Isabelle LOVED making new friends.
That being said, the three boys frowning down at her did not seem very 'friendly.'
That was probably because Uncle Lenny said that the newest members had to 'entertain the kid.'
"Cold sucks! He can't just make us play dolls and crap. This is so freakin stupid!" The blonde boy that wore the bright colors, Trickster, was complaining again.
"I don't know what yer bitchin about, I'm an adult!" The red-head with the funny voice and the missing tooth, Mirror Master, shot back.
"Your twenty two Evan. Your not that much older than us!" The other red-head, Captain Boomerang, snapped.
"Shut yer trap Owen!"
"Why don't you make me?"
"Maybe I will!"
"You guys are sooooooo stupid,"
"Shut up Axel!"
"Yeah, who the Hell asked you?"
"Was it a private conversation? Because usually those ain't screamed across rooms!"
All they ever did was argue, and if she was being honest with herself, they sounded a lot like her and her cousin.
Isa feels tears gather in her eyes as the boys continued to argue over who HAD to play with her. She was fun right? That's what Mommy and Daddy said. That she was super cute, and funny. So why didn't the big boys want to play with her? Sometimes Robbie and the other boys didn't want to because she was a girl, or she was to little. These boys, however, didn't even know her.
"Hey kid, Whats with the long face?" Captain Boomerang asks.
She doesn't mean to make a big scene and cry, but she does anyway on accident.
"What the Hell is going on in here!?" Lenny asks, walking into the room with a VERY angry face.
"Hell if we know! She just started cryin!" Trickster says, gesturing to Belle hatefully, which only makes her cry harder.
Uncle Lenny glares at the boys before getting down on one knee to look at Isa.
"What's wrong?" He asks, his voice is much nicer to her than it was to them.
"I d-don wanna b-b-be nah-nahnoying!" Isabelle sobs out, rubbing her eyes.
"Who said you were annoying?" Lenny asks.
"Them. They said it was stupid that they had to play with me, and when my cousin Lian has to play with me she says I'm nahnoying, even though i don't mean to be," She stops crying, her eyes heavy and her face red.
Cold shoots a mean look over his shoulder at the big boys before turning back to her and saying "Well why don't you wait here and I'll go tell them why it's going to be fun to play with you, OK?"
Isa smiles and nods before Captain Cold gets back up and motions for the boys to fallow him to another room.
(..)
Owen is not good with kids.
Owen is also not good with things like the gutter, unemployment, and starvation so he figures he better get good with kids fast.
"So," he says to the little blonde girl in front of him, "Whats your name?"
She smiles and takes in a big breath before saying "Well my name is Isabelle, but lotsa people call me Izzy, Isa, Bell, Rose, Rosie and my Daddy calls me Ice Princess,"
"Well Isabelle, I'm Owen," He points to himself, "The freak with the purse is Axel,"
"It's a satchel! How hard is that? Really!" Trickster interjects loudly from Owens left,
"And this is Evan," He jerks his head backwards towards Mirror Master, who in a weak attempt to be friendly, smiles at her.
Isabelle smiles back and walks to Evan, who looks down at her with one eyebrow raised.
"Look," She puts her arms in the air and he picks her up, if a bit unwillingly. "I lost a tooth to!" She sticks her tongue through a hole in the bottom row of her teeth and Evans eyes narrow a bit.
"Don't worry. Daddy says that I'll get my big girl teeth next, and I bet you will too,"
"OK! So what do you like to do?" Owen removes Isabelle from Evans hands and setting her on the floor.
"I like to color, and practice my powers, and i like to go shopping. What about you?" She smiles, and Owen smiles back.
"Um, I like to play video games, steal stuff, slod boomerangs.." Owen trails off, running out of stuff to say.
"What's your favorite color?" Axel asks.
"Blue," She says, "Like Ice,"
"Ice is white,"
"No its not!"
"It is to!"
"Nuh uh!"
"Yeah hu!"
"It don't matter! Jesus Axel she's like six! Why are you arguing with her!" Owen yells, throwing his arms in the air.
"I'm seven!"
"Whats yer favorite animal?" Evan sighs.
"I LOVE polar bears! They don't get cold, just like me!" Her voice flattens a little as she says " Mommy said I might get one for my birthday, but she was on vacation and I didn't"
"Ill get you a polar bear no sweat!" Axel says, his face lighting up.
"Really?!"
"You bet! Give me like, an hour. You wont be disappointed, I swear!"
(..)
Lenard Snart had been friends with Joar since he'd gotten in the game, had met Joars' girl before the pregnancy had killed her, met Junior before the kid could walk, been there when he and Artemis got married, listened when the kid expressed his fears about the baby killing her, seen the little girl tons of times over the years, and had no problem watching her.
He didn't have children personally, but he'd raised a few. On occasions when the urge came over him to maybe consider having one of his very own he just looked at the ones around him.
Like the blonde one that has a live freaking bear on a chain in the backyard of the hideout, for instance.
