Couples: Coldwave, maybe Kendra & Ray.
rating: T with maybe the occasional M rated chapter.
Mick Rory. Too most people, he's an heartless, emotionless bastard who only cares for himself and a select few... Which is why everyone got confused why he wanted a team meeting, without Leonard Snart... The reason behind it, Mick wanted to sacrifice himself as the person to set the Oculus for self destruct, which would ultimately lead to his death, in place of Ray Palmer.
"Why?" Kendra's voice asked breaking the silence which had fallen across the team. "You made it perfectly clear that you didn't care for any of us so why sacrifice yourself for Ray?" She continued causing Mick to sigh.
"You guys don't trust me, you barely even want to be around me unless you have too. I don't blame you after what I did..." Mick started, "and now after what just happened, how I was supposed to be conditioned to be chronos, I'd understand if you're scared of me or whatever. It's only right I do this you lot care for Ray more then you do for some meat head thug." He then finished, shrugging his shoulders.
"Oh careful there, Mr Rory, I think your emotions are showing." Sarah commented causing a couple of others to snicker a little and the man to glare at her.
"We might not care for you a lot..." Stein started.
"Well nice to make a man feel loved." Mick interrupted.
"Let me finish, but there's one man on this ship, who coincidently isn't here right now, that see's you as his whole world." He finished looking at the man.
"He's right, even when I told him to kill you that time and it's partially my fault that my fault your still alive because I should have known he couldn't do it.." Rip started.
"Yeah yeah get to the point you time hopping freak." Mick interrupted again, earning laughs off everyone else in the room and Rip muttering something under his breath.
"Mr Snart is your fiancée what are you supposed to tell him? What are we supposed to tell him?" Rip asked, getting to the point as Mick called it.
"Nothing." Mick answered, once again shrugging his shoulders. "I'm not saying a word and you lot better not either."
"You don't seem to understand the situation. The man loves you, he has no-one else in his life which will look after him to the extent that you do. Imagine how it's going to feel losing the one person you love the most, and quite possibly only been with for, and then also turns out that it was planned and hidden away from him?" Stein explained, trying to reach out to Mick's emotions.
"I'll write him a letter or something I don't know I haven't thought that far yet! Just don't tell him. He's been through enough suffering throughout his life." Mick said trying his best to answer the best he can. He knows the older man is right but he isn't going to change his mind.
"If you know he's been through enough suffering then why areyou taking away the one piece of happiness he has left and is holding on too because he doesn't want to lose you." Kendra asked, one one side she was happy she wasn't going to lose Ray but it's supposed to be Ray's destiny to do this task, and she knows the pain of losing your soul mate and that's what she see's Leonard and Mick, soul mates.
"Because he can do a lot better than me. After all I did, I was going to kill his sister right in front of him over and over again. Who the fuck does that in front of someone they supposed to love. Heck I tried to kill him, he lost his hand, he's a wanted criminal back at home because of me, so he's going to be a lot better without me. You all know it, I know it and I think deep down even he knows it. Who would you rather lose. Me the meathead or Ray the super nerd?" Mick explained and the whole room went silent again. "That's what I thought."
"I don't see how it's going to work, he's going to be right by your side the whole time like he normally is." Ray said and Mick once again shrugged his shoulders and gave him a look to say come on, work it out.
"He's not going to be at this particular event is he?" Stein said, putting the pieces of the puzzle together and Mick just gave him a round of applause.
"Rip here is going to do the one thing he's good at, staying on board and he's going keep Snart with him." Mick explained before muttering something under his breath and walking towards the direction to the door.
"And what are we supposed to tell him when everyone else comes back but you." Kendra shouted at him as he left the room and she sighed.
"Well, at least he's doing the moral thing for once and not thinking of himself." Sarah commented, earning glances off the others. "Too soon?"
Later that day.
Snart had woken up after his much needed nap, and as usual, the first thing he did was head to the kitchen.
"He really isn't thinking about Snart and how he's going to feel about all of this." A voice said from the kitchen which caused him to pause and listen through the door.
