Episode 5 The Flash Fanfic

Chapter 4

Leonard Snart and Mick Rory sat in a dingey bar being served drinks. They were buying time before their master plan was to take place. Leonard checked his phone. It wouldn't be long now, then they could reap their rewards of Central City and get the hell out of dodge.

"Is that the message we have been waiting for?" Mick asked gruffly, flicking the switch to his lighter, than letting the flame disappear again.
"It sure is." Leonard replied, "Lisa will meet us a little after 7:00 tonight. We just need to be a little more patient. Sutherland Labs is not going to know what hit them."

"Remind me again, why are we hitting up some research facility. They have nothing of value." Mick responded.

"I've told you before. They may not have treasures and jewels, but they have so much more that will prove to be of value to us." Leonard swallowed a mouthful of scotch before continuing. "They have the means to grant us with weapons and of course the Sutherland heiress duped us last time, distracting us until we were apprehended. Why? Because she is hiding something which, she knew we were close to revealing. I believe that she knows the identity to Central City's hero in the red suit."

"... so you want revenge?" Mick questioned his friend.
"No... I want leverage. And this is how we are going to get it." Leonard replied, continuing in a low whisper as to not be overheard.

The clock finally hit half past five and Cisco anxiously waited for Jane to meet him at a table in a local café. She arrived with her long wavy hair, hanging loosely down her back. She smiled, as she reached him and placed her purse on the table.
"I know Miss Sutherland is your friend and all, but she is seriously... a bitch of a boss." Jane told him.

Cisco avoided the statement. "Do you remember that conversation we were having earlier?" Cisco asked her nervously.

Jane knew the one. She had told him a few things about her past. She had experienced a rough childhood. She had told him that her father had been a cop, he had shown her how to use a weapon and he had been murdered in front of her. Since that day she had been on the run, always living in fear. She had told him how she wished that she had something to make her feel safer.

"Yes, I remember the one." She told him, a frown fell across her face.
"I made something for you." He told her, "But I can't give it to you here. Let's go for a walk."
The two of them took their leave, arm in arm and strolled down to the park. There was a brisk chill in the air.

They came to a picnic table and some chairs, so the two of them sat down and Cisco pulled a shoe-sized golden gift box, tied with a silver lace ribbon, from the backpack that he had been carrying on his back.
A look of surprise, mixed with shock swam over Jane's face. "Cisco, you really didn't need to get me a gift."

"It was nothing, really." He replied, "Just don't tell Astrid, or she will kill me. I promised her I wouldn't make any more of these." Jane opened the gift and was marveled by the golden handheld firearm inside, lined with tissue paper. "Oh! Cisco!" she gasped. She really didn't know what to say. She put the lid back on quickly and nervously kissed him, making him blush.

Jane looked at her watch, "we really need to get ready or we will be late for our dinner date tonight." She told him quickly.

Barry made it back to the CCPD, and found a very nervous Eddie Thawn, sitting at his desk throwing a stress ball up in the air and catching it. Barry was tempted to avoid him, but decided against it. "Er... hi Eddie." He said nervously.

Eddie was about to catch the ball again, but was thrown off guard by Barry, and it fell to the floor rolling across the ground. "Um... Hi Barry... Er... I'm sorry, Joe isn't here."

"I was looking for you, actually." Barry replied. "I figured you and I are brothers... twins? You know..." Barry was feebly trying to think of something to say to break the ice. He was very nervous and it was clear that Eddie was feeling the same way.

Barry took a seat across from Eddie and the two experienced an awkward pause between them.
"So... you probably have questions..." Barry suggested.
"I wish I did." Eddie replied. "I knew the story about your par... Correction! Our parents... before all of this... and I have just spent the day going over all of Joe's research. So I don't have any questions..."

There was another awkward pause. This time a little longer.
"So..." Barry began, "I don't actually know anything about you aside from the fact that you are Joe's partner, and dating Ir..." 

Before he could continue, Eddie shut him off. "Barry... We may be brothers by blood, but what is clear to me, is that, that is the only thing that makes us family. I do not see any reason that we should start mending bridges now... Excuse me!" Eddie stood up and left Barry sitting alone at the desk, speechless.

It was nearing 7pm, when Cisco and Jane were sitting at a secluded table in a dimly lit restaurant, accompanied by various patrons at other tables.

Jane glanced at her phone nervously. Cisco studied her intently. He had switched his own phone off so the two of them could enjoy a dinner without being interrupted by Barry, Astrid or Caitlin. "Are you okay?" he asked her, "you have been acting nervous all night. Ever since I gave you..."

Jane looked back at him and cut his sentence off. "Cisco, maybe we should go. We need to leave quickly though."

"What are you talking about?" Cisco asked her, baffled. But his question was answered at the arrival of the restaurant's newest arrivals. "My dear sister!" Leonard Snart's voice broke out over the multiple voices lining the dining hall. Some looked over at him, thinking he was rude to speak so loudly.

Jane tried to hide away but it was too late. Leonard and Mick walked towards Cisco and Jane's table. "Lisa, when you told me that you had a surprise for me, I didn't realize that you were referring to the man who made my beautiful cold gun... Cisco Ramon, himself." Leonard said.

"Er, Jane? What is going on?" Cisco asked her. Jane bit her lip and did not respond.

Leonard and Mick chuckled softly. "Do you mean to say, you never even told him your real name? That is very harsh..." Leonard asked Jane. "Let me introduce you, Cisco Ramon, to my sister Lisa Snart. Aka Jane... What was the last name you were using this time?"

"Cisco, I'm sorry. But..." Lisa told him. Cisco's eyes grew wide. He tried to subtly pull his phone out of his pocket to switch it on, but Mick took it from him, quickly.

Cisco stared at her coldly. "Was any of it true? Your father, a cop? Being murdered? any of it?"
Lisa Snart smiled unapologetically.

Leonard chuckled. "She got you good. None of it is true! but I would hate to break your wiltered lover charade, Mr Ramon... Dear sister. We brought you a present. It's waiting for you outside. I pinched it from some biker who was more than happy to part with it. Let's use it to go..." Leonard said with a sneer.

Mick restrained Cisco with his left arm and held out a gun with the other. "Let's blow this place to hell and get out of here." He said to Leonard.

As the criminals left with Cisco in tow they shot their weapons behind them. Only Leonard's weapon shot an ice wall. Mick Rory's set the walls aflame and Lisa Snart pulled out her new gift that Cisco had made for her. It shot a trail of pure gold.

"Wow! I'm in awe of you pistol, sis." Leonard told his sister as they made their way out to a delivery truck standing beside a motor bike. Mick dragged Cisco into the back of the delivery truck. Leonard gestured to his sister that the motor bike was her gift, and then climbed into the driver seat of the truck.

Lisa marveled at her ride, climbed on and then followed the truck. They made their way, disappearing into the traffic of the night.
