Chapter 9.
Snart couldn't remember the last time he felt this nervous about pulling a heist. If Barry made one wrong move, Lisa was as good as dead. The three walked in, Snart felt as if they were being watched and risked a glance at the shinny glass door they just walked through.
There on the door was Scudder. Crap, he was watching them. Snart's nerves were now even more on edge and his arms and hands started to tingle as if they were asleep.
He came back to reality at Barry settling an potential shoot out before it could happen. Barry glances back at him as they walked on to the floor they needed to be on.
" Hold on, did you hear that." They we're stopped when a noise was heard.
" I got it. " says Barry carefully looking around in the reflection of his phone. " Two armed guards. "
" Guess your timing didn't work out after all." Says Snart.
" That why I got a plan B." Replied Lewis getting out his gun.
" Yeah, cause you always needed one. " snapped Snart.
" Yeah but... your sister turned out to be a disappointment also. " Out of the corner of his eye, Snart saw Barry take off and quickly return to his place.
" All right, what do you guys say we get On with the job? " they looked. " Guards are gone. Must have taken a break. " says Barry.
" Must have." Growled Snart.
As they walked around to where the Draycon system was Snart kept seeing Scudder. Snart wasn't afraid to admit he was scared right now. His arms were tingling so much not to the point where it almost hurt.
Snart was so distracted that he didnt notice what theyw ere doing until he heard Barry. " Boom, told you Draycon was my jam. "
They walked around Barry. " Nice job Sam. "
Barry grinned. " Yeah. " he said.
" It's good to go out on a high note. " says Lewis. Snart's Eyed widened as his father shot at Barry and Barry flew back and landed in an awkward position on the ground.
Lewis walked away. " Sorry Barry. " says Snart.
Snart walked up to his fathers side. Scudder then walked out of the glass at the wall and crossed his arms. " Get on with it Snart. We don't have all day. "
" Go son, make me proud. " says Lewis
" Like I care. " Snart powered red up cold gun and froze the lasers.
" Ha, now what?" Says Lewis.
Snart held up hos arms and walked forward slowly, shattering the ice lasers as he did so. " I told you, I had a better way past the lasers. " says Snart.
" Step aside. Time for another lesson. " says Lewis moving Snart and making it to the safe. Snart wanted to kill him then and there for saying that.
" You've got 125 seconds before the system defrosts. " says Snart.
" Then what? " says Lewis.
Snart gave a glare. " Sirens. "
Lewis set to work. Scudder was just watching the entire thing. Probably making side Snart didn't double cross them.
Lewis then managed to get what he wanted just as the sirens rang out. " Time up. Let's get out of here. " says Lewis. They started running away when Barry showed up.
Snart felt a ton of relief at that knowing Barry was alive. " Your not going anywhere but Iron Heights Lewis. " says Barry. Then his eyes settled on Scudder. " Who are you? "
Snart's eyes shot between all of them. " Ah the Flash. I knew you would show up. " says Lewis.
" As for who I am. I am Mirror Master. " says Scudder. He stepped forward and gave a dangerous look that sent chills down Snart's spine. " And you will never leave here alive. "
" Wanna bet? " Says Barry. He put a hand to his mask. " Do I wanna bet? "
He then looked back. " What kind of a man puts a bomb in his own daughter? " says Barry.
" A very rich one. " he then looked at Snart, who had aimed his cold gun at Barry the second he arrived. " Kill him. "
Snart's arms and hands started to hurt pretty badly from the tingles now. His hand holding the gun had a slight tremble to it. Not only that, but the tingles have spread throughout his entire body. It was worse with his hands and arms though.
Snart hadn't made a move to fire yet. Scudder's look darkened. " Fire Leonard. " he growled.
Lewis held up a switch. " Fire or you'll never see your sister alive. " says Lewis.
Seconds before Snart pulled the trigger Barry put his hand to his mask and looked at Snart. " Lisa's safe. " he said relief like nothing he had ever felt before filled Snart.
He turned his gun to Lewis who had turned to stare at him with wide eyes. However, before Snart could fire, Scudder sent Snart flying to the side. Scudder then had a fun out and aimed at Snart.
" I still have a plan. Luckily I need you alive. I don't however, need you uninjured. " growled Scudder.
He fired before Barry could do anything. Snart helped and threw his hands out in front of his face. The tingles grew and his arms grew cold.
Gasps were heard as well as a clank of something hitting the ground. Snart looked for himself. The bullet was frozen and on the ground, Snart stared at his hands.
They looked like ice ice and he had steam coming off of them from how cold it was. Snart didn't understand it. Barry's jaw had dropped.
Snart stood up and walked forward. " Your sister may be safe for now, but..." Lewis never finished before Snart had him by the neck with his frozen hand.
" Never. Ever. Speak of her again you worthless excuses for a man. " growled Snart.
Scudder watched as Snart grew angrier. The more angry he got, the more the ice spread on his body. It was coating him from head to toe. " I am going to kill you Lewis. Slowly, painfully, in anyway I know how. " he walked forward and pressed Lewis to the wall, choking him. The ice spreading over Lewis's neck as Snart's power grew.
Scudder walked up. " That's enough of that." He then rammed the butt of the gun into Snart's temple. Snart released his father and turned on Scudder. He shot flrwaed a stream of ice. It almost looked like liquid nitrogen.
Flash had to do something before Snart killed all of them. Snart didn't realize he was yelling in anger as he used his power.
Flash ran forward and grabbed Snart and yanked him to he side. Snart was yelling and fighting Flash. Freezing his arms. Scudder quickly grabbed Lewis and escaped into a reflection and were gone.
" Stop fighting me Leonard. Their gone. " Yelled Barry.
" YOU LET THEM GET AWAY!" Yelled Snart.
" Because your out of control and right now you are more important. Now calm down." Snapped Barry.
Snart closed his eyes and took a deep breath. As he calmed down the hit to his head caught up with him. Snart grew very dizzy. His eyes rolled into the back of his head and he went limp in Barry's arms.
The last thing he heard was Barry yelling his name. Then everything went black.
•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•
The next time he woke he realized he was on a soft bed. He opened his eyes. " He did what?" Says Lisa.
" He has ice shorting from his hands and his body turned to ice. It was like nothing I've ever seen before. " says Barry.
Snart looked at his body. His rib cage was wrapped up, as were his wrists and a spot on his neck. " Where am I? " says Snart.
They looked, Mick was there as well. " Your in Star Labs. " says Barry.
Caitlin walked up to him. " Do you remember what happened Leonard? " she asked.
Snart nodded. " I don't get it though. How do I have ice powers?"
" I think I may know. " says Mick.
They looked at him. " When the partial accelerator blew and sent that wave of stuff I found Snart yelling in pain next to liquid nitrogen that almost seemed like it was sleeping into his skin from a bullet hole in the container he was next to. " says Mick.
" Scudder was next to a mirror which is why he has the power to go in and out of a mirror. " says Snart.
Everyone looked at Snart. " So that's it then. Snart's a meta human. " says Barry. Snart wasn't afraid to admit that though scarred him.
Things could not get any worse