"I think he is, but a little too much. He see's himself being the worse thing for Leonard... When in all honestly he's the best thing." A deeper voice said and Snart still kept listening, what on earth could they be on about?
"He's basically committing suicide, and he won't even tell his fiancé about the plans. If he weren't going to be bad enough it's going to hurt more knowing that Mick kept it from him, and even worse if he finds out we all know." The first voice said as Snart was trying to work out what they were on about.
"He wants to save my life by losing his." A third voice said, obviously belonging to Ray. "We have to let him do this, he's thought it through a lot, we can't change his minds about this. He's too suborn." Ray then added.
"Okay yeah we can't change his mind about doing it but what about telling Leonard. He has the right to know that he won't see him again. I know Mick doesn't want to hurt him, but it's best he knows than doesn't know." The first voice he then realised to belong to Sarah.
"Mick's definitely not going to tell him, so that leaves one of us to tell him. In all honestly it's best if it comes directly from Mick, but he won't and Leonard has the right to know." The second voice said and Snart was even more confused, what are they talking about.
"Could you imagine how that conversation will go? 'Hey Len, uh I'm going to be the one to set the Oculus to self destruct, saving Ray's life, but ending my own.'" Sarah then said and for a second there Leonard forgot to breath, it hurt too. The love of this life is basically going to commit suicide to save some nerd. Worst of all everyone else was in on it and he wasn't going to tell him.
"I don't think he will say it quite like that. Leonard is the only person Mick cares about on this whole ship, he'll say it with a tad bit more sensitivity." Ray said and Leonard didn't want to hear anymore, he has to get away from them. He needs time to think about what he just heard. Leonard managed to stumble away, knocking something over in the process.
"What was that?" Sarah asked and she left the kitchen to check as Leonard managed to run back to his quarters and all he did was sit on his bed and cry, and asked Gideon to lock the door so no-one could get in without his say so.
-a while later-
All the other legends were in the kitchen as Ray was about to finish cooking their evening meal, they generally take turns in cooking, but only an handful could actually do it, Mick just burns all the food (sometimes on purpose), Sarah more often than not gives everyone food poisoning due to serving undercooked food, Rip never attempted to cook and Stein never learned to due to him growing up in an era that generalised cooking with the woman of the household.
"Hey where's Leo?" Mick asked, glancing at the empty seat next to him.
"I don't know, haven't seen him all day." Jax answered, shrugging his shoulders.
"Gideon." Mick shouted
"Yes Mr Rory?" The computer asked.
"Where's Leonard?" Mick asked and their was a brief pause.
"Mr Snart is in his quarters, not wanting to see anyone." Gideon answered earning a few confused looks off everyone before Mick stood up to go to his quarters. Leonard had eventually stopped crying and just sat their in silence, playing with the ring he had on his finger... His engagement ring. He smiled at the memory which popped into his head.
It was a warm winters night, he hadn't seen much of Mick that day, and he was acting rather strange.
"Mick?" Leonard asked as he came downstairs after having a shower. He looked around the living room, silence. He walked into the kitchen, no sign of him there either. But there was a note left on the fridge for him.
"Dress fancy I'm taking you out for dinner I'll be there at 7:30" the note read and Leonard smiled as he read it, he looked at the time 7:15. Muttering a few curse words to himself he ran back upstairs to get ready.
The night was a lovely clear night and Mick took him to the fanciest restaurant in town, which over looked the city lights it was romantic, and he couldn't believe he was here with the man he loved more than anything in the world.
"How did you get us a table here? Some people have to wait months to get a table." Leonard asked and Mick just smiled as their desert came.
"I have a few connections." Mick said as he started to eat the cheesecake he ordered.
"I bet this is costing you a fortune." Leonard said astonished.
