The Time of Snart

21

The main deck fell silent as Leonard Snart stepped into the room. Everyone averted their eyes and pretended to be busy with something. Happy to not have anyone intruding on him, he sat down against the wall in the back of the room. 

He sat there, thinking over the recent events. They're close to finding a way to fix the apparition, all they have to do is figure out what it really is. What kills Lisa, what is it...

Suddenly, on the main computer a video popped up. It looked like a webcam being played on the screen.

"What?" Rip cried, pushing buttons and clicking many things, trying to fix something, the video stayed on the screen, unwavering.

"What is that?" Kendra asked, stepping towards the screen.

"I don't know, I'm not doing it," Rip said, his brow furrowed, "Gideon! What is this? Shut it off!"

"I'm sorry, Captian, I have been blocked out of the controls of the screen by an outside source. My apologies," the A.I. said.

"What do you mean..." Rip said, stepping away from the controls.

Then, a man came into view on the camera. 

"Hello, my name is Bert, maybe you remember me and my partner, Mr. Snart," the man said, "Hey, Snart I've got it on!" he called to someone out of  the picture.

Leonard's eyes widened, recognizing Bert from 2010 immediately. 

"Well, I'll make this brief. You, Leo, are going to join me and my partner and help us with something, or..." Bert paused, pulling up a little picture that had been folded a few times. He unfolded it and stuck it up to the camera, revealing a picture of Lisa Snart. "Or, this little beauty is going to get a surprise visit," Bert said, smiling.

Leonard, launched up from the floor, coming right up to the screen, breathing hard.

Suddenly, Bert grabbed his head, groaning. He started yelling, he looked up to the camera, pain deep in his eyes. Suddenly, his head exploded, blood and parts of his head flying everywhere, all over the screen, everywhere. His headless body fell over to the side, and a deep laughing echoed through the speakers of the computer.

A large man, shoved the body over and squatted down  to take the place that was once Bert's.

Lewis smiled into the camera, "Hiya Leo, I think ya get the picture. Hmm?" He picked up the bloody picture of Lisa from the floor and showed it to the camera, "I'll save this for later," he said, smirking. 

"Gideon, how is the video being played?" Rip called.

"My systems have been hacked, Captain. My apologies."

Lewis looked straight into the camera, "I know you're wondering, so I'm gonna tell you. My boy Bert here hacked your systems. It took a while, but he finally did it. All thanks to you son."

Leonard clenched his jaw, glaring at the screen in front of him.

"Before you jumped out of my van, my boy Bert had put a little something in your pocket.Oh don't worry, just a little hacking device of some sort. Just put it in the vicinity of what your hacking, and your in. Basically, after you do a bunch of technical stuff..."

Leonard stuck his hand in his pocket, anger rising in him as his fingers found a small device. He pulled it out, a small circular device, it looked like a button, except it blinked red on a little light.

"Oh, I don't know where you are, son. So just meet me at 221 Bartson Street, Starling City, tomorrow, December 2, 2010. Be there 11:30 pm. I'll be waiting."

Leonard looked down at the button sized device in his hand, without thinking twice, he smashed it to pieces. He dropped the crumbled pieces on the ground. 

"I found the apparition," Snart growled, breathing heavily, anger radiating off of him.

"I'll- I'll set the path," Rip said, standing in shock of what he just watched. 

"Strap yourselves in, get ready for travel," Rip said, heading over to his pilot chair.
