Poll Numbers and After Parties
Written by: Iris West-Allen
After a night of performing arts, Mayoral hopeful Leonard Snart is now leading in the polls. Central City voters have found another side to the usually cold and calculating candidate and have, if the numbers are anything to go by, liked what they'd seen.
Pictures of the heir with lead ballerina, Sara Lance, and star of the Star City ballet have surfaced all over social media, showing Mr. Snart, among other things, laughing, smiling and even making Miss Lance smile.
It would appear, to this reporter at least, that Beauty has Tamed the Beast.

"Beauty has tamed the Beast?"
Iris looked thoroughly ashamed as Lisa tried very hard not to laugh at her old friend.
"I wrote it as a joke in the first draft and my news editor saw it and wouldn't let me drop it. He said it added a fairytale quality to the story that would draw the more optimistic of readers." Iris sighed. "How mad is Len?"
"Honestly? I think he's more upset about Sara than anything. I guess the managers weren't too happy about her drawing attention to herself for anything other than dancing." Lisa explained. Iris looked upset and Lisa shook her head. "I wouldn't worry too much about it though. They're just looking out for her, I guess they've known her family for a long time and she's like family to them, so…"
Iris nodded. "I suppose it's not so bad."
"Are you kidding, it's hilarious. You know his opponent has already tried to capitalize on the "Beast" title and his own supporters jumped down his throat. Apparently they draw the line at mocking "Fairy Tale romances"."
"Is it really a romance though?" Iris asked. Lisa smiled.
"I think so, although Leonard won't admit it. I think he was quite taken with the little ballerina." Lisa laughed. "I caught him smiling while reading the review for the ballet the other day."
"Really? So he likes her then?" Iris asked.
"Yeah, I think he really does." Lisa smiled deviously as she leaned closer to her friend. "This is off the record, but he has a date with her tonight."
Iris smiled sweetly.

Date Night
Written By: Kara Danvers-CatCo WorldWide Media
Last Night Central City's own Mayoral hopeful and Corporate Heir, Leonard Snart was seen out and about with Prima Ballerina Sara Lance, Star of the Star City Ballet and the centerpiece of several romantic rumors surrounding Central City's newest candidate.
In a time where scandals in politics dominate the headlines and corruptions seems to be the hot button issue in political races, it is a balm to the regular news cycles to find a "scandal" that doesn't involve money, or theft or corruption, but instead seems to culminate in an oh so innocent rendezvous between to young adults, who by all accounts seem to enjoy one another's company.
Perhaps now, Central City can get back to the task at hand and focus on the issues surrounding the Mayoral Race.