"You're worth it." Mick said, the ring box burning a hole in his pocket, he's got the whole evening planned, the meal then they're going stargazing at lovers point (cliché but that's where they went on their first date) and that was when he was going to pop the question. Deserts eaten and the bill payed, Mick lead Leonard to his car and drove them to their next destination, the route Leonard knew very well so he soon clicked on to where they were going. After what felt like hours of stargazing and cuddling and several 'I love you's later, Mick finally got the courage to pop the question.
"Leonard.." He trailed off causing the other man to sit up and look at him confused. "Ever since I laid eyes on you in Juvie I knew I had to protect you. I don't know why, I was always a lone wolf, always thought I was better that way. But then I met you, you changed the way I thought about life, how it is better to have someone with you to look after you and for you to look after them. I fell in love with you the moment I set my eyes on you, I jus didn't realise it at the time. It wasn't until many years later I realised it. And uh, I guess what I'm trying to say is thanks for sticking up with me for this long and, uh, I would like that to not change, ever. So Leonard Snart, will you do me the honours of marrying me?" Mick asked, opening the ring box, his heart beat going insane. He had practice the speech all day and when it came round to it he couldn't remember a damn thing. Sure they would talk about the future, well by future, he means plotting their next criminal escapade. But marriage? Never.
"Mick Rory, I would love to become your husband." Leonard answered with a big smile on his face which Mick matched as he slid the ring on. Needless to say when they got home that night, they expressed their love several times.
Still playing with his ring he sighed. They promised not to keep anything from the other one so why is he keeping his own death from him? Why does he even want to do it? Has he had enough of life... Of him? Yes after the engagement they spoke about years into the future about their wedding and they both wanted a family, but, they can't have a child of their own for obvious reasons, so they were going to have to adopt and they were okay with that because they loved each other. Unless Mick didn't feel the same way anymore? Is that why he's wanting to do it, to get away from him? Realising he was being stupid he shut those thoughts to the back of his mind when there was a knock on the door.
"Leo?" The voice asked, belonging to Mick as he knocked on the door again. "I know you're in there, Gideon told me." He then added.
"Go away." Leonard simply said not wanting to speak to him, well not anyone to be exact but especially him.
"Baby what's wrong I can't help if you shut me out." Mick said trying to open the door but obviously failing due to it being locked.
"Well that's alright with you, you're always wanting to help but without anyone's feelings in mind." Leonard said rudely. He wasn't expecting it to come out like it did but it happened. On the other side of the door, Mick couldn't work out why Leonard was acting like this.
"Gideon, unlock his door." Mick shouted.
"I'm afraid I can't do that without Mr Snart's permission." The computer said and Mick groaned.
"That is also partially my bedroom too, I should be allowed in there." Mick said, reaching out to the computers. Yes they had separate bedrooms, but that doesn't mean they don't sleep with one and other. More often than not one would go in the other ones bedroom for the night. It's just that there isn't a lot of room in these rooms before them to share properly.
"I'm sorry, I'm still not allowed to open the door without Mr Snart's permission." The computer said again.
"Damnit. Leo please open the door. We can work this out, whatever this is. Come on babe, it's dinner time I don't want you to go hungry and Gideon told me you've not left there all day." Mick said, desperate are to reach out to him. On the inside, Leonard had gotten out of bed and walked to the door placing his hand on the door, trying to hold back the tears. He's pushing him away so it'll hurt less when he loses him. He should know better but that's not the case. "Please." Mick said also placing his hand on the door. Silence. They were like that for a couple of minutes.
"Ah Mr Rory are you..." Rip started before realising what he was doing.
"He's not letting anyone in and he's not coming out. I just want to know what's wrong." Mick said removing his hand off the door and taking one last look at it. "If you change your mind, well I'll save you some dinner. Come out please." Mick added before walking towards Rip.
"He'll come out, he can't stay in there forever." Rip said as the duo headed back in the kitchen.
"God I hope you're right I don't want to spend the last days I have talking to him through a door." Mick said as he walked back into the kitchen. Leaving a tear-y eye Leonard in his bedroom.
