Chapter Text
"Hey stranger", the echoey tone of Killer Frost said.
"Hey," Caitlin replied, a smile spreading across her face. She finally had her back. She'd spent so long trying and she was finally back.
"Well, we sure have a lot to talk about."
"You saved my life today. You saved all our lives. Thank you."
"Anything for my Caity, and our family," she said, but something in her voice seemed... apprehensive.
"What's wrong? Please talk to me Frost."
"Last time I was out I was... being. Sealed away. I can't remember much after that. And I wake up and someone wearing our dad's face is trying to kill us. I'm supposed to protect you but I can't even do that. What if I go away again? Am I even really. Necessary?"
"Oh Snowy... of course you are. I love you, and you don't have to serve a purpose to be useful for me. I know it's been a long time, let's get you home and get some hot cocoa, ice cream, and a nice movie for you."
Killer Frost reclined on their couch under a blanket, drinking cocoa while watching some cheesy romance movie. Then she heard a soft voice from her head, helped by the mental activity dampener on her head.
"Hey Frost, you know I'll always love you, right? After DeVoe... took you away... I spent every day trying to find a way to get you back. It felt like a piece of me was missing. You'll always be wanted and needed, not because you protect me, or you're a hero, but because I love you. I love you for you, not for what you give me Frost."
"Caity...."
"I'm serious Snowy, you've been everything a girl could ask for, and you just are a gift in and of yourself."
Frost blushed, a rare occurence for her, and held a pillow close. Hopefully one day she'd be able to hold her Caity, but till then she'd just hold one of her shirts over a pillow, listening to Caitlin's soft "There there"s and "I love you's" from their headspace.
"Can I make a request Caity?"
"Of course Frost."
"That name that not-dad called me... Khione. I sorta. Like it. It's softer than Killer Frost, and it's nice to have an actual name for you to call me by. Could you call me that?"
"Of course Khione, I love you. I'd do anything for you."
Frost snuggled closer to Caitlin's shirt, and hid more of herself under the blanket, warm and safe with her Caity. And nobody was ever going to split them apart again.
