Summary: "And we're back to bring you a new online challenge that the media has dubbed the 'Autograph Challenge", but it's not what you may think. Instead of trying to gather the most autographs from our local heroes, it's taken a darker approach as teens are collecting the autographs of villains and violent criminals. Stay tuned for more after the break" Crackfic?! Drabble

Catlin Snow hadn't planned on doing much that day.
With the Suicide Squad being a complete and utter bust, and no word of the fastest man alive, Catlin Snow, or Killer Frost as the outlets called her found herself with nothing to do.
On most days like this, she would go off in search of Firestorm, be it at his place or fighting crime, either would always end up as an interesting time.
It was quite different now, how she lived her life.
Not more then five years ago Caitlin was a villain that wreaked havoc over Central City finding joy and pleasure in freezing over the place. She had made many enemies but a few allies, that even still remained such as Leonard Snart. And even he too had changed his alliance much as she had in the recent times.
While Captain Cold was still dealing in illegals, he and his crew were still considered a domestic threat, he had become more of a natural player. True he still committed crimes, but he also did a fair amount of 'heroing' just like herself.
After the whole Suicide Squad debacle from three years ago and that uptight bitch of a woman, Amanda Walker, was forced to 'let the villains go'. Which ultimately led to Lobo holding a grudge about the whole 'bomb in brain' ordeal, having tried to kill her. In the end the government said it was an abuse of power to have the Suicide Sqaud and the Justice League laughed their asses off event.
When that had been all said and done some of the squad had returned to their former lives, after being allowed freedom for their services to the country. Boomerang, Lady Liberty, and Count Vertigo fell back on the life of crime. Floyd and Ben, Deadshot and Bronze Tiger respectfully had gone back too although had in a sense become vigilantes of the sort on the side.
While Caitlin and that nutjob Harley had gone as neutral as possible. Sure she still loved doing bad things, crimes and all, but after meeting Ronnie, Firestorm, she had somehow been forced to accompany and stay with him. A part of her told herself it was only for the heat, to keep her powers from killing her, but she did grow to like the guy.
And Harley Quinn, the most famous of the fucked up squad, well she was the only one to completely turn over a new leaf. She had not only stopped the stealing, the entire Joker gang, and overall 'villainess' activities but had as of this past year been seen sidekicking with some heroes. From Power Girl to Wonder Woman, all the way to being in a cage fight alongside the Birds of Prey, and her recent lover/enemy of sorts the anti-hero Red Tool.
That being said, Caitlin Snow aka Killer Frost was still just that, a killer and villain.
After finding nothing decent on tv, she decided the next best course of action was to go wandering a bit. She barely got down the apartment stairs when a kid, a teen probably just entering high school she assumed looked as though he was waiting for her.
Striking her with worry, she could feel ice build up around her as the boy caught her eyes.
"Who sent you?" She asked firmly glaring at the kid while doing her best to keep track of her surroundings, it had been a while since she'd been in a fight and her being rusty was not helping.
The boy gulped before shaking his head so fast she swore it would fall right off as he backed away, "Ah no! No one sent me, I'm all alone and unarmed, please don't hurt me!"
She raised a brow, relaxing slightly, okay then she thought, "Why were you waiting for me then?"
"I wasn't- I mean I was but I can't even hurt an ant and well you know it's hard to talk and I just-Uh sorry I meant that I-I was wondering if you could do me a favor," he paused as he face went white, "N-not that you have to though Ms. Frost and um, it would be nice cause there's this thing my class and I are trying to do you see and there's money on the line, like a million dollars. And my school's isn't being funded and it may close down so uh, we- I mean I was just hoping that-"
Catlin cut him off looking far more confused than ever, no longer feeling any type of threats coming from the boy, in fact, he looked ready to pass out from the whole thing, "Wow kid, what do you mean, 'internet thing'? Maybe just start by telling me what you wanted me to do exactly." She stated, shaking her head wondering if he wanted her to try to rob a bank to save his school or freeze someone, at this point anything was possible.
"Well-" he began as he told her everything about the so-called internet challenge, which in her mind seemed like a scam or a half-baked villain's idea to gather everyone's signature to steal from them. She even told him that while she was not a hero, she had done any crimes (or at least nothing that got her caught, yet) and that whoever began this challenge may not even accept hers.
The kid shook his head, saying there was a list of names of people to get and that she was up there, ranked alongside her once fellow comrades based on likeness to give out their autograph.
She was ranked #82 out of a couple thousand.
Not bad.
After some begging and almost a few tears, she accepted to give him an autograph until he went frozen again. Apparently, the kid wasn't the brightest teen, having left his stuff at his school which was only a few blocks away. Rolling her eyes to his apologies she told him that they would go together and grab it seeing as how her original plan was to go out anyways.
They arrived at the near-deserted school and entered one of the run-down classrooms so the boy could get his things. What met her eyes was something most surprising. In the room, there were perhaps a dozen teens, much like the boy with piles of paper encircled around them. On the projector in the back was the list of villains and heroes, with some having checkmarks and others crossed out.
Everyone had stopped what they were doing to look at her, their eyes bugging out of their heads as a moment of silence fell across the place. However, within a minute all of them were scrambling towards her, paper and pen in hand all asking for her autograph like a pack of wild fans.
And one by one, Caitlin Snow, aka Killer Frost begun signing each of the papers and admittedly looking a bet star struck herself until she had autographed each piece of paper.
Yea, she thought to herself looking at the group of smiling teens who, after receiving their autographs begun asking her series of questions. She even noticed the original kid who had dragged her all the way there had gone to the projector and checked off her name from the list.
Caitlin Snow, for some strange reason, had an odd want to be a hero now, perhaps she should see if the Justice League were still offering a position.

A/N: This version of Killer Frost is based off the Prime Earth version, not the CW/Suicide Squad animated Movie version btw (I am more familiar with this one). And she is actually a pretty sympathetic character, at least the newer series so I tried to make that reflect here.
Fun Fact: She joined the Justice League of America in DC Rebirth, so I was just easter egging that in here.
And so canonically for this Suicide Squad was made but disbanded (after the Lobo incident which s in the comics). All characters mentioned are canon and Oh! Red Tool is the DC version of Deadpool, it's hilarious.