The next few days, Leonard still refused to leave his room, only to use the bathroom and eat when he knew everyone wasn't around. He still refused to speak to anyone and Mick still desperately trying to reach out too him. Especially on the last day.
"Leo please, open the door. It's been days." Mick pleaded. Silence. Nothing new there. Mick sighed as he pushed a letter underneath the door. He really didn't want their last words to each other to be through a letter but that's the only other way to explain this ordeal. Mick just stood there for a couple of minutes before going back to meet the others.
"Right then this is the plan... All of you will go down, Kendra, Sarah, Stein and Jax will distract the time masters whilst Ray and Mick will find the Oculus and set it for self destruct. You'll all have a matter of minutes to get yourself out of there.. While Mr Rory will stay behind and ensure it destructs. Meanwhile I'll stay on here and keep an eye on Mr Snart.." Rip described
"I'm afraid that might be difficult captain as Mr Snart is not on board." Gideon interrupted, causing a look of concern off Mick and a confused look off everyone else.
"What do you mean 'he's not on board.'" Mick asked, before working it out... The silent treatment and the fact he's not on board. "He knows. Which one of you boneheads told him." Mick demanded.
"None of us have seen him for days and you're the only one that's been trying to reach out to him. You wouldn't let anyone else try." Sarah informed earning a grunt off Mick.
"Then how the fuck does he know?" Mick exclaimed.
"I can answer that Mr Rory. He over heard Miss Lance, Mr Palmers and Mr Stein Talking about it in the kitchen that day." Gideon said earning a few alarmed looks off the three.
"And now you decide to tell me this?" Mick roared before stomping off.
"Where at you going?" Kendra shouted at him.
"To find my fiancé before he does something stupid." Mick yelled back and the others looked at Rip.
"Well go with him!" Rip instructed as the others chased after him. So much drama that lies on this ship.
It took a while for Leonard to find the Oculus, even by his standards. But it wasn't impossible. Now all he's got to do is work out how to set it off and everyone he loves will be okay. He sighed. He really wishes he hadn't ignored Mick now but it was for the best and besides, he was still pissed off with him for hiding something like this.
"Thought I might find you here." A voice said from behind him. Mick. "What are you doing?" He then added.
"What does it look like I'm doing saving your life. Oh wait only you can do that an hide it from someone you supposedly love." Leonard said with a glare.
"Your right I shouldn't of hid it from you but I didn't want to hurt you." Mick explained taking a step closer. "So you hid it from me instead, leaving me to find out by myself. Nice one." Leonard said rolling his eyes in the process.
"I did it to protect you, and everyone else. No-one else trusts me on that ship and remember you didn't briefly." Mick explained coming closer to Leonard.
"Since when did you care about the others?" Leonard asked.
"I don't."
"Really it sure seems like it by you wanting to take your own life instead of Ray doing it." Leonard said and Mick just shrugged his shoulders.
"I will do it if you move out of my god damn way. Leo you've got to let me do this and move on. You can do so much better than me and you know it. You can have a life to start a family, your own family. Please." Mick explained before going to hug the other man before kissing him and Leonard kissed back with just as much passion.
"I'm sorry, I just can't let you do that." Leonard whispered before knocking Mick out with his cold gun. "I love you..." Leonard trailed off before taking off his engagement ring and placing it in his pocket before turning too the Oculus. Time to save the world, Leonard thought to himself before doing what he had to do.
"Mick have you.." A voice said as they entered the room. Sarah. "Oh god."
"He's not dead just knocked out. Get him and the others out of here. Now. You only have a matter of minutes to get out and as far away as possible. Go." Leonard explained as he heads footsteps closing on. Sarah just nodded and picked the other man up before leaving the room.
"Stop! It's going to over heat and blow up! Remove your hand now." A time master said they walked into the room. Snart just smirked at them.
"There are no strings attached on me." He simply said before the Oculus blew up and the whole world went black.
Elsewhere, the team just watched the explosion from the jump ship and mourning over the death of their team mate.
what do you you think? I already have the idea for chapter 2 so let me know :)
