Sorry I haven't updated my other stories recently, but I just had to publish this story. Inspired by my two favorite characters on Flash.

SnowBarry Oneshot.

My take on what should have happened in Flash 1x10.

Was I the only one who at least expected to see something happen between Barry and Caitlin? I mean the girl was kidnaped for him.

Barry raced back to STAR Labs. He burst through the doors and flashed to the lab. He frantically looked around for Caitlin but she wasn't there. Barry found Cisco sitting behind his desk working on something at his computer terminal. Barry dashed to Cisco's side and grabbed him by the shoulders.

"Where's Caitlin?"

Cisco hadn't even heard Barry come in. He was startled when the other man grabbed him by the shoulders. He could see the panic in Barry's eyes and the worry etched into his face.

"Dude chill." Cisco said removing Barry's hand from his shoulders, "She at the precinct with Joe."

"What?" Barry asked clearly confused, "Why is she there? She should be here getting checked!"

"Dude, again chill," Cisco said clearly irritated by Barry's constant questioning, "She's fine. Joe took her down to get an official statement for the paperwork. He promised to bring her back once they were finished."

Barry turned to run out of the lab, ignoring Cisco's protest to stay.

"And where do you think you're going." Dr. Wells asked rolling out of his office.

"Where do you think?" Barry asked angrily, "I'm going to the precinct."

"In your suit?" Dr. Wells asked, one eyebrow raised skeptically.

Barry looked down at himself in the half charred half frozen remains of his suit. "Oh" Barry looked at Cisco with a sorry look on his face. He knew how much Cisco loved these suits. Cisco waved his hand in Barry's direction. "Don't sweat it. It was to save Caitlin"

A look of relief spread across Barry's face. "Thanks man."

"Don't get to use to me letting this slide." Cisco threatened, "This was a onetime thing. You damage my suit again, I'll get Caitlin to deal with you."

Barry grinned widely at Cisco's failed attempt at a threat. Speaking of Caitlin, Barry remembered his original plan to go see her at the precinct. He flashed into the locker room and changed into his clothes from the morning. He was about to flash out of the Lab for a second time when Cisco interrupted him.

"Hey man. I got to head down to the precinct to. Why don't I give you a lift."

Barry was about to protest claiming he needed to be at the precinct now when Dr. Wells cut him off. "Go with Cisco. Your body needs a chance to rest and heal after your fight."

Again Barry was about to protest but Dr. Wells held up his hand to silence the young man. "You don't want to over exert yourself. Dr. Snow will not be pleased with that." Dr. Wells made sure to emphasize the word "not pleased" when spoke.

That shut Barry up immediately. He begrudgingly nodded in agreement and began to make his way out of the lab at a normal pace. Before Cisco exited the lab he stopped next to Dr. Wells with a wicked grin on his face.

"Nice one Dr. Wells."

Dr. Wells gave his young engineer one of his rare smiles and replied, "Thank you Cisco."

The drive to the precinct was relatively uneventful. Barry and Cisco sat in silence, both absorbed in their own thought to converse with the other. As soon as they pulled up to the precinct car park, Barry jumped out of Cisco's car.

"Hey Barry!" Cisco called out but Barry was already running towards the front doors of the precinct.

Barry burst through the doors and frantically looked around searching for Caitlin. The precinct was packed. All police officer were called out to deal with the Captain Cold and Heat Wave ordeal. Officers were all over, moving back and forth. All Barry could see was a sea of uniforms. He tried to locate Caitlin's head of auburn hair but he wasn't in luck.

Suddenly Barry heard something. Through the meaningless buzz of the precinct he heard it. It was Caitlin's laugh as clear as day. Barry wiped around and then he saw her. She was sitting in chair in the corner of the office with a blue blanket around her shoulders. She had a cup hot of coffee in her hand. Eddie and Joe were in front of her taking down notes as she spoke.

Barry couldn't see anything physically wrong with Caitlin. Her hair was a bit tousled and her sleeve of her top was ripped on one side. Her makeup was smudged in certain places but she seemed relatively unaffected. Without thinking Barry ran over to her. He pushed aside Joe and Eddie and threw his hand around Caitlin in sheer relief.

Caitlin was a bit startled by Barry actions but she eventually placed her arms around his neck and hugged him back. Barry couldn't describe the feeling of relief that spread through his entire being. He could finally breathe properly knowing that she was safe.

When Joe had first called him early that morning Barry first thought was that this was some kind of joke. It couldn't have been Caitlin's car frozen over. It had to be someone else's. A lot of people had tiny green Fiats in Central City. As much as Barry had tried to convince himself it wasn't Caitlin's car at the Jitters' car park he had a sicken sense of dread grow over him as he had made his way to the crime scene.

When he first laid eyes on the car he felt like he could throw up. Worst case scenarios raced through his mind. He tried to clear to his head, to stay focus. He reminded himself that he needed to stay focused for Caitlin.

When he turned to face Joe a look of pure determination mixed with rage was evident on his face, "I'm getting her back. We have to find Snart."

