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...
"How are we supposed to drive half way across Central City without going undetected? You two drive motorcycles after all" Mardon questioned with doubts as he watched them pack up from afar.
Snart smirked to himself, not bothering to stop what he was doing since they were short on time.
"Leave that to me, you know what you have to do" He replied.
"Yeah, you leave me with the easiest part of the plan" Mardon said sarcastically "ever stop to think maybe fighting fire with fire instead of hiding would be easier?"
In the background Mick let out a small laugh as he listened, liking the idea but knowing Snart would never abandon his plans for something so spontaneous.
"We both know what happens when we make the first move, The Flash cuts us to the chase" Snart replied.
Mick rolled his eyes this time as he continued to listen, he was never too fond of Snarts plans when it involved them laying low.
"And now we have two Metas and two very powerful guns, you know dam well nothing can stop us, not even that speedster.."
"Except when one Meta is not fully in our hands yet" Snart muttered this time as they all knew what he meant.
"She will, give it time-"
"Or we drop the nice act and start showing who's boss!" Mick interrupted Mardon, receiving a glare as he did.
Snart groaned as the two bickered, he grew annoyed with Mick's short temper and lack of patience.
"Mardon you'll be taking the kid, seeing as Mick and I will have our bags and motorcycles- Don't go looking for trouble" He ordered.
Mardon gave him a slight nod, knowing fully well he wasn't good at listening to orders, and aparently neither was Mick.
"Get a move on, we'll meet up at the new location" Snart ordered once more to Mardon "and don't get caught-"
"Funny, I was just going to say the same to you.."
~~~
After the conversation with Snart and Mick, Mardon walked to the next room over where they had Audrey staying in.
Mick had the idea to keep the Metahuman cuffs to use on her despite what everyone else thought.
Mardon walked in, glancing at Audrey as she sat against the wall in the corner, fidgeting with the cuffs. She sure was quiet.
"Trying to be sneaky?" He asked, grabbing her attention as she shook her head "no-"
He walked over to her, kneeling down to her level while glancing at the cuffs "how about I take those off once we get to the new location?"
Audrey returned his glance, unsure of how trustworthy he could be. What if it was a trap?
"Where are we going?"
Mardon didnt bother giving her a real answer, the less she knew the better.
"It's not safe here, we're going somewhere else" He replied but Audrey could see through his words "you mean The Flash is onto you-"
He paused, not expecting Audrey to be so forward at saying what he wouldn't admit.
"We have our reasons, now let's go" Mardon replied as he grabbed her arm, pulling her onto her feet in a cautious way "if you're good, maybe the cuffs will come off."
"How do I know you're telling the truth?" She asked him, knowing fully well none of them could really be trusted.
He didn't have an answer for her, none she'd really accept or listen to.
"How about you listen anyways qnd make things easier for the both of us-" He replied while nudging her towards the door.
Audrey groaned quietly but followed as he walked her out of the building. She was hesitant to leave before Barry had a chance to track him down but her chances were fading by the minute.
The walk to the car was quick, she noticed quickly that the parking lot was vacant as well as the time of day. It had to be late, probably around eight or nine at night. The city was dark.
Snart and Mick must've already left, their motorcycles were nowhere to be seen.
"Get in" Mardon muttered as he opened the passenger side door to Audrey.
At first she hesitated to move, now would be the perfect time to make a break for it, but going against another Meta while cuffed was risky.
Audrey looked at the door for a split second before turning her attention to Mardon. With a swift movement, she turned and pushed him into the side of the car before making a run for it.
Though she didn't get far.
Mardon groaned as he got pushed down but regained his balance quickly.

Instead of running after her, he raised his hand, using his abilities to create a gust of wind strong enough to knock her down.
"You should know better" He said aloud as he walked over, taking his time.
Audrey groaned as she hit the floor on impact but, quickly backed away at th sight of Mardon walking towards her.
She tried to use her powers but the cuffs continued to interfere. But trying whatever she could, Audrey attempted to swing at Mardon, using her cuffs as a weapon but it proved to be ineffective.
He caught her arm almost instantly, stopping her from budging at all. The look on Mardon's face was hard to read, she couldn't tell if he was mad or amused.
"You think Snart would be happy if he knew you tried to escape?" He asked with a smirk "or Mick?"
Audrey held her breath in hesitation, imagining how they'd react, or what they'd do.
"No-" she muttered.
"Then I suggest you don't try any more stunts like that again" Mardon replied, this time in a more treating tone.
Audrey remained quiet as Mardon led her back to the car, now gripping her arm tighter than before. She was back to being on thin ice again, any attempt she's made to escape so far has only backfired.
"Get in" Mardon ordered once more as he watched her enter the car this time without any fuss.
