    Summary

    Leonard Snart despises warmth—except those times when he and Ray—But a routine patrol shatters his sanctuary forever. It starts with violent vomiting spells and a skyrocketing core fever.

    While the Freedom Fighters scramble for answers—and a rebel named Momos gets smacked by his twin Quros for a reckless pregnancy joke—Ray retraces their steps. Deep in Section 24, where Leo previously masked a blackout as a dizzy spell, Ray uncovers the terrifying truth of an escaped entity: the Light-Si-Cosis.

    The biological reality is a nightmare. The parasite breeds by knocking hosts unconscious and implanting a viral light matrix into their core. Leo is pregnant, and the alien biology is fused to his system. Extraction will kill him instantly; giving birth within a week is his only hope of staying alive.

    As the heat alters his body, the physical trauma unlocks painful memories of his upbringing—of a mother who died bringing him into the world and a father who used that tragedy to justify a lifetime of horrific abuse. To survive the light-based labor ahead, Leo must lean on Ray as his anchor. Weeks later, they will turn that heat into a fierce, light-speed celebration of passion.
