"Dammit Barry!" You muttered and jammed your phone into your back pocket.

Barry, while he was your best friend, was the dumbest kid on the planet. He had decided to book it to the Central City Museum to stop someone trying to steal the Khandaq Diamond.

"What's going on?" Cisco asked as you grabbed your helmet off a nearby chair.

"The dumbass headed to the museum." You sighed. "Someone tried to steal the Khandaq Diamond and now they're at the train station. The guy froze the wheels on the train."

"Oh, it's Captain Cold!" Cisco replied a little too excitedly. When you gave him a quizzical look he shrugged and replied with, "What? I like the name."

You rolled your eyes and jogged out to your motorcycle. You climbed on, revved the engine, and sped down the streets to the train station.

Your helmet beeped and you had just pulled up to a red light so you hit the button Cisco put in, and his voice cane through.

"Y/N, I was right. It is Captain Cold." He said and you hit the throttle when the light changed.

"And you're telling me this why?" You answered and turned the corner.

"Uh, so you know what you're up against?" He said and you shook your head slightly. "Stay hot."

"I always am." You said with a smirk. "This top looks amazing on me so I think I have hotness taken care of."

"You know what I meant." He laughed.

You skidded to a stop at the front of the station and kicked out your kickstand before getting off.

"Gotta go, Cisco." You said quickly and hit the button again. You pulled off the helmet and shook out your hair before sticking it on your handlebar and swinging your leg over.

You let out a deep breath and pushed through the front door. The station was pretty empty, so you hurried through.

You heard a couple screams from down the hall so you ran as fast as you could. You weren't Barry Allen fast, but you got there at a good speed.

People began to push past you, toward the exit, and you pushed them out of your way to find Barry.

He was midstride, in a block of ice. As you stepped closer, the heat of the room was sucked up by the glacier in the center. You sighed and stood in front of the ice.

"This is why I can't leave you alone." You commented and rubbed your hands together. As they became warmer, you focused everything into your palms. Your hands began to glow red and small flames lit up your fingertips.

You pressed them into the ice, releasing steam and hissing into the room. The steam rose against your face and water puddled at your feet.

"Damn it." You sighed. "These are new shoes."

The ice was just under his chin and you heard him laugh.

"I have never been more happy to see you, Y/N." He smiled.

"Yeah, well. You're lucky your my best friend or else I would've left you to pull a Captain America and let you thaw in a hundred years." You teased and hear a clatter behind you.

You pulled your hands back and spun quickly. You scanned the area and caught the glimpse of a figure running down the tracks.

"Be right back." You told Barry and sparked a fire at his feet from loose flyers. He protested but you were already following the figure.

You shot a lighting bolt from your palm and it caught the figure in his heel and he dropped. You hurried closer and he flipped himself over and shot a blast of ice at you.

You gasped and threw your arms up to block your face and it froze them across your face. You heated your arms and the ice turned to water and dripped down your sleeves.

"Seriously?" You groaned and flicked the extra water off your arms.

You created a flame in your palm and created a boundary of flames around the mystery man. You stepped closer until you were at the edge of it and saw he was shooting his cold gun at the flames. You knelt and placed a hand at the base of the flames, making the burn higher and hotter.

"Stop messing with my flames." You ordered and parted the blaze enough to step through. "I worked hard on those."

"Well, good for you." He answered.

"You're the big bad Captain Cold, huh?" You said casually, even though you were pretty anxious.

You hadn't told anyone, but you may have had a bit of a crush on Captain Cold. You knew it was quite the cliché, but you couldn't help it.

"And you are?" He replied.

"Y/N." You said and he quickly aimed the gun at you again. "I literally just made flames bigger than me. You think a tiny gun is gonna do anything?" You teased.

He sighed and lowered it. "What are you?" He replied, examining the flames instead of you.

"Don't know." You answered. "My team calls me an elemental, but I don't really have a hero name."

"Like your buddy the Flash?" He said, turning to look at you.

Woah, he's kind of gorgeous up close. You thought quickly and shook the thoughts away. "Uh the Flash. Yeah." You stammered. "Right, yeah. No, I dont- don't have a name like that."

He cracked the slightest smile and so did you. You ran a hand down your face and cleared your throat.

"So uh, this is the part where you give back the diamond." You said, pointing at the small bag their to his belt.

"Oh, this?" He replied and shook his head. "I stole this fair and square."

"Stealing it doesn't make it yours." You protested.

"Y/N!" Barry yelled and as you turned, he skidded to a halt in front of your flames.

"Took you long enough." You sighed and dropped their flaming boundary. You collided with him and held him tightly. "God, you're freezing!"

"Oh I wonder why." He mocked and shivered in your arms.

"Here." You said pulling away and placing your warm hands in his.

You looked over your shoulder and saw Captain Cold was gone. You pouted slightly but hid it once you faced Barry again.

You both walked to your motorcycle and you offered to drive him back to S.T.A.R. Labs but he said he was fine to walk. You shrugged and decided you'd push your bike along side him.

Your heart was finally settling from your encounter with Captain Cold, and you were slightly exciting to see him again.

//AN. Sorry this took so long! Exams were killer.//
