Chapter Four

The Truth is in the Music

Barry

It didn't take long for the bank security footage to get to CCPD, took even less time for me to notice something unexpected.

"Well, I can tell you one thing for sure. Our Meta-robber is female." I smiled slightly at everyone's confused looks, "Her general stature and body type is pretty much what clues you in. Though, I have to give her credit, she was extremely careful to not let us see her face." As the video continued to play, I noticed something weird.

"Something catch your eye, Allen?"

I nodded, "Yeah, actually. Didn't all the banks in Central upgrade their security systems in such a way that they were supposed to have excellent audio quality? If so, why can't we hear anything?"

A few moments later, Cisco pointed at the computer screen, "There! That room she walked into, it's their security room, she must've gotten into the camera feed and erased the audio."

I turned to him, "You able to get it back?"

He nodded, "May take a hot minute, but I should."

As we watched her walk out, Singh nodded, "Get to work on that then."

I let out a low hum as I thought of an idea, "I'm gonna go check in with Iris, see if she or anyone else at CCPN has seen anything like this before."

Captain Singh nodded, "Good thinking. I want to wrap this up as soon as possible."

Once I was out the door, I sped over to S.T.A.R. Labs where Harry, visiting from Earth 2, and Caitlin were waiting for me.

"Harry, on Earth 2, was there ever a Meta that robbed banks by putting people to sleep?"

He shook his head, "Not that I can think of. Why?"

I sighed, "That's her M.O., somehow she's able to use her powers to put people to sleep and then have them wake up with no memory of who or what knocked them out." Rubbing a hand over my face, I began to leave the Cortex.

"Where are you going?" He asked.

"To check in with someone who might know something about this."

Walking into Saints and Sinners, I wasn't surprised to see Snart sitting at one of the tables with Lisa, who was taking a break from adventuring with the Legends.

"Well, well, well. Barry Allen. To what do I owe the pleasure?"

Lisa moved over as I sat down across from him.

"Central City Bank just got robbed, I was wondering if you," I glanced at Lisa, "either of you, knew anything about it."

He smirked, "If you mean you want to know if I had a hand in somewhere, let me assure you that I had nothing to do with it."

I rolled my eyes, "Yeah, I know. Whoever did it is a Meta."

"Then what makes you think that Lisa or I would know anything?"

It was my turn to smirk, "I thought you knew about everything that went down. Tell me that this isn't the first you're hearing about this robbery, Snart."

He didn't miss a step, "Pretend that it is."

I cleared my throat, "This Meta, whoever they may be, has the ability to make people fall unconscious and have them wake up with no memory of who or what did that."

He raised an eyebrow, "Really now? They sound fun, would make a good Rogue."

I gave him a look.

Lisa nudged my arm, "Oh, lighten up, hun. Tell me, how's Cisco doing? Still single?"

I rolled my eyes, "Don't think he's exactly looking right now. No offense."

She pouted, "Fine. Whatever." She waved her hand, "Move so I can get out."

After she left, I turned back to Snart, "Well?"

He sighed, slightly over dramatically, "Gotta tell you, Kid, haven't heard of this Meta of yours. I'll keep a look out, but no promises that I'll actually tell you when I find him."

I shook my head, "Typical. The Meta's a 'her,' by the way."

"Even better."

Rolling my eyes, I left the bar and headed back to CCPD.

Marla

I plopped onto my, albeit crappy, couch with a huff after CCPD finally let me go once they realized no one actually knew anything. I smiled thinking about how long it could potentially take them to realize I messed with the camera's audio. I sighing, I stood up and walked into my kitchen, where I pulled out the false back inside one of the cabinets. Placing a majority of the money in there, I left some out for me to deposit now.

I liked to pride myself on being smarter than the other people who became Metahumans after the Particle Accelerator exploded. I didn't use my powers right away, I tested them to the full extent of their abilities and made sure I knew everything they could and could not do. Like Mark Mardon versus his brother Clyde. Clyde automatically started robbing banks again despite the fact that he had an extremely lucky break with the fact that he was thought to be dead. Because of that, his powers were chaotic, unrefined. Meanwhile, Mark learned how to control his powers and, by doing so, his abilities were much more powerful than Clyde's and easier for him to manipulate however he wanted.

I also made a plan on how to spend the money I stole. I wouldn't spend it all at once, that was just too noticeable. My plan was to first pay off all my student loans, be able to pay my rent as needed, and then think about getting a car, if I really needed one.

As long as I kept my head, I would make it out of this okay.

Snart

After my chat with Barry, I was quick to make my way to my Rouges safe house. Sitting at one of the tables was my latest recruit, Hartley Rathaway.

"Piper." He looked up as I sat next to him, "Need you to find someone for me."

He cocked an eyebrow, "Oh? And why is that?"

"Because I want to recruit them."

He shrugged, "Fair enough. What do you need?"

"First, get me the security footage from Central City Bank. I'm looking for whoever robbed it."

With a few clicks, we were watching the footage. But something was off.

"She disabled the audio. Smart."

"How'd you know."

I gave him a look, "Because any place of importance in Central -banks, museums, etcetera- all upgraded their security to have excellent audio quality." I watched her walk into the backroom, "There. That's the bank's security room, that's how she did it. Get me the audio."

"I thought that it was illegal to have audio with security cameras? Invasion of privacy and all that."

"It is, but because of all the Metahumans with unpredictable powers running around, city officials thought it best to add in the audio just in case someone's power had to do with sound. Get me the audio."

"One second." He typed furiously.

My eyes narrowed as a song began to play, only to smirk once I realized something about the music.

"Her ability is the music. Once it stopped, everyone woke up."

"So, what do you want me to look up?"

"Pull up hospital records, find me a young woman age twenty to twenty-five who was working with some form of music the night of the Particle Accelerator explosion. Then, cross reference that list with anyone who was in Central City Bank when it was robbed."

He gave me a look, "It's going to take some time, you do realize how many people were sent to the hospital the night of the Particle Accelerator exploded?"

"Do it, Piper."

Pushing away from the table, I walked into my workshop.

Barry

At the end of my shift at CCPD, I waited for the elevator when I was approached by Captain Singh.

"Allen? You get anything?"

I shook my head, "Partial print off of the pen that didn't match the teller's, but whoever did this doesn't seem to have any priors since she's not in our system, that or she's never been caught."

He nodded, "Alright, have a good night."

Soon after, I was running to S.T.A.R. Labs.

"Cisco, were you able to get the audio from the bank?"

He nodded, "Yep. All the audio there was during the robbery was this song." He pressed the spacebar and let the song play, "Y'know, I think her powers are tied to the music because it looks like everyone woke up right when the song ended."

Caitlin smiled slightly, "I'll look into anyone with a connection to music the night of the Particle Accelerator explosion. It's not much, but it's more than we had."

And that's that! Next time, Snart, Marla, and Barry finally meet and a deal is struck.

As always, reviews are welcome and constructive criticism is appreciated.

See you next time!
