Frost approached Amunet from behind. "Well, if it isn't the one who I trusted the most. Why did you betray me Frost? I thought we had something special." Amunet said.
"You were heavy into the blue dust. I did it because you are better than that. You don't need some drug to alter your mind, to make you a slave." Frost said.
She ran her cold hand up Amunet's arm. Amunet held her hand and then twisted it, bringing Frost towards her, threatening her. "Say what you want, Frosty dear… but you betrayed me. You never even visited me when I was locked away." Amunet threw Frost to the floor.
"I know that you don't approve of my methods, but I did what I had to do… you were out of control." Frost said as she clambered to her feet. "How dare you treat me that way!" she snapped.
"Oh, you used to love it when I treated you that way." Amunet said slyly "What's changed? Wait, it's those friends of yours… that speedster and the STAR Labs girl, isn't it? Are you trying to be a hero? Do you really think you have it in you? You're nothing but my beautiful, cold hearted killer queen."
Frost could feel the anger growing inside of her, but she kept it at bay. She was here for a mission, to stop Amunet from creating an army.
"You're not answering me, Frost." Amunet replied. "Why do you spend so much time with those low-lives?" Frost had to be cautious the way she answered this question.
"It passes the time." Frost said. "Now, how bout I show you just how much I've missed you?" Frost asked the woman. She kissed her, hoping that Amunet wouldn't see past her lies.
Sara and Astrid sat with Leonard and Mick in the living room.
"You used to be cool!" Astrid said to her friend.
"And you used to be in control!" Sara said back. "You need to understand that things change, I grew up. And now I'm the captain of my own ship and I travel through time…"
"So, why did you come back here, then? I mean, yeah I messaged you… but still, you came at the drop of a hat. If I was the captain of my own time machine ship… God, that would be awesome… I don't think I'd ever come back to Central City again!" Astrid said.
"It's not all fun and games, Astrid." Sara replied.
Astrid was growing bored. "Okay, I get the point… No more fun and games. I'm going to bed!"
"Astrid? You're not going to sneak out the window, are you?" Sara asked her, "You remember that I taught you half of those tricks, so I know them too!"
"Nope…" Astrid replied, she had a better idea. "You're going to let me walk right out of here!" she tried to compel her.
Sara shook her head. "It's not going to work… we have anti-telepath gear in." she said with a smirk.
Astrid huffed. "Fine, I'm going to bed!" she stormed up the stairs.
"She's not going to her room…" Sara said to Leonard and Mick. "It's clear that she is going to just do whatever she wants, regardless of what we say… so, I have an idea… the two of you can go with her… Look out for her… if something happens to her… I'm telling you as both your captain, your friend… and her friend… that I will make you both regret it!"
"That seems like a very clever idea, Captain…" Mick grumbled, "You're trusting two criminals that once kidnapped that girl, to babysit her? Did you forget that I set my own family's house on fire?"
"No, I didn't forget, Mick. I am trusting the two of you because I see the two of you being the best thing for her right now. Your loyalty and honor will ensure her safety, while your love for getting into trouble will give her what she is looking for." Sara replied.
"Got it…" Snart said, as he got to his feet. "We should probably run after her now… She's heading across the lawn, as we speak." He and Mick ran out of the living room to chase after her.
Leonard Snart shot an ice blast in front of Astrid, stopping her in her tracks. She turned and snapped at him. "You shot me!"
"I didn't shoot you, Besides, think of it less of me shooting you, and more of me telling you to stop, so we can join you." He told her.
"You want to join me?" she asked him.
"Yes, we do!" he said to her, remembering that with his anti-telepathic gear, she couldn't read his mind.
"We do, Princess." Mick added.
Astrid groaned, "Please don't call me princess. It's kinda creepy." She said.
"Whatever you say, Princess." He replied, not caring. She rolled her eyes.
"Whatever! Sara clearly put the two of you up to this, to teach me a lesson. I don't even know you guys!" she said.
"Actually, you do." Leonard said, he removed his anti-telepathic communicator. "You actually know me very well. Go ahead, read my mind, you'll figure it out."
She read his mind. "The two of you are criminals. You kidnapped Cisco and I and you used me to steal something." She said. "You even shot my arm… so, that's how I got that scar! Hmm… So why did Sara send the two of you along?"
Leonard applied his communicator back to his ear. "Because we have earned our worth to her, and she trusts us… and because we know how to have fun… Why else? So, where were you headed, anyway?"
Astrid shrugged and then grinned. "I didn't really have a plan before… but now, I do!"
"You did what?" Barry, Harry and Cisco demanded of Sara when she arrived at STAR labs and explained to them that she had left Astrid with Leonard and Mick.
"Relax, the two of them have come a long way…" Sara assured them.
"How could they have come a long way in only a few months? They kidnapped us, shot her and took her to steal from Mercury Labs!" Cisco asked, his voice had adapted a high pitch tone. "Is this a time travel thing? How do we know that you're even our exact Sara? Sara wouldn't do this!"
"Yes, Cisco, it's a time travel thing, and yes, it's me. To the lot of you it only seems like a few months since we all met Vixen in Detroit, but to us it's been just over a year, I think. We've all bonded. Even Jefferson has proven his worth in the team. It's been good, sure we've made a few mistakes but we've fixed them… which explains why we are back in town… we need to stop Amunet before she succeeds with creating her army." She explained.
"Wow, so you have actually been to the future?" Barry asked her. "Is there anything you can tell us? Maybe give us a warning?"
"I'm sorry, Barry. That's one rule about time travel that you should have learnt by now… I can't tell you anything." Sara explained.
"So you can't tell us if we have kids? Or how we die? Or… even what will happen in the next Star Wars movie… Wait, don't tell me! No spoilers!" Cisco said.
"Ramon… shut up!" Harry replied, "Sara… How would you suggest that we stop Amunet? I understand that the rest of your team would have a plan."
"Actually, it's just the three of us here, the others are on another mission. So, we will need to work together… But I can assure you, that Snart and Mick can be trusted looking after Astrid." She explained.
"Alright, we'll take you for your word…" Barry said, "So, what can we do about Amunet? Frost is currently with her as we speak."
Cisco grinned, "Yeah… Frost and Amunet are… Ya know, a thing… and I'm guessing now that Amunet is out of prison she and Frost will be…" he said, remembering Sara's comment that she had made about Frost, during their Halloween movie marathon.
Barry, DR Wells and Sara all stared at him, so he changed the subject. "So, what do we have planned? I suppose that we can't do too much until Frost gets back."
Barry shuffled nervously on his feet, while he knew that Frost was not Caitlin, he was able to understand Ronnie's initial awkwardness with Frost being in a relationship with a major crime lord.