"I thought you were going to Toys R Us or some shit!" Owen yells as the bear jumps up on its hind legs.
"When did I say that?" Tricks asks, rolling his eyes.
He sighs to himself.
It was times like this that made him miss his old group of boys. Digger, Sam, James, and Hartley never brought home stolen zoo animals. Sure they'd done a lot of other crazy shit, but never zoo animals.
But that was the past, and here in the present the bear was trying to chew through its wooden post.
"Take it back!" He spits out.
"C'mon Cold! You wont let us get a dog!"
"Let alone a freaking bear! I want that thing gone in the next twenty minutes or else!"
Axel, Owen, and Evan nod and Len turns his attention to the little girl.
"Are you hungry?" She shakes her head yes, "OK then. Axel, lunch! Evan, Owen, bear! Got it? Good then go,"
(..)
Axel supposes he knows a thing or two about kids considering hes only fifteen himself.
He gets the idea when the little ice pop throws a fry into the garbage can on the ground from the building they're eating on top of, ten stories below.
"You ain't a bad shot!" Axel praises.
"Duh! I'm practicing to be just like my mommy! She shoots bows and arrows real good," Isabelle says excitedly, but her face deflates a little as she adds, "But my big cousin Lian is better than I am,"
"Yeah?"
"Mmhhmm. She knows it to! Shes always tryin to scare me, and pull pranks on me and makes fun of me just because I'm littler than her!" Her face is alight with anger, and Axel can definitely relate to being younger than everybody else.
"I wish I could get her back," Isabelle pouts.
Oh, he can handle this.
If she's a good shot with a bow, then she'd be a good shot with a gun. Well, a modified water gun. His mind works over the idea, he could get the ink out of those things that explode when you rob a bank and fill the gun up with that, then he could mess with its design and make it shoot three times farther than it already does. If she's that good of a shot she could do a lot of damage.
"Lemme call Boomer and Evan real quick, Kay?" He Says, pulling out his cell phone for the week, smiling to himself.
(..)
Bright colors are zipping in and out of Isabelle's line of sight, reds and yellows moving so fast its making her eyes burn, and the smell of nacho cheese and pretzels is starting to make her nauseous.
She feels wind off of little tornados blow her hair every few seconds and it makes her want to move, run, help, something other than sit on top of the Hungry Reggie's co session stand at the Central City Mall and watch the action unfurl in front of her.
"I got it!" Trickster exclaims, raising a big water gun over his head as a boomerang explodes behind him, knocking the R off the Toys R Us sign.
"Finally!" Captain Boomerang shouts, dodging the yellow blurs attack, "Mirror Master, NOW!"
Through the large Academy window runs a large white bear, causing both Flash and Kid Flash enough confusion to stop for a moment, plenty of time for Owen and Axel to get into the mirrorverse, and for Evan to pop her through the shiny plastic of the stand.
After a very spinny, shiny, twirly ride, they pop back into the hideout through a mirror.
"We are now bear FREE!" Owen cheers, punching the air above him.
"I hope ye never have to say tha again," Evan deadpans.
"Len should just let us get a dog,"
"Ye'd kill it,"
"No we wouldn't!"
"Ya barley take care of yerselves, did a awful job lookin after Isabelle,"
"She's alive and fed, how is that an awful job?!"
"Yeah and I didn't see you contributing much!"
"Ye took her on a job!"
"Yeah! And you guys didn't even let me help! I'm a real good helper, my mommy even says so, and Grandpa and Papa let me and Li help when they robbed the moving bank. I got to ride on top of the big car and everything!"
All three boys stop arguing to shoot her a strange look and she purses her lips.
"What?" Axel asks, tilting his head to the side a bit.
"Yeah," Isabelle says, "My Grandpas are pretty cool like that. I want to be a bad guy when i grow up. Just like my Mommy and Daddy! But not my cousin Lian, she wants to be a good guy, like her Daddy,"
"Its nice to have goals in life," Owen says, nodding his approval.
"You think so?" Isabelle asks. When she'd told Ms. Penny, her teacher, that she wanted to be a supervillan when she grew up she'd sent her to the principals office and he'd called her Daddy.
"Sure," Owen shrugs, "My dad was Captain Boomerang before I was, Hes the one who taught me to throw,"
"You spent like two days with him,"
"We bonded! Stop ruining the moment!"
"I'm not the first Trickster neither, this guy James Jesse was before he went strait,"
"An Sam was Mirror Master 'till he died an I took over,"
Her Daddy wasn't the first Icicle, her Papa Jo was, and her Mommy wasn't the first Tigress, her Grandma Crock was.
Isabelle wonders if maybe one day she'll be Tigress, or Artemis, or Icicle. If Lian will be Speedy, or Red Arrow, or maybe even Cheshire.
She hopes that even when she's big, that her family will still be fighting right by her side.
(..)
Later that night when Joar carries his sleeping granddaughter to their borrowed car he prays that whatever she has in the trash bag held tightly in her little hand doesn't make this three weeks any worse than it already has been.
