Heisting

"Finally, something my speed." Mick said in regard to the category they were doing that day- heisting.

Originally Kendra hadn't put this one in their but Rip made some adjustments to the schedule and when she checked it again it was on the list. When she questioned him about this all he said was something about 'canvassing abilities'. She was starting to see now what he meant. Everyone expected Mick and Leonard to tie, all except for the two themselves. They knew each other well and had worked on all of their heists. This was why Mick knew he had the advantage over his partner. The reason for Mick knowing that he was going to win was the key difference between him and Leonard- thinking. While his partner was the brains of the operation it also took more time to canvas the environment. Mick was better at thinking on his feet, figuring things out in the moment rather than before.

As Gideon explained what they would have to go through to get the jewel, Mick prepared himself. He was facing nothing out of the ordinary- lasers, pressure tiles, safes with locks- nothing he hadn't dealt with before. And on top of that Gideon acted as the guard, checking in every 2 minutes. And just with hearing that, he was ready to go.

"Let's get dirty kiddos." He said, cracking his knuckles.

Some of the other contestants weren't as confident though. Mainly Stein, who found out that he only got a pass of one of them and he used that on the hot dog eating contest. He did plan to actually participate in this competition though.

Sara interrupted his thoughts with a question. "So are we gonna get catsuits or should I bring my own?"

As if I need any more distractions. Leonard thought to himself. He and Sara had been together for a few weeks now, specifically after the Rubik's Cube competition. They had been trying to keep it quiet as they figured out their relationship. Mick knew because he and Leonard had a connection that rivaled Firestorm's psychic link. Other than him, they didn't think the others noticed. It was still at the point though where even the thought of Sara in a catsuit was enough to distract him. Unfortunately Sara was using this to her advantage and had managed to place higher than him in parkour because of it. He got back at her later that night though.

Jax went first and didn't do bad, other than almost getting caught by Gideon. His strategy wasn't the best though- he just decided to be faster than everything. Stein tried to use strategy but he wasn't fast enough and got caught. Ray used his suit which the others thought was cheating but didn't protest because his plan backfired. When he got the jewel, he couldn't shrink back down and tripped one of the wires trying to sneak back out. Kendra's plan backfired too because she tripped one of the wires trying to fly. It was finally Mick's turn and he did better than some of them expected. He made it all the way through and had the fastest time so far. Sara went next and made it out without getting caught but she wasn't the fastest.

"You're up crook." She said as she walked by Leonard, kissing his cheek.

And the winner is- Mr. Rory.

As Gideon announced this, they all looked at the scoreboard. Sure enough, Mick had beat Leonard's score by 10 seconds.

"Finally! Alright who's drinkin to my win?"

They all agreed, Stein somewhat begrudgingly, and went to Rip's office. There wasn't any alcohol allowed on the ship but they all knew that Rip kept a stash in his office. After a while the party started to wind down as people got tired. Surprisingly, Sara and Snart were the first to crash. The others figured they needed some down time to themselves and whatever they did, and so they didn't say anything.

"Gin, and just for the record I know you let him win." Sara said as soon as they were alone.

"I don't know what you're talking about. Mick won fair and square."

"Don't lie to me, I know you purposely took longer on the lock so he could win."

He say there indignantly before finally deciding to tell the truth. "It was nice for him to win at least one of the games."

"I guess you're right. So- Gin?"

"I'll get the real stuff, you set it up." Before he left he turned back to see her shuffling cards. "And for the record- I know when you stack the deck." He smirked and left to go get the alcohol.
