Captain Canary: (Book 4)

Chapter 11: Confrontation

Leonard stood in shock for a moment.  Caught off guard of seeing his partner's doppleganger.  What threw him off more, was the fact that Mick somehow figured him out.  He should've known he would.  It looked like on all earths.  It was still the same.  Mick could always figure him out.  Just as Leo could always know what Mick was upto.  It's why they were partners.  They clicked well together.  Though sometimes, Leo realized, it could be rather annoying.  With luck, Leonard could talk his way out of it.   

He could've played it off as cool.  And continue to pretend that he was actually this earth's Leo.  But with his guys surrounded by him.  Mick wouldn't fall for that.  Plus, Mick was a lot smarter than he looked.  When he wanted to be.  Mick wouldn't let the situation go so easily.  Unfortunately, Leonard had made a minor mistake.  He hadn't expected for Mick to drop by for a visit. 

So for now, Leonard had another idea in mind.  To have fun with Mick.  "What do you think I want with her?"  He asked.  A twisted grin formed on his face.  Mick scowled at the question.  Stepping up closer to his partner's doppleganger.  Reaching for the man's shirt.  "Don't play games..  With me.."  He hissed in a warning tone.

Leo let out a cold laugh.  Mick could see the amusement in his eyes.  And he hated that he played right into Snart's hands.  Mick gripped the man's shirt tighter.  No matter how much Mick threatened though.  Leonard wouldn't give in.  He had thought about just telling Mick everything.  And then use the device he got to swipe his memories.  But that would be too boring for Leo.  He liked playing games.  And messing with people's minds.  Especially his partner.  Well..  Partner's doppleganger.  Because he knew how easy it was for other people to mess with him. So it would be very easy for him to do the same.

"I'm not going to ask again.."  Mick said, gritting his teeth.  Leo could feel the other man's hand grip tighter on his shirt, and lifting him up a couple inches into the air.  Leo held out his hands, pretending to wave them hysterically.  As if to say he surrendered.  "Alright alright!"  He hissed.  "Just put me down will you?  And I may just let you in on this little plan of mine."

Mick gave the doppleganger a strange look.  He didn't trust him.  He figured as soon as he set him down.  Leonard would try to pull some trick on him.  And Mick assumed once he set him down, he wasn't going to tell him the exact truth anyways.  But it was worth a try.  Mick hesitated a second more, before loosening his grip on the man.  Then setting him down on the ground.  Keeping a close eye on the other, in case he did something foolish. 

Leonard glared at Mick as he let him go.  A bit on the rough side.  He had to catch his balance so he wouldn't fall on his ass.  "Gently."  He grumbled.  Mick only rolled his eyes as a reaction.  "Yeah yeah..  Quit stalling Snart."  He muttered.  Leonard looked Mick straight in the eyes.  "You know what I really want with Sara?"  He asked.  The amused smirk from earlier formed back on his lips.  He then stepped up close to Mick.  Which had him feeling a bit leery.  Leonard lifted his one finger.  Turning it towards himself, before wiggling it three times towards his face.  Motioning for Mick to lean in closer so he could whisper it to him. 

As Mick leaned in, Leonard had to stand on his tip toe so he could whisper into Mick's ear.  Exactly what he had in mind.  The smirk stayed on the man's face as he saw the other's reaction.  His face turned a bit pale as he heard Leonard's words.  Then without warning, Leonard felt Mick grasp his shirt again, tightly.  "You son of a bitch."  He hissed.  "Over my dead body!  I will stop you.."  Mick continued to warn.  He didn't like anyone messing with Sara or the girls.  He especially didn't like anyone messing with his partner. 
This appeared to be enough to distract Mick.  Leonard swiftly pulled the device he had from his pocket.  Aiming it directly at Mick's eyes.  The twisted grin still on his lips.  "Yeah?  Such a shame you won't remember..  Old buddy."  He whispered.  His tone having a hint of sarcasm. 

Mick was about to swat his hand to try and get the device loose from Leo's.  But he wasn't quick enough.  Before Mick knew it.  He felt himself fall unto the ground, his world around him going black as he fell unconscious.
