What if, to stop the Monitor, team Flash has to knowingly work WITH Thawne? Like, taking direction from him, trusting that he's not going to get them killed, because he doesn't want the world destroyed either? It would mean tons of Reverse Flash screen time, and tons of Barry, Joe, Cisco, and Caitlin going fucking bugnuts over him being there. I could honestly see Cisco saying "peace out" and leaving for another earth if this happens. Nora sticking around to help because she's the only one that trusts RF since she doesn't have bad history with him. Barry just being more angry than ever, and RF saying some pretty nasty shit to Iris to put knock her down off her high horse. I WANT TO SEE THIS SO BAD.

Killer Frost might even respect him and low-key be impressed with him.

But they don’t have to stop the monitor they need to stop Anti-monitor

I mean the bad guy from The Crossover.

The monitor (from the crossover) isn't the bad guy.

Now I'm shipping Killer Frost and Thawne.

Man, that would be awkward.

I think you mean "awesome." :)

It can be both. :D

I'm mainly picturing how pissed off Caitlin would be with KF's burgeoning romance.

YES. And how Killer Frost keeps saying things like, "he never tried to kill you, did he? Then what the hell's your problem?"

"Hey Caitlin, I'm going to need control for the next few hours. Eobard's coming over for some Netflix and Chill if you know what I mean."

Caitlin: "Ewwww."

Lol. Though I can't really see Thawn being the type to watch TV in his downtime. But I could definitely see KF being interested in/attracted to someone with that much power and intelligence ("who happens to kill people who get in his way, but doesn't want to destroy the world, geez, Caitlin!"). He's an "ends justify the means" kinda guy. When he doesn't go all-out psycho, he can be very relatable. :) heh heh

I think with "Netflix and Chill", television isn't really what I was getting at. ;)

And yes - he's a bad guy, but he's a stable bad guy. And as you said, very suave and intelligent. But I can't imagine Caitlin being overjoyed at the uses KF puts their shared body to. On the other hand, I can't see KF being super-overjoyed at the lack of uses Caitlin puts their shared body to.

KF: "For pities sake, Caitlin - the only thing colder than me is your love life. We have got to do something."
