I walked out of Iron Heights with a smile on my face for the first time. Joe gave me a strange look, but he didn't ask. Maybe he thought I was happy to see Captain Cold behind bars, which I was. That wasn't the reason why a small smile had crossed my face though. I smiled because I had spied through a crack and discovered something wonderful.

I've always had a feeling that somewhere, maybe very deep down, Leonard Snart was a good guy. Today proved that fact. He denied it of course, but only someone with good inside of them would act the way he did tonight. That wasn't to say that Leonard hadn't done some very bad things. He had. Yet I could see more in him.

He had kept his word and never revealed my identity to anyone, not even his own sister. At Fenris Air he had betrayed me, but he had also saved my life. He controlled his Rogues. They no longer killed people. Doing these kinds of things had to be dangerous. If people thought that Captain Cold was going soft, he could become a target.

I'm under no illusions. I know that Leonard Snart won't ever stop being a thief. It's who he is, but today I saw more of him. I know that he has good in him. All he needs is a little nudge.

My smile grew and I let out a merry little whistle before running off. As I zipped around the city I thought about all of the times when Leonard had hesitated when fighting me. All the times he had spared the people around him. I couldn't help but see the good. Joe might not believe that leopards can change their spots, but I have hope. Someday, Leonard Snart will become the hero that I see inside of him. A hero with sticky fingers and his own agenda, but a hero nonetheless.
