Leonard Snart imagines

Dumb Luck

"We need the key." Ray explained over the coms.

"Which is where exactly?" Martin asked nervously. He and Jaxs had stayed behind on the ship with Rip while the rest of the team moved on. It had been a simple in and out job. You'd be look out, Sara would kick ass and Ray would help Snart and Rory steal the item Rip needed.

"Urm. It's in that biker dudes jacket." Ray muttered. Leonard and Mick both looked at the man in tandem while Sara sighed.

"Well that's just made things easier."

"Oh! I've got this. Just picking a pocket." Before Sara could stop you, you'd rushed off. Leonard and Mick looked at each other back at you. Bumping into the man you laughed and apologised, starting to walk away, you thought you'd gotten away with it. Until he grabbed at you arm and yanked the hand that was clutching the key in it.

With a nervous laugh you kicked him and yanked your arm free. Which resulted in a huge brawl breaks out. "Nice distraction kid!" Snart said as he took the key from you. He and Mick headed to the back room. You fought your way towards the door where Ray was ducking and dodging punches.

"So much for being inconspicuous." Sara grunted. You paused as you saw her flipping a man twice her size over her arm and slam him on the floor.

"Woah!"

"Watch out (Y/N)!" Ray yelled. Turning you spotted the man you'd stolen the key from charging at you.

You froze in panic, until Mick slammed his fist into the guys face. He planted the box Rip had been after in your hands and you clutched onto it. "Come on kid, we got it, let's get out of here." Looking over at Sara you saw Snart nearby fighting off another man. "Haircut, get us a way out of here!"

Ray managed to help Mick get you towards the door. The three of you burst out of the bar, shortly followed by Snart and Sara. One man started running and you and before anyone else could react you shoved the box up to defend your face, accidently winding the guy as you slammed it into his chest when he collided with you. He let out a wheeze as he collapsed on the floor.

"Nicely done." Sara congratulated you as she pried the box from your hands. Ray gave you a friendly pat on the shoulder as you headed back to the ship. "We'll have to give you a few fighting tips, you'll be good." She offered.

*******************

"Ok we have a problem." Sara declared as she walked over to Snart and Jax. Jax had been looking over one of the screens, trying to understand the ship better. When Sara stopped next to them the only inclination Snart gave that he acknowledged her was a slight tilt of his head.

"Rip wanted Snart to break into a building to retrieve a dangerous artifact. (Y/N) got the message instead and... has gone to get it. We need to go and help her." Sara explained quickly.

"I can't, I need to fix the ship and Gray is with Rip and Ray." Jax said nervously.

"Can you run recon with us?"

"Yeah of course, I'll see what Gideon has on the building."

"Snart. By some miracle (Y/N) hasn't triggered the alarms but still managed to get in. She's not sure how to disarm the security case..."

"I'm in." Snart said as he span in his chair. He'd decided to help as soon as Sara explained but you had some snacks for accidentally succeeding and he wanted to know how you did it. It happened to often to be a fluke.

"Alright. We'll have to get in there, get the artifact and (Y/N) then get out." Sara explained and Snart nodded.

"Let's go before our little friend gets herself arrested at the wrong time, I like the kid but not enough to break her out of jail."

"Nice to know where you stand." Jax said sarcastically.

"You have to have your limits." Snart retorted as he and Sara left.

****************

"(Y/N)?"

"Snart?"

"What're you doing here?" You asked, confused as to how you hadn't noticed Snart appearing in the building.

"Well we're here to help you. Sara took out the guards."

He strolled over to you and looked at what you were doing. With a tut he put the panel back on the wires you were trying to figure out. "That's a decoy. This." He paused as he immediately found another panel. "Is the real thing."

He crouched down, setting some tools he fished out of his jacket pocket on the floor, and started fiddling with the wires, pausing when you crouched down to look over his shoulder, getting closer so you could see. When he glared at you, you backed up a little. But only until he stopped looking at you.

"How'd you know it was that one?" You asked and he sighed.

"Because I do."

"How do you know undoing that will do anything." You asked. He paused and let out a long sigh before slowly looking back at you. "Because you do."

He was quiet for a moment before moving so you could see what he was doing better. "This model is supposed to have a decoy system. The part you were going over, would have set off an alarm. This will disengaged the cover on the top and we should be able to take the item."

You watched his for a moment before taking one of the tools and tried to copy what he'd done. "Is this really the time to teach her how to steal?" Sara asked as she joined the two of you.

"No better time to learn than on the job. You go wrong you get caught. Besides I'm here when it goes wrong so you don't need to..." Snart stopped talking and looked shocked. Sara's eyebrows raised as she smirked with amusement. As he'd been speaking you managed to open the top of the second storage box and grabbed the item in it. "Worry if things go wrong."

"Should I do that one? I did it faster than you." You asked Snart who immediately recovered and returned to fiddling with his storage box.

"There's another one back there, maybe that will be just as easy?" Sara asked as she gestured towards a second box.

"Kid has a steep learning curve. Unnerving."

"Yeah, well we need to hurry up because there will be a second team of guards in three minutes and we need that artifact. Also we'll have to explain to Rip why we've taught (Y/N) how to become a thief." Sara pointed out. The case opened and Snart snatched at the item, pocketing it along with his tools.

"It's a life skill." He offered as an excuse, Sara laughed and nodded. They both shared a proud look when you jogged back with armfuls of ancient artifacts and held out the tool for Snart to take. "Keep it kid, Looks like you found your calling."

"Rip said all of these were missing from those time people's vaults so I figured we could take them back to him and it'd make up for the bar fight?" You asked Sara who took some of the items from you. They followed you out of the building, narrowly missing the Guards who set off the alarm as the three off you found Mick waiting in a van outside.

"At least your lack of morals hasn't rubbed off on her." Sara quipped as you decided to sit up front with Mick.

"Here! There was a crystal lighter laying around on a desk, I thought you'd like it. You didn't get to come in and help." You said to Mick who accepted the large lighter. He looked at it with an uncomfortable expression before grunting gratefully. You grinned and glanced at Sara, giving her a thumbs up before clipping yourself in.

"We'll make a delinquent out of her yet." Snart said sarcastically as he smiled at her. She shook her head and smiled as Mick drove back to the Wave Rider.
