Warp Speed (A Flash and Arrow crossover Fanfic)

Rogues

Nova and Caitlin sat with Cisco in the lab looking through some old cases, reminiscing. Nova laughed as she saw a picture of The Mist. "He looks like Voldemort." She snickered. An astonished look crossed Cisco's face as he realized the teen was right. "How did I not notice that? That's it, you're officially helping me name my next super villain."

Nova grinned at him. Her gaze shifted to the monitor overlooking Barry and Arrow as they trained downstairs; Oliver shooting arrows and Barry catching them and returning them to his quiver. "He does that for fun?" She asked.

"For the exercise." Caitlin corrected him. "Lucky!" Yelped Nova. "Bast trained me by throwing medicine balls off of a roof -and she made me catch a bowling ball if I missed. I dropped it on my foot once, and seriously, ow."

Cisco winced in sympathy. "That makes Oliver sound like unicorn's and rainbows compared to Bast. Are you still hungry?" He asked as she finished off her smoothie. Nova nodded vigorously, and Cisco passed her one of Barry's high-calorie bars. "Thanks," She said, cramming the bar into her mouth.

Her eyes flashed to another monitor as it blared out one of the criminal activity alarms. She flicked on the live feed, revealing Captain Cold and Golden Glider pulling off a heist with Heatwave. The trio was revisiting the same bank that Barry had first met Bast at.

Cisco glanced over her shoulder and, seeing who it was, immediately contacted Barry and Oliver. "Guys, we've got a problem."

...

"No." Bast was having a very pointed conversation with Nova about Leonard Snart. "Oh come on!" Nova argued. "He shot me in the legs with enough ice to stop a bull elephant. I owe him a severe butt-kicking."

"This is not our city, and not our villain. That makes it not our business. They can handle these three on their own." Bast snapped back at her. "So then why are you going?" Nova challenged. "Because I'm bored." Bast stated, flexing her claws.

"Actually," Interjected Barry. "We may be able to use an extra speedster against Snart." That comment earned him a death glare from Bast, who surrendered to the fact that the young girl was coming.

Turning to Barry, she warned him: "Fine, but she can only go after Snart. And if anything happens to her, I promise you: I will rip my claws through you so much it will look like you were shoved through a paper shredder." The Scarlet Speedster gulped, shooting a look of 'help' to Oliver. The archer shrugged, mouthing; 'Your fault' to him. Barry shuddered.

...

Captain Cold re-aimed his gun for the pair of blurs heading straight for him. They broke apart as the blast of ice drove straight between them, the shorter one looping around to punch him straight in the jaw.

As soon as Cold was on the ground Nova was kneeling over him with an expression of extreme satisfaction on her face. "That's for the deep freeze," She hissed. Her work done, Nova honored her promise and shot back to S.T.A.R. Labs (she stopped for sushi on the way though.)

Oliver had his hands full with Mick though. The pyromaniac was laughing crazily as he spun in a circle, shooting a steady stream of flame at him. "Burn!" He screamed, singeing Oliver's back. The archer cried out at the sudden pain blossoming across his back.

Bast sprung down from the rafters, her claws raking across Heatwave's shoulder blades. Snarling angrily, she head-butted him and the heavyset man dropped to the floor. Cold, still on the ground with his leg pinned under an overturned case, whistled at her. "That was cold."

"And that was cheesy." Bast retorted. She still blushed a bit though. She was sidetracked however, when a blinding pain seemed to overtake Oliver. He screamed in agony, looking uncharacteristically vulnerable. Bast quickly deduced the cause. "Mindbender."

True enough, Mindbender stepped from the shadows of the bank. Bast hissed at him, motioning for Barry to stay back. "So you're tagging along with upstart beginners now?" She taunted. "I felt like a change of pace." Mindbender responded amiably.

Back at the lab, Nova choked on her squid as she heard the man's voice over the comm. She was back in the bank in seconds. Mindbender shot her a startled look. "The runt?" He asked. "Yup." Nova retorted, launching her fist at his face. She made contact, but Mindbender stopped her before she could follow through. "Before you try to kill me, you may want to hear something first. In a few minutes, this place with be crawling with cops. They will have heard the sirens, and be arriving shortly. When they get here, I will make them turn on one another-fatally. Unless of course, I wasn't there..."

Nova barely kept herself from ripping him a new one. "And, you know, I have your friend." He gestured towards Oliver. Bast and Nova stood down resignedly. "Let him go." Bast said. Mindbender walked off slowly, smirking at a glaring Captain Cold.

"Mindbender!" Nova yelled after him. He turned to face her. "I promise that next time I see you, I will tear you limb from limb and laugh like you laughed when my team died."

Mindbender nodded at her. "Sounds fair." He jogged off, and the two speedsters resisted the urge to race after him. As soon as he was out of range, Barry released Golden Glider (whom Bast quickly knocked out), and ran to help Oliver off the ground. Oliver had passed out from the pain, and Barry quickly ran him over to Caitlin. Nova was right on his heels.

Bast stayed behind to wait for the cops. "I'm going to kill him." She fumed. On the floor, Cold piped up. "That's something we can both agree on." Bast shot him a curious glance. "Really?" She purred. "Rogues don't turn on each other...usually." He answered.

Bast snorted. "Oh, a thieves' code of honor." She knelt down to remove the case from his leg. Snart groaned, jumping up from the ground. "Why'd you do that?" He questioned. "Iron Heights isn't about to hold you, and I'm not anxious for anyone else to die during your escape. Besides, you intrigue me." She prowled off elegantly as the first police car turned the corner. She stopped to add. "Although, don't ever shoot my sister again."

Cold gave her a mock salute and nodded, hoisting Lisa from the ground. "See you around Bast." Bast grinned, then launched herself up the building.

A/N So Bast met the Rogues...What'd you think about the light flirting? And I was thinking about having some Olicity in the next chapter. Please comment!
