Chapter Three
"Well?" Snart asked. "Can you fix us?"
He and Barry sat on one of the tables in S.T.A.R. Labs. Wires were wrapped in a ring around both Snart's and Barry's heads. Caitlin looked thoughtfully at one of the monitors.
She took in a shaky breath, "Yes, I think I know what I need to do."
"Then why do I sense there is more to that sentence?" Snart asked.
"Because there is. I can fix you, but it's going to take time."
Snart and Barry exchanged a look.
"How long, are you thinking, exactly?" Barry asked.
"About the rest of the day," Caitlin answered.
"That isn't too bad," Snart said, removing the wires and hopping off of the table.
"Where do you think you're going?" Cisco asked.
"What do you mean?" Snart said, an edge catching to his voice.
"We're not just going to let a criminal run around Central City in the Flash's body," Cisco explained.
Snart looked between each of the members of the Flash's
team, "So, what? You're just gonna keep me here?"
"Yup," Cisco answered.
"That might be a problem," Snart said.
"Oh?" Cisco said. "And why is that?"
"I have a job tonight. I plan on doing it," Snart answered.
"There's no way I'm letting you commit a crime in my body," Barry said.
"Make me," Snart said defiantly.
Before the situation could get any more out of hand, alarms began to sound at the computers in the center of the room.
"What now?" Snart asked.
Cisco raced over to the computers, "We have a problem."
"What is it?" Caitlin asked.
"There's a meta trying to rob a bank."
Caitlin, Cisco, and Barry all stared at Snart.
"What?"
"The Flash has to stop it," Cisco said.
"Well, that's too bad."
"Please," Caitlin said. "We can't just let this happen."
"If you hadn't noticed, I'm not a hero," Snart replied.
"I'll make a deal with you," Barry said, catching Snart's attention. "I'll do your job if you stop the bank robbery."
"Barry!" Caitlin absconded.
Snart looked thoughtfully at Barry, "Tell no one about this."
"I promise," Barry said, extending his hand to Snart.
"Then we have a deal," he said, shaking Barry's hand.
O
Cisco dragged Barry into the hallway, "Barry! What are you thinking?! This is a terrible idea!"
"How hard could it be? I mean, I know he's planning to rob Mercury Labs, and I've been there so, it shouldn't be too hard, right?"
"That place has state of the art security!"
"So? I'll just have Snart talk me through it."
"Hey, guys!" Caitlin called. "You're needed in here."
Barry and Cisco walked back into the room and saw Snart wearing the Flash's suit and tugging on it uncomfortably.
"Be careful with that!" Cisco said. "That took me a while to make."
"Sorry," Snart said sarcastically. "I'll be more careful."
Cisco huffed and walked over to the computer.
"We'll talk you through everything, okay, Snart?" Barry said.
"Yeah, I got it."
"That means no stealing," Caitlin reminded.
"We'll see about that," Snart said mischievously.
"Okay," Cisco said. "Are you ready?"
Snart glared at Cisco, "Where am I going?"
Cisco glared back.
"Central City Primary Bank," Barry answered for him.
Snart smiled and raced out of S.T.A.R. Labs.
A/N: Sorry this chapter was a bit shorter than normal. The next few are much more exciting.
