Hi everyone,
hopefulmuse617 here. I have been inactive for a while on account of finals and end of semester related matters. I have yet to air the next chapter of Neo Legacy (a bakugan fanfiction for those who do no know me), but recently I had been inspired by Arrowverse's crossover: "Crisis on Earth X" and the animated series, "Freedom Fighters: The Ray" to write this fanfiction concerning how Earth-1 Ray met Leo Snart and later became a pair. There are a lot of plot points not yet covered and warning of some spoilers in fanfic or implied. This takes place after the current episodes of "Freedom Fighters: The Ray" as season 1 is left at a cliffhanger, but there are some points I am 'adlibbing':
- The secret identity of Earth X Mick Rory; I figured from Citizen Cold, Mick-X would have a name with a one-word difference so I coined him as "Heatside"; also he is alive at the time they met
- Speaking of which I will try to draw Mick-X best I can from whatever Leo Snart has said about him and Mick-1's current personality
- According to the animated series Reverse-Flash had yet to join the Reich so this is while "Nazi Flash" is present.
- Vibe-X is as of right now uncertain as there had been non explicit evidence that he is dead in the animated show, also the fact Ray in the crossover asks Vibe-1(Cisco) how did breaches work or how the 'gateway' in STAR Labs work. Or he met Vibe-X, it's just that Vibe-X has not explained to him how breaches are formed.
- The mission that is given to Ray-1 is completed and in the midst of it he meets the Freedom Fighters: Phantom Lady and Black Condor, then meets with Uncle Sam who tells him to meet with General Winn Schott.
- Seeing how Ray-1 got his powers from Ray-X there will be some other implications concerning this.
I am also taking whatever info is given from "Legends of Tomorrow", its recent episode was hilarious with Leo in the picture and kind of weird, but then again "The Flash" has been doing alternate (universe) counterparts since season 2, so it should not be as mind-blowing. Enjoy this early Christmas present, while I work through one more final and a possible airing of Neo Legacy and the next chapter of this. I am not sure how far this will go, but I hope you all enjoy.
happy holidays,

ps- I was unsure which show this fanfiction would fall under as both Ray and Leo were present on "The Flash" and "Legends of Tomorrow", so I had labeled this as a crossover of Flash and Legends. If anyone has any comments against this or a better idea PM me your thoughts.
disclaimer- I do not own DC CW arrowverse characters.
To think that years ago he would have never thought he would find someone to love, with all the harsh laws and idealism of the Reich; Leo Snart otherwise known as Citizen Cold had to hide his feelings. He had to be constantly aware of his actions or he would end up in the concentration camp or worse. But that did not stop him from being a part of the solution. The rebellion under the command of Freedom Fighter general Winn Schott, while very stubborn, authoritative and hard as rock, his leadership and tough attitude made dents in many of the Reich's plans. Additionally he has his best friend at his side, Mickey Rory, Heatside. He had always been the kind, caring, hero he stood by and accepted him even when he 'came out', especially when he first met his boyfriend, Ray Terrill.
The Freedom Fighters, the group of vigilante metahumans who had opposed the Reich, had a drop of many key members. Red Tornado and Dollman died after a battle with the three Reichs Men Overgirl, Dark Arrow, and Blitzkrieg (a 'Nazi' Flash; literally google translates: flash war). Phantom Lady and Black Condor were in hiding and The Ray had 'disappeared' in breach when they last heard from Vibe(unclear/uncertain he is dead or alive). There was no news that he was dead. The members of the resistance prayed that he was not in the hands of the Reich, for he held Red Tornado's Neuro-cortex as it held the secret location of the Freedom Fighter headquarters. Should the Reich find it, they were all be dead.
Nevertheless the rebellion continued its efforts fighting for and protecting the citizens. While on a mission Heatside and himself managed to get the necessary intel, but also found that there were many captured civillians who were tortured only to later be killed. They(Mickey had to convince Leo) took it upon themselves to rescue them, however they put themselves in a bind. Standing back to back surrounded by Nazi soldiers armed with nothing but their respective Heat and Cold Guns, they were trying to hold their position until they found an opening to escape or reinforcements came(if that is).
"This why we stick to the plan!" Leo exclaimed.
"Really? You're choosing now to lecture about it!" Mickey replied. "How about after we get ourselves out of this mess, then you can tell me all about it!"
"Sure!"
They continued blasting at the nazi soldiers trying to stand their ground. Their guns were impressive, however they had only hold out for so long. It would not be long until they ran out of 'gun-power' and be left at the mercy of the Reich.
"If we don't make it out alive, I want you to know you had been the greatest friend and partner I could ever ask for, Mickey!"
"Don't talk like that Leo! We will make it out. So save your dramatics until then!"
"We'll be dead if not in a concentration camp-
Before Citizen Cold could finish his sentence, an explosion of light burst across the scene wiping out several Nazi soldiers, nearly blinding the pair. Even with their visors/goggles on the blast was still blinding. Repetitive light blast continued to hammer at the soldiers, until the commander declared a retreat and the soldiers began to rush off the battlefield.
"What was that?" Mickey asked.
"Look up Mickey." Leo said as he saw a streak of light soaring above in the sky.
Mickey followed his partner's vision. Seeing the same streak of light. Upon further inspection the streak of light was not just a streak of light. It was a glowing man in a black suit, black gloves and a golden helmet. It was The Ray. Or so they thought.
What do you all think? Comment, Review, Question, PM me. I know it was kind of short, but it was easier to set it up this way.
