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...
"About time you found this place" Mick groaned as he glanced at them walking in.
Snart turned his attention to them as well, not expecting them to be so late as they were.
"Your timing suggests you ran into some complications" Snart suggested.
Mardon glanced at Audrey before replying, they both knew why they were late but Mardon seemed to remain strangely calm.
"That pile of scraps you call a car stalled for a while-"
"Shame, you almost had me thinking you ran into some real trouble" Snart replied. He seemed to buy whatever lie Mardon fed him but, why?
"Well now that you're here, let's get back on schedule" Snart spoke as Mardon walked over "And what's the next part of your grand plan, Cold?"
Snart glanced at Audrey then to Mardon, he knew confessing his plans now would tip her off and risk sabotaging it.
Her loyality was still a risk to them. That was a problem Snart had to fix quick.
"We'll get to that soon" Snart replied "But until then, let's start tying up some loose ends."
Mardon and Mick knew exactly what Snart was talking about as they all glanced at Audrey. She quickly grew suspicious.
"What?" She asked hesitantly but Snart smirked "Nothing to worry about- We just want to talk.."
Audrey hesitated more as Snart walked over towards her, she knew they were up to something.
"Kid listen, if you do something for us and we'll do something for you- Maybe even take off those pesky cuffs" Snart offered.
She backed away a bit from him and the others "You just want my help to trap The Flash-"
"Smart girl" Snart smirked in reply "You know you're in no position to make compromises, and we've been very patient with you."
"Me, not so much" Mick groaned. He watched in the background as always.
"There's plently of people like you and Mardon that have the bad side of those Meta genes, I'm sure you'll make new friends" He smirked more.
She knew his intentions but a part of Audrey wanted to hear him out.
"Then why not just pick one of the other Metas?"
"Because I know potential when I see it" Snart replied "As much as it pains Mick to hear, you would make as a good addition to our rogues."
Audrey looked away, she couldn't seem to wrap her head around the idea of even thinking of his offer. But a part of her wondered the possibilities if she did.

"So what if I did- What's in it for me?"
Snart and Mardon seemed to share a similar smirk as Snart continued to handle things.
"Well first, those cuffs will come off" Snart replied "And second, you just help bait The Flash, then we can help with those powers of yours."
This time even Mick interrupted, saying the same thing he once said when they first met her.
"We can show you who you really are-"
Surprisingly enough, Snarts words seemed to be getting through to her slowly. Audrey wanted nothing more than to control her powers after so much time of struggling. But she still hesitated.
Was it really worth betraying Barry and his friends over?
"The choice is yours- you can either agree and benifit from this, or we do this our way" Snart added.
She knew Snart and the others wouldn't hesitate to get what they wanted.
"What happens after you catch The Flash? What are you going to do to him?"
Snart narrowed his eyes a bit, he knew if he didn't answer carefully he could lose his chance of her cooperation.
"We're not going to kill him if that's what you're wondering-" Snart replied, hearing a groan from Mick in the background.
"Trust me kid, I got this all figured out.."
Snart stepped closer, he was convincing but, was it enough?
"Don't you want a family? Don't you miss yours?"
Audrey turned her attention to Snart once more as he walked towards her.
"How long has it been since you even had a place to call home?" He asked but Audrey hesitated to answer.
It felt like so long since she actually did.
"A while-"
"And what would you do to have a home again- A family again?"
Snart watched Audrey's movements carefully, her expression trailed off as she thought back to the last time she could recall living a normal life.
She had no clue where her parents even were, after so long of living off the grid, they probably thought she was dead.
"I don't know-" Audrey hesitated to reply but Snart didn't stop there.
"Think about it.. Stay and you'll get what you've always wanted-"
Audrey remained quiet as she glanced around the room at the others. Both Mardon and Mick watched from a far, even Mick wasn't protesting Snarts proposition.
"C'mon, don't you want revenge?"
Audrey's facial expression turned to a confused one. What did he mean by revenge?
"What are you talking about?"
Snart hid a smirk from breaking his serious expression, never breaking eye contact.
"He didn't tell you? He and his friends are the reason why most of the people in this city became Metahumans- Like you and Mardon."
Audrey's attention quickly turned to Snart. Was what he was saying really true?
Was Barry and his friends to blame?
"You're lying-"
Snart smirked "Don't believe me? See for yourself.."
