Speed and Ice: His spark

Part One: Tears Of A Speedster

Leonard's POV

As I walk into Saints and Sinners Lisa walks over to me along with Mick. "Okay Snart we have an issue." Mick says. I raise an eyebrow. Lisa motions over to someone over at the bar. "and what is wrong with the man drinking? Plenty of people come in here all the damn time guys." I say rolling my eyes. "No Lenny. It's Barry. He has been here for the past 3 hours drinking and crying. He refuses to talk to anyone and just scoffs when we talk to him. We tried asking him if he wanted us to call any of Team Flash to pick him up be he just either scoffs or lets more tears fall." Lisa says. I sigh. I walk over to the bar and set beside him. "I haven't seen you in here since you made that deal with me Scarlet. What has you here?" I say ordering up some of what he is drinking. "You may regret that Snart." He mutters when I take a sip and nearly choke at how strong it is. "The living hell is that?" I say. "Courvoisier. It is a French alcohol you probably have never drank if you aren't French." he says drinking it like it is nothing. "But back to what I was talking about. What has you in here?" I say. He scoffs and rolls his eyes. "Like you care. Your sister and little buddy over there told you I was crying and made you come check on me." He says fiddling with the wedding band on his finger. "Married?" I say changing the topic. He chuckles. "Yeah. I was. He was in the military but died in an explosion. I never went and changed the marital status on my records after he died because it hurt to much. Never took off my wedding band." He says. Ouch. "So Scarlet. To let you in on a little secret I  do care actually. I am not a cold heartless bitch. You helped me on multiple occasions after I nearly killed you. You I will always make exceptions for Scarlet. I am not going to leave you drunk in a bar full of criminals, crying all alone, when I can clearly see you are in pain. Now tell me what happened." I say. He sighs as another tear falls from his eye. "After Henry was killed the team locked me in a cell and turned down the temperature, nearly killing me because they fucking forgot about me. I was grieving. I had on multiple occasions threatened to kill Zoom. My blood was boiling. But I lost someone so close to my heart. I wouldn't have actually tried to kill him. I would have if they just turned me loose. but what I wanted was the comfort from the people I trust my life with every single fucking day but the locked me in a goddamn cell and left me alone with no food, water, company, nothing to do, for 29 fucking hours! After I beat Zoom they acted like nothing had happened. Joe looked at me and told me I was overreacting when I yelled at them. And I ran. I quit my job. Burned the flash suit just to piss off Cisco. Destroyed any trace on where I went. Used the skill on how to hide my speed trace and haven't once thought about going home. I sold my apartment and haven't went back to the penthouse I owned with me husband because iris and Joe know about it. I have nowhere to go. So I came here to drink my sorrows away." He says. "You can stay with us at one of the safehouses." I say. He looks up at me. "But-" He says but i cut him off. "No buts Scarlet. You are coming and living with us." I say. He huffs but nods. I walk back over to the other two. "If I knew he wouldn't kill me I would go and kill every single one of those bitches. They deserve hell. The deserve to fucking burn alive." I growl as i head to my office here. They follow. "Why? What happened Leonard?" mick says. "They locked him in a cell after Henry was murdered in front of this boys damn eyes and forgot about him for almost 30 hours and nearly killed him because they turned the temperature down." I say. I set down and run my hand down my face.
