Snart woke the next morning on his own, he would have thought Lewis would have done something to wake him up. So this was a nice surprise. Snart moved his hand and winced, the bruises were starting to really hurt his wrists.
Snart moved and sat up, ignoring the sting now. He grabbed his parka and stood up, he slipped his parka on and put his cold gun in its holdster before walking to the door. He opened it and walked forward. He had no idea what time it was, or how late he might have slept.
Snart walked led back to the main area to see Lewis still going over the blueprints. He looked up. " Good, your awake. " he said. He reached into his pocket and brought out something and set it on the counter in front of him. " That's for you. "
Snart walked up and looked. It was a tube of some type of cream and about fifty dollars in cash. " What's this for?"
" The cream is a numbing agent. You can put it on the bruises on your wrists. The money is for your breakfast. Go to that bar you like and eat. Take your time." Says Lewis.
Without saying a word, Snart slowly picked the stuff up and backed up. " So, your just letting me go?" Says Snart.
" Just for the time it takes you to get your meal. Come right back though, I'll have our plan done by then. " says Lewis.
Snart nodded before turning and levaing. He left and went to the bar Saints and Sinners. He walked in and sat down at a booth seat. He read the tube of cream. It did have a numbing agent in it, but it was also to let it heal faster. He used it a lot as a kid whenever he had to hide bruises from teachers and other students, or curious neighbors.
Snart set it to the side, he was debating if he should use it or not. He then looked at the money, he knew they planned for him to go here to meet the Flash. Knowing Barry, he was bound to show up any second to try and talk to him. Just then the waitress walked up. " The usual I assume? " she asked.
" Yes, that will be good. " says Snart. She nodded and walked off to the back kitchen. Snart stuffed the money into his pocket and stared at the tube of cream. It didn't confuse Snart at all why Lewis would give him something for it, he wanted to keep it a secret and having anyone find out would be deadly to him and his sister.
It didn't take long afterwards for the food to be brought to him along with a cup of coffee. It had to seem like seconds after he started eating that Barry showed his face at the door. Barry walked up and sat down. " Well Barry, back from the dead already. " says Snart. He then looked up at Barry. " Pass me the salt."
Barry slid over the salt. " Don't spill, its bad luck."
Snart looked up at him, sprinkled salt over his food before setting the salt back down on its side, spilling it. Barry huffed in slight annoyance at him.
" Why are you working with Lewis? " says Barry. Those words almost made Snart jump, relief surged through him. Barry was getting closer, good. " Lisa says you hate him. "
Snart looked up. " Things are... complicated between family. " says Snart. He took a bite. " You should know, with you and your parents."
Barry didn't even seem affected by it. He was about to say something when he noticed the tube of cream. He quickly grabbed it and looked at it. " This cream is normally for bruises. Why do you have it?" Says Barry.
" That is none of your business. " says Snart eating another bite. Barry looked to be studying him as he ate.
" It appears like it's going to be my business. Is this cream for those bruises on your face?" Says Barry.
" No. I wouldn't be who I am if I couldn't them take a punch to the face. " says Snart.
" Did Lewis do that? I know he used to hit you and Lisa. " says Barry.
Snart didnt speak, he took another bite. Seconds later though Barry snatched his wrist. Pain flared from his touch and Snart had to force himself not to jerk his arm back. Barry pulled back the sleeve and stared in shock. " How the heck did this happen Snart?" Says Barry.
Snart jerked his arm back, or tried to. Barry wouldn't release him. " Let go of me." Growled Snart.
" Tell me how this happened. Then I'll let you go. " says Barry.
" I don't have to tell you anything. " Growled Snart. He tried to jerk his hand back again.
" You were given this cream to numb it up so people wouldn't find out, weren't you?" Says Barry.
Snart gave Barry a look. " Why ask questions you already know the answer to." Growled Snart. At that Barry released his wrist.
Snart jerked his arm back, Barry passed over the tube of cream. " Tell me what's going on. Let me help you." Says Barry.
" Stop wasting time trying to save people who don't want to be saved. " says Snart.
" Yeah well maybe it's not just about you, right. I bet whatever you two are up to innocent people are going to get hurt. " says Barry.
" Don't worry, I remember our little deal, you leave me alone and I make sure no one dies. " says snart earing another bite of food.
Barry looked to the side and smiled before looking back. " Alright, you a criminal, Snart, but you live by a code. It sounds to me like Lewis doesn't, like he won't care if people die. " says Barry. Snart hated he couldn't tell Barry everything right now. It annoyed him so much. " That's why I can't leave this alone."
" Then everyone will know who that Flash is under that mask." Says Snart waving a finger at Barry.
" I don't care. I will take you down anyway, both of you. " says Barry.
