in the carbine plexiglass, e2 killer frost must've just been so bored. there's nothing to really do in-between zoom showing off, is the thing. yeah, she's not restrained in her glass cage, and her powers aren't dampened in there, either, but it's still a very confined space. so she just plays with her powers. makes snowflakes, tries to crack the glass with sharp icicles, draws on it with frost, flares it up with her fog so she can pretend she's somewhere else for a moment.
she doesn't really care for conversation, she doesn't want to decipher whatever codes he's tapping, so she just kinda talks at the man in the silver mask. tells him how quickly she'd kill him if zoom asked. wonders out loud about how long zoom will keep them here, if not until they die of old age, until he gets too big to play with his dolls, until his living trophies stop shining like new. she tells the man in the silver mask how she met ronnie. about ronnie's habit of getting her lollipops on their way to kill a breacher. she even tells him about watching zoom's hand stab through her husband's back like a knife, watching reverb fall to his knees as zoom squeezed his heart in his vibrating fingers, about those lightning hands on her throat.
then she tells the man in the silver mask things he didn't expect. about missing black siren whenever zoom had her crumble buildings in her hometown, about leaving lipstick stained-hickeys on black siren's ribs before reverb breached her away from them as a keepsake until black siren got back to them. about making freckles on black siren's skin with ronnie's firelight and burning touch. about reverb's tendency to flick siren's nose piercing, and siren's tendency to messy up his half-ponytail in turn. musing on black siren's reaction to news of their deaths; did zoom kill her, too, thinking black siren knew about reverb's plans to usurp control? to punish black siren for letting ronnie and killer frost get so overconfident that ronnie tried to kill the flash? if she was alive, did black siren know killer frost was here? was she letting this happen to her to preserve her own life? killer frost couldn't exactly blame her for that one. she'd do it, too.
she tells the man in the silver mask, if that was a normal day, if it wasn't the flash, ronnie would've burned him alive, reverb would've shattered his nervous system, and black siren would've exploded the air in his lungs for daring to call killer frost by her old name, for daring to look at her, for getting her hurt and on the ground when that was their jobs that she had freely given them, back when freedom meant something. if it wasn't zoom himself keeping her here, if they were alive, if they knew, they would've stopped at nothing until she was theirs again. until they were all home together.
she stops talking when they can hear a new voice. chains locking to a bedframe. zoom found a new doll, or maybe he just took jesse back. how many trophies could he fit in his lair until it got too crowded and he needed to get rid of one?
so, killer frost follows her husband and their lover to the grave, never knowing if the last piece of their quartet was alive or dead, and the man in the silver mask never knows, either, because black siren goes back to laurel again, so the dots remain unconnected. the man in the silver mask- the real jay garrick- thinks he's the only one that knows killer frost was in love more than once. that reverb's threats to her were hollow, a game, that killer frost was the first one to tell laurel she'd look good with bleached blonde hair, that ronnie's habit of gifting pre-murder lollipops wasn't limited to just her. that killer frost's world ended three times over before she was even killed. the real reason behind her desperation to stay alive, even if that meant replacing caitlin's place in zoom's heart, so she could keep their memories alive in herself, or at least in someone.
it's the man in the silver mask's secret to keep. and jay keeps it well for him, and for the ghost of the walking dead lovergirl in carbine plexiglass.
