Leonard walked through Central City like a ghost. He didn't care to visit anyone or anyplace. He knew Lisa was safe with Cisco and that Mick would pave his own road. He missed him though. They had been a team since he was thirteen years old. "Everyone moves on" he told himself.

Reaching the edge of the civilization known as Central City he paused to check his rations. Things were so quite back on Earth in 2016. He missed the adventure but he was tired and wanted to find something new. He had enough water for about two weeks and of course his trusty ice gun. He smiled remembering some of the crazier moments of his trip with the others. He zippered up his bag, he would hunt for food if he ran out and he could make the water last.

He gave a peace sign to the city behind him and he was about to head into the wild when he saw her. She had beautiful golden hair and a dress as blue as the sky. She looked lost and scared. Most of all she looked like a goddess that was in need of help. Taking a deep breath he decided to talk to the woman. "Excuse me ma'am are you alright?" Leonard asked. The women turned around and her eyes just blew him away. They were green and very deep. He could see the pain she had experienced in her life shine through them. She turned around and before saying anything she collapsed to the ground. "Dammit" Leonard said picking up the woman. "I guess I'm going back to the city" he growled and headed back into Central.

Mick was just clearing off space to sleep when he heard the doors to the hideout slide open. He got his heat gun out and waited. Maybe Savage wasn't as dead as they thought and he was first on his kill list. He listened as heavy boots headed his way, as the noise got louder he popped himself up and pointed the gun which landed right in front of Leonard's nose. Leonard pushed the gun to the side and laid the woman in his arms on the newly cleared off bed.

"Dammit Leonard you gave me a damn heart attack" Mick growled as he took a seat next to Leonard. "Ah Mick, your heart can withstand anything" Leonard said with a laugh to his voice. Mick, looking annoyed but happy asked "so who is the babe"? Leonard made a low growling noise and trying not to punch Mick said "I have no idea buddy. I saw her, she looked confused then collapsed". Mick groaned and said "ah she must have seen you and was overcome by your cuteness". This made Leonard blush. He had feelings for the brute but was afraid of being rejected or worst of all Mick not wanting anything to do with him because of his sexuality. He didn't think Mick would care but not knowing and the thought of being rejected by him scared the crap out of Leonard. "Hey, Earth to Leonard" Mick said and slapped Leonard on the shoulder. Leonard snapped out of his head and looked at Mick. "I'm fine just thinking" Leonard said as he tried to dodge Mick's beautiful and fearless eyes. "She doesn't seem to have a fever or nothing" Mick said still worried about Leonard. He would die for Leonard and he hoped one day that he would be able to tell Leonard exactly how he felt about him. He looked at the woman asleep on the bed and sighed. Leonard was obviously looking in a different direction when it came to his sexual interests. Sighing and pushing back those feelings Mick started rummaging through stuff.

Leonard sat down and watched as Mick kept himself busy. Something was on his mind and he knew that he would never be able to pull it out of him. When he was ready to talk he would.

The lady in blue started to stir and both men went to her bedside. "Where am I?" The woman asked weakly. "Your in Central City ma'am" Mick answered. "Leonard here saw you pass out and brought you back to our place to rest" continued Mick as he helped her sit up. He had to admit she was beautiful. He definitely saw why Leonard would've been staring.

"Thank you" she said trying to stand unsuccessfully. "Hey, sit down" Leonard said as he helped her get back into a safe sitting position. "I must get back to Arendelle and save my sister and her fiancé" she said in a panicked voice. Mick and Leonard looked at each other. Neither of them had ever heard of this Arendelle. "Alright, we will get you back to this Arendelle but first you need to rest. By the way, what is your name?" Leonard asked. She weakly smiled and said "Elsa" and fell back to sleep. Leonard couldn't help but smile. Elsa was such a beautiful name. Mick got up and sat down away from the other two. Not only did he hate seeing Leonard fawn over someone else but he knew he shouldn't be fawning over her. He had to tell Leonard the one thing he never wanted to come to light but it seemed as though it as smacked him in the face and he was going to have to. He watched as Leonard covered Elsa with a warm blanket and sit down on the floor by her bed. Mick allowed tears to flow as he turned his head away from Leonard's eyesight. This wasn't going to be fun for either of them and he might loose Leonard in the process.

The hours passed. Elsa was sleeping peacefully and her fever seemed to subside. Leonard kept an everlasting watch over her while Mick was just figuring out what he his next move in this game was. He had to tell Lenny. He didn't like lying to him but he also knew exactly where this knowledge would lead and what it could lead to. He didn't know if he was ready for that. Looking at Leonard holding Elsa's hand Mick made a decision. He had to tell both Elsa and Leonard the cold hard truth.

The next morning Mick made the most delicious blueberry pancakes Leonard had ever tasted. He also knew that if Micky was cooking he was about to say or do something that was hard for him. Elsa seemed to have her appetite because she at three giant hot cakes. Looking up at Leonard and Elsa Mick decided it was time to let the secret he had been keeping for this many years out of the bag.