Snart nodded and wiped his his mouth with a napkin. " We'll see about that. " he then stood, grabbed the tube of cream and started walking away. " Thanks for the meal. " as he walked away he nodded at the waitress and she walked over and set the bill by Barry.
Snart left the building and went on his on his way back to the warehouse. He stopped at an alley though and rolled up his sleeves. He opened the tube of cream and put some on his left hand. He then gently rubbed it over the bruises on his right wrist before doing the same to his left.
He then turned and left for the warehouse. He walked in to see Lewis standing there glaring at him. " What?" Says Snart.
" You almost let the Flash find out about this." Growled Lewis Walking forward.
Snart began to panic a little, how on earth did he know what happened? " I did no such thing." Growled Snart.
A loud crack was heard and Snarts head snapped to the side. " Don't lie to me boy." Growled Lewis. Snart looked back at him.
" He almost found out, but I have this under control. He's no where near finding out about what we're doing, cause even I don't know what we're doing." Says Snart.
Lewis growled in anger. Snart was curious as to how Lewis knew about his meeting with Barry and the fact that he said the Flash. Must have something to do with that partner he has yet to meet.
He wasn't going to ask him that cause Lewis was ticked enough as it is. Lewis suddenly gripped his arm in a tight grip that almost hurt and yanked him into the building to his work table.
He tossed him him into the chair that was there. Snart almost growled in anger at him. " This mistake will not go unpunished. Your going to sit there and take whatever come, if not I'll just hit this button and kill your sister. Understand?!" Growled Lewis.
Snart growled angrily. " Fine. " he knew there was no fighting this. He had no other choice, but to accept this or lose the only person he gave a crap about.
Lewis walked over to the table and opened a small metal box there. He sat down in the chair across from Snart and brought out bits to a device. Snart knew what it was, he's seen enough of them to know.
" You remember this don't you. My second police taser. This one has the shock on the end of it, only to be used in emergency's or in this case punishment for misbehaving children. " says Lewis.
" Your a sick freak you know that! " snapped Snart.
His father chuckled. " I may be, but so are you son. I still care for you. It may not seem like it, but I do. I'd protect you by killing anyone that even so much as spoke to you wrong. " says Lewis.
" I don't care about you one bit old man. I hate you! " snarled Snart. " if it wasn't Lisa's life on the line right now. You'd be dead. "
Lewis growled at that. He had put it together already and pressed the button. Loud violent shocks were seen at the top of it. " Time for another lesson son." Says Lewis.
He lunged forward and pressed the the button as he jabbed the tip to Snarts rib cage. Snart yelled in pain before silencing himself. He had forgotten how painful this taser was.
" You lucky I don't kill you sister for the words you just said to me boy." Snapped Lewis.
Snarts face was a grimace of pain as he tried with all his might not to scream out and give Lewis the sadifaction of knowing how much pain he's causing him. Lewis then removed it. Snart gasped in deeply.
He only waited about about thirty seconds before pressing it to him again. Snart grunted in pain. His grunts were grunts of effort to keep back his screams. If felt like five minutes he had that taser pressed to his side. When in reality it was only two.
It was removed yet again and Snart hung his head down, beads of sweat now running down his face. " You'll n-never get away with this. I'll kill ya soon enough. " growled Snart. All that got him was the taser back at his side
" Oh the tough guy act. I've seen that many times. Your threats sound threatening, but they hold no promise. " says Lewis.
As he tased him he punched Snart in the face with his free hand. Snarts head snapped back and a cry of pain left his mouth. " You stupid boy. " growled Lewis.
He had yet to remove the taser. Instead he flipped a little switch and it went up in power. Snart couldn't stop himself for yelling in pain.
" Our little crime buddy is coming over tonight and you'll get to finally meet him. Until then I get to continue this lesson. " growled Lewis. Snart really hated this, he couldn't fight back against Lewis because Lewis had his finger on the button.
He he wanted to fight back, so freakin' badly, because darn t, that taser hurt. He could do nothing, but sit there and wait for it be over. Lisa was probably worried sick about him.
Lewis removed the taser. Snart barely moved, he was gasping and groaned in pain. " How does it feel Leonard. To be powerless against me yet again? To know that I will always have all the power and you will be powerless against me. " says Lewis wth a twisted grin.
Snart never answered. Lewis gripped his chin and forced him to look at him. " ANSWER ME! " he yelled.
" Never." Snarled Snart. Lewis growled and pressed the taser to Snarts neck this time. Snart screamed in agony this time.
" This is going to be a long hour or two for you. " says Lewis. He switched the power up more. Snarts screams only echoed through the building. Unheard from outside. No one was coming to help, no one knew. Snart was on his own. He only hoped that Barry would figure things out soon.
