When Killer Frost was apprehended and put on trial, Kramer used Councillor Strong to push Judge Tanaka's decision to use the meta-cure on Killer Frost. This is thwarted when Killer Frost opted to serve a life sentence to atone for her past misdeeds. Kramer later returned where she was investigating the disappearance of Rainbow Raider. She was also having the metahuman cure bullets be made causing Joe to resign from the CCPD. Joe later found information thanks to a military contact that Kristen actually lead her unit into an ambush as Joe claims to Cecile that she was working with the enemy that wiped out her platoon.

When Goldface raids the Central City Police Department to get the meta-bullets which he heard about from Blacksmith, Kristen and Barry are among those taken captive. Though Kristen managed to break free from her meta-dampening bracelets that were also rigged to explode by mimicking their energy. After mentioning how she unintentionally mimicking the heat abilities of a barista on the ice coffee she ordered while explaining how she can't control it, Barry learns that she has a hard time asking for help.

Due to this, while Flash is brought into the Still Force by Deon, he double-crosses him and traps him in an area of the Still Force while making off with the device needed to find Iris. In reality, however, Deon lost access to his body and is now possessed by the Negative Still Force. He used some of his remaining strength to send X-S to save Flash. Deon later approaches the imprisoned Eobard Thawne and states that it is time to "fulfill his destiny". Their conversation ended with Deon killing Thawne by aging him to death and sacrifices Iris so that Thawne can be revived in his time remnant counterpart's body.
