Enjoy this update.


Damian's POV

"You could have run faster." I critique Barry as he speeds Killer Frost, Ralph, and me to the hideout of Amunet's gang.

"Thanks, Damian."

"Just thought you should know how slow you are." I add.

"Doesn't look like anyone's been here in months." Barry comments.

"Maybe the rumors about Amunet skipping town are true." Ralph adds.

"We're not here for Amunet. We're here for her pet snake." Killer Frost comments.

"Oh, I want that snake. I'm going to cut it out of his head and keep it as a pet." I declare. They look at me terrified. "It's not the worst thing you're going to hear me ever say." I fire back.

"Well, the thing about snakes is, they're always lurking in some dark corner." Killer Frost ice blasts around the room until Norvock emerges from behind some boxes. "Hello, Norvock."

"Frost, thank God it's you."

"Where's the snake?" I ask as I pull out my knife. "I'm ready." Norvock steps back from me and Barry pulls me back. Like he could hold me off if I really wanted to cut the snake from Norvock's eye. Barry hands over the list to Norvock to get him to understand how serious this is.

"Those are Cicada's targets, but we need your help rounding everyone up so we can get them to safety." Ralph explains.

"Because they're not going to trust a bunch of masks and apparently a child?"

"I'm no one's child!" I fire back at Norvock.

"They will if you tell them it's for their own good." Killer Frost instructs.

"Some of these guys are bad news. You sure they're worth saving?" Norvock asks us.

"Like you are?" I fire back at him. "You're just as much of a dick as any of them and they didn't kidnap Caitlin." I remind him as hold my daggers pointing them at him.

"Cicada's not going to stop until every meta in this city is dead. Is that how you want to end up?" Barry asks. There's anger in his voice I've never heard.

"Damn. What did he do to you?" Norvock asks Barry.

"The better question is what will I do to you if you don't cooperate." I threaten him.

"We've arranged for everyone to enter a witness protection program. Federal agents will lead you out of the city to safety tonight." Ralph explains.

"All right." Norvock jumps over the boxing ring coming closer to us. "I'm in, but only if I'm the first one on that transport."

"Nice of you to look out for your fellow metas." Killer Frost comments.

"I look out for me and me alone." Norvock exclaims.

"Then let's get to rounding up."

"You step out of line and I will cut that snake out." I threaten Norvock.

"Seriously who's child is this?"

"Say that again bitch and I'll cut out your tongue as well!" I grab onto the end of Norvock's hair.

"Okay, that's enough." Ralph pulls me away from Norvock.

"You're on my list!"

Norvock the snake he is did come through and all of the metas came to hear us out. "I'm tired of waiting." One of the metas speaks up. "This Cicada, he wants to kill us? I say we kill him first." Her eyes turn into those of a snake.
