The Pain and the Pleasure-Leonard Snart

Captain Cold...

"Robbery at the museum. Looks like our criminal is trying again for the diamond." Cisco told me.

"On it." I grabbed my suit and headed towards the crowd of police cars outside the theater. When I got inside, Barry was taking a blast from his cold gun. The cold gun that Cisco built.

"You go save Joe. I'll take care of this guy." I turned around from the column where me and Barry we hiding. He shot at me, but I dodged it.

"Time for a test run. Let's see how fast you are." I heard him say before shooting at civilians. Fortunately, I was fast enough to push them out of the way. I turned around and saw Snart aiming for a security guard. He pulled the trigger and me and Barry both raced for the guard. We were both too slow.

"No!" We both stood over his lifeless, frozen body. I turned around and he was gone.

"It's still numb." Barry told Caitlin.

"It's presenting itself as third degree frostbite." She explained to us. 

"I thought they had hyper healing." Felicity said confused.

"It's been slowed. If your cells weren't regenerating at the rate they are, your blood vessels would have frozen solid and the nerve damage would have been permanent. You're lucky to be alive."

"Snart wasn't another meta-human." Barry started.

"He had a cold gun." I finished.

"It froze things, slowed us down, enough that we weren't in time to save someone."

"According to his record, Snart didn't even bother to finish high school, so how did he build a hand held high tech snow machine." Felicity told us.

"S.T.A.R. Labs built the cold gun." I turned to Barry.

"Dr. Wells, Caitlin, and Becca had nothing to do with it. I built the gun." Cisco told Barry.

"You did? Why?"

"Because speed and cold are opposites. Temperature is measured by how quickly the atoms of something are oscillating. The faster they are, the hotter it is, and when they're cold, they're slower on the atomic level. When there's no movement at all, it's called-"

"Absolute zero."

"Yeah. I designed a compact cryo engine to achieve absolute zero. I built it to stop you and Becca. I didn't know who you were then Barry. I mean, what if you turned out to be some psycho, like Mardon or Nimbus."

"But I didn't. Did I?"

"We built the entire structure you're standing in to good, and it blew up." Caitlin told him. "In the wake of that, you can understand why Cisco would want to be prepared for the worst."

"I can understand that, but what I can't understand is why you didn't tell me what you did. I mean, after all we've been through, I thought you trusted me. I thought we were friends. Family." He looked at me.

"We are Barry."

"I mean, if you just told me, I could have been prepared. But instead, someone died tonight."

"And I have to live with that."

"No Cisco, we all do."

"Barry!" I yelled at him as he walked away. I turned to everyone else after Barry had left. "Barry's had a bad temper all of his life. Just give him some space and he'll forgive you."

"I figured out a way to track captain cold."

"You have to stop naming the bad guys, Cisco." Caitlin told him.

"Don't look at me, the name was Becca's idea."

"Barry, listen to him." Wells instructed my stubborn brother.

"How?"

"The cold gun is powered by an engine control unit, a microcomputer that regulates air to fuel ratios so the sub-cooled fluid in the chambers don't over flow and-"

"Explode." Felicity finished.

"Right. This E.C.U. was receiving updates wirelessly from my tablet. If I boost the signal using Central City's network and send a false update, we'll get a ping back and then-"

"We can locate Snart."

"Or, we can trace the guns cryokinetic signature." I pulled up a scan. "He's moving too fast to be in a car." Then, it clicked. "Guys, Snart is trying to get out of the city on a train."

"Barry shouldn't have gone out there without any back up." I picked up S.T.A.R. Lab's vacuum cleaner. "I'm going to speed you all there. Once we get there, Cisco will do the talking."

"Why me?"

"Just trust me Cisquito."

"Fine."

"Drop it." Cisco told Snart. "This is a prototype cold gun. Four times the size, four times the power."

"I was wondering who you were talking too." Snart turned to Barry. 

"Hey, unless you want a taste of your own medicine, I'd back the hell up." I yelled at him.

"Your friend's hand is quivering. He's never killed anyone before."

"Well, there's a first time for everything captain cold." He titled his head up and laughed. "I will shoot you."

"You win kid." He lowered his cold gun. "I'll see you around." He started to walk away.

"Hey, leave the diamond." I demanded.

"Don't push your luck princess." He continued to walk away while those words rang out in my head.

Cisco turned back to Barry. "Couldn't shoot him if I wanted to. This is actually the S.T.A.R. Labs vacuum cleaner with a lot of LED lights."

I got to my apartment and threw my keys on the counter before grabbing a bottle of wine. Snart's words were still in head. 'Don't push your luck princess.' It felt like kismet when I heard his voice behind me.

"Hello, princess." I dropped the bottle of wine and pulled the gun out from the back of my pants. Snart was just sitting on my chair with one leg crossed over the other, cold gun hanging from his side.

"What the hell are you doing here Snart?"

"I'm not here to cause trouble." He got up and slowly started to walk towards me.

"Then why are you here."

"I think you know."

"Assume I don't." I still had my gun out and at this point it was inches away from his chest.

"I saw you for 3 minutes and immediately felt the sexual tension."

"How do you know I won't shoot you?"

"Please, princess, if you wanted to shoot me you would've already done it." I slowly lowered my gun and placed it on the counter.

"How did you find my apartment?"

"I have my ways."

"Why are you in my apartment?"

"I think you know." He roughly placed his lips on mine. I immediately wrapped my arms around his neck and he picked me up and carried me to my bedroom. How he knew where my bedroom was I didn't ask. It was just the two of us. Captain cold and a speedster.

Finally! I loved writing this chapter because of it's relation to Snart and how he just shows up and seduces Becca. See you next week!
