"What is it Cisco?" Caitlin asked as we joined him and Lisa in the main part of the cortex
Lisa was sitting on a stool and Cisco had a light shining on her and had her vitals up on one of the large monitors.
"Oh boy" Cisco said
"What's wrong?" I asked, crossing my arms over my chest.
I did not like the way Cisco said 'oh boy'. Lisa was like a little sister to me and I promised Lenny that I would help him protect her, no matter the cost.
"Lisa has traces of thermite on her skin" Caitlin said
"Thermite? Like an explosive?" Lisa asked
"Not like an explosive..." Caitlin started
My eyes started to widen as I followed where they were going with this.
"It's a bomb" Cisco said
"Get it out then" I said/ demanded
"When you were knocked out, your dad must've injected you with it. Raven, we need to check you for one too" Cisco explained
I nodded my head and let Cisco check for a bomb in me.
"Raven has one too" Cisco said.
"So Lewis is using us as leverage to get Lenny to work with him" I said
"This is a new low for my father" Lisa said
I bit my lip, thinking.
"You can get the bombs out of us, right Cisco?" I asked, more worried for Lisa's safety than my own.
Before he could respond, Barry came back, in the Flash suit. Barry had looked confused.
"What's going on?" Barry asked
"When Lewis kidnapped Lenny, he injected Lisa and I with bombs in our necks" I explained
"We'll find a way to removed them" Barry had reassured me and Lisa
"Lisa first" I said, with a determined look on my face. I wanted to know that Lisa would be safe before anyone tried to remove the bomb in my neck, I won't save my life at the risk of hers.
I sat down on one of the chair as Barry, Caitlin and Cisco started working on the type of bomb was in our necks, so they cold have a better understanding on how to remove it. Barry was holding a magnet, talking about the bomb casing when Cisco came back into the cortex.
"Put the magnet down!" Cisco exclaimed
Barry moved the giant magnet away from Lisa's neck and raised his hands in defense.
"These bombs are highly concentrated, they could blow with any magnetic friction and an oxidant" Cisco explained
"So you can't remove the bomb? Try explaining that to airport security" I muttered
"What are you talking about?" Lisa asked
"If the bomb comes into contact with air, it will explode" Barry explained
"But don't worry, we will find another way to extract the bomb" Cisco said, trying to reassure us, but it didn't seem to work with Lisa. I got up from my chair and walked over to her. She had a scared look on her face, as if she didn't believe that Cisco will find another way to remove the bombs. I wrapped my arms around Lisa, trying to comfort her.
"It's okay, they'll save us. It's what heroes do" I said, trying to lift Lisa's spirits.
I saw out of the corner of my eye that she had cracked a small smile. I had looked over at the three heroes conversing and tried to listen in on their conversation, without casting a spell. All I could get out of it was that Barry was going to try to be a criminal. This won't end well...

Awhile after Barry had left, Cisco had come into the cortex with some kind of gun thing in hand and had walked to Lisa with it.
"What are you going to do to me with that thing?" Lisa asked
"Operating pressure on this is over a thousand PSI, it should be able to remove the bomb from your neck and into the barrel of this, with one high powered shot. There is one problem though" Cisco explained
"Other than shooting that right at her neck?" I asked, protectively
"The gun uses compressed air" Cisco warned
Lisa rested her hand on Cisco's arm, a way of telling him the she trusted him enough to try. Cisco had glanced at me, almost as if he was asking for my permission. I nodded my head and Cisco turned back to Lisa.
"Ready?" Cisco asks Lisa
"Shoot me Cisco" Lisa said
Cisco raised the gun to Lisa's neck and right before he can shoot, Barry comes in on the comms.
"You need to get the bombs out right now, the heist is going down right now" Barry said
"Got it!" I responded
I looked at Cisco and said reassuringly "you got this".
Cisco nodded his head and lifted the gun back to Lisa's neck and fired the gun. The bomb get out and was secured. Cisco nodded his head and Lisa and I switched places. I felt a small flash of pain as the bomb was sucked out of my neck, but I used my magic to quickly get rid of the pain.
"The bombs are out Flash!" Cisco yelled into our end of the comms.
A few minutes later, Barry arrived in the cortex.
"Where's Lenny?" I asked
"I'm sorry, I couldn't stop him from getting arrested" Barry said
I could feel anger rising inside me. Barry could've helped Snart escape, but chose not to.
"I think it's time for me to go. I'll see you around Team Flash" I said as I walked out of the cortex and STAR Labs.

"I didn't expect to see you here, Angela" Lenny said as he sat down in the visitors room at Iron Heights.
I knew when Lenny was sent to prison, I wouldn't be able to visit him as myself, so I used a spell to disguise myself. It wasn't the first time I had used this spell, so Lenny was able to recognize me and the name... well Lenny came up with it the first time I used this spell.
"I thought you knew me better than that" I giggled
"What are you doing here?" Lenny asked
"Wanted t let you know that I'm working on breaking you out" I whispered
Lenny smirked
"And I missed you" I added
"I missed you too my love" Lenny responded "I'll be out in a blink of an eye"
"You better be. Don't get too comfortable here" I said
"When I could be home with you? Never" Lenny said
"Times up Snart" the guard said
"I'll get you out soon" I promised
"Then I'll see you soon lovely" Lenny said as the guard dragged him away
