said

"I don't know how beautiful it can be ... who am I?"

"Don't start with existential questions! You are Nora Allen, CSI for the CCPD, daughter of Barry Allen and Iris West-Allen, adopted daughter of Caitlin Snow-Allen, my older sister! Then you are XS the fastest woman in the world, at least for the next 2 years "

"What do you mean? You're faster than me, little sister! " Nora said laughing

"For now I'm still the fastest girl in the world! For now you are still the fastest woman in the world! "

"How can you be so good at comforting people?"

"I have no idea! Maybe it's one of my superpowers. Or there are people with innate abilities other than the superpowers of meta-humans "

"What do you mean?"

"For example dad, before he was Flash he was a CSI who could read crime scenes as if he had a computer in his head! Or Iris the only person in the world capable of not knowing how to cook even an egg! " Cassie said causing Nora to die with laughter

"Anyway, little sister ... tell me that was just a dream ..."

"The abandoned warehouse?"

"Oh my God! I'm so sorry!" Nora said in tears

"Don't cry, if you remember that you also remember that I have forgiven you completely!"

"Yes, but I'm sorry! Anyway, what did you want to ask me? "

"What you mean?"

"Sis, I know you want me to rest, but I clearly remember you said you had to ask me some questions, and I'm pretty sure they were very important!"

"Yes, but rest, you have to recover all the memories of both timelines, only then can I ask you my questions!"

In the meantime

"Cait, how soon will Iris wake up?" Barry asked, seeing her come out of the infirmary

"According to Cassie it will take a few hours, you know, for the pregnancy ... Anyway Nora was waking up."

"Good..."

"What worries you Barry?" Caitlin asked seeing his worried look

"Our daughter... Cassie has a few hours to live! I can't believe she'll die before tomorrow morning!" Barry said in tears

"Barry ..."

"Cait! I saw Nora disappear into my arms! I don't want to think the same thing will happen to Cassie! She's a little girl! She shouldn't even worry about saving the world, she should think about having fun and going out with her friends, falling in love for the first time ... instead she will die in 20 hours! " Barry said tearfully as Caitlin hugged him

"Don't cry! I'm sure everything will work out!"

"No Cait it's impossible!"

"Barry, you taught me to believe in the impossible! I'm sure she'll be fine," Caitlin said as she and Barry looked into each other's eyes, almost without breaking the hug.

"Thanks Cait" Barry said giving her a kiss on the lips, Caitlin initially resisted but then she kissed him back.