"Leonard, Elsa I need to say something. It won't be an easy thing to accept or to understand but I need you to try. Elsa, your parents died in a shipwreck years ago correct?" Mick asked again trying not to lose his bravery. Elsa just nodded and looked down at her empty plate. Immediately Leonard got up and added two more to it and Elsa smiled at him. Mick wanted to scream and hit something but he kept himself calm. After everything that happened on the waverider, including his temporary insanity and time as Chronos, he knew that he couldn't lose his temper or he would fall back into the hold pattern he once held. Taking a deep breath Mick continued. "Your parents didn't die that night Elsa. They weren't even you fucking parents" Mick growled and immediate tried to calm himself down. Leonard came over and put a hand on his shoulder. It helped but Mick felt as if he had let Leonard down by loosing it. "I'm fine Lenny, I just need to finish." He said and Leonard went back to his seat worried about his oldest and closest friend. "Elsa you and Anna were taken as very small children. Anna was just a baby and you were only three." Again Mick stopped and allowed things to slow down in his brain. Elsa looked at him like a deer in the headlights but also as someone who knew that he was telling the truth. Leonard just looked at him in disbelief. "This is where it gets painful" Mick said looking away from the others. "Elsa, we are your parents. Those were your grandparents and Leonard was their son, until he married me that is". Mick waited to turn around. He didn't want to see their faces. He didn't want to see the disbelief and he was shocked when he felt Leonard's arms wrap around him like a warm blanket on a cold winters night. "Hey Micky look at me" Leonard said in a calm reassuring voice. Mick turned around and saw the tears at the edges of Leonard's eyes. "I knew something has always been eating at you Micky and now I know what. It must be hard to be the only one to remember such a sad thing but I want to remember. I want to know the truth and what happened. I want to prove to myself that I did grow and learn on the waverider" Leonard said grasping Mick tighter. Elsa watched all of it with a mixture of disbelief and curiosity. On one hand two men couldn't have children and she would remember her parents but on the other she never thought she could control her magic and be queen. That's when she noticed steam rising from around both Mick and Leonard. It was magical. For the first time since all of this started Elsa could almost believe what was being said. She got up and went over and wrapped her arms as best as she could around the two men. She had to know. Anna always said that the truth comes out only when love is showed and she wasn't going to argue with Anna after everything that happened in Arundelle. That's when it happened. Fire and ice combined and the three of them became more of a vapor than three different people. Flames as tall as the ceiling and Snow flourishing all around the room came out of nowhere. It was like a raging storm right there in their little hideout.

After many minutes they separated. It was like a rebirth for all of them. The memories rushed back like a tsunami hitting the beach. They all found a place to sit before they fell. Mick got physically sick while Leonard was in a state of shock. Elsa just sat their watching the two men. They were her parents. Her whole life had been one lie after another. She buried her face into the pillows and just started to cry. How was she supposed to explain this to Anna? She didn't know the whole story and it was torturing her.

Mick couldn't move. He didn't want to move. He knew there was no turning back now. Leonard didn't know what to do. All these memories flooding back hurt mentally and physically. He tried to shake it off. I mean hell after everything he had been through in his life this should be simple but it wasn't. It wasn't even in the top ten things he had ever had to deal with. Looking towards Mick, who was always a rock he felt this wave of fear. He had never seen Mick look as pale and fragile as he looked right at this moment. He wanted to run over and just slap Mick in the face and tell him to get his shit together because he needed him. Elsa needed him. He also wanted to go over and wrap his arms around Mick and have Mick wrap his arms around him and the world just vanish away in their embrace with one another. Neither was very realistic because he knew his legs weren't working. He wasn't going anywhere. He couldn't even find the strength to say a damn thing. He wanted to cry out for Mick, for his children, for anything that would listen but he couldn't. He just sat there like the other two. Cold, stiff and scared. Afraid that one wrong move might bring the entire building down around them. So he sat. So the others sat. They didn't move or speak. They just sat not looking at anything but with their eyes wide open. It was like they had been turned to statues and we're waiting to be crushed into little pieces by their attackers. But the attacker was their own minds. Their own memories, guilt, frustration, anger, sadness and confusion. This attacker couldn't be frozen or burnt. It couldn't even be seen. They had to fight the attacker on their own. They had to find the strength to break free of this new dungeon on their own.

Mick saw the day his children were taken and him being helpless to stop it. He saw Leonard being dragged out of their palace and taken back to Arundelle to be kept within stone walls while his parents would masquerade as their children's parents. He couldn't do a damn thing. He was being magically kept within a cell in his own damn palace. He cursed and swore but that didn't help his family. He failed them. He failed Leonard. The voices kept calling him a failure, a loser. They keeps whispering about how he had no power to save anyone. Then on thought, one memory shone brighter than any other and that was the day he held Elsa for the first time. Her bright eyes staring at him, asking him to protect her forever as well as he could and then her face became Leonard's and he was looking at him through the containment cell on the waverider and asked the same from him. He turned his head slightly. Looking straight at Leonard he saw that same look, the one asking him to save him, to be his hero. Mick growled low in his chest and without missing a beat he willed himself up and went to Leonard and held him. Shielded him from the world as Leonard allowed himself to break. Allowed himself to cry. He stood there as Leonard pounded on him asking over and over again why he let all this happen. Mick just stood there. Leonard swing one more time and instead of sitting back up to swing again his slumped over onto Mick. And in a puddle of his own tears and Mick's blood Leonard fell asleep. Elsa watched as her father let her mother beat him up, took all the blame for what happened. She watched him not even twitch a muscle as the stronger blows hit and he didn't move until her mother fell asleep and he wrapped her in his arms. Mick looked over at his now grown daughter. She was so beautiful and so full of the same magic her mother possessed. He motioned for her to sit on his other side. Not knowing exactly why Elsa did just that. Unfolding one of his arms from Leonard he wrapped it around his daughter and pulled her close to him. He wouldn't fail them again. He would make sure they were protected and he would get their home back. Slowly Mick drifted off to sleep but before he did he surrounded them with a wall of flame and just before his eyes finally closed he made a promise to anyone who was listening that his vengeance would be felt.