Barry knew he had been on the verge of a mental break down when Captain Cold had sent out the video. Throughout the entire thing he couldn't keep his eyes of Caitlin. His hands had clenched into tight fist and his nails were biting into his palm drawing blood but his pain had been irrelevant at the moment. He remembered every detail of Caitlin in that video. Her terrified expression. Heat Waves large hands clasped around her arm squeezing her tightly. His vision had gone red when he saw the man roughly shake Caitlin causing her cry out in distress. He had had half a mind to storm out at that very moment and go find them and bring Caitlin back home. Bring her back to him.

But Barry knew couldn't act irrational and make a hasty move or it would have endangered Caitlin even more. He knew Dr. Wells and Cisco would work things out. He trusted that they knew what they were doing and would do everything in their power to find Caitlin….unharmed.

During the fight, when Barry got the news that Caitlin had been found unharmed, to say he was relieved had been the understatement of the century. Knowing Caitlin was safe and out of harm's way was all that mattered.

Just like all that mattered to Barry right now was feeling Caitlin small body in his arms. He didn't know for how long he had been hugging her but was wasn't ready to let go just yet. He didn't think he'd ever be ready to let go. It wasn't until the sound of Caitlin trying to speak broke his concentration that Barry let go.

"I'm sorry what were you saying?" Barry asked, worried that she was trying to tell him something important.

Caitlin smile up at him and Barry feel his chest constrict. He still hadn't gotten use to her smiling like that. It made him feel warm inside especially when it's directed at him.

"I was trying to say that you were squishing me." Caitlin replied merrily, " I couldn't breathe."

Barry scratched the back of him head, something he did when he was nervous or embarrassed. Ummm…..sorry about that."

Caitlin smile at him again and Barry felt his breath hitch in his throat. "It's okay Barry."

Barry smiled widely at Caitlin. From the side Eddie cleared his throat to gain Barry attention. "Hate to break up this precious moment but we need to finish this up so we can take Caitlin back to STAR labs ."

Barry's eye furrowed in confusion. Since when did Eddie start calling Caitlin by her first. When had they become friends? Barry found himself glaring at Eddie although the other man did not seem to notice. However, Joe didn't miss a single look of irritation at that passed over Barry's face.

"Hey Barry can I talk to you over here." Joe asked indicating to other side of the room. Barry really didn't want to leave Caitlin's side but followed Joe none the less.

"Are you okay son?" Joe asked concern laced in voice. Even though Barry was with Joe, his eyes never left Caitlin as she talked to Eddie but when he heard Joe's question, Barry's head shot up to Joe gave a confused look.

"Why wouldn't I be?" replied Barry, "It's Caitlin that you should be asking that question to."

Joe gave Barry one of his fatherly stares. He fully understood where Barry was coming from. If it had been Iris in that position he would have been in the same emotional state as Barry but he needed Barry to understand that him lording over Caitlin wasn't going to help her.

"Barry you need to back off a bit." Joe said.

Barry gave Joe a disbelieving look, "What?"

"Caitlin just came out of a traumatising situation and is handling it way better than you and you weren't sittign on bomb."

"What!" Barry exclaimed, "She was what?" Barry began to make his way over to Caitlin when Joe grabbed his upper arm.

"Barry you're not listening. She doesn't need you doting over her like she's a precious piece of glass. She's a big girl." Joe tried to explain to young man in front of him.

"I know that Joe it's just….." began Barry but he couldn't continue.

"What? It's just what Barry?" asked Joe, his voice taking a softer tone.

"She was taken because of me. Caitlin could have died today because of me." After finally voicing it Barry felt even worst. Saying it finally made it real. Caitlin could have died today because she knew him. Because she took care of him. Because she was near him and he couldn't live with that.

He couldn't bear the idea that someone he cared about, that someone he loved could be harmed because of him. It made him sick to his stomach and no amount of regenerative power was going to fix that.

Joe's expression softened. "Barry you feeling sorry for yourself isn't going to help Caitlin. She knew what risks were associated when she chose to become your personal physician."

"I know….. I know. I'm sorry." Barry replied sheepishly stealing a glance at Caitlin.

"I know son….trust me I know." Joe replied while patting Barry on the back.

Barry and Joe retuned just in time to see Eddie wrapping up and Cisco coming over. Just like Barry he rushed over to give Caitlin another big hug.

"Glad you're okay Caitlin." Cisco said after letting go.

"Thanks. Thanks to both of you." Caitlin said turning to give Joe a big hug as well.

"Don't mention it. It makes me feel like a knight in shining armour going to rescue a princess." Joe replied with a smile.

"Caitlin doesn't like to be called a princess." Cisco piped in from behind.

"Well she is for tonight." Barry countered, "And your wish in my command ….. Princess Snow."

Caitlin gave Barry a disapproving look but he could tell it was forced. Her beautiful brown eyes were lit up with playfulness.

"You may regret saying that Allen." Caitlin replied merrily as she followed Cisco and Barry outside to the car park.

"I don't think I ever will." Barry said too quiet for anyone to hear.

And there you have it my first attempt at a SnowBarry. Compared some of the others I've read this is mediocre but feel free to leave a review.
