As the Christmas season approaches in Central City, a whole new line of metas seemed to surface. Some leading to more trouble than others, leaving Barry with more questions than answers..
The jolly spirit isn't for everyone in this city as Barry and...
Fear flooded Audrey's mind as Mardon forced her to walk with him out of Star Labs, gripping her by the hair and arm "Don't even think about trying anything, I can strike down that building with a lightning storm anytime I want."
Audrey continued to struggle, hoping Barry would come in the nick of time but as they walked towards Mardon's car, he opened the car door shoving her in the passenger side.
"Go to hell!" She groaned.
Mardon smirked as he slammed the car door shut and got into the driver side "Always a fiesty one, huh?" He replied with a smirk "now how about we get out of here before your friends show up?" he asked but Audrey gave him a silent glare.
Mardon only smirked more as he started the car, driving out of the Star Labs parking lot before anyone could stop him.
"You know damn well you don't fit in with people like them" He muttered as he focused on driving. Audrey glanced at him, not knowing how to respond at first "you don't know anything about me.."
"Oh I think I know enough-"
"And what do you think you know?" Audrey asked.
He glanced at her for a second as he drove "You had a tough life before you became a Meta and now you have powers that does more harm than good" Mardon explained "Now tell me, did I get it wrong?"
Audrey glanced at him deciding not to respond but her silence said it all for Mardon "See" he replied.
"Alright, better question. How did you meet The Flash?"
"I don't have to tell you anything" She remarked but Mardon didn't back down "you will if you want me to keep your friends alive" he replied.
Her glance turned to a glare before looking away as she thought of her first encounter with Barry.
"He caught me breaking into a bank" She explained after a minute of silence, earning a chuckle from him "what's so funny?" she asked.
He shrugged "looks like we're not as different as you think."
"I'm not a killer" Audrey argued but Mardon just chuckled more "and the flash isn't? Or those people he hangs with?" He paused as he drove into a darkened alley way before parking.
"That cop that always saves his ass, Detective Joe West, he killed my brother" Mardon explained "we're here, get out."
Audrey looked at him and the expression on his face as he spoke, the emotion in his eyes as he spoke, she could see the damage it caused him.
"Get out of the car" He repeated as he got out himself and walked over to her side. Audrey watched his movements as she opened the car door and stepped out.
"Don't try anything funny" He remarked as he grabbed her arm.
"Don't tempt me" She snapped in reply.
Mardon rolled his eyes at her remark at first "let's go" he spoke, leading her inside what looked like a rundown warehouse in the bad side of town.
"Where are we?" She asked but he ignored her question.
Audrey looked around, confused as to why he brought her here. Was this place really his hide out?
"Why did you bring me here?" She asked again as Mardon led her inside.
"You ask alot of questions, don't you?"
"Only when I'm being forced to go places against my will" Audrey remarked in reply.
Mardon continued to walk as he forced her to follow by his side "like I said, you're my leverage" he replied vaiguely.
"Leverage?"
As Audrey spoke, two men walked into the room, holding large guns in their hands. One wore a winter coat with fur on the hood, while the other wore a similar jacket.

"Well, it's about time you showed up" The man with the winter coat said to Mardon as he walked in "This is the leverage you guarenteed me?"
Mardon looked at the man "I got a little held up but this was the best I could do" he expained while pointing to Audrey.
The man turned to Audrey, almost studying her for a minute "you've brought a kid-"
"I'm not a kid" Audrey snapped but Mardon tightened his grip on her arm to silence her.
"The Flash will come for her, that's all that matters" Mardon replied.
The other man also turned his attention to Audrey "if she's close to Flash then she must know something, I say let's burn through that shell and find out what she knows-"
"Now Mick, no one's hurting the girl yet, got it?"
"Fine" The man grumbled in reply as he lowered the gun in his hand "You always take the fun out of everything."
"It's called logic, hurt the thing Flash cares about and that won't do any good for us" The other man explained.
Mardon crossed his arms "Always got a plan up your sleeve, Snart-" "Always" the man smirked.
He turned to Audrey once again, taking off his hood this time "Where are my manners, my name is Leonard Snart perhaps you've heard of me before.."
Audrey instantly recognized the name, remembering the news reports on him and all the talk on the police scanners.
"You're the one always robbing banks and museums" She said earning a smirk from Snart "So you have heard of me, great. Then you know what we're all capable of" he replied "now your turn."
At first she didn't answer, not wanting to say another word to those people but Mardon stood by, ready to give her another warning whenever he felt necessary.
"Audrey" She spoke up but Snart wasn't satisfied with her answer "Go on.."
"Audrey Leigh" She snapped "don't bother looking me up, you won't find anything on me."
"And why's that?" Snart asked with a curious look.
She glared at them as they all waited for her to talk, the more they knew about her the more leverage they'd have.
Mardon could sense she wasn't budging, giving both Mick and Snart a look that they'd both understand.
"Fine, just don't go excessive, we need her in one piece for The Flash" Snart said before he gave Mick a nod.
Mick smirked as he walked over to Audrey, raising his heat gun in one hand while Mardon held her arm out by force "ready whenever you are, Mick" Mardon smirked.
Mick smirked more as he powered on his heat gun, aiming it at Audrey's arm, inches away from her skin "fire reveals who we really are, I wonder what your fresh will reveal when I burn that sweet skin off-"
He paused as the heat gun began to warm up as he brought the gun closer towards her skin "you want me to show you who really are?" Mick asked.
