Absolute Zero

Chapter 19

Cisco finished the gun and Leonard brought me to the different room before tying my hands behind my back and to a chair.

"Not letting me go this time?" I asked.

"Patience. I'm almost done with your friend. I'll be back soon. Don't wait up." He said before leaving. The rope wasn't rough like most so when I froze it, it didn't break right away. I kept trying until I heard a bunch of noise from the room with Cisco and Dante in it. Finally the rope broke and I rushed out to see Cisco and Dante on the floor. Mick beating Cisco. I went to get Mick off of him as I heard people walk inside. Mick flung his arm, hitting me in the face and knocking me over.

"Mick Calm down!" Leonard said coming in. "Mick! We need them!" Leonard pointed his gun at him and Lisa pulled him up. 

"It sounds like you're hungry. How about you and I grab some dinner?" Then they left.

"I like you kid." Leonard said walking over to Cisco. "You're smart. You pulled yourself up from humble beginnings. You seem like a good brother." Cisco got up on his knees.

"You too."

"Debatable. You answer one question for me, I'll let you and your brother walk."

"What about Becca?"

"She'll be fine. Don't worry."

"What's the question?"

"The Flash and the blonde. Who are they?" He asked and my eyes shot to him before looking at Cisco. I wasn't going to let him hurt them over this.

"I swear... They always wear masks." The Leonard shot Dante's hands. "No!"

"This is first degree frostbite. Your brother could recover with proper treatment. If not all his tendons, blood vessels, and nerves will freeze. His fingers will need to be amputated. No more concertos for the Ramon family holidays. Now tell me, who are they?"

"I'll tell you!" I said to him and he looked at me. "Just let them go and I'll tell you. I promise."

"How do I know you won't lie to me to protect them?"

"I'll even prove it to you."

"Alright. Go on kid. Get him to the hospital." Leonard let Cisco and Dante go, leaving me with him. "Who are they Becca?"

"The girl? Absolute Zero? You're looking at her."

"You're the blonde that's with the Flash?"

"Yes." I grabbed the wall and ice started to form. "My brother is the Flash." 

"When I let you go, you stayed and fought us."

"I did."

"So that burn on your arm, was from Mick?"

"Yeah. You can't hurt me with that, sadly your friend can kill me." He was silent. "Not gonna call him? Have him finish what you started last time?"

"No. Go home." Then he started walking away. I shot ice close to his head.

"Fight me. It's what you wanted right? Do it!" He slowly turned around.

"Go. Home. Rebecca."

"Why won't you fight me?" I took a step closer.

"Becca leave now."

"No!" I went to punch him but he caught my arm, pulling me closer. "Why won't you fight me?"

He looked at me for a moment, not saying anything. Then suddenly he pulled me closer to him, kissing me. I was surprised and shocked for a moment. After that moment I realized how much I wanted this to happen deep down. I closed my eyes and kissed him back. After a while he pulled back.
